I have to award Shin Jung Korean BBQ the Best Service restaurant I been to in term of Korean restaurants!
I was actually greeted warmly when I arrive with a big smile.
I was allowed to sit in a 4 person booth alone
I was asked if I want my banchan refilled
I was informed by the waiter that my Soon Tofu is going arrive in a few minutes and hope I don't mind....
I was asked if I want to have my tea filled up a few times, even after I pay my bills
I was always spoken with a big smile and with tons of eye contact
I was asked how I like my meals and if everything is ok
** OK the waiter is young and have a nice smile too!**
Dropped by for lunch at this newly opened restaurant located in First Markham Place. The interior is nicerly decorated with big windows and high ceiling (they would need that because every table counter does have a BBQ stove)
The lunch specials have a big choice starting from $6.95 with various Korean dishes. I decided on the Soon Tofu Soup extra spicy ($7.95).
Seems like all the meals are served with glass noodles and salad and with banchans on the side. They all nicely presented and the waitstaffs explains every single thing they bring to the table. It is good for patrons that is new to Korean food.
The Soon Tofu has seafood and veggie inside.. (One big Shrimp and Mussel and some baby oysters.) The Tofu is really silky and it just slide right into my mouth. The broth is quite favoured with a hint of seafood taste.. and it is just the perfect spiciness for my taste. The rice, I wish they will have the option of brown rice as not everyone eat white rice and it is more healthy to give people that option.
PS If you don't want the egg.. please let them know, because it was cracked raw cooking in the bubbling broth when it was served
The watermelon slice that was thickly sliced and sweet make a perfect ending to the meal.
I would definitely be back to try their Cold Noodle and other Korean Fare... I hope the waitstaffs can keep up with their spirt and keep on offering excellent services to the patrions!
