Soup is amazing and meat quality is very fresh! Service is good and place is very clean. I ate tofu Seolleng tang, very tasty!! read more

I came here the day after thanksgiving and tried out a few of their dishes, and was kinda blown away at how good the ribs were so I came back again this week. This place is absolutely amazing. I discovered it through the Yelp suggestions on random places to eat when you swipe restaurants and was so glad I picked this one. The spicy sullungtang is really good and you get the options of either having udon or purple rice. I picked udon and bought the sullungtang that came with a delicious and huge beef rib, along with soondae. It was great, but the star of the show was the next dish, which was an order of beef ribs. They were marinated in a galbi jjim sauce, which is similar to what you find at a place like Sun nong dang, but without the huge price tag. My order for the ribs were only $30, and while a kalbi jjim used to be $60 at Sun nong dan, now it's $95!!! Crazy!!! But these ribs were absolutely delicious and the sauce just gives it that touch where you just want to keep eating them. I am seriously considering coming back here once a week to get these ribs. I think they might even be more enjoyable to eat than Korean bbq. The panchan is really good and fresh too. This place is super spacious and is a small business that seems it could use more customers, and the service is really attentive and above par, so it's worth checking out. The only downside is they close at 9pm. Aside from that, this place has probably the best beef ribs you can get at a Korean establishment, so check it out! read more

8/30/2025 - Boiler in Korea Town was open in February 2025. The restaurant is clean with four comfortable booths as well as nine open tables. The foods we ordered are excellent - the beef bone broth is simmered for 3 days, which creates a creamy and bight color of white broth while the thin beef is tender. The short rib taste is so delicious with the just right sweetness, which beats the same dish at the special dining restaurant in one of the cruise ships we had tried. Yes, the price here is high in comparison to others in KTown. A small free parking lot is available in front of the restaurant. read more

I absolutely loved the kalbi ribs and the tteokgalbi! Super tasty and tender. A little pricey for the amount of food, but I was full after sharing these dishes with my friend so it worked out fine. Huge plus for the parking lot, which is almost unheard of in Koreatown. I'll be back for sure! read more

This place was SO good! The beef bone soup was very pure tasting and came with thinly sliced beef brisket that was surprisingly super tender despite being in a boiling hot soup. We ordered the tteokgalbi and galbi jjim sets with each came with a soup and rice. The galbi jjim was a non-spicy, soy version and it was AMAZING. Honestly the best I've ever had in Ktown. It was my first time trying tteokgalbi, which is like a Korean meat patty - super flavorful! I definitely recommend coming here for lunch before 2 PM for their lunch special pricing. Free parking. read more

Boiler in Koreatown is a really solid spot if you're craving a comforting, flavorful meal. The atmosphere is cozy and lively, perfect for both small groups and casual dinners. The broth was rich and well-balanced, and they offer a good selection of meats and banchan that all tasted fresh. The beef soup was good but can't compare to han bat , but they were generous for the meat , spicy one was better so flavorful, galbijjim was such a good price. Tender and so good Service was friendly and quick , the staff made sure our table was always taken care of. The portions were generous for the price, It can get a little busy during peak hours, so expect a short wait, but it's worth it once you're seated. Overall, a satisfying and good dining experience. I'd definitely come back again when I'm in K-Town and craving for soup and galbijjim read more

Great spot for some hearty soup! Came by for some lunch with the family and this place did not disappointment. Very spacious restaurant with a very relaxing ambiance and plenty of parking. Ordering is done at each table with self-ordering kiosks, where each order is made to order, so be expected to wait a but. We opted for their boiler beef ribs yukgaejang and tofu seolleongtang, which were all delicious. Perfectly seasoned soup paired along with their tender meat and rice certainly hit the spot. Will definitely come back for some more when I am in the area! read more

Pretty yummy! I got a seolleongtang and it was good. I took home my leftovers and the soup gelatinized in the fridge - that's how you know it's good! I also tried the tteokgalbi (I got the combo) and it was pretty disappointing. It was very sweet and tasted like a hamburger patty. Service here is fine. They have a doorbell system with a machine that you can order from. I don't really love the machine, I feel like it takes away from the restaurant experience but it's fine. Prices here are pretty expensive. There are gender specific restrooms. read more

Great food, very nice mom & pop shop. You can tell they really care about what they're serving. Ordered the seolleongtang, which came out piping hot. Clean but rich tasting. I would've preferred an option for glass noodles, but the wheat noodles were good. Kimchi and pickled radish were very yummy (asked for refills!). Service is pretty hands off, but when you call using the screen, they come very quickly. There was a lot of soup left over, which isn't my usual experience with this dish, but I enjoyed being able to take some home for a little late-night snack. The meat was thinly sliced brisket and was perfect: tender and flavorful. Wish there was more, but that's just me being greedy. Totally missed that the galbijjim is priced so well (I'm used to get place with the giant plates that cost about $100). read more

Came here for Seilleojgtsng and love their grill ribs too! The Dotteokgal was so tender and flavorful. We also ordered the cheese spicy pork rib too and we both like it. The place is really clean and a lot of parking space without valet. The service is also great and we enjoy dinning here. read more

I came at 5 pm and they had a lot of seating. They also have a pretty big parking lot, so it was easy to park. Overall, the restaurant is pretty new and clean. I got the seollungtang + galbi jjim combo. The galbi jjim comes with 2 pieces. It's very tender and sweet. I wish it came with some vegetables though. The seollungtang was good too. I like that it came with purple rice and that the noodles came in a separate bowl. The beef was very tender. I wish it came with a little more meat and noodles though. read more

Came for dinner on a weekend and there was no wait. I got the seoleongtang with beef ribs. It didn't come with noodles but it was really filling. They gave us a bowl of scallions and it was plenty to share. I also tried the galbi jjim, which was very tender and flavorful. I liked that the rice they gave us was purple rice. The banchans were kimchi, pickled onion, and radish kimchi. It would've been better if there were more banchan options. I liked that there is a parking lot with plenty of open spaces. The restroom and dining area were very clean. read more

LA best Korean beef soup, came here on a rainy day looking for something hot and soup, their beef soup hits you right away with the great sweet taste and you can customize to your preference.

Cozy, comforting Korean food that feels like a hidden gem in K-Town. Boiler is one of those spots you want to keep in your rotation -- not flashy, but really solid every time. The space is clean and welcoming, with enough booths and tables for casual lunches or easy dinners with friends and family. People often describe the atmosphere as relaxed and homey, perfect for a warm meal any day of the week. Particularly what I enjoyed: * Seolleongtang (Ox Bone Soup) This is the highlight for me! a rich, slow-simmered broth that's clean but deeply flavorful. The soup arrives piping hot with tender brisket slices and rice, not much needs to be said lol * Galbi Jjim & Spicy Grilled Ribs VERYYY flavorful short ribs and spicy grilled pork that hold up well with the hearty broth and sides. The meat is tender and well-seasoned, a great contrast to the mellow richness of the soup. * Comfortable, Simple Presentation This isn't a high-end, Instagram-perfect spot -- it's genuine Korean comfort food done right. The plating is straightforward and unpretentious, which fits the restaurant's clean, casual vibe perfectly. * Friendly Service & Laid-Back Vibe People appreciate the welcoming staff and the thoughtful touches that make a meal here relaxing rather than rushed. The space feels comfortable and not overly busy, making it a great pick for lunch or dinner without the fuss. We only had this one lady running the shop cause we came late. But she was SO nice and SOOO sweet! I wish we got her name but her kid was there. Overall: Boiler is a dependable choice for hearty Korean classics in Koreatown. The broth-based soups (especially the seolleongtang) are the standout for regulars, and the meat dishes add variety and richness. If you want warm, comforting, authentic Korean food in a cozy setting with friendly folks behind the counter this place fits perfectly on that list. read more

Popped in 45 minutes before closing on a chilly Wednesday night and ordered the beef rib sullungtang and galbijjim to share. Everything came out fast and piping hot. The owner took her time to explain that the bone broth was boiled for 3 days and sans MSG. I loved how clean the broth tasted. Added a few pinches of salt and it was perfect. The galbijjim was tender and flavorful. Quick and delicious meal! read more

Highly Recommend This New Hidden Gem in Koreatown! I heard about this new restaurant in Koreatown through word of mouth and decided to check it out--and I'm so glad I did! The interior was spotless, and the staff was incredibly kind and attentive. We ordered the seolleongtang (ox bone soup), suyuk (boiled beef slices), yukgaejang (spicy beef soup), and galbijjim (braised short ribs). Every dish had a clean, rich flavor without any MSG, which made the meal feel both hearty and wholesome. "The boiled beef and braised short ribs I had with makgeolli were absolutely delicious." One of the highlights was the pumpkin fritters that the owner graciously offered on the house. Coated in glutinous rice flour, the fritters stayed perfectly crispy all the way through--an unexpected delight! We also took some yukgaejang to go, and honestly, it might just be the best in town. I'm already planning to come back with my entire family for our next meal. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Visited this newly opened restaurant with great satisfaction. The portion is generous. Found the combo is beat for its value. The Beef rib jjim was so tender and flavorful, the meat falls off from the bone easily. We originally wanted to order the cheese spicy pork rib jjim, however they sold out rather quickly. The owner is kind enough to give us whatever was left on the house for us to try, the meat is again very soft, the sauce is perfect with rice. I don't usually like seolleongtang but I fell in love with this one, u can taste the soup has been cooked with lots of beef bones for 3 days, highly recommended. You can place order via the iPad, which is very convenient if u want to add order at anytime. Quite important in KTown - FREE PARKING!!! It's a hassle looking for parking in KTown esp. on weekend. Free parking definitely adds a big advantage Reservation can be made via Yelp read more

This spot turned out to be a nice find. I surprisingly had no trouble with parking when we arrived early Fri evening around 6. Everything I tried tasted very fresh and had a homemade taste. Their gopchang was excellent and highly recommended, especially if you're craving it without going to a gopchang spot and ordering a huge plate; it was less oily, the texture was chewy (rather than the typical crispy) but in a good way, and the garlic-flavored filling was delicious. The seullongtang was good too. I recommend. read more

Very clean. Simple presentation and ambiance is very comfortable. Had the single order galbi Jim and the ox knee soup which were both excellent. I like the fact that they have smaller portion galbi unlike other places where you have to have 3 or 4 people just to order. Ordering via table side tablet was new but actually helpful. Note, the tablet is just for ordering and you pay normally through the server. read more

I had my lunch yesterday at this restaurant. The restaurant looks brand new. All furniture, utensils, dishes, etc. were very clean and new. The design is nice. The food was amazing, tasted nice and fresh. The lady who served us was very nice and very welcoming. The menu is digital on a tablet, mounted on each table. The only thing that O can mention is the price. The food is a little pricier than other places. However, I'm gonna give 5 star still since the server attitude and service was excellent. read more

The Beef Ribs Seolleongtang at Boiler was rich and comforting. The broth was milky, deep, and full of flavor without being too heavy, and the beef ribs were tender and satisfying. Season it to your taste and pair it with rice and kimchi perfect for a cozy, soul-warming meal. Definitely a great choice if you're craving classic Korean comfort food. read more

Food was really good! The seolleontang was hearty, the kind of soup that makes you happily sigh after just a sip. I was worried that the medium-sized galbi jjim would be small with just five pieces, but they gave us big chunks of tender meat that were delicious with their banchan and purple rice. Service was very good and attentive, and the space itself is clearly very clean and modern. It was pretty quiet when we went but it looked like the entire plaza may have been recently built. A decently large parking lot is right there which is a huge plus in LA. read more

Food is very good. We ordered both Seolleongtang Mix combos (one with SoTeokGalBi, the other with Soso galbijim) and we also tried the Cheese Spicy Pork Rib Jim and Bouller Beef Ribs Yukgaejang. They were out of the Cheese Spicy Pork Rib Jjim, so we changed our order to the Spicy Grilled Pork Jjim. The Seolleongtang was so full of beef flavor. Just a tiny amount of salt will help bring out the full flavor. The noodles on the side adds a nice touch. The Spicy Grilled Pork was saucy and a bit spicy, but it has a great balance of savory, sweet and spicy. The owners were very kind and brought out a few of the Cheese Spicy Pork Rib Jjim that they have left over. We are so glad to have a taste of those ribs as they were full of umami. The owners are super friendly and you can tell that they put their hearts into each dish and providing excellent service. Our group would definitely come back soon!

We came for Mr. Bossam (closed for renovations) but discovered something even more amazing, Boiler! It seems to be a husband and wife team running the restaurant, so always happy to support local businesses. Portions are hearty with enough for leftovers. The food was so delicious and really hit the spot. Authentic Korean food, we ordered the yukdaejang and sullungtang with a side order of the galbijim. You can tell a lot of time and effort went into creating the broth for the sullungtang - the broth was a milky white and smelled like a rich bone broth. Along with our soups, they served a bowl of purple rice and banchan of Kimchi, Kimchi radish, and pickled onions. We were lucky to find parking in the plaza on a Friday night, but we did dine at 6pm. Definitely a favorite spot now and what a delightful surprise. read more
