Jinhunggak (진흥각) is a local Chinese restaurant that offers delicious food, generous portions, and very affordable prices. It's been officially recognized by the Korean government as a "Good Price Restaurant", making it a great spot for tourists looking to enjoy a satisfying meal without overspending.
Every day: 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM
The restaurant is located right between Sinpo Market and Chinatown in Dongincheon.
It’s housed in a 3-story building dedicated entirely to the restaurant
1st Floor: Main dining area for individuals and small groups

3rd Floor: Appears to be used for storage
Jinhunggak is also registered as a "Foreigner-Friendly Restaurant", and they mean it!
Each table has a self-order kiosk that supports multiple languages — perfect for travelers who don’t speak Korean.
Whether you speak English, Chinese, Japanese, or other languages, ordering is simple and stress-free.
They have a fun photo receipt event — if you participate, you get free fried dumplings!
Just ask the staff or check the signs near the counter.
Like most Korean-Chinese restaurants, the menu is varied and flavorful.
You can choose from individual dishes, course meals, and a selection of Korean and Chinese alcoholic beverages.

If you're traveling in Korea and want to experience a local favorite away from the typical tourist restaurants, Jinhunggak is a perfect choice.
