    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

    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.

    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.

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