| - This review is mainly about one particular dish I've always eaten at Imonay.
When I was a kid, I used to go to Imonay for chicken kalguksoo, which is Korean-style wheat flour noodle (kinda like Japanese udon but a thinner cut). They were the best noodles I ever had in my life, "slurp 'em down" amazing. Thick pieces of chicken, steamy flavorful broth, and noodles that you gulp down they were so good. It was my family's favourite place to eat whenever we were in Koreatown. Since then, ownership has changed a couple of times, and the kalguksoo has never been the same...
Having said that, the current ownership seems to have the dish almost right. They serve it with smaller pieces of chicken, but the broth is still tasty, and the noodles are good (although I don't slurp them down like I did when I was a kid... perhaps for the better). Whenever I miss kalguksoo, I'll go here to get an experience that is almost (but not quite) as good as the one I had as a kid.
The "Imo" (aunt) is a kind and friendly woman who serves as front of house.
