A hidden Korean-Chinese eatery near the city. It looks very suspicious from outside but spacious and cozy inside :) Known to have the most authentic Jajangmyeon (korean style black bean noodle)! Khan-Jajang ☆☆☆☆
Most non-Koreans get Jajangmyeon but I highly recommend Khan-Jajang. It's similiar to Jajangmyeon but with more veggies/meat/egg. It is more rich, creamy, and flavourful! A huge portion - almost enough for two people.Trust me, instead of getting other dishes, stick to Jajangs and Jampongs here. (PS. Highly recommend Korean-style Sweet and Sour Pork as a side!)
hidden in a little passageway nearby carlton gardens, i knew i had to try han guuk guan sometime! i've never had jjajangmyeon before and didn't really know what to expect but for $14 oh my god the portion was huge. i struggled to finish it by myself and felt a bit sick at the end as i feel as though the overall taste was quite one dimensional. it has a strong salty, black bean taste but then is also quite sweet. i think there needs to be some heat or acidity added to make it more balanced.
i was given 3 side dishes as well which was really generous! the first one was some thick jelly noodles with a bit of spicy sauce and spring onion, served cold. then some kimchi and overly sweet candied potatoes and onions. suuuuper worth it for the price and felt like i was in korea! seems family owned and just had a wholesome vibe. defs will come back sometime - also accepts sosure!

A well hidden gem!
Went here with my cousin as the cravings kicked in from the last time I had these two dishes at another restaurant. She recommended this restaurant and I’ve also heard about this place from a few friends of mine.
we ordered the jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk.
Pro: HUGE portions, like when they brought out the food especially the tangsuyuk I was so shocked! It was so big that between the two of us we struggled to finish it. Although I was starving after working that day too, I couldn’t finish it. I think we overestimated ourselves. I really liked the tangsuyuk and it’s sauce.
Cons; the jajangmyeon noodles were different. The usual noodles is a little more on the thicker end but it was very thin noodles. I was confused because shouldn’t this dish usually have a side of pickled radish?? They compliment each other and balances out flavour
Service: staff were helpful and welcoming. They were busy the time we came in and was lucky to have a table available for us because I was honestly starving. The food wait wasn’t too long so by the time it arrived to the table I was ready to get stuck in!!
