It’s a smooth ride with this tender tangsuyuk. It feels like a beacon of hope in Seongsu-dong. This Chinese eatery is a bit unconventional, ditching the noodle dishes altogether. Instead, they offer tantalizing options like jjampong rice, japchae rice, pine mushroom rice, and their signature house special rice. They also serve up pork tangsuyuk, beef tangsuyuk, kanpungyuk (spicy chicken tangsuyuk), and a handful of other delectable dishes. But what sets them apart? Coffee. Yes, you heard it right. They cap off your meal with a cup of coffee, perhaps a clever tactic to lure in the younger crowd. Despite not being a cafรฉ, their business model is refreshingly unique. And let’s talk ambianceโit’s impeccably clean, giving off vibes like you’re dining at a successful businesswoman friend’s place.
If you’re flying solo, treat yourself to the pork tangsuyuk and a bowl of jjampong rice. The tangsuyuk comes generously coated in sauce, reminiscent of old-school hot and sour soup. The meat is tender, practically melting in your mouth, bursting with flavor with every bite. And let me tell you about the 90-year-old grandmas seated across from meโthey were absolutely thrilled with their meal, declaring themselves fully satisfied.
Now, onto the jjampong riceโI wasted no time diving into that soup. It’s a delightful mix of savory and refreshing, akin to sipping on a bowl of bean sprout soup. Perfect for those looking to cure a hangover! Even after slurping up all the noodles, you’ll still find traces of vermicelli, showcasing their dedication to perfecting the jjampong itself. Paired with the rolled rice, it’s like having a neighborhood gem right in your backyard.
