I had heard that this spot had been around forever, so of course it ended up on my list of places to try. They're known for their noodle soups so I went with the clam version with an order of their steamed dumplings to share. The server brought over a couple different kimchis right away and the dumplings arrived shortly after. We made our own sauce in the small dish the dumplings was served with and it had the perfect filling to wrapper ratio. The noodles came out next and the broth had a light flavor and the noodles definitely tasted homemade with its bouncy texture. If you like a spicier broth, they have a green onion mixture to add to your soup which I loved and highly recommend. I think I ended up adding 5-6 large spoonfuls because of the amazing flavor it added to the broth. Also, the restaurant is in a plaza with a parking lot so definitely a bonus in korea town!

They have one of the best handmade Korean noodles in town. They are famous for their chicken noodle soup, but they offer a variety of different types of noodles that are all really good. One of the things that makes their noodles really tasty is their homemade green onion hot sauce!

Came here for some Korean cold noodles at a Gook Soo place. Yep, but this place was highly rated so I wanted to give it a try. I tried this place with my girlfriend, while she got the Korean cold noodles, I got the buckwheat noodles in soy milk. I never actually had it before so I figured it was worth a try. I think it's a very acquired taste, but since it was like 80 something degrees out, the temperature of the buckwheat noodles was just perfect. I would give it 7/10. The texture of the soup is not for everyone and it's pretty bland.
The Korean cold noodles were also alright... 6/10, but it's fair to say that we can come back again for Gook Soo. Kimchi was also fermented a little more than we like and it's on the fishier side.

Just a fair warning but the portion sizes are HUGE. Each dish could serve at least 2-3 people. The food is great and portions are huge but I couldn't finish it alone so definitely come here hungry and with a friend. Great value and service is pretty fast too. Also free parking!
