Their soondae is approachable, flavorful, and very well made. You can also order it with soup, which you season to taste, and the two make such a comforting and hearty meal together. Based on how good the soondae is, I wouldn't be surprised if their bossam is just as delicious. I'd highly recommend this spot, especially for anyone looking to try soondae or craving a satisfying Korean meal.

This is for a delivery order as I'm sure it's much better when you eat in person. It just seems…read morewrong when it's apparent that "older" and "not the best" pieces are given as to go/delivery. We ordered jokbal and soondae. First... they do not give kimchi (read that again... for a Korean jokbal place). The rice was basically one big lumpy piece since it was old. The jokbal came cold (which I verified with the restaurant that it should come hot- so a much older piece). It was even more evident of it being old that nothing was juicy and was filled with dry pieces. Look at pic. Also I was angered when I looked at their yelp pictures to see what a small soondae looks like at the restaurant and compared to what we got. Look at the picture and see for yourself. To the restaurant- be fair, serve best pieces and if something is not up to par- do not serve it. Do not take advantage of the deliveries by discarding the unsatisfactory food to that service.

Super solid Korean restaurant with very generous portions in Ktown! We definitely didn't expect the…read moreportions to be this big and ordered way too much food for just 2 people. Needless to say, we ended up with A LOT of leftovers Here's what we had: - Jokbal (pig's trotters) + complimentary hot soup - Gopchang bokum (beef intestines) - Gamja tang (spicy pork bone soup with potatoes) - Galbi tang (beef short ribs soup) They're popular for their jokbal and bossam, so of course, the jokbal was a hit! Tender, juicy, and smoky pig trotters that you wrap in lettuce with banchan. The spicy dipping sauce was SO good too! And the best part was probably the complimentary hot soup! We didn't know it came with jokbal, so we ordered 2 soups separately and ended up with 3 soups total for just 2 people All 3 were great, but my favorite was definitely the galbi tang. It was so comforting with a clear beef broth and super tender beef ribs. The gopchang bokum was a little bitter for my taste, so I probably wouldn't recommend that one. I really have to emphasize how generous the portions are. We had plenty left to take home, it was honestly way too much food for 2 people. Ideally, I'd say jokbal + galbi tang would be more than enough for 2, but we were traveling and wanted to try a little bit of everything, so no regrets! We came around 8pm, and the restaurant was super busy when we arrived. Despite that, the staff were still so friendly and attentive, and we felt very welcomed throughout the meal. Bonus Chicha San Chen is very close to this place, you can make a boba trip right after this heavy meal! Overall, a great spot with delicious food, huge portions, and really friendly service. Highly recommend!

Malatang is a popular Chinese street food that has become a trendy dish in South Korea, known for its spicy and numbing broth made with Sichuan peppercorns.You get to customize your bowls with a variety of fresh ingredients like vegetables, meats, and noodles, which are then cooked in a broth or stir fried and served in a single bowl. The bowl is weighted and charged per pound. You can even get it in story fry dry version which is more packed with spice. I enjoy the broth version, which is creamier or more flavorful and easier on the stomach. I always over order and walk away with several days worth of lunch.

It's packed with seafood, squid, shrimp, vegetables, and generous portions of noodles. This is not a light snack disguised as a meal--it's a substantial dish loaded with quality ingredients. The broth is what truly sets it apart. Unlike many restaurants that rely on commercial soup bases, this broth has incredible depth and complexity. After speaking with the owner, I learned it is made from scratch and requires many hours of preparation. You can immediately taste the difference. Every spoonful is refreshing, savory, and full of flavor without being overly salty. The presentation is beautiful as well. The clear golden broth, fresh vegetables, seafood, and noodles create a dish that looks as good as it tastes. The fried dumplings and stir-fried beef on the side make the meal even more satisfying. The owner is friendly, passionate, and always willing to share the story behind the food. That personal touch makes the dining experience even better. My only complaint is that this dish is available only during the hot summer months and is not served during winter. Then again, perhaps that's what makes it so special. If you're looking for authentic Chinese-style cold noodles made the traditional way, this is a must-try. I rarely tell people they "have to" order a particular dish, but this is one of them. Try it once, and you'll understand why I keep coming back.

If I eat beef it will send me to the hospital. Since the owner was rude, I sat with my friend and didn't buy anything. The owner's excuse is that they serve authentic food, but this has nothing to do with that, I just asked for substituting food. Your kitchen cooks chicken. It cooks black bean noodles. I have eaten in many korean, and chinese restaurants and I never have issues asking for chicken instead of beef/pork/seafood. This is the only llace I've seen in my life that does this.

The noodles had great texture, the broth was rich without being overly salty, and the side dishes were fresh and plentiful. Service was straightforward and efficient--not overly chatty, but they got the job done and kept things moving smoothly. You won't feel ignored, but you also won't be on a first-name basis with your server by the end of the night. Ambiance is simple and casual. It's not trying to be fancy--it's more of a laid-back, everyday kind of place where the focus is clearly on the food. If you're looking for a trendy vibe, this isn't it. But if you just want solid Korean comfort food, it delivers. Overall: great for when you're craving noodles and want an honest, satisfying meal without the frills.

We ordered the seafood pancake which I thought was good, but honestly didn't wow me. I wished it was a little crispier and more loaded. The spicy cold noodles with LA galbi, though? Delicious! The noodles were cold, refreshing, and packed with flavor, and the galbi was a great pairing. They also have free cups of broth which was delicious and such a nice touch. I wasn't expecting it to be so packed during dinner, but I can see why. The vibe is very casual and cafe like you order at the counter, pick up your food when it's ready, and return your tray when you're done. Definitely a solid spot when you're craving Korean comfort food, especially on a hot day!
