The place was kept clean and presentable the place was empty at the time I went. But they close at midnight. Parking was ok, shared among the small strip mall. The chicken was delicious, but they were kinda small like wings, I went to another restaurant for a medium container of white rice to accompany the fried chicken. The server was friendly and professional, but I could see her as being "rude" to some customers if you are too demanding.

Visited Hangari on Saturday evening to try their renown Kalguksu with some friends. I've known that…read morespecific parking lot/strip mall to be a nightmare parking wise, so I bit the bullet and used the on-site valet. There is sometimes street parking but the availability is rough, it's tough to park, and even one of the meters we ended up at just didn't work. They only charge a $5 cash service charge though, which isn't bad. We were lucky to be seated right away, even in a packed restaurant. The restaurant has a surprisingly modern design, and is comfortable for as small as it is. We were quickly served their signature kimchis and barley rice. The kimchi, particularly the yeolmu (young summer radish) kimchi, has a unique flavor profile well suited to their food. We ordered 2 bowls of their plain kalgooksu, 1 bibim milmyun, and 1 tteokbokki. The food came out fairly quickly. The kalgooksu was as expected the star of the show. The anchovy broth brings a savory complexity that seems impossible for a soup made from just dried fish and a few other ingredients. It even has a rich, almost thick, quality to it that is surprising for a fish broth. Their noodles, the titular kalgooksu, have the signature irregularity and chew of knife cut noodles. I appreciate the vegetables that always come in kalgooksu, like potato, pumpkin, and zucchini, which offer an earthy heartiness to the light soup. My only complaint is that the potato is in huge irregular chunks, and is barely cooked, though I feel like I have had this issue with many of the kalgooksu bowls I've had over the years. The bibim milmyun was solid. I think that I prefer the texture and flavor of naengmyeon buckwheat noodles, but the milmyun, which are made with mostly wheat flour, still provide a satisfying chew. The sauce tasted bright and fresh, especially with a splash of added vinegar. It also came with a small side portion of spicy pork and some rice paper to wrap. The tteokbokki was the one let down of the meal. To be fair, I wasn't expecting much out of tteokbokki at all restaurant like this whose specialty is essentially the opposite. I ordered the tteokbokki as a "safe pick" for a picky eater in the group. It turned out to be a bit mediocre in our opinion, and that friend ended up enjoying their kalgooksu anyways. If you're looking to try this dish, it's definitely one of if not the best I've had in Southern California, so I'd totally recommend it. I'll also warn to steer clear of the Garden Grove restaurant of the same name and specialty. I think it's a disappointing mimicry of this place.

Heard great things about this restaurant so I was very excited to try it while I was in town. Came…read moreon Sunday night at 7pm, and was very pleasantly surprised they had plenty of open tables to seat our party of 3 immediately. What we ordered: - Clam Kalguksu (5/5): this was sooo good! The noodle texture and broth favor was amazing. I would definitely order this again if I come back! - Large Bossam (4.5/5): I absolutely love bossam and this was exactly what I expect when I order bossam. Only reason it's not 5/5 is it's not really any different from bossam elsewhere. Overall, this place is definitely worth the hype and I will be come back when I'm in the ktown area again!

Nice quaint place with a few tables a few counter seats by the window and a few tables outside. Tablets to order are affixed on the indoor tables which is very modern. Missed the pancake and pear slushie which the latter was sold out and the former wasn't even on the menu when we came for lunch? So we went with the fried chix and the tofu soup. Nothing extraordinary but considering the area, halfway between ktown and northridge it will do. Of course the soup remained pipping hot throughout the meal, which has to be a standard when eating almost all korean soups. Food was good. Chicken was sweet and sticky-icky. The tofu soup missed the oomph. Was spicy and pipping hot but was kinda watery. Likely a one and done since there are so many other different options in the area. Might be worth a retry if we're in the area and under time constraints again.

It's high time I reviewed this place. It is the go-to spot…read morefor a friend of mine and myself, who try come every few months or so. We've been doing that for a few years now, so that should tell you something right there. Our order is fairly consistent: we each start with a mimosa that comes in a highball glass, so one is usually all we need. Next, we share an order of kimchi biscuits (you get two). So delicious! Packed full of kimchi, bacon and cheddar cheese, it's a nice combo of flavors that play well together. The interior is usually soft and warm, with a nice crunchy crust. Top that with a smatter of the cinnamon butter that it comes with...yum! Our choice of entree varies, anything from avocado toast, to their kale and seaweed salad or any of their other selections they have from their brunch/lunch menu. On this outing, my friend and I both opted for the bibimbap. I opted for the pork bulgogi while my friend got the chicken version. It comes with a generous amount of carrots, zucchini, shiitake mushrooms and bean sprouts, and is topped with a runny, sunny side up egg that serves as an excellent sauce when you mix everything together, along with the gochujang sauce. We upgraded and got it with brown rice in the hot stone bowl. Worth it! The regular bibimbap is good, but when you mix in the crunchy crust that comes from the bottom of the stone bowl, you get an additional texture that makes the dish really stand out. The flavors already come together nicely, and the crunchy bits just enhance the experience. For dessert, we like to share the "lemon pie", which is actually a scoop of lemon gelato that comes in a glass that also includes graham crackers, topped with toasted marshmallows. A nice way to end the meal. And the staff! We usually either have Justin or Ann as our server, but everyone there is super friendly and helpful. They are consistently good at checking up on you and making sure you have everything you need. Just another 5 star reason of why we keep coming back!

The food here is great for sharing and drinking with friends. Parking is really easy to find in the neighborhood.

I love Ace Gogi. Love love love Ace Gogi…read more My little brother and I go here weekly for lunch. Our go-to location is the Van Nuys one. It's not as nice as the Fallbrook location, but we like how lively and active it is. There's always energy in there. The Fallbrook spot is really nice though--better ambience, more spacious, and just a cleaner feel overall. We just haven't caught it when it's busy yet. That one feels more chill and laid back, which is nice when you want a slower vibe. So honestly, best of both worlds depending on the mood. Our go-to order is the spicy bulgogi with white rice and the pepper beef. We've tried a lot of the menu too--spicy baby octopus, cow tongue, a bunch of different items--but we always end up going back to what we know. It's one of those spots where we just sit there, eat, talk, and keep going until we're full. Shoutout Ace Gogi for the vibes and the food. I'm sure you can get higher quality cuts elsewhere, but that would probably come with a higher price. For what it is, we're always satisfied.

At the time, they had some rewards going on, but I preferred to be unsubscribed. My friend and I were sat within 30 minutes, and we enjoyed much of the meats here. Service was pretty slow; if you want to order, you'll really need to reach out to a staff member, jumping around and all. The one thing that stood out to me other than eating here was my consistent comments on smells, and not in a good way. For starters, ventilation here is very poor. On top of that, I'm not sure what it was at the time of visit, but there was a strong scent of paint or chemicals which made the entire dining experience unbearable. I still got my money's worth the best that I could, but the moment I got home, I immediately got sick for a week, and it was not from eating too much. Something about that chemical smell... I'm not sure what it is, but I can't put my finger on it. (And I wouldn't want to, either... I'm sick of / from it.)

They never hold back on their portions! So be prepared to leave completely full or take some leftovers. The ambiance is nice and cozy. It's never too loud, and it always has a nice vibe.
