We had cream jjamppong, beef brisket bibim noodles, flying-fish-roe rice balls, and draft beer, with the mixed noodles becoming the standout. Verdict: a fun pick for drinks and shareable food. ## Good to know - **Cream jjamppong**: ₩21,900 - **Beef brisket bibim noodles**: ₩19,900 - **Flying-fish-roe rice balls**: ₩6,900 - **Hanmac creamy draft beer**: ₩4,500 - **Seating**: Tables for 2–4 people and group seating *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* Lulu and Pipi went on a date in Yeongdeungpo's food alley! After work, we wanted to shake off all that built-up stress with tasty bar food and cold drinks, so we visited Ho Samchon Yeongdeungpo Main Branch, a Yeongdeungpo Station bar known for its great atmosphere!! It had such a cool vibe and a huge range of dishes, making it a nice choice not only for dates but also for work dinners and get-togethers in Yeongdeungpo!! More than anything, the cream jjamppong and beef brisket bibim noodle combination we had that day was exactly our kind of thing!! ![Cream jjamppong and beef brisket bibim noodle pairing](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-01-jz0ob-900.webp) > Ho Samchon Yeongdeungpo Main Branch ![Visiting Ho Samchon in Yeongdeungpo's food alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-02-1gp5p-776.webp) ## A Yeongdeungpo food-alley bar that looks cool from the entrance Even Ho Samchon's door looks incredibly cool, right?! Hahaha ![Ho Samchon entrance with a retro public telephone](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-03-1ndzj-900.webp) ![Cool-looking Ho Samchon entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-04-19i0d-866.webp) There was an old public telephone attached right to the door, and it instantly brought back memories hahaha. If you were born in the '80s or '90s, it is the kind of retro detail that makes you look twice for no reason! Once inside, the flashy lights and cool atmosphere really hit you. There were plenty of seating options, from tables that work well for two to four people to group tables for larger parties, so it looked easy to visit with whatever size group you have. ![Ho Samchon interior with tables and group seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-05-18i7i-873.webp) It would be great for a casual drink with friends, a couple's date, a Yeongdeungpo bar gathering, or even a work dinner near Yeongdeungpo Station!! The neon lighting did make the food photos look a little less appetizing, though ㅠㅠㅠㅠ It was really delicious ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ ![Guide to the dishes ordered at Ho Samchon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-06-jfj1m-900.webp) ## What we ordered - Cream jjamppong ₩21,900 - Beef brisket bibim noodles ₩19,900 - Flying-fish-roe rice balls ₩6,900 - Hanmac creamy draft beer ₩4,500 True to its reputation for great bar food in Yeongdeungpo, Ho Samchon has an absolutely enormous menu hahaha. From soups and stews to stir-fries and fried dishes, plus mains and sides, there were so many choices that we spent ages studying the menu! ![Choosing from the wide range of bar-food dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-07-o93zs-900.webp) I was surprised that, despite the huge selection, the prices were not overly burdensome overall. Considering prices these days, being able to enjoy such generous bar food at these prices felt pretty great haha. ## A real blast from the past: chicken-leg crackers as the table snack Ho Samchon's complimentary table snack is chicken-leg crackers!! Lots of you ate these as kids, right?! Hahaha. Seeing them again after so long was oddly nice, and once I started picking at them one by one, I just could not stop. They were salty and crunchy, and the moment I tried them, I thought, “This needs beer!” So we immediately ordered a Hanmac creamy draft beer hahaha. With a cold glass of draft beer in hand, we were all set to properly dig into the food!! ![Ho Samchon cream jjamppong](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-08-1toat-966.webp) ## What does Ho Samchon's signature cream jjamppong taste like? The first dish to arrive was cream jjamppong, one of Ho Samchon's signature dishes! ![Cream jjamppong with seafood and udon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-09-xqlw1-900.webp) Rather than regular red jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup), this dish has a spicy cream base with seafood and udon noodles. It came in a large pot piled generously with mung bean sprouts and seafood, and the visual alone was impressive!! ![Cream jjamppong generously filled with sprouts and seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-10-5ysw2-900.webp) When I tasted the broth, the gentle, nutty cream flavor was followed by a subtle heat. It was less heavy than expected and kept drawing me back!! It tasted somewhere between cream pasta and jjamppong, while the savoriness from the seafood made the broth truly special!! ![Udon noodles coated in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-11-ko061-900.webp) The udon noodles had soaked up the sauce beautifully too, making them so satisfying to slurp! Eat noodles, pick out some seafood, take another sip of broth, and naturally take a sip of draft beer hahaha. This feels like a dish that would be especially popular at a Yeongdeungpo bar work dinner, where you absolutely need one hot stew or brothy dish! ![생맥주와 곁들인 크림짬뽕](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-12-uduhu-966.webp) ![Ho Samchon beef brisket bibim noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-13-1h8ov-900.webp) ## A new favorite bar snack: beef brisket bibim noodles And the dish we enjoyed most that day was the beef brisket bibim noodles!! One plate comes half-and-half with spicy bibim noodles and stir-fried beef brisket with mung bean sprouts. ![Half bibim noodles and half stir-fried beef brisket with sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-14-1shma-966.webp) With red bibim noodles beside nuttily stir-fried beef brisket and sprouts, it looked mouthwatering from the start hahaha. At first, we tried the two separately. The bibim noodles were spicier than expected! ![Bibim noodles with spicy seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-15-1n8m6-966.webp) To me, they tasted just a little spicier than Shin Ramyun, but it was not simply heat—the seasoning was sweet, tangy, and addictive. My tongue was on fire, but I could not put my chopsticks down hahaha. ![Bibim noodles with sweet and tangy seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-16-17mhy-900.webp) ![A plate of spicy bibim noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-17-1c5n9-900.webp) Even while going “phew, phew...” I kept eating. It was seriously addictive!! ![Beef brisket sprouts and bibim noodle combination](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-18-1reig-966.webp) But Lulu, who cannot handle much spice, decided after about half the noodles to mix them with the stir-fried beef brisket and sprouts beside them. This was truly the genius move hahaha. ![Bibim noodles mixed with stir-fried beef brisket and sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-19-1kkoe-782.webp) The nutty richness of the beef brisket and the clean flavor of the sprouts joined the spicy-tangy bibim noodle sauce, balancing the heat to just the right level. Salty, nutty, and pleasantly spicy—it was the perfect drink companion!! ![Nutty mixed beef brisket bibim noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-20-1dssl-966.webp) We ate them separately at first, but eventually mixed everything together for the last bites, and I personally totally recommend eating it this way hahaha. If you visit Ho Samchon, you have to try this at least once!! ## Flying-fish-roe rice balls to soothe a spicy mouth Just as our mouths were starting to feel spicy from the bibim noodles, the flying-fish-roe rice balls arrived! ![Flying-fish-roe rice balls that calm the heat](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-21-19t6g-966.webp) You really cannot leave out rice balls beside spicy bar food like this hahaha. ![DIY seaweed-flake and flying-fish-roe rice balls](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-22-180hr-802.webp) The rice, mixed with seaweed flakes and flying-fish roe, is shaped into little balls yourself, so making them one by one was fun too haha. ![Round flying-fish-roe rice balls](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-23-tipir-966.webp) One bite of a nutty rice ball took the edge off the bibim noodles' heat, and we were ready for more noodles again hahaha. ![Rice balls with popping flying-fish roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon-24-xip7g-791.webp) The popping texture of the flying-fish roe was especially nice, so although it is a side dish, I kept reaching for it!! ## A place I want to revisit to work through the bar-food menu From the cream jjamppong to the beef brisket bibim noodles and flying-fish-roe rice balls, every dish at Ho Samchon paired so well with drinks that we were very satisfied! There are so many types of bar food that next time I want to slowly check off the dishes we did not get to try haha. If you are looking for a Yeongdeungpo bar gathering spot in the food alley with a good atmosphere and delicious food, I totally recommend it!! Lulu and Pipi plan to return to Ho Samchon the next time we have drinks in Yeongdeungpo! ## Where it is - Ho Samchon Yeongdeungpo Main Branch (호삼촌 영등포본점) - 4 Yeongdeungpo-ro 46-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 영등포구 영등포로46길 4 2층 호삼촌 영등포본점) - 서울특별시 영등포구 영등포로46길 4 2층 호삼촌 영등포본점 - 37.5190119, 126.9077348 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%98%B8%EC%82%BC%EC%B4%8C%20%EC%98%81%EB%93%B1%ED%8F%AC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5190119,126.9077348,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-gangwon-mealmarks/yeongdeungpo-hosamchon-woosamgyeop-bibimmyeon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
