## In short

Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch is a Chinese restaurant near Omokgyo Station in Mokdong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, open 24 hours every day except Monday night. On a late-night visit for two, the order was cuttlefish jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) with a whole cuttlefish in the bowl, mini tangsuyuk (sweet and sour fried pork) that was crisp outside and tender inside, and zero-sugar cola, with the table kiosk handling water, aprons, wet wipes and takeout packaging without calling a server. Yugwanjang Banjeom is worth remembering when you want hot, spicy Chinese food in Mokdong after midnight.

I'm a business blogger with 11 years as an IT developer, now running my own brand manufacturing and membership shopping mall distribution business — out working hard every day.

Late in the evening, after work or after wrapping up the day's tasks, there are days when I suddenly crave something spicy and rich — Chinese food. But it's often hard to find a Chinese restaurant open late into the night, so I've swallowed that disappointment more than once.

Today I want to introduce a gem of a Mokdong restaurant that my friend and I discovered on a recent evening — a Chinese restaurant open a whopping 24 hours a day, ready to welcome you anytime: Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch!

## Where is Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch, and is it really open 24 hours?

Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch is on the 2nd floor of 256 Mokdongdong-ro, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. From Tuesday to Sunday it's open 24 hours, and only Monday drops the overnight hours, running 00:00–21:00.

- Tuesday–Sunday: open 24 hours (may be listed on Naver as 10:30–24:00 etc.)
- Monday: 00:00–21:00 (no overnight hours)

💡 Quick tip before you go: portal site listings show hours like Tue–Sun 10:30–24:00 and Mon 00:00–21:00, which can be confusing! It's actually open 24 hours except for Monday night, but just in case of any changes, I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm before visiting, like I did.

## The storefront and the second-floor dining room

At Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch, the flow from the sign at the stairway entrance all the way to the door is laid out very intuitively. You might assume a Chinese restaurant open late into the night would be greasy or chaotic.

![Interior of the restaurant with widely spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night-08-1yjvk-966.webp)

But stepping inside, the tables were spaced comfortably, and both the floor and the tables were sparkling clean. Even by my picky standards as an IT developer who's also strict about food distribution, I'd give this place a passing grade for cleanliness! 👍

## Side dishes and the self-bar

Once you sit down, the crunchy pickled radish and salty, crunchy jjazai (pickled radish/Chinese preserved vegetable) that no Chinese meal is complete without are served as basics.

![Self-bar for side dishes set up on one side of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night-11-1p54f-966.webp)

There's a self-bar off to one side of the restaurant, kept meticulously clean, so you can easily grab more pickled radish or side dishes if you run low mid-meal — I liked that layout.

## Ordering water, aprons and takeout packaging from the table kiosk

What genuinely impressed me at Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch was the kiosk installed at each table. Beyond ordering menu items, the last tab has a customized request menu just for guests.

- Kiosk request options: staff call, water, apron, wet wipes, leftover food packaging

For introverted, I-type people like me, calling out loudly to a busy staff member mid-meal can feel oddly uncomfortable. Here, a single tap on the kiosk lets you handle everything from wet wipes to an apron to packaging requests cleanly, with zero communication errors — the user experience (UX) was excellent!

## A late-night order for two: cuttlefish jjampong, mini tangsuyuk and zero cola

![Table spread for two with squid jjampong and mini tangsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night-12-1n0af-966.webp)

My friend and I wanted a late dinner that felt satisfying but not overdone, so we ordered squid jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) + mini tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) + zero-sugar cola. The portion and combination were exactly right for two people sharing a late-night meal.

### Cuttlefish jjampong: a whole cuttlefish covering the bowl

![Squid jjampong topped with a whole squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night-14-uelca-966.webp)

![Close-up of the squid jjampong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night-15-1bjbu-966.webp)

The moment the food arrived, my friend and I both stared wide-eyed! It's simply not comparable to the small, scattered seafood you usually see in jjampong at other Chinese restaurants.

![Thick whole squid lifted with tongs](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night-16-li3l4-966.webp)

Right in the center of the jjampong bowl sat one huge, thick whole squid! I could feel the weight in my fingertips as I lifted it with the tongs. Cutting it up with kitchen scissors and eating it with the broth, the squid had a springy, tender texture with zero toughness, filling my mouth with its natural flavor.

The deep, spicy jjampong broth, infused with smoky wok-hei, had the sweet umami of seafood melted into it — the kind of flavor that instantly melts away late-night fatigue.

### Mini tangsuyuk: textbook crispy sweet and sour pork

![A plate of mini-sized tangsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night-17-1es81-966.webp)

![Mini tangsuyuk with a clean, crisp batter coating](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night-18-1ikm8-966.webp)

Even though it was the mini size, the portion was quite generous for two people to share as a side.

![Tangsuyuk with sweet and sour sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night-19-t67n8-966.webp)

Fried in clean oil, the batter had a very clean color, and the texture of the fry was so good you could practically hear a crisp 'crunch!' the moment you bit in. The outside boasted maximum crispiness while the inside held thick, juicy pork tightly — dunking it into the sweet and sour sauce doubled the joy of a late-night meal.

We ate happily, and before we knew it, the food had disappeared... what a miracle!

## What the Naver receipt review event gets you

![Information on the Naver receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night/yugwanjang-omokgyo-kiosk-late-night-22-vku8g-966.webp)

One more solid perk to grab while you're there! Writing a Naver receipt review gets you 2 fried dumplings or 1 free drink.

While you eat, upload a photo verifying your receipt and you can get crispy-outside-juicy-inside fried dumplings or a soda on the house, so don't forget to take part and grab the freebie.

## Verdict: late-night Chinese food in Mokdong, Seoul

Just being a 24-hour restaurant you can comfortably head to any time you're desperate for good Chinese food late at night or in the early hours is already a huge advantage. On top of that, it delivers the visual shock of an overwhelmingly large whole squid jjampong, crispy tangsuyuk, and a thoughtfully designed kiosk request system — a real three-for-one.

If you're looking for a hearty, delicious late-night meal near Mokdong or Omokgyo, be sure to remember this standout Mokdong Chinese restaurant, Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch! 👍
