We came on a Sunday evening for an early dinner with a large group (~20 people) and squeezed into…read more~4 tables. The restaurant was much smaller than I expected and filled up quickly. Our group shared the following: popcorn chicken, stir-fried chicken gizzards, fried eggs with Spam, corn cheese, truffle French fries, seafood pancake, bossam (pork belly, shrimp paste, lettuce wrap), rose tteokbokki, steamed egg souffle with cheese, spam and kimchi fried rice, station noodles (beef broth, veggies), and strawberry bingsoo. My favorite of the night was the rose tteokbokki. The tteokbokki was perfectly chewy and I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. The popcorn chicken was also good and paired well with the sauce it came with. The bossam was on the dry side and the seafood pancake was pretty standard. The fries were good but wouldn't pay $10 for a basket of fries if we came back next time. The corn cheese was also good but the plate was small. There was a call button at each table which was convenient. Food came out individually as it was ready instead of all at once which was to be expected for our party size.

The redecorating and ambience was modern and sleek, with fully operational and clean water features. Grills were gas-operated, one grills there own meat items here. I really liked the natural-stone mini-subway style tiles on the walls. Like a lot of Korean places I have seen, the seats had minimal padding. I think this would be a great place for a date if you're in the area, a prize in an unassuming strip mall anchored by an auto parts store. Food was great, they happily and generously provided more banchan and also gave us complimentary bowls of soy paste soup that was practically jumping out of the bowl. As civilised as I tried to be, using my chopsticks and the cooking tongs correctly, I still felt like I completely stuffed my face like at a trough '^_^ it was all so good. Maybe to accommodate the neighborhood, the banchan was not nearly as spicy as we expected, so that might be great for someone trying Korean for the first time. Some might balk at the prices of some items, such as $24.99 for 1/2lb of raw meat, but we had a very enjoyable time and hope to come again.

While I was in a group of 5 these were the dishes I tried…read more Bulgogi hotpot 4 of 5: flavor was okay, but overly sweet and there was just not enough for the amount of the purchase for me. c/Corn cheese 3 of 5: It is what it is and arguably was the best dish cause I knew what to expect and it met that. However, the price was a bit much for this I'd say. Beef tartar: 3 of 5 As there was nothing to special to it. Wouldn't get it a second time. I'd say the trip was disappointing for our party of 5 and what we got didn't match the quality of other gopchang restaurants in LA. For me who did not eat intestines I'd say it's a 3 of 5 place, but I'd say the value for the intestines based on what my party ate was more of a 2 of 5 as it was mostly grease that overwhelmed everything with no meaningful way to reduce it. Service was a good 4 of 5, but not as attentive at times.

Claypot was exactly what I was craving. I ordered the Seolleongtang (Korean beef bone broth soup),…read morewhich came with tender beef shank and brisket in a rich, milky-white broth. I loved that you can customize the seasoning yourself with the provided salt and green onions, allowing you to get the flavor just right. The soup was incredibly comforting and flavorful without being overly fatty or greasy. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the generous portion came with rice and delicious kimchi on the side. Service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Everything on the menu looked amazing, and I'll definitely be back to try the beef ribs next time. If you're looking for hearty, authentic Korean comfort food, Claypot is absolutely worth a visit.

Service is always great! Place is always clean and great place to hang out. Will definitely come back for morr especially now that i have my go to soup!

One of the two best jjajangmyun places I've found in the US to date (the other being Fort Lee), which isn't that hard to do considering. The tangsooyook came out very nicely too, and no bell peppers, thank god. Still doesn't beat out my favorite place in Korea, found in 낙원상가 지하시장지하, but it's way closer. I'm just glad the quality is up to par since it is a chain originating from Korea. I was hesitant given my bad experiences at Bonchon here in the US (yeesh), but fortunately, this one didn't disappoint.

They have a take out charge???…read more For one the food isn't even good enough for the audacity to charge a take out fee. Makes me want to dine in next time and leave no tip. The food for jja jjang myun is sweeter than normal. The noodles were soft and not chewy. The jjam pong was not very spicy and had a very artificial spicy flavor that tasted like they substituted some of the broth with shin ramen soup powder. The seafood was all rubbery and too chewy. Just bad and to make it worse they charge for the dumbest things like a "take out" charge. 10/10 do not recommend.

I came here for the first time one Sunday afternoon in January. It was fairly busy as it was lunch…read moretime, but I was seated right away. I ordered the LA Kalbi. Like another reviewer mentioned, this was cooked and prepared (Mongolian style) in the kitchen. It came out on a sizzling skillet. It tasted delicious. The meat was really tender and juicy, but there were a couple of pieces with bone-in which I didn't really care for. I thought the side-dishes were really good. I completely finished the kimchi and pickled cucumbers. So good. I almost forgot about the miso soup. It was pretty standard (which is good) and hit the spot on a wintery day. Unexpectedly, for dessert, the server brought out a Haagan Daas ice-cream bar lol. I wasn't sure if this was normal or if it was just because I'm handsome? (found out later they do this for everyone... lol). I didn't really have room b/c I was full from the main dish and sides but ate it anyways (why not?). Overall I had a delicious meal. I can't remember the pricing off the top of my head, but I would say that it's reasonably priced. Oh, they also serve alcohol here too so if your looking for a spot for a group of people, that is an option. I personally had a large Cass to wash down my meal. Daebak!

The restaurant is very casual-order at the counter, find a table, and food is brought out to you. There is plenty of seating inside the restaurant. Hubby and I ordered the popcorn chicken cupbop and the beef cupbop and shared it between ourselves and our child. Each cupbop also comes with a beverage of choice. I preferred the beef over the chicken but the chicken was on the dry side. Portions are large and it also comes with a lot of rice. We were full after our meal and still had a lot of rice leftover in our cupbops. We also shared a cheese tteokbokki which was mediocre. The flavor was just okay and the sauce was too liquidy for my taste. Overall, service is kind and this place is good for a quick bite. I'd probably stick to the cupbops if we came back in the future.
