🥢 Old-Style Jjajangmyeon at a Veteran Eatery by Dongdaemun Station, Deokseonggak

If you are exploring Dongdaemun Market or Heunginjimun Gate, we recommend a hearty meal at Deokseonggak, just a few minutes’ walk from Exit 10 of Dongdaemun Station.

The signature old-style jjajangmyeon comes with a nutty, potato-rich black bean sauce served separately, so you can mix in as much as you like. It is the very taste of the jjajangmyeon Koreans grew up with.

Crispy tangsuyuk with sweet and tangy sauce and gochu jjamppong spiced up with hot peppers are also popular. With group seating and private rooms, it suits larger parties as well.
