We ordered the two people set consisting of noodles in black bean sauce (짜장면), and spicy seafood noodle soup (짬뽕), and deep fried pork w/ sweet sauce (탕수육).
I absolutely loved every part of every dish, the flavours were just absolutely perfect. Amazing value as the set was only $34 for three dishes to share between two people and the portion sizes were definitely more than satisfactory. Superb service and I can’t wait to come back again.
The dishes they have are sort of Koreanised Chinese dishes. Back in the 60-70s I guess, Chinese migrants in Korea invented(?) for Korean likings. My advise is before you come here don’t expect it’s Chinese restaurant instead it’s just another branch of Korean cuisine. You might be able to enjoy better :)

Came here at lunch time, hard to find carpark. We are seated immediately and ordered 2 people set menu plus fried dumplings. Food took a while to arrive but taste delicious. The jjampong is the highlight along with spicy chicken and the dumplings. The jjangmyun quite nice too. Can’t fault the taste and value of money for $45.
I always come here for their sweet and sour pork and trust me when i say they really have the best sweet and sour pork. Although over the years the serving has gone smaller, but that doesnt stop me from coming here cos the sweet and sour pork is just soo yummy. Staff is friendly too especially the lady owner.
One of my old time favourite Korean/chinese restaurant.
Consistently good food. Could be a bit of wait for dinner if it is busy. But once it is on the table, normally nothing left to take away as it is too tasty. Lady owner is super friendly.
Overall nice food with good service. Tried the spicy seafood noodle, deep fried chicken with sweet sauce and combination vegetable and seafood.
Definitely will come back!
I loveeeeee this places’ Jajjangmyun!!
If there’s nothing you want to order here, that’s something you have to order!
I came here and we ordered 2 large Jajjangmyun, Mandu and soup to share, it was very filling.
Downside is that the waitress didn’t speak a lot of English, so there was difficulty communicating, but she tried very hard. ☺️
I often get takeaway from here since the service is fast and the food is good. I finally decided to dine in today since I was in Wairau.
Service: 8/10
There weren’t any workers when we first walked in. You can click the button on the side to get their attention and they immediately come. The food was served within 15 minutes.
Food: 7/10
I got the combination fried rice and black bean noodle. The portion of fried rice was quite small compared to the noodles. I usually order the black bean noodle and these noodles were up to standard. They weren’t too salty even though there was a lot of sauce.
Ambiance: 7/10
It was quite dark inside and had a calm atmosphere. There was a lot of space and made me feel quite comfortable.
Overall, one of the best korean Chinese restaurants available on the shore. I will definitely be returning whenever I crave some black bean noodles.
Great food great service. Came on Saturday night and surprisingly it was not packed, quickly seated by a friendly waitress. We ordered a combo for two people which had vege noodle, black bean noodle and fried sweet and spicy pork for $34. The food was really good, I have no complaints except I wish there was more! Surprisingly the seafood noodle was really good, you could really taste the seafood and the flavours were spot on. The jajungmum(black bean noodle) had all the right flavours but it was a really small portion and the sauce was a bit watered down for my taste but it was still a solid 4/5. The sweet and spicy pork was 100/10, it was so crispy I was in shock and the flavours were perfect( it is not too spicy for those who don’t like spicy food.) overall great place, just wish the portions were bigger as well finished everything and could eat another bowl of noodles.
"Life is good! Life is good! I can finally 'have my cake and eat it'.
That was my actual expression when I saw the 2-in-1 bowl of black noodles and spicy seafood noodles option. Finally, a restaurant who knows their customers (like me).
The black noodles are good, but not the best I've tried. Spicy noodle is of good heat to my liking..they tend to be super spicy elsewhere.
Fried dumplings are average - skin is slightly too thick. In terms of portion, the large black noodle's serving is massive!
Overall, very friendly and warm service. Will go back there to try other dishes.
P/S; I'll give A+ for cleanliness
We ordered a set for two. Good for value. The texture of the noodles was amazing. Very tidy with warm service. We enjoyed the meal a lot 🤤
The owner is super kind and friendly!!!
We ordered set menu for 4.
Delicious food great service. We haven’t been anywhere else since discovering this gem.
Price is resonanle and portion was perfect 😍
Thank you 😊
Forgot to take a pic before eating so actual portion size is bigger than the photo.
Really really good Jjajangmyun and jjambbong. Also their tangsuyuk is the best in the shore with a perfect ratio of batter and meat. Reasonable price and great portion size. I was not a big fan of this place when it was in Wairau Valley in the past but now I am a huge fan. Taste of menu has improved a lot. I highly recommend their gochu jjambbong.
Our family comes here at least a few times a year I feel and it's always been good plus had something for anyone. Me, in particular, I naturally love any of the sweet n sour or spicy fried chicken or pork. First time I had 백세주 baekseju too! Guess I'm living to 100 now 😁
Good place for Korean Chinese cuisine. The 3 in 1 sets are great options for two people.
Clean place with friendly service. Delicious food as well. Would definitley recommend, best in the area.
Thought i would not be able to find this yummy korean seafood noodle shop again as it closed its Wairau shop. Happened to try the Northcote shop and yay!!! Missed it sooo much
All the dishes were fresh and we had a delicious dinner.
Amazing food especially if you like jajangmyeon. These guys moved from Wairau to Northcote. Same owners, same good food, same kind service. All my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the food here.
