BEST 3 Chinese Restaurants with Amazing Taste

Introducing the top three Chinese restaurants in Seoul. The menu I would like to especially introduce here is ‘Chinese Cold Noodles’. I would like to say that the nutty and umami flavor of the peanut butter-flavored soup is by far the best. Let’s take a look at a Chinese restaurant that boasts over 40 years of tradition and is known for its ‘Chinese cold noodles’ that are more delicious than Jjajangmyeon.

1. Madam Ming(마담밍)

‘Madam Ming’ is located about 141m (2-3 minutes) away from Seolleung Station No. 2. You can find it very close to the subway station.

Madame Ming is a Chinese restaurant representing Seolleung Station and is famous for its Champong cold noodles and Cool Champong.

The signature dish is, of course, the spicy Champong cold noodles, but ‘Chinese Milmyeon’ is also one of the popular menu items here.

The ‘Chinese cold noodles’ soup tastes like a thick peanut sauce with mustard added. It was refreshing and savory, so I kept eating it. The chewy cold noodles here are a perfect match for the soup.
Personally, I recommend ‘Chinese Naengmyeon’ over the signature spicy ‘Jjambbong Naengmyeon’. Be sure to try it.

2. Yeong hwa jang(영화장)

The ‘Yeong hwa jang’ is a Chinese restaurant with a long history of over 40 years in front of the Foreign Studies University, which is lined with restaurants.

The most recommended menu here is ‘Chinese cold noodles.’

The portion is very generous as it is filled with fresh and plump seafood, chewy noodles, and thin ice that will cool you down to the bone.

The soup has the perfect richness and savory flavor, so you can eat it without leaving a single drop behind.

This place is also famous for being one of the top three sweet and sour pork and black bean noodles restaurants in Seoul. Don’t pass up and try ‘Baek Jjajang’ and ‘Sweet and sour pork’, which is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.

• Address: 3-8 Hwigyeong-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul
• Phone: +82-02-967-9595
• Operating hours: 11:00 – 21:30

3. Ihwa-won (이화원)

Operating for three generations, “Ihwa-won” is a renowned Chinese restaurant in Yeonhui-dong. Representing the gastronomy of Nopo, it is famous for its distinctive menu item, “Bichee Naengmyeon” or spinach noodles. The noodles are kneaded with spinach, giving them a green hue, hence the name “Bichee Naengmyeon.”
Unlike the typical peanut butter flavor in Chinese cold noodles, “Bichee Naengmyeon” offers a tangy and refreshing taste that may be somewhat unfamiliar but explodes with a rich broth that instantly dispels the heat.

One more recommendation is the “Sweet and Sour Pork,” deep-fried to perfection, delivering a delightful crispy exterior and a chewy texture inside when coated with the sauce.

Sweet and sour pork is delicious with Jjajangmyeon and Jjamppong. It also goes very well with ‘Chinese cold noodles’. If possible, I recommend eating sweet and sour pork with it.

• Address: 13 Yeonhuimat-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul
• Phone: 02-334-1888
• Operating hours: 11:30 – 22:00

We’ve compiled the top 3 Chinese restaurants in Seoul. It may be a little strange to call it ‘Chinese cold noodles’ in Korea, but it is a special taste that can only be tasted here, so be sure to visit.
A magical taste that you cannot escape from once you enter it. You will never regret it.
