Do you know of Korean BBQ near Olympic/Western (Korea town)??

I went to this very small intimate Korean BBQ resturaunt near Olympic Blvd/Western---and cannot remember name or exact location. The food was AMAZING! It was a true feast. And they served this cold noodle soup with cucumbers.

1) What is name of that soup?
2) Do you know this resturaunt? It was soo small, there was hardly any parking in front. The booths were made of wooden benches. It was like nobody spoke english there---very polite. I think there was a fish tank to side, near entrance. The resturaunt facade, looked like asian style house (unique roof).

It was sooooo good. They served us ALL the trimmings to a TRUE Korean feast! Please help---today is my Birthday :)

      You might be thinking of Chun Ki Wa? Across the street from the car wash?

      I haven't been there in a while, but I remember loving their cold noodles.

        Sa Rit Gol is near that intersection and it is an absolute gem. It would match your description in almost every way, excecpt for the facade. Sa Rit Gol is tucked in teh back corner of a strip mall with a small parking lot in front.

          I think the cold noodle soup you're thinking of is naeng-myun. Unfortunately, I don't know which restaurant you're referring to in your post. Chosun Galbee is the place I usually go to for naengmyun and galbee. It's a rather large restaurant, so definitely will not have the intimate feel of the place you're describing.
