Great place for late-night cravings, highly recommended! I ordered cold noodles and soju, and they kindly gave me a big bowl of mussel soup to go with the soju. The cold noodles were great. In addition to good food and great service, they also had this orange colored tent outside, which reminded me the ones I saw in K dramas.
Decided to order the crab ramen thinking it would have pieces of crab in the noodles. I was very surprised to find an entire crab with crab meat. Noodles were perfectly cooked. I've had better broth elsewhere for similar prices. This is a great place to pick up food in a pinch when out for lunch but I don't think I'd order this again over regular ramen or udon noodles.
The food was really good and the worker ahjumma was really nice as well! I ordered the kimchi fried rice because I was craving a fried rice that someone else made xD and so I was astonished when I took the first bite because it tasted exactly like how my mom makes it! It's not full of butter here and no overload of gochujang too. As for the jjajangmyeon, the noodles were a little hard for me personally but it was still good! It's in the food court of south coast plaza so seating is limited and is very busy in there.
Bestie and I walked around the area to find something quick to snack on and decided to give this place a try. We ordered the Rose Dukpokki, which had some fish cake in it- very tasty. The rice cake had a nice chew to it and pairs really nicely with the sides they gave. Nothing special about the egg n spam kimbap, it really is what it is, but still tasty too. I would definitely come here again to try different food items, ive heard theyre very known for their korean food- especially from their location in buena park
Our order was simple and we thoroughly enjoyed it. You walk up to the register to place your order and then find a seat at the counter which surrounds the restaurant/kitchen. Customer service was great. Looking forward to going back to try other items. Bimbimbab with beef: excellent, nice size portion Jjajang myeon: delicious, tasted just like my mom's Sausage and rice cake skewer: tasty You also get complimentary soup & banchan (kim chee, cream corn, pickled turnip) This is located on the lower level in Bloomindales in the South Coast Plaza. It's a mini food hall with a variety of asian offerings.
1. The wings were delicious and fried well! The drink was also refreshing! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes as it just located in a food hall inside Bloomingdale's! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! The wings took about 15-20 mins! 4. Parking is plenty! Note: There are only counter seatings! Photo: Korean Chicken Wings - Soy and Mango Ade
