"Specialties: Chic Mul Naengmyeon, Kimchi Dumplings When the temperature in LA does that thing where it’s 88 degrees every day for three months straight, go to Yu Chun. The bare-bones diner on Olympic has a menu full of different soups, dumplings, and galbi platters, but everyone here is eating the naengmyeon in silence. It’s a giant, refreshing bowl of cold kudzu noodles (cut with scissors by the server) chilling in an icy, vinegary broth filled with boiled beef, radishes, and sesame seeds. If you’re looking to add a little heat, there’s spicy mustard on the table." - Brant Cox, Nikko Duren, Sylvio Martins
