Hwang Sil: Reviews & Ratings
My family tried every single jjajangmyun house in the area, and this was the best one they've found. Food did not disappoint! Started off with fried dumplings and kampoongi (deep fried chicken w hot pepper sauce). Dumplings were pretty bomb. For main dishes we tried both the gan jjajang and jaengban jjajang. Both were delicious, but if you want a darker black bean taste I would recommend the gan jjajang. Main reason why I wouldn't give 5 stars is for wait. Place was pretty empty and we were seated right away but took about 25 min to get our appetizers. Otherwise, this is a solid Korean Chinese restaurant to visit!
Came here after 1pm and managed to avoid the lunch crowd. Welcomed by their friendly staff and ordered the recommended dishes, Jjajjangmyeon (black bean paste noodles) and Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) Taste exactly like what I've ate in Korea but only that the noodles are slightly thicker, reminds me of thin udon haha The Tangsuyuk sauce was served separately which will keep ya deep fried pork crispy throughout ya dining experience. Overall, if you wanna try the Korean-Chinese dishes, drop by and try their food!

The restaurant has become particularly celebrated for its jjajangmyun (black bean paste noodles), a dish that has sparked rave reviews from satisfied diners. Customer Jooy C. enthusiastically remarks that Hwang Sil's jjajangmyun is the best they've encountered among local competitors. The depth of flavor in both the gan jjajang and jaengban jjajang pulls you in, with the dark, rich taste of the gan jjajang being specially recommended for those who enjoy a more intense sauce.
Begin your meal with delicious fried dumplings and the unforgettable kampoongi, which consists of tender deep-fried chicken glistening in a juicy hot pepper sauce. Jooy C. describes these dumplings as 'bomb', a fitting tribute to their crisp exterior and satisfying filling.
Another favorite—the Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork)—has been highlighted by Janice Shalom L. for its authentic taste, echoing flavors found in Korea. The separate serving of sauce ensures the crispy texture, allowing you to savor the dish at your own pace. Janice’s experience underscores the restaurant's commitment to authenticity, with the noodles’ slightly thicker texture drawing a whimsical comparison to udon.
