The building was once a restaurant
In Incheon's Chinatown, the Jjajangmyeon Museum occupies the former Gonghwachun building in Seollin-dong, nationally registered heritage property No. 246. It once lodged merchants in the port-opening era and later became a famous Chinese restaurant. Restored after closure, the building has served as a museum since 2012.
A dish told through six galleries
Permanent displays explore Chinese migrants and jjajangmyeon's origins, a 1930s restaurant dining room, the dish's popularity, instant noodles and a 1960s kitchen. A familiar meal becomes a way to explore trade, migration and dining culture in Incheon.
