Shin Sung Restarant

Walked in and there were a couple of scattered tables here and there and no Korean people there. Oh oh I thought, but was visiting my in-laws from out of town and they suggested this place. No disrespect for Korean or non-Korean folks but the people that know their own food best is the people of that culture. We decided on the $120 set menu which included kalbi, seafood pancake, grilled mackerel, spicy pork, spicy squid, steamed egg, tofu soup and assorted banchan. Food quality was a C. Nothing to write home about. Asked for the check and noticed they tacked on 18% tip? They circled the total and tip(see pic). There were 4 of us so it wasn’t a big party and their service was average. Why 18%? On any other day and place I would have disputed the 18% tip but we just landed in Seattle and haven’t seen my in-laws since prior to Covid. Gave them my credit card, they came back with the receipt and I wrote 0 for tip. Upon leaving the waitress chased us out asking for a tip! What? You want a double tip? So we went back and forth until she relented, and said she made a mistake. How is that possible? It’s a set menu for $120, the total bill was almost $160. Do the math. Taxes are not $40. Take your money somewhere else for better food at a better price with better service.

Shin Sung Korean BBQ is another great affordable Korean BBQ spot. The place is located close to the unfinished Federal Way train station. $29.99 for all you can eat is a steal deal, especially when it includes rice, vegetables, and even soup. The nice lady that was serving us was very nice, she always checked up on us and also kept the food coming. If I wasn't cooking and eating, she'd come by and cook and also check if everything was good and if we needed anything else. She made sure that our table was stocked up on all the delicious sides, rice, and meats. If you are in the Federal Way area give Shin Sung a try. This is my second time trying out the location and they have not let me or my friend down.

What a great find! If you’re looking for a good Korean Fried Chicken place? THIS IS IT! Good food, chill vibe, and good service. We ordered some other dishes than just fried chicken, and everything else tasted really good. My favorite was the creamy udon, it was smoky, creamy, and delicious. The corn cheese could be better, but overall the food was great!

This review is for Underground Kitchen, not Shin Sung restaurant-which is located next to the restaurant. We got to the restaurant around 4pm. They open at 2pm. It was the prefect time to go since the dinner rush hadn’t started. The restaurant is located on the bottom floor. So you do have to walk down a long flight of stairs. The restaurant is not a large space, and it’s a pretty dark ambiance inside. The wait staff is nice, but they can also get really busy. We had to wait awhile for someone to take our order and also our check. We ordered onion rings, spicy rice cake, chap chae, honey garlic chicken, spicy seafood udon stir fry. We were not disappointed. Food is good. We will be coming back. They do take out orders as well.

We got kimchi jeon and pork belly bokkeum, and both were absolutely delicious. The jeon was perfectly crispy on the outside and hot and fluffy on the inside. Portions are big. We barely ate anything before having to ask for to-go containers. Banchan was good; nothing necessarily outstanding. The restaurant was busy, but the staff was very kind, patient, quick, and efficient. We didn’t feel like we waited long at all for any part of our dining experience.

Very delicious chicken and I got the food pretty quickly. I really liked the employees that were working today. Very polite and welcoming

If you'd like to see the video reviews follow me on instagram @AngelGoffney This little hidden gem is perfect for a chill night out with some friends. When you get there, you’ll have to walk down the stairs to get to the actual restaurant. When you walk in, you wait to be seated or can sign up on the clipboard to be sat as well. They play rnb music which gives me club vibes. That makes it so much fun enjoying their take on bar/street food. We got the cheese corn to start and this is literally my favorite appetizer. The corn is sweet but the cheese they use is super savory and it’s so good. We had that while we waited and decided to order some drinks. They have full bar service but we opted for their soju. If you like the effectiveness of alcohol without the taste or hangover, this is for you. It comes in a bunch of different flavors and even as an experienced drinker, it had me tipsy at the table. We ended up getting the honey garlic chicken wings. These wings were so crispy and flavorful. The sauce is sticky and delicious and they have a couple of flavors to pick from. It’s definitely a chill atmosphere but we were dancing at our table because the music was so good. Definitely check this out the next time you and your squad need a place to go.

It was a decent all you can eat kbbq. Side dishes and soybean paste stew were disappointing. However, if you want meat for a decent price, I would recommend this place. The service was okay as well.
