my dad's favorite nengmyun restaurant in ktown Their prices are definitely lower than a lot of restaurants but the best part of this restaurant is the noodles. They make them in house and are the perfect amount of chewy and thickness I had the gamjatang and they are definitely generous with the amount of pork Love that everything is a little less salty Don't forget to add vinegar and hot mustard to your noodles! read more

YUM!!! I'm not used to this style of naengmyeon but it was such a good introduction to it!! The LA galbi was delicious, one of the best I've ever had. The server was kind and treated us like family, telling us what customers usually like, cutting our noodles and meat for us, and even distributing some meat onto our plate so we could try it before she finished cutting it!! I really enjoyed eating here, not only for the food but for the service as well. I also like how they serve broth on the side! read more

Parking: There's a parking lot, no charge during lunch time with decent amount of openings. Side dishes: The radish and kimchi are very light and have a softer bite. Saekimi Naegnmyeon: SO SO good. I love that it had thin buckwheat noodles, it really made chewing process a lot faster. Additionally, the sauce was more on the sweeter side. Pretty much my favorite cold noodle dish that I've had in Socal. Dongtae Jjigae (spicy cold noodle) : Frozen pollack stew was really a little bit spicy. The fish has bones and it took awhile to eat. Okay dish, but not a fan of the bones. read more

Food was good until I found a piece of hair in spicy noodle. I'm not close to Ktown therefore I can't even get my refund back but if you want clean food that does not have hair in it, I recommend not coming here. At least wear hair nets. This is disgusting. read more

Before you drop a review, do some research on the different styles of nengmyun in Korea as well as how each is eaten differently before you complain that this isn't like other styles. Learn and understand Korean culture first. This place is one of if not the most authentic nengmyun restaurant in Ktown. If you don't like it, you don't know Korean food. read more

Excellent establishment located in a plaza south of koreatown. The staff we spoke with spoke little english, but we were able to get my orders in and we got the food quickly. The restaurant itself feels very homely. My favorite is the potato pancake!! read more

Hm. I don't know what I just ate/got full off of. This was the worst $53 I've spent in Ktown/in LA in general. The cold noodles tasted like nothing. There is only noodles, pickles, and meat. Oh yea, half an over boiled egg. But the cold noodles didn't even come with crushed ice. It came with slightly cold broth. Kind of like if you were to ask for VERY LESS ICE in a boba order. And I just saw the combo on the wall advertising cold noodles and four piece dumpling and was expecting the price to be a little more but turns out it's an extra $12..? Idk if it's just me, or that doesn't seem right. At that price, I would've ordered another dish. If you think about it, that's a whole chipotle bowl of its own. And the dumplings didn't even come steaming hot...it felt like they just microwaved it Oh, and when we ordered two cold noodles (one of them being a combo), they didn't even give us side dishes? But all the other customers had it??? It was all grandmas and grandpas there...but like why did I have to ask mid meal for my side dishes..?? And then, I ate the side dishes and realized the best thing on the table was the broccoli with spicy sauce. #Neveragain read more

2 stars I really wanted to like this place, but the cold noodles fell short of satisfying. I ordered the Mul Naengmyun and asked for spicy chili paste on the side. While the server was decent, the spicy paste contained a fly...which was alive and kicking in the sauce. I told her about it and she gave me fresh sauce, but it made me wonder about the restaurant. Taste-wise, the broth was light with a touch of acidity. The pickled vegetables were just ok...I think there are restaurants that serve a better cold noodle. Unfortunately, I will not be back. read more

The place isn't fancy looking and the Korean auntie working there doesn't speak much English, but that's when you know the food is top-tier. Got the Geobchang Jeongol (spicy veal small intestine), it was massive and delicious. As someone who has a low tolerance for spicy, it was manageable. Comes with two rice and definitely more for family style. Also got the mul naengmyeon to balance out the heat, very refreshing, good flavor, not a whole lot of meat. The server was very accommodating and attentive, bringing many many plates and bowls for us to share as she saw us needing them without even having to ask. Super patient with our lack of Korean knowledge and even went out of her way to help us pack/split leftovers. Would love to come eat here again. read more

As we walked in I knew the food was going to be fire seeing their clientele is older Koreans. And I was right. Food is amazing here! We ordered the spicy naeng myon with skate wing fish, mool naeng myung and potato pancake. It was so good that order dinner to go. For dinner we decided to try cabbage rib soup and miso stew. Will update as soon as I consume. The owner was really friendly as well as the staff. Go to spot for authentic Korean food! read more

After a long, exhausting day of walking around in the scorching heat, a bowl of Korean cold noodles was the move to make. My family and I decided to swing by Ham Hung Restaurant for just that. I know it sounds silly, but I cherish that feeling of being instantly whisked away to another world when I walk into some restaurants. From the television screens playing Korean shows or sports in the background, to the menu items taped up to the walls, to the low humming of the air conditioning unit in the corner, to the restaurant supplies stacked in the halls and corners, there's something just soothing and familiar about all of it. I also appreciated how helpful and caring our waitress was (she reminded me of an aunt by giving us all sorts of recommendations on what's good and fresh currently in the kitchen). You know it's legit when they serve you yooksoo, , in a thermos type bottle. This is basically a light beef broth that is meant to accompany your bowl of cold noodles. Even without the noodles, it's still a great warm and comforting drink to sip on while you wait. Being new to this spot, I went with the waitress's recommendation of their Gogi Naengmyeon (Spicy beef mixed noodles) - ($14.99). This dish is composed of a chewy buckwheat and potato starch noodles with a spicy and slightly sweet pepper paste sauce, cucumbers, boiled egg, and beef slices. Spicy yet refreshing. The meal also comes with a humble spread of side dishes (such as pickled radish, kimchi, etc.). The side dishes were really yum and pair well with the entrees. By the waitress's suggestion, we also got their Potato Pancake, Gamjajeon (about $13.99). It's such a simple thing, but it is incredibly delicious and satisfying. The dip of soy sauce really brings out that starchy sweet, fried flavor of the potato pancake. By the way, let me know if you have any other recommendations for Korean noodle places I should also check out. I would love to explore more spots for that. read more

If you want to try an overpriced and the world's worst naenmyung, then come here!! Don't waste your money, go some place else!! Originally we went to Yuchun but we forgot they closed on Sundays and decided to try Ham Hung, that decision will hunt me for the rest of my life. Mulnaenmyung - first the broth tasted weird and had a weird aftertaste. I don't know if the broth was old or what but it was the worst broth I ever had!! No amount of vinegar and/or mustard helped. Gogi naenmyung or basically their version on bibim naenmyung.... It comes with beef and pork - the sauce was under seasoned, bland and after one taste, your asking yourself- "what did I get myself into". As not to waste food, we ate all the noodles as much as we could... but yeah not worth it. If I could give -5 starts I really would!! The restaurant should be banned from serving these noodles!! PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ORDER THE NOODLES!!!!! read more

Thank you Ham Hung Restaurant for one of the best meals I've had in my life. I'm sure many people have stepped into your doors not being able to appreciate what you offer simply because they have never had the privilege of experiencing authentic Korean cuisine. This is as close as it gets to what it genuinely feels like to enjoy a summertime "cold refreshing cold noodle" in Korea, and when I say Korea, I'm talking about the experience of native Koreans who understand the taste that comes from growing up in the motherland, in a native Korean household, experiencing home-made food from their grandparents, uncles, and aunties. These are the people who understand the excellence of food from Jeolla-do and the unique flavors and textures of the countryside compared to modern-day Seoul. This is why so many of your diners are Korean elders; these are the people who have spent a lifetime (in the motherland) appreciating this kind of culinary experience. Ham Hung Restaurant is like the hidden door in Korea Town Los Angeles that takes you in one step, across the world straight to Korea. It takes you to a time, place, an experience that money shouldn't be able to buy. Because of this, Ham Hung Restaurant deserves a Michelin star and I hope this door never closes. mul naengmyeon 물냉면 gogi naengmyeon 고기 냉면 (비빔) jjin-mandu (steamed dumplings) 찐 만두 yukgaejang 육개장 read more

This place is so old school and authentic, I feel lucky that this style of Ktown restaurants is still here. The mul naengmyun is so good, the noodles are the perfect consistency and the portion is huge. The broth is not as sweet as other places do it, which I really appreciate. Also really fair prices! read more

There were 4 of us and 3 had the cold noodles and I had the hot one with rice and it was delicious! I wish we could have taken it with us to go on the plane:) I also ordered the soup with short ribs, barely dug into that as we were so full from our own order. I just wanted to try it all and all the little side dishes and our appetizer was on point. I love Korean restaurants because of all the side dishes:) I was glad a friend took us here because I would come back when I'm in town again. Stop by and try what I order because you will not be disappointed at all! read more

SPICY COLD NOODS!! I had to try these out especially as the weather heats up. It may look intimidating and super spicy, but it actually isn't and is on the more sweeter side. They are served cold and the noodles have to be cut up further with scissors since they are super starchy. It comes with some pickled cucumbers, a hard boiled egg, and your choice of beef, pork, or skate wing (a fish that looks like a sting ray). It also comes with some kimchi and pickled daikon. Definitely a unique dish!! You'll also be served some hot broth as a starter. I don't know if this is sacrilege or not, but I actually like pouring some of the broth soup into the Spicy Cold Noodles to help make it a bit soupy. The lady that served us only spoke mainly Korean too and was super friendly! Oh, and it's in a plaza next to Mumu Bakery for some delish Crossant Taiyaki. Definitely check this place out too!! read more

They have a shared parking lot! This is not a hip, young place but a restaurant that people either grew up with or somewhere that the older folks grab a quick breakfast with $7.99 morning specials. Gogi naengmyeon - the myeon/noodles are good and done well, slices of pork belly and beef, pickled cucumbers and half a hard-boiled egg. LA Galbi - really good. Amount of meat was a little less than I expected though read more

Dined in and got food delivered from here many times since it's close to my place. Every time my husband and I dined here it was always the same server who is super nice. Their spicy pork ribs, dak dori tang, galbi tang, seafood soft tofu, and pork and kimchi kong biji is my top picks. The beef mu kuk is cheap and delicious. The ojingeo bulgogi, ugeoji galbi tang, and dong tae jjigae were pretty good too. I've also tried their nengmyun which was okay and think it could be better since this is a nengmyun place. The ttuk bokki was mediocre. This Korean restaurant is cheaper than other places and the dishes are either a hit or miss that's why we keep coming back to have the ones we like or try something new. read more

full transparency: I ordered off of doordash so this is a takeout order! the noodles weren't separated from the icy soup. to be honest, not my favorite naengmyeon place but I would want to try it in person before making any permanent judgements. the noodles had a sorta crunchy texture? the soup itself was a little bland and after i poured the vinegar, that was the only thing I tasted. i got it with pork and the fat of the pork somehow stuck to the top of my mouth and made my mouth feel weird :( tbh i will try again to see what it is like fresh! read more

So good. So authentic. Dont think twice and plz try. The cold noodles are the best in La. 너무 맛있어요. 오래오래 장사해주세요. 많이 파세요

Love the cold noodles at this place! I first tried this place when they had a location in Rowland Heights. That location no longer exists but I am happy to find them in Koreatown! Everything is delicious as I remember it to be. I love their cold noodles because they use the white thin noodles rather than the brown ones. I think the brown ones are buckwheat and the white ones are the potato noodles. I like the white ones because they have a nicer chewy texture and the noodles are thinner. Besides cold noodle (their specialties), they have a bunch of other things on their menu too if you want to eat something hot. Their complimentary broth is delicious too! They serve it in a pot and a teacup. read more

I stopped by here for their breakfast special and it was a pretty solid (and yummy) deal! Breakfast Special, 7 Days, 7-10am Choice Of: - Beef & Radish Soup - Soybean (Doenjang) & Spinach Soup - Beef & Bean Sprouts Soup **Comes with rice and sides! I had the Soybean & Spinach Soup and I was massive! I'd say it's a little bigger (maybe almost double the size) than a typical soondubu pot. It was super flavorful! I think soybean soup is sometimes an acquired taste, since some people aren't a fan of the fermented soybean flavor. But I personally thought it was very flavorful and not as strong tasting as soybean soup tends to be. There were a lot soybean sprouts and spinach, so it's super filling! If you want a safer option, go for the Beef and Radish Soup (true comfort dish). The sides (banchan) it came with was kimchi, potato, pancake, and radish -- plus egg and rice! Overall, our meal for two came out to $16ish after tip. Great deal for a filling meal, although I do wish more sides were included. read more

I have to give 5 stars for their naeng myun. I grew up with my parents taking us to the original location on Ardmore and I thought all naeng myun was like Ham Hung's naeng myun. As I got older learned that all naeng myun is not the same and I made enough trips back to Koreatown just to get the original and best naeng myun I knew. But I do have some tips and comments after my last visit. Even though they are open at 7 AM, naeng myun, the dish that the restaurant's famous for, is not available until 9:30 or 10 AM. They actually need to make and prep the dough for the noodles and so they offer other morning specials. We were going to get some basic soup and rice dishes to try to wait it out until the naeng myun was available. It must have been a bad morning to try other items on the menu because they forgot to put the tofu in our soy bean paste soup, and also the kimchi jigae had a heavy tomato/ketchup taste perhaps the wrong red sauce was used? One of the banchan dishes that shouldn't have been spicy was extremely spicy as well. Not sure if there was a big mixup in the kitchen but everything seemed a little off. We actually returned later to take some naeng myun home once it was available. I'll have to remind myself to come closer to lunch time so I don't have to opt for other things on the menu. read more

It was super hot today, and my friends and I really wanted to have a refreshing dinner to cool off, and we haven't tried this place before. This is my first time eating Korean cold noodles, so I didn't quite know what to expect. We ordered the mul naengmyeon and a potato pancake -- both were fricken delicious!!! It really hit the spot after a sweaty, tiring day!! The noodles were perfectly chewy and go so well with the icy beef broth. The potato pancakes were crispy and soft. Also, they serve you some hot broth when you sit down, and it complemented the meal very well. I'd imagine that people crave this more when it's hot, but they also have so many hot dishes (perfect for the colder months) that I'd love to try when I'm in SoCal again. Prices are super affordable and unbeatable, and service was wonderful :) read more

Curious to find more (affordable) Korean BBQ in the area, I decided to grab dinner via ordering ahead on the Eat24 app. I'm a big fan of "So (Angus Beef) Bulgogi" so I ordered that combo plus the "Dak (Chicken) Bulgog" combo which each runs $13.99-14.99 each. The sides include kimchi and probably some of the best white rice I've ever had! Soup is also included but found it watery and so-so. Nevertheless, I go for the Beef which was delicious! The chicken is good too but as far as KBBQ goes, the beef is tops! Ham Hung is in a small strip mall off of Olympic and Harvard with a parking lot shaped as a "T." I found parking, and made my way over for my pickup. Staff was polite but didn't quite understand English, but luckily, I pulled out my order confirmation and she immediately grabbed my order. I'll definitely be back for the pricing and specials. This is a hole in the wall so eating in is not fancy at all; expect that mom n pop experience. And add extra rice on that, I'm still thinking about it after the fact! read more

TLDR: food tastes great! But it is pretty pricey. - food recs - We got the naengmyeon and galbi! The naengmyeon was really refreshing and of course, they had the mustard and vinegar on the side so you can put as much as you desire. I don't normally like naengmyeon but this might have changed my mind! It's really light and refreshing, so definitely get this if you're in the mood for something cold during a hot day. It was a good size so I would recommend it to someone who's hungry and looking for only one food to try. The galbi tasted great, but my only thing is the size. It was $27 for like 3 ribs of galbi, so not the best price you can kind in Koreatown. That being said, it was cooked really well and I do recommend it for the taste. - wait time - I went at about 1 pm on a Saturday and it was pretty packed, but we were sat down immediately! - parking - Plenty of parking in the big parking area! You're pretty guaranteed to find a parking spot. Parking is free. - service - They're kind here! They have a lot of customers so they're always really busy. read more

I WOULD GIVE 0 STARS IF I COULD!! We ordered $75 worth of takeout and it only takes 5 mins at most to get home. The food was HORRIFIC. We ordered hwe naengmyun and mul naengmyun and the noodles lit broke off into tiny pieces!!!?? We called the "manager" and he said he cooked the noodles on the spot but.. what noodles break off and melt at the slightest touch if made on the spot?? I took a video but it doesn't give me an option to upload it. If only I could.. The picture of the green onion was terrible too. It wasn't fresh at all and it was flat. By the condition it arrived in, it's def. over a week old or something. And don't get me started on their side dishes!! Holy crap I literally almost threw up from it. As shown in the pictures, I tried their pickled dish (?) and the amount of vinegar doesn't cover how spoiled it is!! They mixed it with perilla leaf and it made the kimchi spoiled. I spit it out as soon as I put it in my mouth. To top it off, their service was horrible. The manager said he couldn't do anything and kept saying that he made the noodles on the spot. We had to go back to the restaurant in person to prove a point and get some kind of refund for the disgusting food. read more

Typical hole in the wall Korean traditional restaurant with neighbors and takeout customers keeping the place open. Staple foods like NangMyeon with cold thin buckwheat noodles and excellent GgackDdooGi kimchi made of turnip squares and simple Banchan of two or three dishes were adequately prepared for the discerning Korean food critics. However the place is dated, one server for ten plus tables give solid four stars. The second main dish was fantastic, the cabbage rib soup, old fashioned bean paste based soup and two large beef ribs with generous meat on it tasted pretty decent. The style of cooking was very much home cooking with $14 average prices that are well below your average over priced Los Angeles Korea Town restaurants! I will definitely go back. Parking was free and adequate with security guard. Next door and the small mall were all busy with King Mandoo restaurant and two pastry shops. Mukbang friends: Try You Must! read more
