If you like 짬뽕 (jjamppong), do yourself a favor and try it here. I’m Korean, and I’ve had a variety of good jjamppong at Korean places in NJ / NY and Atlanta. The jjamppong here is easily in the top 3 I’ve had so far. I don’t usually finish the vegetables and soup, but I finished the whole thing today.
Also, I’ve heard that the 탕수육 (tangsuyuk) here has gotten bad rap in the past, but the owner mentioned that they’ve made improvements based on past complaints. What I had today was fine as far as tangsuyuk goes - not really anything to write home about, but I thought it was worth having with the jjamppong.

Secret gem alert! Nestled within a strip mall is an unassuming seafood restaurant that serves up really good Korean-Chinese specialty cuisine.
+The Korean-Chinese Seafood Noodle Soup also know as jjamppong or sopa de mariscos con fideos is legit. It reminded me of the jjamppong’s I ate in Incheon, South Korea. +The jjajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce) was delicious, too. +The customer service was great. +The owner-operator was really nice. He shared his history with us - been living in Houston for 8 years, came up with his own recipes from scratch including the jjamppong, owned three restaurants pre-Covid.
-I wish the tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) was a bit more crispy and less oily like the dishes you see on Netflix's 2024 Jjajangmyeon Rhapsody. -I wish the noodles were thicker and prepared al dente, as they were a bit overcooked.
Overall, the Korean-Chinese cuisine was delicious and we'll also check them out during crawfish season. Give them a try and show them some Yelp/Google love, y’all.

Okay, if you’re into crawfish, you have to check out Laterality, hands down the best in Houston. What makes it next-level? That garlic sauce. Seriously, it’s a game-changer. Super bold, crazy flavorful, and totally addictive. After our first visit, my coworkers and I basically made a weekly crawfish pact for the rest of the season. If you love crawfish, this place is a no-brainer.

This place was the first time I had seafood Jambong a korean dish that requires a lot of expertise. It is sosoosososoo good. The crawfish was also really clean and the sauce was very good! I would highly recommend!
Hospitality was great the food also reflects that. If you're looking for a hole-in-the-wall with great service and food, look no further.

My family and I walked in and were greeted by a man that seemed to be working alone. We were the only table in the restaurant during dinner time on a Tuesday. He seemed friendly at first. Food was mediocre and nothing special. The guy was very pushy and gave me attitude when we requested soy sauce. I live close by and wanted to support a local small business. Save your money and dine elsewhere.

The food was really good! The snow crabs were big! Crawfish were big also! Garlic butter sauce was really delicious, and you can get it in many spice levels! My nice says they have been consistently delicious for years! The fried rice was good also= I got the combination one= crawfish, small size hrimp etc, it was good! As a side. They do give you a tray/ gloves, plenty napkins. The attendant/ servant was not happy, lol. He seemed to be alone! Not much servant charm <---, but he did bring everything you asked, lol. There was a wait for the food! It seems to be prepared on order! But it is SO FRESH & GOOD!
