Shinla Garden - Kitchener

We visited during the special dinner hours and I chose to order the pork bone soup, which was discounted by one or two dollars.

After visiting this place for a second time, I have come to realize that they specialize more in Korean-Chinese cuisine. This is why the bibimbap is just average. The Chinese-style fried dishes are delicious, though.

We ordered the traditional Korean handmade noodles in beef broth hot pot, which was meant for 2 people but was so generous that it could easily feed 3.

I have ordered all their menu and everything is good. Love the place, cozy and warm. Lady owner that serve the food is so kind and accommodating. My favorite is the beef ribs, feels like home.

It is hard to dislike this restaurant, it is centrally located owner run and has friendly service. There is also a lack of decent Korean restaurants in the area. Plus, their kimchi is outstanding. Best i have had west of Toronto. The variety of Korean dishes is there, including cold noodles, hot pots, pancakes, etc. It is also reasonably priced. No open BBQ for cooking though.Unfortunately, the food is at best mediocre, at worst poor. The dried dumplings are awful, the bulkoki and kalbi uninspiring as a hot plate, and the beef bone and pork bone soups ho hum. The noodles are fine, but even the dumplings in the soup were awful.For two however, there are more interesting options, but will have to find someone that actually likes korean food.....
