4 week agoCold noodle - The cold noodles dish soup is kimchi sauce flavor and might be vegan as I did not taste any meat flavor in it. A lot of people rave about it. It is certainly not my favorite as I tend to prefer the one with beef flavor. Ox knee soup - this one tasted really good. I know to some ‘ox knee’ does not sound appetizing but this is the part that is very gelatinous and soft.

1 month agoMiari Son Kalguksu is a noodle house located on Olympic Blvd in Koreatown, specializing in clam kalguksu. The clams are fresh and pleasantly chewy, and they’re well-cleaned — no fishy smell or sand, which is a big plus. The broth is light and clean, and you can add salt or pepper to your liking. One downside is that, despite the name “Son Kalguksu” (which implies handmade noodles), the noodles are machine-made. The texture and consistency were uneven, and they didn’t pair as harmoniously with the broth and clams as expected. When I asked the restaurant about it, they explained that due to volume, they had no choice but to switch to machine-cut noodles. Interestingly, they also serve milmyeon, a traditional cold noodle dish from Busan. The noodles were pleasantly chewy, but the broth base was made with young radish kimchi (yeolmu), giving it more of a kimchi noodle vibe. If you’re looking for an authentic Busan-style milmyeon, this might not be it — just something to keep in mind. While it might not meet expectations for fully handmade noodles or traditional milmyeon, overall the taste is satisfying and reasonably priced for a casual noodle meal. The kimchi and barley rice served as sides are delicious. Just be aware that parking can be difficult during peak meal times.

3 month agoRight across from the Galleria. They have their own parking. Too many pictures of the food on the wall. Bit overwhelming. 6:30-10:30 am they have breakfast specials. Noodle house. In one of the photos you can see there are 4 large plastic container with hot soup. Not sure if that will help if you are trying to avoid microplastics. Noodle soup is good. I have the spicy seafood soup and the bean pancake. The side dishes are tasty. They also sell kimchi.

3 month agoWe went for dinner during the week. They have a lot of parking in the structure under the shopping center where they are located. The restaurant itself is warm and inviting. It was like walking into someone's home. We started with boiled dumplings. The dumplings were so soft and pillowy. They were stuffed with meat and vegetables. They also bring you kim chi. You can get white or purple rice. They also have iced corn tea on the table for you. We got the ox knee casserole. Lots of fatty pieces of ox knee to flavor the broth. And lots of vegetables that absorbed the flavors of the broth. So hearty and comforting. The kim chi and clam soup with knife cut noodles was my favorite. The noodles were so soft and delicious. The clams were fresh and added a brininess to the soup. We also got a cabbage and short-rib soup. The large pieces of short-rib with meat still on the bone. The meat just fell off the bone. The cabbage just absorbed the broth. All the soups were so good and cannot wait to come back and try more. Service was friendly and so helpful.
