NOLA Korea is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Metairie with delicious noodles.
The big picture: Your meal starts with banchan, which are small dishes of kimchi and other prepared vegetables.
- I love the chewy texture of the glass noodles in the japchae and the beefy goodness in the bulgogi.
- The restaurant also serves jjajangmyeon, a black bean noodle dish I kept seeing on TikTok.
- I usually overorder, much to the server's bewilderment, so I'll have leftovers.
If you go: You may have to wait for a table, especially on chilly nights when folks are looking for a cozy place to dig into a heaping bowl of food.
