Master Critic Review

Sam Woo Jung 8.5
Koreatown
A long-running Koreatown institution best known for Seoul-style bulgogi and steady, traditional cooking. The kitchen’s strength is clarity and comfort—marinated meats, cold noodles, and banchan that taste like they’ve been dialed in over decades. It’s a straightforward dining room where the food does the work.
Must-Try Dishes: Seoul-style bulgogi, Naengmyeon (cold noodles), Soy-marinated crab
