Shin Beijing — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I’ve been searching for good jjajangmyun and jampong for forever since I’ve been living in LA and OC and I’m happy to say I’ve finally found my favorite spot. The samsun-ganjjajangmyun is perfect. The seasoning is just right, the black bean flavor is great, and there’s a nice smokiness. Can’t really ask for more when it comes to jjajangmyun. The jampong was not quite perfect but still is the best I’ve had in the area. The issue with most jampong is the broth isn’t that flavorful and can be watery. But the jampong soup here is consistent throughout and isn’t diluted. I can tell they aren’t taking the shortcuts other restaurants take. I would still prefer the broth to be a bit stronger and also spicier, but again, it’s still the best I’ve had in SoCal. The dumplings were also very good and is made in the traditional large style of Korean-Chinese cuisine- not the small, store bought ones you get often at other places.

I noticed some reviewers complaining about price and service but I found both of them to be great. I paid $48 for essentially 4 full meals. The waiters also gave us the option to split the jampong and jjajangmyun for my gf and me and they even put just the right mix of seafood and veggies in each of our bowls. I thought that was a very nice touch.

5/5 for me and I’ll definitely be...

i highly recommend this place!! i’m super indecisive when it comes to choosing between jjajangmyeon or jjampong, but they let you split both at no extra charge. i really don’t like when places skimp on sauce and the noodles get all bloated, but that wasn’t an issue here at all. the jjajangmyeon came with plenty of rich sauce and generous chunks of meat. super yummy and flavorful.

i was also pleasantly surprised by how refreshing the jjampong broth was. i visited multiple places where the seafood was really bad, but that wasn’t the case here! i can honestly say everything here tasted incredibly fresh and clean. major points for that!!

i don’t usually like eating pork so i get really bummed when chinese restaurants don’t offer beef tangsuyuk, and when they do, it’s just not good. it’s often mostly batter with barely any meat. but this place wasn’t like that. their beef tangsuyuk was perfectly tangy, sweet, and crispy with a good amount of meat. sooo good!!!

there’s also a wide variety of menu options to choose from at very reasonable prices. i’m definitely coming back to try more dishes!! the food was fantastic, but the friendly and attentive service made the experience even better. this place has officially became my go to chinese...

This restaurant is a Korean-style Chinese place, and what makes it really special is that they serve Chinese cold noodles (jung-guk naengmyeon). Back when I lived in Korea, I completely fell in love with this unique dish, but after moving to LA, I could never find it anywhere—until now. I was so excited to finally taste it again here. It’s the perfect summer dish, and once you mix in the peanut sauce, the flavor is absolutely addictive.

Besides the cold noodles, their jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk were also really delicious. Everything had that nostalgic, comforting taste I remember from home. The interior is clean and well kept, and although there was a bit of a wait, it was definitely worth it.

I’m so glad to have found this place—it feels like a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Korean-style...
