Master Critic Review

Hong Kong Jham Phong 7.8
Downtown LA
A low-key Korean-Chinese spot tucked on the fourth floor in the Fashion District, best known for big bowls of jjamppong and jjajangmyeon. Portions are generous, flavors are straightforward and comforting, and service is fast. This is a practical weekday lunch destination for locals who know the building.
Must-Try Dishes: Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup), Jjajangmyeon (black-bean noodles), Fried rice with sauce
