Hong Ban Jang | 홍반장 스와니 | Korean & Chinese Restaurant | 홍반장

We ordered a set with sweet and sour pork(탕수육) and black bean noodles(짜장면), and we also ordered seafood jjamppong and chicken fried rice. The portions were too much, so I couldn't finish it. There were so many seafood in the jjamppong, so if you're a seafood lover, make sure to visit here. Black bean noodles and chicken fried rice were not good to me.The sweet and sour pork was okay except for the sauce. Radish kimchi is really delicious. Above all, the server was so kind that I ate it happily even if the food wasn’t perfect. I will visit here again tho.

I really love the lunch menu here. It’s cheaper than most places. Their service is fair and the food especially the japchae rice was delicious. The best japchae rice I’ve ever had. I’d prefer the regular jajangmyeon over the ganjajang because it’s more flavorful and sweet. Honestly the jjampong is pretty good too. My complaint is that it gets really busy and it takes a long time for the food to come out. Plus the danmuji isn’t crunchy but very mushy.

Place was clean and staffs were friendly. Foid was average. Fried dumpling was good but texture was like air fried instead of deep fried. Jjajangmyeon tastes like 3min instant jjajang. Its not bad but wasn't special. Jjamppong was mild not bad. Gganpoonggi was good but was extremely crispy. However, it was disappointing to witness this unfortunate incident. Table A ordered Small. Table B ordered Large. Server made mistake and served large to Table A. When the server realized that they made the mistake, they re-served small one to Table A and took away served Large food.(which they already ate some pieces) Server tried to serve them to Table B. Table B refused to receive the food that was served to other table. Server was trying to convince them to take the food. Customer cancelled order and they left. It was very unprofessional and wrong practice.

I don't understand how JJajangmyun, 2 JJamppong, and sweet and sout pork dish was delivered to table within a 2 minutes after ordering? Was the food cooked after we ordered or everything was pre cooked and Microwaved? I asked the server how did we get the dishes all at the same time less then a 2 minutes and she stutters and could answer me...sweet and sour pork was not warm.. jjajangmyun seems to build in big pot and noodles are pre boiled... jjamppong also same... sweet and sout pork also pre cooked and left in room temperature..leaving food in room temperature is very dangerous....I am really considering food department to have this plces raided.

Food was great. We had tangsuyuk & the stir fried jajangmyun. Unfortunately, I happen to be watching the kitchen staff and saw one of the staff lick sauce off his fingers. I’m talking about full on licking his fingers like he was licking off liquid gold and didn’t want to waste a drop kind of lick. Then someone brought the bowls of noodles out to him for him to plate. He stuck his entire hand that he just licked into the bowl of noodles and fluffed the noodles to keep it from sticking. I told the staff what I saw and they remade the noodles. I told the ajumma that they need to wear gloves and they still did not put on gloves. The Korean ladies all wore gloves but they were only serving the food. Unfortunately, I noticed everyone who prepares the food did not wear gloves. That’s unfortunate because I found the jajangmyun to be one of the better tasting places in GA. Not sure I will come back until they start taking hygiene seriously.
