Noodle J-1 - S San Diego

Hong Kong Bam Jum is located inside Zion Market's food court and is a good spot to grab Korean food when you want something fast. There are tables available to eat but I ordered to go. My food was made and packed in 10 minutes after I ordered, so they work really fast. I ordered the Jajangmyun (black bean sauce with noodles) and the Jajangbap (black bean sauce with rice and an egg omelette on top) and they were good portions and kept well during the drive home. The dish also came with their yellow radish as well. We ended up liking the noodles more than the rice dish but both have the same sauce on top. Overall, this is where you want to go to go when you're craving Korean style Jajangmyun.

I've had Paik's Noodles in LA before, and my wife and I were craving Korean food during our weekend trip in San Diego. I was specifically craving jajangbap, and I noticed there was a Hong Kong Ban Jum at the Zion Market in Kearny Mesa. So my wife and I stopped in the food court at Zion Market and ordered Korean food for lunch.My wife had the spicy jjampong and I had the jajangbap without shrimp. The portions for both are very generous. The jajangbap also came with pickles and another side soup.I loved the jajang sauce and the omelette. The rice portion was a bit small for my taste but it was still amazing. Overall it was a solid lunch and I would definitely come back here.

Great value for the food. I ordered jjmyeon and it was only $11 for a portion large enough for two small servings. The taste is decent with small bits of pork and veggies. The noodles were chewy and bouncy. Watching all the mukbangs with people chomping down on jjajamyeon had me craving some for real. This was a quick meal to satisfy.

The noodles here never disappoint. Their noodles are fresh and perfect chewiness, never soggy. They are the busiest food stall in this food court which is always a good sign. People are usually lining up as soon as it opens at 11:30am.

It's important not to go grocery shopping on an empty stomach! ; I tried the Gochu Jjamppong Noodles on the recommendation of the cashier. I was not disappointed.They are nice and spicy and the broth flavor is delicious. Maybe not as much seafood/pork as advertised, but very filling on the whole.
