This review is only for Korean-Chinese food.
Parked and walked in. There was a customer with a take out food waiting (I wasn't sure if she was waiting to pay or not) and there was a lady standing behind the counter, her back to the door, looking at her phone and drinking tea. After five minutes, a male walks up to the customer waiting with the take out, I guess she wanted something extra with her order, after dropping off the items for the customer, the male turns to me asks how many, I said one.
I got seated at the booth, reviewed the menu and then went with the following.
- jjajangmyung
- Tangsuyuk
Tangsuyuk came out first, looked like the standard dish you'll find at other restaurants, but at this place, they added bamboo shoots and ginger to the dish. Unfortunately that ginger overpowered the sauce and bamboo shoots also did not help. They serve the dish with the sauce on top, most other joints will serve the sauce separately (I'm sure they will serve the sauce separately if you ask). Very different take on Tansuyuk. What would I change about this dish? First of all, remove the bamboo shoot and ginger and add bit more of vinegar to the sauce.
Jjajangmyung - There's two things I like about this dish - 1) price and 2) portion size. It's below $9 and they give you lot of noodles for single order.
Unfortunately, that's all I liked about this dish. The sauce is on salty side, in fact, this dish reminded me of the Beijing Jjajangmyung and this dish is nowhere close to the Korean-Chinese version... Also, on the menu, they called this the samsung Jjajangmyung (seafood version), but the only seafood in this dish is shrimp, cooked with pork and minced onions and zucchini. If they are going to call it samsung jjajangmyung, they need to add more seafood items to the dish.
Overall, not impressed with the Tansuyuk or Jjangmyung. I'll come back and try their sichuan menu offering next time.
