After a look around Gupo Market, a late-evening dinner here came to uni-jjajang (minced-pork black bean noodles) at 6,000 won, jjamppong gukbap (spicy seafood soup with rice) at 10,000 won and mini tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) at 9,000 won, with the chewy house-made noodles and the fluffy rice in the jjamppong broth standing out most. Hongmigwan is a certified good-price restaurant, so ordering a main and a side dish together still felt easy on the wallet. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon–Sat 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:30–17:00 - **Last order**: 20:00 - **Closed**: Every Sunday - **Uni-jjajang (minced-pork black bean noodles)**: 6,000 won - **Jjamppong gukbap (spicy seafood soup with rice)**: 10,000 won - **Mini tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork)**: 9,000 won - **Services**: Takeout, delivery and reservations available; wifi, waiting area and parking - **Also good to know**: Certified good-price restaurant; lunch set menu available *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* ![Hongmigwan, a Chinese restaurant near Gupo Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-01-1m7x7-m-1200.webp) > A late-evening visit to Hongmigwan, the homemade-noodle Chinese restaurant near Gupo Market ## A late dinner at Hongmigwan after browsing Gupo Market Hongmigwan is a well-known spot near Gupo Market (구포시장). After finishing up at the market and looking for a late dinner nearby, I stopped in. Walking through the night air, I noticed waiting chairs set up outside — unusual for a Chinese restaurant. I'd heard there's a wait during the day, but since Chinese restaurants tend to turn tables quickly, apparently you don't have to worry about a long wait. Since we went late, we were seated right away. ## Hongmigwan hours, closing days and parking ![Hongmigwan hours and service information](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-02-t4w1l-900.webp) Hours are Monday to Saturday 11:00–21:00, with a break time from 15:30 to 17:00 and last order at 20:00. Closed every Sunday. Takeout, delivery, and reservations are available, along with wifi, a waiting area, and parking. It's a convenient spot for eating near Gupo Market while also browsing the market itself — if you're driving, it's worth thinking ahead about parking. ## Hongmigwan menu and prices ![Hongmigwan's Chinese food menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-03-115aq-630.webp) Hongmigwan has plenty of Chinese dishes beyond jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) — uni-jjajang (black bean noodles), fried rice, jjamppong-guksu, tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork), and more. What we ordered: - Uni-jjajang ₩6,000 - Jjamppong-guksu ₩10,000 - Mini tangsuyuk ₩9,000 These days, ordering a meal plus one side dish at a Chinese restaurant can add up fast, but Hongmigwan was relatively easy on the wallet. I later found out it's a certified good-price restaurant. The lunch set menu also looks quite appealing. ## Inside the Hongmigwan dining room At first, I honestly just thought of it as a regular Chinese restaurant near Gupo Market. But once inside, the dining room was cleaner and more organized than I expected, with waiting chairs off to one side. I asked about the daytime wait I'd heard about, and was told the food comes out fast, so the wait doesn't drag on. I could see the chef cooking right in the kitchen — something about the way they were dressed caught my eye from the start, so I snapped a photo. After eating, I understood why I'd had that feeling. ![View of Hongmigwan's dining room and kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-04-vw9bt-900.webp) ![Hongmigwan's clean, tidy dining room interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-05-lzogm-m-900.webp) ![Waiting chairs set up on one side of Hongmigwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-06-svz3y-900.webp) ![The chef cooking in Hongmigwan's kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-07-spxwr-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of Hongmigwan's interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-08-sb799-563.webp) ## Uni-jjajang, 6,000 won: how the house-made noodles taste First up, the uni-jjajang. ![A bowl of uni-jjajang at Hongmigwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-09-1fa9v-900.webp) ![Uni-jjajang sauce and noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-10-1ibwn-533.webp) ![Handmade noodles lifted from the uni-jjajang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-11-14ad3-810.webp) Even in photos the noodles look pretty springy, and eating them confirmed it — seriously chewy. Being handmade, they felt completely different from typical jjajangmyeon noodles right from the first bite. Mixed with the black bean sauce, the noodles held their bite instead of going soft too quickly, which I loved. ## Jjamppong gukbap, 10,000 won: rice in the spicy broth Next, the jjamppong-guksu. ![Hongmigwan's jjamppong-guksu and fried rice set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-12-m5cse-900.webp) ![Jjamppong broth loaded with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-13-1l0jo-838.webp) ![Fluffy, well-fried fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-14-123q5-729.webp) This one really stood out. The fried rice served with the jjamppong broth had grains that didn't stick together at all — perfectly loose and fluffy. The broth had a deep flavor from seafood like clams and squid, and dipping the fried rice into it added a nutty richness. It tasted completely different from eating jjamppong and fried rice separately. ## Mini tangsuyuk, 9,000 won Last was the mini tangsuyuk. ![A plate of Hongmigwan's mini tangsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-15-19fov-900.webp) ![Crispy fried tangsuyuk with dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap-16-14y7x-783.webp) The batter was fried up nice and crisp, and I appreciated that it wasn't greasy at all. It looked perfectly fried from the start — crispy and nutty on the outside — and even dipped in sauce, the crunch held up. ## What stood out most at Hongmigwan: the noodles and the jjamppong gukbap Personally, what surprised me most that day was the noodles and the jjamppong-guksu. The uni-jjajang in particular was far better than I expected. I walked in thinking it was just a neighborhood Chinese place, and my mind changed the moment I tasted the noodles. The jjamppong broth had a strong, savory seafood flavor, and the fried rice was so well made that the grains seemed to drift apart like snow. Of all the jjamppong I've had, this one ranks among the most memorable. ## Is Hongmigwan worth a visit? Final verdict I stumbled onto this place while browsing Gupo Market, and it turned out far more satisfying than expected. The chewy handmade noodles and the fried-rice-with-jjamppong combo especially stuck with me. The interior was clean and had a self-service corner that made things easy, and on top of it all, the prices weren't a burden. I walked in with low expectations and walked out with a completely different opinion. If you want Chinese food near Gupo Market, it's worth a visit — and next time I'm in Gupo, I'll definitely be back. Total revisit vibes. ## Where it is - Hongmigwan (홍미관) - 93 Nakdongdae-ro 1780beon-gil, Buk-gu, Busan, South Korea, 1st floor - 부산광역시 북구 낙동대로1780번길 93 1층 - 35.2060004, 129.0040028 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%8D%EB%AF%B8%EA%B4%80/@35.2060004,129.0040028,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@a-bowl-nearby/hongmigwan-gupo-late-dinner-jjamppong-gukbap/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
