Jimmy's House 지미스하우스 - Steak in Sinchon 신촌

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Jimmy's House is a Korean style steak place that is located in Sinchon. I went here recently on the recommendation of several blogs and I am here to tell you about the experience. The food that came out had a lot of positives as well as several things that I did not like too much about it as well and I am here to explain the goods and the bads.

The atmosphere in this place is fine for all occasions, but it really does have a bit of an intimate feel as if it is a date spot. It seems like a good place to take your significant other, but you could also easily go to this place with your friends, family or anyone else you might be with.

The food was for the most part very good. I ordered the mixed plate which came with shrimp, chicken and steak and the thing that stood out the most was definitely the steak. The steak was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The chicken was pretty much average and was covered in some kind of a barbecue sauce. The shrimp was not bad as well and were two huge pieces of shrimp with no marinade.

The sides were not so delicious for me though. This came with jalapenos which I don't eat at all. It also came with a spaghetti which was covered in some sort of a pepper sauce that kind of resembled gochujang and was absolutely terrible. There were a few fried veggies and piece of pineapple which were OK and the other order came with french fries which were covered in a sort of chili sauce that I didn't find to be good at all as well.

It also came with a Bingsu for dessert which was a nice touch and tasted great!

Overall I think the steak was great, but the rest of it was meh. The sides were not very good at all and the rest of the meats where just OK. Despite all of this, I think if you live in the area this place is worth giving a try. If you don't come here often try Ipanema Grill which is leagues better than this place.
