Our waiter was personable and took our order quickly as well as consistently replenished our drinking water. Everything was delicious and had its own unique flavor, from the chickpea fritters which had softness and crunchiness, the goat mousse with sweet and savory sauces and the crumpets and crackers; then the goat belly with a deliciously crisp skin and soft inside and intense flavor (but not gamey) with a rich sauce, the steak was yummy and precut, and the pork shank which was epic! I loved all the greens and pita to wrap the pork and goodies into! We ended with a bday scoop of mango sticky ice cream which was completely different than I've had before and yummy.

With things like goat curry and gluten free options, you gotta have rice. Second, they ran out of goat curry. I came all the way from San Diego to try it. Oh well. Excuse to come back. I loved every bite I tried. There was nothing that disappointed. The standouts were the green beans, the Brussels sprouts that came with the chicken, the pork shank and the tuna and crunchy quinoa salad. I'm still thinking of that crunchy quinoa. We had no room for dessert. So maybe next time we try the goat curry, get the quinoa salad again and get dessert! The service was great too. Attentive but not overbearing. It's a cute restaurant both inside and outside.

They offer Yuzu Shio (salt broth) and Yuzu Shoyu (soy sauce broth) Ramen. I went with Yuzu Shio ($19.50). The yuzu gives it a refreshing/bright taste that really cuts through the fatty broth and pork. Yuzu Limeade ($7) and although I liked the drink because it had a strong yuzu and lime taste, I wouldn't recommend getting it with a yuzu flavored ramen because it takes away the yuzu flavor in the ramen.

The owner was so friendly and helpful, and he took a moment to share his mission of making health food that doesn't just avoid animal products, but also nourishes the body. I ordered the enchiladas (one Paula's Mix and one the Chickpea Mix filling). They were stuffed with so many beans and veggies and piled with more veggies on top. The veggies were seasoned so well and the salsas (both red and green) were delicious. It came with a choice of sides and a side salad as well. My husband got the 16 oz Al Pastor Bowl and a pupusa on the side. Both were delicious. The restaurant was small inside, but very clean and had a friendly atmosphere. Parking was a bit of a hassle - street parking only in a jam-packed neighborhood, but it was well worth circling to find a spot. We will definitely be back.

What sets this place apart is how extraordinarily clean the food is. The level of detail and care they put into making sure they are serving the absolute cleanest, highest-quality options is nothing short of extraordinary. It's incredibly refreshing to find a spot that prioritizes wholesome ingredients this much without sacrificing an ounce of flavor. Everyone needs to come here just to taste what truly healthy, good food can actually taste like--it's a total game-changer. Every single dish feels vibrant and nourishing. Beyond the amazing menu, the atmosphere is so warm and inviting. Carlos is also very kind and goes out of his way to make every visit special, which just adds to the magic of the whole experience. You can really feel the passion, heart, and soul they pour into this establishment. I honestly wish I could eat here every single day. Do yourself a favor and check it out--your body and your tastebuds will thank you!

First of all, the burritos were a good size, so that it why they get one star instead of 0. When i ordered online, the menu listed soy cheese as one of the ingredients in the burrito but neither burrito had cheese in it. There was no flavor to the burrito, the salsa they give you on the side was the only thing saving it. Overall I would only come back to possibly try their pancakes.

The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters. Parking is metered parking or paid lot.

My favorite part about this place is that their restroom is SO CLEAN (for little tokyo!!). Never felt so comfortable in a restroom in LA until here lol. We visited during a Sunday lunch and it was not busy at all. Plenty of tables were open. We ordered quite a few things to share, we got to try the sweet potato cheese curry katsu, garlic suyuk, and the seafood pancake. Everything was so delicious! The garlic suyuk came out first and we all really enjoyed this one. The pork was so soft! The sweet potato cheese curry katsu was also really nice, everything was such a nice balance between the sweet potato, cheese, and curry was all a nice touch. The katsu was also very nice and crunchy! The seafood pancake was also pretty good too, very hefty. I would say it's a bit undercooked(?) so you can taste the batter a bit and everything inside of it, but I thought it was still pretty good since the top layer has a very nice crisp. Generally, portions are pretty huge so it's great we got to share everything. Overall, wonderful lunch here and 10/10 restrooms. Interior decor also very cute.

I've visited Jincook in Buena Park, so I was excited to try this location with colleagues. While we…read moreshared a few à la carte dishes, we had our own entrees. We noticed that they had a rice bowl lunch menu posted at the entrance. These come with an egg soup with a light broth. While the food didn't arrive very quickly, we still got seated in just a couple minutes. The restaurant was almost full with a lively ambience during noon on a Thursday. We shared sweet and spicy gangjung (Korean fried chicken) ($13.95), a seafood pancake ($29.95), and a kimchi pancake ($22.95). My favorite out of these shareable dishes was the Korean fried chicken; the flavor was delicious. The seafood pancake was adequate, but a few colleagues said that they've tried better renditions elsewhere. Portion sizes are large, so it's likely that you may leave with leftovers. I decided to get the garlic soy chicken rice bowl ($15.99) with a fried egg ($1). The flavor from the accompanying egg soup was rather forgettable. The chicken marinade was tasty, but it could've packed just a tad more flavor. I'd recommend putting gochujang. However, I enjoyed the juicy chicken and how the rice crisped at the bottom of the sizzling clay bowl. I thought the fried egg was tasty and worth the additional charge.

The only thing that tops the service is their amazing selection of pizza. I especially love that they offer legit vegan options. The vegan pepperoni is my go-to and never disappoints. If you're a fan of thin, crispy slices with great flavor, this is absolutely the spot. It's a small space, but we've always managed to grab a table. Most people eat and head out, so the turnover is pretty quick. Bonus: there's a free parking lot on the side of the building, which makes it even easier to swing by.

**FAVORITE RAMEN IN DTLA**…read more I was honestly surprised by how good the ramen is here, especially since it's completely plant-based. It had been a while since I'd had a bowl of ramen that really hit the spot, and this place absolutely delivered. PARKING There's garage parking and street parking nearby, which makes getting here pretty easy for downtown. FOOD No. 3 Garlic Miso Ramen Soboro (vegan meat & tofu), corn, fried onion, fried garlic, arugula, and garlic oil. Contains wheat (ramen noodles, fried onion, fried garlic). Simple but really satisfying. The noodles had the perfect texture for me, and the garlic flavor came through in the best way. The broth had great depth and richness, which made the whole bowl feel comforting and flavorful. RATING: 5/5 OVERALL The restaurant is small but cozy with a moody vibe. There are limited tables, but the service was friendly. Our food came out in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious vegan ramen in DTLA.
