In Short – On the cons list, you'll find an impossible parking lot, long waits and brusque service. Luckily, this no-nonsense joint also has reasonable Korean barbecue prices, generous portions and a killer noodle dish that brings back diners time and time again. Served in a cold, sweetly pungent white radish base, these noodles are especially refreshing on warmer days, when regulars will down the soup with bowls raised to their lips. Even the half-size order of noodles is plenty, especially if you're grilling meat first. Guests also receive no less than 8 different side dishes to…
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- There are a few spaces reserved for the restaurant in the cramped lot; there's also metered parking scattered around the neighborhood.
- Know Before You Go:
- Arriving a couple hours before closing time will ensure painless seating and less rushed service. Also, even if you're not grilling meat on your table, don't expect to leave the restaurant without reeking of barbecue.

Tried and True Korean BBQ Spot
by bkbigfish at Citysearch
Recommend the Kalbi (short ribs) and Chadol baki (beef brisket). Of course, you have to try the signature Dong Chi Mi Gook Soo (cold noodle soup). All the flavor is in the soup..it has a refreshing, mildly tart taste to it. You're bbq is served with Pa (kind of a shredded green onion salad). You might prefer to order a serving of rice instead. The chicken is good but usually take twice the time it takes to cook the Kalbi...I usually don't the patience to wait for it. The meat and marinade is of better quality than most Korean BBQ places and the price is fairly moderate.
- Pros: Great tasting short ribs and cold noodle soup
- Cons: Can be crowded.

great value Korean BBQ
by djLA at Citysearch
I admit. you may have to wait, but it used to be longer. However, last 3 times I've visited, I did not have to wait. bad economy? still busy inside though.
I love KALBI and cow tongue. I know it sounds uh~~~, but it taste sooooooo ~~~ good. chewy and soft.
cold noodle is not to forget after BBQ. I always order 1 BBQ and 1 cold noodle with my wife to share cause the portion is biGGGGGG.
- Pros: great BBQ. huge portion
- Cons: long line

Best Cold Noodle Soup - Dong Chi Mi Gooksu
by laurahan at Citysearch
I'm Korean and I must say that this restaurant is known for its Dong Chi Mi Gooksu, which is the cold noodle stock soup. Add that w/Bulgogi and you're set! Price is AWESOME. One order of bulgogi is good for two people. Same goes for the noodle soup. Enjoy!
- Pros: Food & Price
- Cons: Ambience, parking, service

Best Korean BBQ
by multi at Citysearch
This is absolutely the only Korean BBQ place I go to. There was a time I decided to be more open minded and try the many other BBQ places nearby, let me tell you, it was a bad idea. The only place where you put good food and good price together. I have been coming here for years and years. They have raised their prices but it is still the best deal and most importantly the best taste. I like all the side dishes and they give plentiful. My favorite is the bean sprouts and the black beans. Remember to end your meal with their famous cold noodle soup. Not only does it help cool down the body after eating charred meat it is very pleasant to the palat. The noodles are chewy which I love.
- Pros: Cold noodle soup, price, BBQ
- Cons: Parking, long wait

Take it from a Korean Angelino.
by eldani at Citysearch
This place is a staple for us! Yea...there's fancier places popping up all over but they also cost more for the bbq. This has been a place my family has been going to for over 15 years. And pretty much any Korean you ever meet in LA will know this place. One thing they have that they're definitely famous for is the Dong Chi Mi Guk Soo ( noodles ). It so famous, it considered better than any in Korea. Get the BBQ followed by the noodles towards the end. Great on hot summer day. Seriously. I love this place.
- Pros: Yum.
- Cons: Not the fanciest place. Go early...there'll be a line. But soooo worth it, especially if its with a big group.
