| - A prior luncheon engagement cancelled, I came to visit this place as I read from c---hound recommendations about this place for their Noodle and Dumplings. All I have to say to the person missing out in my bad soup Nazi interpretation is "No Soy Milk Soup Noodle for YOU!"
Looks pretty crappy from the outside, It actually looks like a rundown pub from the outside. Inside is a totally different story, it has that perfect setting that I love as they have normal seating as well as TATAMI area. Korean TV is on the LCD and there are some whimsical white boards with various notes and scribbles displayed on the side walls.
I came in for lunch being greeted by "An nyoung ha seh yo" as most of the other few tables of patrons where either a couple of mid-age Korean ladies or single elderly Korean gentleman, I'm the EXCEPTION of course.
Looking through the Menu I stuck with the first 2 pages which was the reason I came. Page 1 was Specials such as Cold Noodle, SOY MILK SOUP NOODLE, Fried Dumplings, Boiled Dumplings, etc... While Page 2 was where my meal was decided because they had a HANDMADE Noodles with Dumplings in Beef Broth($7.99).
Best of both worlds and 2 birds with 1 stones DEAL. The lady serving didn't really react much when I ASKED if I can take a photo as if she didn't understand my English, but she was friendly and didn't seem to mind. As she served 3 banchans(Kimchi, Sour Radish, Spicy Radish) and SURPRISE a small delicious! dish of tiny dumplings.
The Noodle came and it was a BIG portion but what made this meal was the Dumplings which looked so PLUMP and the skin was handmade and perfect chew to it. It was so plump and round that I was waiting for it to explode but somehow the seams never gave way.
The Handmade Noodles were just as amazing as the Dumplings, cooked to exact doneness and great consistency and texture. The broth was OKAY as well and its unfortunate that us Non-Sauga Yelpers cannot get this day in day out.
I saw other patrons got various other items as well so it's not that everyone preferred one dish over the other. There was a SERVICE BELL right on my table at the corner spot but the cashier was sitting right behind my back because that was where the cash register was.
Does someone know what this says:
