Further foodie adventures in Los Angeles' Koreatown neighborhood
One of the things I love about America is that it is comprised of this amazing melting pot of people and cultures. In this regard, Los Angeles could serve as a microcosm of the overall American experience. The map of our fair city is dotted with an array ...
re: further
The dumpling and noodles look very tasty! Usually we get cold noodles (naeng myun) with Korean BBQ, or Mandoo and jajang myun ( which is like the Chinese Mandarin Ja Jiang Mein). Your post makes me want to go for Korean for dinner! -MW
I also like the noodles with black bean sauce...
...which is what I think jajang myun is (correct me if I'm wrong). Noodles/pasta in general is delightful. Enjoy your next Korean food outing. Cheers, Daos
See you there!
I'm about to show Daos' post to Emery, and I'll bet he insists on going there immediately. Thanks for the find, Daos.
I didn't read anything ...
.... I just watched your photos Daos and the food looks really amazing, especially the kyoja. I have never seen à Korean restaurant where i live but Will keep in mind your post if i ever spot one ... . Hungry Bim
Korean food is very delicious...
...and there is a large variety of items. Some common dishes are grilled shortribs and thinly sliced ribeye, seafood stews, tofu soup, dumplings, and a multi-course halibut meal in which you choose one live fish from a tank and the restaurant serves you a...
You are making me hungry Daos and very fond memories

I gather from AndrewD that Melbourne...
...is a great foodie town because you have a wide variety of peoples who have settled there, which has resulted in a diverse culinary scene. I would love to visit one day. The closest I've gotten to trying Melbourne's restaurants is watching culinary trav...

:-) I look forward to meeting up in person one day...
...either here or in Melbourne then! Cheers, Daos
Looks good although I have never been to a Korean restaurant.
However David Chang was out in Australia recently and is set to open a Momofuku Restaurant here in Sydney so maybe i'll give it a try. Regards, Richard.
Hi Richard
We were planning to go to Momofuku on one of those nights, but spent too long up on observation deck at the Empire State Building for a night view of NY and it was getting late ,so detoured by foot to Little Korea, just 5 minutes walk away. Looking forwar...
Too long isn't long enough in my opinion on that deck.
Momofuku Sydney is supposed to open in September 2011. Regards, Richard.
Night View is spectacular Richard from the deck
Chrysler skyscraper Macys department store...
Maybe the Momofuku group...
...will open a Milk Bar too, so Aussies can get a taste of their famous crack pie. Best $44 I ever spent on a pie. LOL. They also ship their Frankenpie which is delicious because it's made up of slices of all their famous pies: crack pie, grasshopper (I l...
It all looks delicious ...
... but the Kyoga dumplings caught my eye. Thanks for another great foodie post! Andrew
Next time you're here...
...we should visit the restaurant. The garlic breath after though...YIKES. I don't know if it's just in my head, but I swear I'm still tasting a little garlic after brushing twice after I returned home yesterday and again this morning. I'm worried to spea...
Brush with a mixture of baking soda and peroxide, then . . .
. . . floss with Glyoxide™ to eliminate that meeting-buster breath, Daos! Works like a charm - trust me on this!
It is not fair Daos...
I try to lose weight before the holidays and after having seen your post, I was starving! Thanks a lot for the pictures Daos! Fx
LOL! Oh, no! Sorry!
I think you are perfect! No need to slim down. I hope you have an enjoyable holiday and please be sure to post pictures! If you holiday in Spain again I will want a picture of baby eels at the tapas bar! Those are my favorite. Cheers, Daos
I will be in Rome !
I spend all my summer holidays there ! I will not forget my fork and knife ! Fx
Then pictures at the gelataria for me, per favore! :-)
Have fun and safe travels! Cheers, Daos
I have a lot of pics, please enjoy right now !
You know, I go to Rome every year for more than 10 years so I have pictures of everything. Pictures taken at Giolitti of course ! Fx This message has been edited by foversta on 2011-06-26 14:16:55...
*Squealing with excitement*
I'm going to die! Look at all that luscious gelato! Oooh! All my favorite flavors are there including riso! Now it's I, who am jealous! Mmmm! Daos
Looks like another great meal Daos.
Maybe PuristSPro can hold a IGOTT for foodies. We can hit many great LA eateries. JerryW
I have had so many good meals these last few days, Jerry...
...that I'm wondering how many miles I'll have to walk with Reign to burn it all off! A foodie IGOTT would be awesome! Come and visit again soon! Daos
I JUST finished pigging out on fish filet w/
vegetables, and beef stew w/ turnips - two of my favorite Chinese dishes from this hole-in-wall place in Chinatown. But after viewing your post, I am hungry again. Dang ! ! ! ! Must try out your place soon.
Oooh! That sounds delicious!
I almost went for Chinese food tonight, but we ended up having burgers instead. I do love a good burger! Definitely check this restaurant out when you can, Frederick! Cheers, Daos
Love Korean!
Thank you Daos! Most people associate Korean with BBQ but there are many different variations and we love them all! In my predominantly Korean 'hood, we are blessed to be close to some pretty good Korean fare without venturing to K-town! but we may visit ...
We'll have to compare notes...
...on our favorite Korean food joints next time we see each other! I don't mind driving a bit to get really good food! Cheers, Daos
Looks like a tasty meal
Nice report Daos, the food looks really tasty. I love Korean food but a little embarrassed to admit that I mainly eat either Korean BBQ (Chosun, Hae Wun Dae, and Soowon) and Kyochon for Korean fried chicken. I really enjoy dumplings so I've got try this p...
Thanks...
...for the kind words about the post. I really, really enjoy Kyochon. I tend not to go to shopping malls, but I'll make an exception and swing by Glendale Galleria for some Kyochon. I like the chicken wings and the chicken tenders that have a puffed rice ...
Ah, Daos!
You gotta love these Korean foods! I do and miss very much. There are Korean town here in Tokyo, I heard, but I have not ventured out there yet. I miss Korean berbeque, too.... Thank you for making me feel hungry! Ken
There are so many...
...good things to eat where you are, I know you'll never go hungry. My next stop on the foodie train is a new Japanese pub I've been wanting to try. There's nothing like a cold beer and some skewered chicken gizzards! Cheers, Daos
Great post, Daos...
....I do like my kimchi and bbq...and those chewy noodles look great. I only go to a couple of Korean restaurants. One, I have no idea what it is called, but I know how to get there. The other just because it is in walking distance from home, plus they st...
An icy cold Hite...
