Condensed milk buns at 24-hour Mokdong Chinese restaurant Yugwanjang

Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch

I was looking for a Chinese restaurant in Mokdong open late and ended up at Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch. When I'm craving Chinese food, familiar dishes like jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) or fried rice are always the first things that come to mind.

This time it felt like a waste to order just one dish, so I got both jjajangmyeon and fried rice, plus fried dumplings and condensed milk flower bread on the side. Above all, this place is

a Chinese restaurant that runs 24 hours, so I liked that I could drop by without worrying too much about timing. It's a good option whether you're hunting for a late-night meal or want something filling early in the day, so it's worth remembering if you're around Mokdong or Omokgyo.

Where is Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch?

Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch sits right in front of Omokgyo Station, so it's easy to find.

The address is 2nd floor, 256 Mokdongdong-ro, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul.

It's a good spot to swing by after a meal around Omokgyo, and also convenient when you're craving Chinese food while in Mokdong.

Going into the building takes you up to the restaurant, and there's a waiting area near the entrance.

A clean, comfortable interior

Walking in, the interior was bigger and cleaner than I expected, which made a great first impression.

The tables were spaced fairly generously too, so it didn't feel cramped and the atmosphere was comfortable for a meal.

You might picture an old-fashioned look for a Chinese restaurant, but Yugwanjang Banjeom is neatly kept overall, so it felt comfortable enough to bring family.

It looked good for solo diners too, and also fine for a group ordering a variety of dishes to share.

What I ordered

This time I ordered jjajangmyeon, fried rice, fried dumplings, and condensed milk flower bread. Adding a side and dessert to the two main dishes meant I got to enjoy a good range of flavors.

Jjajangmyeon

You can't skip jjajangmyeon at a Chinese restaurant, right?

The glossy black bean sauce coated the noodles generously and looked appetizing. The noodles held their bounce without going soft, and the savory, faintly sweet flavor of the chunjang (black bean paste) came through nicely and made it easy to enjoy.

Mixing the sauce and noodles thoroughly brought out that deep, rich jjajang flavor — a solid, no-frills bowl that was satisfying to finish.

Fried rice

The fried rice had a good texture, fried until the grains were light and separate.

The rice grains weren't clumpy and were fried well, making it clean and light to eat, and adding a bit of jjajang sauce brought extra savory depth for a different flavor altogether.

Ordering both jjajangmyeon and fried rice together made it fun to compare the different textures and flavors.

Fried dumplings

The fried dumplings ordered as a side went really well with the meal.

The golden-fried dumpling skin had a lively crunch, and the filling inside was moist, making them good to pick up one at a time. Adding crispy dumplings while eating jjajangmyeon or fried rice was also a nice way to switch things up.

Condensed milk flower bread

At the end of the meal, I ordered condensed milk flower bread. Dipping the flower-shaped fried bread into sweet condensed milk made it feel like a proper dessert after the meal.

The outside was slightly crisp while the inside stayed fluffy, and with the sweet condensed milk added, it's a flavor that kids and adults alike would enjoy. It was a great way to end a filling Chinese meal on a sweet note.

This time I ordered jjajangmyeon and fried rice along with fried dumplings and condensed milk flower bread, enjoying everything from the main meal to dessert. With such a wide range of menu choices, it's also great for groups who each want to order something different and share.

Above all, the clean and comfortable interior made it a pleasant place to eat, and being open 24 hours felt like a big advantage.
