California - Los Angeles Asian Restaurant -1 (켈리포니아 L A 식당 1편)

(Scroll down to read in English)
LA 에 방문 했을 때 들린 한식당, 중식당, 빵집 등 입니다. 최근 소식을 보충했습니다.
Restaurants we visited during our last visit to Los Angeles, California. They include Korean and Chinese restaurants and Bakery. Updated with the latest news.

Galleria Market (갤러리아 마켓): Devonshire St and Reseda Blvd
밸리에 사시는 분들이 간편하게 식사하기 위해 많이 들리는 것 같읍니다. 아니면 집에 가는 길에 장도 보고 사가지고 가는 손님들도 많습니다.
Love Sushi (러브스시)(폐업) - 스시, 우동 캄보가 값에 비해 맛 있습니다.
전통설렁탕 - 설렁탕집 설렁탕을 추천합니다
Zhi Shing Zaung (진흥장) - 식사 때가 아니라 간식(?)으로 간짜장 (9불50전)을 먹었는데 이것은 아니 올시다 였습니다. 차라리 짜장 라면이 더 낫겠다 싶더군요. 다시는 안 갈 것 같읍니다. 만두 추천하고 볶음밥이 양도 많고 맛 있습니다.
Seoul Hae Janggook (서울 해장국) - 저는 죽을 좋아하는 편이 아니지만 몸이 편치 않으신 분께 전복죽을 사다드렸더니 맛 있게 드셨습니다.
 Tous Les Jours (빵집) - 이름이 확실치 않은데 빵집은 하나 밖에 없습니다. 빙수는 별로인데 빵은 맛 있습니다. 근처에 사시는 분들은 토요일 아침에 이곳에서 막 구어 나온 빵을 사서는 바로 옆에 있는 맥도날드에서 일불짜리 커피를 곁들이면 최고라고 합니다.

Shik Do Rak Valley (식도락): 18434 Devonshire St, Northridge (818-832-7080)
구이 집으로 얄려져 있는 것을 모르고 육계장, 냉면을 먹었는데 이 것 떄문에 다시 갈 것 같지는 않읍니다. 실내 장식은 특별한 것은 없고 주차가 식사 때는 힘들 수도 있습니다.

Duk Su Jang (덕수장): (폐업했다는 소문 그러나 확인 못했음) 7126 Van Nuys Blvd Van Nuys (818-989-7791)
군만두 (12불 99전)는 여전히 맛있게 먹었는데 솥밥 (11불 99전)과 육계장 (11불 99전)은 맛이 변하지 않았지만 보통 정도입니다. 밑 반찬은 특히 뛰어난 것은 없지만 나쁜 것도 없읍니다.
간판이 중국어 간판인 것을 몰라 식당을 찾는데 애 먹었습니다. 도착하는 날 시간이 늦었지만  손님들이 꽤 있는 것이 이곳에 사시는 분들에게는 잘 알려진 식당인 것 같읍니다. 설렁탕과 육계장을 먹었는데 맛은 보통입니다.  실내 장식은 한국풍이지만 고기 냄새가 빠지지 않는 것이 흠입니다. 분비는 시간에는 파킹이 어려울수 있겠드군요.

Hokkaido Buffet (홋가이도 부페):15910 Ventura Blvd (Suite 101) Encino, CA 91436
LA 내려가는 길 Hwy 405 옆에 있어 배 출출하면 부페로 배채우고 LA 돌아다니기가 좋아 몆번 들렸습니다. 일본 식당 같지만 퓨전이 더 정확 할 것입니다. 미국서 일식이나 중국식 부페 다녀 보셨으면 그 짬뽕이라고 생각하시면 됩니다. 맛도 부페로 괜찮은 편이고 점심 10불에 아깝다는 생각은 안드니요. 저녁시간에는 가보지 않았지만 실내 장식도 손님들 모시고 가도 괜찮을 정도 입니다. 파킹은 빌딩 주차장에 하시면 되고요.

Nae Go Hyang Noodle House (내고향 해물 칼국수): 3516 West 8th St Los Angeles 90005 (213-382-0022)
멸치 칼국수 (7블 36전)와 녹두전 (7불 36전)을 주문했는데 칼국수는 시원한것이 맛이 그대로 이더군요.
옷 가게 주인들이 추천하는 곳이라 들려 보았습니다. 몸이 불펀하신 분과 저녁을 함께하기 위해 닭 칼국수, 녹두전, 부추만두를 사가지고 와서 먹었는데 꽤 맛있게 먹었습니다. 다음에는 식당에서 먹어 볼까합니다. 식당이 스트립 몰 구석에 위치해 찾기가 약간 어렵습니다.

Miari Noodle House (미아리 칼국수): 3224 W Olympic Blvd Los Angeles 90006
또 다른 칼국수집입니다. 멸치 칼국수가 닭 칼국수보다 시원하며 맛있었습니다. 녹두전도 먹을 만 했는데 떡볶기는 추천할만 못하네요.

You & Me Cusine (너랑나랑): 701 S Western Ave Los Angeles 90005 (213-388-1717)
분식집 생각하시고 간단하게 점심하기에 좋을 둣합니다. 만두를 먹었는데 꽤 맛이었습니다. 다른 메뉴들은 글쎄요...

The Dragon Restaurant (용궁): 966 S Vermont Ave Los Angeles 90006  (213-387-8833)
점심으로 짜장면, 짬봉, 만두를 시켜 먹었는데 들은대로 맛이 좋았습니다. 그러나 한인타운의 다른 중국집에 비해 약간 비싼편이라고 합니다. 분위기도 괜찮고 또 들릴만한 곳입니다. 파킹은 건물 뒤에 있습니다. 점심 시간에 들려 중국 접시는 주문을 안해 잘 모르겠으나 괜찮다는 평입니다.

Young King (연경): 3100 W Olympic Blvd  Los Angeles 90006
탕수욕 (11불 90전)은 여전히 제일 잘 하는 것 같은데 간짜장 (7불 90전)은 짜장 소스가 너무 묽어 전보다 못하더군요.
짜장면, 짬뽕 잘한다고 점심에 들렸는데 짜장면은 용궁보다 더 맛 있었습니다. 탕수욕도 한국서 먹던 것과 그 중 비슷했구요. 식당 장식은 그저 한국 중국집 생각하면 비슷합니다. 식사 시간 때 들리면 아마 주차가 힘들 수 있습니다.

Mr Coffee (미스터 커피): 537 S. Western Ave Los Angeles 90020 (213-387-8898)
빙수를 먹기위해 꼭 들리는 식당입니다. 과일 팥빙수를 꼭드세요. 양도 많아서 둘이서 하나 시켜 나눠 먹어도 충분합니다. 젊은 층들이 많이 모이는 곳인 것 같읍니다. 파킹 공간이 좁고 차 세울 장소가 많지가 않습니다.


덤으로 한가지 알려 드리는 것은 세일 쿠폰 찾아기지고 발 지압 받아보세요. 저도 처음 받아 보았는데 정말 시원합니다. 가격은 30불 (쿠폰으로 20불)에 팁입니다.

California - Los Angeles Korean/Asian Restaurant - 4 (켈리포니아 L A 한식당/동양음식 맛집 4편)



Restaurants we visited during our last visit to Los Angeles, California. They include Korean and Chinese restaurants and Bakery.

Galleria Market (갤러리아 마켓): Devonshire St and Reseda Blvd
It seems that the food court is a place for either quick lunch or dinner including the take-out after grocery stop for the locals.
Love Sushi (러브스시)(CLOSED) - You would find better sushi or U-dong at some other places, but sushi and U-dong combo is good for the price.
전통설렁탕 - Recommend Sul-lung-tang (soup made with basically everything in cow).
Zhi Shing Zaung (진흥장) - Since it was too early for the dinner, we ordered Gan Jja Jang ($9.50) to share and it was a big disappointment. Jja Jang ramyun might taste better and we probably skip this place in the future. Dumpling is good and Special fried rice is real tasty and large.
Seoul Hae Janggook (서울 해장극) - I am not a fan for the porridge, but we took out the abalone porridge for the sick friend. She liked it.
Tous Les Jours (빵집) - Could not remember the name of bakery, but there is only one bakery in the food court. You could find better shaved ice at some other bakeries, but the bread is good enough. If you want cheap and leisurely breakfast on Saturday morning (~10AM), buy the fresh bread at the bakery and get a coffee at $1 at the McDonald across street. Ask few friends to join. It will be a fun gathering.

Shik Do Rak Valley (식도락): 18434 Devonshire St, Northridge
Without knowing the palce was known for the BBQ, we ordered Yook-Gae-Jang (spicy beef and vegetable soup) and Naeng-Myun (cold noodle soup). They were eatable and we will not be going back for them. The interior is an average. and parking could be a problem if you visit during dinner time.

Duk Su Jang (덕수장): (Could not very if they are closed permanently)7126 Van Nuys Blvd Van Nuys
The Fried Dumpling ($12.99) is still good and Yook-Gae-Jang ($11.99) was about the same, but Bi-Bim-Bop ($11.99) could be better. The side dishes (BanChan) were nothing special, but nothing bad either.
It took us for a while to find the place since their sign is in Chinese, not in Korean. Since there were quite a few guests at late hours, the place must be well known to the local community. We have tried Sul-Lung Tang (beef soup) and Yook-Gae-Jang (spicy beef and vegetable soup) and they were average. The interior was decorated as Korean house, but the smell of BBQ and smoke was too strong. It has a small mall parking, but it could be a problem during the peak time.

Hokkaido Buffet (홋가이도 부페):15910 Ventura Blvd (Suite 101) Encino, CA 91436
Since it is near Hwy 405 on the way to LA, we stopped couple times for the lunch and stuffed ourselves before LA trip (sight seeing and shopping). The name implies it is Japanese restaurant, but it is actually fusion restaurant mixing Japanese and Chinese. Compared to other buffets, the food is reasonable and you won't feel cheated for $10 lunch. We did not try the dinner, but the ambiance is above average and it is good enough to take your guests. 2-hour free parking is available in the building parking lot.

Nae Go Hyang Noodle House (내고향 해물 칼국수): 3516 West 8th St Los Angeles 90005 (213-382-0022)
We tried Anchovy Gook Soo Noodle ($7.36) and Mung Bean Pancakes ($7.36). Anchovy kal-gook-su was flavorful and the taste was consistent.
We visited this place on the recommendation of owners of dress shops. We wanted take-out to share the dinner with a friend recovering from the accident. We ordered chicken kal-gook-su, mung bean pancake and streamed leek dumpling. They were good and we will try to eat at the restaurant next time. It might taste better without reworming the food. The restaurant might be a little difficult to find since it is at the corner of strip mall.

Miari Noodle House (미아리 칼국수): 3224 W Olympic Blvd Los Angeles 90006
Another noodle house we tried. We liked the anchovy based noodle soup better than chicken noodle soup. The pan cake was good, but you may find better Duk-BBo Gi (spiced rice cake).

You & Me Cusine (너랑나랑): 701 S Western Ave Los Angeles 90005 (213-388-1717)
If you think of this place as Korean fast food place, you won't be much off. It is a small place for quick lunch. We tried dumplings and they were quite good, but we are not sure about other menu items...

The Dragon Restaurant (용궁): 966 S Vermont Ave Los Angeles 90006 (213-387-8833)
We ordered Jja-Jang-Myun (noodle with black bean source), Jjam-Bbong (spicy noodle soup with sea food), and fried wonton for the lunch. They were as good as we heard even though they ($7.50 - $10.00) are more expensive than other Chinese restaurant in Korean town. The room was clean and the decoration is simple. The parking is available in the back of building, but it could be a problem when they are busy. We have not tried the regular dishes, but we heard they are good.

Young King (연경): 3100 W Olympic Blvd  Los Angeles 90006
We stopped for the lunch since We heard the good reviews of their Jja-Jang-Myun (noodle with black bean source) and Jjam-Bbong (spicy noodle soup with sea food). Jja-Jang-Myun was better than the Dragon Restaurant and the Sweet and Sour ($11.90) was the most close to the taste we remembered from Korea. The interior was not fancy and nothing special. The problem could be the parking during the busy hours.

Mr Coffee (미스터 커피): 537 S. Western Ave Los Angeles 90020 (213-387-8898)
This is a must place for the shaved Ice dish. Order the shaved ice (Bing-soo) with red bean and fruit and it is big enough for two. It looks like a place for young clients and parking could be a problem since parking space is limited and each slot is narrow (we guess it is to make more parking spaces). We never had coffee, but some complained about the price of coffee.

For extra, try the foot message. I did get it for the first time and it really makes you feel good. The fee was $30 ($20 with a coupon) plus tip.
