Arriving alone on a weekday at 11am, the writer ordered one bowl of jjamjjamyeon (half jjajangmyeon, half jjamppong) for 14,000 won, found plenty of two-person tables for eating solo without feeling watched, and had a disposable apron, pickled radish and water already waiting on the table.

It's Jjamppong Jijon Yeoksam Branch (짬뽕지존 역삼점)! ## Where is Jjamppong Jijon Yeoksam Branch, and what are the hours? Jjamppong Jijon Yeoksam Branch is on the 2nd floor of a building on Teheranro 10-gil, between Gangnam Station and Yeoksam Station. Hours are weekdays 10:00-22:00 and weekends 10:00-21:00. Both stations are within a 10-minute walk, so it's great for those getting around on foot! ![Exterior of the building on Teheranro 10-gil where Jjamppong Jijon Yeoksam Branch is located](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-01-1fb8f-900.webp) If you search on Naver Maps you'll find it quickly. There's also space to park out front, but since it's Gangnam, walking there is probably more convenient anyway! Jjamppong Jijon is on the 2nd floor of the building~ ![Entrance sign for Jjamppong Jijon Yeoksam Branch on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-02-1i81w-900.webp) Just head up the stairs on the right! ![Stairs on the right leading up to the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-03-1w0ap-900.webp) ## Eating alone at 11am: plenty of two-person tables I visited around 11am on a weekday lunch and there was plenty of seating! It's a pretty large-scale place, good for group dinners or eating out. ![Quiet, spacious dining hall on a weekday at 11am](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-04-1hqik-900.webp) ![Large table arrangement suited for group dinners](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-05-ouz2c-900.webp) I really liked that there were lots of two-person tables where you could eat solo without feeling awkward, haha. ![Two-person table good for solo dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-06-11fvg-900.webp) There were also hygienic disposable aprons ![Disposable apron set out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-07-1dni1-900.webp) ![Corner stocked with disposable aprons](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-08-14g07-900.webp) Pickled radish and water were already set out on the table ![Pickled radish and water on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-09-1nufs-900.webp) ![Menu board and price list at Jjamppong Jijon Yeoksam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-10-28xmo-900.webp) ## Menu prices at Jjamppong Jijon Yeoksam Branch Let me quickly introduce the menu - Jijon Jjamppong - ₩13,000 - Jijon Jjajangmyeon - ₩9,500 - Jjamjjamyeon - ₩14,000 - Sujebi Jjamppong, Rice Noodle Jjamppong - ₩13,000 - Soft Tofu Noodles - ₩14,000 - Soft Tofu Jjamppong Rice - ₩13,000 - Mapo Tofu Rice - ₩11,000 - Crab Fried Rice - ₩11,000 - Yuringi - ₩25,000 - Fried Eggplant - ₩19,000 - Kkanpung Shrimp - ₩32,000 - Cream Shrimp - ₩28,000 - Sichuan Sweet and Sour Pork - ₩22,000 - Glutinous Rice Sweet and Sour Pork - ₩20,000 - Handmade Mandu (8pc) - ₩8,500 - Fried Mandu (8pc) - ₩7,500 - Menbosha - ₩11,000 ## What comes with a 14,000-won bowl of jjamjjamyeon Honestly I was debating between jjajangmyeon and jjamppong, so I ordered a bowl of jjamjjamyeon instead. The upside is you get to enjoy two totally different flavors alternating in one bowl. ![View of the table while waiting for the jjamjjamyeon order](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-11-k1saf-900.webp) The self-serve corner had side plates, jjasai, kimchi, danmuji, onions, scissors, tongs, a rice cooker, and drinks (ade / yuja tea)! It was nice that the self-serve corner had such variety, haha. ![Self-serve corner with kimchi, jjasai, and onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-12-1tonz-900.webp) ![Self-serve corner with a rice cooker and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-13-1ddvn-900.webp) I brought over kimchi, jjasai, and rice, haha (only take as much as you'll actually eat!) ![Side plate with kimchi, jjasai, and a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-14-17uh6-1200.webp) ## How do the jjajangmyeon and jjamppong taste? The good thing about Chinese food is that it comes out fast. I'd been craving Chinese food since the day before, and I was happy the moment I saw the jjamjjamyeon~ Take a bite of the sweet, rich jjajangmyeon, then immediately follow it with a sip of the spicy, refreshing jjamppong broth — they neutralize each other's flavors and create an addictive combo you can't stop eating. ![Jjamjjamyeon served in one bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-15-13god-900.webp) ![Jjajangmyeon and jjamppong sitting side by side in the jjamjjamyeon bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-16-l3imz-900.webp) The jjajangmyeon had a sweet, salty chunjang (black bean sauce) deeply soaked into the chewy noodles! Personally, I'd highly recommend pairing it with kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi)...♥ ![Noodles coated in chunjang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-17-1wrwk-900.webp) ![Jjajangmyeon noodles lifted with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-18-7bco8-900.webp) Next up, the jjamppong! It was packed with seafood and vegetables, and the broth — infused with the ingredients — was clean yet spicy and hot, cutting right through any greasiness! The jjamppong is spicy, so it's good to eat it alongside the danmuji. ![Jjamppong packed with seafood and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-19-tkh0r-900.webp) ![Spicy jjamppong broth with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-20-1ovrl-900.webp) Make sure to grab rice from the self-serve corner and mix it into the leftover sauce! ![Mixing rice into the leftover jjamppong sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-21-kuh2f-900.webp) ![Empty jjamjjamyeon bowl after finishing with the rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon/yeoksam-jjambbongjijon-weekday-eleven-solo-jjamjjamyeon-22-1qvhm-900.webp) Take a bite of the sweet, rich jjajangmyeon, then immediately follow it with a sip of the spicy, refreshing jjamppong broth — they neutralize each other's flavors and create an addictive combo you just can't stop eating!!!
