Jowon-dong Gyodong Banjeom Bonjeom 조원동 교동반점 본점

Even the base level of Gyodong jjamppong is hot enough to make you sweat. You can pick from levels 1 to 3 or ask for it milder. The noodles are as springy as jjolmyeon and come up thickly coated in the dense red broth with squid and vegetables. Friends who cannot take the heat usually order yuni jjajang, black bean sauce loaded with minced pork. It runs salty, and borrowing two or three spoonfuls of jjamppong broth to mix in gives it a spicy kick. The tangsuyuk has thick pork in a crisp, chewy batter that stays moist even after it cools.
