    Udon
    Gene G.

    Upon entering Hannam Market to your immediate right is Yanusa , one of several eateries inside the store. I've eaten here so many times and just never left a review. Yanusa is a very tiny and crowded,only 4 tables and a few bench seats. My lunch consisted of Baked Mussels and Seafood Udon. (Several Banchan are included with order) The Baked Mussels are my favorite and I always order them. The Seafood Udon is loaded with portions of Seafood. This simple lunch will fill your appetite and will not even put a dent in your pocket book. *** Stop # 6 of 7 from my DTLA / K Town excursion

    Quick and easy! Simple dishes from sushi rolls to udon combos. Perfect place to chow down after or before shopping at the market. They also provide catering service (which is awesome!) Everything here is fresh and good but the minus 1 star since they have very limited seating available!

    The saddest looking cali rolls.

    This place has been my go to place for a quick bite for my parents and I. But lately the quality and portions have been so off. I understand the prices for everything is going up nowdays but that doesnt mean the portion and quality of your food should go down. The rice on my california rolls were so thin and the fillings are so little you can see empty space in them.

    Don't go shopping while hungry? No problem. Stop into Yanusa, set nearby the produce section. They have an extensive menu of soups and noodles and sushi --- at least I think so. My Korean isn't so good, but I can certainly read the pictures! Nice little lunch nook here with tables and mini booths and a bar area. I snagged the last stool and ordered #7. Got pleasantly met with a couple baked mussels (delicious if mysterious); a big bowl of Udon; a big sushi roll of krab and avocado and veggies; some Korean pickles, and kimchi. Kind of a lot of food - and at $10, pretty dang reasonable. Service is quick, efficient and friendly. (Friendlier than some of the 'Taster' staff in the store who don't look as kindly on the likes of me). It's impressive how they navigate the small space with all the diners, but somehow they do it. I would definitely return. There's a few places to eat inside this market, and this place looks the healthiest and nicest.

    A hidden gem!! SO hidden that I'm the first to review! Woohoo! This place is a small take-out and catering restaurant located INSIDE the corner of Hannam Chain, the Korean market in the plaza next to Cafe Tous Les Jour. As soon as you walk in, you'll see it on the right side. Very humble and cozy, only 4 small tables and a sushi bar. The times I've come here, I've tried their udon for $5.55. I really like the taste of their broth/soup! They also have sushi and rolls, and you can get a combination of california roll + udon for $7.39 which also comes with 2 mussels. You can also get a spicy tuna roll instead in the combo, although it's not on the menu. Pretty good deal! The service is always super fast and the prices are cheap! So next time you have to buy some groceries at the Korean market, stop by and grab a quick bite to eat! Easy on the wallet and yummy in the tummy! :)

    Portions have downgraded and they only offer takeout with a higher price now. I used to love coming here for years but now I'm hesitating to even come back.

    Banchans and miso
    Elizabeth L.

    $9 (with tax) for three handrolls, banchans, and miso soup!? I SAY YES!! My sister and I were shopping at Hanam and got a little hungry so we decided to stop at the little restaurant near the produce to have a bite. To our surprise, the 3 handrolls were amazing, fresh, and a great portion of food for two girls! The three handrolls are spicy fish (tuna, salmon, yellowtail mix I think), california roll, and eel. Let me tell you, they don't skimp on the meat or avocado! It was delicious. The miso soup was a wonderful touch and a bigger portion than normal. Score! Will be back.

    Ive never tried better than this udong soup !!! it's delicious . Ive had this even before covid and comehere every week :) and always end up leaving happy. Service is great and quick.

    I love the udon here it's the og spot ~ I've been coming here with my mom, friends, just everyone this past 20 years. Must be open for a reason for that long. Very convenient too theres a market after :) haha I usually get the cali odeng udon combo bomb they give you mayo mussels on the side too with the combo and I put the mussels on top of the cali roll . All I can say is bomb ! Very reasonable cheap price for a combo too. Great for quick lunch ! Great cheap delicious lunch why not ~ I love the ladies there !!! Always so nice to me too Its inside the on vermont and olympic hamnamchain market ~ check it out ! They have other delicious stuff too !

Unfortunately, when the halibut sashimi came out, both of us immediately noticed a strong, artificial chemical taste (almost like dish soap). We each tried one piece and politely let a server know, who took the plate back. The owner/chef came to our table visibly angry and immediately questioned us with, "What do you mean it smells like soap?" Despite being caught off guard by his hostility, we calmly explained that it tasted strongly chemical to us. Instead of addressing the concern, he raised his voice and argued that another table had been served cuts from the same fish and didn't complain, so it "didn't make sense." He repeatedly asked, "What do you want me to do with this?" while gesturing at the plate, but refused when we suggested he try a piece from our dish. He emphasized that it hurt his pride as a chef and continued yelling at us at our table for several minutes, which made us extremely uncomfortable. We explained that we had enjoyed the other dishes and would never have sent food back if the issue was minor. We also told him that we're willing to pay for all the other food we enjoyed, but the interaction ended with him angrily telling us to "just pay for the sake and leave." In all my years of dining out, I have never sent food back lightly, and I have never experienced a chef yelling at customers over politely expressing a concern. What could have been a good experience was completely overshadowed by unprofessional and hostile service. Would not return. 해삼전복멍게 포함 스키다시 반찬들은 전반적으로 신선하고 괜찮았어요. 그런데 메인으로 나온 광어회에서 비누/세재같은 맛이 나더라구요. 도저히 삼킬 수 없을 정도로 강한 냄새가 뱉은 다음에도 입 안에 남아있을 정도였어요. 각자 한 점만 먹은 후 서버에게 조심스럽게 말씀드렸고 서버분이 접시를 다시 가져가셨습니다. 이후 사장님/메인셰프님이 직접 오셨는데, 문제를 확인하기보다는 처음부터 화가 난 태도로 "비누 냄새가 난다는 게 무슨 말이냐"며 큰 소리로 따지셨습니다. 같은 생선으로 나간 다른 테이블은 문제가 없었다는 말을 반복하시며 이해할 수 없다고 하셨고, 저희가 직접 한 점 드셔보시라고 했지만 거절하셨습니다. 문제의 원인을 확인하려는 태도보다는 셰프로서의 자존심이 상했다는 점을 강조하셨고, 테이블 옆에서 몇 분간 목소리를 높이며 "이거 어떻게하라는거냐"며 따지셔서 굉장히 불편했습니다. 다른 음식은 다 맛있었고 먹은 음식 값을 내겠다, 그런데 냄새가 나는 회는 먹을 수가 없어 돌려보낸거다 라고 정중하게 말씀드렸지만 결국 "사케 값만 계산하고 가라"면서 역정을 내시더군요. 이런 경험은 처음이라 매우 당황스럽고 황당했네요. 맛의 문제를 떠나 손님 응대 방식이 많이 아쉬웠습니다. 재방문 의사 없습니다.

Service was attentive, friendly and quick, maybe because they weren't too busy at 3pm on Sunday. We were seated in a booth and the lighting was low and felt slightly clandestine, which we both liked. This would be great for a business meeting or after work drinks and starters. They validate parking for 2 hours and the 2nd floor location was easy to find.

The waiter was a super nice guy from Osaka who enjoyed chatting and asked me about the trip I took to Japan a few years back, and was patient with the few questions I had about the menu. I've got a soft spot for hayashi rice, so I didn't think twice once I saw it was on their menu. I also ordered the gyoza and a glass of the Momomo peach shochu. The shochu was incredibly good and I drained my glass pretty quickly, but at $12.50 a glass I wasn't going to order another, unfortunately. The hayashi rice was one of the best versions I've had of this dish -- frankly, even better than one of the places I had it in Ginza. The egg was also cooked perfectly, so the yolk mixed in with the gravy, not all overcooked and hard. I cleaned my plate, it was so good, and I've been thinking about this dish ever since I had it. The gyoza were really good and served in one of the most generous portions I've seen, with eight to an order. I finished my meal with the hojicha pudding, which was served with a hot mug of hojicha alongside it. This was a light, airy, elegant way to end the meal and loved every bite of it. I'm genuinely looking forward to the next time I get to eat here.

I'm not a first-timer; I know what your food usually looks and tastes like. The katsu was paper-thin and dry like jerky, and the hamburger patty was way smaller than usual. It's not about takeout presentation, it's about what was actually delivered. ------------- I used to be a regular customer and actually considered this place a local favorite, but after today, I will NEVER order from here again. I paid $30 for a Tonkatsu and $36 for a Hamburg Steak, and what I received was an absolute joke. The tonkatsu portion was so ridiculously tiny that it literally looked like someone's leftovers tossed on top of a scoop of rice. For a $30 price point, you expect a full, quality meal--not a side-dish-sized piece of meat sitting in a half-empty box. To make matters worse, the $36 Hamburg steak was barely the size of a mini slider patty--it looked more like a meatball than an actual main dish. Charging these insane prices for such micro-portions is borderline robbery. The quality control and value for money have completely tanked. Extremely disappointed and angry.
