I don’t understand this place’s naengmyun hype. I had several tough bundles of 10 noodles stuck together that couldn’t be separated. For $16.99 물냉면 (mul naengmyun), I expect better.

I will say the 매운 등갈비찜 (spicy braised beef back rib) tasted great though (if you like sweet marinades like me). It’s pricey but big (got 2 meals out of it for 2 people). Added cheese ($4.99 for shredded cheese lol). Don’t add rice cakes because it comes with a ton of sliced rice cake on the bottom.

I wish I could give this place a better rating but the food was really bad. Everyone there was great. I didn't get to try everything but everything I did eat was not good. The pancake was burnt, the mandu had too thick of a wrapping and flavorless filling, and the soup was not that hot, fresh, or flavorful

Tl;Dr: Kid friendly and delicious food (kid approved!). This may be our new spot now - jinsol is good but we've gone too many times and it feels a bit too heavy (we always feel thirsty/bloated after eating there). The combination of naengmyeon + gukbap here helps cut the heaviness.

Waiter was sooooo nice to our toddler. He brought out flashing toys and a hand fan for him and gave us an extra white rice on the house since we said he would eat that over purple (he recommended the purple rice for us). Our son ate so much of the galbi tang with cabbage. We enjoyed it a lot too, but maybe we enjoyed it even more because he ate so well. The naengmyeon was also delicious. Overall a great experience. we will definitely be back.

I ordered Spicy Pork Hansang but did not get any side dishes. There were three side dishes showing on the menu. My friends were there early and having their other menus and they got their kimchi and radishes for Neang Myun. Later I ordered my menu, I served no side dishes. ‘Hansang’ means a full set of meal which usually includes rice, soup, main entree and a few side dishes.

There is no better way to beat this heat wave then with some cold noodles. ? ? I ended up getting the sae ki mi neang myun. I wish there was a little more beef in it, but it was still delicious and not too spicy.?️ We also tried the scallion pancake which was really tasty. ? All in all food was amazing even down to the kimchi. ?I wish the parking situation was a little better, but it wouldn’t stop me from going. ?️ ?‼️

Easily a go-to for naengmyeon, especially if you are looking for a place that has other great dishes that you can easily share (e.g., both beef rib dishes are very good). The warm soups are also good here. While I personally prefer Yu-Chun's naengmyeon (slightly), Lee Ga definitely fills a niche for me.

I enjoyed this place. Banchan was a bit limited. I had this beef in soy broth bit. I'm glad that the manager offered his honest opinion about what add ons didn't go with the dish.

Excellent Korean food! Most of the dishes are soups. I had brisket with tripe. Cooked to perfection. The dishes tend to have subtle flavor but they have great condiments. My dish was very lite without all the fat in other cuisines. Parking is an issue but there’s valet parking.

This is a mixed review because what I had was pretty good (mixed cold buckwheat noodles) and the steamed king dumplings was also okay. However the bulgogi set and beef rib soup were just average. They have a large menu so perhaps other dishes are better. Parking here is limited and you have to use the valet service which cost $3. There is street parking but it might be a challenge in the evenings.

Parking: Limited on lot and need to use valet

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the ground level

Best naengmyeon in CA.
Quick tip: if your noodle doesn't look like the picture at other restaurants, avoid at all cost.

Lee Ga is a legit Korean food spot. You can come here for both meat and soups. Their menu is pretty good. Service is great. The people are really nice. They helped me cut my cold noodles.

Parking was so annoying to find even on a weekday night. They have valet parking for $3. The streets around the area have free parking, but it's really hard to find.

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. The side dishes were ok. The kimchi radish on the day I visited was not good though. The kimchi cabbage was better.
