New Myung Dong SoonDaeGook

Hidden restaurant on the way to shoprite. The name says it’s down for — traditional Korean dish made of hand pulled noodles… but I wasn’t feeling it today.
We ordered soondaegook and gamjatang. Both mediocre. I was spoiled by tang maru (place I gave 5 stars for their Korean stews)
Only thing good about this place is the mini buffet for self serve side dishes! And a salad bar! All
Complimentary. And usually places that have these types of things the food doesn’t taste good. But not at all every side dish I picked out was pretty spot
On. Not too salty not bland. It was impressive actually. Because it is the first time I’ve seen this type of system in a Korean restaurant !
I would probably come back to order what they are known for. Kalguksoo. And for the awesome mini buffet! I’ll update my review then~~

This place actually has spicy soondae-​guk (pork stewish soup not sure) that kinda does really taste spicy. They have a little something different in the stew compared to the other soondae-​guk restaurants, dangmyun (noodles small amt) and gopchang (intestine). I ordered this 2^nd time and so far not disapppointed.
Seafood kalguksu (noodles)was another dish ordered by a companion and shared even though i dislike kalguksu. Wow it actually tasted good. Texture of noodles were fresh and seafood was actually not the frozen miniatured. The seafood did not lack but can’t say a huge amount, reasonable for price. Another dish which i don’t highly recommend would be chul-​pan ojinguh (squid on grill). Plate wasn’t horrible, it just lacked in squid (small squid portion and very bland), mostly vegetables. It tasted like bibim-​bap, you have your gochu-​jang paste to put as much as you want. I kinda expected some well marinated squid sizzling, i recommend just go with bibimbap chulpan if u plan on ordering this for the price.
Bachan (sides dishes) are a wow for a soup spot. Usually these type of places just give u kimchi and something like a salad but not bad!
Hopefully they stay this way and also get some liquor on the way.
1 star off cuz of that plate and men’s restroom u check it out.

I love soondaegook (pork stew) and have tried several places. The spicy sdg is like no other — it’s actually spicy! The place is right by to soc chon but I never bothered to go until now. I’ve been missing out!
It’s super clean for one and it fills up quickly! There’s limited parking right in front but I think you can park across the street in the lot of another building.
Can’t wait to try other items on the menu. Oh, it’s BYOB.
