The Soul Chinese Restaurant of Sewoon Shopping Center Merchants for Quick Delivery When Busy

This video samples gan-jajang, jjamppong, and sweet-and-sour pork at Donghaeru, a long-established Chinese restaurant near Sewoon Shopping Center.

An old-style Chinese restaurant in Jangsa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, introduced mainly through its gan-jajang, jjamppong, and sweet-and-sour pork.

Taste notes from the video

The gan-jajang has an ordinary flavor that is neither too salty nor too sweet. The jjamppong is old-style and packed with squid and vegetables, but the lukewarm broth was disappointing. The sweet-and-sour pork is more moist than crispy, and the meat is said to have a good texture.
