Mountain Noodles

If mountain noodles has no fans, I'm gone. Mountain noodles is the best spot in ktown though often far emptier than it should be. This spot is iconic for its crazy variety of Korean foods, all executed authentically, and is really just the go-to spot for any specific Korean food cravings when you can't think of any restaurant that specializes in what you want. It's really nothing special, nothing off kilter that hasn't been done before, and that kind of restaurant in LA is such a gem. Some of my favorites are the fried squid, the seafood pancake, and the yuk gae jang. Everything is fantastic and you really can't go wrong with whatever you order. For Koreans trying to ease non-Korean friends into your cultural food, this is the spot to do it. For non-Koreans who are trying to take ownership of expanding your palate, this is a great place to start. Prices are so reasonable, staff (especially Sophie who works weekends) are SO friendly, and parking is plentiful for LA ($5 for 3 hours with validation). Tons of seating and so much space for big groups!

One of my husband's and my favorite Kal Guk Soo spots. The soup has a unique flavor, and the noodles are perfectly chewy. I don't understand why this place is so quiet without many customers. I hope more people give it a try and love it as much as we do.

i ordered the fried squid and cold noodles and they were super duper yummy!! service was really fast and the server was so attentive and kind. the prices were cheap and their portions were large. very chill korean restaurant vibe; wasn't rowdy or loud at all.definitely trying more menus next time :')

K-town has so many places to eat, it's saturated with little mom and pop eateries that it's hard to pick. Stumbled upon a row of places and randomly decided to eat here even though it wasn't very busy like the other places around. we were in a bit of a hurry so thought we'd be served quickly, and so we did. It's very simply decorated and a one person front of the house operation, she wasn't very hospitable or communicative but took the order and brought the food. Not entirely a pleasant experience but just ok in that respect. food was satisfactory and as expected from the basic hot pot and tofu lunch special.

By far the best Korean noodles place we have tried. Good price point and attentive service. The restaurant is clean and the food is delicious. I remember they had a location in Gardena many years ago. We used to go there a lot back in the days. So glad we found it in K-Town!

Whenever I'm craving Korean food I always come to Mountain Noodles because they have such an extensive menu and their food tastes like a warm homemade meal I always swear by the spicy beef noodles but love their broths and side dishes. Sad to hear they're moving!!

Excellent service staff! 10/10 they go above and beyond and let's not talk about the food! I had a No.1 which is Beef rib with spicy broth and rice noodles! It is outstanding and a bombo of flavor on your mouth! The ambience is really friendly and perfect for a family dinner! I would recommend!

We went around late lunch with my family. The customer service was great!!! The waiter (not sure her name) was attentive and helpful! It was in a plaza we had to pay $5 for parking but weekday is free.The food was awesome. My son love the beef bone with udon 9/10, the jajameon was 7/10, hot stone bibimpap was 6/10.The ambiance is more like a quick lunch spot or late night place after an event! The price is also reasonable! Would recommend!

I had high hopes but was disappointed for sure. Food: The noodle was 4.5 star, the 0.5 is due to the seafoodiness in the soup - I ordered the meat noodles with no seafood, but the soup had a pretty strong seafood taste that I was not expecting, which leads me to question the soup base a little, especially cross contamination concerns. The noodles were pretty chewy, and the meat was tender and actually quite yummy. The side dishes were good! I loved the cucumber and radish. The problem was with the cutlet. It didn't taste fresh at all, my husband took a bite and spit it out. Tried another piece still the same thing. He barely ate his food. Service: We didn't bother addressing the meat with the server because she didn't understand or speak too much English. During the time of order, I tried to ask if I could get the noodles a bit undercooked to make it chewy, she couldn't understand. Which is fine the noodles were great. She was attentive and refilled our side dishes.Parking: parking is $5 with validation and $20 without, during dinner time. We parked in the garage. Ktown is always busy especially this plaza.Quick service and no crowd on a Wednesday night. Might not come back though. Maybe we caught a bad timing with not so fresh food.

The bitch in the front doesn't care for any person of color and aside from that she charged my card two times and two different charges like I would never notice, like I'm made of money and too stupid to see the food was great but the bitch in the front is a cold pice of kimchi
