A Must-Visit Local Chinese Restaurant in Korea – Jinhunggak in Dongincheon

 If you're visiting Incheon as part of your Korea trip — especially around Chinatown or Sinpo Market — here’s a local gem you won’t want to miss!

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

2nd Floor: Large banquet-style hall for group gatherings and events

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.

Here’s what we tried:






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







Plus, the food here doesn’t leave you feeling heavy or bloated like some oily Chinese dishes. It’s more like clean, balanced home-style cooking — a pleasant surprise for international visitors!





You can easily visit Jinhunggak after exploring Chinatown, Sinpo Market, or even on your way from Incheon Station.
It’s a wonderful spot to take a break, recharge with a warm meal, and experience authentic Korean-Chinese cuisine like the locals do.

Hidden Seafood Gem in a Bangkok Mall: Kungthong Seafood Visit Review

이미지
 During my trip to Bangkok, Thailand, I had one particular craving: soft shell crab . After some research, I found a place called Kungthong Seafood , a well-known seafood restaurant that started with a famous main branch and has since expanded to several chain locations , including inside shopping malls. I visited the branch located inside Siam Discovery , one of Bangkok's central shopping malls. Be warned — the mall layout is a bit complex, so follow the signs carefully when navigating. I had a little trouble finding the food court area at first. The restaurant is located within the food court , and the setting is very much in line with a typical mall food court — clean, simple, and casual. It’s a convenient spot for a quick but satisfying meal. Though I can’t read Thai, the photo-based menu made ordering easy. As with many Thai eateries, the menu was impressively diverse. It was hard to choose just a few! Here’s what I ended up trying: Maphrang Juice A tropical Southeast ...

Thailand Travel Kanchanaburi Safari Review!

이미지
 One of the things I had planned during my recent trip to Kanchanaburi, Thailand was a visit to the Kanchanaburi Safari . At this safari, you can ride a safari vehicle and get up close to a variety of animals. It’s said to offer a nature-friendly environment along with several animal shows. Since the place usually closes after 5 PM, I had brunch and left early in the day. The ticket booth apparently closes a little after 4 PM, so I recommend going early to enjoy the visit without stress. PS. If you take a taxi, you’ll usually need to negotiate the round-trip fare with the driver. In my case, the driver offered a deal first, and after some bargaining, I managed to get a round trip for about 750 baht . First, I bought the admission ticket at the entrance and also bought some animal feed. Adult ticket: 550 baht Child ticket: 350 baht Animal feed (2 bowls of carrots): 100 baht You get two baskets of carrots for 100 baht. Besides the basic admission ticket, you can a...

"Erawan National Park Adventure #1: Getting There by Bus!"

이미지
  This is a travel report from my recent trip to Kanchanaburi, where I visited Erawan National Park , the main purpose of my visit. To get to the park by public transportation, you need to take a bus from the Kanchanaburi Bus Terminal . The journey takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes . Note: The Kanchanaburi Train Station and the Bus Terminal are located in completely different directions, so make sure you head to the right place. I departed in the morning, and the roads were relatively quiet. Since the terminal is located in the city center, it was easier to find than expected. There are several buses heading to different destinations, but the one going to Erawan was easy to identify — it was clearly marked and very obvious that it was heading to the national park. P.S. : Perhaps due to the high number of foreign tourists visiting Erawan, the bus is parked right in front of the Tourist Police Office . When I looked a bit confused, a staff member came out to assist me and ...
