No English Name Korean
There are a lot of Korean restaurants in K-town that have no English name. This one is in a plaza on 6th and Serrano along with a branch of Paris Baguette, Yushun, and a place called Pho LA. It's next door to Albae Korean Restaurant. We decided to go because J noticed a traditional Korean soup called sol-long-tang:
The English name is beef knuckle/knee soup, and I would liken is to Korean pho. It had big chunks of tendon and a few pieces of beef, so if you like tendon this is the dish for you. I really ejoyed the broth with a bowl of really great rice. I love when restaurants get rice right.
J wanted the slow-cooked pork and blood sausage platter. Needless to say, it was a lot of food.
We also tried their version of black goat stew. It has a lot of parilla leaves in it, which are kind of minty but also medicinally herbaceous. I wasn't feeling too well last night so the strong smell was really off putting to me and I stuck with my bland soup and rice. I tried some more today, though, and I liked it.
Also, hilarious signs are a great passion of mine. Los Angeles really takes the cake in the silly signs department.

Aramark should have taken cues from these sign makers. Doesn't Soup with Stuff sound more appetizing than BLT Soup? I mean, neither is appealing, but at least people would be confused instead of grossed out.
