Jajangmyeon Museum, Food museum in Jung District, South Korea

The Jajangmyeon Museum occupies the former Gonghwachun restaurant in Incheon's Jemulpo District. Its six exhibition halls cover the history of Chinese immigrants and jajangmyeon, the dish's beginnings, a 1930s guest room, the jajangmyeon boom period, the dish today, and a 1960s Gonghwachun kitchen.

The museum occupies the former Gonghwachun restaurant, founded by Yú Xīguāng, a Chinese immigrant from Shandong, under the name Shandong Huiguan in 1905, 1907 or 1908. It was renamed Gonghwachun in 1912 or 1913. The restaurant served zhajiangmian, the Shandong dish that evolved into jajangmyeon. The building opened as a museum on 28 April 2012.

The dish transformed from a Chinese specialty into a staple of Korean dining through gradual adaptation and local innovation over many decades. Today visitors see how deeply this noodle dish is woven into Korean food traditions and daily life.

The museum sits in the Jemulpo District, a short walk southeast of Incheon Station on Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1. The building has six exhibition halls spread over its floors, so allow time to move through them in order. No admission fee or scheduled cooking demonstrations are mentioned in the sources.

Inside the museum you can walk through a recreated 1960s kitchen and a 1930s dining room that show how this noodle dish was prepared and served in earlier times. These spaces let visitors experience how the kitchen and dining habits actually worked back then.
