Storefront and parking at Bultina Kkomak Jjamppong

We came here for lunch with friends at Bultina Kkomak Jjamppong Sinbang Branch. Just from the name you can already tell it's a jjamppong spot!!!

We drove, so it was great that the parking lot was spacious! It's the building's own lot, so make sure to register your parking on your way out!

Inside Bultina: roomy, comfortable, and aprons are a must

Once we went inside, the interior was really spacious and comfortable! No worries about visiting with family or friends. It was bigger than expected and felt neatly organized 🙃

Jjamppong splatters, so aprons are a must here.

This is the self-service corner. It had pickled radish and onions! Also, here's how to enjoy Bultina's cockle jjamppong best: after finishing the noodles, be sure to add rice to the broth!

Bultina Kkomak Jjamppong cooks with fresh ingredients delivered daily and uses them the same day only — once the day's prepared ingredients run out, they close for the day. Noodles are made fresh right when you order. No reused ingredients!

What we ordered at Bultina, prices and spice level 1

We ordered cockle jjamppong for 11,000 won, cockle jjamppong rice for 11,000 won, jumbo jjajangmyeon for 9,000 won, and small sweet-and-sour pork for 17,000 won. You can also choose the jjamppong's spice level, and we went with level 1, the 'delicious spicy' option!

👏🏻👏🏻 Our order came out super fast! First up, the jumbo jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles). It's topped with a glossy, shiny jjajang sauce.

Jjajangmyeon, large portion — 9,000 won

We mixed it well so the sauce coats the noodles. This place is famous for jjamppong, but you can't skip the jjajangmyeon either.

Look at that shine, ㅠㅠㅠㅠ. This isn't just an in-your-face sweet jjajangmyeon. The sauce's umami kept calling my chopsticks back. We thought the jumbo size would be too much, but we finished almost all of it, haha.

Cockle jjamppong and cockle jjamppong rice — 11,000 won each

Here's the jjamppong and jjamppong rice, both at spice level 1. And there was a bit of noodle in the jjamppong rice too??? 🙃 The chewy noodles soaked up the rich broth, perfect for slurping!

The cockles popped up here and there for a chewy texture and refreshing seafood flavor! This was my first time trying cockle jjamppong, and it felt fresh and new.

This is the jjamppong rice. They put the rice in first and mixed it right in!!! It's a good pick when you want something more filling than noodles! Scoop a spoonful of rice with a cockle from the spicy broth for a totally different flavor from the noodles!

If you love noodles, go for cockle jjamppong 🍜 — if you want a filling meal, go for the jjamppong rice 🍚

Sweet-and-sour pork, small — 17,000 won

Here's the small sweet-and-sour pork. It'd be a shame to only have jjamppong and jjajangmyeon, right~ crispy sweet-and-sour pork is a must too 🫢 That crunchy look is already delicious.

The batter wasn't too thick, so the meat's texture really came through, and it was so crispy and tasty. The sauce is the classic sweet-and-sour kind! A bite of spicy jjamppong followed by a bite of sweet pork is the perfect combo!! I couldn't stop reaching for more...
