Hong Kong BanJeom

When Koreans celebrate an event, jjajiang myeon, black soybean noodles, is a go-to. The  Chinese-Korean restaurant is especially popular among families because the store provides both spicy and non-spicy alternatives. Along with black soybean noodles, the store also sells jjampong, a spicy Korean noodle soup with spicy seafood and tangsuyuk, a meat dish with sweet and sour sauce. According to Yang Hu, a Northwood senior who works part-time at Hong Kong Banjeom, these non-spicy options are a hit among students and families.

“Most students that I see get one jjajiang myeon because that’s the cheapest option here,” Hu said. “Tangsuyuk is also popular for families.”

When it comes to choosing your comfort meal or trying something new, the food court has something to offer to everyone, regardless of age, preferences and spice tolerance. If you haven’t checked it out already, perhaps give the Northpark H-Mart a try—these Korean dishes will draw your taste buds into a whole new world.
