If I have to choose one place for naengmyeon in Los Angeles, I will pick Chilbo Myunok without any hesitation. As the restaurant name claims, naeng myun is obviously their main dish. I heard their galbi is pretty good, but I haven’t had it there because neng myun is always the menu that I choose whenever I go there. =)

I love both mool nang myun and bibim nang myun, but I haven’t tried bibim nang myun there yet because again, mool naeng myun is the one for me all the time. =)

Please read this page for more information of Naengmyeon.

What it makes their naengmyon so tasty is, I believe, their unique beef broth.

The restaurant is located on the 6th, and during weekends it sometimes blocks traffic on the 6th street because of cars waiting for valet parking. When my husband and I lived in Ardmore and 6th in Korea Town, obviously we walked to the place. If you can’t stand valet parking, it’s relatively easy to find a spot within three blocks.

The restaurant is big, clean and the interior is simple and pretty modern. The place is not definitely one of inexpensive restaurants, but I heard their food (besides naengmyeon) such as Korean BBQ, kalbijjim, other galbi dishes, or tofu soup, is pretty good, too. So it’s probably worth to spend some. The restaurant has a branch in Korea. I’m not sure if this is the main one.
