Where to Eat in Suwon: Chilseong Banjeom’s Stone-Plate Jjajangmyeon — Half-and-Half Plates and Sweet-and-Sour Pork (Prices & Parking)
Our stone-plate jjajang review from Suwon 🍜
There’s a place in Suwon
that serves jjajangmyeon
(black bean noodles)

We went to the main branch.

😮 The stone plate steals the show
The moment it lands on the table,
its sheer size makes you wonder,
“Is this really jjajang?”
Before your chopsticks,
you’ll reach for your phone!
🥢 Loaded with big chunks
It’s not just the black sauce —
wood ear mushrooms, onion,
Korean zucchini and meat,
all cut into big pieces,
fill every gap between the noodles.

Thanks to the stone plate,
right to the last bite,
the steam keeps rising.
You can even hear
the sauce sizzling.
🌶 Half and half on one plate
Something else caught our eye:
half and half on one stone plate.
On the left, black jjajang;
on the right, spicy red stir-fried noodles,
with big pieces of squid,
carrot, zucchini and onion.
Jjajang and spicy stir-fried noodles, half and half — thin green onions mark the border

Two flavors on one plate —
perfect when you
can’t decide what to order!

Go half and half on one plate!
Jjajang + spicy stir-fried noodles
— you get to try both
🍖 Sweet-and-sour pork, sauce on the side
The sweet-and-sour pork (tangsuyuk)
was generous too.
The batter is
the white, puffed-up kind.
The sauce isn’t poured over —
it comes on the side.
No need for the classic
”pour or dip” debate —
add it however you like.
Sweet-and-sour pork — the sauce comes on the side, so add it the way you like
Portions are big —
order it with the stone-plate jjajang
and the table is full.
🍳 Eating alone? A one-person plate
There’s also a smaller stone plate,
just right for one.
Like the big one,
it’s topped with quail eggs and sprouts,
and comes in a pan with a handle,
set on a wooden stand.
One-person stone plate — it comes in a pan with a handle
🥬 Side dishes from the self-serve bar
The side dishes are the basics:
danmuji (yellow pickled radish),
kimchi and onion,
plus chunjang (black bean paste).
Side dishes — danmuji, kimchi and onion, with chunjang beside them
You help yourself
at the self-serve bar.
Tongs, scissors and small plates
are set out there too.
A sign says
”Take only what you’ll eat,“
so grab just as much as you need.
Self-serve bar — take only what you'll eat
