    We found this place while we were driving by and decided to give it a shot. The chicken bowl that we ordered was extremely fresh and the chicken was very tender and delicious. Make sure to ask for the dipping sauces as they have a few variations that definitely take the bowl to the next level. I would definitely recommend this place. It's a great place to stop by for lunch and they also have a milk, tea and Boba spot in the same location. I've been here twice already, and the staff has always been super helpful and super generous.

    Spicy Chicken Bowl Angle

    This time, I tried the Spicy Chicken Bowl. I've ordered from here multiple times in the past. But those orders have always been the chicken wings, which are great. The chicken in the bowl was juicy, flavorful, and the spice level was just perfect. Had a nice burn, but not a lingering burn. Rice was great, held everything together nicely. You would think rice would be easy, but too many places mess it up. But, now onto the bad parts. The pickles didn't really mesh well with the rest of the dish for me. They felt out of place with this order. The coleslaw was warm (as it always seems to be here), which kind of throws off the flavor for me since I like my coleslaw cold. The pasta noodles were just okay. Nothing wrong with them, but nothing particularly special either. But even with those setbacks, for the price $13.75 for the bowl, you get plenty of pretty good food. I still recommend this place.

    Food was great, super crunchy chicken wings and the service was super fast. Place was small but great vibes for a quick bite.

    I ordered many different kinds of food, and the chicken was great, and the spicy pork and pasta were so delicious. Make sure to try it in downtown

    Boba drinks

    Am here this time to rate their matcha which they added to the menu. The strawberry matcha sells out quickly it seems but its really good. The brown sugar boba is great too! The service was quick and friendly.

    SO GOOD. Fast service, friendly staff, tasty food. The homemade potato chips are really good. Recommend to try it if you're in the area!

    Absolutely amazing food 10/10 recommend.! I ordered the chicken sandwich it was really amazing I still taste the food. I would recommend people to try it. It's very good and has a little spice so good!. The workers are very friendly.the food is well done very good 10/10 .

    Creamy Kimchi Fries

    Overall: 3.3/5 (Postmates delivery) We ordered on Postmates and the food came in about 35 minutes. Everything was packaged nicely in its own box. Unfortunately after our meal, we felt unsatisfied. Sadly, the food looks better than it tasted. Better Spicy Chicken Sandwich ($11.75): The chicken in this sandwich was the best of the three. The fried chicken piece was big, had a good amount of meat, and was crispy. The flavor could have been better and wasn't consistent. It's not your typical gochujang flavor too and has more of the chili powder taste. 24 Oz Boneless Fried Chicken Cup - Sweet & Soy ($13.50): The sweet & soy tasted weird; I didn't like it. The boneless fried chicken were very small in dimensions and barely had any meat on them - kinda like popcorn chicken. Not worth it & wouldn't get again. 1/2 Pound Soy Garlic Wings ($8.95): This has the best flavor of the three. It came with 2 wings and 2 drumsticks which were pretty small. Half the potato chip fries were undercooked. The onion rings weren't bad. The shoestring fries were soggy and not crispy at all. Creamy Kimchi Fries ($5): These were thicker fries than the ones provided with the chicken sandwich and wings. These fries were also soggy and not crispy but tasted a little better. The creamy kimchi on top is really good though. I do wish they gave more of the kimchi.

    Chicken Spicy Fired Fried Rice Bowl (garlic sauce not in picture)

    Walked more than a mile to try it out. Not bad and not spicy (I don't usually eat spicy spicy food). Fried rice had chicken/other meat too so it's not only the lonely chicken on top. Garlic "buttery" sauce initially was great then kinda became saucy for me. The pasta salad was good too but too much saucy for me (not a fan of too much sauce / and mayonnaise like taste). Definitely worth the walk. Iced tea without boba should be cheaper (not a fan of boba).

Both were very good and tasty especially since it was a very hot day. It was too much food for two people so we took it home. As for side dishes, personally I'm not a fan of pickled things so if you love it then it would be great for you. Service: We were able to take our order while waiting in line so once we actually got seated it felt like it didn't take long to actually eat the food. They were quick and accommodating to requests made. Ambiance: It was nice with music playing while eating. Comfortable dining experience.

We've also tried: * army stew (4.5/5) * chicken kalguksu (4/5) * clam kalguksu (5/5) * bibim milmyon (5/5) * milmyon cold noodle (4/5) Everything has been good. The kalguksu portions are especially big, and their side dishes are always great. The restaurant is clean, service is fast, and I love the free rice they give you at the beginning with soybean paste on top. Definitely one of my favorite Korean spots in LA.

The scallop pancake has such an amazing crunch, and paired so well with the slightly sweet and rich mentaiko sauce. My favorite bite was hands down the uni bibimbap. It was so rich and decadent and the sweet shrimp mixed with the creamy uni was an absolute textural dream. I'm devastated it took me this long to try Danbi. I am very pleasantly surprised. It was a cute and vibey restaurant, but be prepared to pay for valet.

    Nice spot if you're looking for Korean food with a modern twist. The interior is modern, sleek, and…read morethoughtfully designed, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The food here is definitely more creative than your standard Korean restaurant. A lot of familiar Korean flavors and dishes are presented in a more modern, elevated way. Scallop Pancake -- 7.5/10 Think scallion pancake, but with scallops. I really enjoyed this, especially because they don't skimp on the scallops. My only complaint is that the batter is a little too thick, and combined with how oily it is, the dish gets filling pretty quickly. This is definitely something I'd recommend ordering with a larger group so everyone can have a couple pieces rather than trying to tackle the whole thing. The dipping sauce is chef's kiss. Uni Bibimbap -- 9/10 My favourite dish of the night. All the different ingredients work together incredibly well. Every bite is balanced and flavourful, and honestly, I could probably eat an entire bowl of this myself. Beef Tartare -- 7.5/10 I love beef tartare, and this was no exception. My main complaint is that I found it a little lacking in flavuor compared to some of the tartares and yukhoe I've had at other Korean restaurants. The bone marrow is a cool addition, although I think it contributes more to the presentation and interactive aspect than the actual flavour of the dish. If you don't eat the tartare relatively quickly, the bone marrow starts to solidify and you end up with little pieces of hardened fat, which I found a bit unappealing. Honey Butter Chips -- 5/10 Not bad, but personally I wouldn't order these again. The honey butter sauce started becoming a little too rich and sickening for me after a few chips.

If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.

Even when we ordered the food, the server said "that's it?" as if she was offended that we didn't order more food (lower sales?) I'm not sure if we misunderstood her attitude but that's kind of how it felt like. The quality and size went down and it was just... not good. This used to be my #1 spot for cold noodles but our other fav place was closed today so we decided to come here. As you can see, the size of the cold noodles became smaller. Everything was packed in this small bowl which made it harder to eat. I think they changed the noodles they use because it wasn't doing anything texture wise. It used to be chewy and had a good buckwheat flavor. The broth tasted.. like water with a splash of bone broth. The quality of galbi was also a disappointing as I feel like it's became less and the meat was burnt with more fat/chewy bits. The leek pancake was ok but again, comparing it to my picture from January, it was bigger in size and more dough-y. Service was decent previously but it felt a bit cold today. Again, super bummed because we still love this place but I probably won't be ordering their combo again. You can see in my pictures how often we used to order the cold noodles from here and you can compare the quality.
