The order was gochu-jjajang (spicy black bean noodles) and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork), pairing spicy noodles with big pieces of pork in a thin, crisp batter, plus a self-serve side dish bar and roadside parking nearby. Hwangbihong opens 11:00-20:00 daily and is a memorable pick for jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk in Iksan. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon-Sun 11:00-20:00 - **Last order**: 19:30 - **Parking**: Roadside parking nearby - **Ordered**: Gochu-jjajang, tangsuyuk - **Side dishes**: Self-serve side bar *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ## Where is Hwangbihong in Busong-dong, Iksan, and where do you park? I visited Hwangbihong, a jjamppong spot in Busong-dong, Iksan. There wasn't a dedicated parking lot, but there were plenty of roadside spots nearby, so parking wasn't difficult. ![Exterior of Hwangbihong, a Chinese restaurant in Busong-dong, Iksan](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-01-61i1y-1200.webp) It's a Chinese restaurant tucked away in a spot that felt more out of the way than I expected, yet customers kept streaming in. That got me even more excited haha ![Area around the entrance of Hwangbihong](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-02-1aon4-900.webp) ![Interior of Hwangbihong with customers dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-03-1ou5n-900.webp) When I walked in, there were a lot of workers there eating a meal. You know a spot workers themselves choose to eat at is a true hidden gem, right? Hwangbihong makes handmade dough with chives every morning. They also simmer Korean beef ox bones in a cauldron for 24 hours as the base for the jjamppong. ![Sign noting daily handmade chive noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-04-16fo5-900.webp) ## Hwangbihong's menu and self-serve side dish bar Here's the menu at Hwangbihong, an Iksan jjamppong spot — jjamppong, jjajang, gochu-jjajang, tangsuyuk, and many more options. ![Hwangbihong menu board listing jjamppong, jjajang, and tangsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-05-guc6n-900.webp) Side dishes at Hwangbihong are self-serve. Just take as much as you'd like! But only take what you'll actually eat!! ![Self-serve side dish bar at Hwangbihong](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-06-1vfm7-900.webp) ![Plate of self-served Chinese restaurant side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-07-u7uc9-900.webp) We ordered tangsuyuk and gochu-jjajang. I went back and forth between jjamppong and jjajangmyeon, but since so many people around us were eating jjajangmyeon, I went with that. ![Table setting with ordered gochu-jjajang and tangsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-08-8spdn-900.webp) ![A bowl of Hwangbihong's gochu-jjajang](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-09-17vg8-900.webp) ![Close-up of the chili-spiked jjajang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-10-1q6bu-m-900.webp) ## How does the gochu-jjajang taste at Hwangbihong? Instead of regular jjajangmyeon, I ordered the gochu-jjajang, so the sauce was loaded with chili. Can you see how glossy it looks? That glossiness matched a really deep umami flavor when I ate it. A flavor I want to eat again, ugh. It was the most memorable jjajangmyeon I've had in a while. Maybe because the noodles are handmade with chives every morning, they were chewy and soaked up the sauce perfectly — so good. ![Mixed gochu-jjajang noodles made with chive noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-11-1stkr-900.webp) ![Chewy noodles lifted with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-12-mc3n2-900.webp) ![Glossy gochu-jjajang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-13-6x5ax-900.webp) ## Why the thin-batter tangsuyuk is worth ordering If you come to Hwangbihong, just order the tangsuyuk. No question about it. The meat here is big but the batter is thin, giving it the best bite. That's also why it doesn't feel greasy at all. Crispy and satisfying to chew. ![Hwangbihong's tangsuyuk with thin batter](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-14-194ev-900.webp) ![Cross section of tangsuyuk showing large pieces of meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-15-17g17-900.webp) ![Table set with gochu-jjajang and tangsuyuk together](https://img.superchart.com/images/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong-16-1dzft-900.webp) Maybe that's why it paired so perfectly with the jjajangmyeon we ordered alongside it. The combo of slightly spicy jjajangmyeon and crispy tangsuyuk — I really hope you all try it too. If you're looking for a jjajangmyeon spot or a tangsuyuk spot in Iksan, I highly recommend Hwangbihong. I heard their jjamppong is amazing too, so I want to come back and try that next time. ## Where it is - Hwangbihong (황비홍) - 43 Busong-ro 6-gil, Iksan-si, Jeonbuk-do, South Korea - 전북특별자치도 익산시 부송로6길 43 황비홍중화요리 - 35.9541113, 126.9951547 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%A9%EB%B9%84%ED%99%8D/@35.9541113,126.9951547,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@yangdong-quiet-table/iksan-busong-gochujajang-tangsuyuk-hwangbihong/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
