Simjang - Worcester

Really amazing food and drinks. It's busy at weekends. The dishes should be shared so keep an eye on this when you go with a group. The price is somewhat more than other places on the strip, but it is worth it.

Simjang (or heart is a tasty, modern Korean experience that will not leave you hungry. Like Korea itself, Simjang mixes the old with the new, makes use of it 's tight space by building up, and stays true to its roots with a simple, straightforward menu of high impact choices. The KFC (Korean fried chicken offers a few choices of sauce, and passed the sticky fingers test. You 'll make use of your wet wipes because if you 're trying to fork it, after your first bite your taste buds will compel you to dive in and get down to business. Ramyun (their spelling and rice bowls fill the entrée slot. Choose either, and you 'll be delighted with a full bowl of meat, egg, noodles/rice, vegetables, and goodness. There are some nice interior touches. Bright colors, exposed rafters, and old stained glass windows from the Worcester Buick Co. The second floor has a few arcade games on free play, and there are a few pop culture momentos scattered throughout. As seems to be a trend, pronunciation of the restaurant name is up for table discussion, but if you want to say it correctly it 's shim-jang .

The service was great, the alcoholic beverages were strong and on point, i had the noodle soup with beef it was good and something different and they have 3 old school arcade machine playable for free and a beer pong table and another bar for events.

I beg them only offering burger and stop serving their modern/alternated Korean/Japanese Food . As an experienced Asian in many kinds of Asian foods I can beary accept what I got, something is definately missing. For example, probably the worst Kimchi I have ever had in my life. I ordered their cold sweet potato noodle , something never heard of, WAY TOO over priced and far from tasty. Salmon bibimbap, fresh and clean but again not tasty, and they should say they are severing it COLD. The environment is super clean and neat with huge windows, that the picutres of foods always look nice, but don 't be fooled by that unless you are not there for food. Like one of the guy who work there recommoned several times: try our Kimchi Hotdog at the bar. Yea, that probably is the only thing they are good at?

Tried the Wooden Noodles pop-up today. Together with my food companion we tried the tonkotsu and tsukemen, and they were both very disappointing. The tonkotsu ramen is pork based, and the tsukemen is dipping ramen, something I've never tried before. Well, the tonkotsu ramen was definitely hot, but the bowl was only half-filled, something I've never seen before in any ramen bowl, and the broth tasted primarily like oil, making the noodles and mushrooms slimy and bland. The two pork strips were the only good part of this dish. The flavor of the tsukemen was amazing in comparison, but the broth was served lukewarm, like a gyoza dipping sauce, so I left most of it untouched, and the noodles were served cold as well, which made it more like a salad than ramen. Hard to say whether this was a fault of Wooden Noodles or Simjang, as this was my first impression of both. After this experience, I don't know if I will give either another chance, especially as this was my most expensive ramen outing ever.
