I guess they DIDN’T CLEAN THE WOK AT ALL .There were so many black, burnt chunks that it was inedible. I can't believe there are Chinese restaurants like this these days..I won’t go there never again !

Their jajangmyun and jampong is better than the ones in Korea. They make their own noodles and cook the food on order. The extra spicy Jjampong is proper spicy with a lot of veggies and seafood.

I was craving jjajangmyun so came here and glad we did! They have bunch of combos so we got the jjajangmyun & sweet and sour pork with a side of fried dumplings. The portions were generous and so yummy! The Auntie working there was so friendly and even gave water for my pup. Small hole is the wall but what a gem!

Jajanmyun is really good, tons of smoky onions. But the serving size is smaller than what I'm use to getting from these types of shops.

Tangsuyuk is cooked well and not overly dry. Sauce is good too, but doesn't have alot of wood ear mushrooms in it.

Overall really good place, I order from here often.

Does not cook ganjajang in traditional way.
The onion was overcooked which implies the sauce was made in advance rather than cooked-to-order.

A super down-to-earth spot bursting with local flavor—even past peak hours, it’s still packed. From the outside, it might just look like an old neighborhood diner, but don’t be fooled—this place is seriously underrated. They call themselves Korean-style Chinese food, but honestly, it leans very Korean. Their signature is jajangmyeon, but that’ll have to wait till next time because I was craving seafood noodle soup that day. For what you get, the value here is amazing… especially compared to my area, where a bowl of ramen can run close to $20 and barely fill you up!

Beef Belly & Spicy Seafood Noodle
Loaded with bold flavor and real ingredients—seafood and beef stacked so high you can barely see the noodles. The hand-pulled noodles are extra chewy and bouncy, and the spicy broth clings beautifully to every bite.

Non-Spicy Seafood Noodle
Perfect if you’re not into spicy food. The broth is milky and slightly creamy, almost like a white soup base, topped with bonito flakes—such an unexpected touch. The bowl is packed with seafood and vegetables, super fresh. Highly recommended.

Fried Pork with Sweet & Sour Sauce
Another crowd favorite. Think crispy pork bites with the sweet and sour sauce on the side so you can dip as you like. Tastes great on its own, but also surprisingly good added into the noodle soup.

Deep Fried Meat Dumpling
Korean dumplings are no joke—huge, crispy outside, juicy meat filling inside, and yes, they burst with flavor. Not greasy at all, and the house dipping sauce ties everything together.

After eating only Panda Express and brunch for 4 days in San Fran, I missed Korean food, so I went there as soon as I came to LA. The owner is very kind. He cuts the noodles himself and stir-fries the black bean paste at different times. It was very delicious. We ordered a double serving, and the portion size is really huge hahaha. I am a 180cm and 100kg strong adult male. If you come to this area, be sure to try it. Thanks to you, I think I will be able to finish the rest of my trip well. I hope you prosper, boss.
