Coronavirus Pandemic Could Irreparably Shrink Garden Grove’s Koreatown | Eater LA

"For 24 years I've known this Korean barbecue staple in Garden Grove whose business depended on diners cooking meat at tabletop grills; during the shutdown it's essentially lost all revenue, with only overcast light coming through the windows while a worker cleans the hoods and takeout orders for chewy mulnaengmyeon and some soups and stews trickle in. Owner Dal Lee says doing to-go doesn't even cover rent or utilities, that a PPP loan of roughly $10,000 should help pay rent and keep staff, and that the current shutdown is worse than 2008 — he is also concerned that reopening at reduced capacity would signal conditions aren't fully safe for customers or workers. The restaurant remains one of the few places to find North Korean–style mul naengmyeon and serves spicy bibim naengmyeon with crunchy radish, cucumber, and Asian pear, dishes best paired with grilled galbi (marinated beef short ribs)." - Euno Lee
