Jung-gu sits at the geographic and commercial center of Seoul, encompassing Myeongdong (K-beauty and street food), Namdaemun Market, and the financial district. The food here spans the full range — from tourist-facing street stalls in Myeongdong to understated lunch joints serving office workers, and traditional Korean restaurants that have operated for decades without needing to advertise.
Jajiangmian is good. Jumping is a bit too much noodles. Was told that the sweet and sour pork is good, but too much food to order that.Restaurant name in Chinese is 开花KaiHwa
Quickly get crowded. So need to visit early if you want to have dinner
We dined at this restaurant twice during our holiday in Seoul, and it quickly became a family favorite. The Sweet & Sour Pork is an absolute must-try—crispy, flavorful, and loved by all of us, including my wife and two children. On our first visit, the dish came generously coated in sauce, which my child found a bit overwhelming. So on our second visit, we requested the pork and the sauce to be served separately, and that made it perfect for everyone. A delicious dish and attentive service made us return—highly recommended!
