LEE GA - 6.마라설렁탕/Mala Sulung Tang - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Top-tier Korean spot for high quality cold noodles and soup. Mul meang myun had perfectly chewy noodles and refreshing broth and this was one of the best cold noodle dishes I've had in recent memory. I think the cold noodles here are among some of the best in Koreatown. The Leega sul lung tang tasted high quality and had a very clean broth. Furthermore, great thin dumpling skin on the kimchi dumplings and great kimchi side dishes. read more

We went to Lee Ga with a strong craving for bibim naengmyeon and they def delivered!! We came for a Sunday lunch, and there was already a line out the door by the time we arrived. The wait was probably around 15-20 minutes. The parking situation is standard to the area; either get lucky finding street parking, or pay for valet. My BF and I got the naengmyeon and beef back rib combo to share. The price point was super solid for the amount of food; approx. $28 for the combo! They're generous with the refills of the banchan, so this was just the right amount of food for us. The bibim naengmyeon was refreshing, sweet, and spicy all at the same time. Perfect for a hot day! The noodles here are very thin compared to other versions of this dish that I've had. The beef back ribs were good, but didn't quite hit it out the park. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, but I felt like the marinade was a bit too mild for me since I didn't feel like I tasted much out of it. read more

Solid spot for bibim naengmyeon, pork ribs, and dumplings. Unfortunately they were out of soy marinated beef and pork ribs at this time. Got the combo spicy cold noodles + beef ribs ($28). Beef Ribs were soooo tender and tasty whilst the naengmyeon kinda lacked in flavor and chewiness. Kimchi was alright, but I looooved the cucumber and soybean paste. Would come back for the ribs too. Took a little bit for us to wave down someone to take our order, but overall friendly and fast paced. Parking is $3 Valet which is not bad! Around 7pm on a Sunday, valet was able to point us into a spot and allowed us to self park as long as we paid upfront. read more

Yum yum yum. Parking inside plaza is $3, there's a wait, but worth itttt. Those house made naengmyeon noodles are chef's kiss. The banchan are yum. Everything is flavored so well, so refreshing, spicy and tangy, will get over and over again. Place is busy but severs are moving as efficiently as they can. Great place as long as you're willing to deal w/ Ktown parking and a wait. read more

LEE GA - Bibim Naengmyeon - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The.Best.Cold.Noodles.I've.Ever.Had. Just wow... I knew from the pictures that it was going to be delicious, but to actually try it and it tasting exactly the way you imagined it to be is a different kind of happiness. I've had my fair share of Korean restaurants that offer cold noodles like Mo Ran Gak and Jin Cook, but nothing will beat this spot. The noodles are thin and chewy; the bibim neang myun wasn't spicy but it was sweet; and the portion was just perfect. I'm so mad I found a place I'll be drooling over as I made it firm that no restaurant in LA is worth driving for -- until I tried Lee Ga. It's just simply delicious. I will be back... read more

Was it raining all day, soup is the answer. Sorry don't remember what exactly we ordered but the smaller bowl of red soup was very spicy, too spicy for me. The other soup/stew with vegetable vegetables, was a hint sweet and delicious! Customer Service was good. Restaurant is located in a small shopping center with valet parking. read more

Korean friend recommended Leega as their go to for soup. We ordered 3 items: #7 Leega sulung tang $17.45, #1 Leega Gukbab $17.45, Bulgogi dolsot bibimbap $18.99 Sulung tang had plentiful beef strips. Broth was bland. Our girls requested to add salt. Gukbab meat had a lot of fat. Had to verify what it was (looked like intestines). Flavor was good. Didn't taste the ox bone broth. Bibimbap was plated nicely. We chose the bulgogi option (tofu also an option, same price). Appreciated the mushrooms and zucchini. (My favorite bibimbap is still at KTP cafeteria--always solid) Ambience was modern and clean. Two separate bathrooms for men and women (clean and stocked). We came around 11am on a Sunday. It was relatively empty. By noon, all the tables were full. Service was typical of a Korean establishment. You get better service when you're Korean. My husband is Korean but looks Chinese; he also doesn't speak Korean fluently so these two factors didn't work in our favor. Had to ask for more utensils as the table was not well stocked (metal and plastic available) and also for extra bowls (we have young kids). They were willing to accommodate. If you want barley tea (boricha), you have to ask and you'll need to let them know for how many people (no extra charge). read more

Came to Lee Ga on a Sunday afternoon around 4pm. It was pretty full but they just cleaned a table for us quickly & we were seated within a few minutes. It's a small place with a constant stream of patrons. Service was good. Good was great. Here's what we ordered: Half & Half meat & kimchi dumplings - 4/5. Kimchi is just right, not too spicy. #30 cold buckwheat noodles in beef broth 3/5 - I wanted to like it but I think I prefer hot broth. Almost everyone in there was enjoying cold noodles so it's just me. #23 prime seok galbi 5/5 - really good. There's precut pieces of meat under the green onions & 2 pieces with bone. Underneath slices of potato which soaks up the juice. One of my favorite things about Korean food is the banchan. This place only gives you 3: kimchi, radish kimchi, sliced cucumber with a chili miso paste. Overall it was a good experience & we enjoyed our meal. read more

A great place not just for naengmyun but for a variety of other soup based dishes and spicy food! My mom (we're Korean) heard about this place from her Korean network so that's the first indicator that it must be good lol. We got bibim naengmyun, mandu, and mala sullungtang. My partner said the mala was like eating spicy hot pot broth. We really enjoyed everything, the mandu was a surprise "we liked it more than we thought we would" hit. There's valet parking which is really convenient! read more

Fav meal of the month! I cannot express how much I love Korean food. How is everything so tasty and full of flavor?? As usual, I'm drooling as I'm writing this review. I never order my cold noodles spicy as most places just have it super spicy but the one at Lee Ga is on the sweet & spicy side. The noodles are so thin yet has a nice chew/bounciness to it. I could honestly eat the entire bowl myself. The beef ribs were perfectly tender as well, the meat comes right off the bone! They also serve hot bone broth on the side if you order the spicy cold noodles and that was a great touch to help wash everything down. I didn't get to try the spicy pork as much as I was too busy eating my food (the other meal was the fiance's pick) but the soybean soup was the most flavorful soybean soup I've ever had. I almost wanna go back to ask for the recipe because I could prob eat that soup every day. It tasted so clean and healthy, but also packed with flavor. It's the perfect soup to eat with any type of meat (would prob pair so well with fried fish!) The restaurant is on the smaller side but looking around, everyone seemed to be enjoying their meal. Street parking is definitely harder to find in that area since it's a high traffic intersection but there's valet parking available for $3. Lastly, the service was amazing. The owner (?) was so hospitable and had us laughing the whole time. Definitely in my top 5 places to eat in Ktown now and we'll be back for sure! read more

LEE GA - Spicy cold noodle and beef rib combo + spicy pork and soybean soup meal - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is great! I don't know Korean food well enough to say if this is "authentic" but the cuisine I had was new to me. I came for lunch and parking is easy enough with a nominal valet charge. It was a bit drizzly so I didn't feel like street parking. Service was above average and the restaurant is typical of smaller Korean restaurants, which is great! My wife and I ordered the 비빔냉면 Bibim Neang Myun and the 갈비탕 Galbi Tang (2PCS) lunch special. Both were good, but the combo of spicy, sweet, cold, and chewy/springy textured noodles and sauce in the Neang Myun was life changing for me. It's a bit of a trek for me to get here, but would definitely want to come back again! read more

LEE GA is an EXCELLENT Korean restaurant! My Yelp friend recommended this place (Hi Richard O!). Thanks buddy! I wanted to come here and try the "cold noodles", it's one of their specialty items on the menu. The freshly made buckwheat noodles are made in-house with their imported custom made machine from Korea. It's truly perfection in a bowl. I ordered a few things to try and was just blown away at the quality of food and attention to details. Everything here is pretty much homemade and so delicious! Don't miss the charcoal-boiled soy-marinated prime beef short ribs or any of their hot beef-based stews which are also their specialty. Lastly, if you love "kimchi", they make some of the best kimchi in town! I mean just wow! Their secret recipe only the chef knows, but I do know that they put shellfish in their kimchi and it's delicious! Just mentioning it as a heads up if you have allergies to shellfish. I can't wait to return and try more items on the menu. The staff are amazing and make you feel welcomed. The food is phenomenal! High recommend Lee Ga! -Parking: Valet ($3); or street parking. -Payment: Credit and Cash. - ))))CLOSED ON TUESDAYS(((( read more

Leega has been on our list for a while and I cannot believe it took me this long to make the trip. Every bite was absolutely fantastic. The sides were delicious, and the ribs were so so so tasty. I probably could have had 10 more of them... lol. The beef soup and the creamy broth with the spicy naengmyeun were delicious! I cannot believe how fantastic the spicy sauce was. It wasn't overpowering but still a great amount of spice. Of course the soups were the main feature of the meal but the pancake was so good that it almost outshined the entrees! The only problem with going back is that I don't know if we'll be able to try anything else! Everything was fantastic. read more

We went with our parents to try Lee Ga in Ktown and we really enjoyed our meal. We got the spicy galbi jjim, hot stone bimbimbap, chive pancake and boiled assorted beef in ox bone soup. We got mild for the galbi jjim and it was perfect - the cheese, spices and toppings melded together so well. The bimbimbap with the toasted rice and crispy chive pancake were delicious. The ox bone soup was hearty and came with a lot of meat. The ban chan includes kimchi made with oysters, pickled daikon radish and boiled cabbage (which may change depending on the day) Overall, everything was amazing and we can't wait to go back! Pro tip: portions for the stew were large and definitely shareable. read more

/)/) ( . .) ( づ still my all time favorite Korean spot in la. Quality, taste and freshness is still top tier. Appreciate that they dont compromise quality.

Visiting my friends in LA while the summer nights are hot so they recommended we go eat cold noodles. We just finished a workout so were hungry and over ordered. I ordered the naengmyeon + pork ribs, and ordered the galbi jjim to share . The cold noodles were refreshing, and a great post workout meal on a hot day. The added pork ribs were well flavored and fall off the bone. Portions were huge and I was only able to finish eat one more rib from the galbi jimm. Galbi jjim was great as well, packed with meat and vegetables. Wish we had a location like this in San Diego. read more

My friends and I were craving nengmyun, and were so happy we chose Lee Ga to satisfy the nengmyun craving. We split a bulgogi bc we felt we needed a meat dish along w our noodles, but little did we know, bulgogi also comes w a hot soup. Everything from the bulgogi, hot soup, nengmyun to the dumplings were excellent. Korean food done so well. The service was amazing too, so friendly and helpful. The ambiance is a standard Korean restaurant, nothing crazy, but homey. There's easy parking in the lot outside. We had a wonderful time at Lee Ga! read more

We were craving mul naengmyun on a hot day, and this spot hit the mark. The noodles were perfectly chilled, flavorful, and so refreshing. We also tried the beef back ribs, which were deliciously tender and well-seasoned. While they were a bit on the pricey side, the quality was definitely there. Portions are generous, so my friend and I split both dishes and it ended up being the perfect amount of food. Another plus: parking is super convenient with valet available in the shared lot, which made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for satisfying Korean comfort food! read more

me and my friend were craving korean food so we decided to check out this place. - we did valet parking for $3. there was a waitlist & we waited roughly around 20 mins before being seated. - we shared the neang myun combo of the bibim neang myun (rate: 4.7/5) and the 2 pcs beef back rib (rate: 4.7/5). this was one of the top cold noodles i have had, the amount of spice & the taste of the beef broth were great! the beef rib was so tender and loved how easy it was for the meat to come off the bone. loved the side dishes it came with as well! - the interior was small and the service was nice. would love to come back here again if ever in the koreatown area. read more

Lee Ga is probably one of my favorite Korean spots in K-town. Food is tasty and comforting. Something like a Korean grandma would make at home. Food: Nengmyun is yummy and refreshing Banchan - all the side dishes were great Dumplings - fantastic. light and and flavorful Galbi - pricey but very delicious. It's meant to be shared. Service: Very busy but they're still efficient and friendly. Parking: Paid valet. read more

Service was a little lackluster. Some of the workers don't speak English or minimally so it's hard to communicate at times. Didn't seem to get checked on regularly when we wanted something like water. Things are clean. It's not a huge place and the parking is valet. Street parking is another option but things do get hectic in downtown regardless Food for price is decent but not amazing. I thought it was overpriced for the quality. I was hoping for a little more given the prior reviews so was definitely underwhelmed. Maybe it was a bad day so if I stop by again we'll see if things are better. Service: 2/5 Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 read more

Everything is delicious. Everything. Please never change. But if it's your first time here and you're hungry get the 프라임 석갈비 구이 Prime Seok Galbi - split between two people you will have leftovers for the next day for two people.

This Hidden gem is serving cold noodles in K-Town Los Angeles. This place is y new favorite restaurant in KTown. Their cold noodles (naengmyeon) are a popular dish, especially refreshing and satisfying when paired with Korean BBQ. The broth in their mul naengmyeon (cold noodles in a chilled, tangy beef broth) is flavorful and well-seasoned, with a nice balance of savory and slightly sweet, and it's icy cold, which is perfect for hot days. The broth has a depth that enhances the chewy noodles and complements BBQ dishes nicely. Lee Ga's noodles are traditionally chewy and stretchy, as naengmyeon noodles should be, made from a blend of buckwheat and sweet potato starch. They're served with the perfect texture, which gives a fun and satisfying bite. Service is excellent and the place is clean. Love every moment of it and I can't stop thinking about the food. Dont Forget their lunch Special as well. read more

My favorite place to get Naengmyeon in K town. Their noodles are extremely thin and chewy - I have not found better in k town yet. The broth is hearty and flavorful, especially when you add the mustard and vinegar. My absolute favorite naengmyeon here, though, is the Jengban Neang Myun. The addition of perilla leaf to the spicy sauce + cabbage mix that the noodles sit on top gives a completely extra flavor dimension. But, I also really like to get the Mul Neang Myun combo with the spare rib - it's a great deal!! Beware, though - the naengmyeon comes with a LOT of noodles - good enough to split into two meals. Though the noodles don't keep well the next day sadly. I've had some of their other menu items and they are very solid. Would order again, but I also come back to get the naengmyeon bc I love noodles too much. Their banchan is also really good. The kimchi is made with oysters (though you will not always get an oyster in the kimchi banchan), which is what gives the extra oomph to the kimchi flavor. I love it. Oh, also if you order naengmyeon, it comes with a cup of hot bone broth which is SO DELICIOUS. I came to Lee Ga twice within 5 days. That's how much I love this place!!! read more

I saw Lee Ga on IG one day, With rave reviews, I was ready to sway. But when I went with a friend, oh dear, The portions were small, and I left with no cheer. For $70, two dishes we got, But after the meal, I was still feeling fraught. The Seok Galbi was chewy, too tough to chew, And the soup was plain -- what was I to do? The banchan did help, but still, I sighed, For a $40 short rib, I felt like I'd been denied. Though the staff was kind and the spot was neat, I couldn't leave feeling full or complete. So, while others rave and say it's divine, For me, the prices don't quite align. A place for some, but I'll seek elsewhere, Hoping Lee Ga will improve with care! read more

Came here for Lunch before a graduation. You can valet or free parking a couple of blocks on Wilshire on Sundays. We ordered the bugogi hansang which comes with banchan, rice, and claypot of vegetable soup. Really filling, delicious and healthy! The kimchi had extra umami from the anchovies, you get a choice of purple rice, and the soup had this green vegetable that was nicely braised, tender and felt like home cooked, I loved it all. The bulgogi was very tender, wish it was a bit less sweet, but still very tasty. We also ordered the spicy pork version and wished maybe a bit less sauce, but still we gobbled it all up. Quick and friendly service! Definitely recommend this place! If you think you may have leftovers, bring Tupperware as you have to pay extra for takeout boxes. read more
