Talk about spicy & delicious. The spicy seafood Kalguksu is rich in flavors! Top of the meal with bossam. Everyone talks about Korean bbq, wait till they discover this spot.
Popular noodle soup and bossam spot in KTown. Came here with a friend on a Friday evening around 7:30pm and there was a long line, but we ended up only waiting for 20 minutes. You order at the door before getting a seat. Credit cards accepted. There’s two single occupant restrooms in the back by the drinks machine. Indoor dining only (no outdoor options). Valet parking or you can try your luck with street parking.We got a medium bossam and a small kalgasuku (spicy seafood). The seafood included were shrimp, mussels, and clams. The noodle texture was perfect. The bossam was really tender and comes warm, with a side of garlic, jalapeños, radish, and cabbage. They give you two sauces to dip the meat in, but it’s flavorful enough on its own. The waiters were busy but still nice. They give you a small serving of rice as well as banchan. They do have alcohol. It seems more suited for a small group given the restaurant size, but there was one large group there.Overall, this was a busy spot with a focus on noodle soups and bossam.

bossam and kalguksoo and you will have the best time of your life! plus a few bottles of banana makgeolli
It was so excited to try chicken noodle soup. I’m actually really like the appetizer more than the noodle. The small side dishes of rice is so flavor and good. About the chicken noodle soup, the broth was very rich and creamy. The food is very authentic and flavorful!
Amazing food! Though the food tends to run pricey, the portions fit the pricing quite well, so be prepared to take home leftovers. The inside of the restaurant has a nice, warm, vibrant atmosphere. The staff was just attentive enough but not overwhelming. We got seated immediately considering we got here around 5pm and the server took our order exactly when we decided, so no time was wasted.Their noodles are supposedly made to order, and they definitely tasted as such! They were really chewy and tasted super fresh. The soup came out really hot. I ordered the spicy seafood kalguksu and the spiciness wasn’t super strong as Korean food can be, but was just strong enough to complement the seafood, noodles, and veggies that came with it. Overall, some of the most satisfying Korean food I’ve ever had at a restaurant in the US and definitely would recommend.
The portion is huge. Be mindful.I can handle spicy pretty well, I ordered mold spicy and was enjoyable. Probably medium will be ok. But spicy spicy can me sweaty. Good luck!Plenty of seafood in the bowl. The flavor is good. Now I've very good jjampong at another Korean restaurant in SF bay area. And the flavor was better. But I've never found another place that can make it like they do. So Hangari definitely a winner
Omg this place was delicious! The pork platter was one of the best things I’ve had on my L.A trip. The chicken noodles soup’s broth was so flavorful and I’ve never had anything like this before. They don’t cheap out on the quantity of food either. Super recommend this place!!!
We came here many times and never disappointed. Came here before 7 pm on Friday night. Not too much wait. Valet parking $3. Side dishes are refillable. Food are delicious.
