Home cooking that is unmatched in the area. Great food, genuine family-owned business running the place with great service. The pork bulgogi is unreal. Love this spot!

This restaurant is located in the edge area of ​​Hancheng, and many Koreans know this restaurant! This is a Korean restaurant that only Koreans go to. It is obviously authentic Korean food. This restaurant is more famous for its chili chicken soup! Friends who are afraid of spicy food, don’t worry, it’s neither salty nor spicy, and it’s delicious when paired with purple rice. A friend also recommended a plate of cod, it’s especially delicious!

Really great home style food. We always come here and get the dak dori tang. Which is like a spicy korean chicken stew and haemul pajun (seafood pancake). The service is always great. They give you ttuk boki as a side dish. Always glad to come back.

The food here was unmatched. This is the most authentic, hearty, and delicious Korean meal in LA. The food was prepared quickly and the portions were humongous for the price. The service was overwhelmingly nice. The lady came to thank us for coming and made sure we felt comfortable. She packed our food to go meticulously and was the kindest person.

I ate the kimchi soup, but it didn't taste good. There was water in an ice box, and they scooped water up with a cup, but it was really unsanitary. She told me to eat at a small table, but the staff ate lunch at a large table. It was a little ridiculous.

Cannot say enough about the place. The food is really good. I thought I would take some pictures, but actually, I forgot. The lady at the desk is really cute. She cares for her customers. I was struggling with the long strand of noodles. She came and cut the noodles with scissors. ❤️❤️ Must visit. Prices are alright. Not too costly. Ordered fried dumplings, fish soup, ttyokboki, spicy noodles. Loved everything. Paid $56 for those 4 items. All the sides were delicious. Kimchi was my favorite. If you love spicy korean food, add this place to your list.

low-key authentic Korean restaurant. The ahjumma was so nice to us! Food is great: banchan (side dishes) - lots of variety! I liked the seaweed, fish cake, kimchi radish, and bean sprouts. Specials #13 seafood pancake $19.99 - Good. Not overloaded with green onions. The sauce that came with it could have been saltier. Specials #9 chicken stew $25.99 - spicy! Chicken was cooked well. Lots of potatoes. The small bones are annoying. #22 stone pot bibimbap $14.99 - tasty. The ahjumma brought out a bowl of gochujang filled to the top. It was good and not too sweet. #9 chewy spicy noodles $13.99 - delicious. I'd get this again. Came with a soft boiled egg. Specials #12 stir-fried squid $24.99 - I'd get this again too. The rice cake was eh, but the squid was good. Not too spicy. Prices are a bit high, but so is everywhere else right now. The menu is extensive but has some solid favorites. They have a small parking lot in this plaza, so it wasn't hard to find at 7 PM on a week night. Typical of a local Korean joint, they post menu items with prices on the walls. Even better - they have pictures of the food!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in ktown! They have the best comfort food - chicken stew (they’re known for this dish), stir-fried squid, galbi, noodles, etc… they have an extensive menu which is nice because my family and I like ordering a variety of dishes and sharing. We order take out all the time as well and the food carries well.

It was an incredibly hard decision to make between gatekeeping this spot and giving it its due credit. As a transplant from NYC, I have enjoyed many a meal in LA but frankly haven’t been blown away. Experience has taught me that what restaurants put into their “instagrammable” aesthetic, is what they take away from the quality of their food often resulting in overpriced mediocrity. Whereas the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it spots like this one offer quality AND bang for your buck. I got all this in just one bibimbap order and spent around $15. It was fresh, flavorful, and filling. My ONLY gripe is that there was not nearly enough meat in there but I’m willing to forgive. I will be back for sure, and I will be bringing everyone I know.

Came out piping hot with lots of fresh toppings and gochugang sauce on the side. The accompanying banchan was super flavorful and balanced things out nicely. The sweet lady that served us was friendly and efficient. Go eat here. You won't be disappointed.

Western Doma Noodles is a MUST! This unassuming restaurant serves some of the best and most authentic Korean food in LA. It feels like a family member is cooking for you. The owner's beef and pork bulgogi, kimchi stew, Tteokbokki, and gold noodles are the best in the city! All of her dishes feel like a warm hug. On top of that, her banchan is always incredible and diverse. Be patient with the service, as the food is worth the wait. The woman who owns the restaurant is always working, pouring her hear & soul into making sure all customers are taken care of.

Hands down best meal I had in L.A. Stumbled upon this humble eatery located in a little casual/run down strip mall, but the food does not reflect that at all. Quality handmade noodles to go in my spicy seafood soup (maybe noodles were a touch overcooked but probably just because my soup was superr hot)- and do you see the size of that bowl?? That was meant to feed two I'm sure now lol. But I finished it all with a little broth leftover (with some help from my friend). Her Spicy Beef Soup was also really delicious, with a very flavorful, deeply beefy broth, and a generous portion of beef - it has lots of ingredients in it including glass noodles, and came with a side of purple rice of course. The last thing we ordered to share was the seafood pancake, which was also really lovely. It could've been even crispier but the outside was a touch crispy with the interior being thick and fluffy. Lots of seafood in it though. On top of all this, we forgot the banchan was going to come too - which was also very abundant. There were so many dishes. All in all we were past stuffed (would have taken more leftovers but we had to leave town the next day so we wanted to finish what we could) - so we only had half the seafood pancake leftover. The ajumma serving us was so sweet and service was great. Can't wait to go back next time!

I fell upon this place on a Sunday afternoon. It's a wonderful and cozy Mom and Pop shop. The menu items are in Korean with some English translation, and though my server was limited in their English, they were very polite and thoughtful as they taught me how to enjoy the dishes. The banchans were plentiful and I was delighted to find so many cold noodle soups on the menu. The cold noodle radish soup I ordered was the perfect antidote to that hot day. I'm still thinking about my soup and when I can go back for more...

I think the food might be pretty close to the local Korean taste because when we were there, almost all customers speak Korean and they seemed to know the owner of this restaurant. We ordered the spicy chicken stew, kimchi pork stew, and the chicken noodles, they were all good and came in large quantity. I'd say for the spicy it's truly spicy and if someone can't eat spicy, then the chicken noodle is a good choice. The atmosphere was very welcoming and all the side dishes tasted good. I'd want to come here again next time I'm in the area.

Hemos estado aquí muchas veces antes, pero esta es una crítica particular sobre el servicio: Llegamos hacia el final de la fiebre de hora del almuerzo (alrededor de 2 horas). Incluso antes de la puerta, el propietario/anfitriona/waitlady nos recibió y acompañado en su interior, dándonos la bienvenida. Cada mesa en el restaurante estaba tomado, excepto una, que ella nos condujo rápidamente a. El afectuoso saludo que recibimos es completamente diferente a lo que normalmente reciben en restaurantes coreanos, donde generalmente está manejado como estrictamente de negocios. Simplemente nos encanta esta señora! Hemos venido aquí a docenas de veces, y a cada llegada, esta misma mujer está trabajando duro. Sin importar la hora del día o la época del año, ella parece que nunca tome un día y siempre es excepcional. A sentados a la mesa, rápidamente nos trajo una variedad de platos banchan. Sabemos por un hecho que ella trajo unas cuantas más opciones inusual y exótica para nosotros que otros comensales entre nosotros no recibimos. Estuvimos muy agradecidos de este gesto. Pedimos muchos platos, más de lo que podríamos haber planeado consumir, por la experiencia de probar una variedad de sabores y platos. Para agravar la situación, nuestro waitlady además trajeron una olla frita de kimchi jeongol- de la casa. Uno de estos platos que pedimos estaba fideos caseros de acorn, un plato que había en el menú, sin embargo, ella preparado de una manera muy especial y única para sólo nosotros. Obviamente que no podía comer todo lo que pedimos, y nuestro paquete ofreció waitlady todo para llevar a casa a comer más tarde, pero nos llevamos todo, ya que estamos dejando en un avión en un par de horas a la otra costa del país. Para establecer esta situación, todo lo que puedo hacer es planificar para la próxima vez y termine esta comida!

Корейская еда, сожет быть очень острой, лучше при заказе сказать если не зотите острую ( у низ по умолчанию многие блюда очень острые), вкусно, не дорого, интерьер как в столовой, можно с собой взять на вынос, хорошее место для того чтобы быстро и плотно перекусить.

No vivo en esta parte del país. Vine de Nueva Inglaterra esta tarde, el primer tema en nuestra agenda después de salir del aeropuerto internacional de Los Angeles fue a parar en este restaurante. La señora de este establecimiento nos recibieron como si fuéramos viejos amigos de muchas décadas. Y, sin embargo, nos quedamos aquí sólo dos veces en nuestra anterior visita a Los Angeles. Estábamos en serio y listo para devorar celestial, casera, tradicional, y calidad alimentos. Para comparar a la mayoría de "Corea" restaurantes, especialmente aquellas que promueven platos de barbacoa, este restaurante muestra menos extensos artículos en su menú. Pero, cualitativamente, artículos eran intrigante y educativo. Además, la mayoría de las entradas eran algo que uno no lugar en las articulaciones Mill-run. Obviamente, estamos devoto de este lugar. Comenzamos nuestras comidas con una botella fría de "coreano" lager y uno de Mockgirlie. Mockgirlie que se extrae de arroz parcialmente fermentado es una vía láctea licor, con una imagen generalmente asociados con gente trabajando de clase. Luego, vino Banchans, la numeración sobre una docena. Banchans en este restaurante fue maravilloso, limpio y bien presentado. cualitativamente, que comparado con otro bueno a muy buenos establecimientos. Incluido en sus Banchans era un plato de rábano agotando con una textura exótica y, de nuevo, sabor celestial. Pedimos una pequeña porción de albóndigas al vapor para la mesa; uno de nosotros conseguimos "Bibimbob estilo Junzoo; y otro había una Pollock y Pollock caviar estofado. Sus albóndigas estaban a la par con las casas Dumpling más publicitados de especialidades de Los Angeles. Ellos eran mucho exprimidor como proporcionalmente menos carnes pero más de verduras Herby's Lounge. Junzoo Bibimbob era muy colorido y venía con arroz púrpura-color. Cada que ofrecían era original, fabuloso y deliciosa. Nos fuimos el lugar después de pagar aproximadamente un tercio lo que nos lo pasamos en otro lugar. En resumen: comida: buena a excelente ambiente : conjunta, pero con carácter y personalidad educativo relación calidad-precio: muy alta relación calidad-precio: muy alto

We understood that this place is always mobbed based on other's reviews. We deliberately went there at 3 pm on a Tuesday. We were greeted by the owner, grandmother herself. Within 30 seconds we got mocgirl-li. We were served 14 varieties of ban-chan, that included a small dish of ttukbogi. Some of the ban-chan were rare in the usual Korean restaurants. Much later during the meal, the grandma offered us flavored and roasted nori plate perhaps because I was not a fan of spicy food. The steamed vegetable dumpling was plump and juicy with thin, delicate wrapper. It was one of best dumplings we have had. Cold buckwheat noodle soup was excellent and one of best I have had. Kimchi stew was outstanding but overwhelming in its flavor. This is homey, inexpensive, genuine Korean food and greatest value.

I'm a local and go here all the time. The food is consistently excellent. Best on menu are the noodle (guksu) dishes. The hot stone bibimbap is also outstanding, among the best I've had in LA. Service can be very slow if it's busy, but the nice lady who runs the place tries her best with limited staff. Definitely recommend this place.

People have told me that the Korean food in LA beats that in Bay Area, and if Western Doma is a reflection, I am a believer now! This is a hole in the wall restaurant, but the food is so good - we had their kalbi, seafood tofu soup and soba noodles - all of them were excellent (the cuts for the Kalbi could be better though, but that is the cow, not the cook!) The banchan was excellent, especially the kimchi and pickled turnip, and the rest...10 variety in all. Portions were large and prices were very reasonable! They even comped us a Korean dish - forgot what they called it but it is a dough cooked in spicy sauce (tasted and looked better than my description!) - very nice and my new favorite Korean dish! This place is run by a nice old lady - she could be anybody's aunt and seems like that from the way she interacts with the regulars. We were served by a hispanic server who spoke Korean - cool! I would go back to this place if I had the opportunity to do so!

If I lived in LA, this would be on my regular list of favs! We ate here in the middle of the afternoon and were the only customers, although more arrived later on. Service was great. The super sweet and polite older lady who waited on us made some suggestions since we wanted a "light" meal. Light meal in a korean restaurant with 12 kimchis and dukboki (rolled rice cakes -- super spicy) provided takes on a new meaning! We had the vegetable dumplings. Excellent choice. Very tasty and the dipping sauce was fantastic. We also had the spicy vegetables. Wow!! I could have that every day. The meal was accompanied by 12 different kimchis/side dishes and the dukboki. There was a kimchi to suit every palate. A great meal accompanied by mugicha (barley tea). For desert, try one of the exquisite macaroons or iced cookies at Twelve-Centimeter bakery located in the same little shopping center.

If you like Korean food other than bbq than this is a great spot. Everything on the menu is tasty. Only draw back is that it takes kinda long

The Chicken Noodle Soup is AMAZING, the raving reviews are completely well deserved. I also tried their Cold Noodles, which the owner/waitress did not recommend, she urged me to get something else and said that the noodles didn't taste nice, I thought that was a bit strange but got it anyway - it tasted fine. Service is often very very slow, but the owners are very nice, and food is cheap.

The bowls here are always a solid choice! You get a generous portion of food, especially the rice, which means I can stretch one meal into a few days. Super satisfying when you’re hungry. The fried ch
