My first go at Korean cold noodles today because I showed some interest in trying cold noodles and Christel is like my magical food genie while we're here in California.

LOCATION: 1600, 10031 GARDEN GROVE BLVD., GARDEN GROVE, CA 92844

Neither of us have been here before but we looked up Korean cold noodles on yelp and decide to just go, and we lucked out. Gangnam Umuyi opens at 11:30am and we showed up about 10minutes after that so we were the first customers of the day!

Let me just say, this place is super cute. The woman who was our waitress was the cutest little Korean lady ever and was so great to us, filling us up on small plates and taking care of us so well while also watching Korean game shows on the big screen next to our table.

I decided to get Mul Naengmyun which is a cold noodle with sliced beef and vegetables with broth and Christel got the Kalbi + Mul/Kalbi Bibim Naengmyun combo which is kalbi and sliced beef and a spicy version of my cold noodles. Our sweet waitress then advised me to put in chili paste that she gave me and some vinegar on the table into my noodles because it would 100% taste better. She was right and I'm so glad I listened to her. I think I might've added a little too much vinegar because it was a little too tart and sour but all in all it was a great meal. I managed to finish all my meat and noodles and was stuffed in the end but the good kinda stuffed. Cold noodles leave you filled but not gross; its light and cool for your stomach and you feel satisfied but not sleepy and heavy. I almost wasn't able to finish it all and it got a little difficult to eat in the end because it has a lighter touch to it which is not something I'm used to but I'm going to be craving these cold noodles again soon, I can already tell.
