Lee Hwa Modern Chinese Tapas & Bar

"It's the best joongkook restaurant in the area. I noticed that their jjampbbong and other dishes weren't greasy like other place and they use high quality ingredients. I noticed that the shrimps were bigger, mussells were fresh, vegetables were fresh, and pork meat was fresh and of good quality. The inside of the restaurant looks and feels like joongkook restaurant from the past. The service was good. As far as food goes, all the dishes were excellent. Where I was taken aback was the price. We ordered two noodles, one fried rice dish, and an appetizer. The total was around $86. I hope they bring down the price because $18 for a bowl of noodles is a bit too much. I understand that they use good ingredients but this is too much. The portion sizes aren't consistent. My wife got way too much noodles while I got just enough. But the appetizer was way too small given the price point."

"Taste wise, this is one of the best Korean-Chinese restaurants in the area. The quality of the main dish like Yurin chicken is by far, miles ahead of other Korean-Chinese restaurants in the area. The noodles in the dishes were also tender and fresh. The quality was noticeably better than similar restaurants. That said, this place comes with some caveats that hopefully gets better over time. First, the food takes much longer to come out. We waited roughly 25 minutes before our first dish came out and we overheard several customers from different tables voice their complaints. Also, the dishes are pricey. It is noticeably more expensive, especially considering the portions. I think this makes sense for main dishes like Yurin chicken or sweet and sour sauce deep fried pork/chicken, but not sure if we agree with the price on dishes like Jajangmyeon. I know the restaurant is new so we expect not everything to be perfect. I’d say, it’s definitely refreshing to finally see a Korean-Chinese restaurant with an extraordinary quality. Hope that some of the common problems that customers are pointing out get better though."

"This is not an usual type of Korean Chinese restaurant you can find nearby. Your appetite will be satisfied even when you read its menu. I strongly recommend this restaurant."

"The clean yet sweet taste captured my wife and I's appetite. Jjajangmyeon is made with fried onions right after ordering, and the spicy jjamppong soup makes us want to come again next time."
