I came here for a quick lunch and got the clam kalguksu and mung bean pancake. The noodles were excellent and exactly what I was craving. The broth was light and tasty. And the mung bean pancake was delicious. I think it tasted better than the one I had in Seoul which is saying something. Overall I'll definitely be back to try more food. read more

Miari Noodle House - Clam Kalguksu - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here a few times already and it's one of those spots with a really wide variety of Korean dishes, including some you don't see very often. Honestly, it's hard for Koreans to agree on Korean food, but this place does a solid job overall. There's something for everyone, which makes it an easy spot to come with family or a group. We ordered dotori-muk, kimchi pancake, grilled mackerel with cabbage soup, mul milmyeon, aged kimchi pork rib hot pot, and yukgaejang. Our favorite was the mul milmyeon with pa kimchi -- super refreshing and balanced. The food feels homey and comforting, and considering prices these days, it's pretty reasonable too. They offer both white rice and multigrain rice, and there's also counter seating by the kitchen if you're dining solo. They also sell their house-made kimchi in containers for $10 each. read more

The locals and the older generation know this spot. It's a no frills spot for some of the best clam knife cut noodle soup. Fresh clams paired with the delicious broth and the kimchi is a match made in heaven. Other dishes here are also very good. read more

Although this spot is primarily visited by older people, it's one of my favorite spots of their pork kimchi jungol! We always get it when we come here. Every time I come here, I do try new items; however, I wasn't really a fan of it besides the jungol. Service is nice and fast, and their restaurant is kept clean. I recommend trying them out at least once if you're in k-town! read more

Miari Noodle House - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My family and I walked in on a Friday evening and there were a couple tables available. I got the clam kinchi kalguksu. It was not too salty and there were tons of noodles and clams in the soup! One bowl is very filling and the price is very reasonable. There is parking inside the plaza as well as some street parking. read more

Classic Korean comfort food!! This place gives off such comfy home cooking vibes, like when you go to grandma's house and just know that the food is going to be good. It's simple, no frills, nothing fancy...just really really good. Clam Kalguksu ($17.99)-- The soup is so well seasoned yet clean and light. The anchovy and clam base is strong and well flavored, not too bland or not too salty, just perfect. I love how the soup is clear and not starchy like some places where the noodles/potato starch thickens the soup. The clams they're generous with and cleaned well (no sand or grit in any of them). Noodles are cooked well! It just made for such a comforting bowl. Seasoned Thistle (Gondre) Rice ($17.99)-- It's vegetarian but really sooooooo good. A dish has to be really good for me to order it over a meat option. The seasoned thistle is a type of vegetable... wouldn't say it has a distinct taste but it just mixes well with the rice. The sauce is salty, savory, umami and just made it so easy to finish the whole bowl of rice. It comes with a cabbage soup that's made with I think beef bone and seasoned with white pepper. Banchan personally was whatever but the main dishes were just so perfect I can't even be mad. Aunties are very nice and fast with service. Just raise your hand and they'll come to you, otherwise they leave you alone to enjoy your meal. read more

It was so hot outside when we went, but the hot clam kalguksu was surprisingly refreshing and comforting! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. We also ordered the summer special cold acorn jelly soup (muk-sabal), and it was absolutely delicious. The portion was very generous, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Such a great spot for both hot and cold dishes -- highly recommend! read more

I came here on with a group of 5 via car on a Sunday evening late February 2026. Parking was easy and all free. They have their own lot in the plaza they're in but if that fills up, there's also a free parking structure at the ktown galleria just west of it, right across (they close the garage doors at a certain point but left one entrance open for us to get in and leave from). The banchan was really good. Kimchi was spicy and sufficiently funky. We got the Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup, Clams Noodle Soup, Kimchi Tofu Casserole, and Kimchi pancake. Food was very good. The highlight were the Kimchi pancake and the Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup. A ton of flavor - definitely hit the spot on a cold LA evening. We had a Korean with us so the service was great. Have not been here without having a Korean friend with us, but they seemed nice enough. They refrigerated a birthday cake for us and did not charge us an extra fee. Would recommend if you're in the area and craving something soupy in cold weather. read more

I finally made it to Miari Noodle House after hearing that a lot of Korean celebrities eat here whenever they're in LA -- and let me just say, the hype is REAL. From the moment the banchan hit the table, I knew this was going to be good. The barley rice with vegetables instantly took me back to childhood. It's simple, nostalgic, and so comforting -- the kind of side dish that makes you feel at home before the main dishes even arrive. The 물밀면 (mul milmyeon) completely makes sense as one of their most popular items. The broth is icy, refreshing, slightly tangy, and incredibly clean-tasting. The noodles have the perfect chew, and it's the kind of dish that's especially satisfying if you want something light but still flavorful. We also tried the 칼제비, which is a combination of hand-pulled dough and noodles in a comforting broth. This dish felt like a warm hug -- hearty, filling, and deeply satisfying without being too heavy. The texture contrast between the noodles and the pulled dough makes it extra special. And the 곤드레 비빔밥 paired with spicy 아구찜? Absolutely insane. The gondre (wild vegetable) adds an earthy depth to the bibimbap, and the spicy braised monkfish brought bold heat and serious flavor. Everything tasted authentic and thoughtfully prepared. read more

There were so many Korean dishes here that I hadn't tried before, like the braised monkfish bean sprouts. The sauce on the noodles was so good, almost reminded me of a marinara. We also got the mung bean pancake, which was really crispy on the outside. The menu is pretty big, and I loved that they have photos of the dishes on the walls. It made it super easy to decide what to order, especially if you're not familiar with everything. It did get pretty packed around 6-ish, so expect a crowd during dinner time. Parking was free with their underground parking, which was a big plus. read more

You know it's gonna be good when you walk in and it's full of Korean seniors. We got the clam kalguksu and cold noodles. The clams tasted fresh and I liked that there were no closed shells. The kalguksu could probably feed two people since it felt like a lot for one meal. I was a little bummed that they couldn't make it spicy, but it was still good. The cold noodles were refreshing, but nothing to write home about for me. The service was friendly and quick. Parking is tight. You'd have better luck parking in the neighborhood than in the parking lot. read more

Came here after hearing a lot about it, and honestly... one visit is not enough The menu has way too many things I want to try, so I already know I am coming back. First off, the staff. Very no-nonsense, super efficient, and everything came out fast. Kind of that classic Korean spot energy, which I liked The kimchi clam kalguksu was Spicy, comforting, and the portion was huge. Definitely hits if you want something warm and bold. The suyuk platter was also really good. Different cuts of pork, all tender and flavorful. But the real star was the broth on the side... seriously next level. Perfect with soju ‍ Just one sip and it keeps going. And the dumplings... I am a dumpling person, so I do not say this lightly. They were packed, clean-tasting, and super satisfying. No shortcuts. Honestly, this place just feels like somewhere you keep coming back to. Already planning to go back soon and do a full food run read more

Living in East L.A., whenever I drive to K-town , I have to hunt down some real Korean food I can't find anywhere else. This time I was so happy I tried Miari Noodle House. First win--it has plenty of parking , which is already rare in K-town. As soon as I sat down, the biggest surprise was the banchan. Besides the usual kimchi, they served their own beef side dish and even barley rice . Honestly, that spread alone already felt so filling. Even though it's called a noodle house, the menu has way more than just noodles. The dumplings were stuffed and homemade , not the frozen kind. The pancake was crispy and flavorful , and they even helped cut it for us. Then came the dishes I was most excited about: the clam noodle soup and the ox knee soup . Both were clean yet so flavorful--perfect for someone like me who enjoys lighter Asian tastes. And since my husband wanted spice , we tried the stir-fried octopus --fresh, chewy, and packed with flavor. Definitely a K-town spot worth coming back to! IG : socalhkfoodies read more

OVERALL : Spots like Miari Noodle House make you feel like you're transported straight to Korea -- think small, cozy mom-and-pop stores run by Korean aunties who are making comforting homestyle dishes. It was a full house when I visited on a Sat afternoon, and the shop was filled with korean locals so I knewwww it was legit! Even Korean celebrities who are from Korea would come here to eat when they're visiting the states! Despite how busy it was, they were super quick to bring out water, sides, take my order, and bring out the food. Their dishes focus on noodles (both hot and cold), but they also had a lot of other traditional apps and entrees on the menu. It was def fun to try other Korean foods outside of the usual mainstream soondubu and teeokbokki that I usually see at other Korean places. PARKING : There is a small lot for the plaza, but it's tight. There's only about 13 spots, and it was packed when I visited on a Sat noon. They also have an underground parking lot, so I'd recommend parking there instead if you're going during peak meal hours! FOOD/DRINKS : Clam Noodle Soup - Also known as Kalguksu, made with fresh knife-cut noodles in a clam broth. Lot of plump clams! Noodles were "slippery" and fresh, had a nice bite and not soggy. Broth was very clean tasting, savory and cozy! Cold Noodle - Thin chewy noodles in a cold broth. Super refreshing esp on a hot day! Seasoned Thistle with Rice + Cabbage Soup - My first time having this kind of "bibimbap". Perfectly cooked rice and the thistle was seasoned perfectly + flavorful! Cabbage soup tasted like a delicious homecooked soup Braised Spicy Monkfish - Chunks of monkfish cooked with a big pile of beansprouts in slightly spicy red sauce. The sprouts are crunchy and saucy while the fish was a similar texture to cod. Super unique, my first time having it! read more

I'm so glad we discovered this neighborhood gem. We walked in and were sat promptly by the staff and quickly decided what we wanted to order. The interior is covered with pictures of the different dishes in Korean so I knew right away the food was going to be great. We started with Kimchi Pancake which was absolutely amazing. It was moist and not overwhelming in taste of kimchi. The spicy beef soup was amazing and had glass noodles in it which I absolutely love so this was such a nice surprise. The spice level wasn't too high but it cleared my sinuses and made me feel not so sick anymore. My favorite was the Boiled Oxhead slices especially when paired with the soy sauce and wasabi. We were lucky enough to meet the owners as well who were so so sweet and welcoming. I felt like part of the family here. I will definitely be back again. read more

It's like being at a family party and your aunts are serving up food with love. It was so lovely. It's a busy restaurant so there may be a wait, but it's worth it. The inside is clean.

Cali is getting cold weather again, so you know what that means .. soup weather! Parking: They're located in a very small plaza with very limited parking. We parked in a parking garage across the street. Free parking lot or parking garage. Ambiance/Environment: They have a medium sized space with a decent amount of seating. We visited during lunch time, and it was packed. They also have outdoor seating with a tent. Since it was busy inside, we sat outside. Service: Everyone was absolutely courteous, attentive, and quick! We were constantly checked on. We got the pleasure of meeting the owners, and they were absolutely sweet. Everyone speaks limited English but enough to get by. Foods: 1. Spicy Beef Soup - This was sooo delicious! There was a generous amount of beef! The soup was piping hot, which was perfect for the cold weather. The clear noodles were cooked well. 2. Spicy Fish Egg Casserole - The portion size was huge, so it is definitely shareable. The soup was flavorful! It had lots of tofu and vegetables. The casserole surprisingly wasn't too chewy; it added a nice texture to the dish. 3. Bibimbap with brown rice + cabbage soup - The cabbage soup was good! The bibimbap was spicyyy. It contained a generous amount of rice and vegetables. No protein in this dish. 4. Boiled Dumpling - These were bigger than I thought! These dumplings were also FILLED! The filling was seasoned well and the outer layer was steamed to perfection. Pricing: LA is always expensive, but it was definitely worth it. The flavors were present and the portion sizes were generous for one dish. read more

We went for dinner during the week. There is plenty of free parking including a parking structure below the shopping center where Miari is located. The ambiance is warm and inviting. It felt like walking into a friend's home. There are so many incredible options to choose from. We went with boiled dumplings. The dumplings were soft and pillowy and stuffed with meat and vegetables. They also bring out cabbage and daikon kimchi. The kimchi is crispy and delicious. You can even get white rice or purple rice. They even have corn tea on the table. We ordered three different soups. We got the kimchi and clam soup with knife cut noodles. I would order this again and my own order too. The noodles are soft and delicious. The broth isn't too spicy but brought just the right amount of heat for me. The clams were very fresh and added some brininess to the broth. We also got the cabbage and short rib soup. So much cabbage and massive pieces of short rib on the bone. The cabbage just absorbed the flavor of the broth and I couldn't get enough. We also got a massive ox knee casserole. The veggies were so good and flavorful here. So much ox knee added to the flavor of the broth. Incredibly friendly and helpful service with amazing food makes Miari Noodle House a restaurant I cannot wait to come back again. read more

Miari Noodle House is a calm and traditional spot that has been around for a long time. I had heard it was the original and wanted to give it a try, but honestly it did not live up to Hangari Milmyeon for me. The broth started out flavorful but faded quickly, and after the first minute it just tasted plain. The noodles themselves were fine but nothing special. I also ordered the suyeok which was very good with tender meat that was enjoyable to eat. The biggest issue was the experience of eating outside. We sat there on a Saturday afternoon and did not notice until it was too late that several fruit flies had fallen into both my noodles and the suyeok. For what it was, the meal was already not amazing, and then the total came out to one hundred thirty dollars for two noodle dishes and the suyeok. When we brought up the issue, they did not offer any compensation and simply said they should have turned the fans on, which was a frustrating response. If you go, definitely eat inside. The food is decent, especially the suyeok, but overall it was a disappointing visit given the price and experience. read more

If you're looking for a mom and pop restaurant, this is the one. KTown has so many great restaurants and Miari is one of them. I got to meet the owners, a lovely older couple, and they were just the sweetest! When we arrived, this spot was busy. Seems like a local fave. I know it may not be soup weather yet, but that didn't stop me from ordering them. I tried the claim noodle soup, beef brisket soup, and pork rib with kimchi stew. The noodles in the clam soup had a nice texture. They felt homemade. Soft chew and it went perfect with the soup. Loved the beef brisket with its vermicelli noodles and the pork ribs were so tender. We also tried the boiled dumpling and kimchi pancake. The mandu was delicious and I loved their kimchi pancake. We paired our hearty meal with a bottle of makgeoli. read more

this was SO GOOD! as someone who LOVES korean food, this really hit the spot. service was quick and they even walk around refilling the kimchi with a big bowl and tongs! i really liked the seaweed banchan, as it was perfectly sour and refreshing. galbi tang (10/10): honestly so good! my partner said that this was VERY authentic, and held more of an herby and healthy taste, where you taste the meat and spices alot. kimchi and anchovy kalguksu (10/10): the noodles were IMPRESSIVELY chewy. they so soften over time, but that's very expected as the soup comes PIPING hot. i loved the zucchini and the thin slices of potato in them. the soup was very umami and had a good amount of seasoning. the portions here are HUGE. me and my partner probably could have ordered a small side dish with the kalguksu and both been full. highly recommend if you like noodle soups! read more

You can send me NOODS anytime if it's from @miarinoodlehouse This ahjumma/ahjussi-approved spot in Koreatown is known for their generous portions of clam kalguksu (knife cut noodles) and traditional Korean noodle soups.

Everything is made in-house and served with lots of love, down to even their Banchan. The servers were all so friendly and sweet, providing excellent table service by explaining every dish, cutting up the food and packaging any leftovers into to-go containers.

For 3 of us we ordered: Seafood Kalguksu - Decent. We had Kalguksu earlier this year when we went to Seoul's Myeongdong Kyoja. THAT place was delicious and set really high expectations. This reminded me of how badly I want to find something like that back home, with the ground meat and dumplings. Now I'll be on a quest. Cold noodle - First time ever trying this! It was good, the noodles caught me off guard though. They were a lot chewier than I was expecting and almost choked a couple times. May try this again at other locations on a hot summer day. I don't usually eat cold soups. Kimchi Pancake - I usually get seafood pancake instead, which I'm used to being crispier, but I guess since this uses kimchi, it's not meant to be crispy. In any case, this was still delicious, and a decent sized portion. The sauce that came with it was delicious too. Not sure what was in it but I think she poured mustard in it. Boiled Ox Head slices - Solid. Since it was boiled it didn't really have flavor (probably intentional) but dipped it in salt and pepper, or the kimchi pancake sauce. Kinda pricey! And the sides! That Kimchi was delicious! read more
