Loyal Chinese House

Eui Rhee Roo aka Loyal Chinese House. Previously Ppong Nation, this place just opened up a month ago. Had their Eui Rhee (Loyal) Jjam Ppong. It was okay, borderline so-​so. It had a ton of seafood and the portion was very generous. But the broth was on the thinner side and it didn’t have any smokey flavor or ‘the taste of fire’ at all. The broth being thin could be a style. Some places make it heavy and some make it light. Either way, you can go right. But the lack of ‘fire taste’ shows some problem. You need to use extremely high heat to sauté veggies and pork and have them wear the smoke. Ability to handle fire or high heat is indicative of Chinese chef’s skill level. I felt almost zero of this smokey flavor. But the portion was generous, so I would say not too bad.
