Korean food has been gaining popularity lately along with Korean pop culture in general, and with food this good, it really is no surprise. While most people think of kimchi or bibimbap when they think of Korea, the country’s main staple other than rice is myeon (noodles) !
We personally always get excited when it comes to Korean Food, and seriously this place is a must-visit if you’re into Korean Food. Located on the 3rd floor of Lotte Shopping Avenue, Noodle King focusing on serving authentic Korean dishes with Korean chef and owner too! Their specialty is the most popular Jjajangmyeon, and yes myeon means noodle.
The interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated. The most eye-catching part is the using of the low-rise table which inspired from Korean “floor culture”. The place is quite spacious and feels comfy with casual and modern design combined with traditional style. The using off white Korean brick on the wall with warm lighting is very cool!
Jjajangmyeon (Pork)
Jajang Myeon is the most popular menu here in Noodle King. The homemade straight and chewy noodle with thick black bean sauce and sesame seeds on top. Taste wise, it’s turned out so good and their sauce was the bomb! It’s sweet yet savory with the generous amount of caramelized onion and chunks of pork.
Cheese Buldak Spicy
Decided to order this since we’re into anything with cheese. Yes, whoever could resist those sexy melted cheese?? Careful cause it’s a bit spicy! Buldak, “bul” translate to fire, and “dak” means chicken in Korean. The chicken thigh pieces coated in a sweet, chili pepper paste, and melted mozzarella cheese fresh from the oven. The taste and seasoning are freaking good! It was not too spicy to my palate (I can go crazy with chili), but in general, it’s spicy.
Overall, Noodle King serves super tasty and delicious Jjajangmyeon. It’s one of the best that we ever had. The Cheese Buldak Spicy is also compulsory, it tastes great as well. It’s super recommended and we’ll come back for sure!
