Exploring the best restaurants in Jeongbalsan-dong Falling in love with the spicy taste of Ganjjamppong at Jukjanjjamppong Hello, I am a blogger who loves exploring restaurants! Today, I am going to share a review of the Ganjjamppong I tasted at Jukjanjjamppong, a hidden gem in Jeongbalsan-dong, Ilsan. If you are looking for a bowl of spicy and addictive Jjamppong near Jeongbalsan, this is a must-visit place. Let’s unravel the charm contained in a bite of hot Ganjjamppong! Weekly Jjamppong Basic Information Location: 43-20 Jeongbalsan-ro, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Central Plaza 106 Opening Hours: 11:00-21:00 every day (closed 2 days a week, check with store) Phone Number: 031-932-2812 Parking: Small parking lot available in front of the store, recommended to use nearby public parking lot Signature Menu: Ganjjamppong (spicy jjamppong in stir-fry style) Located near Western Dome in Jeongbalsan-dong, Weekly Jjamppong has a clean exterior that catches the eye at least once. It is a perfect location for a date or casual dining, blending in with the lively atmosphere of Bamridan-gil. There are a few parking spaces available in front of the store, but since the space is limited, we recommend using the public parking lot or public transportation. First Impression of the Store: Cozy and Clean Space The first thing you feel when you open the door and enter the store is the warm atmosphere. The neatly toned walls and wooden tables create a simple yet sophisticated feel. The spacing between tables was just right, so I was able to eat comfortably without worrying about being crowded next to me. The interior is clean and simple, but the dolls and handwritten menus that greet you at the entrance added a little sentimentality. The cleanliness of the store is perfect! The tables are clean, and the kitchen area is also clean, which made me look forward to the food even more. The smiling greetings from the staff also made my first impression even better. Menu and Order: Exploring the Charm of Ganjjamppong The signature menu of Weekly Jjamppong is definitely Ganjjamppong. It is a stir-fried jjamppong with almost no broth, and it is characterized by a spicy sauce and chewy noodles. I ordered Ganjjamppong (10,900 won) and Gunmandu (4,000 won). You can choose the spiciness of Ganjjamppong from level 1 to 3, but my friend who loves spicy food boldly chose level 2, and I who can’t stand spicy food chose level 3. I called 30 minutes before my arrival to make a reservation and it came out as soon as I arrived. I called in advance to make the weekly jjambbong because they said they cook it right after I ordered it. It’s a secret that I went there 30 minutes before closing time to make sure it was the last order. Today, I was able to eat late because they didn’t run out of ingredients. They sometimes close early when they run out of ingredients, so if you’re unlucky, they close early. I made a reservation in advance so I could enjoy it without waiting. The visual of the ganjjambbong on the plate was mouthwatering! Taste Review: Perfect Harmony of Spicy and Fiery Flavor The moment I first tasted ganjjambbong, my heart raced at the spicy scent that tickled my nose. The thin, chewy noodles were evenly mixed in the rich sauce, and I felt addicted with every bite. The sauce had a strong smoky flavor because it was a mixture of chili oil and various seasonings. This smoky flavor is the key to ganjjambbong! The flavor unique to Chinese cuisine filled my mouth. The ingredients were also generous. Onions, carrots, cabbage, and green onions were crunchy and added texture, and the pork pieces melted softly and added richness. In particular, the sweet taste of the onions harmonized with the spicy sauce, making me keep picking up my chopsticks. Level 1 of spiciness is about the same as Shin Ramyun Level 2 is more of a spice flavor than spicy, so it was easy to enjoy if you are not a spicy food lover. Those who like spicy food should try level 3! I also liked that it didn't leave a heavy feeling in my stomach after eating it because it was a style with little soup. I was able to finish it cleanly without the oily feeling that is typical of jjambbong. Personally, I think Ganjjambbong is a versatile menu that goes well with hot summer days and chilly weather. Side menu: Gunmandu It tastes like ready-made dumplings. However, it was perfect for neutralizing the spiciness of Ganjjambbong. It is good for two people to share. Service: A place where kindness stands out The staff at Weekly Jjambbong were really kind. When ordering, they explained the spiciness level in detail, so it was easy to choose. They refilled the water right away when I ran out during my meal, and they cleaned up my empty plates quickly, so I was able to enjoy my meal comfortably. In particular, I was impressed by their smile that never lost its charm even when there were many customers. However, during lunch time (12:00~1:30), it can be a bit crowded. I visited before closing time on a weekday and enjoyed it leisurely, but please note that there may be a waiting time during peak times. It is also a good idea to call in advance to check if reservations are available. Atmosphere and visiting tips The restaurant has a casual and comfortable atmosphere overall. It is a comfortable space to eat alone or with friends or a lover. Since it is near the lake park, it is perfect for taking a walk or going on a cafe tour after eating. As a visiting tip, if possible, I recommend going after 2:00 PM or before 6:00 PM to avoid peak times. Parking can be difficult, so it is convenient to use public transportation (10 minutes walk from Jeongbalsan Station) or a public parking lot. Overall Review: Remembering Jeongbalsan-dong with Ganjjamppong Jooganjjamppong's Ganjjamppong completely captivated my taste buds with its spicy flavor and chewy noodles. With its clean store, friendly service, and reasonable price, it has become a must-visit restaurant in Jeongbalsan-dong. If you want to enjoy a different kind of Jjamppong near Bamridan-gil, Jukjeonjjamppong is a choice you will never regret! Pros: Addictive spicy Ganjjamppong Clean store and friendly staff Reasonable price and fast service Cons: Parking is limited. Possible waiting during lunch hours If you are craving a spicy meal while on a trip to Jeongbalsan or a date at the lake park, try a bowl of Ganjjamppong at Jukjeonjjamppong. Please leave a comment about your visit. #Tastestagram #IlsanRestaurant #Ganjjamppong

#Gyeonggi-do travel #Ilsan #Lake park #Pizza ☝️ Address: 43-20 Jeongbalsan-ro, Central Plaza 102 ✌️Opening hours: -> Closed on Mondays! -> Weekdays 11:30 ~ 21:30 15:30 ~17:00 Break time. 14:30. 20:30 Last order. -> Weekends (Sat, Sun) 11:30 ~ 21:30. (No break time) 20:30 Last order. Hello~ Today, I went to 'Poppolo Pizza', a famous oven pizza restaurant in Ilsan~ If you pass by Ilsan Mi Gwangwanjang, there is a store with an unusually long line of people! There is no signboard and it looks like a store, but it is Popolo Pizza😃 You can tell right away that it is a great store just by looking at the blue ribbon and pizza competition award at the entrance🙂 On-site waiting is possible from 10:30 AM, but there is a high chance that you will wait too long, so I recommend using the 'Catch Table' app. Catch Table opens at 11:30 AM, and on weekends, the waiting for the day is over in less than a minuteㅠ But! It must be because it is so delicious that many people flock there?! I also had patience and persistence, and after 5 attempts, I..finally. visited today😛 I received number 117 and was able to enter around 4:30 PM. There are many menus, and after analyzing many reviews! I chose 2 pizzas 'Popolo Classica', 'Marinara' Pasta 'Spaghetti al Pesto' Drink 'Grapefruit Soda' Popolo Classica is Popolo Pizza's signature menu, a pizza made with good basil, 36-month aged cheese, tomatoes, etc. The moment I put it in my mouth, I could feel that it was a really luxurious pizza full of sincerity. Marinara is a pizza that is faithful to the basics, and it was cheap and didn't even have cheese in it? How could it taste like this? It was so delicious that I wondered. And then I came across Spaghetti al Pesto.. ....It was crazy.. It was a really amazing pasta that I can't describe in words, and I couldn't eat it anywhere else. I definitely recommend you try it!! I almost had to wait again if I hadn't ordered it?! Definitely! Definitely!! The grapefruit soda has a really strong grapefruit flavor. It's a grapefruit drink that tastes better than most cafes and tastes like something you'd eat overseas. I highly recommend this one too! I ate every last drop without leaving a single drop! I also got a pizza to-go for my parents😛 Would I visit Popolo Pizza again?!! 15000%! Actually, if I could just get through the waiting line, I'd come here hundreds of times.. But the waiting line was so hard that it was hard ㅠㅠ Let's all pray earnestly for the owner to open a second and third branch?! For this reason, if you really want to eat it, I recommend take-out! (It's too bad that pasta can't be taken out.. but pizza ㅠㅠ) That's it! Enjoy a slice of Naples in Ilsan, Popolo Pizza, I hope you visit ~~~ I'm going to take my leave now😀 *Before you go, pick up some tips~~👇👇 * Packaging Tip: Packaging takes about 20 minutes to make, so it takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour! Since they don't give separate notices, you have to go in and check it yourself when you get there ㅠ

On-site waiting starts at 10:30! You can pick up the package by phone or visit within 40-1 hourㅎㅎ Recommended pizza menu is 1. Popolo Classica, topped with eggplant, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheese, sooooooo delicious! I recommend it✨!! Recommended pasta menu is 2. Pesto di Rucola!

🖕Location: 27 Jeongbalsan-ro, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, 1st floor Tim Hortons Ilsandong-gu Office Branch ✌️Business hours: Weekdays 7:00~21:30 Weekends 8:00~21:00 Tim Hortons flying in from Canada! This was such welcome news to me, who lived in Canada. Tim Hortons, famous for its cheap and delicious coffee. In particular, the Ice Cap (Ice Cappuccino) is so delicious that I have been drinking it at least once a week while taking a walk to reminisce. ㅎㅎ Today~ I tried the new 'Flat White' and it was so delicious. These days, even if you go to a regular cafe, the menu is over 7,000 won, but it tastes even better when you eat it on the main street for 5,000 won, which is cheaper. ㅎㅎ I highly recommend the Ice Cap and Flat White to Trip.com users, and I'll leave~~ 😃 Tim Hortons revisit intention 20,000% #Cafe #Domestic travel #Ilsan #Tim Hortons

💫Tim Horton Coffee💫 ✔️ Location: 27 Jeongbalsan-ro 1st floor Tim Horton Ilsandong-gu Office ✔️ Business hours: Weekdays 7:00~21:30 / Weekends 8:00~21:00 Let me introduce you to a coffee franchise that is really rare in Korea!

Ice Cap (slush-like taste made by grinding coffee) 2. Montreal (Canadian cream coffee with a shot added to a toffee nut latte)! Aside from these menus, other coffees are also really delicious☕️🤍 It's a shame that it first landed in Korea in 2023 and people don't know about it..😢 If there's a Tim Hortons around you, be sure to stop by and try the Ice Cap❗️ 🎶 As a side note, if you're visiting the Ilsandong-gu Office branch, I recommend taking out Tim Hortons and taking a walk around the lake park💟 #CoffeeRestaurant #CafeRecommendation

The flower expo will be held for a total of 17 days from April 25 to May 11. I was satisfied because there were many events and things to see.

#cherryblossom25 Ilsan Lake Park is one of the largest man-made parks in Korea and an absolute joy during cherry blossom season. I was amazed by how the park blends urban design with natural beauty. The long lakeside paths are lined with blooming cherry trees that reflect on the water, making for gorgeous photos. I saw couples renting swan boats, families having picnics, and solo visitors like me just enjoying the view. There are flower gardens, fountains, and cafés throughout the park. It’s super accessible and perfect for a full-day spring outing without leaving the city. Highly recommended for easy, scenic vibes.

Ilsan Lake Park is a park with an artificial lake that Ilsan citizens often visit. The park is quite large, so it takes more than an hour to walk around it, and there are various plants and trees inside the park, so it is a place where you can feel green and healed. Many people come out to ride bicycles or have picnics, and flower festivals are held depending on the season, making it a great place to visit. #March Travel Support Fund Event

They stand quietly on the lawn and by the lake, waiting for visitors to interpret the stories behind them, leaving endless room for imagination. As night falls, the musical fountain takes center stage. With the rhythm of the music, the water columns rise and fall, sometimes dancing like silver snakes, sometimes blooming like fireworks.

Hey everyone, today I want to share an amazing place with you - Ilsan Lake Park, located near Kintex in Goyang 🎉! This park is truly vast and boasts comprehensive facilities. Here, you'll encounter a diverse array of people enjoying life. Some ride bikes, relishing the wind whistling past their ears; some run, exuding energetic sweat; others walk barefoot, feeling the earth's warmth; and many stroll leisurely with their adorable pets. Everyone respects each other's space, immersed in their own little worlds, creating a harmonious and comfortable scene. And when autumn arrives, this place transforms into a picturesque masterpiece. Maple leaves, like a vibrant sunset glow, adorn the park in a tapestry of colors. The gentle autumn breeze rustles the leaves, as if whispering tales of autumn romance. Stepping into this scene is like entering a dreamy fairytale world, leaving one utterly captivated. Hey everyone, if you're looking for a place to relax and admire beautiful scenery during your leisure time, Ilsan Lake Park is definitely worth a visit 💖.

The beautiful lake park with different characteristics in each season has various flowers planted in the park, so you can see flowers that match the season, and the walking path is well-made around the artificial lake, so it's a great place to walk or ride a bike! My favorite thing is to sit and have a picnic + watch the sunset🥹 The lake park is pretty with flowers and plants, but the sunset reflected on the lake during sunset is dazzlingly romantic..! And at night, the lights come on, so you can enjoy another night view, so I recommend staying all day.🙂 📍Ilsan Lake Park #March Travel Support Event #Gyeonggi-do Travel

#Seoul Itinerary Starting from Seoul, from Ilsan Lake Park in Goyang City to the Hallyu Star Theme Park, this journey allows people to feel the perfect fusion of nature and culture. Yishan Lake Park is a great place for citizens to relax. The vast lake and green lawns make people relax instantly. Then head to the Hallyu Star Theme Park, which is themed on Hallyu culture and has many star statues and interactive facilities. Whether you are a fan of Korean dramas or K-pop fans, you can find your own fun here. Watching tourists leisurely strolling in the park or taking excited photos in the theme park, I can't help but sigh that this journey is not only an exploration of nature, but also a deep experience of culture. A one-day trip to Goyang City allows people to find balance and surprises between nature and culture. #Goyang City #Ilsan Lake Park #Korean Star Theme Park #Nature and Culture #Gyeonggi Province Travel

#OutdoorDate When I went on a date to Goyang-si, I was looking for an outdoor date and ended up going to a Japanese house-style cafe It was so nice because it had a Japanese feel 📍Shikasa Address: 42 Sanghwang-ro, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si Business hours 10:00 - 20:00 Last order 19:30 Parking available First of all, it's not a structure you see often. A Japanese house? It's a cafe with a Japanese feel It's a cafe made of wood It's quite emotional and there were a lot of people on the weekends. The wood-like lighting gave it a warm feeling, so it was cozy This is a great place for salt bread!! Myeongran salt bread is a total hit!!!🥖 We ate inside and then went outside~~~~ Since it was outdoors, the view was nice, the weather was nice, and it was a great date!! If you're going to Goyang, please go there once 😉#Ilsan #Goyang

#Seoul Attractions At the Ilsan Lake Park Boulevard in Goyang City, South Korea, I experienced unparalleled romance and tranquility. This emerging European-style street combines the elegance of the Champs-Elysées in Paris with the natural scenery of London's Hyde Park, making people feel as if they are in a foreign country. Walking here, you are surrounded by lush green trees and the fresh air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, which makes people want to take a deep breath and their mood instantly becomes happy. The design of the tree-lined avenue in Yishan Lake Park takes into account the feelings of every visitor. The streets were lined with unique shops and cafes, and although some of the stores had not yet opened, the overall atmosphere was still intoxicating. As the sun sets, the lights under the blue eaves gradually light up, and the white and golden side lights are intertwined, just like the starry sky descending, making every step full of poetry. Here, I feel not only the visual beauty, but also the spiritual satisfaction. Whether it is sharing a moment of laughter with friends or a moment of quietly appreciating the scenery alone, this place can make people feel the beauty of life. Seeing people taking photos here and sharing each other's happiness made me deeply realize the meaning of travel: it is not only about reaching the destination, but also about sharing those unforgettable moments with others. The boulevard in Yishan Lake Park is not only a tourist attraction, but also a place that can touch the soul. Looking forward to the days ahead, this place will become more prosperous and lively, and become the dream place in the hearts of more people. Transportation: Take Subway Line 3 to Juye Station and walk for about 10 minutes #KoreaTravel #Goyang #Ilsan Lake Park #Romantic Street #TravelSharing

Overall, the taste was good, but it wasn't amazing. Just so-so. The spicy soft tofu stew was average, and the cheonggukjang was actually better. However... Usually, places that make their own tofu give out samples of tofu and bean curd for free and show the process, but this place doesn't do that. It's not that I like free stuff. Haha. All my reviews are paid for with my own money. Usually, places that make their own tofu give out bean curd in bags for customers to take home. This indicates that they make the tofu on-site. Anyway, it's worth visiting once, but I'm not sure about a second time. Haha. I usually verify a restaurant by visiting three times. I plan to visit during the busy lunch hour, once between lunch and dinner, and once during dinner time to get an average. Address: Kong-ae-ga Ilsan Main Branch 606 Hosu-ro, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Kolon Lakepolis 1st A-dong

#OutdoorDate A good restaurant to visit on your anniversary in Ilsan I recommend Tenne Room Bamridan-gil✨️✨️. It's a place where you can have a luxurious atmosphere, interior, and a delicious meal. ✅️Recommended menus are Guanza Cream Pasta and Salchisal Steak. The Salchisal Steak is 41,000 won, which is a reasonable price, but it's also a lot and soft. 📍Tenne Room, 1st floor, 5-9 Daesan-ro 11beon-gil, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do

#HolidayTravel “Heehee Ilsan”, located on the first floor of 10 Ilsan-ro 394beon-gil, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, is a cafe with a cozy and emotional atmosphere. The neat and stylish interior makes it great for taking pictures, and there are beautifully plated desserts and drinks. It’s a great place to come alone or with friends to spend some leisurely time.

Ilsan Lake Park offers a different experience every time you visit, with various flower festivals and cultural events held each season. Pets are allowed, but they must be on a leash and you must bring waste bags! Parking is paid, but you can also reach the park by walking from Jeongbalsan Station or Juyeop Station on Subway Line 3. It's also a great place for biking!

#OutdoorDate Ilsan Lake Park is a great park for taking a walk or having a picnic. It is the largest lake park in Korea and is also great for riding a bike. There are many facilities in the park, such as a rose garden and a singing fountain, so there are many things to see. It is a good idea to make a plan in advance and visit on weekends and public holidays because many people gather.🤗🤗 A place where you can feel like you have traveled far away #Ilsan Lake Park
