About

The signature vegan kalguksu is a table-cooked hotpot with chewy acorn noodles, mushrooms and greens; save broth for the rice porridge cooked at the end. The older couple running this casual Korean noodle shop are friendly and help explain the cooking, though reviews say service can slow down when it’s packed.
