Eighth Street Soondae 8가순대

The 25 Best Restaurants In Koreatown - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If you’re into blood sausage and organ meats, Eighth Street Soondae is the promised land. And if you’re not, well, this humble Koreatown restaurant might change that. As the name implies, this family-run strip mall spot serves Koreatown’s finest soondae, Korean blood sausage stuffed with rice and glass noodles. Nearly every table orders the soondae combo that easily feeds two to three carnivores, which comes with a mound of sausage, slices of poached heart, liver, and tongue, a rich beefy soup, and a handful of banchan. From there, dip your sausage in salt or salted shrimp or spicy soybean paste, or throw it into the soup with purple rice. Repeat until blissed out." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
