When I saw that this place had a 4.8-star rating with 144 reviews - not an easy feat - I was intrigued about whether they would deliver the quality I would expect. And they did. Goat can often be quite gamey, but this restaurant handles it exceptionally well. Their signature is the Goat Stew. The meat is tender and well-prepared, and every spoonful of the broth feels carefully layered with flavor - savory, warming, and comforting. There are supporting ingredients, like spices and chives, to complement the meat without overpowering it. It's the kind of dish that feels both hearty and refined at once. If you enjoy goat or are even just curious about it, this stew is a fantastic example of how well it can be done. I don't usually give 5-star reviews, but the Goat Stew at Goat Restaurant stands out as one of the better stews I have had in LA. I am already planning to come back for more. read more

I honestly regret not discovering this place sooner. I lived in LA before moving to Orange County almost 10 years ago, and I've always loved nourishing dishes like goat hot pot, so I've eaten it fairly regularly over the years. This time, I was back in LA and saw photos of the hot pot, which made me visit. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to order the boiled meat separately, but I did get to try some as a tasting along with the hot pot. You can really tell they use very fresh meat daily. Boiled goat meat absolutely depends on freshness, and this had no smell at all. It was even more tender and flavorful than places in Korea that operate their own dedicated farms. The hot pot was just as impressive. At many other places, the meat tends to be frozen, so once it cools down a bit, you start to notice an odor and the texture becomes dry. Here, the meat stayed soft, tender, and pleasantly bouncy. The broth was extremely clean and well-balanced, and the vegetables were generous. Even though I was already full, I couldn't stop myself from finishing the fried rice at the end. Thanks to the kind and welcoming owner, I truly enjoyed a wonderful meal. Now that I know about this place, I'll definitely be coming back much more often. read more

This is by far the best black goat soup I've had in LA. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful without any of the strong gaminess that can sometimes come with goat dishes. Even if you're usually sensitive to the smell, you can enjoy it comfortably here. The meat was incredibly tender and fresh, and every bite felt satisfying. The seasoning was perfectly balanced -- not overly salty or heavy -- so I was able to enjoy the entire bowl without feeling overwhelmed. It truly felt nourishing and comforting.The interior is also very clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. It's a great spot for family gatherings or even a nice, cozy meal. Overall, everything from the food quality to the ambiance was excellent. I will definitely be coming back. read more

When you enter a Korean restaurant and 70% of the customers are old Korean ladies, you know you found a gem. Gatekeeping comes to mind, but this family run establishment should get their flowers. They've been around since 2002. They've been doing goat since Kobe the GOAT and Shaq were doing three-peats. Thanks to David, #bestoflafood for posting his video review. The three course meal is the way to go. We called ahead of time to make reservations. Owner aka, "Superstar" thanked us and recommended making a reservation in case they run out. They only cook two whole goats each day. One ready at 12 pm and another at 6 pm. For the three course meal, you can choose from the goat ribs ($80), front leg ($100) or the hind leg ($120). Then you add the hot pot and fried rice ($40). The three course meal with the goat ribs were perfect for 3 people. Flavors were simple yet complex. It's not as gamey as one would think. The salt and pepper dry dip and the fermented paste with hot mustard added some flavor bombs. The hot pot broth tasted clean and resets your palette. It made you dive in for more ribs and banchan. Back and forth, It was a roller coaster of flavors. The banchan was perfect. They provided two types of kimchi. One was an oyster base and another fermented for 30 days. The 30 days had this pungent pop of flavor. The other two were spicy cucumber and bean sprouts. Just the right amount of banchan to let the goat be the GOAT. Just when you thought the ride was over, you get one last hoorah. "Superstar" takes what's left of the hot pot and makes a crispy kimchi fried rice. At first bite you get this deep savory mouthful and it makes you go for more kimchi. The fermented one elevated the rice even higher. Make sure you scrape the pot and get every bit of crispy rice goodness. What a way to end this GOAT experience. read more

My wife and I love goat. We also love Korean food. So, thanks to the Yelp algorithm, Goat Restaurant targeted me. And I'm happy that it did. Goat is in the place's name, so we had to get the goat stew for 2, which was the right call. The stew was fresh, spiceful, savory, bold, and hearty. And it was plentiful! We were treated to heaping amounts of goat and veggies in the stew, as well as unlimited sides. The banchan sides had prominent and notable fermentation but in a very welcoming, healthy, and delicious way. Our guts felt great after our meal. Special shoutout to our guy, Jin. I believe he's the owner--exceptional service. Jin was so warm, inviting, friendly, and eager to please. He's the best. I highly recommend Goat Restaurant to anyone who loves Korean food, goat, or is looking to try something new! read more

I have been to this restaurant multiple times, and the owner remembers us and really appreciates repeat customers. You can tell he loves what he does and his hospitality is unmatched! I hope he never loses his energy and enthusiasm. He really is a great person and a great business owner. On top of his amazing service, the food is incredible. Small menu, but everything is executed perfectly. The goat is fresh, tender, and clean tasting. The tripe dish was so perfectly crispy. The stew is so flavorful and the broth is amazing. Everything complements each other so well. It gets busy around lunch time but service is still fast. You literally see the owner running around and managing everything. I'm so happy this is in my neighborhood. You guys must try this place out! You will be amazed!!! read more

If you're looking for authentic Korean goat soup, this is the place to try. I've visited another restaurant in Koreatown, but I prefer this spot for its consistently high quality. The meat is always tender and flavorful, and the soup itself is rich, hearty, and satisfying. It reminds me of a Korean version of birria -- comforting and full of depth. The side dishes (banchan) are fresh and well-prepared, adding great balance to the meal. The owner is frequently present, warmly welcoming guests and ensuring excellent service. While it remains a relatively low-key spot, it truly feels like a hidden gem. Another plus is the free parking, which makes visiting even more convenient. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates authentic Korean cuisine. read more

My gf drove by a few weeks ago and asked if I had tried them out before. I have not and Goat stew has been on my mind since, so today was the day to swing by. They have parking in the back and they're located right on the corner. Very clean and open seating. Not a lot of seating but just enough. Service here is very very friendly and fast. The goat stew was so clean and flavorful it had made me fulfilled with happiness. Would go out of my way to come back and try all the other variations of goat along with the gop Chang dish! read more

I came to order the goat stew right before a show at Catch One across the street, as this place is literally right across. Plus I was curious about goat: I like goat cheese and goat curry, why not goat stew? Service was excellent, workers are some of the most friendly I have seen. They were curious which kpop concert I was attending it's Ampers&One for anyone reading, three of the boys are from Boys Planet survival show by mnet. I was served quickly and provided with to go box when I have to run out. Luckily my food was not confiscated by the venue so I was able to have goat for breakfast the next day. It was hearty but I believe the salt and the meat held me over from 330pm until 11pm when I got back to eat!!! Highly recommend if you like sheep or goat, or open to hearty meat. The place looks like it would be baby friendly if I were to return with my friend and her newborn. read more

Came for dinner on a Wednesday! FLAVOR (5/5): 1. SPICY BEEF STEW: Supperrr flavorful and yummy. It comes with glass noodles and a side of rice. The portion size is just right. I typically eat for half a person, but the food was too good I ended up mostly finishing it... haha. You also get banchan (all of which are good). I prefer this over Sun Nong Dan's spicy beef stew. 2. BRAISED PORK RIBS: I wish I wasn't so full after the spicy beef stew because the ribs were so good! They were tender and the potatoes and carrots soaked up all the flavor... perfect balance of sweet and savory. A must-get! SERVICE (5/5): The service was amazing! Super friendly and attentive. Quinlan is the goat AMBIENCE (4/5): Good for dinner/lunch. Cute interior! When we went, there were a decent amount of people there as well. PARKING (4.5/5): There's a small private lot - we got lucky and found one spot available. TAKEAWAYS: I really liked Goat and would definitely come back. I heard the Tripe Hot Pot was good... will have to try it next time. read more

Was a little confused if we found the right restaurant but it turns out that the storefront features its Korean name, 한미정, rather than the Yelp featured name, Goat. I ate the standard Goat Stew 염소탕 and its spicy and savory broth really hit the spot. The stew came with an ample amount of meat, making the price actually on the cheaper side for a goat meat dish. Fairly small restaurant, but they have a pretty big table so you can come reserve for a larger group. There's also parking both in the lot that the restaurant is located in and beside the building as well. read more

Goat meat is health food to the Korean people, but it is a delicacy, as it has distinct smell and flavor. That's why I love eating it here; the way they prepare it makes it easy for everyone to enjoy. The ingredients are fresh, and it is delicious. There's plenty of meat, and the dipping sauce is so tasty. The side dishes are also great. Most importantly (for me ) the portion will filled you up! Plus, the service is great. The man that does everything in the hall is a fantastic guy, and he is very attentive. Go taste some wonderful delicacy! read more

We drove from Orange County and met friends at GOAT for an amazing meal. The food, service, and ambience were all outstanding. According to Michelin Guide, "a restaurant in the recommended selection is the sign of a chef using quality ingredients that are well cooked, simply a good meal." This statement reflects the meal we had at GOAT. We have many choices for Korean food in Buena Park but GOAT is definitely worth the drive and we plan to be regulars. FOOD: GOAT gets 10 plus out of 10. The house signature goat stew was amazing, full of flavor from garlic, chives and perilla leaves and pieces of tender goat. The banchan/vegetable side dishes were refreshing and great compliment to the stew and rice. We've had many different types of stews elsewhere but GOAT's left us wanting more. We can't wait to come back and try the Goat Marinara, Beef Stew and Seafood Stew. Thank you "Captain" for transforming the fresh quality ingredients with love and care in every dish on the menu. SERVICE: GOAT gets 10 plus out of 10. You normally have to beg for refills of tea or banchan at Korean restaurants but NOT at GOAT. Jin and Quin were exemplary and provided great service. They were friendly, available, attentive, and quick to take care of our needs, even without us asking. AMBIENCE: GOAT gets 10 out of 10 for lighting, sound, decor, color, mood and or course cleanliness. It felt like I was eating in a Michelin restaurant. read more

As soon as I walked into the restaurant I smelled the cooking aroma of goat. Following is a super friendly greeting from owner JK. The decoration of the restaurant is modern and neat compare with other Korean restaurants. We ordered Goat stew and double garlic tripa (beef intestines). It comes with 3 banchan (small dishes) which are kimchi, white radishes and bean sprouts. They go really well with our main dishes. Goat soup is well cooked with perilla leaves and Korean spices. Tripa is super delicious especially eat it with garlic, jalapeno and onions. We will definitely come back anytime soon!! Highly recommended!! read more

Drove past this great hidden gem on the outskirts of Koreatown, came back and gave it a try. It was awesome! Goat Stew: 5/5 Double Garlic Tripa w/ Onions and Jalapeno: 5/5 Banchan: 4/5 My Food Rating = A Ambience/Decor: 4.5/5 Presentation: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Price: 4/5 My Experience Rating: A Location: 3.5/5 Wait: 5/5 Hours: 3.5/5 Parking: 5/5 My Convenience Rating: A- Pros: - Very hospitable and welcoming family owned restaurant. Jintae, the owner, is passionate about the food, his business, and he was super friendly. One of the best service you will find in all of Koreatown. - Casual-artsy vibe, decor, and menu with great natural light and high ceiling. - Private parking lot in the back. - Goat stew is healthy and nutritious! Not only is goat meat lean and packed with protein, perilla is very good for you too. - Generous portions of meat in the stew. - Tripa was well packed with flavor. - Refillable banchan (side dishes) and sauces. - They offer purple rice. - A place for both old and young. Cons: - They close real early at 5PM Mon-Sat. - Not open on Sundays. Tip: If you order the double garlic tripa, try eating it with the garlic, onion, jalapeno and tripa all in one bite. Tip: If you look carefully on the menu, they offer Regular Size and 'LBJ' Size. Apparently the owners are LeBron James fans and they are referencing LeBron to be the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). Conclusion: MJ is still GOAT when it comes to basketball, but Han Mi Jung is definitely one of the GOATs here in Koreatown. I'll be back. read more
