성수장 A 1985 neighbourhood Chinese-Korean restaurant behind Seongsu station, known for glutinous-rice tangsuyuk and a jjamppong that is not red.
Data as of · Published ·
A Chinese-Korean restaurant in the Dongseong Building, down an alley from exit 2 of Seongsu station. Three writers date it to 1985, and the sign outside advertises glutinous-rice tangsuyuk. It fills at weekday lunch with people who work nearby, and it closes Saturday and Sunday — one visitor arrived at the weekend, found it shut and ate next door instead. There are chairs and tables in the front room and a separate floor-seated room behind a sliding door. Alongside the jjajangmyeon, jjamppong and tangsuyuk, the board still carries ulmyeon, denppura and gochu-japchae, and two writers read the shop's age off those names.

What sets it apart
- The shop's own banner is for glutinous-rice tangsuyuk — and it is exactly that batter people describe in opposite terms. Four call it thin and crisp; three say the glutinous coating is chewy rather than crisp, or not crisp enough, or soft on the outside as well as in. They ordered different sizes in different years. Some things nobody disputes: the sauce comes on the side without asking, three writers note no porky smell, and shredded cabbage comes alongside. Two describe the owner mixing soy sauce with chilli powder for them as well.
- The jjamppong here is not red. Five writers describe the broth as clear, pale, or mild in an old-fashioned way, and five say outright that it is not spicy. Only one calls it pleasantly hot — and in that post her companion found it too much. There is praise for how much vegetable goes in and for squid that does not turn to mush, but one writer states it plainly: if you want your jjamppong thick, red, hot and strongly seasoned, she does not recommend this one. With this bowl, what matters most is arriving with the right expectation.
- More than ten writers reach for the word *nopo* — an old shop — but each points at something different: the floor-seated room behind a sliding door (six posts), the warmth coming up through that floor, the sacks of noodle flour stacked in view (two posts), an apron on a wall hook, soju glasses with the lettering worn off, and a 110V socket still in the wall. One writer sums the room up as honest tables and no interior design at all; another notes the air conditioner is not inside but out. Three describe one man taking every order, carrying every dish and ringing up every bill by himself.

Parking is described differently in every post. Two say there is no dedicated space, or none at all; one says you can park in front of the shop — and then recommends the KT Seongsu public lot instead, to be safe. Another says space is tight and you should find a nearby paid lot. Getting here without a car, though, is well documented: six writers give four to five minutes on foot from exit 2 of Seongsu station, two of them down to 282 and 283 metres. One walked fifteen minutes from Ttukseom station and suggests coming from Seoul Forest station instead.

Getting there
Getting inside
No writer mentions a floor or a staircase. One post copies the address as *Dongseong Building, first floor*, but that is an address line — nobody describes going up or down to get there. Two writers say you can see straight into the room through the glass from outside, which suggests street level, but that tells us nothing about a step at the door. No post mentions a lift.
Nobody writes about a step at the door, a ramp, or whether a wheelchair or a pram gets in. One thing is worth flagging: the back room is behind a sliding door and you sit on the floor, and although six writers describe that room, not one says whether shoes come off or whether there is a raised edge to step over. We will not guess. What is certain is that there are ordinary chairs and tables in the front room.
Not one writer mentions the toilet. Of the seventeen who ate here, none says where it is, whether it is inside the shop or out in the building corridor, or whether men's and women's are separate. The shop sits inside an office building, and we do not know whether it shares the building's facilities. Several of these posts describe the room in real detail — one gets as far as the apron on the wall and the 110V socket — and the toilet appears in none of them.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 25 posts we gathered, 8 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Prices rose steadily over two years, and in one place two posts a month apart disagree. Jjajangmyeon went from ₩7,500 (October 2024) to ₩8,000 (December 2024); the small tangsuyuk from ₩20,000 to ₩21,000. Jjamppong is ₩9,000 in an October 2024 post and ₩8,500 in a November 2024 one, then ₩9,500 (December 2024 and January 2026) and ₩10,000 (March 2026) — and the March 2026 writer says so himself, noting the board had gone up since his last visit. Whether it is dear is also disputed: four find it a little steep for a neighbourhood Chinese place, two think it fair for Seongsu. Do not treat the figures here as today's.
- Two writers raise hygiene, and neither favourably. One saw a cockroach on the way out and, while granting that every restaurant has them, did not want to see one; she left her return in doubt. Another writes only that, this being an old place, she turned a blind eye. Not one of the seventeen who ate here says it was clean — the single post that calls the room spotless is a list post written without going. The other fifteen say nothing about it.
- Around noon you may have to wait. Four writers met a queue — one arrived at 12:30 and waited ten minutes, one says it happens now and then, one was told it happens often, and one gave up on a first attempt and came back another day. Two found no queue at all: both had deliberately come outside the lunch hour. Two writers count the tables, and they disagree — ten against thirteen. Two say the room turns over fast, and one had food on the table within ten minutes. Two advise arriving at 11:30 or after one o'clock.
- "Good" and "nothing special" stand side by side here. Not a Seongsu destination but a place that reminds you of the past; a Chinese place where you can have a perfectly fine meal; less *delicious* than *this is what the old taste was like*; the rice-and-noodle side was so-so; not so good that you must eat only here. Five writers, in five different phrasings, say the same thing — and the same people say they would come back for the tangsuyuk and the denppura. This is not a shop to sort into good or bad as a whole.
- Nine of the twenty-six posts are not counted as visits. Six are Seongsu restaurant round-ups; one of those is titled *the Seoul restaurant list ChatGPT gave me*, and another tags every entry *AI-generated photo, for reference only*. One claims to be a paying regular but never says what was eaten on this occasion, filling in boxes for location, prices, tips and verdict instead — and describes the jjamppong broth as thick and bracing, the exact opposite of the pale, clear broth the ten people who actually ate it report. The last two are one visit written up twice: published two days apart on different blogs, with the same arrival time, the same ten-minute wait, the same three dishes and the same three-point verdict word for word — and the table count given as ten in one and thirteen in the other. So the denominator on this page is seventeen, not twenty-six.
