The Shim Tur serves fuss-free Korean food at an affordable price. Their selection of banchan {complimentary nibbles on the table} isn't comparable to the ones served at Gung but is a good indication of the meal ahead. Not as refined or elaborate but rather a more approachable introduction to the cuisine. Always start with a bottle {or two} of Soju. I'm not the biggest fan of Kimchi but there's nothing better than a bowlful of the Kimchi noodle soup on a cold day. The broth looks a fiery red but is moderately spicy and has a good kick from the fermented Kimchi. The noodles are thick-cut, instant ramen style and have a good chewy consistency. The sliced pork, grilled table-side with garlic, is always the pièce de résistance of our meal at Shim Tur. The fat to meat ratio on every slice is always just right.
Other favourites of mine are the Kimchi fried rice and the tuna Korean sushi roll. Sushi purists better look away because this one has canned tuna {my favourite, a shameful secret} in a nori sheet wrap with cucumber.
