12 Jjajangmyeon In Singapore To Try, Including Hawker Options From $7

5th March 2021

Jjajangmyeon in Singapore


Jjajangmyeon was the first dish I ate on my trip to Korea eons agoโ€”a fond memory of the beautiful country, as well as its vibrant food culture. This black bean noodle dish was inspired by the Chinese zhajiangmian, introduced by a Chinese immigrant living in Incheon more than a hundred years ago. While we canโ€™t travel to Korea right now, here are 12 jjajangmyeon in Singapore to try, including hawker options from $7.


1. Annyeong Chicken

Annyeong Chicken has spruced up our hawker scene with its offerings of Korean fare, including a savoury bowl of Jajang Myeon ($7). Here, the black bean sauce coats every yellow noodle strand, boasting a heavy onion flavour.ย 

For sides to go along with your jjajangmyeon, consider their Soy Garlic Chicken ($8 for three pieces), with crispy chicken doused in a savoury-sweet sauce. If not, opt for the Haemul Pajeon (from $10), otherwise known as seafood pancake.

2. SSAK3


Located in Bras Basah, SSAK3 is a Korean barbecue restaurant serving up affordable BBQ meats, Korean dishes, and alcohol. We really enjoyed their Jjajang Noodles ($10+) as the sauce was deeply flavoured, with hints of caramelisation.

Apart from the jjajangmyeon, we also recommend getting Planer Porkbelly ($12+ for 150g) to barbecue, along with Grilled Cheese ($4+) for extra indulgence. Meanwhile, if youโ€™re here in a group, their SSAK 3 Assorted Set ($40+ for 500g) makes for a good sharing platter, as it comprises beef short ribs, short plate, and two types of pork belly.

Jinjja Chicken is a Korean fried chicken restaurant chain, dishing up halal-certified Korean fare. Their Jjajang Myeon ($7.90) sees chewy noodles topped with black bean sauce, minced chicken sauce, and shredded cucumber. If youโ€™re someone who always canโ€™t decide between jjajangmyeon and jjamppong, of which the latter is a spicy seafood noodle soup, consider the Jjamjja Myeon ($11.90), which comes with half portions of each. While youโ€™re here, be sure to order their Jinjja Wings (from $7.90) to share!

Obba Jjajang is my favourite restaurant in Singapore to get jjajangmyeon. Priced at $13++, their Jjajangmyeon easily feeds two medium-sized eaters, and if thatโ€™s not enough, you can upsize the bowl for an additional $3++.ย 

For an authentic Korean-Chinese meal experience, consider getting the Set A ($50++) which comes with jjajangmyeon, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk. If youโ€™re not familiar with tangsuyuk, itโ€™s essentially deep-fried pork coated in a sweet-and-sour glaze.

You can get the jjajangmyeon in a set, along with tangsuyuk and your choice of jjamppong or stew, priced at $45++. If youโ€™re a fan of Korean pancakes, their Haemul Pajeon ($25++) makes for a great bite alongside your noodles.
