I'm not sure what I had for dinner tonight, because there is no English menu, but I'm sure it was vegan (that's the first thing the owner asked when I sat down) it was super good very budget friendly! nudge with soy sauce rise mushrooms. it is a cute Chinese restaurant with two sides on the menu for vegetarian vegan options. the owner made them best to make sure that I had a nice dinner! great option for a quick hear...

What Michelle Bridi doesn't like about Jin Mi 진미:
The menu was only in Korean, and even if it had been in English, it wouldn't have helped me much as there were no descriptions of the dishes. The owner tried to assist me with my limited English, but my options were still limited. I mentioned that I preferred not to have soup or anything too spicy, and I ended up with noodles in a black sauce with onions (and maybe one mushroom). I was nervous about the dish as I was...

I mentioned that I preferred not to have soup or anything too spicy, and I ended up with noodles in a black sauce with onions (and maybe one mushroom). I was nervous about the dish as I was wearing a delicate white dress. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the dish much, as it lacked flavor compared to a similar one I had in Seoul. I probably wouldn't return to this restaurant due to the limited choices and better options in the city. However, if you enjoy Chinese food and speak Mandarin or Korean, this might be the place for you.
During my trip to Korea in November 2022, I discovered this restaurant through happycow and I am so glad I did. I tried the jajangmyeon and it was hands down the best meal I had during my time in Korea. It was incredibly delicious and the portion size was so generous that I couldn't finish it all. The staff were very friendly and seemed accustomed to serving foreign customers, despite the language barrier. I highly recommend this restaurant for vegetarians/vegans as it can be difficult to find good Korean veg options. (Review updated on February 6, 2023)
I really really liked this place, they had a whole section of vegan and vegetarian menue options, the staff was very nice and knowledgeable about veganism, and the food was just amazing! So good. But on the second time I saw that they also serve shark fin soup apparently unfortunately, so definitely worth thinking about whether you want to support that or not..
The menu is exclusively in Korean and contains 2 pages of vegetarian/vegan dishes, some of which are quite pricey. My first choice of Japchae with garlic chives was not available, so I opted for a noodle soup with mushrooms and vegetables. It came with a complimentary cup of tea, pickled radish, raw onion and what I presume is 춘장, aka the paste used for 짜장면. Good flavour and filling, and it only cost 9000 won. If you can't read Korean, you can use a translation app like Papago. Practice your chopstick skills, I haven't seen a fork in there. Updated from previous review on 2022-10-08
Friendly staff with some English, heaps of veg options. I couldn't read the menu but the lady helped me out, with me just telling her what I like. The noodles were really yummy. Updated from previous review on 2022-09-04
