Cheonmimi Sinsa Branch (천미미 신사점) is a Chinese restaurant in Sinsa-dong (신사동), Gangnam, Seoul. This post follows a December 2021 dinner there, from a stir-fry that looks like jeongabok (전가복), a dish of abalone, shrimp and greens, to jjajangmyeon (짜장면), noodles in black bean sauce.

Cheonmimi Sinsa Branch prints its name as 千美味 on its menu cover and paper placemats, according to a May 2022 blog photo. A May 2025 blog post places the restaurant near Garosu-gil (가로수길).

## Cheonmimi's blue wave plates

The cover photo shows one of the restaurant's blue-and-white plates, with waves and white flowers around the rim. It holds shrimp, broccoli and bok choy, pale pieces with dark ruffled edges that look like abalone, and a round green nut that looks like a ginkgo nut. A June 2018 blogger describes the shop's jeongabok as abalone, shrimp, mushrooms, bok choy and ginkgo nuts in a mild sauce, which fits the plate.

*A dark block that looks like braised pork, topped with enoki mushrooms and shredded scallion, beside stir-fried bok choy.*

The second plate has the same pattern and carries a dark, glossy block that looks like braised pork, topped with enoki mushrooms and shredded scallion, with stir-fried bok choy beside it. The same 2018 blogger lists dongpo-yuk (동파육), braised pork belly with bok choy.

## Bone-in fried pieces and jjajangmyeon (짜장면)

One white bowl holds pale yellow noodles coiled round with a few sprouts on top, and a second holds the dark sauce with large pieces of onion. Jjajangmyeon is eaten by stirring the sauce through the noodles.
