This is a fairly new fast food-like joint located inside a tiny food court with just a few other Asian eateries. I was having a hankering for jajangmyeon, which I absolutely love, so what better place while in Las Vegas than Korea Town Plaza, right? Well, maybe, but not so much Hong Lou.
I tried the combination special of half jajangmyeon and half spicy seafood soup noodles. I have no idea whether the noodles are actually made on the premises or not, but they claim to make it there when I inquired into this. The noodles were very uniformed in size, so it was probably machine made, if it was made on site.
The half of the spicy seafood soup noodles were ok, with a good amount of seafood, given that it was only 50 percent of the whole "bowl". In addition, I found the seafood soup quite flavorful, and perfectly mildly spicy.
The other half of the jajangmyeon, however, was another story. Firstly, I reiterated my request to the cashier that I wanted the black bean sauce served separately, on the side. She readily agreed, and when I got it, lo and behold, the sauce was served on top of the noodles. Unfortunately, I didn't care for their flavorless sauce at all, and now a bunch of it was smothered all over the noodles. Bad, all the way around.
I come occasionally to the Korean supermarket, Greenland, which this food court is attached to, but won't be stopping by Hong Lou again. Just so many many other Korean restaurants all over Las Vegas to pay for sub par food, even at food court prices.
