Nothing is as devastating as researching a restaurant, going out of your way to reach the…read moredestination, being excited for the food, and then not enjoying it. Unfortunately, that was my experience at Jingle Bao & Yum Yum Wok. I purposely planned to arrive around 3:30pm so I can take advantage of the 2-5pm happy hour special. Upon entry, I was given three options for seating as it wasn't busy. The server was extremely nice and it was great to see a staff freshly making their XLBs. I ended up ordering a trio set; the Crab XLB for my dumpling option, the tan tan noodles for my starch, and a matcha latte for my beverage. The tan tan noodles arrived first. Unlike the noodles I normally order, it was in a chili oil broth. I can tell the noodles were hand cut, but the thickness was consistent with udon noodles. It lacked flavor and the chili oil and sesame oil combo failed to sink into the noodle. Another table asked for salt for their noodle, hoping that it would save the taste. Neither them nor I finished it. The beverage came out second. The lady making it behind the counter didn't seem too careful with the ratio. What I ended up getting was a slightly mint color milk beverage. It wasn't very good, but still my favorite of the trio. You can mess up flavor milk. The dumplings came out shortly after. Maybe it's my bad for being adventurous right from the start - and I also know that not everything is made for me; but other than the nice red-white ying yang color, it was bad. The dumplings were all different sizes. The meat inside fell apart and broke. It as also surprisingly fishy, which makes me think that the crab had been dead for a long while. I ended up using the vinegar to mask the taste and fishyness. Upon a closer look at the menu, the price differential between the HH combo and the individual orders weren't much of a difference. I felt kinda bummed that I purposely targeted this place at this time and it fell short of expectations. Two starts for the decor and the lovely people, but zero for the food.

I could have used a bit…read moremore pickled radish and greens to balance it out, but honestly, it was the best I've ever had. We ordered a half serving and we couldn't finish. Dwenjang jjigae had an interesting twist. It was lighter and more radish-forward than the traditional version, which I didn't mind, but it felt a bit unusual to call it dwenjang jjigae. It came with mushrooms, radish, tofu, and thin slices of beef. Overall, it was light and very enjoyable. Soondae was different from the typical version I'm used to. Here, it's made with an innards casing and the filling was also different, like meaty with less noodles. It had a strong flavor and aroma that I didn't prefer but the texture was soft, not chewy, and it paired nicely with kimchi and radish. It was fine to try but I probably wouldn't order it again. We ordered a small, and couldn't finish. Side dishes were limited to three varieties (fish cake, kimchi, bean sprouts) and served in small portions. With the richness of the bossam and strong taste of the soondae, we needed more kimchi and pickled radish but it was hard to get our server's attention, likely because she was busy attending to all the tables. We enjoyed the warm ambiance, and it seemed like many diners were enjoying the army stew. We'll be back to try more items and for the bossam.
