Jung-gu · Euljiro / old-school Korean-Chinese noodle house

Andongjang

안동장

Opened in 1948 and still run by the same Chinese-Korean family three generations later, Andongjang is widely cited as Korea's oldest Chinese restaurant. It sits in the heart of Euljiro's older commercial blocks, a five-minute walk from the neighborhood's famous alley bars, and offers a calmer, sit-down alternative to them.

What to know before ordering

The building has private rooms upstairs for groups, but walk-ins are welcome on the ground floor — go slightly off peak lunch hour (12:00–13:00) to skip the wait.

For allergies or dietary restrictions, ask the restaurant about ingredients and preparation before ordering.
