History of Yu-Chun Restaurant and L.A. Corner
Kitchen
LA Corner Kitchen was formerly known as Yu-Chun Restaurant - the ORIGINAL
Yu-Chun Restaurant from the early 2000's, not an imitator.
Under "confidential circumstances", the owner changed the name of the
restaurant in 2009 to LA Corner Kitchen. Despite the name change,
the food and recipes remained deliciously the same. Even more
dishes were added to the menu including chicken dishes and Korean tacos.
Yu-Chun Restaurant was known throughout Koreatown
since the early 2000's for its Mool Neng Myun (cold noodle) dish
(pictured below).
The secret recipe for the broth was brought down from the owner's mother, grandmother, and
great grandmothers from Korea.
To this date this recipe has not been duplicated, although there have
been many unsuccessful attempts from imitators. |
The "confidential circumstance" that caused the owner to change names in
the first place became more complex and eventually caused
the owner to close LA Corner Kitchen down. Today, you may see many
restaurants going by the name Yu-Chun, but there
is only
one that uses the same original recipe for the Mool Neng Myun (Korean
cold noodle dish) that gave Yu-Chun its name and reputation from the
early 2000's. It is run by the relative of the
original owner. It is located at 3185 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles,
90006.
