Friendly and accommodating staff. You get value for your money. Each dish is good for two people. And the place is good for groups. Taste is definitely authentic. My top two faves are jajangmyeon and spicy toppoki stew. They serve free danmuji. We also had the chance of meeting the owner. She was super friendly and personally thanked us! Will definitely come back to try other dishes.
The jajangmyeon was legit. Not too salty at all. Just right to my liking. The kimchi just hits the spot. The tuna kimbap has more meat which is good. The beef bulgogi kimbap just has the right taste and seasoned well. The staffs are accommodating! Do not count this place out.
During our recent visit to Sinjeon Toppoki, we opted for Set A, which is designed for two people and includes a variety of dishes: Chicken Mayo Cupbap, Sinjeon Cheese Gimbap, Sinjeon Topokki, and Mandu.

Considering the price (around ₱300+), the serving was relatively small for the tteokbokki, although the sauce was really good and the rice cakes were soft. The mozzarella cheese topping it off was great, too. We also ordered tuna mayo kimbap, but maybe we came at a bad time since our order was quite cold. The tuna was cold and the seaweed wrap was kinda rubbery and not easy to chew. My friend ordered the same thing for delivery and told me the kimbap came hot, so it was quite disappointing that when we went there in-person, it wasn't. It was quite expensive for their portions, but the meal …
The quality of food is poor. You cannot taste the Spam in Spam Kimbap. The gyoza food i don’t know what its called was bad. The fish cake is fried 😭😭, it taste like the fishball sold on the street. The you cannot taste tuna in the tuna kimbap. I had high hopes but we got disappointed.
