Ordered the tangsuyuk, jjamppong, and jjajjangmyun. Tangauyuk is hot, fresh and crispy. They are fried in most likely rice flour so theres an extra crunch. The sauce was good too, but I ate the tangsuyuk even without it. Jjajjangmyun is really tasty. Not too sweet and not too salty. Just right amount of balance and honestly think that this is the best place to get good black bean noodles in ktown. 1 star removed for Jjamppong though. The taste was good but it wasnt as peppery or clean of a flavor profile. But the jjajjangmyun was so good that the jjamppong seemed a little ordinary compared to it. All in all solid place for Korean Chinese food and definitely a hidden gem...sort of reluctant to write the review but I dont want to gatekeep a ktown solid.

The noodles 🍜 are always hot and good, but the menu is too little. They need to have other items. We missed the fried dumplings. It was great. They don't have it anymore and the waiter, he doesn't speak a lot of english and it's not very attentive, not much smile on his face and you don't feel the warm welcome. Other than that. It's okay.

You should come here if you enjoy cham pong(짬뽕) -spicy seafood noodle-(5/5).. its not super spicy but has a really nice smoky flavor to it. black noodle(짜장면) is average. The taste is not bad, it's just very simple style flavor (3/5) Shrimp fried rice is good, it comes w cham pong n black noodle soup.(4/5). The owner is really friendly n the store is clean. Parking can be a challenge depending on the hour, so be prepared to look for street parking.

We ordered the jajjangmyeon and tangsuyuk when we came in. The tangsuyuk was good but we noticed the pork in the jajjangmyeon had a funky and sour taste to it so we called the waiter over. He went back to the kitchen to taste the pork and came out to tell us there was nothing wrong with it even though we insisted it tasted off in our dish. He stated again that nothing is wrong with it and walked away. This made us very uncomfortable as we did not want to keep eating the food and potentially get food poisoning. We had to call him over a second time and ask him to take the dish back and remove it from our bill. The least he could have done initially, was to apologize, take our bowl back, and offer to make us a fresh one. We have been here 3 times before and had no issues. Due to the poor service and lack of courtesy we experienced, they have lost our business. We will not be returning again.

This seafood jjambbong restaurant specializes in large portions and generous portions. The broth is delicious, and the texture of the freshly made noodles is simply exquisite. I tried the jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk, and both were delicious. I highly recommend it. However, parking can be a bit tricky during lunch hours. Street parking is metered and has a one-hour limit. After your meal, you can enjoy a cup of coffee at the adjacent coffee shop. Ordering is convenient, as the kiosk is available. Keep in mind that it can take a while for your food to arrive.
The most enjoyable Korean food I've had in a while. After living in Seoul for 2 months, sometimes I forget how lucky we are that ktown exists and this place does too.
Seafood Jjam Ppong: GETTTT This was the star of the show and omg the perfectly spicy and bright flavors will make your day and make you do the happy dance with every bite.
Jajangmyeon (black bean noodles): GET! This was flavorered so well and the perfect amount of savory and creaminess. This is probably my favorite Korean dish and this place does it justice.
Sweet and sour pork: Get I've had a lot of places recently and this place does it well. A good balance of sweet and sour where one doesn't overpower the other. It could use a touch more flavor though
Ofc like any other LA spot, parking can be touch but there's a small lot in front
