We are visiting a famous Jjamppong restaurant located in Gangneung, Gangwon-do.

If you want to experience the true essence of Korean spicy seafood noodle soup, you must visit the original home of Gyodong Jjamppong: Wonjo Gangneung Gyodong
Banjeom

While there are many “Gyodong Jjamppong” restaurants everywhere, this is the authentic original headquarters.

2. Just Follow the Line

  • Location: 205 Gangneung-daero, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do.
  • Finding this restaurant is incredibly easy. Because it is so legendary, there is almost always a long line of eager customers waiting outside. Just look for the massive queue on the street, and you will know you have arrived!

If you want to feel the real, deep flavor of Jjamppong, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit during your trip to Korea. It sets the standard for what this iconic Korean-Chinese dish should taste like.

As the authentic original headquarters of the famous Gyodong Jjamppong, this legendary restaurant sets the standard for Korean-Chinese cuisine.
