“ The Jajangmyeon always be my favorite! Non halal food, pork options everywhere and seafood of course. Recommended food: Jajangmyeon, Champong and Tangsuyuk. The place is spacious. They give you free drink "minuman jagung", kind of ocha in Japanese. The owner of the restaurant is Korean. So, sometimes you will find some Korean guests. The place is around MOI, so it convenience with a lot of parking options. ”
“ Love the food so much!! Kids love the food too! Jjang myeon, jabchaebab must try! I definitely will come back again, even if the place is not too ok (a bit smelly due to circulation). ”
“ Delicious Korean food with good ambience which located in front of MOI building, but still in the same area. You should park at MOI and walk there. Their portion is quite big, enough for 3-4 person. They have small VIP room at the second floor. Jajangmyeon was too soggy at that time. Pork tangsuyuk is nice with their special ginger dipping sauce Gunmandu is nice, crispy outside and has japchae filling inside Pork tonkatsu was served with special sweet sauce and salad Jjamppong soup is very tasty and not too spicy, but has too much clams instead of shrimp or crab You will get free fried yams covered with caramelized sugar and sesame seeds, it is very delicious, unfortunately they were very little, I can’t add more. ”
“ Big portion of jjajangmyeon, served with big slices of cucumber. If you choose to leave the cucumber on, the jjajangmyeon sauce will be more watery and not everyone's cup of tea. They provided free corn tea which is a plus point! Cozy place as well. Definitely recommend this place for a casual eat. Everything was served rather quickly! Oh they also provided a free dessert of sweet potato, which is superb! Love the crunchy sugar texture coating the sweet potato. ”
“ I have been here several times and in my opinion Holy Noodle is the best place to get Jajangmyeon, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk (three quintessential Korean Chinese dishes). Their deep fried pork cutlet is also very good too. The owner and staff is amiable and helpul. ”
