# Sinchon bar in Seoul: ramyeon sari and flying fish roe fried rice - By Siyeon (https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-nightcap-route/) - Written Sep 7, 2026 - Local places › Bars › Seodaemun, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written after receiving a complimentary visit from the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-nightcap-route/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seoul-nightcap-route/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/index.md) ## In short Yeokjeon Pojangmacha Sinchon Branch is a retro-style indoor pojangmacha (street-food-style bar) on the Sinchon bar street in Seodaemun, Seoul. On a Sunday evening the writer added ramyeon sari (instant noodle add-in) to a small Korean beef gopdori-tang, then finished the leftover broth as flying fish roe and diced radish fried rice, with medium spice landing around Shin Ramyeon level and a top-up of water fixing the strong seasoning while stretching the portion. It's a solid Sinchon bar pick when you want a casual drink with spicy, hearty food. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Korean beef gopdori-tang (small) + added ramyeon sari (medium spice), egg rice, flying fish roe and diced radish fried rice - **Drink promotion**: ₩3,900 soju / ₩2,900 beer, year-round (per original post) - **Location**: 26 Yonsei-ro 7-gil, 2F, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea — walking distance from Sinchon Station - **Seating**: Window seats available, windows can be opened *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* Wondering what to eat on a Sunday evening that would actually feel like a proper meal, I ended up at Yeokjeon Pojangmacha Sinchon Branch! The weather's been getting cooler lately and I was craving something spicy and hearty at a pojangmacha (street-food-style bar) with a drink on the side haha. ![Visiting Yeokjeon Pojangmacha Sinchon Branch on the Sinchon bar street](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-01-3dqge-900.webp) ![A cool evening outing at a Sinchon pojangmacha](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-02-bjwu1-900.webp) ## A walk from Sinchon Station ![Entrance to Yeokjeon Pojangmacha Sinchon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-03-rafqf-900.webp) *Yeokjeon Pojangmacha Sinchon Branch* Yeokjeon Pojangmacha Sinchon Branch is easy enough to find along the Sinchon bar street. It's within walking distance of Sinchon Station too, so the location looked good for setting up a meetup and continuing on to a second or third round! ## Retro pojangmacha vibes inside ![Retro indoor pojangmacha atmosphere inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-04-ws40x-900.webp) *Interior* ![Vintage-decorated pojangmacha interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-05-1v8be-900.webp) *Interior* The moment you step inside, you get that classic retro pojangmacha feel! It's indoors, but decorated with a vintage street-tent look, giving it a different vibe from the sleek, clean bars that are everywhere these days. ![Window seat with the window open](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-06-1sq7v-900.webp) We got lucky with a window seat! The weather was cool and clear that day, so opening the window gave it that outdoor pojangmacha feeling too haha. ![Soju and beer price promotion sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-07-1rxzu-1200.webp) And true to a Sinchon bar near the university area, they run a year-round promotion: ₩3,900 soju and ₩2,900 beer. These days soju is ₩6,000 if you go to Gangnam, so seeing this price was kind of touching ^^... A pretty great deal for students who love to drink or anyone here for a casual round! ## What's on the menu ![Yeokjeon Pojangmacha Sinchon Branch menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-08-1k2om-900.webp) *Menu* ![Menu listing gopdori-tang and other pojangmacha snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-09-z5f07-900.webp) *Menu* The Yeokjeon Pojangmacha menu has gopdori-tang along with all kinds of other pojangmacha bar snacks you'd expect, plus a separate odeng (fish cake skewer) bar. Total Sinchon bar feel — great for ordering a bunch of things with friends and drinking. ![Table set before ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-10-ivm33-900.webp) ![Small serving of Korean beef gopdori-tang set out](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-11-18ea9-900.webp) But we had a clear mission from the start haha. What we ordered first was Korean beef gopdori-tang (small) with added ramyeon sari (medium spice), and egg rice for my friend who can't eat a meal without a mountain of rice. I skipped the rice so I could enjoy the flying fish roe fried rice more later ^^ Honestly, I'm the type who orders gopdori-tang just for the fried rice at the end... ## Korean beef gopdori-tang + ramyeon sari Slowly coming to a boil. Cheers, let's dig in 🍻 The Korean beef gopdori-tang comes pre-cooked, so once the ramyeon and mushrooms are done you can eat it all together! ![Korean beef gopdori-tang boiling with ramyeon sari](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-12-sodfv-900.webp) ![Ramyeon noodles soaked in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-13-1bni7-900.webp) Personally, I highly recommend adding the ramyeon sari! Noodles soaked in that broth are genuinely great as a drinking snack, and just as good as a meal on their own. Truly gorgeous... noodles and glass noodles... 🥺 ![Boneless chicken thigh and beef intestine pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-14-ayymf-900.webp) ![Spicy gopdori-tang broth and ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-15-1lwjg-900.webp) They use domestic boneless chicken thigh, so it wasn't dry at all — so tender! The daechang (beef intestine) was nutty and paired well with the spicy broth too, so my friend and I dug in eagerly. We ordered medium spice and it landed around Shin Ramyeon level, which felt just right, not lacking at all! Personally the seasoning was a bit strong, but adding a little water while it simmered stretched the portion and balanced the seasoning perfectly — total win 👍 haha. If you like spicy, punchy drinking food, I'd recommend Korean beef gopdori-tang when you're deciding on a Sinchon bar menu! ![Broth reduced down after cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-16-6us6q-m-900.webp) ![Pot after finishing the gopdori-tang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-17-lgkah-900.webp) ## Finishing with flying fish roe and diced radish fried rice (self-made) Isn't the real charm of gopdori-tang the fried rice at the end? (Strongly agreed.) Even with a full stomach, I couldn't skip the fried rice, so I ordered it right away. Diced radish and flying fish roe come out prepped with fragrant sesame oil, and I was already drooling.. ![Flying fish roe and diced radish for the fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-18-e8sf8-900.webp) ![Self-made flying fish roe and diced radish fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-19-3nkfm-900.webp) The fried rice is self-made, so I gave it a try — pretty talented, right? 😏 Just fry the rice thoroughly in the leftover gopdori-tang broth and you're done! The popping flying fish roe and the occasional crunch of diced radish cut through the richness, so even though I kept telling myself to stop, my chopsticks kept going back ㅜ ## To sum up Overall, Yeokjeon Pojangmacha Sinchon Branch was a great spot to grab a casual drink with friends or when you're craving spicy drinking food. With its retro pojangmacha vibe, it's a good fit for people looking for a Sinchon bar to chat comfortably in, rather than a quiet, mood-setting bar. 🤍 We left fully satisfied after properly working through the Korean beef gopdori-tang, ramyeon sari, and flying fish roe fried rice. ![Table after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice-20-103uj-900.webp) Next time I want to come with a bigger group and try the odeng bar and other pojangmacha menu items too :) If you're looking for a place in Sinchon for a spicy gopdori-tang and a casual drink, give this Sinchon bar, Yeokjeon Pojangmacha Sinchon Branch, a try! ## Where it is - Yeokjeon Pojangmacha Sinchon Branch (역전포장마차 신촌점) - 26 Yonsei-ro 7-gil, 2F, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서대문구 연세로7길 26 2층 - 37.5577895, 126.9353328 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%84%ED%8F%AC%EC%9E%A5%EB%A7%88%EC%B0%A8%20%EC%8B%A0%EC%B4%8C%EC%A0%90/@37.5577895,126.9353328,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-nightcap-route/sinchon-pocha-hanwoo-gopdoritang-fried-rice/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
