Kang Chon Chinese Korean - Auckland

Came with a group of friends specifically for the jajangmyeon, the black Korean noodles. We all ordered a noodle each and shared some of the special dishes. Think that because we were a large group that the special dishes came out first and the noodles came out afterward. Usually, you eat the dishes with the noodles. I wasn't particularly fond of the sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk), I didn't like the flavour of the sauce. The chicken with vegetables (kkanpunggi) was ok, same with the stir-fried seafood and vegetables (palbochae). I quite liked the yangjangpi, a seafood salad with a mustardy dressing.<br/ <br/ I had tried the jajangmyeon before and didn't like it since it tasted too much of black bean but this one was quite nice. A really subtle flavour and nice noodles. A friend had the tray jajang which was nicer since it was a bit drier and had a little heat to it. Quite a good place for Korean noodles.

Original: We had 3 most common dishes. Black bean sauce noodle, seafood spicy soup and fried rice. Spicy noodle soup was quiet nice. But black bean sauce noodle and fried rice was terrible to be frank. Food potion was very small hence two of us ordered 3 dishes. Won’t come back. 2 star because staff service was good. Update: improved. Everything I said above changes. Real tasty and will be my go to place!

Reviews recommended seafood so I ordered the Spicy seafood noodle soup and it was heavenly! So full of flavour and spice was just right! the only fault is that there was barely any seafood.  I'm not actually sure if that's just how the dish is supposed to be or that it was just lacking the meat!  Also ordered the Ganjajang and I actually had no idea what it was, it's just that we thought we'd try something else with meat in it. I thought they had given me the wrong dish because there was no meat! but on closer inspection, I realised the meat was diced up super tiny I could barely taste it let alone see it.  I didn't actually like the second dish because it tasted like msg flavour.  Too bad I can't speak Korean so I could communicate with staff.  This place deserves a 3.5.

It took a while for waiting but worth. A lot of Korean families went. Our Korean friend said it was so good especially the seafood dishes. Actually it is. The prawn u can tell it is so fresh and saucy, the Udon soup is a little bit spicy but okay.

Great value korean chinese food had jjampong and black bean noodles. Texture of noodles were really good. Broth was adequately spicy. Could do with more seafood/meat in the dish though... Restaurant seems rather popular, and had many Koreans in it at dinner time. Do note that they close on Mondays and Tuesdays!
