Nestled in Koreatown, Lee Ga is a vibrant spot known for its fresh cold noodles, hearty hangover soups, and scrumptious dumplings, making it a must-visit.
"A favorite for Korean cuisine, frequented by Kristie Hang and Jean Trinh." - Eater Staff
"Lee Ga in Koreatown is known for its chilled buckwheat noodles, mostly because they’re made fresh instead of coming out of a package. And while chewy noodles sloshing around in icy beef broth (and other spicier naengmyeon options) are absolutely a reason to come to this strip mall Korean restaurant, we enjoy the whole package here. Lee Ga’s combos come with seasonal banchan, huge, generously stuffed mandu, and marinated beef ribs that slide right off the bone. It’s an ideal meal on a hot summer day or really any day that you’re in the mood to eat well." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
"The teeth-chatteringly-cold naengmyeon noodles from Lee Ga stand out in a crowded Koreatown market for its scratch-made buckwheat strands and rich-tangy Pyongyang-style broth. Also terrific are the hard-to-find jengban naengmyeon coated in a spicy-sweet sauce with sliced vegetables, beef, and raw fish." - Cathy Chaplin, Matthew Kang

"Lee Ga in Koreatown is known for its chilled buckwheat noodles, mostly because they’re made fresh instead of coming out of a package. And, yes, chewy noodles sloshed in icy beef broth or spicy sauce are absolutely a reason to come to this strip mall Korean restaurant. But so are all of the delicious things to surround your naengmyeon with, like the seasonal banchan and huge mandu wrapped tightly enough to catch a glimpse of their kimchi insides. The bulgogi is delightfully soupy, loaded with glass noodles that soak up the juice, and the giant marinated beef ribs are some of the most tender we’ve pulled off a bone in recent memory. All of the above makes Lee Ga far more special than your average Koreatown strip mall spot and somewhere you’ll plan to return to soon. photo credit: Jessie Clapp photo credit: Jessie Clapp photo credit: Jessie Clapp photo credit: Jessie Clapp" - Sylvio Martins
