Shin Jung

The Write-Up

The full story

Shin Jung is a cozy, lively Korean barbecue room on East Colonial where tabletop grills hiss and K-pop plays over the spread. LA kalbi and beef bulgogi come off the fire with real char, the soon tofu stew arrives bubbling, and the banchan keeps coming. Guests say it came back better than ever after the fire, though service can run brisk when the room is packed.
