Truyền Thuyết ChamPong Quận 1 - 전설의짬뽕 1군점 - Korean restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Food is awesome. Flavour is just nice and not too intense or sweet. I’ve enjoyed all that is on my table. Will be back and will recommend to all.

This was my first time visiting this branch. As soon as I walked in, I noticed a strange smell that honestly reminded me of cockroaches, which made the first impression a bit uncomfortable. The staff weren’t very enthusiastic either. The food was okay, and the location was easy to find, but I probably wouldn’t come back to this branch again. I personally prefer the District 7 branch more.

The portions are very large — one dish is enough for two people. The best dish is the crispy fried pork with sweet and sour sauce. The cold noodles are good, while the black bean noodles are quite average and not very special. The staff and the Korean owner are very friendly and enthusiastic.

Decent spot to ease your Korean cravings Food 1.6 🌟 20/10 Marinated stir-fry pork (not sure the name on menu) This one was absolutely delicious and the most well balanced flavorful dish out of the entire meal, with tender texture. 7/10 Crispy pork The crunch was amazing. But! Some of the meat was still pink or uncooked. This dish was very welldone outside, good flavor, but it's not nice anymore to find raw pork inside. 10/10 Cold noodle Nice chilled, flavorful, textured noodle, amazing with both pork dishes above 6/10 Champong noodle This was a meh-okay, not too impress with the flavor and there's a lot of onions. 8/10 Jajangmyeon Good flavor and nice chewey noodle but not outstanding. -/10 Side dishes (Kimchi & Pickled Radish) No rating since they're complimentary. Love the kimchi, I can have this non-stop. It's a bit sweeter but still, addictive. Not so much into the pickled radish though, it's too sweet and has a slight bitter after taste. Price 0.8 🌟 Price matches the quantity, could have been better with quality. Service 1.0 🌟 Swift and easy Environment 1.0 🌟 Casual local-eat type of bistro, clean, and great for big groups Overall 4.4 🌟 Tried-it ✅️

We visited twice on the first and last day of our time in HCM. Super affordable price, huge portion and great food. Better than some of the authentic food I had before in South Korea. Even my kids gave thumbs up 👍 and want to visit again.
