I had a double-portion jjamppong, jajangmyeon, and flat dumplings at this jjamppong specialist in Siheung. The broth is deep with genuine wok-fire smokiness, and the slightly thicker noodles find their groove with the soup as you eat. Mussel shells come pre-removed so you can eat comfortably before the noodles swell, and both seafood and meat are packed in, making one bowl substantial. The jajangmyeon has solid umami that holds up even when mixed with rice, and the flat dumplings are crisp on the outside and moist inside. Rice is provided free and unlimited, and every table has onions and pickled radish, eliminating trips to a self-serve counter. The location is not the most accessible, but the parking lot is nearly full even at 2 PM on weekends, and Chuseok holidays bring 30 to 40-minute waits. The sweet-and-sour pork has a thin batter that makes the texture somewhat rough, and the sauce runs heavy.
