Three friends came for dinner and ordered the large stone-plate jajangmyeon plus dontichitang set at spice level 2, along with self-serve pa kimchi (green onion kimchi) and the after-meal dessert corner.

I'd heard about it from friends a lot and was curious — spoiler: the three of us cleaned our plates pretty thoroughly. ![Seating inside Dolpanseok Jjamppong Paju Simhaksan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-02-od77w-966.webp) ![Instructions on the table for how to best enjoy the stone-plate jjamppong and jajajang](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-03-1pmlb-966.webp) ## The small touches we noticed as soon as we sat down The moment we sat down we read through the instructions for how to best enjoy the stone-plate jjamppong and jajajang, and looking around the restaurant we could feel the owner's careful attention everywhere. First things first at a Chinese restaurant — will you survive wearing light-colored clothes?! There were aprons ready off to the side, so we could get set up for the meal with total peace of mind~ ![Aprons for dining set out on the side of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-04-1nj57-966.webp) ![Interior view of Dolpanseok Jjamppong](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-05-1hcb0-966.webp) ![Menu board at Dolpanseok Jjamppong Paju Simhaksan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-06-mcoph-966.webp) ![Menu listing stone-plate jajajang sizes and set menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-07-17t8a-m-966.webp) ![Menu board explaining set menu contents](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-08-11yxp-966.webp) ## Large stone-plate jajangmyeon + dontichitang set at spice level 2 You can order the stone-plate jjamppong and stone-plate jajajang as individual dishes in different sizes, or go for the set menu, which is ₩2,000 cheaper. We deliberated for ages between jajajang and jjamppong and ended up going with the large stone-plate jajajang + dontichitang SET! At Dolpanseok Jjamppong, a well-known spot near Simhaksan in Paju, you can pick your spice level — we went with level 2, a bit spicy~ ![Spice level selection guide and the table set after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-09-564ek-966.webp) ## Pa kimchi (green onion kimchi) at a Chinese restaurant? Before the food arrived we checked out the basic side dishes, and got an unexpected wow moment right there — pa kimchi (green onion kimchi)! ![Plate of pa kimchi served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-10-mi8sx-966.webp) ![Table setting with pa kimchi, danmuji, and other side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-11-1peow-966.webp) Wait, is pa kimchi allowed to be this good at a Chinese restaurant? Jabong, a self-proclaimed pa kimchi killer, was shocked, and Sooni and Toyam both said the kimchi was delicious about three times each..! I grabbed one bite and it was so good my chopsticks kept going back. Turns out you could get more pa kimchi from the self-serve bar without holding back. ![A plate of pa kimchi brought over from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-12-6clk9-966.webp) So of course we ended up going back for more. But politely, only as much as we could actually finish~~~~!! ![Self-serve corner with rice and side dishes ready](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-13-5r4fu-966.webp) ![Self-serve bar with danmuji, onion, and pa kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-14-1bjye-966.webp) The self-serve corner had rice, danmuji (pickled radish), onion, and pa kimchi all neatly and generously stocked. ## Stone-plate jajangmyeon, sizzling right on the stone And finally, the long-awaited stone-plate jajajang arrived! But this was not your usual jajangmyeon visual. It kept bubbling away, sizzling on the stone plate as it came out, with serious presence the moment it hit the table. This, I thought, is exactly why it's called stone-plate jajajang. ![Large stone-plate jajajang sizzling on the hot stone plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-15-uexdu-966.webp) We scooped some onto a plate, sprinkled on the red pepper flakes that came with it, and took a bite! Lifting up a big forkful of noodles, the jajajang sauce clung to them quite thickly. Since it stays hot on the stone the whole time, you also get to enjoy it warm for much longer, which I loved. ![Stone-plate jajajang noodles scooped onto a small plate and mixed](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-16-19xfz-966.webp) And scattered throughout, squid and shrimp! Plus a generous amount of quail eggs, so you can just keep picking without holding back haha. It's a bit different from the jajangmyeon you'd typically picture at a Chinese restaurant, so if you're after something a little different, this Paju Chinese restaurant near Simhaksan is worth a stop. ![Squid, shrimp, and quail eggs mixed into the jajajang](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-17-mdwhi-966.webp) ## What is dontichitang? Sweet crispy chicken plus pork cutlet sweet and sour pork Included in the set was dontichitang. Just from the name you might wonder what on earth it is....? Turns out it's a combo of sweet fried chicken and tonkatsu-style sweet and sour pork. ![Dontichitang made up of sweet fried chicken and tonkatsu-style sweet and sour pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-18-1fk3z-966.webp) ![Sweet and sour sauce with crispy fried pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-19-5rhng-966.webp) Dip the crispy fried pork deep into the sweet and sour sauce and it tastes different from the sweet and sour pork you know. Super crispy. The sweet fried chicken had a soft, sweet glaze, and eating it alongside the jajajang and dontichitang gave us such a variety of flavors that our mouths were in total bliss....!! ![Table spread with jajajang and dontichitang together](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-20-ln3dx-966.webp) One bite of jajajang, one bite of pa kimchi, some dontichitang, a quail egg from the jajajang, picking up squid and shrimp — by the time we'd done all that, my phone battery was running low, so I asked if I could charge it, and they thoughtfully lent me a portable battery like this. ## The dessert corner: yogurt, mix coffee and gangjeong on the way out I thought we were done once we were full, but there was a dessert corner ready and waiting! Oh my god... it's not over until you actually step out the door. ![Dessert corner with yogurt drinks and mix coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-21-1plpy-966.webp) ![Gangjeong laid out at the dessert corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-22-xa2rx-966.webp) Yogurt drinks, mix coffee, and even gangjeong (sweet rice snack) for a light bite~ How could you not eat this stuff if it's right there? Toyam said she was craving mix coffee for the first time in ages and hit the coffee button, Jabong picked the yogurt drink! Sooni found the dessert corner late after going to the restroom and her eyes went wide. There's a reason this place is a well-known spot near Simhaksan in Paju. Another round of admiration for the thoughtful touches~ ![Table shared by three friends with jajajang and dontichitang set](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-23-10f3w-1200.webp) ## Our verdict after sharing the set between three That day I went with Toyam and Sooni, the three of us sharing the stone-plate jajajang and dontichitang together, and sharing multiple items from the set menu was way more fun than just ordering one dish each. What stuck with me most was the stone-plate jajajang sizzling away and the sweet-and-salty pa.kim.chi!! If you're looking for a Chinese restaurant with a twist near Simhaksan, this one's worth keeping in mind. ![A note posted by the owner on the restaurant wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner/paju-simhaksan-stone-plate-jjajang-dinner-24-1cpxm-966.webp) *You could feel the owner's philosophy in it. Thanks to that, we ate with total peace of mind!* It's great for visiting with friends and ordering a few dishes to share, and with such a varied menu it wouldn't be a bad pick for a family meal in Paju or a date-night spot in Paju either.
