Goyohan Soul offers a refined take on Korean cuisine, balancing bold flavors with elegance. The Mini Kimchi Pancake was crisp outside, soft inside, and packed with tangy, umami-rich kimchi. The Silky Plump Oyster lived up to its name, fresh and briny with a delicate sweetness.
The Kimchi Fried Rice with Chicken had a satisfying wok hei, with well-seasoned grains absorbing the deep, spicy notes of aged kimchi. The tender chicken made it even heartier. The L.A. Galbi was a standout—juicy, Korean-style BBQ short ribs marinated in a sweet-savory sauce, perfectly caramelized yet tender.
The Grilled Half-Shell Scallop was cooked to perfection, its natural sweetness enhanced by a buttery glaze. The Army Stew was warm and comforting, loaded with Korean sausages, luncheon meat, tofu, rice cakes, kimchi ramyeon, and fish cake, all swimming in a rich, tangy broth.
Overall, Goyohan Soul elevates familiar Korean flavors with quality ingredients and thoughtful execution, making it a spot worth revisiting.
If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors, Hoodadak is the place to be. Known for their rich and hearty Gukbap, this restaurant has nailed the taste of traditional Korean comfort food. We ordered the Daeeji Gukbap, and it arrived boiling hot, exactly as it should be. What impressed us were the small but significant details, like the baby shrimps they provided to mix in—a customary addition in Korea that lets you tailor the flavor to your preference.
We also tried the Dakgalbi, which was a real treat. The sauce had a delightful sweetness that paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice, balancing out the dish with every bite. As for the Kimbap, it had that authentic taste we love, bringing us right back to the streets of Korea.
The portions here are impressive—ideal for anyone with a big appetite or looking to share. For the quality and quantity of food, Hoodadak is amazing value for money. Whether you’re a Korean food enthusiast or trying Gukbap for the first time, Hoodadak is sure to leave you satisfied!
