“ Black bean noodles are so delicious! They packed them perfectly for the car ride home. Extra plus was they came with directions on how to prepare them should they get cold- I had several stops before I got them home so this extra plug was highly appreciated! I tossed some broccolini and shrimp in them- I Probably could've ordered them like that but I didn't think about it till I got home. ”
“ I wanna say the best chinese korean restaurant in south bay, the server lady is very fast and kind. their food is always good. ”
“ This is a great hole-in-the-wall spot with authentic food, not too busy, and decent parking. We ordered the black bean noodles, spicy seafood noodle soup, and fried pork. The noodles in both dishes had a great texture, just the right elasticity, and a good mouthful. The black bean noodles weren't too salty, with a meaty, savory sauce that had nice umami. The spicy seafood noodle soup was flavorful with a good kick of spice. Some seafood bits were a little chewy, but the broth was solid. The fried pork was lightly fried, sweet, and paired well with the sauce. The sides (pickled daikon and onion) were fine and worked with the meal. Service was good, nothing to complain about. You pay at the counter. Value-wise, we'd give it a 4/5. Portions were big, but it was a bit much for two people, and we couldn't finish everything. Total was around $50, tax and tip included. ”
“ TL/DR: good Chinese style Korean food. Would try again. My first time at a Chinese-Korean restaurant. It was a great experience, trying to find other countries version of Chinese food. My Korean friend took me here. The noodles were good. And the spicy seafood style soup was great. The sweet and sour pork thing didn't really vibe with me, but the dumplings were great. I would go back to try some other dishes, it's interesting to see your own food with different interpretations. ”
“ Food was very clean and exactly what I wanted. One of us got the jjajangmyun, and I got the jjampong/ tangsuyuk combo and it was great portions for the price. I think the owner was the one taking orders but she was friendly and super nice. Chill ambiance, service was fast, waiter doesn't bother you, smallish space so very chill vibe. ”
“ A go-to family owned location with traditional Korean food. It does feel like a hole in the wall type place. The jjangmyun is a must paired with the crispy pork is my go-to. We also go to orders here a lot, and they are very calculating when packing the food. They separate the noodles out and add instructions to the lids so the food is still like the restaurant when you eat it :) The service is always kind and attentive. My husband is korean, so they always talk a bit and have good conversations. I'll definitely be adding pics later as I always forget to take any because I'm hungry and I know this food is delicious haha ”
“ Ordered jjajangmeoyn and jjangbbong. The jjajangmeoyn was good. Noodles had great consistency. The sauce was slightly too watery in my opinion. Pork was minimal. The jjangbbong was solid. Soup was very tasty. Also ordered deep fried pork mandoo, (dumplings). It was 3/5. Cozy dining area, not too many tables. Service was good. Parking is also available underground. Lots of stores in this little strip mall. ”
