We ordered xiaolongbao, kung pao chicken rice, and tomato egg stir-fry, with the tomato egg especially delicious alongside rice. Sinbok Myeongwan is a satisfying meal worth revisiting. Even within Chinese cuisine, the continent is so vast that flavors and styles vary hugely by region, right? Haha. I think the world of Chinese food is wonderfully broad and fun when you get to enjoy those regional characteristics and differences. Today, I’m introducing a Chinese restaurant near Gangnam Station that my husband enjoyed so, so much—it was incredibly clean-tasting, full of umami, and delicious. I asked, and apparently it’s Taiwanese-style Chinese food. ![Introduction to Sinbok Myeongwan, a Taiwanese Chinese restaurant near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-01-1hxlz-900.webp) ![Introduction to Sinbok Myeongwan, a Taiwanese Chinese restaurant near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-02-cp379-900.webp) ![Introduction to Sinbok Myeongwan, a Taiwanese Chinese restaurant near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-03-x6ief-900.webp) ## Taiwanese Chinese Food Near Gangnam Station: Sinbok Myeongwan ![Exterior of Sinbok Myeongwan near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-04-3iq10-900.webp) *Exterior of Sinbok Myeongwan near Gangnam Station* ![Inside Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-05-1qll4-900.webp) ![Inside Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-06-1244a-900.webp) ![Inside Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-07-adbq9-900.webp) ## Today’s Menu ![Today’s menu at Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-08-hrfw8-900.webp) ![Today’s menu at Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-09-rc47g-900.webp) ![Today’s menu at Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-10-1ciqo-900.webp) ### Side Dishes ![Zha cai pickles, a side dish at Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-11-xgrwh-900.webp) *Zha cai pickles* ![Sugar-coated peanuts, a side dish at Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-12-ns8kr-900.webp) *Sugar-coated peanuts* ## Juicy Xiaolongbao ![House-made juicy xiaolongbao at Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-13-kunnt-900.webp) *Xiaolongbao Sinbok Myeongwan’s signature house-made dim sum, full of broth* They also sell dim sum, so we had to order some. >.< These xiaolongbao were full of juice. I loved that the wrappers were thin, too... ![Soy sauce served with xiaolongbao](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-14-1yrm7-900.webp) *Soy sauce* ![Xiaolongbao at Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-15-d9p6r-900.webp) They were served freshly steamed, so nice and hot. ![Hot xiaolongbao full of broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-16-69atk-900.webp) First, I tried the glossy xiaolongbao, bursting with broth. Carefully lift one so the broth doesn’t burst out, then take a bite... >.< Wow—such nutty, savory, umami-packed broth came pouring out. The xiaolongbao were so rich and delicious. Haha. I was very satisfied. ## Tomato Egg Stir-Fry That Goes Beautifully With Rice ![Tomato egg stir-fry at Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-17-1opxr-1200.webp) *Tomato egg stir-fry A curious combination of tomatoes and eggs with a flavor that makes you want to try making it at home!* Tomato and scrambled egg stir-fry—known affectionately as todal-bokkeum—was once practically my staple food, and I love it so much! The portion was quite generous, too. ![Generous serving of tomato egg stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-18-1u6ws-844.webp) One spoonful, and it was packed with umami, rich, and so, so delicious!!! It was much bolder and much, much more flavorful than what I make at home. Hahaha, seriously delicious. There was an option to add a bowl of rice when choosing the menu, and I thought it would go really well with rice. ![Tomato egg stir-fry served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-19-1g2mr-900.webp) So I tried it with rice... and it really was such a perfect match, so delicious. Of everything I ate at Sinbok Myeongwan, this tomato egg stir-fry was my favorite! Haha. ## Kung Pao Chicken Rice and Egg Soup ![Kung pao chicken rice at Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-20-1scx4-900.webp) I tend to love Chinese à la carte dishes, and kung pao chicken is one of my favorite Chinese chicken dishes. Not many places serve it, but here they offer it accessibly as a rice bowl? My husband was curious and ordered it right away. Haha. ![Egg soup served with kung pao chicken rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-21-ybsin-900.webp) *Egg soup* ![Kung pao chicken rice order at Sinbok Myeongwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-22-8mb43-900.webp) When you order the kung pao chicken rice, it comes with egg soup like this. Oh, and kung pao chicken is a slightly spicy chicken dish made by stir-frying cubed chicken with nuts. It’s a friend of yuxiang chicken. Haha. A smooth egg soup full of umami. The kung pao chicken was savory and delicious. Even though it was a rice bowl, my husband preferred mixing it all together. Hahaha. When you spoon plenty of that deep, umami-rich sauce over the rice... it goes so well with it. The rice was a little firm, with a feeling like an akita-style rice variety, which made it feel even more exotic? ![Kung pao chicken rice enjoyed with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok-23-9430g-891.webp) Sinbok Myeongwan was a clean-tasting Chinese restaurant that suited Korean palates while still giving off lots of exotic flair, so I was very satisfied. We tried a variety of dishes and enjoyed them all, so I think we’ll be back! ## Where it is - Sinbok Myeongwan (신복면관) - B126, 6 Teheran-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로4길 6 B126호) - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로4길 6 B126호 - 37.4976709, 127.029341 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8B%A0%EB%B3%B5%EB%A9%B4%EA%B4%80/@37.4976709,127.029341,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-detour/gangnam-station-tomato-egg-shinbok/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
