I ended up at Dolpanseok Jjamppong Paju Simhaksan Branch while looking for somewhere to eat near the Paju Lotte Outlet. Came home having eaten the nurungji (scorched rice) part perfectly too 💗 Dolpanseok Jjamppong Paju Simhaksan Branch 🔥

I heard there was a Paju Simhaksan restaurant with a distinctive menu, so I went to check it out. This is Dolpanseok Jjamppong Simhaksan Branch, home of the sizzling stone-plate jjamppong and stone-plate jajang that come out bubbling on a hot stone plate 🔥
There's also a parking area right in front of the restaurant, so I parked comfortably and went in :)
A famous restaurant that's even been on TV! Miryang Stone Jjamppong — KBS Live Info, MBN Everyday Morning, SBS Live Today / Songjeong Stone Jjamppong — MBC Live Bravo, KNN Morning Today / Ulsan Daewangam Stone Jjamppong — Ulsan MBC Ultra
Arriving at opening time: what the Paju Simhaksan restaurant looks like inside
The inside of Dolpanseok Jjamppong Paju Simhaksan Branch was spacious and looked like it could seat a lot of guests. When I visited a bit before the usual lunch rush (we pretty much always open-run^_^;), there weren't many customers yet, but by the time we finished eating and left, the place was packed — a true Paju Simhaksan restaurant ✨
The place was clean, and the tables along the wall had partitions, which made for a good atmosphere for a cozy meal.
Is there a more generous restaurant than this? A sign said that regardless of party size, you can order a medium jajang even if there are four of you, or a large even if there are just two of you! I feel like I'm definitely the latter type 🐷🐽
Dolpanseok Jjamppong menu and prices in Paju
The menu was really varied. Beyond the basic stone jajang and stone jjamppong, there's also whole octopus stone jjamppong and whole octopus stone jajang with 🦑 whole octopus in them ❤️

Free rice refills and the self-serve green onion kimchi bar
At Dolpanseok Jjamppong Paju Simhaksan Branch, you can freely help yourself to extra side dishes from the self-serve bar ❣️ Plus, rice is free, with unlimited refills as much as you want :)
The basic side dishes at a Chinese restaurant are of course pickled radish and raw onion.
And, there was green onion kimchi (pa-kimchi) available at the self-serve bar. You know eating jajangmyeon with green onion kimchi is pure bliss. The pa-kimchi was fermented just right, not too much — genuinely delicious!!!
Nurungji stone-plate jajang for two, tungbosha set and summer cold jjamppong
Our order arrived. We ordered nurungji stone jajang for two + the tungbosha set menu, plus cold jjamppong ✔️
The stone jajang comes out sizzling and bubbling on the stone plate! There's nurungji at the bottom, so be careful there — that's what makes it stick nicely so you can enjoy it even more later ⭐️
Loaded with onion and seafood, and I could spot some quail eggs too.
The summer-only cold jjamppong 🍜 Since summer is starting to wind down, I asked just in case it was still available, and luckily it was! Refreshing and tangy like a mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) or bibim noodle broth, with a spicy kick mixed in 🔥 It paired really well with the stone jajang we ordered 👍
The seasoning was just right — nicely sweet jajangmyeon. Toward the end, mixing in the nurungji at the bottom turns it into jajang rice — pure magic 🪄 A real treat!
Handmade tungbosha (fried shrimp toast), 4 pieces with the set
The tungbosha 4pcs that came with the set menu. They're really, reeeally chubby!! I've never seen menbosha (fried shrimp toast) this plump before 👀
I picked one up with my hand for scale — see? About the size of a baby's fist, with a super crispy outside and packed full of shrimp meat inside. Dolpanseok Jjamppong's tungbosha 💛
On our way out after finishing, there was even a dessert corner — rice crackers and yogurt drink 🥤 A refreshing way to finish, a truly delicious and filling Paju Simhaksan restaurant ⭐️
