(Chinese food in China tastes different...

It was cool to be able to try a vegetarian/vegan jajjangmyeon, but not sure it was worth the 7k especially since it was kind of lukewarm (at least the noodles themselves were hot) and the tea was tepid... Funny that the staff don't speak much English but as soon as I said jajjangmyeon he said "...vegan?" Must be all the...
