Everyone’s looking to save money and get the most bang for their buck. This series will show you where you can save while still savoring a good meal.

When Korean eatery Choi’s Garden featured a discounted $5.99 cold noodle special in August — available only from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. — the restaurant was packed during lunch time.

The restaurant recently announced via social media that, due to popular demand, it was bringing the discounted cold noodles back as a featured November special.

The discount is for dine-in only from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Since cold noodles usually cost $16.95 and spicy cold noodles are $17.95, this is a deal. The cold noodles, known for its light, refreshing broth, include cucumbers and half of a boiled egg.

Meanwhile, the spicy cold noodles — bibim naengmyeonfeatures noodles served with a spicy, Gochujang-based sauce. The dish comes with cucumbers, Korean radish and half a boiled egg.

Both cold noodle dishes come with the eatery’s featured banchan of the day. During our visit, we’re served fishcake, radish and fishcake, but we’re told the selection varies.

Limited customer parking is available in front of the restaurant.
