I come here almost every weekday for lunch. They have a great deal for business lunches with generous portions plus tea, soup and a fortune cookie. I mean what else can you wish for just $12 ? Very quick service and friendly staff. This place is owned by Koreans and you can see a lot of Koreans coming here too which is a good sign.

I love this place for its authenticity and service is great. I use to go a lot more before and I remembered how good their black noodles were, but I went recently and I think they changed the recipe, it had so much garlic, making it difficult to enjoy, couldn’t really taste the black bean paste. Hopefully they’ll change the recipe back to the original.

I've visited this place with my family several times now, but I'm just getting around to writing a review. I was surprised and happy to see the name "Heungrae-gak," as it's the same name as a restaurant I used to frequent in La Crescenta. Pulling into the parking lot, I was shocked again by the building's 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 they've added Korean dishes to the menu. That day, we ordered the Pork Bulgogi and Soft Tofu Stew (Sundubu). While it wasn't exactly like the food in LA's Koreatown, it was still incredibly delicious. The sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk) here is especially good. I'm a "dip it" person (찍먹), and it's perfect that way. Highly recommend!
