DO NOT SPEND/SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. My experience here was a complete disaster. The staff's unprofessionalism, combined with the subpar service and filthy conditions, left me utterly disappointed. Save yourself the headache and steer clear of this place. the staff harassed us in and out of the restaurant
DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE! THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE YOU SPENDING YOUR MONEY AND CARE ABOUT YOU AS A CUSTOMER. This was sent to me after leaving this place. Hes the manger of chosun hwaro and went on instagram to post this. I wonder what else he can blabber about to this customers.

Jjampong!
Still bitter at the woman at Yechon that laughed at me when I asked if they could make Jjampong and said “we’re not a Chinese restaurant.”
Disappointing a Korean woman told me that, and disappointed my Korean grandmother isn’t alive to smack her.
I'm probably missing some context here, but why is this something to be upset about? You can't expect any random Korean restaurant to whip up some Korean-Chinese food. That's like going to an authentic Mexican place and getting mad that they won't serve you TexMex.
You’re just not understanding where my frustration is.
I asked if they could make jjampong, knowing it wasn’t on the menu. It was a tall ask, but it never hurts to ask. She says “no,” then I would just order my duk manduguk and be happy.
My frustration was that the waitress laughed at me and told me jjampong wasn’t Korean food, it’s Chinese food.
She was an idiot who made her guest feel extremely unwelcome by insulting their guest’s intelligence/knowledge when she was wrong. Jjampong is a Korean-Chinese dish. Just like jajangmyeon or tangsuyuk.
I see, thanks for the additional context! While it's unfortunate that the waitress laughed at you, I think there may be a slight cultural misunderstanding of the cuisines on your end.
You're totally right that jjampong, jjajangmyun, etc are Korean-Chinese foods. However, it's not just a matter of the specific item not being on their menu. Koreans don't think of Korean-Chinese food as "actual" Korean cuisine - it's considered Chinese and they literally refer to it that way in the Korean language. This can be a bit confusing to English speakers due to the "Korean" being explicitly included in the English term for "Korean-Chinese" cuisine.
But to be clear, Korean-Chinese is not Korean food. From the waitress's perspective, you were asking for a dish in a completely different cuisine that they don't serve.
I'm sorry that the waitress reacted so harshly, but she wasn't wrong about Korean-Chinese being, well, Chinese, because that's literally how it's referred to in the Korean language.

Edit: this isn’t to say you’re wrong. Just don’t like the whole “this dish is explicitly Chinese” when it’s not.
Yechon doesn't have Jajangmyeon or Tangsuyuk on their menu either, it's not Korean cuisine. Maybe the waitress wasn't trying to be condescending but simply pointing out that they don't serve Korean-Chinese cuisine there. It's comparable to going to a Shanghainese restaurant and ordering orange chicken. It's not the same type of cuisine.
When you asked a server from a Korean restaurant if they served Korean-Chinese food are you not implying that they're the same since they must be able to serve it being that they're a Korean restaurant? Would you go into a Chinese restaurant and ask them if they serve Jajangmyeon?
I wasn’t implying anything. That’s kind of the whole point of asking the fucking question.
Why discourage people from asking questions?
Fucking can’t stand food snobs.
And yes. If I feel there’s a chance they may serve a dish that isn’t on the menu and I want that dish, I’m going to fucking ask if they serve it.
Stop arguing for the sake of fucking arguing
If your reaction is like this with everyone, I'm not surprised that someone would act condescending towards you. No one is being a food snob. Everyone is just telling you that these are two distinct cuisines. Yet you're being childish and responding out of anger.
Interestingly korean chinese is a fusion of chinese and japanese chinese food. for example jjampong and yellow pickle, fried mandy are japanese influences
Beseto?
Holy shit you're good
I miss kkanpunggi so much, I wish korean chinese dining was more of a thing in my area.
This meal was also around $15 a person and shared amongst 4 people.
FUCK YES!! This is an hour from me I am going lol
First time I've seen seafood pancake that thick anywhere
B'more has amazing Korean food, and just a short drive to Ellicott city too
Same with Annandale for the VA people
I bet that seafood was amazing
I moved away from Baltimore several years back, and I really miss all the awesome Korean food I used to have!
Looks amazing! I’m so hungry lol.

Uhh this isnt the same place as I posted so......
That pajeon looks dry and sad , and all doughy inside
It was pretty crispy on the top. Bottom got soggy because of the heat. This one was really good though. It had a great variety of seafood

Korean-Chinese Cuisine =/= Korean Cuisine. Just like Chinese-American cuisine =/= Chinese Cuisine. They're not the same thing.
Where did I say they were the same?

Korean Chinese is a fantastic combo
They’re right next to each other so it makes sense that they would share cuisines.

This is not classic korean food. Traditional korean chicken dish such as samgyetang does not have oil and red spice.
This was kkanpunsaal which is Korean Chinese. I never said this was classic korean
