The food was enjoyable. I tried the sam sun jampong (seafood noodles) and it was very good and flavorful. It does have a kick, so ask for less spicy if you can't handle spice. The tangsuyuk-jajang is the combination. The tangsuyuk is basically fried pork which didn't have much flavor. The khan pung gi (chicken) was delicious and the large was a great family sized dish. If you're to-going, they do charge per container whether it's big or small.
Probably the best black bean noodle/Jjampong place around the area. I love their Gan-jjajang-Myun as well as I'm a big fan of onions. If you aren't an onion fan, this may not be the best option for you. I believe the Jjampong (spicy seafood noodles) isn't spicy to a traditional Korean palette, but if you know you're not great with spice, be careful; however, the flavor is all there in the broth, so I'd still recommend trying it! The service is also quick and great, and I love the homely feeling inside. I can't forget to mention, you MUST get the Kkanpunggi, which are saucy fried chicken lollipops!
Stopped by for lunch. I love the half and half option for their jjajangmyeon. The pork was nice and crispy with a perfect amount of sauce. The space was cute and quiet and an overall great place to just sit and enjoy a meal. Prices were very fair, I can definitely see myself coming back to try out more of the menu.
Came here because we were shopping at hmart and the soondubu place was closed! I've never had Korean Chinese before. Sizzling rice soup was very thick with cornstarch, veggies, seafood and poured into a giant hot stone pot. The squid was tasty-sweet and spicy. The waitress was super sweet, nice and attentive. We asked to take our leftover kimchi and she brought more for us to bring home!
Located off a strip mall in Ellicott City this is a must go for Korean comfort food. This was my first time and I was told this restaurant is a Korean staple in the area for over 20 years. The staff is extremely friendly - as it was cold they brought us warm barley tea (boricha). We ordered the Korean Chinese fusion dish - jjajangmeyon and fried beef cutlets (the combo is a must). The jjajangmeyon were average but the jjampong - spicy seafood noodle dish was spectacular - maybe the best I've had? The staff also brought us kimchi on the side (kimchi was fine). For being in a strip mall - the restaurants is quite big inside with Korean tv playing in the background. It's cozy and super clean with the friendliest staff. It may but be the best Korean food you've ever had but it's good and comforting especially on a cold day!
Best Korean Chinese food in the area! We ordered Samsun jjajang and jjampong this time and both tasted amazing - was better than Tien we recently went to for slightly cheaper too. We also got glutinous rice fried pork (large) and LOVED IT. It was definitely worth the extra couple of $$. Service was very fast, and the servers were so nice. They refilled our radish without us asking and even offered an apron so we wouldn't get food all over our shirt. The place is very spacious, and if we are ever craving Korean-Chinese food, we'll be coming here!
One of our to go spots for some home cooking style Korean food In Ellicott city. Foods are delicious, the signature fried chicken, pork strips with sweet n sour sauce are must to have. Aside from the signature black noodles and all. Service is typical for a Korean restaurant , not bad. Simply atmosphere, nothing really special. Plenty parking out front, next to Tiger Sugar.
Plenty of free parking in the store lot. Also, accepts both cash and credit card. I stumbled upon this restaurant for dinner one night. We decided to get carry out. Upon entering the restaurant, there were tons of locals visiting this spot. The staff here at the front was very friendly and you just know that this place was going to be good. The aroma of spices and kim chi was in the air. We ordered several dishes from their seafood spicy noodle, crispy pork and their fried rice.. they also have a delicious spicy beef dish. Tons of garlic on the entree. All the dishes were flavorful. And their portions were large enough for sharing. If you like spicy food, this place offers tons of options to meet your needs. The crispy pork dish came with a nice sauce that you can pour on the pork which help soften the protein while also providing sweetness to the dish. This place is a great local mom and pop shop and is worth giving a shot.
I dined here just a few nights ago. For someone (like myself) who hasn't had Korean-Chinese cuisine, the half jjajjamyung (black bean noodles) and tangsuyuk (sweet & sour fried pork) hit the spot!!! I have a nice tip for ya, you can add some red pepper flakes onto your black bean noodles for a little kick! Anywho, one of the things that I enjoy about this establishment is that you can enjoy a good meal for a great price! Customer service is always amazing here at Han Joong Kwan! :)
