Our Suwon jjamppong review 🍜
We went to

home of what we’d call
the jjamppong of our lives.
Jjamppong — squid legs and body rings cover the broth
(영통상가 Yeongtong arcade, 1F)

💰 Bobae jjamppong 9,500 won
Bobae ganjjajang 11,000 won
🎁 Flower buns on the house
🅿 1–2 spaces behind the restaurant
📞 0507-1465-8326
It’s a good spot for work dinners,
and lots of students
from the hagwons (academies) nearby
come here too.
Rather than lingering for hours,
it’s for eating quickly and lightly.
🦑 Jjamppong — no skimping on squid
The first thing we noticed
was the squid on top
of the jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup).
Not chopped into little bits —
the legs stay whole,
and the body comes in thick rings!

Wood ear mushrooms, mussels, chives
and sliced Cheongyang chilies on top —
all in a red broth.
One chopstick-lift of noodles — you can see a whole squid ring
Big squid legs and rings
right on top
🍳 Ganjjajang — with a fried egg
Ganjjajang is black-bean noodles
with the sauce stir-fried separately
and spooned over the noodles —
and on top, a fried egg!
The meat and onion are in big pieces,
with shrimp peeking out here and there.

It’s the kind of dish
you have to photograph
before you mix it.

🥢 Tangsuyuk, sauce on the side
The tangsuyuk (sweet-and-sour pork)
doesn’t come with the sauce poured on —
it’s served in a small dish on the side.
So there’s no need to fight
the great “pour or dip” debate.

🎁 Flower buns on the house
The flower buns (kkotppang, steamed buns)
came on the house.
Dip them in chunjang (black bean paste)
or soak them in the jjamppong broth.
