    This is a fairly decent samgyetang spot in Koreatown. Menu is pretty straightforward and most people come here to eat samegyetang. I personally crave this any time I feel like my energy level is low or I feel like my body needs some additional nutrition from different herbs that they use to make the broth. If you are not familiar, it's chicken or hen cooked for a very long time with a variety of herbs and nutritious ingredients with great health benefits. Service was great as well. I would recommend this spot if anyone is looking to get their samgyetang craving fix.

    Korea's version of chicken soup with rice and ginseng. Traditionally, Koreans eat samgyetang during the hottest days of summer. But for me, whenever the weather's cold or I start to feel like a cold coming on, I always crave samgyetang. Menu is limited and there's only 3 types of samgyetang. I opted for the Young Yang samgyetang, which was served with ginseng. Clay pot was served piping hot with banchan and some salt to season the broth or chicken. The chicken is stuffed with rice, garlic, jujube date, and sweet potato. Broth is clean and meal was hearty. Banchan adds a refreshing and crunchy bite in between. Service is kind and friendly. Food came out within 10 min of placing my order.
