I received an invitation from a friend to try out a Chinese food joint. Eager to delve into some Korean soul food, I decided on Jjajangmyun (짜장면) and specifically went for the seafood variation - the Three Seafood Jjajangmyun (삼선간짜장). Drawing from my past experiences and diverse tastes, I've developed a knack for recognizing exceptional flavors. As I eagerly anticipated, I was looking for the pinnacle of taste. However, when it came to the crunch, the experience wasn't quite up to par. I'd rate the taste a 3 out of 5. My main qualms revolved around the Jjajang paste, which didn't have the heat I was expecting, and the seafood elements were chopped into tiny bits, which hindered the enjoyment of these key ingredients with chopsticks. The timing of our visit fell just beyond the peak lunch hours, making us the sole diners at that moment. It left me contemplating whether expecting different results while executing the same methods could lead to success in the fierce culinary arena.

I ordered spicy Jajangmyeon, black bean noodle. I love that dish. It was not spicy at all, but I love that flavor. By the way, when you order this Jajangmyeon, I suggest not to wear anything light color shirts cause no matter how much you pay attention not to mess your clothes, you end up having some sort of black spots on your shirts…like me. This restaurant is closed on Wednesday.Parking: No issue of finding a parking spot.

I ordered the jjampong and it was great! I can’t say that about every Korean Chinese restaurant that I’ve tried. Actually, it was the best rich broth! I’ll keep trying jjampong at all the restaurants that offer it. But for now, I’m glad I tried this restaurant out. The atmosphere and staff aren’t very inviting but seeing that all the patrons were Korean, I felt better. I’m really glad that I tried this place!

My first experience coming here to Ching Mei was very pleasant to come in with the welcoming staff and delicious food but the only thing that is off about the place is that the place is Chinese but there are some overlap of Korean cuisine there. Another thing that was off about the place is when I was walking out of the restaurant I checked my receipt and noticed that there is a different name to the restaurant and it didn’t say Ching Mei on it, it had a Korean name for some odd reason.

This is a korean-chinese restaurant so don't expect the same type of food as you would find in other Chinese spots. The food is still pretty tasty and my go to spot for jajangmyeon.

Before making the trip, i made a call to make sure if seats were availableIve told them it may take certain time but sarcastic attitude was repliedWe still made the trip,Because it was the big group, we had to sit on the bigger tableThey complaining at us how we sat--in a way of blocking their path(That is something they shouldve done it w better attitude)When paying, with sarcastic comment"Good job on making the far trip"Which led me to leave poor tipThey didnt say a word, when we were leavingWhat a poor serviceYou get what you earn, and i guess it was not acceptable.Dont expect $$$ from me if u are planning on kept on being rude

Food is not the same. Noodles are soggy and dishes don't have good flavor. Service is fine and the ambiance is dingy. I probably wouldn't order from here again.

The jjajangmyun and the tangsuyuk were exactly what I expected! Very DELICIOUS and fresh food, highly recommend! Mom and pop atmosphere, the staff was very friendly. They never let our drinks get too low and they were very hospitable.

Tried ordering over the phone and was told place was close for pick-up as I was sitting in front. Of the restaurant. Lights in the door way was out and not lit. It says they are open until 10pm but I guess they closed for some reason.

Omg! This place is crawling with roaches! They're so comfortable, not only do they not run, they literally crawl on your table in full view! Health department needs to shut them down!
