Old Time Noodle House
About This Spot
Stepping into Old Time Noodle House, you instantly feel the quiet hum of a place deeply rooted in tradition and daily ritual. It’s the kind of neighborhood spot where the rhythm slows just enough to savor something familiar yet thoughtfully crafted. The chairs are modest, the tables close enough that you sense the shared experience of those around you—a quiet conversation over steaming bowls and clinking soju glasses, a scent of garlic and fresh kimchi dancing through the air.
The pace here invites you to settle in without rush. There’s a comforting steadiness as friendly servers move attentively but without hurry, making each visit feel like returning to a favorite gathering place rather than chasing a meal. This is where locals come for hearty, authentic Korean flavors that spill generously into each dish, whether you choose a bowl of hand-cut noodles swimming in a richly layered broth or tender dumplings bursting with flavor.
The menu unfolds like a story told through texture and warmth: from the satisfying chew of fresh noodles to the vibrant heat of spicy stews that linger long after the last sip. Side dishes arrive in humble abundance, offering crisp, cool kimchi and pickled radish that brighten every bite. Dishes like marinated galbi or pork bone stew carry that slow-cooked depth that makes you think of family dinners and hands worn from preparation.
What truly distinguishes Old Time Noodle House is the approachable feeling of authenticity—it’s both familiar and deeply comforting. There’s an unspoken pride in the bowls filled with bold, honest flavors, the kind you come back for, time and again. It’s easy to imagine this place as a quiet anchor in a busy day, where the welcome is warm, the portions generous, and the food quietly speaks of care and tradition.

I tried their old time noodle soup last night, and will be coming back for more! Deep, flavorful broth with garlicky punch. The place was packed with locals, and they make their own kimchi! I bought the tub

This Authentic Korean Restaurant is a gem for anyone craving a true taste of Korea! The menu boasts an impressive variety of traditional Korean dishes, each bursting with bold, authentic flavors. Their Galbi BBQ (short ribs) is hands-down the best I've ever had—perfectly marinated, tender, and grilled to juicy perfection. The smoky, savory-sweet glaze is unforgettable! What sets this place apart is their incredible selection of banchan (side dishes), which elevate every meal. The pa kimchi (green onion kimchi) is a standout—crisp, tangy, and perfectly spiced, it’s one of the best I’ve tasted. The fact that you can purchase their banchan to take home is a huge bonus for recreating the experience at home. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Whether you're a Korean food enthusiast or a first-timer, this restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience. Highly recommend for the Galbi BBQ and pa kimchi alone—though everything else is just as delightful!

I ordered on the phone, one pork bone soup, small order pork fried dumplings, and one spicy beef noodle soup. I guess they heard me wrong so I got my spicy beef noodle soup replaced with the old time soup. I really just wanted to try the noodles so I wasn't tripping. The pork bone soup was so huge and had a really good flavor!! The dumplings were crispy and the filling was flavorful. My soup was like whatever but the noodles were bomb. I would go again to try the spicy beef noodle soup for sure.

Walk in and they will seat you right away. Portions are massive, so expect to share or take home leftovers. Kimchi and radish banchan are included with your order. The whole menu is good, freshly made and delicious. You can't go wrong.

Quite good! I had the Old Time Handmade Noodle Bowl..... noodles were tasty! The broth was good, but it could've been a little more layered with flavor. Great dumplings Also, accidentally had some Blood Sausage… Wasn't bad. Wasn't all that great… Or flavorful. But not bad… It had a good texture, surprisingly Service was excellent, and I really felt like I was taking care of even though they were busy I'd like to go back and explore more of the menu
