I tried jjajangmyeon, eggplant rice bowl, and seafood jjamppong; the tender eggplant rice bowl stood out, though it was a little spicy for me. ## Good to know - **Restaurant**: Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch - **Address**: 256 Mokdongdong-ro, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 양천구 목동동로 256 2층) - **Location**: In front of Omokgyo Station, across from Hyundai Department Store - **Seating**: Group seating in room-style spaces - **Ordering**: Order using the tablets provided at each table - **Dishes tried**: Jjajangmyeon, eggplant rice bowl, and seafood jjamppong *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ## Where is the restaurant near Omokgyo Station?

I had been looking for a Chinese restaurant near Omokgyo Station where I could comfortably go with children, and the clean interior caught my eye first. When I visited, the restaurant felt pleasant and comfortable inside. ![Interior of Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-03-2nj25-900.webp) ![Clean interior of Yugwanjang Banjeom near Omokgyo Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-04-6j9f5-900.webp) ![Interior space at Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-05-18pcc-900.webp) ![Interior space at Yugwanjang Banjeom near Omokgyo Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-06-hxtb4-900.webp) ![Interior design at Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-07-1a56p-900.webp) Green trees were visible through the second-floor windows, so the space did not feel closed in. The open view also put me in a good mood while I was eating. ![Trees visible through Yugwanjang Banjeom's second-floor window](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-08-svn01-900.webp) There were also group seats arranged in room-style spaces. I thought it would be a good place to come later with other parents from my children's school and have a meal while talking together. ![Room-style group seating at Yugwanjang Banjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-09-1tpzn-900.webp) ![Room-style gathering seats at Yugwanjang Banjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-10-w513l-900.webp) ## How do you order, and what did I eat?

When the food arrived, I tried the jjajangmyeon first. The noodles were chewy, and the chunjang black bean sauce was rich and savory. To me, it had the deep flavor of the sauce rather than an artificial sweetness or overly intense seasoning, which brought old-fashioned jjajangmyeon to mind. ![Jjajangmyeon and eggplant rice bowl at Yugwanjang Banjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-18-m955q-900.webp) ![Jjajangmyeon and eggplant rice bowl at Yugwanjang Banjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-19-26m9l-900.webp) ![Meal dishes served at Yugwanjang Banjeom near Omokgyo Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-20-qf23q-900.webp) ![Food ordered and tasted at Yugwanjang Banjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-21-r2cqg-900.webp) The eggplant rice bowl was the dish I had been looking forward to most. The eggplant softened easily in my mouth, and the sweet-and-spicy sauce had soaked all the way through. ![Yugwanjang Banjeom eggplant rice bowl with sweet-spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-22-86efa-1200.webp) *Eggplant rice bowl* However, it was a little spicy for me because I do not handle spicy food very well. Even so, the sauce and eggplant went well together, so I mixed them with the rice and finished the whole dish. Of everything I ate this time, the eggplant rice bowl was the most memorable. ## What was the seafood jjamppong broth like? Finally, I tried the seafood jjamppong. The broth, based on beef-bone stock, tasted rich to me without feeling heavy or overly intense. There was also a generous amount of seafood, which added more flavor to the broth. ![Seafood jjamppong with beef-bone broth at Yugwanjang Banjeom](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-23-1lo38-900.webp) ![Yugwanjang Banjeom seafood jjamppong with plenty of seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice-24-1r3ef-900.webp) ## Where it is - Yugwanjang Banjeom Omokgyo Station Branch (유관장반점 오목교역직영점) (유관장반점 오목교역직영점) - 256 Mokdongdong-ro, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 양천구 목동동로 256 2층) - 서울특별시 양천구 목동동로 256 2층 - 37.5257585, 126.874329 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A0%EA%B4%80%EC%9E%A5%EB%B0%98%EC%A0%90%20%EC%98%A4%EB%AA%A9%EA%B5%90%EC%97%AD%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.5257585,126.874329,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seat-in-seoul/yugwanjangbanjeom-omokgyo-family-eggplant-rice/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
