Hongmyeong is a Chinese restaurant near Hakdong Station that features gan-jjajang as its signature dish. The sauce uses onions stir-fried briefly to maintain a sharp crunch and a hint of spiciness. While the texture is oily, the finish remains clean and pairs with firm wheat noodles. Regular customers often finish the meal by mixing a bowl of steamed rice into the leftover sauce. Starting from 5 PM, the kitchen serves handmade dumplings, which are limited to one plate per table and often sell out early. Other menu items include nanjavansu, featuring tender meat in a sweet and savory glaze, and nutty fried rice. The restaurant, located on Nonhyeon-ro in Gangnam-gu, also serves dishes like yangjanpi and Sichuan-style soup noodles. Pickled radish and zha cai are served as side dishes, while raw onions are available on request. The establishment provides valet parking for those traveling by car in this busy area. Weekday lunch hours see a high turnover due to many solo diners, but queues typically form during evenings and weekends.
