The Best Soups in Los Angeles, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"Haejangguk, or literally hangover soup, is part of the name of this trio of Korean restaurants located in Gardena, La Cañada-Flintridge, and Arcadia. Myung Ga’s sparse, brightly lit interiors also help combat hangovers or slow mornings, but inside the stone bowl, an umami-riddled beef broth holds in chopped cabbage, brisket, and cubes of pig’s blood, making this soup one of the most aggressively flavored in the Korean cuisine canon. Don’t fear the blood though, they’re actually mild and taste almost like earthy, irony tofu whose minerals and nutrition will give anyone a burst of energy." - Rebecca Roland
