Do you like it? Because I think it's delicious. I never hear foreigners talking about it, so I am curious...

I love jangjangmyeon but I've found myself very disappoint with the stuff I've tried here besides the stuff my school serves up. I grew up on my Mom's jangjang and I make it myself, so it's hard to find something that compares.

It's cheap nasty junk food............But, unlike most junk food, it doesn't even taste good!!!

Worst 'Chinese' food in the world.

I never let it darken my door.

Nasty stuff! Luckily I was not single on the 14th of this month. Some of the better Chinese places serve a "Szechwan"" jjajjang which is slightly less awful.

I like it but I'm baffled by it's popularity. I mean, it's pretty good, it's not like it's fantastic.

I'll eat it, but I won't go out of my way to.

I don't mind about half of the standard bowl, but it has to be piping hot. Once it gets down to room temperature, it turns into a goopy disgusto mess.

Usually have it at least once a week.

omoni restaurant - there's one just east of sinsa station in gangnam on dosan dae ro - has the absolute best ja jang myun ever.

any detractor of the noble dish would become a convert after dining there.

My whitey wife loves it, so I voted "yes" for her since she no longer haunts these hallowed halls.

I honestly think it's her favorite food. When we were there, she ate it, minimum, once a week. Now that we're home, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

She saw an article on black day a couple of days ago. She was hell of chafed. Talked about driving two hours to get a mix from the nearest Korean grocery.

Don't like it. The Korean version of Kraft Dinner, all right when you're a kid. My opinion. I like the "bokkumbap" with the black sauce though from "Chinese" restaurants.
