Shanghai Mong

5.5/10ChineseKorean

AI-generated summary

Korean-Chinese in Koreatown, and people disagree about it. Some say the jjajjangmyeon is barely edible, others say the $7 lunch special is the best version around. The General Tso's gets a vote. The middle opinion is that it won't blow your mind but it's fine.

replying to u/justflipping: Hainan has a $5.99 jajangmyeon lunch special. Would also recommend Nolbu Nolbu for kimbap. In general Murray Hill, Flushing, and Bayside would be good to look into more ([some recent recs in the comments here](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/1ohneo8/iso_your_korean_grandmas_favorite_place_to_eat/)).
“Dang, I thought Shanghai Mong had the best Jjajangmeyon lunch special at $7.”

replying to u/cayooreddit: their jjajangmyun is not that good -- coming from someone who's first meal back home to koreatown in TX is always jjajangmyun. worth a try though! their noodles are just not what you would expect imo
