🏅 Blue Ribbon–Selected Chinese Institution in Namdaemun Market: Hongbok
We confidently recommend Hongbok, a Chinese restaurant in Namdaemun Market selected by the Blue Ribbon Survey, for anyone who wants to taste handmade pan-fried dumplings and old-style jajangmyeon.
If you are staying around Namdaemun or Hoehyeon, we recommend Hongbok on Namdaemunsijang-gil for a hearty lunch while exploring the market or a Chinese course meal with companions.
The signature dumplings are handmade and pan-fried until golden, while the yuni jajangmyeon, with finely minced meat and vegetables, keeps the mild flavor of classic black bean noodles.
The fiery pepper jjamppong, yuringi (crispy chicken in sweet-sour sauce) and Chinese-style cold noodles are also popular, and course meals can be enjoyed on the upper floors of the spacious four-story restaurant.
