After a walk, a family ordered kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) and gyeranmari (rolled omelette) at Yangpuni and found thick cuts of fresh pork, market-style tofu and self-bar soybeans, and when they added ramyeon sari (instant noodles) a staff member poured in extra broth so the stew would not turn salty and switched off the burner at the chewy moment. The sharp aged-kimchi broth at Yangpuni was worth two bowls of rice. ## Good to know - **Location**: 36-13 Dongtanbansong 3-gil, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, 1st floor (near Central Park) - **Parking**: About 3 cars in front of the restaurant - **What we ordered**: Kimchi jjigae, gyeranmari (rolled omelette), ramyeon sari, extra rice - **Basic side dishes**: Seaweed flakes, soy-braised black beans, dried radish with seasoned salted squid - **Self-bar**: Refills of side dishes, plus bean sprouts for samgyeopsal diners - **Facilities**: Restroom inside the restaurant *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* The weather's been so nice lately that we ended up walking around Central Park and having a family meal of Yangpuni kimchi jjigae!! It was genuinely such a delicious kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew)! Let me post about it right away! ![Exterior of Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal in Bansong-dong, Dongtan](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-01-8szxx-1200.webp) ## Where is Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal in Bansong-dong, Dongtan, and is there parking? Here's the exterior of Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal! There was parking for about 3 cars in front of the restaurant! ![Front of the building showing parking space](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-02-nhxph-900.webp) Kim. Chi. Jji. Gae. Spot. It's the kind of sign that's so straightforward it makes you expect great things haha (maybe that's why it's even more appealing..) a sign that makes you want to walk right in ![Sign reading 'kimchi jjigae restaurant'](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-03-wwp17-900.webp) ![Clean restaurant interior with table seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-04-1kwmh-900.webp) ## Inside Yangpuni: seating and where the meat comes from The interior was really clean! Every time I passed by, it was always packed, but since we came relatively early, we got lucky and could eat while it was still quiet! (though by the time we were less than halfway done, it was already full..) I personally love it when a restaurant has its own restroom inside, and this one does! Here's the country-of-origin display at Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal! ![Country-of-origin display posted in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-05-44vr5-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Yangpuni: kimchi jjigae and gyeranmari We ordered kimchi jjigae and egg roll, but the samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly) looked so good too?! My husband, who insists that if a kimchi jjigae place also sells meat, that says everything about the quality of the jjigae, was already planning to try the samgyeopsal next time! ![Menu board listing kimchi jjigae and samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-06-11p45-900.webp) ### Basic side dishes and the self-bar at Yangpuni The side dishes were relatively simple! There was seasoned seaweed flakes that go well with kimchi jjigae, soybean side dish, and dried radish mixed with squid jeotgal (salted squid)! ![Basic side dish spread with seaweed flakes and soybean side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-07-1uk5e-900.webp) At the self-bar, there were several more side dishes to add! ![Self-bar with extra side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-08-mkchx-900.webp) This soybean side dish was genuinely amazing,, (I went back for more several times!) ![Soybean side dish scooped from the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-09-1dhyb-900.webp) There were also bean sprouts (?) for samgyeopsal guests! ![Self-bar with bean sprouts for samgyeopsal guests](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-10-l6ky4-900.webp) ## How does the gyeranmari taste? Finally, the visual of the kimchi jjigae and egg roll,, no Korean could resist this! Just these two menu items alone felt like a full meal ![Table set with kimchi jjigae and egg roll together](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-11-wm6s3-900.webp) Two casually squeezed lines of ketchup on the sides — the egg roll looked so fluffy that I was already drooling before even eating it.. ![Egg roll drizzled with two lines of ketchup](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-12-1jamw-900.webp) That deadly side profile of the egg roll ㅠㅠ,, I personally don't love fancy, flashy egg rolls (with carrots, onions, etc.) but this was completely my style ![Side view of the thick egg roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-13-e8why-900.webp) Seriously so good.. I felt like I could finish a whole bowl of rice with this alone ![A piece of egg roll picked up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-14-krc38-900.webp) ## How thick is the pork in Yangpuni's kimchi jjigae, and how is the broth? Wait, can you actually see how thick the pork in the kimchi jjigae is? Insane,, I guess it's just the rule that a great kimchi jjigae place also sells meat ![Thick pork pieces inside the kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-15-1sq3o-900.webp) The combination of fat and lean meat is absolutely amazing..! Ah,, I want to eat it again ㅠ ![A piece of pork with fat and lean meat attached](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-16-k7ib9-900.webp) The broth was also spicy and tangy and so delicious! I personally love aged-kimchi jjigae, and this broth was just the right amount of sour to whet the appetite ![Spicy aged-kimchi jjigae broth bubbling](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-17-16ngz-900.webp) The tofu was also completely thick and chunky, exactly the market-tofu style I love,,ㅠㅠ there was so much of it that you didn't even need to add more!! ![Kimchi jjigae with thick-cut tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-18-qdmyf-900.webp) We scooped up another round of that salty, perfectly seasoned, rice-thief soybean side dish to eat alongside ![Another scoop of soybean side dish with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-19-1cpks-900.webp) My husband, who found the broth so delicious he'd already mixed a bowl of rice into it and finished it, ordering another bowl of rice ![Bowl of rice mixed into the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-20-vjzs2-900.webp) This time he sprinkles on seasoned seaweed flakes too (the rule) ![Rice mixed with sprinkled seaweed flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-21-y1ynl-900.webp) ㅠㅠ ah, this is really something you have to taste to understand!! ![A spoonful of kimchi jjigae lifted from the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-22-18sr7-900.webp) ## Ordering ramyeon sari: the staff member who poured in extra broth You know it's practically a crime not to order ramyeon sari (instant noodle add-in) with kimchi jjigae, right? ![Ramyeon sari added into the kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-23-3yq1k-900.webp) The staff were really kind too — when we ordered the ramyeon sari, they said the broth might get too salty if we just added the noodles as they were, so they poured in extra broth for us on their own (so sweet) ![Kimchi jjigae with noodles cooked to a chewy texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth-24-80o2r-900.webp) The thoughtfulness of turning off the heat right when the noodles were cooked to a perfectly chewy texture — this was genuinely one of the most delicious Korean meals I've had recently. These days, as I've gotten older, overeating makes digestion tough, but this place actually made me finish two bowls of rice..? With the weather so nice lately, if you're taking a family walk around Central Park and craving something light and Korean, this is a restaurant I really recommend..! ## Where it is - Yangpuni Kimchi Jjigae & Samgyeopsal (양푼이김치찌개&삼겹살) - 36-13 Dongtanbansong 3-gil, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 화성시 동탄구 동탄반송3길 36-13 1층 양푼이김치찌개&삼겹살 - 37.2094205, 127.0667603 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%96%91%ED%91%BC%EC%9D%B4%EA%B9%80%EC%B9%98%EC%B0%8C%EA%B0%9C%26%EC%82%BC%EA%B2%B9%EC%82%B4/@37.2094205,127.0667603,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@lunchroom-record/dongtan-bansong-kimchi-jjigae-ramen-broth/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
