I had a great meal at Hangari Kalguksu, and I understand why it's a popular spot. On a weekday…read moreafternoon, my friend and I were given menus while we waited around 15 minutes in line. We were able to order in the line, and got our food within 10 minutes once we finally sat down. I tried their handmade clam kalgusku soup and beef bulgogi. Both portions were generous. The kalguksu was incredible comforting, with chewy, long, freshly made noodles in a rich, savory broth that was packed with clams. The beef bulgogi was also delicious. It came with a side of salad and rice. The bulgogi was tender, well-merinated, and paired well together with the sides. Great place for authentic Korean comfort food, and I would love to try their famous Bossam in the future!

We were visiting from Seattle and stumbled on this wonderful restaurant after searching for bossam…read more We went during lunch time and we got lucky with the only handicap spot in the lot (my dad can't walk very well so we had a handicap placard). We ordered the medium bossam, galbi kalguksu, perilla seed kalguksu and spicy pork. There were 5 of us but the portions were so generous, we had enough food with some bossam left over. The bossam was amazing! The best we've tasted. We all loved the perilla seed kalguksu due to its taste and also bc it's so healthy for you. The owner came by to check how we liked the galbi kalguksu since it was a newly created dish and we told her that it was delicious, seasoned just right. Before the meal, as they brought out the side dishes, they brought out barley rice with denjang on top to mix with yeol-moo kimchi. That was a special touch. We absolutely loved the food there. I saved the info so that we can return when we visit Koreatown again in the near future. Highly recommend this place to anyone who craves exceptional Korean food.

I love yuzu shoyu ramen. It's hard to find a place that serves yuzu flavored ramen, so I was…read moreexcited to see that Afuri is known for it. I had it in Japan before and it was delicious! They offer Yuzu Shio (salt broth) and Yuzu Shoyu (soy sauce broth) Ramen. I went with Yuzu Shio ($19.50). The yuzu gives it a refreshing/bright taste that really cuts through the fatty broth and pork. Yuzu Limeade ($7) and although I liked the drink because it had a strong yuzu and lime taste, I wouldn't recommend getting it with a yuzu flavored ramen because it takes away the yuzu flavor in the ramen. Service was friendly and attentive. The space is open and bright. We paid for parking just to the side of the restaurant so that we didn't have to deal with street parking.

Good ambiance, definitely. Good service, yes. Good food, yes. Good value.. no, not really…read more Came for their 6th anniversary where it was 50% all ramen. Got their signature Yuzu Shio which was about $10 (normally $19.50!!), as well as their Afuri Roll which the server recommended ($23). The ramen rather had a small portion, but was balanced and pretty good - and the broth was definitely on the lighter tasting side, good for people who wants a cleaner taste. I ended up using chili oil on the side to spice things up. The Afuri Roll wasn't anything special, and a bit on the dry side but it had a nice variety of different fish inside. Overall, considering all the other competitive ramen joints in the area that have a more competitive price/portion/variety, I'm not sure if I'd give this place another go given the price. Great vibes though!

We got the raw skate cold noodles which were flavorful and good, they provide you with scissors to cut the noodles as you eat them. Not sure I would order this again due to texture preferences of the skate and noodles but it had great flavor. It was served with a bowl of amazing, very clean chicken broth. The kalguksu came with 3 dumplings and a ton of noodles. Very tasty but wish there was more meat or dumpling in it. This place is always quite busy but service is very quick. You get up to pay when you're done.

The tonkatau wasn't overly heavy but just enough to not be bland either which was perfect for my taste Interior was clean and service was awesome. We came on a Sunday early afternoon so we didn't have to wait. Parking is unfortunately just street parking but there's also a lot nearby if you're willing to pay.

The portion is large and I never finish it, but without ordering chashu the chopped bits in the broth don't feel substantial enough. It was happy hour prices and the takoyaki and fries were ok. Fresh but not notable. The chashu on the bowl was a bit dry and much more thin than what is given with the noodles. I've been here twice, weekday lunch and weekday dinner. The place has always had a few customers but no wait.

First of all, the vibes are sooooo good! From the dope music to the staff, I felt at home walking in the door. I love how the restaurant has an open air feel to it, where even when sitting inside, you're also right next to the outdoor spaces. I ended up sharing the Taiwanese popcorn chicken with my husband and ordered the wonton noodle soup. The soup was pretty good and fresh, but popcorn chicken stole the show! Just delicious. My husband got the Dan Dan noodles which were also super flavorful.

We often pick them up as a side to whatever meal we're making at home, and they somehow tie everything together beautifully. They're peanuty, saucy, and the cucumbers add the perfect crunch. My fiancé usually hates cucumbers, but even he loves them in this dish. I've also tried the popcorn chicken, spicy shrimp dumplings, and grass jelly. I found the rest of these a little underwhelming, but I think that may come down more to my personal taste than the quality of the food. Regardless, I will continue coming back for those dan dan noodles.

It was not busy at all we got at right away and there was empty tables but our server could not remember a single request we asked for . We asked for Parmesan, the check along with Togo boxes on separate occasions (which I think are quite normal requests to ask for ) he forgot all of them and we had to ask his co-worker. At the end of the meal he apologized for forgetting the items and asked if we wanted a Togo bag for our meals which as you guessed he forgot again. I'm sorry but the restaurant was at like 20% capacity. Also they messed up on part of our order. All and all we will not be returning again Also the gratin we ordered was very hard to eat.
