Deokhwa Won 덕화원

Deokhwa Won is a long-running Chinese restaurant at 350-84 Deokjeong-dong in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do. It has continued under a Chinese Korean family and is designated as a Baeknyeon Gage, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups program for enduring small businesses. Ganjjajang is prepared after the order by stir-frying chunjiang with large pieces of onion and pork in a wok. The dark sauce and boiled noodles arrive in separate bowls, preserving the onion pieces and allowing the sauce to be mixed at the table. Samseon ganjjajang adds seafood such as shrimp and squid to that wok-fried base. Standard jjajangmyeon differs at the point of service because its sauce is already placed over the noodles in one bowl. Jjamppong begins with meat, vegetables, and seafood tossed over high heat before broth is added. The soup is red from chili powder but remains relatively clear rather than heavily thickened. Jjamppong bap serves rice instead of noodles beside the same soup. Fried rice cooks individual grains with egg and vegetables in the wok and places a portion of jjajang sauce at the side. Tangsuyuk uses long pieces of pork under a thin fried coating and follows the older serving style in which a translucent sweet sauce with vegetables is poured over the meat. The item called denppura is pepper-seasoned fried pork served without the sweet sauce, leaving the meat and crisp coating exposed. Pan-fried dumplings are shaped as half moons and browned across their broad surfaces. Yangjangpi provides a larger shared dish of starch sheets, seafood, meat, and cut vegetables arranged in separate sections. The storefront appears narrow, but the dining area runs deep into the building. Tables occupy the main hall, and several room-like sections branch from the interior corridor, leaving enough surface for shared platters and individual noodle bowls.
