Before you head over
Practical dining tips for your Korean-Chinese meal
Request Tangsuyuk Sauce on the Side
Ask for the sweet and sour pork sauce on the side if you prefer your pork to stay crisp, as sauce poured directly on top can cause it to become soggy quickly.
Use the Tabletop Shears for Noodles
Make use of the provided tabletop kitchen shears to cut the springy, long noodles to your preferred length before digging in.
Note the Side Dish and Kimchi Setup
Pickled radish and onion are served complimentary, but note that kimchi is an extra-cost side if you want it with your meal.
