We don't necessary need to go to big restaurants to enjoy delicious food. Sometimes, it is worth visiting small restaurants as the price is reasonable and the taste is authentic and good. In this post, we will introduce two restaurants that offer delicious food with reasonable price.
#1 Zinjja Pasta
Zinjja Pasta (진짜파스타) is one of the famous restaurants near Saongsu Station. It is open from 12pm, Tuesday to Sunday. The closing time is different for weekday and weekend, so please refer to the information found in the later part of this post.
Zinjja Pasta provides free meals for underprivileged children. This beautiful story was being told in various media and social media which has attracted many people to this restaurant.
Besides that, they also provide free meals to the fire fighters (but they have to show their fire fighter ID when making payment). Therefore, you can find many thank-you messages from the fire fighters.
From the menu, you can see that they offer a variety of main dishes such as shrimp tomato pasta and chopped beef steak rose pasta, as well as other set menus. For pasta, they have categorized it according to sauce type - tomato, rose, cream, etc.
After making order, we were served appertizers - bread and pickles. The restaurant owner mentioned that the special appertizer - bread was served only today. For those who dislike cucumbers, you may eat the radish and cabbages instead.
First order - Chopped beef steak rose pasta was served. Overall, the sauce smell more like creamy sauce than tomato sauce. It would taste even better if the spaghetti was cooked a little longer. However, the amount of chopped steak served was a lot for this price, and was nicely cooked. Besides that, the spaghetti, sauce and steak blends together really well.
If you wish to try delicious pasta in Seoul, why not come to Zinjja Pasta Restaurant that helps disadvantaged people in society?

#2 Donghwa Maeul Janchitnal
Donghwa Maeul Janchitnal (동화마을 잔칫날), located 5 mins from Banghwa Station, is a restaurant that sells various type of noodles such as janchi guksu (bouquet noodles), bibim guksu (spicy mixed noodles), kong guksu (soybean noodles). The spicy mixed noodles is the representative menu at this restaurant while summer radish noodles and soybean noodles are seasonal menu.
The reason why this place is famous is because the profit will be used create jobs for the elderly, scholarships for the youth and to fulfil children's dream. The owner is such a warm-hearted person who serves refillable noodles to the people.
Although this restaurant is not very spacious, but it is clean.
The menu is quite simple and straight forward. You can order the food at the kiosk placed near the door as you enter the restaurant. After choosing the food that you want, you can choose the noodles size (normal or big). The noodles are priced from KRW 4,000 to KRW 5,000 only! However, do take note that the kiosk only accept cash, so if you wish to pay by card, you have to inform the staff.
We tried the summer radish noodles and the portion is so big! This bowl is full of radish, noodles and soup. From the crunchy radish, perfectly cooked noodles, and refreshing soup, this is such a perfect dish. We would like to invite you to this place where you can eat without worrying about price and at the same time you help the socially disadvantaged people such as children and elderly.
