Overall quite good and good value Korean restaurant: mostly authentic (healthier – less sugar?) food, courteous, attentive, and reasonably fast response, and a bit noisy (at its peak time) but clean ambience.

Stopped by here for an earlier dinner around 4:30pm on a Saturday and were immediately seated. We got: 2 orders of the unmarinated galbi and bibim naengmyun. The meat was great quality and I felt like they gave us a good portion, though it is overall pretty pricey. The bibim naengmyun noodles were well done and I loved the ice pieces in the soup. This is a solid Korean restaurant that is actually frequented by Koreans. Worth a visit.

This place have been my favorite KBBQ in the area for years and even though the folks running the place have changed hands a couple times, they’ve kept up the quality as well as the friendly service. From the original owners who was featured on Andrew Zimmern’s show to the current management, they’ve always been super attentive and nice. Their meat always come out looking super fresh and taste even better. If you do KBBQ, they usually come with a tofu soup and a steamed egg on the side that are complimentary and they go great with the rice. Their ban chan (small side dishes) have a better variety than most in the area and is one of my favorite part of the meal. If you order one of the set dinners, it also come with small square noodle wraps in addition to the lettuce. Just a great place overall and highly recommend!

The glory days of shin chon slowly fade away. Used to be the my go to Korean BBQ with great service. In the past couple years, they have taken the back seat to some other establishments. Service is extremely spotty and even rude at times. Food is ok but meat quality isn’t what it used to be. Side dishes are still great compared to other local restaurants but I can have Korean BBQ at home at this rate.

First time in this location. Not really a fan of korean food, but was surprised by how good they are. A friend described to me the items being served to us, tried each of them and was glad I came. Could be pricey though, service however was good. Our corner was perfect as the restaurant was well spread out so my clothing didn’t smell of meat

My favorite Korean BBQ in MD!!! The restaurant itself is not that big, so there’s often a wait, but the food quality is worth the wait! Meats are marinated well, soups and noodle dishes are well flavored. Top recommendations are the Marinated Galbi, Beef Brisket, Seafood Soondubu, BooDae Jun Gol, Japchae and Shrimp Tempura. Their ban chans (complimentary sides) are really good too!

I asked my kids what rating they would give Shin Chon and they said 12 stars! I agree! We ordered the turtle special #1 for 4 and it was more than enough food for 1 adult male, 1 growing teen boy, a growing girl and me! Even though the meat are the star of the show, all of the small dishes were flavorful, and delicious. I even got to try the bean paste, soup, it was a huge hit. Will come back!
