Shin Toe Bul Yi

They have hours to serve Lunch and Dinner. This place will be my go to restaurant for Korean authentic! Went there for dinner they open at 6-9pm. The chicken is perfectly cooked, crunchy and moist inside! Went used Muni L-traval(recommended) If you are using car then it’s only street parking.

I came here excited to try a few dishes, but overall the food fell short for me. We ordered the fried chicken, which looked great coming out, but the meat was on the dry side. I usually enjoy non-sauced fried chicken, but in this case, it felt like it could have really used some sauce to balance things out. The soup was nothing special—it lacked the depth and richness I expect from a good Korean stew. It ended up tasting pretty one-note. The japchae was decent in flavor, but for the portion size and what it is, it felt a bit overpriced. Service was fine, but food-wise, nothing really stood out enough to make me want to come back soon.

I haven’t been coming here since the pandemic started. I’ve been wanting to dine in here but each time I wanted to stop by there was always line. But I know that’s a good sign; the food must be good! Today I called minutes after it opens 😄 and ordered takeout; lunch special mackerel and seafood pancake. Picked them up, got home and right away I just munched on them. Oh my words…everything is so delicious!! The service is great. Generous portion. The young lady on the phone was very friendly. I think I’d be a regular here and will dine in Friday or Saturday since I live only few blocks down. The portion is great. I enjoy every bite. Thanks so much!!

The best Korean restaurant on the block! It is a family-owned business, and there was a period of time when I came here almost every day. Every item on the menu is delicious—you truly cannot beat the bibimbap and bulgogi!

They’re now open for dine-in service on Fridays and Saturdays! This modest, family-run gem sits right beside the Taraval line. The mother and father lovingly prepare each dish in the kitchen, while their daughter handles the front of the house, ensuring that customers feel right at home. I’ve tried Han Il Kwan, Manna, Toyose, and The Crew, but this spot still wins me over every time. Although they’re celebrated for their fried chicken, I can’t get enough of their pollack roe soup, soon tofu soup, and kal-bi!

Hidden gem! — Came here for dinner at 5:30pm on a Saturday, no wait! People started rolling in around 6:30pm. Even though they were busy with takeout orders, I never felt rushed. I came here with my elderly aunt and the waitress kindly + patiently answered my many questions (to make sure the food was not spicy for my aunt). Ordered: Kimchi stew & tofu stew, each entree came with a bowl of rice. Kimchi stew was flavorful and I personally like adding a dash of vinegar (which the restaurant happily provided) to make it more sour. Asked for three refills of side dishes because we were a big fan of the potato salad and kimchi! Even though it was a small space, it felt cozy instead of cramp. I imagine it could get loud since I was able to overhear some of the conversations across the room. Overall could eat here again.

Food came out hot. Tea came out lukewarm. Excellent customer service. Dishes are clean. Clean bathroom. Came here for dinner on a Saturday night at 8pm and place was empty. Music is loud. Was seated quickly. 20 years ago, this restaurant used to be so crowded that the wait time was at least 45 mins.
