This old-town Chinese restaurant has been serving the same neighborhood for decades, and its jajangmyeon is the kind older Koreans remember from childhood: a lighter, brownish sauce with a rounded flavor that differs from the dark, glossy black bean noodles served in most chain restaurants. Other dishes include sweet and sour pork, spicy seafood noodle soup and dumplings. It is a good option for visitors who have had enough dakgalbi and want something less spicy.
Seating is simple and service is quick, with few English words but a photo menu that helps. Expect a short wait around noon.
It stands on Geumgang-ro near the dakgalbi alley, about three minutes on foot from Myeongdong Dakgalbi Alley. Use nearby public parking. (Show a driver: 회영루)
