🏅 Blue Ribbon–Selected Ethnic-Chinese Restaurant in Myeongdong: Haenghwachon

We confidently recommend Haenghwachon, an ethnic-Chinese restaurant in Myeongdong selected by the Blue Ribbon Survey, to anyone who wants authentic Korean-Chinese food at reasonable prices.

If you are staying in Myeongdong, we recommend Haenghwachon, on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building with the red 杏花村 sign on Namdaemun-ro near the Chinese Embassy, for a casual lunch or dinner.

The jjajangmyeon at around 6,000 won is loved enough to be called a model of ethnic-Chinese yuni jjajang, and the seafood fried rice and thick yusanseul over rice are also popular.

Dishes like lajogi (spicy chicken) and yusanseul are excellent too, and a set of chili shrimp, jjamppong and jjajang lets you try several flavors at once.
