# Chinese restaurant in Cheomdan, Gwangju with half yusanseul: Mayway - By Sodam (https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-cotton-pouch/) - Written Sep 15, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Gwangsan, Gwangju - Sponsored: This post was written as a sponsored visit to the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-cotton-pouch/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gwangju-cotton-pouch/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/index.md) ## In short Mayway is a Chinese restaurant on the roadside near Cheomdan Lotte Mart in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju. At Mayway the writer ordered ganjjajang (stir-fried black bean noodles), a 1-person set of jjajang, jjamppong and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork), fried rice and a half portion of yusanseul (stir-fried seafood and vegetables in thick sauce), and found the noodles thin and lightly seasoned and the tangsuyuk pork thick-cut. With a green onion kimchi self-serve bar and about four parking spots behind the building, Mayway is an easy, no-fuss pick for Chinese food in Cheomdan. ## Good to know - **Name**: Mayway Gwangju Cheomdan - **Address**: 6 Cheomdangangbyeon-ro 87beon-gil, Unit 102, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-22:00 (break 15:00-17:00, last order 21:30) - **Parking**: About 4 spots behind the restaurant, plus alley parking - **Ordering**: QR code ordering at the table - **Event**: Order 2 draft beers and get tangsuyuk for 1,000 won - **Payment**: Gwangju Sangsaeng Card accepted - **Dishes ordered**: Ganjjajang, 1-person set (jjajang + jjamppong + tangsuyuk), fried rice, yusanseul (half) - **Price reference**: ₩1,000 ≈ $0.7 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* ## Where is Mayway Cheomdan and how do you get there? Mayway Cheomdan is a Chinese restaurant on a roadside near Cheomdan Lotte Mart in Gwangju. I was trying to figure out what to eat for lunch in Cheomdan and suddenly craved Chinese food after a while, so I went — and since it's right on the road, it wasn't hard to find at all. ![Exterior of Mayway Cheomdan on the roadside](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-01-1pb8b-966.webp) They're running an event where if you order 2 glasses of cold draft beer, you get tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) for just ₩1,000. If we'd been drinking that day it would've been perfect — a bit of a shame we missed it. ![Sign for the tangsuyuk-for-1,000-won event with 2 draft beers](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-02-1en32-966.webp) ## Parking behind Mayway, the room, and the best time to visit There were about 4 parking spots behind the store, and even if those were full, alley parking was possible, so it was fine to visit by car. The place felt clean and tidy, and we went before closing time. I figured lunchtime would be crowded, so we came in the evening instead, and it was nice and relaxed. ![Tidy interior of Mayway Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-03-jly5i-966.webp) ## Mayway's menu and the 1-person set At Mayway Gwangju Cheomdan, you order via the QR code attached to each table. ![Mayway menu viewed through the table QR code](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-04-14q5g-966.webp) ![List of meal menu items at Mayway Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-05-1ihoe-966.webp) ![List of dish menu items at Mayway Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-06-1keww-966.webp) What I especially liked was that they have a 1-person set menu. Even solo diners can get jjajang or jjamppong together with tangsuyuk, which seems great for eating alone. ![Mayway menu screen showing the 1-person set option](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-07-4x2re-966.webp) ## Free sweet potato fritters and the green onion kimchi self-serve bar They serve sweet potato fritters as a free side, and they were thin and crispy, which let the sweetness of the potato come through even more. ![Thin sweet potato fritters served as a free side](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-08-1b15x-966.webp) There's a self-serve bar for side dishes near the entrance, so you can just help yourself. Unusually, they had green onion kimchi there. Green onion kimchi with jjajangmyeon is such an insane combo, right? ![Green onion kimchi taken from the self-serve bar near the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-09-1xfcx-966.webp) ![Side dish self-serve bar at Mayway Cheomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-10-aqrj2-966.webp) ## How was Mayway's thin-noodle ganjjajang? Mayway Cheomdan's noodles are thinner than at most other Chinese restaurants. I actually found this thin noodle pretty delicious. It felt less heavy than thick noodles and didn't get as soggy, which I liked. The jjajangmyeon and ganjjajang didn't taste hugely different from each other, but both were tasty, so I was satisfied. Personally, I love a place where the basic menu items are just cleanly delicious, haha. ![A bowl of Mayway's thin-noodle ganjjajang](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-11-fp1n9-966.webp) ![Ganjjajang sauce and noodles before mixing](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-12-cns0j-966.webp) Eating well-mixed ganjjajang together with green onion kimchi is genuinely delicious. And the kimchi isn't spicy green onion either!!! ![Well-mixed ganjjajang served with green onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-13-7ejdf-966.webp) ## What comes in the jjajang, jjamppong and tangsuyuk 1-person set For the 1-person set, we ordered jjajang + jjamppong + tangsuyuk. ![The 1-person set with jjajang, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-14-ma6f5-966.webp) The ganjjajang and the 1-person set came out first, so we dug in before the noodles could get soggy. Even as a 1-person set, the noodle portion was pretty generous. The regular jjajangmyeon also had a well-defined chunjang (black bean paste) flavor, just like the ganjjajang, and was delicious. These days a lot of jjajangmyeon tastes overly sweet, so I liked that this one wasn't like that. And for jjamppong, they have a regular version and a spicy version — but even the regular jjamppong is really fiery. It was spicy for me since I'm bad with heat, but my boyfriend loved it, saying the spice level was just right for him. ## Mayway's thick-cut tangsuyuk was the most memorable dish And here's the tangsuyuk that I liked the most. The meat pieces were genuinely thick, with no gamey smell and a great texture. ![Mayway's tangsuyuk with thick pieces of meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-15-111aj-966.webp) The tangsuyuk was so much better than expected that I want to come back next time and order just tangsuyuk on its own, without anything else. ![A piece of tangsuyuk with sauce drizzled on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-16-n1k9e-966.webp) ![Tangsuyuk plate served alongside the 1-person set](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-17-141fx-966.webp) ## How big are the fried rice and half yusanseul portions? The fried rice came with jjajang sauce on the side. It was fluffy and mildly seasoned — the kind of tasty fried rice kids could eat too. ![Fluffy fried rice served with jjajang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-18-15zlw-966.webp) Lastly, we ordered a yusanseul (half) — stir-fried mixed meat and vegetables in white sauce — and the portion was substantial even for two people. ![Yusanseul half, generous enough for two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-19-1yrjv-966.webp) We were already quite full from the jjajang, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk, but the yusanseul was so good we kept eating. ![A ladleful of yusanseul packed with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-20-1ep47-966.webp) One thing I liked about Mayway — you can get a bowl of rice. My boyfriend grabbed some rice and made it into a yusanseul rice bowl, and he said it was delicious. Eating here, I was glad this Chinese restaurant wasn't overly salty. ![Yusanseul served over a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-21-1ljzc-966.webp) Rather than the intense flavors typical of Chinese food, the overall feel was clean and light. So it seems like a place you could visit for lunch without any guilt. ![A full spread of lightly seasoned Chinese dishes at Mayway](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-22-9z0dk-966.webp) ## Is Mayway worth a return trip for lunch in Cheomdan? They even gave us strawberry ice cream for dessert, so we finished the meal on a refreshing note. It's a good place to visit whenever you're craving Chinese food near Cheomdan Lotte Mart. If you're visiting alone, the 1-person set is also a plus since you can enjoy several dishes at once. ![Strawberry ice cream served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang/maywei-cheomdan-yusanseul-ganjjajang-23-10kd5-966.webp) The thick-cut tangsuyuk especially stuck with me, so I think I'll come back next time just for that.
