It's so popular that a long line forms before opening. I arrived around 10:30 a.m., and plenty of people were already waiting even though it was still 1 hour before opening. Catch Table reservations opened at 11:00 a.m., and I ended up all the way at number 18. There are only 9 tables inside, so turnover wasn't fast. I arrived at 10:30 a.m. but couldn't get in until after 12:30 p.m. Once seated, they set out kimchi, onions, pickled radish, and chojang. The kimchi had a tasty kick similar to the heat of the jjamppong. Even the kimchi raised my expectations. The first dish to arrive was the small tangsuyuk. The meat was well seasoned with no off smell, crispy outside, and tender inside. The sauce was sweet, tangy, and full flavored, making it seriously delicious and hard to stop eating. Next came the pot jjamppong, ordered at the middle of 3 spice levels, loaded with seafood in a huge pot. I took out the mussels and octopus first. The octopus gets tough if it cooks too long, so it's best to eat it quickly. After enjoying the seafood, you add the noodles. I'd never had jjamppong served this way before, but the broth and seafood worked together beautifully and tasted amazing. After eating a good amount of the seafood, I added the noodles. They soaked up the broth nicely and were very satisfying. If the broth starts tasting a little salty, you can ask for more stock to adjust it, which was helpful. Most importantly, they close early once the waiting list reaches capacity, so it's best to arrive ahead of time if you're planning a visit. Overall, Dongeunseong Pot Jjamppong is my all-time favorite jjamppong spot, with flawless chojang, kimchi, tangsuyuk, and jjamppong. The wait is long, but it was absolutely worth it.
탕수육(45 reviews)Dinner・Visited 2023/05(1 visits)4.502The place that gave my friend the strength to keep living when they were ready to give up on lifeMaybe I'd forgotten because it had been about 2 years since we went. A friend I'd known since high school kept saying they didn't want to live anymore, and I was so worried that I traveled from Seoul down to Daejeon. Without much of a plan, I brought them here, thinking I had to buy them the best meal possible. We put our name on the waiting list 30 minutes before opening and talked while we waited. A bubbling pot of jjamppong and a plate of tangsuyuk came out. The tangsuyuk was crispy outside, tender inside, and soft, while the jjamppong was spicy and warming without being painfully hot. The jjamppong had octopus, mussels, clams, bean sprouts... Fresh ingredients and a fresh combination. Chili flakes meeting noodles—pure bliss. My friend, who had looked utterly miserable, said one thing: “This is good.” That friend recently opened a fried chicken shop, so I should take them back again after all this time.
