Jinmi Banjeom 진미반점
Jeonju · Deokjin, Jeonbuk Univ. & Palbok · Meal
Jinmi Banjeom is a Chinese restaurant known for mul-jjajang, a Jeonju take on black bean noodles served in a soupy sauce. The version here uses seafood and soybean paste to make a thick, savory broth, and it is milder than you might expect. The noodles are chewy, and the portions are fair.
Queues at lunch can be long, so go early or late. Prices are low and cards are accepted. Menus have pictures, so pointing is easy.
It makes a fun contrast to the Korean dishes elsewhere on your trip.
The restaurant is in the Inhu-dong area of northern Jeonju, about 25 minutes from the Hanok Village by taxi. Show the Korean name to a driver. (Show a driver: 진미반점)
