“ Shanghai Mong is hands down one of my favorite late-night spots whenever I’m in the Penn Station area. Whether I’m wrapping up an evening of shopping at Macy’s or unwinding after a massage in Koreatown, this place always hits the spot. The food and drinks are consistently delicious, fairly priced, and served up fast—which is exactly what you want when you're on the go or looking to relax without a wait. The atmosphere has a chill, cozy vibe—like a low-key grill and bar with just the right energy to wind down the night. It’s a solid go-to for tasty bites and good vibes in Midtown. Highly recommend! ”
“ Sweetest host, looks like a model ! Food is great and cheap. Big bowl of pho lunch special $15 open till 5am also the dumplings were great ”
“ Super chill spot to hang with friends and have filling food with a large selection of drinks. This is the first place where I enjoyed the kimchi. I loved that you have the option to choose an entree and get a discounted bottle of soju. I will definitely be coming back to try more things from the menu. ”
“ Korean restaurant that also serves their fusion version of Chinese dishes, we primarily go there for the Jombong and Jaja men noodles which we like. A solid spot for Korean noodles. ”
“ Never knew a Koreatown exists in NYC. Had an appetizer of 10 Fried Dumplings in Shanghai special sauce , Which by itself is a meal for one. Very tasty with some very spicy hot dried chilis. Vegetarian Bak Choy and mushrooms and rice with a side of beef Protein. My wife had a seafood entree with a spiced rice. My brother had one of their specials with 3 items black bean noodles, seafood type soup and another item I don't recall. But he ate all of it. Great and timely service with the drinks, appetizers and meal. Portions are very decent size. Don't see a cause for any bad reviews. Just the atmosphere of people laughing and having a good time was also a great accompanying the mealtime. Only problem was just beer and wine. The Plum wine was a surprise sweet but not thick. For Downtown NYC definitely filling and affordable! ”
