The Top 10 Chinese-Korean Restaurants in Koreatown LA
Chinese-Korean food is a fusion between ethnic Chinese and Korean food. The cuisine developed in the city of Incheon, as most ethnic Chinese population of Korea lived. Chinese restaurants in Korea started to pop up and were mostly owned by Koreans rather than Chinese due to the discrimination towards Chinese citizens due to political issues in the 19th century.
Chinese-Korean food is one of the top ordered delivery foods in Korea. Excitingly enough, there are a variety of dishes you can choose from but there are three main dishes that you will always see in every Korean-Chinese restaurant: jajangmyeon, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk.
What are the main three dishes of Chinese-Korean food?
Jajangmyeon is a noodle dish with a thick sauce of sweet back bean sauce, diced meat, and vegetables.
Jjamppong is a spicy, seafood noodle soup with vegetables, seafood or meat, and chili oil.
Tangsuyuk is a sweet and sour meat dish that can be made with pork or beef, and it is coated with corn, potato, or glutinous rice flour. The dish is served with a sweet-and-sour that you can either pour on top or dip the meat into.
