    Kimchi Pancake

    My first experience was great, and I was really looking forward to visiting again! Unfortunately, this is now the second time I've come by and they've closed early :/ Their posted closing time is 12:30 a.m., but I stopped by around 10-11 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday and they were already closed. Definitely disappointing, especially since I really enjoyed my first visit!

    The best soy marinated raw crab I have had so far in Koreatown! Flavor was phenomenal and clean presentation that showcased how fresh the crab was. We also got a Seafood Scallion Pancake that was huge and super fresh too. So glad to see this place is still doing well after I checked this place out about 4 years ago. Parking can be a pain as they have a small parking lot shared with other restaurants in a plaza. The tables are limited but you should be able to grab one on a week night or an early dinner. Restaurant is small and humble with a welcoming vibe.

    Loved this place! Pretty unassuming on the outside, but the inside is cozy and modern. Service was super fast and great. Food was yummy too. The LA Galbi was solid. The meat was tender, sweet, and super flavorful. The seafood pancake was really big and crispy. Definitely good to share between 2-4 people. We each got a side sauce for the pancake. The banchan and purple rice came on the side and they were both pretty tasty too. I wanna come back to try the raw marinated crab here too.

    This is usually one of my go-to spots for raw marinated crab in koreatown! My friends and I have eaten here multiple times, and every dish that we get is always so good! Dishes we got today: - pork belly kimchi pancake: really yummy pancake that pairs well with the soy sauce for dipping - prime short rib green cabbage soup: a good savory soup for a cold day! the meat is really tender and flavorful, and this goes well with or without rice - spicy raw marinated crab: has a good spice to it! goes really well with the rice mixed with the pickled veggies. be prepared to get your gloves really dirty though because of all the sauce LOL - soy marinated crab: it was a little salty on the day i got this, but in the past, i remember it being very flavorful but not too salty! also pairs well with the mixed rice, and it's a good contrasting flavor from the spicy marinated crab overall, i've never had a bad experience at haneuem! the service here is really efficient and attentive. the only downside here is the parking (small lot and only valet service for $3), so i'd advise carpooling if you can!

    We wanted some good Korean food in Koreatown. And alas, here we go. Street parking is free after 6pm and if not, they have a valet - which they weren't going to tell us..? As in, they were offering to park our car but ...no thanks.   For our party of 5, we ordered: -Raw marinated crab (spicy) -Lots of sauce, not that spicy, gloves were given -Pieces were cut in large and small pieces, I don't know if I'd order this again if I was ordering everything else (hard to go from gloves/no gloves)   -Bulgogi -Not to saucy, sweet, and lots of green onions and onions -I liked the charred taste and we only ordered bc the table next to us smelled so good   -Kimchi Pork Pancake -Crispy, huge serving, kimchi flavor not overpowering -Not a lot of pork   -Galbijjim -Not that spicy, great for two people - heck even three -has rice cake, potato, and carrots -cheese and torched with fire   Great time with the banchan, the company, and the food. I thought cost was pretty good for each individual $40.

    We were able to come here for lunch and I'm so happy we did. There is a small parking lot in the plaza but we were fortunate enough to find street parking nearby. I wanted to come here because I saw so many good reviews about the raw marinated crab. The restaurant itself is small but they managed to fit a good number of tables. Service is great and they are super friendly. For food, we got a combo that came with spicy raw marinated crab, raw soy marinated crab, and raw soy marinated shrimp. Highly recommend getting this with a group because it was sooo much food. I loved that they gave you a lot of crab and you get a side of roe rice bowls. My favorite were the soy marinated crab and shrimp. Everything tasted fresh and I enjoyed the sweetness from the sauce. If you're not as much of a fan of seafood, the galbi was also a delicious option. Super tender and flavorful.

    My sister and I came in for a late meal. This place did have a parking lot . I don't think you'd have to use a meter or parallel park. I don't remember seeing valet or not. The food here was good. The service was good. I had no complaints. The ambience was modern and cute. I would say it's a casual place.

    I visited HanEuem on a Tuesday night and had a great experience! Parking is convenient with valet available for $4.50, but you can also street park if you're lucky enough to find a spot. The restaurant itself was spacious and cozy, which made for a comfortable, casual dining setting. The waiters were warm and attentive, taking care of us right away. We ordered the soy-marinated raw crabs, pork belly kimchi pancake, and korean bbq cut beef short rib. It was my first time trying raw crab--the leg meat was delicious but the meat in the big crab shell was a bit fishy. But every dish was packed with flavor, and there were so many tasty side dishes too! Portions were generous and more than enough for the three of us. Overall, a great dining experience. I will definitely return!

    Came here for the raw crab and didn't leave disappointed! Came here for dinner with a somewhat larger party of 6+ people. The space wasn't too busy so we were seated without issue and got to ordering pretty quickly. The menu had a good mix of Korean dishes and we got several to share. Food came out quickly and service was good, albeit a little slow on water refills. The food tasted fine, portions were just a little small relative to the price. I enjoyed the oysters the most, but the crab was solid too. Everything else pictured was okay and we left somewhat full. I probably wouldn't mind coming back, but would opt to try other options in the area for crab again.

    Spicy Marinated Fresh Raw Crabs

    My friend eats here a lot and posts about it online, so I was curious how the food is here too. My other friend wanted to grab some Korean food, so I gave her three options of where to eat. She picked this! Personally, I wanted to try the ribs, and they definitely hit the spot. They were full of flavor and had the right marinade and braising that just brought out all the flavors you would want in a dish like this. I think that was a really solid choice here, but then again, it's $55 for 4 pieces, which is kind of expensive. Luckily, my friend paid haha. The panchan is made eloquently. You get wild ear mushrooms in the japchae, you get pieces of shrimp. It's really high quality. For the crab, I personally do not enjoy eating raw crab (I love cooked crab but I just don't like the texture of raw crab), so I don't really have an opinion on that. However, I must say, that the bowl you use to mix your rice in with the veggies like bibimbap, that has the seaweed, fish eggs and other elements, was really quite tasty. I tried one of their marinated raw shrimps too, which was pretty good. The service here is great. Everyone is attentive and kind. The ambiance is nice. I like this place but I think I like their sister restaurant a tad bit more, over at Dasom, a few blocks away. I just wish that they went back to serving their old panchans there. Those panchans they used to have were AMAZING...

    Tucked away in a plaza in the heart of Los Angeles, HanEuem is the quintessential authentic Korean food serving comfort food and good vibes. As one of the better places to get raw marinated crab, HanEuem already gets my appreciation and approval. Keep in mind they often run out of the soy sauce marinated crab (bummer, I know!) but their spicy crab isn't bad either. Their food portions are generous and it truly does taste like comfort Korean food, retaining the authentic flavors while also giving them their own personality. The place is cozy with sufficient seating for a good amount of people given the size of the place. Being in a plaza, for better or for worse, yes this is yet another valet spot in Ktown. The service is good, the staff is friendly, and they help you out if needed. Overall, HanEuem delivers on the promise and is a great spot to grab a meal. Solid 4.5 stars.

    Does the restaurant still offer outdoor seating?

    Not anymore , landlord made us removed the outdoor seatings. So sorry

    I recommend LA Galbi ( Korean marinated short ribs ) braised beef back ribs , Korean pancake combination, grilled mackerel, seafood pancake are some of the dish that won’t cause you allergic reaction from your info

You can taste all the herbs, seasonings, and time they took to prepare.

The spice actually pairs really well with the seafood too. If you want a spicy stew, this is it! Noodles are thick and chewy too. -Bossam: so yummy! I wish I could get it more often but it's a huge portion, so come with a group so you can try it and the noodles! Everything is quality- the bossam slices, the lettuce, the toppings on the wide. Chefs kiss! My only small gripe is the portions are so big that when I come with one other person, we only have the stomach capacity to eat two dishes! Always excited to come back and try more.

It is pretty elegant inside, away from the shabbiness that most older strip malls in this area now reflect. I came with my daughter's father-in-law (SJ) for a weekend lunch, and we really enjoyed it. Kobawoo is named after the main character in a famous Korean satirical comic strip, with the name evoking resiliency in Korean culture, just like what the owners wanted for their restaurant. It has a nice modern website, with one page menu appearing with pictures. We took the Metro so didn't need to worry about parking (which was already packed) and were seated right away. Pretty much everyone inside were speaking Korean, and it was actually pretty quiet inside with a low key vibe (no flaming cheese or sizzling plates here). SJ ordered for us, getting the Combo Bossam ($75.99). The normal part was boiled pork belly with napa cabbage (both boiled plain and uncut pickled), pickled daikon, radish kimchi and wraps, and salt fermented shrimp. The combo portion added steamed skate and glazed pork feet (hock). We got to choose the steamed rice accompaniment, either white or purple. Later we got a large bottle of Cass Beer ($9.99) to share. Four banchans came immediately with the rice, and all were excellent: I really liked the egg omelet dish (def taking more than my share) and the cut napa kimchi. There was a bit of a lull, then the feet came out next. then the skate next, the main plate of pork belly with toppings last. The pork belly was served slightly warm, with the rest of the food being room temp (or cold). I enjoyed the pork belly, not so much the skate (didn't realize how gelatinous and [edible] boney it is) and the pork feet (served cold hock, not my favorite as the ratio of collagen/fat to muscle was too much for my taste, but glad I got to try it). Even though we ate meat from the most fatty/gelatinous parts of the pig, none of it was overly greasy. The ability to customize to get levels of spice and structure is what makes this so good. Each bite was an adventure, and I really enjoyed trying different combo wraps with the various ingredients laid out in front. Was glad that we had a booth for four, allowing us to spread out. We definitely ordered too big for the two of us, bringing a lot of it home. They have more affordable lunch specials as well, but it being a Saturday was not available. They do have the traditional dishes served by Korean restaurants (Kalbi, BibimBap, and JJigae). They are also known for their their jun (pancakes). Service was good, with them only coming over when asked. We had a lot to catch up on, and never felt hurried as we casually enjoyed our food and drink. They brought over take home containers once we asked, and paid at the table. The servers wished us well as we left, and we noticed how the parking situation had gotten even more hectic from the time we came in. The restaurant appears in Eater's 'Classic Los Angeles Restaurants Every Angeleno Must Try' list, specifically for the boiled pork belly dish. Bossam isn't usually the dish most folks think of when choosing Korean food. If it is, this restaurant certainly is the place to come to.

As a party of 3, we all ordered the set menu with barley rice, and I could not even begin to tell you how shocked I was when the waitress brought out the food. It was dish after dish after dish, and by the end of it, the entire table was completely filled with food. All the dishes were well flavored and complemented each other nicely. I really enjoyed that you can mix everything together and create your own combination of flavors depending on what you're in the mood for. There's a nice variety of textures and flavors, so the meal never felt repetitive. To get some protein (and fat lol), we also ordered the bossam. The pork belly was cooked perfectly... tender, juicy, and flavorful. It paired really well with the crispy cabbage and pickled vegetables, which helped cut through the richness of the pork. Overall, this was a really satisfying meal. You get a ton of food for the price, the flavors are solid, and the experience was really unique. Definitely a great spot to come with a group so you can enjoy the variety of dishes together.

    What an experience!! Hehhe…read more We got the Set. We also ordered the galbi short ribs. It was about $50 for the ribs alone!! At first glance, everything looked amazing. Down the line, I realized that the set was basically a bunch of ban chan. Some were interesting because other Korean restaurants don't serve it. We were advised to use it to create our own bibimbap. The perilla porridge stood out most. I never had perilla porridge. The taste was unique. It had chicken inside. The small cup of pumpkin soup was yummy. The soybean soup (fermented soy bean stew) had a very pungent smell. I wanted to enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I couldn't stand the smell and not comfortable with the taste. Wish they gave an option to choose from different stews. The desserts were good. I also like their plum tea/juice. The galbi was well marinated. Not as tender as I was hoping for, but it was still delicious. With the price, I do feel like the set should include a dish of meats. Especially since the restaurant requires 2 people at $34 each for the set. If you go 3 people, prob more worth it. Overall, it was a fun experience. Service was great.

Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire.

Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.

    Of the 15 different naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) I've tried in Koreatown, Jinsol stands…read morealone at the top. Firstly, the restaurant staff is so warm and inviting. The space is clean and tidy. The environment really had me missing Seoul. And what better way to comfort a heart yearning for home, than authentic Korean food. The homemade buckwheat noodles have the perfect chewiness to breakage ratio that you'll go absolutely crazy for. I prefer the spicy naengmyeon because they've hit that delicate balance of heat and flavor that perfectly compliment the natural sweetness of the noodles. For anyone looking for a hearty meal, I'd recommend the combo, you get the cold noodles and an order of beef short ribs pork or chicken for about $30. My brother is a bodybuilder, so he goes for the Bibimbop (hot stone bowl with rice veggies and protein) and I'm guilty of stealing a few bites from his plate. The banchan has a freshness you can taste in every dish. If you're like me and in need of quality homemade kimchee, look no further. Everything at Jinsol Gukbap reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The amount of care that goes into preparing these meals really shines through. The balance of flavors is so deliberate, I can't call this a humble comfort food restaurant. The folks at Jinsol are true masters of their craft and I can say with confidence I'll be coming back again and again and again

    Food was okay overall, but the shredded beef with cabbage was definitely the best thing we ordered…read more That was my favorite dish of everything we tried. Service was okay. Before we ordered, they asked us about 3 times within about 5 minutes if we were ready, and we kept having to say that we still needed some time to decide . Once we ordered and our food came out, though, they pretty much disappeared and never checked in on us again lol. The ambiance was alright, but it was a little hot inside. It was also surprisingly busy for a Tuesday afternoon. Overall, it was an okay experience. The shredded beef with cabbage was the standout for me, but nothing else really wowed me.
