(Since we stayed near K-town on this visit, we were able to try the restaurants which we could not try during the previous visits.)
Poke Hana (포케하나) @Galleria Market (갤러리아 마켓): Devonshire St and Reseda Blvd, Northridge
작년에 엘에이에 놀러 갔을 때 이 집에 들렸는데 맛있게 먹은 기억이 있어 다시 들렸습니다. 근처에 약속이 있어 간단히 점심을 해결해야 했기도 했구요. 포케덮밥 주문은 표시판에 있드시 순서대로 원하는 것을 더하면 됩니다. 지정하신 모든 재료를 그릇에 담아 줍니다만 저희들 생각엔 그릇이 좀 더 컸으면 하네요. 비벼 먹기가 좀 힘들어요. 그로나 맛도 괜찮고 가격도 (큰 그릇: 14불) 그만하면 아주 좋은 편이고요. 추천..
We tried this place at the food court last year and we were impressed. We decided to try it again since we needed a quick bite before our appointment. As you can see on the display, you pick the ingredients for reach step and the food is served in the bowl. We would like the bowl a little larger such that it is easier to mix the bowl. However, the food is still good and the price (large:$14) is right.
Sun Nong Dan (선농단): 927 E Las Tunas Dr San Gabriel, CA 91776
본점은 k-town 6가에 있고 또 다른 지점이 Rowland Heights 에 있습니다.
The original restaurant is in W 6th st in K-town and they have another branch place in Rowland Heights.
친지가 선농단을 추전해서 가기로 했는데 본점은 기다리는 시간이 길다하여 샌 가블리엘에 있는 지점을 가기로 했습니다.
Friends recommended Sun Nong Don and we decided to try the one in San Gabriel since there is long wait for the table at the original restaurant in K-town.
저희가 양이 많은 편이 아니라서 갈비찜 큰것 하나를 (74불 99전+세금) 시켰는데 저희들에겐 충분했습니다. 갈비찜은 맛있었는데 저희들 기대가 커서였는지 기대 했던 것만큼은 못하더군요. 가능하면 갈비찜은 뜨거울 때 드세요. 식으니깐 좀 느끼하던군요. 어떤 고객들은 갈비찜에 치즈를 (4불 추가) 얹어 먹는데 저희들 생각으론 식으면서 더 느끼 해질 것 같은데 치즈를 얹어 먹는 사람들은 더 맛있고 매운 맛이 덜하다고하네요. 궁금하시면 한번 해보세요.
We ordered the large size of Galbi Jjim ($74.99+tax) for three of us (we are not big eaters) and it was plenty for us. We ordered the source as medium and it was about right for us.The food was good, but not as good as expected (maybe our expectation was too high). It tasted better when the food was hot. It was kind of greasy taste when the food was cold. Other people order the Galbi Jjim with cheese (addition $4), but we weren't quite sure. We thought it may be more greasy when the food get cold, but other people claim it is better and make it less hot(spicy). We recommend to try it if you are curious.
아래 사진에 있는 갈비를 찍어 먹는 소스는 양파와 매운 고추를 넣어 만들었는데 찍어 먹는 것이 훨씬 맛있어요. 쩍어 먹는 것과 그냥 먹는 것을 직접헤보세요. 그래여 차이점을 알테니요. 반찬은 여러개를 주지 않지만 나온 반찬들은 맛있어요. T
he dipping source in the picture below made with onion and hot pepper for Galbi was really good. I recommend to try with and without the dipping source. You will know the difference. We liked with the source. They do not serve a lot of side dishes, but the dishes they served were good.
갈비찜 이외에 여러 탕 종류들이 있어요. 설렁탕 (13불)에서 원기탕 (갈비, 도가니, 꼬리) (18불)까지 있습니다.
They also have the soup based dishes in the price range from $13 for Sulung Tang to $18 forWonGi Tang (with beef short rib, ox knee and ox tail).
Heung Rae Gak (홍래각): 357 S Western Ave, LA
짜장면이 맛있다고해서 점심 시간에 들렸습니다. 짬짜 하나, 깐풍새우 점심 그리고 야끼만두를 주문했습니다. 짜장면은 연경이 월씬 잘해요. 매운 새우는 맵다기보다 더 달짝지근해고 야끼만두도 별로..
We decide to visit this place for the lunch, since it has the good review for their JJajang-myeon (noodle with black bean source). We ordered the combo of JJajang-myeon and JJam BBong (spicy seafood soup), Spicy Fried shrimp and the pot sticker. JJajang-myeon at Young King is a lot better. The spicy fried shrimp was served with JJam BBong soup. The soup was nice touch, but the food was bland except sweet than hot. Pot sticker was not any better.
Mr Coffee (미스터 커피): 537 S. Western Ave Los Angeles 90020 (213-387-8898)
빙수를 먹기위해 꼭 들리는 식당입니다. 과일 팥빙수를 (2인분 이상만 파네요) 꼭드세요. 2인분에 13블 75전. 저희는 둘이서 2인분이면 충만. 젊은 층들이 많이 모이는 곳인 것 같읍니다. 파킹 공간이 좁고 차 세울 장소가 많지가 않습니다. 저희는 이곳에서 커피를 주문한 적이 없지만 커피 가격에 좀 불만이 있는 모양입니다. 추천..
This is a must place for the shaved Ice dish for us. You must try the shaved ice (Bing-soo) with red bean and fruit. They only serve the fruit bing soo for 2 ($13.75) or larger. Bing soo for 2 is more than enough for us. 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.
Madang Gook Soo (마당국수): 869 S Western Ave, LA
엘에이에서 4번째 먹어 보는 칼국수 집입니다. 멸치 칼국수와 마당 만두국을 주문했는데 멸치 칼국수는 소문만큼 양도 많고 맛있게 먹었습니다. 직접만든다는 국수는 쫄깃쫄깃한게 최고입니다. 직접만든다는 만두도 맛있는데 만두국에 만두가 4개 밖에 없는 것이. ㅠㅠ
This is the forth noodle house we tried in LA. Anchovy Noodle Soup did not disappoint us as it had very good reviews. The home made noodle is chewy and it is best we had in LA. Dumpling Soup was also very good, but only 4 home made dumplings ㅠ ㅠ.
반찬으로나오는 백김치가 시원하고 맛있는 것이 칼국수와 먹기에는 아주 최고.
White kimchi served as one of side dishes was the best combo to eat with noodle soup dishes.
Kobawoo Restaurant (고바우 식당): 698 S Vermont Ave, LA
아주 오래간만에 보쌈을 먹으러 고바우에 들렸습니다. 아직 왕보쌈( 46불99) 맛은 변하지 않었더군요. 기억하고 있던 맛 이었습니다. 왕보쌈은 홍어찜과 족편채가 추가되는데 제생각엔 보쌈 큰 것(39불99) 시키는 것이 더 낳을 듯합니다. 홍어찜은 별로. 청국장(13불99)도 보통 이상이었으나 평이 높은 감자전(7불99)은 별로 였습니다. 차라리 김치전(7불99)이 저희들에겐 더 맛있었습니다. 추천..
It has been long time since we last time tried the Bossam (boiled pork with salty sauce). The taste Wang Bossam ($46.99) has not changed and still good. Wang Bossam includes steamed skate and glazed pork feet. We recommend to order large size of regular Bossam ($39.99) instead of Wang Bossam since steamed skate wasn't good. Cheongguk-jang (fermented bean paste soup)($13.99) was average, but the potato pan cake ($7.99) which has high marks wasn't as good as we expected. We rather liked the kimchi pan cakes ($7.99).
상점 수에 비해 작은 주차장 때문에 주차원이 있긴하지만 주차가 힘들 수 있습니다.
The parking lot is small considering the number of stores in the mall and it may be the cause for the problem even though they do have the valet.
Alchemist Coffee Project: 698 S Vermont Ave, LA
고기를 배부르게 먹은 후 옆에 있는 커피 식당은 반가운 소식 이었습니다. 아이스크림 말차 라테 (6불)와 꿀 라테 (5불 95)는 향이 좋은 것이 좋았습니다.
The coffee house next to Kobawoo was welcome after the heavy meal. We tired Iced Matcha Latte ($6) Honey Latte with Soy milk ($5.95) and they were very good.
Oakobing (오코빙): 3300 W 6th St, LA
평이 너무 좋아 들리고 싶었던 곳인데 마침내 기회가 왔습니다. 검정깨 빙수(8불75)를 정말 맛있게 먹었습니다. 연유를 같이 주는데 저는 얹어 먹는 것도 좋았는데 친구는 아니다 였습니다. 추천..
Finally we had a chance to try this place which has very good review. We got Black Sesame Ice Flakes ($8.75) which comes with a condensed milk. The bingsoo was excellent. I liked it with the milk, but my friend was not.
Soot Bull Jeep (숯불집): 3136 W 8th St., LA
고기집으로 소문이 자자하기에 들렸습니다. 저녁때이었지만 아직 손님이 많지 않아 바로 자리가 났습니다. 양이 많지 않은 저희들이라 갈비 2인분(77불98)에 동치미 국수 큰 것(7불99)을 시켰는데 양은 충분했습니다. 종업원들이 옆에서 직접 구워주는 고기는 연한 것이 무척 맛있었습니다. 추천..
We decided to try Soot Bull Jeep since it had really good reviews for short ribs. We were there around the dinner time, but we were able to get the table without wait. We ordered two orders of Short Ribs ($77.98) and Somen in Kimchi Broth ($7.99 - large). It was enough food for us since we are not big eaters. The meat which servers bbqs on the table was very tender and very good. Recommend..

| 2인분 갈비/2 orders of Short ribs |
The side dishes they serve were also very tasty and they provide the refills. Somen in Kimchi Broth was the perfect combination with short ribs.
고기 굽는 연기가 대단하니 옷에 냄새가 배기를 원하지 않으면 편한 옷을 입으세요. 가시기 전에 질이냐 양이냐를 결정하세요. 이 고기 값이면 무한정 고기집이나 양 많은 고기 집을 갈 수 있으니깐요.
If you don't want the bbq smell on your cloth, please wear the casual cloth. The room was filled the smoke. Another decision to make before you go is for the quality or quantity.. For the same price, you may choose the AYCE or other bbq house with more meats.
New York Bakery(뉴욕제과): 3120 W 8th St., LA
주문한 빵들 이름들이 기억이 않나는데 밤빵이라 부르는것들이 맛 있었습니다. 종업원 아줌마는 굉장히 친절했고 설명을 잘해 주셨습니다.
We couldn't remember the names of pasties we ordered, but they were good, especially with white fillings. The employee at the counter was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Kang Hodong (강호동): 3465 W 6th St., LA
점심 먹고 곧 비행장으로 가느라 사진 찍는 것도 잊어벼렸네요. ㅠㅠ 4명이 소고기 콤보 작은 것 (66불 99) 하나하고 군만두 작은 것 (6불 99)하나 시켰어요. 점심으론 양은 충분한 것같네요. 근데 고기가 좀 질기더군요. 밑반찬도 다른 집에 비해 좀 떨어지는 편이구요.
We forgot to take pictures since we needed to go to the airport after the lunch.ㅠ ㅠ We ordered Beef combo small ($66.99) and half order of Fried Dumplings ($6.99) for four of us. The food was enough for us as lunch, but some of the meats were tough. The side dishes were not as good as other bbq places.
Shiki Seafood Buffet: 5535 Rosemead BL, Temple City, CA 91780
새로 연 곳이라고해서 찾아가봤는데 굉장히 큰 식당이더군요. 음식도 종류가 생선, 스시, 게, 임섬 둥 여러가지네요. 생선 부페집에서 하긴 이상하지만 고기도 구워주구요. 근데 질이 좀 문제이더군요. 어떤 거들은 재료가 싱싱한데 어떤 것들은 한물 갔어요. 근처에 있으면 들려도 멀리 찾아갈 정도는 안되는것 같습니다. 손님은 어떻게 많은지 사진 쩍을 틈도 없었어요. 일요일이라서 그랬나...
This place is very big with variety of food choices, fish, crab, sushi, dim sum, etc. It is kind of strange at seafood buffet, but you could have grilled beef. The quality of food was hit and miss. Some of the food are good enough, but others weren't fresh and below average. This is the place you may want to try if you happened to be in the neighborhood. We couldn't even take pictures since the place was so crowded. Maybe it was because of Sunday dinner time...
방문 중인 지역에 한식집이라곤 이 식당 밖에 없는데 평이 좋아 점심을 먹으러 갔습니다. 갈비탕(13불 99), 오징어 볶음(14불 99)과 군만두(10불 99)를 주문했는데 아무리 점수를 후하게 준다해도 이 음식 맛에 어떻게 그런 높은 평을 받았는지 이해가 안가는 식당 중의 하나 였습니다. 갈비탕은 간이 제대로 돼지 않아 저희들이 파 양념들을 달라하여 간을 봡습니다., 대부분이 채소인 오징어 볶음과 군만두는 그나마 먹을만 하더군요.
We were in Glendale area and found this place with good review. And it was the only Korean restaurant in the neighbor hood. We decided to try Galbi Tang (beef soup)($13.99), Spicy Calamari ($14.99) and Fried Dumplings($10.99). Even considering there is no other Korean restaurant in the area, we are not sure how they received so good review. Galbi soup was so blend and we have to ask for the seasonings including green onions. Spicy Calmari was mostly vegetables but it was at least eatable. Fried Dumplings wasn't any better.
Capital Seafood Restaurant (금도 식당): 770 Spectrum Center Dr, Irvine, CA 91788
친구가 해산믈 음식을 잘하는집이라하여 들렸는데요. 생강과 샐롯 소스 바닷가재와 식당 특별소스 게 음식은 정말 실망이었습니다. 가격도 아주 만만치않고요. 매운 고추와 볶은 안심 고기 큐브(21불 88) 은 너무 매운 뒷맛이 음식을 망쳤습니다. 식당은 깨끗했고 실내 장식도 잘 되어 있습니다.
Our friends took us for their seafood. We ordered Lobster in Ginger & Scallion source and Alaskan King Crab in House special source. Both dishes were disappointments and the prices were too high. The meat in the Chilli Pepper with Filet Mignon Cubes ($21.88) was tender, but the spicy hot after taste ruined the dish. The restaurant was clean and well decorated.
