The 21 Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate in 2021, Mapped | Eater LA

"There’s nowhere I’d rather be than in front of a bowl of Korean cold noodles when the sun’s blazing and temperatures are climbing. My current favorite bowl of naengmyeon is served at Yuk Dae Jang in San Gabriel, which bests Yu Chun Chic Naeng Myun in Koreatown, in my humblest of opinions. The naengmyeon’s icy, tangy, and highly slurp-able broth cools from the inside, while its thin and chewy buckwheat noodles are light but filling somehow. Hot mustard and vinegar is served on the side for adjusting the soup’s profile, but I find it pitch-perfect as-is. —Cathy Chaplin" - Eater Staff
