Sin Goong Jun, no more?

[jhlurie]

My Dad was in town briefly last night, and because he's got this odd thing about always getting a deal, he talked me into going to a restaurant which credits frequent flyer miles into his account (don't ask about this odd psychological condition, it's a bone of contention between us... but if you really want to participate in a ridiculous program like this, apparently the airline is Continental).

The list of participating restaurants in my area was small, but finally we decided on what seemed to be a new Korean restaurant in Palisades Park--called "NY Kom Tang".

We went to the address specified and wound up at... Sin Goong Jun.

For those of you not familiar with Sin Goong Jun, it's somewhat famous for being the best food available in Bergen county at 3AM.  Quite a distinction.

Or perhaps I should say "was".  The place appears to be under new management.  The front entrance is being rebuilt and the signs changed.

As for the food... the jury isn't in yet.  Because we were in a hurry we didn't order BBQ,and that's the real test of Korean food.  The Sushi and Bibimbap the two of us split was passable, but that's hardly a comprehensive test.

Has anyone else eaten here since the management change?  Has anyone eaten in the "New York" location of NY Kom Tang--which is apparently located in Manhattan at 32 West 32nd Street?

ooops!!!  and i was planning on going there with a group of friends in a couple of weeks.  perhaps we should rethink these plans?

I noticed some construction work going on there about a month ago. I was concerned and drove into the parking lot. The restaurant appeared to be open for business and the Sin Goong Jin sign was there, so I figured they were just doing some renovating. I hope it won't change too much.

Tommy - why don't you invite me & Jason and/or Jon along when you go with your friends and we can evaluate it together and tell you if anything has changed? ;)

has anyone heard of Woo Jung in pal park?  actually, this is the place we were planning on.  they all sound the same!!!

The main sign on the road still says Sin Goong Jin.  But smaller signs inside have been changed.

I have no idea if the new incarnation of the restaurant is still open 'till 3AM.

There may still be some connection to the old Sin Goong Jin because I thought I recognized the hostess.  But maybe she was simply kept on...

Is this the one on Bergen Blvd., that is close to Meson Madrid? If it is, it's right down the block from me. I had a strange experience at that place once. LMK and thanks.
