I came for a very late lunch / early dinner by myself. One of the sushi chefs at Goyemon said his mother was the chef here and that it was the best Korean food. I've been here several years ago and didn't think much of it then, so I thought I should give it another try. I think I am being generous when I give it 3 stars... It's closer to 2.5 stars. Kimchee is important to me and their kimchee wasn't very good. It wasn't quite ripe and too much fish/ shrimp sauce. (I am Korean and know how to make kimchee... )
I ordered naeng myun in cold broth - always refreshing on a hot day. It was okay- nothing too special. In Los Angeles the restaurants that serve this make the noodles with different grains so that you can actually taste the unique flavors.
What I was disappointed about was their paltry side dishes- julienned radish, sweetened fried potato and the pancake and of course the kimchee. it was all just okay. I probably won't be coming back. It was the same a few years back.
Maybe it's different for Kalbi - but lots of places to Kalbi well, I think...
