local and authentic. this is definitely the best korean-chinese restaurant in my books. i've been coming here since elementary school and it hits every single time. they recently renovated the exterior but the interior is still giving mom & pop shop/ cozy vibes! the service is also pretty quick and you lowkey gotta yell to get the waiters attention to order lol! the food is amazing. i always get their mongolian beef so tender and perfect during their lunch special (worth ur $$). of course the most popular/ mains i see people getting is the spicy noodle soup with seafood and the noodles with black bean. they are also my go to meals when i go here without a doubt. 10/10
Nothing fancy here but food is food. Price is decent. Service was fast. No problem eating at this place again.
This place has great black bean noodles. It's a small shop in the corner. I ordered the black bean noodles and the sweet and sour pork. It's so much food for one person. I ordered the food to go and they packed it up in a box with a side of kimchi. I really enjoyed the food here and would definitely go again. It's great for authentic Chinese Korean food.
Black bean noodleJajangmyun is so good. My mom and I devour every time we come. My brother who lives in Glendale orders from here to go every time he visits my mom. It's small business and very casual dining with few tables locals eat at this place. Lots of to go orders constantly. Price is very reasonable and they give you a lot of food. Plus servers are very attentive and quick to see if you need anything.
The Gan jjajang (stir fried jja jang) is AMAZING here. We just watched jjajang chronicles on Netflix and have been on the search for the best stir fried jjajang. We drove 40 min to get here and it was well worth it. I didn't get a picture because we devoured it before we could get a snap. Lol
This place has been my grandparent's go-to jjajangmyun (black noodle) place. I finally gave it a try. It doesn't have the nicest seatings or ambiance. Just a mom and pop store. But their food is so great. Their sweet sour fried pork is probably one of the best that I have tried. So crispy and the dipping sauce is not overly sweet. The ladies are super fast getting your food. They were really busy with a lot of take-out orders even on a weekday.
We got there during Busy Busy lunch time on Sat. We barely sat at the table at the entrance. I was not feeling comfy. The customers passed right our table at the door. No relax this time. We got the menu for special lunch. Small portion w less expensive. We ordered fried dumplings, chicken w lobster sauce, and chicken kungpao. The foods were delivered so fast even thou they had lots of Take out orders. I liked the fried dumplings, Juicy and crunchy. For the chicken kungpao, I give 3 stars, missing something. Spicy but not really flavorful. The chicken pieces are too small, I couldn't taste the chicken. We both liked chicken w lobster sauce, mild, so creamy, soft shrimps w lots of veggies. I give 4 stars. Overall, I was not relaxed due to the corner of the entrance. People and the staff bothered me. However, I want more fried Dumplings. Today's best was fried dumplings.
OMG!!!! I found the real Chinese Korean style restaurant near Cerritos. Haha...my wife searched for over an hour then finally she said, let's go to try tonight. We ordered 3 items, sweet n sour pork, shrimps w hot garlic sauce, black been noodles w drink, Soju. I bite the shrimp, Omg......melted in my mouth. Perfect balance w garlic, chilis. Even sweet n sour pork is bomb. Super crunchy and rich sauce gives more flavors. And black bean noodles, I said right away this is the best noodles I never had. I go over the reviews on Yelp if I go to the new places, 70% of reviews are correct, and I am confident the reviews w 4 stars. Tonight was big success for my wife and I. The location is less than 6 miles and we can take out any time any foods. The owner is very friendly and attentive. We had lots of leftover foods and she gave us To go boxes, no problems to take all. Pros Price, quality, service, portion: 5 stars Lunch special hour: 11 to 3 Mon to Sat I strongly recommend this hidden jem for the catering, or just lunch, dinner take out. My wife picked the great Chinese restaurant tonight and we both were so happy. What a wonderful night!!! We really enjoyed our comfort foods. Thanks for the service. We got the free dessert, sesame balls. Love it! I like they serve the free hot tea, cabbage kimchi too. I can't wait to taste the lunch menus.
Before we walked in, we knew this spot would be great. We were on a quest to find delicious jjangmyeon and stumbled upon this hole-in-the-wall, authentic Korean spot. There was a lot of seating and the interior decoration made it feel homey. We ordered the jjangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, and spicy noodle soup. As we waited, we were served kimchi and radish as an appetizer. The kimchi tasted fresh and it was one of my favorite kimchis made because it wasn't too fermented. The food came out pretty quickly and the portions were pretty large. The jjangmyeon tasted fantastic and the sweet and sour pork was the perfect pair. The spicy noodle soup was so flavorful and the noodles were a great texture. It was such a great meal, I will be back for more. The people here are so friendly and very attentive. The food was fantastic and I really enjoyed my experience. Parking can be tight since there's only a few spots for a couple of businesses. We went at night, so it wasn't too much of a problem. Highly recommend!
If you're looking for delicious authentic Korean-Chinese comfort food, this hole-in-the-wall is the spot. They used to have these everywhere in Cerritos, Artesia, and Norwalk, but they all seemed to have closed! VIP Chinese, San Dong Chinese... :( This is the only one I know around this area other than in LA. The food is great! The shrimp fried rice, jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles), crispy sweet & spicy shrimp (Kkanpoong Shrimp..sooooo good! Theeee best!!), and the unusually red spicy seafood noodle soup (Jjamppong). ALL really good!! The prices are higher than I remember but I guess it's expected with inflation. The servers/workers here are not the friendliest but I'm sure it's not intentional so don't take it too personally. As long as we get the food we ordered, we were happy. **For vegetarians/pescatarians: You could choose not to have meat in your jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) but I'm skeptical that it's totally meat-free.
