Chungwa Kall Gook

Vegan (ask for it without eggs) spicy, chewy cold noodles with lots of extra veggies. They give you SO much. They also serve with panchan, which is always welcome. Other noodle joints just give you kimchi and pickled radish. This place gives you the aforementioned, radish kimchi and teriyaki mung beans.

Tasty chicken soup with homemade noodles. HUGE portion and enough for two people with average appetites to share, unless you are ready to have a food baby and like to waddle out of eateries and malls.
My mom ordered the seafood noodle soup and also some Kimbap, which was tasty, but not worth 5 dollars in my opinion.
Service was a tad slow (getting the food) but it tasted very fresh so it was worth it. Great for a cold day!

Whenever I come to this food court, I never know which stall to patronize. I have repeatedly gone to the one where their sign has NO English and they do the cold noodles with a combination of the grilled meats. I should have stuck to this one but I decided to try something different recently.
The lady at Chunwa Kall Gook called out to me and told me to try their food. She seemed friendly & willing to help me through their menu so I decided I would try their food.
The bimbimbap was disappointing. Not much meat and too many weird leaves. But maybe that’s just to my non-​Korean palette.
I got my daughter the chicken noodle soup which was much better… which I suppose I ought to have noted as this is a noodle house.
The banchan was crazy… weird salted pickled fish, crazy spicy mystery pickled vegetables, weird flavored root thingys… no thank you!
All in all, a somewhat disappointing experience. I will try other stalls next time.

This is my favorite vendor out of everyone else in the Galleria food court. I can never go wrong with #14– the mandoo is plump and juicy and broth is super delicious, homey, and most importantly, NOT salty– I never feel thirsty afterwards. Portions are also very generous, you could probably feed 2 people with each dish. I also love how convenient it is for me to grab a meal here, and get my grocery shopping done downstairs. Win-​win!

Their dol sot bi bim bap with sprouts is one of the healthiest choices you can make in this food court. The lady said that they do not put MSG in their food which is impressive for the food court. She also said that they hand make their kal gook su (noodles). So enjoy.

3.5 stars. Chung Wa Kal Gook Soo is one of many choices in Koreatown Galleria’s food court. The variety and competition makes it hard for any one particular vendor to stand out, but I can imagine that the ones whose food/​service don’t make the cut are quickly dropped by the consuming public.
I tried the Kong Na Mul Kook Bab, which was on special. The fact that it was on special was a deciding factor for me to try Chung Wa among the other vendors. It was a beef (or could it have been pork?) broth with meat, spiced up with chili, with bean sprouts, rice, and egg. It came with some small pickled (kim chee, etc.) side dishes and it was enjoyable, but a big bowl of spicy broth can be overwhelming. A meal in itself.
The food court is generally clean as staff come to the tables to wipe down and to pick up trays and stuff other eaters leave behind. Water is available at many dispensers, cold or hot. Chung Wa uses their numbering display (much like a deli) to let you know when your order is ready. I wouldn’t call it «fast food» since It took some time for the dish to be prepared.
Verdict: Good food and service at the counter, in a food court setting. Will be back to look for other plates and specials.

My first experience with Seolleongtang (in a member of the koreatown mall plaza foodcourt!)
Apparently this is fairly hard core Korean. So I was pretty proud of myself for totally ordering it by pointing at a picture and saying the number 15.
It is delicious. Reminds me of ramen, but the personalize your own flavor style of phở. Which I was in fact thinking of first before we ended up here. Cheap and friendly!
Yum!
