With omija, plum, iced tea, and lemonade all available, it was nice to have something cool to drink after the spicy jjamppong. ![Drink vending machine and coffee corner inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-06-1nj92-900.webp) ![Amenity corner with hair ties and candy](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-07-1b61b-900.webp) I could also feel the owner's thoughtful attention to detail, with hair ties and candy not overlooked. The self-serve bar had bean sprouts, cheongyang chili, kimchi, and even rice, so adding rice to your jjamppong is definitely an option! ## Jjambbong Jijon menu: tablet ordering and many kinds of jjamppong ![Table tablet screen showing the Jjambbong Jijon menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-08-gacv3-900.webp) ![Menu screen listing types of jjamppong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-09-kfjbz-900.webp) ![Sujebi jjamppong and rice noodle jjamppong on the menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-10-1q2ug-900.webp) ![Tablet menu showing side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-11-vx2nn-900.webp) ![Tablet menu showing rice dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-12-1097h-900.webp) I could easily check the menu and order via the tablet on the table. Just for jjamppong there were so many types — basic jjamppong, sujebi (hand-torn dough) jjamppong, rice noodle jjamppong, sundubu jjamppong — that I spent quite a while deciding! 😆 This time I wanted to try a bunch of dishes together, so I ordered generously: sundubu jjamppong noodles, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and fried dumplings 😋 ## The four dishes we ordered at Jjambbong Jijon ![Full spread with sundubu jjamppong noodles, jijon sweet and sour pork, shrimp fried rice, and fried jjamppong dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-13-1ddnc-1200.webp) We ordered sundubu jjamppong noodles, jijon sweet and sour pork, shrimp fried rice, and fried jjamppong dumplings! I thought this place specialized purely in jjamppong, but with a wide range of side dishes and rice dishes too, it was great for a group to share a variety of things. ![A bowl of red-broth sundubu jjamppong noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-14-4p5kg-900.webp) ### Loaded with soft tofu: the spicy jjamppong noodles The dish I was most looking forward to at Jjambbong Jijon Bucheon Jung-dong Branch was the sundubu jjamppong noodles. Even from the photo you can tell the red broth is the real deal, and inside there was a really generous amount of soft tofu. ![Noodles lifted from the sundubu jjamppong bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-15-crbcd-900.webp) When you lift the noodles, the jjamppong broth clings to them nicely, and scooping up soft tofu along the way added a savory, soft texture in between mouthfuls of spicy broth — the combination was great, haha. ![Soft tofu scooped up from the jjamppong broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-16-12awz-900.webp) ![Close-up of the spicy sundubu jjamppong noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-17-tp7yx-900.webp) Apparently the chili powder used in the jjamppong is 100% domestic sun-dried chili powder! As someone who loves spicy jjamppong, it was impressive to see that much attention paid to the ingredients too. It has its own charm that's different from regular jjamppong, so if you usually enjoy sundubu jjigae or spicy soups, this one would suit you especially well. ![Shrimp fried rice with jjajang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-18-1rjp1-900.webp) ### Fluffy shrimp fried rice with jjajang sauce I also ordered fried rice, which goes well with jjamppong! The rice comes out fried until fluffy, and it's served with a generous helping of rich jjajang sauce on the side. ![Fluffy fried shrimp rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-19-1460r-900.webp) ![Mixing jjajang sauce into the fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-20-fp9qs-900.webp) At first I tried the fried rice on its own, then mixed in a little of the jjajang sauce — it was nice to be able to enjoy it two different ways. Taking a bite of the spicy jjamppong broth and then eating the fried rice mellowed the spiciness and added even more savory depth — a great combination. ![Jijon sweet and sour pork piled with onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-21-r8u1x-900.webp) ### Jijon sweet and sour pork: crunchy outside, chewy inside If you came for Chinese food, sweet and sour pork can't be skipped 😆 It came piled high with onions on top of the big chunks of pork, looking really generous. Inside the batter was a thick piece of meat, crispy on the outside and moist inside! There was even fried sweet potato alongside it, which was a fun surprise, haha. ![Cross-section of crispy sweet and sour pork with fried sweet potato](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-22-1xjiv-900.webp) Unlike the glutinous rice style, this had that old-school crispy texture, which made it even more delicious to me. ![Golden brown fried jjamppong dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-23-7gra2-900.webp) ### Jjamppong fried dumplings: spicy and crisp The fried dumplings came out golden brown too. It was my first time trying fried jjamppong dumplings — crispy outside, and inside packed with juicy, spicy filling. Really delicious. ![Cross-section of a fried jjamppong dumpling showing juicy filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles/bucheon-jjamppong-jijon-sundubu-noodles-24-1oxtn-900.webp) The flavor of chili oil combined with the juicy meat made these more delicious than regular fried dumplings. I'd definitely recommend trying them!! ## Is Jjambbong Jijon worth it for jjamppong near Bucheon City Hall?
