    Pork Soup with Sausage
    Tiffany Y.

    Looking for the perfect hearty meal that not only is good for the soul, but also for health? The flavors and comfort of these dishes will definitely hit the spot, especially when looking for a tasty Korean meal. I had to go with the classic Dwaeji Gukbap, Korean Pork Soup + blood sausage, and it was perfect! You can add in the side of chives and season it to your liking with salt, pepper, and together it becomes the perfect heartwarming meal. With the tender and thin slices of pork, each bite is one worth savoring. The banchans are also refreshing and tasty! Especially the kimchi as they actually use oysters, which really gives it a subtle sweetness. We also got the Jeju Style Pork Noodle, which had a generous portion of pork slices. The broth was a bit creamier in comparison to the Pork Soup, but similarity, you would add the seasoning to the level of your preference. We also got to sample the chive pancake, which I think had little bits of seafood in it! This was savory and crispy, especially when paired with the dipping sauce. Compared to the restaurants that used to occupy this space (Jinsol Gukbap), the menu has more variety with more combos on barbecued meat options as well as large soup specials where you can share with another person. The dining area is pretty spacious and the service was super friendly. Will definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

    Authentic food! It was so delicious! Th flavors are bold and it s good amount of food for 2 people. $50 and we got so much! Pork combo set comes with ramen, scalion pancake, steamed eggs. All the sides! The restaurant just opened so it was empty! I hope more people come! It was very good!

    Came on a weeknight and there was no wait. Service was good and food came out quickly! Ordered the Korean chives pancakes which were super delicious - on the thinner side and crispy around the edges. Also got the spicy cold noodles - it was HEAVY on the horseradish moreso than other naengmyeon dishes I've tried. The flavor was pretty much mostly just horseradish flavor and my nose was burning - still yummy though!

    I'm from a land with fighting contenders for best pho in x location, especially pho bo. In NorCal's…read moreSan Jose, there's a war whenever anyone discusses where to get the best pho of any type, and I've tried nearly all of them. I was curious about Kei Concepts and their empire of polished restaurants around SoCal, and my first entry is here, at SUP Noodle Bar. I was also intrigued by the claims of one of LA's best places for pho. Unlimited pho refill is certainly convincing by itself. Luckily, I was visiting LA right when they started a beef belly pho lunch special, which made our meals such a fantastic value! - Golden "Bao" (one bao) Literally a steamed pork bun that's been fried, so it's crispy on the outside. It was interesting, and the fried aspect made the bread part more doughy opposed to pillowy. The inside was a typical minced pork meatball, a little ginger forward. I'm not too fond of steamed buns or meatballs, so not created with my taste in mind, but it's certainly unique. - Pho Beef Belly The broth is a little extra salty, sweet, and sour than I prefer. It's also more mellow yellow instead of a clear brown so I am missing beefiness. It could maybe could use some additional earthy spices and more savory beef flavor, though I respect that it's flavorful in some aspect. The beef belly basically comes off as hot pot beef slices, which are always welcome in my mouth. I found it interesting how we were asked whether onions were okay to include in the bowl when ordering. The amount of fresh green onions and cilantro atop the noodles were perfect. If I came here again, I'd try some other side dishes and get my pho shaken style, as that seemed to be popular. While I don't think the broth compares to my favorites in NorCal, I really like the refill availability and fusion sides. Considering they look a little extra fancy and modernized over a traditional pho place, the prices are still pretty good. Work on that beef flavor!

It's a small place with a handful of seating, very clean with a wonderful ramen house ambiance. I'm sure the atmosphere is different when it's packed, but it was nice and quiet when we got there which made for good conversation and a great experience. I decided on the Shasho Ramen, and my son chose the Katsu Don plate. There's a 1-20 scale for the spice level, I chose 20 as I'm dead inside. Spice is subjective, so don't blame me if your experience is different, but I didn't find it all that particularly spicy - what I did find though was some wonderfully flavored broth with a perfect blend of spice and notes from the vegetables and other spices. The noodles were cooked proper, and everything was warm and fresh! My son said his katsu was perfectly cooked as well, nice and crunchy and not overly fried. The service was on point, they were on top of things and we were never left wanting. Honestly I'm really happy to have finally made the time to stop in; I will certainly be returning, and I hope to see you there! :)

For starters, we got their Chile-Lime Cauliflower, and it is so good! The chile-lime vinaigrette is really what makes it! I have never enjoyed cauliflower so much! I only wish they would cut the cauliflower into slightly smaller pieces so it's a little easier to eat. But other than that, highly recommend this dish! I wanted something warm and comforting, so I got their Ribeye Pho. It comes in a pretty big bowl with tenderized sliced ribeye steak, noodles, and all of the pho fixings. Will be back to try some of their other Asian fusion dishes!

It's a small authentic Korean joint that's family-owned. The ambiance isn't the best but the food definitely makes up for it; it's more of an older generation vibe. They have restrooms while they might not be the best and there's ample parking. The service is welcoming and friendly. Their side dishes are simple and you can ask for more for no charge. The salt and green onions are self-serve. I always get their Seolleongtang or Kong Na Mool Guk Bap and they both come with rice. They both taste great and are often considered a hangover cure. If you want to add noodles, you can choose between white or glass. Near the end of your meal, they give you Sikhye as a little treat. Sikhye is a traditional sweet rice punch. I think this is for dine-in customers only, I'm not sure if they'll pack it for take-out orders. This place is never too packed and it's a great place to dine if you're looking for something light hearty and a warm meal!

The menu on the wall is Korean but the menu itself has English words on it. Love the side dishes - kimchi, seaweed, and radish with the typical unlimited refills. I got the suluntang (dont know how to spell) #1 which is the basic order. It comes with a side of rice and the choice of vermicelli or glass noodle. I love glass noodles so of course I chose that. It's nice because you can add as much or as little salt as you want and the same goes for the green onion. It is such a soothing soup on a cold day and the side dishes make the food very refreshing. Very home-y feeling inside with the aunties working there. Lots of parking since it shares a parking lot with other restaurants/shops/supermarket nearby. I would come back again for a nice warm soup when I am in town.
