Truely the best of authentic Korean comfort food restaurant I have been to in western hemisphere in the US. I am a restaurant owner myself, and I can tell they really pay attention to their food preparation. Therefore, the dishes they put out taste good. They have really big menu, so be ready ;)When most people think KBBQ is the thing nowadays, this is the real Korean foodSide dishes were good, too. Owners were super friendly and very inviting. We will definitely be back next time in LA.

It USE to be great! We went back 3 times after covid. All 3 times, food taste was NOT consistent. Food was really sweet. Service (especially when the young male works) is pretty much nonexistent. Try to wave him down for napkins or water (which he didn't give us). We were 1 of 3 tables there. Perhaps it was his GF, but there was 1 lady sitting by herself in the middle of the restaurant with no food or drinks. He kept talking to her. But didn't care about the paying customers.

Great lunch deal for under 15!! I can’t believe this deal exists in KTown LA. The portion is huge (especially the sides). Rice is very tender and smell good. Bulgogi is my favorite meat option. Very delicious!!Parking is available in a small lot. There was a person looking after the space so I got a spot despite being lunch time.The only thing I felt was off was the smell when I entered the restuarant. Maybe it’s the korean seasoning smell but it’s not a pleasant smell to me.

Ambiance felt like a movie. Went on a Wednesday night past 10pm, there were oldies from 90s and 2000s playing and people singing along.Definitely more of a spot for locals. Food was great.

ATTENZIONE!!! HAPPY HOUR 5-8pm DAILY!! For soju, BOGO 1 cent!! Best deal in ktown. I suggest coming here to pregame the pregame. The grilled butter squid and grilled mackerel is a great combo with the soju. Our server literally put the grilled in grilled squid with her blow torch. Park in the lot or street.
