5 /5 euigoo kim: Ive visited this place with my family several times now, but Im just getting around to writing a review.
I was surprised and happy to see the name "Heungrae-gak," as its the same name as a restaurant I used to frequent in La Crescenta.
Pulling into the parking lot, I was shocked again by the buildings exterior. It looked so old and run-down, almost like a movie set, that I wondered if it was even open.
But when I opened the door, I was in for another surprise. Even during a weekday lunch, almost all the tables were full.
The biggest surprises were the great taste, excellent value, and the fact that theyve added Korean dishes to the menu.
That day, we ordered the Pork Bulgogi and Soft Tofu Stew (Sundubu). While it wasnt exactly like the food in LAs Koreatown, it was still incredibly delicious.
The sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk) here is especially good. Im a "dip it" person (찍먹), and its perfect that way. Highly recommend!
