3.5
(26 reviews)A long-running Chinese restaurant in Geoje, opened in 1951 and operated by a Hwagyo (ethnic Chinese) owner. Locals come for shared dishes — and palbochae are especially popular — so many diners order several plates rather than just jjajangmyeon. Their jjajangmyeon and jjamppong use characteristically thin noodles, and a standout is a clear, udon-style samseon jjamppong finished with sesame oil for a light, unusual seafood broth.
Local Tips
- •Run by a Hwagyo owner since 1951 — a local favorite for classic Chinese-Korean plates
- •Best enjoyed family-style: order a couple of dishes like tangsuyuk and palbochae to share
- •On-site parking and open daily 11:00–21:00 — try the mild samseon jjamppong (clear, udon-style) for something different
