We take pride in our ability to discover the most unique flavors from around the world and share them with the people in California area. Join us to enjoy all soup served in boiling hot pot.
Visitation Rights: 3 or 4 times
Restroom: One restroom for men and one restroom for women. So a total of 2.
Credit Cards: They're accepted.
Location/Parking: Located next to The Station (dive bar). Tough to find parking in the shared lot during high traffic times, but there is street parking available along Baldwin Ave., on Naomi, or Duarte.
Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with modern furnishings.
Wait Time: I can see this place get busy. The times that I've gone there wasn't much of a wait. You can now reserve a table through their yelp page.
Service: For the most part, service is decent.
Side Dish Offerings: With your entree, it comes with 4 side dishes: Kimchi, leek, kimchi kakkdugi (radish), and fish cake. Their kimchi and fish cakes are very good. Usually order extra of those. Note: You can't bring the kimchi or the kimchi kakkdugi home. So load up as much as you can while you dine in.
Soup Of Choice(s): Very yummy! Can't go wrong with either:
1) Gamja-tang (pork neck bone, potatoes, cabbage, scallions, water celery, sesame leaf with spicy pork soup). Hearty, delicious, and great for the soul.
2) Galbitang (beef short ribs, glass noodle, scallions with beef broth): Hearty, delicious, and great for the soul.
Myung Ga For Thought: Cold weather means more soup for me! More incentive to come back for more soup! Yesssssirrrriiiiitos!
