What we ordered at Bueokgan and what it cost

There was a wide range of Chinese dishes ready, from jjajang and jjamppong to more, so it was easy to order both a noodle dish and a cooked dish together, haha. That day we tried the poached egg pork belly jjajang, mapo tofu rice bowl, and black vinegar pork loin sweet and sour pork.

Spoons, chopsticks and napkins were set on the table as standard, and the water served had a subtle, fragrant tea taste. It went really well with the Chinese dishes! 👍🏻

The side dishes were danmuji (pickled radish) and jjasai (pickled mustard stem), and the jjasai especially was so crunchy that it was great to nibble on before the food arrived, haha.

📋 Order — Black vinegar pork loin sweet and sour pork ₩28,000 / Poached egg pork belly jjajang ₩10,000 / Mapo tofu rice bowl ₩12,000

Black vinegar pork loin sweet and sour pork, 28,000 won

The first dish to arrive was the black vinegar pork loin sweet and sour pork! Even though it's the style where the sauce is poured directly over the meat, the texture was still really crispy. There was plenty of onion piled on top of the crispy fried pork, and the pork itself had no off smell and tasted great.

The black vinegar sauce had a sweet and tangy flavor that matched the crispy pork well, and it was also a great combo eaten together with the jjajang. 🤤

Poached egg pork belly ganjjajang, 10,000 won

This was the dish I was most looking forward to among everything we ordered — the poached egg pork belly jjajang. It came topped with a poached egg and cucumber, and personally I love jjajang with cucumber on top, so it was nice to see it again after a while. 😆 The fragrant cucumber matched the rich jjajang flavor way better than I expected, haha.

I popped the poached egg before eating and mixed it in with the jjajang, and it added a nutty, soft richness that I really liked.

The noodles came already partly mixed, so I didn't have to struggle mixing everything from scratch, which was convenient, and the onion — the key ingredient in jjajang — was stir-fried while keeping its crunchy texture, which was delicious.

If you're looking for a jjajang dish at a Haeundae Chinese restaurant, this one with poached egg and pork belly is worth trying. I'd especially recommend piling a bit of the sweet and sour pork on top of the jjajang for a bite that has everything!

Mapo tofu rice bowl, 12,000 won

The mapo tofu rice bowl came with a warm egg soup on the side. One bite in, there was a bit of spice, but it wasn't too much — just a mild, gentle heat you could enjoy without any pressure.

There was plenty of soft tofu, onion and meat, which I liked, and while you could eat the rice and mapo tofu separately, personally I thought mixing everything together — rice and sauce all through — made for a much more balanced flavor. It was a great Haeundae Chinese restaurant for ordering a few different dishes and sharing!

Is Bueokgan Chinese Haeundae Branch worth a visit?

From the crispy black vinegar pork loin, to the jjajang where you pop a poached egg into the mix, to the soft mapo tofu rice bowl — every dish had a different flavor, making it a great spot to enjoy a variety of Chinese dishes together. With its clean atmosphere and convenient parking, I'd recommend this Haeundae Chinese restaurant for both a family meal and a date.
