Jjajang & Jjamppong Korean RestaurantAntipolo in Rizal

"This is our 2nd time here. The price is not expensive but their food is super legit. I want to gate keep it for myself because I love their food. We ordered egg jjim (Steam egg), jjajangmyeon (Its like thick noodles with black bean sauce and it's my most favorite), fried dumplings (I forgot what's it's called) and lastly their jjampong (Perfect with cold weather ). We will always go back to this restaurant."

"The best authentic Korean Restaurant!!!! Served and prepared by no less than the Korean owner chef. All dishes are a must try. Generous servings and affordable pricing! Will definitely go back"

"Authentic Chinese-Korean restaurant. Big servings. Local Korean vibe. Great and accommodating owner and staff. They would serve you tea while waiting for your order even when it's for take out. Best sellers are must haves. Their take out package is like the ones in Korea - food is secure Definitely recommended!"

"Located along a commercial street, Don’s Jjajang is easy to spot thanks to its large illuminated sign and clear branding. While I didn’t notice specific signage for parking, the area appears to be accessible by public transport and walkable for locals. The entrance is wide with a glass door, allowing for easy access, although there’s no obvious ramp for wheelchairs. ⸻ Parking & Exterior There doesn’t seem to be designated parking in front, so visitors may need to find nearby street parking or paid lots. The exterior gives off a clean, modern Korean fast-casual vibe, with visible red and black color themes and a welcoming cartoon-style logo that stands out. ⸻ Interior & Ambience The restaurant’s interior is bright and clean, with red chairs and neatly arranged tables. A neon sign on the back wall adds a pop of color and gives off a trendy, Instagram-friendly aesthetic. • Seating: Moderate number of tables, spaced reasonably apart. • Ambience: Light chatter and kitchen sounds in the background—neither too quiet nor too noisy. • Comfort: Air conditioning was functioning well, and the space felt well-ventilated. • Restrooms: Not clearly visible from the dining area, so availability and cleanliness unknown. ⸻ Service Quality Staff were polite and attentive. Food was served relatively quickly considering the variety we ordered. One of the staff members also gave a quick recommendation when asked about popular dishes, which helped us decide. Plates were cleared promptly, and requests for water or side dishes were accommodated with a smile. ⸻ Menu & Variety The menu is impressively extensive for a casual Korean spot. • Main categories: Jjajangmyeon, Jjamppong, rice dishes, fried items, stews, and Shabu-shabu. • Notable options: Jjamjamyeon (half jjajang, half jjamppong), Haemul bokkeumbab (seafood fried rice), and Yangjangpi (cold seafood platter). • Price range: ₱200–₱1800, depending on the dish and portion size. Menu readability is good with both pictures and prices clearly displayed. English names help non-Korean speakers navigate easily. ⸻ Food Review We tried a good variety of dishes to sample the flavors. Here’s the breakdown: Gogijjamppong (₱320) A rich, spicy broth filled with a generous amount of meat and vegetables. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the soup packed a deep umami flavor with a bit of seafood brininess. Ideal for spice lovers. Tangsuyuk (₱580 medium) Deep-fried pork strips served with a separate sweet and sour sauce full of pickled vegetables. The batter was light and crispy, not oily, and the sauce had a nice balance—sweet but not overpowering. Kkanpunggi (₱580 medium) A highlight! Crispy chicken bites tossed in a spicy garlic sauce with a hint of sweetness. Topped with sesame seeds, the dish was flavorful and addictive. This one disappeared fast from our table. Ganjjajang (₱320) A dry-style black bean noodle dish. The sauce was thick, savory, and full of stir-fried onions and cabbage. The noodles were springy and held the sauce well. Served separately from the noodles, which makes it easier to mix. ⸻ Pricing & Value • Average cost per person: Around ₱400–₱600 • Portion size: Generous, especially when ordering medium-sized shared plates. • Value: Very good for the price. Quality ingredients and flavorful dishes justify the cost. No hidden service charge noted on the receipt. ⸻ Overall Impressions • Overall Rating: (4.5/5) • Would I return? Absolutely. The food quality, service, and pricing make this spot a great casual Korean option. • Recommended For: • Korean food lovers • Friends or casual group dinners • Families looking for hearty meals • Instagram-savvy diners (the interiors are very photo-friendly)"

They’re able to keep it budget-friendly for the quality and portion sizes you get. And the staff is incredibly helpful and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.

"Authentic Korean food in Antipolo! We just randomly found this in Grab when we were craving for Jjangmyeon, when we found the place (located on the second floor) we were surprised that they have a wide range of menu and all of them are perfectly cooked and tastes authentic! Their soups are a must try! The owners are nice as well."

"The Jjamppong offered a delightful explosion of flavors, blending succulent beef and seafood in a perfectly spiced broth. The chicken Kkangpunggi (small plate) was also wonderful, and its sweet flavor provided a good contrast to the jjamppong. The kimchi provided a harmonious balance of tanginess and heat. Highly recommended for an authentic Korean culinary experience!"

"Authentic Korean restaurant in Antipolo. We were the only Filipino group while the entire restaurant was full of Koreans. Lots of options and the prices are very reasonable. If you are craving Korean food in Antipolo, this is a really good option."
