| - Would return. Worth visiting at least once for their famous slush noodle soup.
Long waits on weekends beware!
Been here just twice - this place seems to always be rammed. For standard Korean cuisine it's good, but what stands out here is the ice cold slush noodles, and evidently, this place does it better than anywhere else. I'm still not 100% sold on slush soup, cold noodles either but on trying just the soup, I'd be open to trying it next time for sure.
The menu has a good variety of standard Koreatown Korean dishes - nothing too notable. Smaller location, fair prices, average service, authentic food, well executed.
I ordered the Pork katsu with rice - awesome portion size for $12 with perfectly cooked steamed riced rice, fresh house made slaw and two well cooked (not dry) cutlets. Cutlets were well sauced and seasoned and I was smitten start to finish with the portion size. I added the cold slush soup on the side since this is what CSO is known for - very refreshing and tasty. It's a little spicy, a little savory and very well balanced, admittedly far better than I expected as a skeptic.
I give it 4/5 for good value and execution but I can't see coming here for much beyond just the cold noodles or the twin cutlet steal of a meal.
