Returning after two months, the writer ordered the medium stone-plate jajangmyeon plus donchitang set for 41,000 won at spice level 1 and added both a whole squid (5,000 won) and a whole octopus (5,000 won). The best moment at Dolpanseok came at the end, scraping the crisped jajang nurungji off the bottom of the hot stone plate. ## Good to know - **Address**: 8-38 Dolgotgi-gil, 1st Floor, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do (lot address: Seopae-dong 342-1) - **Hours**: Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri 11:00–21:00 / Sat, Sun 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: Sat, Sun 16:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 20:00 - **Closed**: Every Tuesday - **Parking**: Parking spaces in front of the restaurant - **What was ordered**: Medium stone-plate jajangmyeon + donchitang set, 41,000 won (spice level 1) - **Add-ons**: One whole squid 5,000 won, one whole octopus 5,000 won - **Self-serve corner**: Unlimited rice refills, extra side dishes including pa-kimchi (green onion kimchi) - **Price reference**: ₩41,000 ≈ $30.5 · ₩5,000 ≈ $3.7 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* Looking for good jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) in Paju? 👀 I'd visited Dolpanseok Jjamppong Paju Simhaksan Branch before and had the nurungji stone-plate jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup), which was so good I came back again this time 😊 ![Signature stone-plate jajangmyeon at Dolpanseok Jjamppong Paju Simhaksan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-01-6rqnh-1200.webp) Last time I had jjamppong, so this time I ordered the stone-plate jajangmyeon instead — and spoiler alert, it was also delicious!! haha The nurungji (crispy scorched rice) I ate at the end was truly a work of art 🤎 ## Where is Dolpanseok Jjamppong Paju Simhaksan Branch, and what are its hours? ![Exterior of Dolpanseok on Dolgotgi-gil in Paju](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-02-1vq37-966.webp) 📍 Road address: 8-38 Dolgotgi-gil, 1st Floor, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do 📍 Jibun address: Seopae-dong 342-1, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do Dolpanseok is near Simhaksan mountain in Dongpae-dong and the Lotte Premium Outlets ⏰ Hours Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri 11:00 ~ 21:00 Sat, Sun 11:00 ~ 21:00 Sat, Sun break time 16:00 ~ 17:00 Last order 20:00 ❌ Closed every Tuesday 🚗 Parking available There's parking space right in front of the restaurant, so it was convenient to visit by car too ![Parking space in front of Dolpanseok](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-03-ov21c-966.webp) ![View near the entrance of Dolpanseok](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-04-1wlnl-966.webp) Since I visited not long after it opened, maybe that's why the interior still looked just as clean this time ![Clean interior of Dolpanseok](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-05-ijydz-966.webp) ![Spaced-out table seating at Dolpanseok](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-06-1d7bg-966.webp) The tables have decent spacing and there are baby chairs ready, so it looked like a good place for family meals too 😊 ## Unlimited rice refills at the Dolpanseok self-serve corner ![Self-serve corner with unlimited rice refills](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-07-16pnp-966.webp) The self-serve corner has bowls of rice and extra side dishes ready to grab as needed. Since the rice is unlimited, it's great for anyone who wants rice on top of their jajangmyeon or jjamppong ![Pa-kimchi and side dishes from the self-serve corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-08-5739p-966.webp) They had my favorite pa-kimchi too, so I loaded up again this time haha ## New menu items at Dolpanseok Jjamppong ![Sign for new menu items: samgye seafood nurungji-tang and cold jjamppong](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-09-1j9t0-966.webp) Coming back after two months, I noticed some menu changes 👀 samgye seafood nurungji-tang (ginseng chicken and seafood scorched-rice soup), cold jjamppong (summer only) Looking at the kiosk, there were new items alongside the old ones, so it was fun to compare with my last visit — chili pesto stone-plate jajangmyeon, nurungji stone-plate white jjamppong ![Kiosk menu screen at Dolpanseok](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-10-61xke-966.webp) But our mission that day was Paju stone-plate jajangmyeon! This time we ordered the medium stone-plate jajangmyeon + donchitang set, priced at ₩41,000 ![Order screen for the medium stone-plate jajangmyeon and donchitang set](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-11-k2t0t-966.webp) ![Spice level and seafood add-on selection screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-12-1n8x3-966.webp) We picked spice level 1, the mild option, and also added one whole squid for ₩5,000 and one whole octopus for ₩5,000 ## Is adding whole squid and octopus worth 5,000 won each? ![Stone-plate jajangmyeon with added whole squid and octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-13-d2x3c-966.webp) A little while later, the Paju stone-plate jajangmyeon arrived bubbling away on the hot stone plate 🔥 With both whole squid and octopus added, it looked incredibly hearty right from the first glance, right? The squid and octopus were cut into bite-sized pieces and mixed evenly with the noodles. As the jajang sauce kept bubbling on the hot stone, it soaked deeply into the noodles and seafood — and the smell alone was amazing ## Stone-plate jjamppong vs. stone-plate jajangmyeon ![A plate of jajangmyeon mixed with noodles and seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-14-rxc3i-966.webp) One bite in and I thought, oh, the jajangmyeon here is good too? haha The sauce was rich with deep savory flavor, and with all that seafood packed in, eating it together with the noodles was a real treat ![Mild spice level 1 jajangmyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-15-1xs6y-966.webp) Ordering at level 1 meant it wasn't spicy, so it was also a great way to enjoy the true flavor of jajangmyeon. The nurungji stone-plate jjamppong I had last time was delicious, but the stone-plate jajangmyeon was truly excellent too!! 👍 ## Donchitang: fried chicken and sweet-and-sour pork in one dish ![Donchitang plate served with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-16-t2mna-966.webp) The donchitang (chicken and pork combo) that came with the set was also quite generous in portion ![Sauce-coated chicken in the donchitang](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-17-sxgah-966.webp) ![Round fried pork pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-18-1dlk1-966.webp) One side is chicken coated in a sweet sauce like chicken gangjeong, and the other is round fried pork bites, similar to tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) ![Tangsuyuk sauce served with the donchitang](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-19-1tanl-966.webp) The fried pork went really well dipped into the sweet-and-tangy tangsuyuk sauce served alongside ![Fried pork dipped in tangsuyuk sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-20-1uh4r-966.webp) Being able to switch between chicken and tangsuyuk-style pork on one plate made it a great pairing alongside the stone-plate jajangmyeon 😊 ## The jajang nurungji scraped off the stone plate at the end 🤎 ![Jajang-soaked rice left on the bottom of the stone plate after the noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-21-14zt8-966.webp) And you can't just stop after finishing the noodles with Paju stone-plate jajangmyeon haha. Once you've eaten a good amount, the rice underneath the noodles on the stone plate has soaked up the jajang sauce and properly crisped up ![Thick jajang nurungji scraped up with a spoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-22-ihe5m-966.webp) Scrape the bottom with a spoon and out comes thick, chewy jajang nurungji — this was genuinely the best part for me It's nutty and deeply soaked in jajang sauce, so I kept scraping all the way to the bottom 😂 ![Empty stone plate and plum ade after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set/paju-simhaksan-doljjajang-squid-octopus-set-23-o6yql-966.webp) Coming back to Dolpanseok after two months and trying the stone-plate jajangmyeon this time, I really felt it was worth the return trip. I also had the plum ade — it's genuinely delicious!!
