Sinbang-dong, Cheonan jjamppong parents wanted to take home: Bultina

In short

Bultina Kkomak Jjamppong Sinbang Branch is a Chinese restaurant specializing in cockle jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) on Seobu-daero in Cheonan's Dongnam-gu. Arriving just after lunchtime, the writer ordered jjamppong, jjajangmyeon and a small sweet-sour pork, which was more than enough for two, and the rich broth full of cockles and seafood was the highlight. The writer's parents liked Bultina enough to ask for takeout, so first-timers should start with the jjamppong.

I visited Bultina Kkomak Jjamppong Sinbang Branch because I wanted Chinese food for lunch in Sinbang-dong. The reviews looked amazing!!?!? There's a nice wide parking lot so you don't need to stress about where to park — honestly, figuring out parking is always so stressful haha. On your way out, just mention parking at the counter and they'll give you 2 hours free, so make sure to ask.

Since I went straight from the parking lot, I came in through the back door. Just walk into the building right in front of you as you exit the lot.

The inside of Bultina Kkomak Jjamppong Sinbang Branch felt pretty spacious too. It looks fine for group visits. Since the name includes 'kkomak jjamppong' (cockle jjamppong), it seemed like the signature dish, but I didn't want to miss out, so I ordered jjajangmyeon and sweet-sour pork alongside it too!

How does the cockle jjamppong taste?

The food came out faster than expected. Everything looked so good I got excited haha. Even though I went a bit after lunchtime, quite a lot of people were still coming in.

Wow... one bite and I immediately understood why it's a jjamppong place. Seriously so delicious!!!!!! There were plump cockles and seafood inside too. Most of all, the broth was so~~~ rich that I loved it. It felt so good to finally find a real Chinese restaurant worth the hype >_< The noodles were nice and chewy too. After eating this, I bet jjamppong-bap (jjamppong over rice) would be amazing too... I've actually never tried it, but with a broth this good, it can't possibly be bad.

Is the jjajangmyeon worth adding to the order?

The jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) had a different sweet, savory flavor from the jjamppong, so I was glad we ordered both. Switching between jjamppong and jjajangmyeon kept things from getting monotonous — I just kept eating! The portion was pretty big too.

How big is the small sweet-sour pork portion?

We couldn't skip the sweet-sour pork, and I'm glad we went with the small size... between the three dishes for two people, it was so much we nearly burst ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even the small size had a decent amount. The sweet-sour pork was completely crispy, and the meat inside was tender, not chewy at all. There was plenty of sauce pooled at the bottom, so dipping it in was really delicious haha.

Final verdict and the dish to order at Bultina

Personally, the jjamppong was the most delicious thing at Bultina Kkomak Jjamppong Sinbang Branch. If it's your first visit, I highly recommend the jjamppong. My parents said it was so good they wanted to get it packed to take home!!!!!! That's how good it was~~ It's a place I found in Cheonan that I really hope you get to try.
