Sinseung Banjeom 신승반점
Incheon · Open Port District & Wolmido · Meal
Run by descendants of a family tied to the early Chinese restaurant scene in Incheon, this Chinatown shop has built a reputation around yuni-jajang. The black bean sauce uses meat chopped almost to a paste, which gives a smoother, slightly sweeter bowl than the usual chunky version. Sweet-and-sour pork and fried dumplings also appear on tables.
The room is plain and quick, with turnover rather than lingering, and queues form on weekends and holidays. If you do not like waiting, pick a weekday or an off-peak hour. Costs are in the middle range for Korean casual dining, and prices and hours may change, so check before you go.
A few minutes' walk from Incheon Station (인천역) Exit 1, inside Chinatown. (Show a driver: 신승반점)
