Known as the origin of Jangmen, the signature bowl is very impressive. The rich, thick sauce clings to the thin noodles, and the umami of the broth combined with just the right amount of spiciness and a hint of sweetness is delightful. The richness of the garlic chives and offal blends into the soup, and I was engrossed in eating until the end. The kalbi rice bowl has a fragrant sauce that pairs perfectly with the meat, and the fluffy rice keeps coming. The rice is said to be local Niida rice, and the cabbage laid underneath adds a nice accent. The interior is lively, and it seems to be popular with locals, as I also saw people buying takeout Jangmen.
