Gangnam Chinese restaurant for crispy eggplant: Jjamppong Jijon
Jjamppong Jijon Yeoksam Branch is a Chinese restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul, serving rich jjamppong and shareable dishes. I ordered the original-flavor jjamppong for 13,000 won and fried eggplant for 19,000 won; the spacious setting worked for both solo diners and groups. Verdict: the crispy, juicy fried eggplant is a must-order.
