Jajangmyeon and the spicy noodle soup are both so deliciously satisfying

This Fresh Clam in Black Bean Sauce is a killer... add that Salt & Pepper Calamaris and good gracious Jajangmyun

Excellent, authentic chinese food that is not overly salty or oily. The green beans and eggplant with garlic sauce were delicious

Order the jjajamgmyun and the jjambbong. Can't get those at other Chinese restaurants.

This is Korean Chinese. Not American Chinese. Eg this is what a Chinese restaurant in Korea would serve.

Dried fried green beans are addictive, a must to order.

Great for family style

dry fried chicken is the best choice for a lazy day ... any day for that matter

Owners or the chef may have changed because the food is not what it used to be. Jjambbong was bland, jjajamgmyun was flavorless, kimchi tasted different. So sad. Their food used to be so delicious.

Clams in black bean sauce is the best!

They have Chinese style kimchee here. I think the owners must be Chinese expats from Korea.

짜장,짬뽕은 맛있는데 탕수육은 진짜 너무 달기만 합니다 바삭하지도않고 눅눅하고 탕수육은 정말 맛없으니 주문 시 참고하세요~!
Minji JungSeptember 3, 2012
Doesnt taste as good as it did before :( 짬뽕 좀 많이 중국틱해요 ㅂㄹ임..
