Within a few steps away, this strip mall has like 2 KOREAN establishments that is always changing in terms of name or ownership.
Man, this location changes so much until it spins my head so much...
Nevertheless, we went here for Dinner on a Thursday evening.
We arrived at Shin Myung Gwan at about 19:00hrs. At first we cannot decide whether we want to do BBQ or NOT. We ask for a BBQ table, the server open the BBQ glass cover and switch on the BBQ.
Then once given the Menu and water, and upon reading the Menu, my friend and I decide to order from the kitchen instead.
It seems they are indeed unstaffed. Maybe because its new, with the different name new ownership etc.
These are the items we ordered from the kitchen :
* ENT05 Spicy Seafood Tofu Soup $10.99
* BBQS03 Marinated Beef Short Rib $35.99
The Spicy Tofu Soup is NOT really that SPICY for our taste buds. The broth is so diluted. More like MEH... We would NOT order this dish again from here. Furthermore, the SEAFOOD inside this Spicy Tofu Soup is very limited and is not of good quality. Take note : For this Spicy Tofu Soup, you can have Beef OR Seafood as your option.
The Marinated Beef Short Rib was just SEMI-OK. They are NOT really marinated long enough to taste any "marination" sauce etc. For that price aka at $35.99, we expect MORE. In addition to this, the Marinated Beef Short Ribs is really NOT grilled enough back in their Kitchen. Everything is between semi-OK to OK that evening.
At our table there is a call button. When we pressed it, our server came to our table. At that hour, there are not many patrons dining in... Did we went for Dinner on their OFF day or was it NOT so many people know about this establishment. Did we order the wrong items in their Menu?? Maybe??
I may return and perhaps order the LA Galbi instead which was my initial option or some other items in their Menu. At least when we ask the staff, when we need more bachan that we like, he will sent it to our table. I like some of the bachan items that evening.
After our Dinner, we exchanged some conversations maybe to the Owner. She happened to be at the Front desk, next to the entrance of Shin Myung Gwan. Above anything else, I wish them many more success in their future business undertakings in this Neighborhood.
A toss of 2.5 to 3 stars review that evening. Who knows my review might differ when I return for that LA Galbi which has been calling my name ever since I type this review.
Shin Myung Gwang is opened DAILY from 11am to 10pm. Do call them in advance in case there are changes with their operating hours.
Left Shin Myung Gwang at about 21:30hrs ish.
