Noona Noodles

Located in Food Gallery 32 (a food court), Noona Noodles has everything I need when I'm on my own and crave jjampong - a spicy korean seafood noodle soup. I arrived at 11:15 to a relatively empty food court (though that changed by 11:30), made my order for the jjampong ($17), took a buzzer, and retrieved my order 10 minutes later.The portion size was quite generous, and so too was the amount of seafood. Ample amounts of mussels, both head-on shell-on shrimp and peeled shrimp, and octopus adorned the bowl. The soup was quite rich with stock and garlic aromatics. Notably, the smokiness of wok-sauteed vegetables (wok-hei / 過氣) was present as well.When I made my order, employees warned about the spiciness and confirmed that I was ok with it. Damn right I was. I needed extra napkins to deal with the heat, which is my benckmark for spicy enough.

Nice spot for different Korean noodle dishes in a casual setting. This is more of a spot for a quick bite than to go for the ambience since it is in a food court. Went with the udon and the broth, noodles, and shrimp tempura were perfectly cooked. The egg was hard boiled instead of poached though which was a little let done. Flavors were good otherwise and the workers were friendly.

I stopped by Noona Noodles in the Koreatown Food Gallery and ordered their Soo Jae Bi wide noodle soup with chicken. You can pick your protein. This was a crowded Sunday afternoon in the food hall and Noona Noodles tucked into the back right corner was no different.This collagen soup ran around sixteen dollars and, in take out mode, comes with the noodles and kimchi packed separately. Despite the crowd, Noona Noodles took around fifteen minutes to prepare this soup. All the businesses give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. The customer facing people working there are very nice.The soup was good when I got home. It is savory and gthe collagen broth is rich. They are generous with the noodles and the chicken. It is a substantial serving and should satisfy any appetite. This is a good soup if you are under the weather. There are the onions in there along with the kimchi. It's not spicy and some people may find the flavor a bit wanting, but Noona has other offerings with heightened spice levels. This is good comfort food at a decent price that will satisfy.Three good stars!

Ambiance: 5/5This was located inside a small food court. It is crowded but still a cute place to visit. Service: 5/5Food came out promptly and you have the option for dining in or taking out. Food: 4/5We got the Icy Cold Noodles. The broth was sweet, slightly sour, and umami. It was very refreshing.

Coming here is an experience to say the least! It is packed! This stall is pricey, but I guess the portion reflects it -- it is massive! Finding a place to sit when it is busy is hard, but totally worth it for a fun time. The food here is great, but I would like to try something else because I feel like these aren't what the stall is known for. The service was also not special, and slightly aggressive, but they pump out your food super fast, and it is really tasty.

A little hidden gem in the 32nd street food court. We chose this on our walk back to James Nomad because it had gluten free options. The Pho is safe as it comes with rice noodles. We skipped the side of sweet teriyaki which because we just weren't sure (soy sauce) and didn't ask before leaving. We did add sirachi in the broth, to give it some kick. The girl tsking orders was very helpful. She said they have gluten free noodle options if you needed a ramen sub. We did get a a gluten Bulgogi Ramen as well for those that can eat gluten. It was also nothing short of awesome. I think we are going back to the food court tomorrow to sample more things, and maybe not just from Noona. More to come!

They open LATE in the night! We were feeling a little peckish after a Knicks game. I wanted something warm and soothing. Maybe because it was almost closing time? But the shrimp tempura udon I ordered did NOT hit. The broth was suuuuper salty. The shrimp tempura was soggy when it came out and I picked it up right away when the buzzer went off. I'd be open to try other things on their menu or another kiosk.

The kalguksu serving was pretty huge and it was good! Great for a cold day! The ramen tasted a little too artificial like instant ramen so I wouldn't say it's worth the price. The food court is quite busy but we found a seat in a few minutes! Great for a quick stop to eat in K-town with other options around!

To be honest, I'm disappointed every time I come here. The ramen options look soooo good in the pictures but they just don't taste how you want them to. Ingredients are boring, service is fine, flavor is never what i'm expecting.I haven't tried much of the menu but so far I must've ordered wrong because I've been extremely unhappy. Tastes more like bland soup than quality ramen (prices are higher than I would like for this cafeteria style meal)

While in K-Town, we stumbled upon a food court with a variety of Korean restaurants. It was the perfect spot for a quick lunch before our next city tour. I enjoyed the Knife-cut noodle soup in a rich bone broth with seasonal veggies. The food court had limited seating on the first floor, so we sat at a community table. There's also plenty of seating available on the second level.
