Self-service pickled radish and onions were available, and they were delicious. As they say, the pickled radish at a Chinese restaurant has to be good!
The menu arrived promptly. Due to a past traumatic experience with Jjamppong noodles, I opted for Jjamppong rice this time.
The visual alone was intimidatingly spicy-looking. But with spring onions, bean sprouts, shrimp, mussels, and various seafood, it was delightful. Despite its spiciness, it had a refreshing and flavorful taste that kept me coming back for more. Even for someone not accustomed to spicy food, it was manageable.
The Wonju Ddukbaegi Jjamppong, almost finished to the last bit, brought back a longing for its taste.
Review:
- For those who love soupy dishes, this is a must-try menu when visiting Wonju.
- It was spicy, flavorful, and deliciously savory.
