Amazing! The place is popping and there is always such a long wait because the food is delicious. If you have two people in your party, you may be waiting for about an hour. There were six of us and they told us there was an hour wait, however, they called us in less than 15 minutes! Plates are small and shareable, so make sure you order enough items. I loved their fried and their steamed dumplings. Their rice balls were also delicious. Don't forget to order some grilled pineapple for dessert! This place is certainly your first stop for a night out in Korea town. It's a hole in the wall restaurant, but once you try their food and some soju... like lots of soju, you'll be ready to party! Will definitely be coming back for food, soju, and great vibes! Their walls have lots of scribbling and stickers; I might bring some cute stickers next time to place on their walls. read more

This place came highly recommended across local forums so I decided to stop in. I don't believe they take reservations. I waited for nearly two hours for a table for 1, while larger groups were seated much sooner. The restaurant feels extremely authentic and chaotic. Service seemed a bit all over the place and not very friendly. They do not take Capital One/Discover The food itself was good. Was it worth the wait? I don't believe so. I had the corn cheese, spicy pork bulgolgi, and spicy tuna hand roll. Bulgolgi was the most flavorful item. Overall, interesting experience from start to finish. read more

Dan Sung Sa - Corn cheese - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was nervous about getting crappy service but happy to report we had great service on a Friday evening ! Servers were attentive, quick and returned often to check on us. Ambience is alright, felt like your small izakaya vibe kinda cramped kinda hot and smoky. Wait for a table of 3 took about 30 mins on a Friday at 6/7. It got busy real fast and by the time we finished around 9 the wait was probably closer to 2 hours. Loads of people but I get the type - amazing food for 2015 prices. I still couldn't believe my eyes! Korean bar restaurants / Pochas are so appealing bc vibes are casual food is good and plenty of alcohol to go around but why do Korean bars charge so much for food !? I never could validate the price to value for Korean bar food, but this place honestly does exactly that. The skewers could use a lil salt and pepper IMO, but very good quality and delicious char. Would definitely be back and hungry! read more

Got a bunch of skewers and some hand rolls and this place was such a cool dinner experience. The dark, moody interior with the smoky smell reminded me of a late night Asian market, which made the whole place feel really unique. You do have to buy a beer or some type of alcohol to order the skewers and it actually paired really well with the food. The skewers were all really good and my favorite was easily the scallop skewer. The tuna and eel hand rolls were also absolutely bussin and probably my other highlights. The service was solid and the whole place had a really fun late night vibe. Definitely a unique spot for dinner. read more

7.12.26 - We arrived here around 11:30pm on a Sunday night and it was busy!! Many people who were at the festival came straight here, still in their festival outfits. We opted to go back and change before going out to eat. My feet were in pain lol. We waited about 20mins for a table for 3 and finally got seated. The place has a dark and grungy feel with graffiti and stickers literally everywhere. In the center is an open kitchen with bar seats around it. All along the walls were more tables separated by a wooden wall. The menu consists of only about 100 items, 1/4 of which we couldn't order. We were told that we could only order the skewers if we ordered an alcoholic drink, which I thought was lame. Out of the remaining items, there were only 18-20 that I would eat. No one came around to take our order so we had to just ask a random waiter. Order for the table: Fried dumplings $9.99 Corn Cheese $11.99 Potato pancake $8.99 House Lunch Box $6.99 Spicy Fried Chicken Wings $19.99 Kimchi Stew $14.99 Can't really go wrong with fried dumplings or corn cheese. Some spicy sauce on the corn cheese would've made it better! Never had a Korean potato pancake dish before but if you like hash browns, or any kind of potatoes, you'll like this. The didn't have kimchi fried rice but the waiter said the House Lunch Box would be the closest to it. That was delicious! The spicy fried wings had really good flavor. We didn't know that dish was going to be such a big portion. Think it had about 10 big pieces plus a salad. They almost forgot the kimchi stew until we mentioned we haven't received it yet. Kimchi stew a perfect addition to finish our meal. read more

Dan Sung Sa is dark and smoky. It is filled with little alcoves along the walls. The grill is at the center with half a dozen cooks rapidly turning the skewers of meat. Is it the spot to start or end the night in KTown? Ddukbokki with Ramen: This massive plate will put you in a food coma. On a giant leaf of lettuce, squiggly elastic ramen noodles stretch to the edges of the plate. The rolled rice cakes are thick and as chewy as bubble gum. Triangles of thin fish cakes offers bit of protein in a sea of carbs and sweet red gochugang-based sauce. For veggies, you get onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and carrots. If you're still hungry, there's a hard boiled egg. Dumbbells: Vermicelli noodles are tightly wrapped in seaweed with bulbous battered ends. The dumbbell-shaped treats are crispy and chewy at the same time. To take advantage of the great deal on skewers, you need to purchase an alcoholic beverage, which is a smart idea for washing down all this delicious savory food. When you've had enough, pay at the counter in your way out. Parking: The tiny strip mall location has valet. If you're lucky, you might find street parking not too far away. read more

Easily one of my favorite pochas in ktown. Everything is made so so fresh, amazing service, and the food is delicious. The only downside is the wait, but there's plenty of things to do to kill time in the area like the photobooth next door! The wait is definitely worth it. I always bring everyone here when they're visiting from out of town, since it's always so consistently great every time! read more

Dan Sung Sa is a hidden gem located in Koreatown! It's a well-known divey bar with a fun, lively atmosphere that keeps locals coming back. The service is quick and friendly, making it a great spot to kick back and relax. The food is hella good, authentic Korean comfort food that hits the spot every time. The drinks are also reasonably priced, so you can enjoy a few without breaking the bank. The fried chicken was flavorful, but next time I'll ask for the sauce on the side to dip. The skewers are my favorite, they're perfectly grilled and full of flavor. The Korean pancake was hot and crispy, just how I like it, and it's always a satisfying snack. Overall, Dan Sung Sa is a must-visit if you're craving good Korean bar food in a laid-back setting. It's the kind of place that feels like a local secret. Come early or hella late to avoid the crowds! read more

This Korean pocha will always be my fave spot when I visit LA after an event or date. From their fish cake soup, lunch box, snapper sashimi, bossam and of course can't forget the skewers. All yummy and can't beat the price. Then pairing it with the yogurt soju is chefs kiss. read more

I love this place! I know it can get super busy on the weekends, but both times I've still been sat at a reasonable time. The workers are so incredibly nice! The service is great! The food is so delicious and for a reasonable price. Specifically, the skewers after you get a drink. I always eat the pork belly skewers and the beef short rib. The best part about it is that they leave the stick out of it, so it just comes as a plate of meat. My favorite is the Korean Tteokbokki with Ramen noodles. It is so well seasoned, and it is a guilty pleasure of mine. It also has many pieces of kimchi. The corn cheese is yummy and great as a side of anything that you get there. They also give you a free cabbage soup to start that is so flavorful in itself! I also love the ambience as well as the decorations and set up of the restaurant read more

Such a fun experience and probably one of the coolest restaurants in LA that I've been to. It was super moody and dark inside which I loved. The center of the restaurant is a giant charcoal grill and there are seats around it and you can watch the chefs which was exciting. One con is that you must be drinking to order the skewers which are definitely the highlight of the menu. Luckily I was with a friend who drinks but I personally don't so thats a bit frustrating as a policy. The sekwers were amazing especially the short rib and shockingly the mushroom and pineapple. I could've ate so many of them. The free soup is also so yummy. I didnt expect to have any since it was so hot outside but I kept going back to it. Service can be a bit slow since it can get really busy but it's understandable. Loved the atmosphere and food definitely matched. Will be back especially if I'm with a group celebrating. read more

I have no huge complaints but I also don't totally understand the hype. The food is typical pocha (korean pub) food, not the best quality. We came on a Saturday night and it was packed, parking lot full of people waiting. We waited about 50 minutes to be sat for a party of 2. Staff was very very friendly and the vibes inside are cool (kinda dark). But the skewers took an hour to come out. If you're just looking to have a couple beers and some small bites, it's a cool spot but I'm not sure it's worth the wait. read more

Loved this place!! Parking was hard we needed up paying 15 dollars in a lot nearby since we didn't want to keep looking for parking. The vibe in there is amazing! it's so fun to feel like your in a whole different city or place as soon as you walk in. I did think it was going to be cheaper than it turned out to be butttt I would still go back. The highlights were the short rib and the tender beef skewer. I would go back and try more things than just the skewers but it was super flavorful and not overly sweet. The service was good too I would say the staff was nice but not overly friendly which is ok. It was fun sitting at the bar the lighting is nice and dark and it gets smokey and cool inside with the chefs cooking the skewers in the center. I would love to go back!! read more

Nice affordable pocha spot to hang out with friends! Came around 12:30am with friends and got a table for four immediately. Seating was a little cramped but not a big deal! We got the yogurt soju and a bunch of skewers for the table! Everything we tried was yummy! Would definitely come back if I was in the area. read more

Such a fun spot with an amazing vibe! It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall kind of place, which made it feel even more special. The dim lighting added so much to the overall experience and created a cozy atmosphere. Service was quick and attentive, and every dish came out packed with flavor. My favorites were the asparagus bacon, pork rib, and mushroom skewers--each one was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the deokbokki, and wow... it was SO good! Every bite was flavorful and satisfying. Can't wait to come back and try even more from the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 My friend invite me here to have a dinner and drink. I passed by here a lot of time in the past and always saw a line. Now I get my chance to try it out. My friends ordered a lot of food. I mean a lot. We also had a few pitchers of beer and soju. The food are ok for me. Some of them are pretty pricey for my opinion. I would have to come back here again and order moderately to see what the true cost but for now they are solid 4. read more

Probably one of my top 3 restaurants in US ever. when u walk in it's dark and cramped. Barely any space to walk. The seating surrounds a grill and there are tables on the outside for larger parties. I really recommend sitting on the counter. Cool to see the grill. They are quick with the service and everything is easy to order on a piece of paper. To order the $1.99 skewers you must buy alcohol. It is soooo worth it though. 2 people ate till we were stuffed for about $60 after tax and tip. Crazy deal. U MUST GET THE GRILLED STEAMED EGG. I'm addicted and obsessed. Another thing, BOSSAM IS LIKE $15!?!? I'm this economy is crazy. It's soooo good too. One of the best I've had. Comes with some soup and veggie sticks. If you want to order more u just tell the waiters what you want. Surprisingly didn't come out smelling like smoke. Must be some top notch ventilation over the grill. 10/10 must try for food and ambiance. Unlike anything I've ever had in the states. read more

We had their spicy chicken wings, cheese omelette, cheesy corn, barbecue chicken, potato and kimchi pancake, pork skewer, spicy and non spicy chicken skewers, nut skewer, shrimp skewer. We liked the pancakes and the chicken wings the best. The place didn't disappoint. The ambience was cool and fun. read more

I was reading some of the reviews and a lot of them complained about the service, but I actually had a pretty good experience here. The servers were pretty friendly and willing to help. They are really busy so they might be a bit rushed but they weren't super rude or anything. I came on a saturday night around 8pm and a table for 2 was a 40 minute wait. I liked the vibes, and sitting at the bar station was nice being able to see the skewers being grilled. We got the ddukbokki, stir fried kimchi pork belly with tofu, chicken skewers, frog leg skewers, grilled egg skewers, and hot sake. Food was pretty good, it's what you'd expect from a pocha. My favorite was the stir fried kimchi and pork belly and tofu. It was a lot of food for 2 people, and I wish I could've tried some of the other skewers! It would be easier to do that with a bigger group & try a bigger variety of dishes read more

Absolutely DELICIOUS! Wow, I give this place a 9/10. We got here right at the opening, so all the food was extremely hot and fresh. The seating was really cool! The decor transports you to Korea immediately! We went with a booth, and engraved our names in the wall :) To eat, we got the corn cheese, kimchi pork belly, grilled pork belly, chicken feet, bbq pork ribs, shrimp skewer, stuffed shrimp and cream cheese wonton, and the cabbage soup. Just WOW! It was all so delicious! We also shared a grape suja! The service was also amazing, and we were attended to constantly without ever feeling rushed. My only take back is the price. I think for what we ate, it could've been a tad bit less. $105 was our total before tip, but a few of the dishes were very tiny. I'll likely be returning soon :) great place I'm glad to have been introduced to! read more

All of these had good flavor and decently priced for the amount of food you can get. My favorite was the Kimchi Pancake.

Dan Sung Na is a late night Korean restaurant in the Koreatown area of Los Angeles. They serve mainly skewers but also offer a variety of small plates. It's located in a very small plaza with valet parking and street parking nearby. We went on a Saturday night and it was really busy but we were able to get seated quickly (make sure your entire party is present). The restaurant has a dim interior and a lot of graffiti on the walls. In the middle is their open kitchen filled with smoke where they cook the skewers and it's surrounded by tables and counter space. We started off with complimentary soup which was warm and refreshing. We ordered a variety of their skewers and their corn cheese. Of the skewers my favorites were the beef short rib, pork belly, and grilled steam egg. The corn cheese was delicious and was a crowd favorite. It was salty, sweet, and cheesy especially near the end when the cheese got crispy. We liked some of the skewers but most of them were just okay. I'd highly recommend getting the corn cheese. read more

This location is notorious for having a line outside its doors and now I understand why. If you arrive later, it seems you'll be part of the parking lot crowd, but on a Sunday evening around 6:30 I was able to get right in immediately and sit down to some of the best kimchi pancake I've ever had. While I ordered nearly every skewer and had to have a childhood favorite, tteokbokki, I was surprised to try such a tasty soup served before the real meal began. This whole establishment is a vibe! The lighting and seating are perfect for a photo op or two, and when they say the spicy chicken is spicy, they mean it. I can see why it's worth the wait to dine in one of K Town's best eateries. Whether you have something to celebrate or not, I guarantee on a day when I need my favorite comfort food, I'll be right back to my kimchi pancake, tteokbokki and soup. While you're there, be sure to help the wait staff save table space with their many small plates by stacking them neatly. You'd be surprised what appetites speedy service rewards, and I think everyone deserves to eat here at least once in their K Town adventures. read more

I don't really understand this place, it's got a huge crowd, we came here around 5 o'clock, and we already have to wait We ordered the skewer, the pancake the soup , we got a good variety of it, they don't taste good or bad just food, the skewers are not really skewer, more like small plates. The food is cheap though... Im guessing people like the ambience , but honestly, it's super packed, the seats are really small, we had to constantly move the food on the desk because it has no space, if that's the vibe you're looking for then maybe this is for you. Like you have to keep yelling to talk. I don't like or dislike this place. It's just not somewhere I can relax and eat lol read more

Dan Sung Sa is your go to place for some late night munchies. But keep in mind, you will most likely be put on a waitlist, depending on the time you go. I'll refrain from adding anymore photos since there are so many available. Here is everything we tried along with the menu #: 2. chicken skewer, 6. Mushroom skewer, 21. Beef short rib skewer, 31. Yellow peach on ice, 42. Fried dumplings, 49. Corn cheese, 77. Ddukbokki with ramen noodles, 2. spicy tuna roll. We also tried the yogurt soju. Everything was yummy and we left satisfied. I see people commenting on the employees' attitudes. I had no issues with anyone. Everyone did their job and that's all I can ask for when coming to eat here at midnight. Will be returning. Can't comment on parking since I didn't there. read more

Yes, the food is good--but is it worth the wait? Absolutely not. You can find similar food anywhere in K-town. The inside is very cramped and doesn't feel the cleanest.

For gormandizers, visiting a place like Dan Sung Sa (an place that saturates IG reels) should be more than a hit or miss experience. It should be an experience that allows us to visit and contemplate the sum of our eating journey to understand exactly happened within this range. I am so happy to reflect upon my experience to this place because it was nothing short of impactful, immersive, and fresh. And for a dinosaur in the foodie-scape this is nothing short but a vacation to a new field where I frolicked. My friend Conrad and I had attempted to go here but the wait was an effective deterrent. Truth be told, we did not ask for the wait time the crowds outside were enough of an omen. But a few days ago, on Easter night, he and I decided to tackle the place around 10:00 p.m. and the wait for two was less than 15 minutes. We entered and we were seated in the corner of the counter that faced closest to the door. I genuinely felt like I was in a Korean Alley sitting down as I saw street vendors cook bites of wonder, with street notes and street sensibilities. The steam rising was a sort of mist that help transport me to a far land away. But being there was kind of weird cause I was in a corner and the chill of the entrance door bugged me. I asked for a possible change to our server and she spoke to the host and then he approached me and said "You have to wait outside." He said it, while using his thumb to make the motion of kicking me out. Other Yelpers have noted that this place has rude staff. I concur. The guy had no grace and he did not even say we cannot move you here are your options. But I remained composed as I want to be more patient and simply explained that we could stay in our current seating. I continued to express myself in the tone that I wanted to receive and Jean our server eventually followed the melody that the mute can hear--- that okf kindness. I will now transition to the food which was both a treat and engaging to eat. Like I said before, I was transformed to the alleys of Seoul here and I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone and try something that I felt was traditional but not for me. In that way I could say I ate the flavors of Asian culture when they were not drenched in orange peel. I tasted the chicken feet and almost immediately regret it. There was almost no meat in the bite, there was only ungrilled and unfried chicken skin. I tasted the lack of heat. I tasted the skin. For ever more, it will stand as a ghost bite--- haunting me because it was so bad for me, but for others, who were raised on eating it on the regular the bite might have been just like my grandma made after playing squid games. But Conrad and I had items that were love on skewer and plate. So they had these super cheap bar bites like 1.99 for theam and I wanted to start ordering. Jean informed us that we could not order those if we were not drinking. I dont drink, I said, and almost like an echo that does more than parrot, he said, I don't either. I then asked what is the cheapest drink we can get so can order from the skewer section. She pointed to a dollar sake and I said give it to a customer and you take it. We also ordered the cheese corn, a sea food korean pancake, frog legs, garlic, chicken in some sauce (that was really good) and this bulgogi glass noodle soup that was also effectively warm, boney-brothy, korean rice cakes, grilled garilic and other stuff. What send me to the top of Hallasan- Korea's Mt. Fuji- was having a mouthful of the cheese corn, a peeled piece of roasted garlic, and the chicken that I cannot remember. The tastes were clean, worked well together and were familiar yet different in a lovely way. It was flavors I understood elevated by Korean ways and tricks that I believe were imported just for the place. The seafood pancake (once it cooled a bit) was shrimp based and it was cooked with chunks of carrots and other vegetables that were more than flavor profile building they made me feel like I ate a salad field within an egg. One of the reasons this place is so immersive is because they do not shy away from embracing the theme, like hard, hard. Everywhere you looked stickers and graffiti were there. The feeling of make shift eateries that were made of wood but in the street was so compelling is making about never visiting Korea because I spent sometime in its alleys, enjoying good food, with a good friend, with Korean drama around me. And that is the kind of eating that is not just fulfilling or delicious, it is transformative. read more

I love this place and have been coming here since I was 16, but my friend almost completely ruined it for me one day. Well start with how he almost ruined it for me, then get into why this place is so great. So my friend who now owns a wine company in Santa Barbara which has Santa Barbara in the name and the word winery somewhere in the name used to come by and visit me in La a lot from where he used to live in DC. Whenever he would come, he would ask me where to go eat. So we went to a bunch of different places but he liked this one a lot, so we ended a lot of nights here. One night, he asked for the bill twice and they were taking a while so he said let's just walk out. I followed him like an idiot. I was so embarrassed to come back for so long, but one day he finally wanted to go back and bring his wife and maybe kids there. The greeter looked at me and was like, "It's you!!!" I was so embarrassed and he kept blaming me for being the person to do it when it was him, and his wife had to save all of us by paying cash for the missed bill. But it wasn't my idea to come here that night. Last year I was furloughed from my job and was on unemployment, so I took home only $40,000 last year. That type of person stays home at all costs unless someone else is paying for things. So it made me sad he ruined my spot for years. Anyway my mom showed me this place when I was 16. My friend Thomas introduced me to the owner probably close to 2 decades ago. All of a sudden, Anthony Bourdain went to the place and it got super popular. Even during Covid they did everything in their power to ensure people could go out and enjoy great food by setting up balconies and a tent outside. They have amazing skewers. Their mushroom skewers are some of the best out there that pop with flavor. Their short rib (kalbi) is just so good and if you compare it to the price of other restaurants, it's probably around half price of everywhere else. I think it's literally the same price as what you would pay at the grocery store, pound for pound, which is crazy, and that's not even cooked. They have amazing dishes from corn cheese to dumplings and so many of their menu items are great. They give you a courtesy soup at the beginning that has a hint of a kick of spice to it which is really refreshing. Their lemon soju comes out in a little teapot you can pour out. I thought they give you barley tea, but it's oolong now. Maybe a change happened recently but it's pretty refreshing. The servers are always kind and attentive. The atmosphere is great because you can see everyone cooking and also get cool wall art where a lot of people mark up the walls. The food is just phenomenal and the prices are still reasonable, even though everything else is getting more expensive. This is the place to be, but sometimes... The lines make it hard, because everyone already knows that this is the spot to go to in ktown... Hopefully they don't hate me anymore and know it's that one guy who owns the wine company who did it!!! It wasn't me!!! It wasn't my idea either!!! I was freeloading off my friend!!! read more

This spot is one of those lowkey, late-night gems with a super cool, tucked-away vibe. Dim lighting, graffiti-covered walls, and an open grill setup--it feels like you found somewhere you weren't supposed to, in the best way. The skewers are the main event and they don't miss. Everything comes out hot, slightly charred, and packed with flavor. The chicken was juicy, the shrimp had a perfect snap, and the beef was rich and tender. Even the wings were glazed just right--sticky, smoky, and super satisfying. Simple menu, but they execute everything really well. One thing to know: you have to be 21 and order a beer if you want to order the skewers, so keep that in mind before you go. It adds to that izakaya-style experience, but definitely something people should know ahead of time. Overall, it's all about the atmosphere and quality bites--great for a chill night, grabbing drinks, and sharing a bunch of skewers with friends. Definitely a spot you go back to. read more

My friends and I came here on a busy Saturday night after we smelled the delicious skewers and saw a long line outside. We had to wait about an hour to eventually be seated. It was a very busy night for this place. The inside is pretty dark and small with a lot of graffiti on the walls. I felt like I was being transported to a small Korean pub in Seoul. Everything is pretty close together inside and it was a pretty busy and loud environment. After we were seated, we were served two complimentary appetizers: some cold vegetables and cabbage soup. The cabbage soup was tasty. Then we ordered the spicy chicken skewers, beef skewers, black sausage skewers, tender pork skewers, scallop skewers and a seafood pancake. Here's my ranking of each item: 1) 5/5 -- The spicy chicken skewers were my absolute favorite. The chicken was tender and the spicy sauce was so delicious! The heat definitely builds with each bite though. 2) 4/5 -- The tender pork skewers were indeed tender and had a lighter flavor, but again very enjoyable. 3) 4/5 -- The scallop skewers were also very tender and tasty, but the scallops were very small. 4) 3.5/5 -- I expected more flavor from the beef skewers. It was a good cut of beef, but I like when there's a sauce or a marinade. 5) 3/5 - The seafood pancake did the job and had a generous amount of seafood filling, but I really wish that the pancake was crispy and had more golden edges. I'd come back here again if I was craving small skewer plates with some soju or beer! I would just recommend coming on a weekday, so you don't have to wait an hour in line. read more

1st time trying this place. This restaurant gave me a street food vibe at late night time. (Tip)~when we tried to order skewers items from the menu, they said grilled items can only be ordered when we order alcohol. So we ordered beer just to try their quality of food here. Service was not good either. All the staff seemed to be busy when there were a lot of empty tables. They grilled foods when the orders were made which is good because they were fresh. Steamed pork belly was good with tender pork slices that were easy to chew and delicious to eat with green salads that were provided. Beef intestines skewers were good as well with soft intestines that didn't have that stinky smell. Intestines were grilled with good seasonings. On the other hand, kimchi that came with lunch box was not fresh and it had a foul smell and foul taste too. I had kimchi before at many of the K restaurants and I'm very positive that other kimchi doesn't taste or smell like that. Lastly, when the bill came out, all I saw on a piece of paper was the total amount of money with language that I could not understand or read with my own both eyes. So if a manager was reading this- my review- please tell your responsible staff to PRINT legibly so that ANY customer can understand what they are being charged for and how much they are being charged to eat at this (your) restaurant. Thank you so much for reading this honest review everyone. read more
