Really enjoyed the cold buckwheat noodles (neng-myun). Nice and cold, and had some of that slushy ice action going, but could have used more. The banchan selection and quality seemed pretty good too. The free valet parking makes this a win. Service seemed pretty good. All in all, good experience.
So I was debating between this place or WooJun MyunOk. I decided to go here per my friend's recommendation. I was going with family & family friends and thought it would be better since it's BYOB. The kalbi was good, not as good as WooJun MyunOk, but pretty good. The side dishes were really good & they kept it coming without us asking for refills. We ordered some sushi/sashimi for the heck of it – not that good, but that was expected.
Don't have time to write long review. So here goes my abridged review in telegram format:
Much improved from my last meal here many years prior (stop)
Renovated bathrooms (stop)
Full-sized portions for the naengmyun and kalbi lunch special combo (stop)
Brought home most of the kalbi for dinner (stop)
The lady's daegu maeuntang (cod-fish stew) lunch special was delicious (stop)
Decent banchan spread for lunch (stop)
Would be five stars but for the kimchi (stop)
Kimchi was way too ripe (stop)
Melt-in-your-mouth ripe (stop)
Gotta-throw-that-into-the-pot-and-make-kimchi jigae ripe (stop)
Also can't forget to add a can of tuna or mackerel into the kimchi jigae (stop)
no shame if you know what I am referring (stop)
korean-american pride, mofo (stop)
what was I talking about? (stop)
oh yes, 4 stars for this place
