Ah Woo Rang 아우랑 — Restaurant in Palisades Park

2nd UPDATE - December 2024: Jjajangmyun is now worse than Chapagetti instant noodle. Far worse. It now has an unfamiliar sour aftertaste. YOU HAVE BEEN wARNED!!

It's not easy to find a restaurant that serves up Gan Jjajang (black bean noodles) with that unmistakable taste and flavor, but Ah Woo Rang pulls it off time and again.

I haven't come here in a long time because I seemingly forgot about them because there are so many abundance of Korean Chinese restaurant these days. We decided to do take out one day because happened to be doing some earn in the plaza.The jajamein is exactly how I remember it to be, good but much more oily then others in the area. The white champon has abundance of seafood and has a rich sea flavor. The fried sweet and sour pork is crispy with a nice tangy flavor. The prices here are higher than most of their competitors in the area (Jajanein is $10, other in the are are $7 or less). Worth trying if you want to compare but...
