# Songnim Banjeom, Jeju: Egg-Topped Jjajang Noodles and a Tall Pile of Tangsuyuk

Songnim Banjeom (송림반점) is a Korean-Chinese restaurant in Samdo 2-dong (삼도이동), Jeju City. Several reviewers on Polle (뽈레), a Korean review site, write about its ganjjajang (간짜장), a version of jjajangmyeon (짜장면, noodles in black bean sauce) with the sauce fried to order, which two of them say comes with a fried egg on top.

## The egg-topped jjajang noodles

My January 2022 photo shows what looks like ganjjajang: a black bowl of thin pale noodles in a little clear liquid, topped with julienned cucumber, sesame seeds and a fried egg with a broken yolk. A Polle review dated November 2019 says jjajangmyeon in Jeju used to come with a fried egg, and that it had become hard to find a genuine old-style jjajangmyeon restaurant that still does this. The same review says the sauce was freshly fried using only chunjang (춘장), black bean paste.

*Noodles coated in dark sauce, lifted with chopsticks.*

A reviewer who visited on November 14, 2024 says the ganjjajang came very quickly and tasted a little spicy, and that the way the egg sits on top sets it apart.

## Tangsuyuk and a red noodle soup

*A tall pile of fried tangsuyuk, with a bowl of amber sauce and a dish of red chili beside it.*

Tangsuyuk (탕수육) is battered, deep-fried pork with a sweet-and-sour sauce. In my photo, golden-brown pieces are piled high on a blue-striped oval plate, with the sauce in a separate white bowl: pale amber, with cabbage, dark pieces that look like wood-ear mushroom, and red pepper. One Polle reviewer says the tangsuyuk is dredged in flour and fried roughly, with many small pieces that the reviewer liked.

*A red noodle soup topped with a fried egg and sesame seeds.*

Jjamppong (짬뽕) is a spicy red noodle soup with seafood and vegetables. The red noodle soup in my photo looks like one: it is topped with a fried egg and sesame seeds, with bean sprouts, green vegetables and pieces that look like shrimp or squid.

## Prices and what to expect

Songnim Banjeom's menu on Polle, checked on November 14, 2026, lists jjajangmyeon at ₩5,000, ganjjajang at ₩6,000, jjamppong at ₩6,000, tangsuyuk at ₩15,000 and a large tangsuyuk at ₩20,000. The November 2024 reviewer paid ₩6,000 for ganjjajang and ₩1,000 for rice at Songnim Banjeom.

Songnim Banjeom's history runs about 70 years, the 2019 review says, the last 40 under its current owner. The reviewer who visited in November 2024 places Songnim Banjeom near Gwandeokjeong (관덕정) in old Jeju City. None of the pages I read list Songnim Banjeom's opening hours, so check a map app first. One Polle reviewer, whose post Polle showed as two years old on November 14, 2026, says Songnim Banjeom's staff asked for cash.
