Western Doma Noodles

i only come here for their chicken noodle soup (dak kalguksu). it comes with a few banchan, of course. it’s perfect especially when you’re feeling wilted, sick, sad and/or cold. so comforting and hot!! the auntie at the register is super sweet and organized. their parking attendant is pretty nice too. there is a designated parking spot for to-go orders. i always do to-go.

insane portions and genuine hospitality. especially tasty even when compared to nyc and especially cozy

Old school korean flavors.

If you have a korean friend and didn't know this spot, they were gatekeeping you.

Love everything here.

First time trying cold soybean noodles and it was amazing! It had a hint of sesame noodle taste and the texture looks like almost an Alfredo sauce.

Sprinkle some salt or sugar onto the noodles for an authentic experience according to the workers. They were very helpful.

But it was very good and I have no comments. I can’t compare this to other soybean noodles but it was good. The hot fish soup was also good as well and the place seems quite authentic. The kimchi they gave us was also amazing.

This place is about 40 years old, I'm told by this serving lady qho's been here 27 years. Same owner, same server, same location.
Old wooden log table tells the age.
My mother and I had seafood kalguksoo, dak doritang, and bibimbop.
The food taste of old, unpretentious, clean, flavor with a lot of depth.
Bibimbop namul was good with perfect egg.
Banchans were simple & clean.
This place is a must revisit place. I only regret I didnt know of this place until now.

The best Korean food restaurant in LA. It is not easy to find this level of taste even in Korea. The owner's kindness is also excellent. You can feel the warmth and Korean flavor. I recommend seafood and green onion pancake, kimchi & pork stew, noodle soup & stir fried pork belly with ref cilli paste. A gem of a restaurant near downtown.

Ngl I've been eating Korean food(traditional-fusion) for years and this one place is the BEST Korean spot for overall balanced(flavor, quality, consistency). The food and owner are legit here.

I don't get how this place is rated 4.5 stars at the time of this review. We went for lunch one day and there were only two tables, us included, and the side dishes took 20 mins to come out (even though they're fully prepped beforehand) and the actual food took 30-40 mins to come out. I don't think jjolmyeon / chewy spicy noodles (쫄면) should take more than 10 mins to prep. For the dak do ri tang / spicy chicken stew (닭도리탕), the potatoes were almost undercooked and the sauce tasted entirely of black pepper and nothing else. For the chul pan bulgogi (철판불고기), it just tasted as if I threw meat onto a skillet at home with no seasoning whatsoever. Even the onions didn't add anything to the dish. Everything was mostly flavorless and there were flies circling the tables nonstop, giving the vibe that the restaurant isn't clean at all. Don't be fooled by the people who are nostalgic for this place. A colleague of mine ate here years ago and agreed it was good back then. Now? Not so much. You're better off going to a different place in ktown.
