Reviews
I loved how simple the setting of the restaurant was, it felt quite homely. We were seated immediately and offered complimentary hot tea (quite appreciated because it was freezing outside). I had already decided beforehand that I wanted the jajangmyun and pork tangsuyuk but the menu looked so appetising that we ended up ordering a plate of fried dumplings as well.
The fried dumplings were great — not too oily and the mincemeat inside was really flavourful. The portions were also pretty generous, I think they had about 8 in a plate. The jajangmyun was exactly how I had hoped it to be — noodles in black bean sauce with pork and veggies. The sauce was not spicy at all, which I personally liked (not sure if they have a spicy version). We ordered the regular portion of jajangmyun and shared between the two of us, but this can easily be eaten by one, going by the fact that they have a larger serving also on the menu. The pork tangsuyuk served with sweet and sour sauce also tasted good. The pork was crispy and went well with the sauce served along with it. Personally, I didn’t find any sourness in the sauce, it was just sweet but the combination is a win. And the quantity is a loooot so it can be shared.
All in all, great find (all thanks to my Instagram algorithm ) and I would like to visit again and try more of their dishes. 🙂
Very neat that they had Korean AND Chinese food here. Seems like they focus on carry out orders a lot because the actual dining area is a bit too old school – bathrooms reminded me of pop up dim sum joints.
But hey- the food is great.
As usual, my wife and I each ordered a dish, and both were bland and uninspiring. Our group also ordered a few additional items to share. Every single one was equally plain and disappointing. Honestly, they tasted like something an amateur might cook just for practice.
Maybe I was late to the news. The place was only sparsely occupied even though it was a Friday afternoon. Felt so … strange.
It was shocking and sad, especially because this place has been around for so long. I truly hope they recognize the problem soon and fix it. I really do.
The food was pretty homey. We had a hot stone bibimbap and a jjampong with sweet and sour pork. The side dish was also amazing. Love the place and the vibes.
Ja-Jang Myun (noodles with black bean sauce) is delicious – total comfort food. Their Pork Tang-Soo-Yook (sweet & sour deep fried pork) is my favorite dish here – so fresh, crispy & delicious. The dinner portion’s extremely generous, easily enough for 2–3 people – you’ll never leave hungry!
Their half-and-half combos run about $16–$18 if you’re dining solo – always a great option.
Compared to NYC, this restaurant fails to meet average quality expected in Korean Chinese cuisine. I should not even mention and compare this restaurant to Korean Chinese in South Korea. This place is wayyyy subpar.
