Reviews
I’m kind of a kalguksu nut and try it in different places to find places I like and have been searching for something comparable to Hangari in OC without the drive. *I’ve been to Myeongdong Kalguksu in Korea and the US, the other Hangari in GG, and a place featured on Netflix at Gwangjang Market in Seoul.
Anyway, I had noticed the coming soon sign a few weeks ago as I was driving and have been periodically looking online awaiting their opening. I was excited to see the reviews start to roll in and even more excited to see they were overwhelmingly positive.
We stopped by today for lunch and it was busy, but not packed. We were welcomed and quickly seated at a table toward the back. We ordered the anchovy kalguksu and barley bibimbap.
The banchan was fresh and delicious and included the barley, soybean sauce, and yul-mu (열무) starter that I love. (They didn’t serve yul-mu kimchi and I don’t know if they offer it, but it was a favorite from the other restaurant. hint hint .)
They brought two steamed dumplings as a welcome appetizer that were pretty standard for classic meat and veggie mandu. (not sure if this will be a standard or if it’s promotional during these opening weeks).
On to the main entrees. The Kalguksu was really good! I really liked the chewy texture of the hand-cut noodles. They are thinner and flatter than udon. (Like Marugame they have a prep station at the front of the restaurant where you can see the cooks cutting the folded dough sheets). The broth was savory and well-seasoned and they offered a spicy seasoned sauce to add if you wanted.
The yulmu bibimbap was also really good. Fresh veggies and barley, mixed together for a light but satisfying meal.
The decor is simple and clean and the service was friendly and attentive. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other dishes! My problem though is that when I find a dish I like, I rarely order anything else!
Thankful they’re here and wishing them lots of success. My fear is that this place will become so popular there will be long waits, but the joy of sharing a great spot outweighs that fear. Enjoy!
*Parking availability might become an issue, but for now, the strip mall had a decent amount of spaces.
