Shrimp fried rice
jeremiah w.

This place has a cool nice low key vibe. a longtime staple on Olympic Boulevard in Koreatown, specializing in comforting, generous Korean-Chinese fusion cuisine. They have a delicious honey walnut shrimp. Its large, plump shrimp coated in a light, crispy batter and tossed in a sweet, creamy honey-mayo sauce with candied nuts. Their shrimp fried rice is . It is clean, fragrant, and not overly oily. If you order black bean noodles (Jjajangmyeon), saving a spoonful of the dark black bean sauce to mix over this fried rice is a classic way to eat it. The service was very good also.

The food here is good. No complaints on that. I have come here for both lunch and dinner, and we've used their private room for my nephew's first birthday as well as for family members' milestone birthdays. The room is simple but works well for a group. Service has been inconsistent the last few times I've come. Most recently at my dad's birthday dinner we ordered 5 dishes and the dishes came out one at a time, about 10 to 15 minutes apart. By the time the next dish arrived, we were already finishing the previous one. My brothers and I were joking that they must have a new cook that hasn't learned how to time cooking. At a Chinese Korean restaurant, meals are meant to be shared family style, with dishes arriving at the same time so everyone can enjoy them together. That did not happen, and it took away from the experience, especially for a birthday dinner. On a separate lunch visit, the service also felt inattentive. The waitress seemed annoyed when taking our order as well as when I asked for more water and side dishes, which again impacted the overall experience. The food is still the reason to come. But consistent service, proper dish timing, and basic hospitality matter. I've considered giving a three star rating based on the last two experiences, but since I've been coming here for nearly a decade, I'll leave it at four.

This evening (2/8/2026 Sunday) , we picked up sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk) to go from Shin Beijing and enjoyed it at home. This is a very old, long-established restaurant in LA. I hadn't been there in a long time--I went many years ago, then ordered takeout during the Covid pandemic, and this was my first visit back in quite a while. There's another Chinese restaurant, Yeonkyung, located just across the street, which is famous for its glutinous rice sweet and sour pork. We've gone there more often, so it has been especially long since we last visited Shin Beijing. This restaurant also has private rooms where you can sit separately, and it reminded me that we once held a family birthday party for my father here many years ago. Today, we ordered the sweet and sour pork to go, and it was so crispy and delicious. Since it had been so long since our last visit, I also noticed they now offer lunch specials, which all looked tasty and well-priced. The staff was very friendly as well, which made the experience even better.

Sometimes I just get a craving for Chinese food, and this is one of my go-to places. I like that it's clean, simple, and not overly crowded. The atmosphere is comfortable, and I personally prefer this kind of neat, straightforward style. It's a great spot when you're looking for a relaxed meal.

We did our 100 days 백일 here !!! It was so worth it

I thought I already reviewed this place but Yelp wants me to leave a review again. I did go back there feb2026 for a bday party and their food did not disappoint. Yummy food, great service. Mapo tofu was a little more spicier to a before. I did my second daughter's 100 days celebration there nov 2025 and it wasn't that spicy .. maybe it's me ?

Delicious Chinese and Korean food! Good portions, staff very attentive! I got the orange chicken and combination fried rice with vegetables. Kimchi was perfect and egg drop soup was great. Valet parking in back.

I went to Shin Beijing for lunch, and it was a solid experience. The interior is spotless, with a modern remodel, new lighting and some private rooms create a nice atmosphere. We started with the mala mapo tofu, and it was fantastic, spicy and numbing with a strong mala kick. Service was quick and attentive, with the staff regularly topping off water. We also tried the stir fried vegetables, which had a bit of a mustard or wasabi like flavor. My family enjoyed it, but it wasn't my favorite. The ttangsyuk, however, was a highlight. The medium portion wasn't huge, but it was still satisfying, with crispy breading and an excellent sauce.

Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 5 stars We had dinner here on Saturday and left feeling very satisfied. This wasn't our regular Chinese spot, but we decided to give it a try after reading some positive reviews recently. One thing we appreciated was the option to choose between 'medium' and 'large' portions for most dishes--we went with medium and added an extra dish. Everyone enjoyed the dishes, which were fresh and flavorful. The service was excellent as well.

Lori L.

This is good Korean Chinese food! It is fusion food so it is not authentic Chinese flavors. The crispy pork was very flavorful and crispy. The shredded pork with seafood was unique and included shrimp, sea cucumber scallop and more. They are known for their black bean noodle dish which was savory with onions and a tasty sauce. They also have a Korean seafood soup noodle dish with lots of ingredients inside. The restaurant is clean inside and upscale.

Stopped by Hangari Kalguksu on a cold, rainy day after visiting The Broad, and it hit the spot!…read moreThere was a long line wrapped around the building, but they had a great system of taking orders while you waited, so our food came out almost as soon as we were seated. The valet parking at the tiny mall was also a big help with the crazy crowds. We ordered Tokbokgi to share and then moved onto our entrees- spicy pork bulgogi, kimchi kalguksu, and chicken kalguksu, and the portions were HUGE! Even the adults and teens couldn't finish their meals. We packed most of it home, and the leftovers made for delicious meals the next day. Great food, generous portions, and definitely worth the wait!

The lot is a little emptier now that Sun Nong Dan moved out, but I HATE that they've also started running effectively a parking valet scam as well (aka bring cash in your car and you must hand the keys over). Food is still banging though. Bossam was a little blander than I remember, but it's still perfectly tender, sliced uber thin, and great balance between lean and fatty cuts. Naengmyeon broth is peak with the depth from the beef bones and sweetness as well. Perfectly chewy noodles and the serving size is huge!

We initially provided our order to an Asian server, but were later assisted by a different Hispanic/Latina waitress. A male staff member also checked in with a thumbs‑up/thumbs‑down gesture, which felt unclear and added to the overall inconsistency. I generally prefer when servers take orders with a notepad. While many can remember everything perfectly without one, in this case it would have helped -- we never received our water, and the waitress had to reconfirm our meat selection. Small details like that affected the flow of the meal. The food was decent. I would reorder the Yuzu Ratan ($19) and the Basque Cheesecake ($11), as those were the highlights. However, the Mango Margarita ($15) didn't taste like mango at all, and my boyfriend chose not to correct it. Overall, the dishes and drinks were just average. We've been trying to explore neighborhoods outside of our usual Koreatown and Silver Lake spots, so it was disappointing that this experience didn't stand out more. The restaurant does offer reservations, which is convenient, but the service and attention to detail could use improvement.

I tried their rice cake & dumpling soup, while we all shared their pork dumplings. The soup was warm and satisfying, with chewy rice cakes and dumplings in a light, savory broth. The soup had a simple, comforting flavor that was great for a rainy day. The pork dumplings were also delicious, with a tender wrapper and flavorful, juicy filling. Solid spot for some Korean comfort food!

I was on a work trip and had to order dinner just for myself to eat. I delivered the Spicy Kalguksu…read moreand pork dumplings, both of which were still piping hot when it arrived 20 minutes later. While this may be a factor of it being delivered, the noodles were extremely mushy. Not even slightly softer than al dente, but very bloated. I could not even finish the bowl since the noodle texture made it not that great. The spiciness of the soup seemed to overwhelm the flavor of the broth itself, which was disappointing. However, the portion sizes of both the noodle soup and dumplings were great. I could tell the quality of the ingredients was high, especially with a mountain of vegetables and 3 dumplings already coming with the bowl. The dumplings were soft and honestly the star of the meal, I would've loved a specialty sauce to go with it. The kimchi was SPICY as well but tasty. I don't want to knock it down to 3 stars as I felt like it's unfair that I got takeout, but there's a chance if I'm in town again I would rather try the original kalguksu soup in person for a chance that the noodle soup is a better texture.

Whenever I'm in the area and have the chance, I make it a point to eat here--it's genuinely that good. What sets them apart is their phenomenal sauces. I am notoriously picky about spaghetti Bolognese because most places make it watery and flavorless, but their version is on another level. It is rich in umami, deeply flavorful, thick, and has that wonderful, luxurious fatty texture that lingers on the tongue. It's so good that the only spaghetti I've ever had that competes with it is the one I make myself! Beyond the incredible food, I love that every pasta order comes with a piece of bread and a salad, and they have a great selection of wine to pair with your meal. Very tiny restaurant too, like sardine can size. My only minor gripes are logistical: they close between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM, which can make timing a bit tricky, and the hostesses can sometimes be a bit distracted chatting or on their phones, occasionally seeming annoyed if you need something. But honestly? I come here for the food, not the service, and the food completely makes up for it. If you love Japanese-style Italian pasta, do yourself a favor and check this place out. It's a hidden gem!
