    4c. Fresh Vegetable Bibimbap with Beef
    Stephanie H.

    Here are all the dishes I described and the view of the dining room facing the counter

    Eugene A.

    Today is my first time eating lunch at this food court inside City Center on 6th. As of May 2023, there are only 3 options inside this spacious food court including Corea BBQ. I decided to get a Chicken Bulgogi Doshirak lunch special for $12.95 plus tax (approximately $14) and ate it at the food court. They provide a buzzer with your order number and it will buzz once it's ready. I only waited for approximately 5-7 minutes despite the busyness during lunch. When I came forward to pick up my order, I was not expecting a full course on the doshirak. It had a mountain of chicken bulgogi pieces (marinated chicken bulgogi thigh meat), 4 banchan (sides) and a cup of purple rice with a fried egg. It also included a savory broth with bean sprouts and a pack of seaweed. The chicken was savory and tender but it the sauce was lacking in terms of quantity. I kinda wish the chicken had more sauce but it still had an umami flavor along with the sauteed green onions and carrots. However, I really enjoyed the fluffy purple rice paired with a sunny side up egg. Lastly, please be sure to put away your trays and plates and place them on the designated racks found on the sides instead of leaving them on your table. Corea BBQ is a decent place to get some quick Korean food and I'll be back again to try other items here.

    Super yummy food and quick service. The price was super worth it for the amount you get. Each portion comes with some sides and a soup. The food court has lots of seating and has AC. Such a delicious meal before our show at the Wiltern!

    21. Spicy Beef Soup
    Hossein E.

    Decent food. It's inside of a shopping mall and is served cafeteria style. I ordered the spicy beef noodle soup and it was pretty good. If this review was based solely on value for your money I would probably give this place a four stars. You get a very large portion of soup as well as a side of rice and some Banchan sides. I also saw someone order the Bibimbap which also looked good. I'll probably give that a try next time I am here. Basically this place is above average food but large portions for the price. Great option for a quick and filling lunch.

    2022-05 update. Ok, so the prices are up everywhere. Foods are expensive and are getting smaller. That said, this place serves decent Korean meals for reasonable prices. I come to Equitable building next door, so I used to eat in different restaurants in this food court. This place always had above average food for the price. I mean, this type of place is similar to McDonalds for Korean meals. If you haven't try this place in a while, give it a try once more. I was pleasantly surprised when I had 3 items to go. Yook Gae Jang, Kimchi rice, & Omelet rice.

    7. Rice Topped with Raw Fish and Vegetables
    Reagan H.

    I have been coming here for years for their delicious and balanced meals! My favorite item to get has always been Rice Topped with Raw Fish and Vegetables. They honestly have the best deal for the quality and portion sizes! The lady working in the kitchen is super sweet and always brings a smile to my face whenever we chat! Highly recommend this place for a quick delicious nutritious meal :)

    Hector J.

    This place was very good! I got the Bulgogi beef plate and the Spicy Beef Soup to share with my wife. It was delicious and the sides were great. The owners were very nice and respectful and the food came out pretty fast. Seating here is great too since there is plenty of tables available. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I will be coming back!

    Surprisingly, ok. In these food courts, I feel it's typically quantity and not quality. Definitely the case with Corea BBQ. I had the omelette fried rice. There were a number of other eatery, but it seems like Corea had the better Yelp reviews than other establishments. My coworker had the sashimi salad and she really liked that. The portion was huge, but not tasty. I struggled to finish it. The large egg omelette covers this ketchup fried rice with peas and carrots. The first bite was alright, but as you eat, it's like this mission to finish, not because it taste good, but because it gave you purpose. I would definitely prefer white rice over the ketchup rice. Or half white and half ketchup? To compensate, maybe some tonkatsu sauce would be what it was missing. I just tasted the tart from the ketchup and I was kinda grossed out half way in. I had the same dish as my coworker and she thought it was normal and what omelette fried rice should be. After a little pondering, totally needs pork sung and some soy sauce. Parking is good and there's 2 hour validation. I was debating between 3-4 stars, but thinking about the ketchup rice gives me shivers. Maybe next time I'll try something more suited for me. :)

    Empty food court

    We were sitting inside the food court with our hmart lunch and the owner of corea bbq told us to sit outside when there were no one inside except for maybe two occupied tables. There were maybe 50 unoccupied tables inside and the owner insisted we leave and sit outside. I'd get it if it were full inside where paying customers needed a table to sit but mannnn there were almost ZERO PATRONS. You just lost a possible customer.

    good but PASS on that salty miso!
    Jeenee Y.

    Ehh~ its just OK. Can't really expect a feast from these food court like restaurants but dang.. first off the cashier lady was just in a moody mood (goodness).. not planning on coming back to see you! Egg rice (in stone bowl) is pretty good but goodness that miso soup is a big NO NO! (waay to salty) Pork cutlet: decent but the sauce is salty. For all the side dishes... OMGoodness ummmm it tastes as if they really didn't put any consideration to it. Every single side dishes are bland and nasty. Pass.

    Sean B.

    Quite a good little food court option. In the Zion Food Court you have a bunch of places to choose from, I'd put this in the top two for sure.

    $15 including tax. This is the 29D combo. Fish was good.
    Henrique R.

    3 stars seems fair. Food is good, fairly priced. Nothing authentic in terms of Korean food. This is food court food pretty much. My mom liked it.

    Hot stone 4c. Fresh Vegetable Bibimbap with Beef
    Charlene D.

    My favorite place for Hot Stone Bibimbap. I been to many places and this place is the best . They are a small restaurant store front inside the Hmart Plaza food court . A real hidden Gem ! Delicious, fresh and nice portion. I highly recommend if you want an official Hot Stone . I love that that the staff know me here and what I get . I feel like a regular . You can tell the woman in the back takes pride in her cooking and I love it ! I hit the restaurant and then I hit the Crystal Spa upstairs . It's a great afternoon!

Got their signature Yuzu Shio which was about $10 (normally $19.50!!), as well as their Afuri Roll which the server recommended ($23). The ramen rather had a small portion, but was balanced and pretty good - and the broth was definitely on the lighter tasting side, good for people who wants a cleaner taste. I ended up using chili oil on the side to spice things up. The Afuri Roll wasn't anything special, and a bit on the dry side but it had a nice variety of different fish inside. Overall, considering all the other competitive ramen joints in the area that have a more competitive price/portion/variety, I'm not sure if I'd give this place another go given the price. Great vibes though!

The whole dish is consistent, creamy with a slight kick from the mentai, slices of mushrooms and shredded seaweeds on the top.

That said, with most dishes priced at over $20, I think there are stronger options nearby in Little Tokyo For a similar price, you can get a much more flavorful bowl of ramen that's also more filling. Portions here aren't particularly large, so while it's a fun place to sample something different, it may not be the best value if you're looking for a satisfying dinner
