Olympic Noodle

The best mom and dad family Korean noodle place it's the best best best Korean soups you'll ever have !! Their dumplings are heavenly and to die for. I call them my EEMOS means aunt in Korean I took all my family members here they all loved them as if we were eating in Korea Thank you EEMOS

Olympic Noodle has great chicken kalguksu, the broth is very flavorful and rich. Hearty and warm for a cold winter day. Noodles are handmade and chewy with just the right amount of bite. The kimchi is great too. The steamed dumplings had a lot of chives and were super juicy. They were presented in a steamer on top of some cabbage. We visited during peak hours and there was barely any wait since there were so many tables. There is a free parking lot in the back. Prices were great for portion size. You should definitely come here if you want some great noodles and vibes :) You will for sure leave Olympic Noodle with a food coma.

We went here with some friends on a Friday evening for dinner around 7pm. No reservations and it was not crowded at all, just a few families. We ordered the seafood pancake and the steamed dumplings for the table and my partner and I shared the beef noodle soup. All the portions are huge and shareable. I was a big fan of both the steamed dumplings and the pancake, though I think the pancake was my favorite dish. One of the servers (maybe owner? Think Korean auntie) showed us how to make the dipping sauce for the dumplings which was so tasty! They also had a generous portion of barchan (kimchi and turnip) and gave additional when we finished them. The beef noodle soup was also a large shareable portion for 2 and came with both store bought and handmade noodles. I'm not a huge noodle fan but it was nice on a cold day. Would definitely recommend this place for a homestyle meal! Our total was ~$50 per couple after tax and tip.There is a parking lot in the back with limited spots and also has the spots available to double park. We parked behind our friends car since we were dining together.

The food is amazing. One of the best kalgooksu places in LA. It feels like you're tasting mom's cooking and the portion is Korean mom portion. Huge. service is like any Asian restaurant. Ambiance is like when you go back to grandma's place. Very homey.I'd suggest get 1 kalgooksu, share, get dumplings and maybe jjolmyeon to share so you can taste both hot and cold noodles. There's a small parking lot, but you have to double park so you might have to move your car and stuff. A bit busy during lunch time on a weekday.

An authentic, light and hearty meal just west of koreatown. The chicken kalguksu and steamed mandu were a great combo together. Do not underestimate the kalguksu portion size as there are actually a lottt of noodles. We still finished everything! There's no music in the background so it feels like you're eating at grandma's home. Only downside is the limited banchan. Small parking lot in the back and there was no valet person when we went.

This place is so legit, everything I've had is really authentic and homey. You only get two banchan, a fresh kimchi and pickled radish, but it's really all you need because they work really well with all their dishes. The kimchi is really punchy!I've gotten the mandu, chicken kalguksu, and beef rib cabbage soup. Their mandu is the some of best I've ever had, the skin is super thin, with lots of filling. The kalguksu noodles are homemade and super chewy. Also, the portion sizes here are very big, so we usually go home with leftovers. I always struggle deciding on what to get here because everything looks so good. They have an attached lot with valet for $3 (cash), so it's easy to park as well. I love this place and would highly recommend it!

I selfishly wanted to keep this spot to myself but decided that the world deserved to experience this gem. Olympic Noodle is THE spot for the best healing chicken noodle soup in ktown. And you know it's good-good when the primary customer base is cute ol' grandmas and grandpas. My go-to order is the chicken noodle soup and steamed dumplings. Whenever I'm feeling a bit under the weather (or suffering from an unbearable hangover oops), I always immediately place an order here. The steamed dumplings also feel so warm and cozy, like the feeling of eating at home with family. Parking seems like it can be a bit tough as there are minimal parking spots in the lot and the streets always look crowded (as anywhere in ktown). I usually go right as they open and always manage to get a spot so I'm uncertain what it's like during peak hours.

I've been wanting to try kalguksu in LA for the longest time and I was so happy with my experience at Olympic Noodle. We went around 3 pm on a Saturday and it was pretty empty and quiet but the Korean ummas were attentive and friendly. I ordered the Beef Noodle Soup and my boyfriend ordered the Chicken Noodle Soup and oh my goodness the portions are HUGE. A bowl is about $20, and I feel like the price is fair considering it could feed 2 people easily. We ended up having to take my bowl to go and just be aware they do charge about 50 cents for togo containers. Overall, I would definitely come back if I was craving a comforting noodle soup because it really felt like a home cooked meal. The beef was a little bit chewy but still had good flavor. The chicken soup felt light and the meat was more tender, but I still preferred the richness of the beef noodle.

Food was great. It tasted like the grandma made with her own hands. The seafood pancake was very fluffy.

I have been many times to enjoy the Korean noodles here at Olympic Noodle. However, today, I had an unpleasant experience by finding an insect on my chicken kimchi soup. I reported it to the server but she took the dish to the kitchen and came back to say it was not a bug.I was somehow disappointed by the dishonesty. It could be better if they frankly admitted it since it can happen. I also have� difficult time with a flyer around my table.
