Koreatown restaurant map





신흥루 (新興樓) Sin-Hueng-Lu

1001 S Vermont Ave #106, Los Angeles, CA 90006 Map
213-380-1175

If you know what Zzam-Bbong is or want some seafood w/ spicy soup, this place is the one to go in K.town. Although it's not authentic Mandarin food, it's well adopted by Korean culture as anywhere in South Korea there are so-called "Jung-kuk-jip" meaning Chinese house (Mandarin-style restaurant). Another famous menu is Zza-jang-myun, sweet black sauce noodle. We paid $15 for 2 Zzam-Bbong. They also have half Zzam-Bbong & half Zza-jang-myun.

It's in the same mall w/ Hodoli so the parking lot gets full easily, BUT our kindest security Ajeossi will tell you where to park and also based on his advise, just go ahead and order first and as soon as any spot opens then park your car. That will be exact time for the food to be ready. And it was the exact time for us too!

If you like the soup, you can ask for more. They sell the soup for $8.00 while the noodle soup is less than that. BUT, ask the server quietly. We got a bowl-full of soybean soup for free!
