Sinseung Banjeom 신승반점(新勝飯店)

Sinseung Banjeom is a Chinese-Korean restaurant at 31-3 Chinatown-ro 44beon-gil in Jung-gu, Incheon, serving yuni jajangmyeon, jjamppong, fried rice, and shared dishes. It is associated with the family descended from Gonghwachun, a restaurant tied to the early history of Korean jajangmyeon, and places yuni jajang at the center of its menu. The sauce is made by finely mincing meat and onion and frying them deeply with chunjang, then spooning the dense mixture over thin noodles. Instead of large pieces of meat, minced ingredients spread throughout the black-bean sauce. Toasted paste aroma and onion sweetness therefore coat nearly every strand. The noodles lean very thin and yielding rather than thick and highly elastic, allowing them to lift the heavy sauce quickly. Red jjamppong contains seafood and pork in a clean but peppery broth. White jjamppong shifts toward shellfish and a clear soup. Standard jjamppong fits an order centered on chili broth and fine noodles, while the white version emphasizes clam flavor without the same red seasoning. Fried rice is wok-cooked so the grains remain separated, bringing a roasted aroma and a dry texture that differs from either noodle soup. Glutinous-rice tangsuyuk wraps pork in a crisp, lightly chewy shell and pairs it with a moderately sweet sauce in an older Chinese-Korean style. Medium shrimp kkanpung places fried shrimp with peanuts, pepper, and crisp garnishes, combining chile seasoning with nutty crunch. The grilled dumplings have a generous chive filling inside browned wrappers. Two diners can set yuni jajang beside white jjamppong and share tangsuyuk, separating black sauce, clear broth, and fried pork. A larger group can add fried rice and shrimp, distributing noodles, rice, pork, and seafood across the table. The lively Chinatown dining room frames a menu built around thin noodles with concentrated chunjang, a choice of red or clear soup, and crisp shared plates.
