Great Korean eats in Van Nuys area! Portions are generous and family-style, so expect leftovers. Cold Bulgogi noodles were delicious and flavorful by itself, and elevated with their house sauce. Served plenty of banchan/side dishes. Really good sour and tangy kimchi! Had the pear juice, not the slush, but would recommend both on taste alone. Very sweet and refreshing! Service was prompt and I felt very welcome. Beautiful outdoor patio and many tables indoors. Restroom is through the kitchen, so just ask! Really enjoyed my meal here! read more

Jip Bap - Cold BULGOGI COLD NOODLE - Korean Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

We came here on a Friday around 7:30 pm. The inside is small with decent amount of seating for the space. They seemed a little busy with both for here and to go orders. We ordered on the touch screen that's available at each table inside. We decided to get the pork katsu with a side of curry and nangmyun. The total was around $50 before tip. It took about 30 minutes for the food to be ready. My favorite part of the meal was the ban chan. Very well seasoned and delicious, definitely tasted homemade. The pork katsu was okay. I thought it was a bit on the smaller side of katsu I've had in the valley for similar price. I think it was also a bit overcooked, the outside was crispy but the inside wasn't very juicy and was a little tough. The rice and salad it came with was standard. I thought the curry was pretty good but could've been slightly more salty. The cold noodles were also okay and I've definitely had better and for a better price. The flavor was mild. I really liked the marinated cucumbers though, otherwise I didn't think it was too special. I honestly thought about rating it a 3 but it wasn't too bad. I would do 3.5 if I could. The food was filling. Just compared to other places, it wouldn't be one of my top choices. I also considered because they're small and they were so busy, it might've been a tough night. But still, I won't go out of my way to return but if you live close by, not a bad choice. read more

Well balanced Korean dinner with plentiful banchan, entree portions, and friendly staff. My girlfriend and I had been wanting to try this restaurant and finally came in for a late Friday dinner. It was not completely full and we're sat immediately upon arrival. Their team/kitchen looks small but we're pumping out to-go orders through out our dinner. Once we ordered, the food took about 15-20 minutes to come out. The presentation of the meal was outstanding. Each item was nicely prepared and had my stomach grumbling upon view. Overall the food was a 4/5 as I think the curry could've been more savory and cutlet tasted a bit over done with some fatty pieces but was still yummy. I enjoyed the soup as well but shared the same experience of being a bit weaker flavored than I hoped for. Not sure if we'd be back as we have enjoyed other Korean plates elsewhere for more reasonable price, but was very happy we finally gave Jip Bap a go! read more

Jip Bap - PORK KATSU and - Korean Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

If Koreatown is too far or too busy for your liking, this place will give you a sample of a Korean restaurant in the city. First similarity, there isn't a parking lot and street parking is competitive. Food quality matches any average Korean spot; sort of like what you would get at a food court in Koreatown. It is pricey for Korean food, so go for their combo deals. That'll make the cost per food worth it. The store is very modern and feels a little industrial. You go in, sit down and order off a screen. The food comes out when it's ready. There's very little interaction with other people unless you plan a group lunch. It reminds me of some Japanese restaurants that service those not interested in to talking to people while they eat. They just want a quick service, eat some food and leave. If this was a place in Koreatown, I'd probably give it a 3 star, but considering that it's in the valley, I'm upping it to 4. There just aren't enough places in the valley that serve food of this quality. I'm calling this average Korean food, but it beats other Korean restaurants in the valley by a mile. I'm talking about those places that service food you can get from Costco (Bibigo and the like) or Trader Joe's. The valley needs to more places that serve actual Korean food. read more

Pleasant first visit to this Korean Homestyle cooking in van Nuys - it's in a great location! They use all electronic ordering at the table. The jap Chae was super as well as the beef bulgogi. The clam soup was delicious but slightly salty and too spicy. We are rather sensitive. However I know others wouldn't be bothered by jalapeños or the salt. We would love to go back! read more

Pretty solid Korean food in the middle of a very random section of town. Parking on the street. Service was very nice and I love the convenience of ordering on the iPad at every table. The food is piping hot and solid. Reminds me of good home-cooked food. Small array of banchan along with my fiance's chicken kimchi tofu soup and I had a large portion of the clam noodle soup. Very good portions and took some home too. read more

Today I ordered from the Korean place called Jip Bab They had to buy one get one free: I got the Japchae with veggies: it's silver noodles and vegetable vegetables delicious with a soy sauce: so tasty I will order again I also got KimAri: which are small roles with seaweed and vegetable vegetables inside; it is an acquired taste, but I liked it read more

This negative review has nothing to do with the service - the server was very kind and was able to answer all of our questions. The restaurant is relatively self-sufficient, ordering-wise. You sit down at a table and order food from an iPad. The ordering and table delivery part were very efficient, that I will say. What I wish could have been improved on was the food itself. The pork katsu appeared very strange - it was not a solid cut of meat, instead a mush of mystery meat and fat. While I recognize that katsu is Japanese/it may not be the house specialty, I'd still expect the food to be good if it's on the menu. The seafood soon jigae was made with a spicy pork broth which is fine...but it lacked depth in flavor. It tasted just okay. The shrimp did not taste like they were cleaned. There were some mystery floating brown clumps that were very off putting. The tofu was tofu. (We ended up primarily eating the broth and the tofu.) And to top it all off, the rice was overcooked mush. When you're paying $25+ for a bowl of soup, you just expect a little bit more. read more

Quality food and service. The meat was perfectly cooked and was delicious. Between the Galbi and the Bulgogi, the Galbi shined. Pair with a bowl of rice and it was perfect! Sidra Soda was also refreshing and was not overly sweet. The only downfall was the prices as items on the menu seemed expensive. Will definitely be back to support this small business as the food was great and the staff was so nice. Can't wait to try the other items on their menu! read more

Solid Korean food spot on Burbank Blvd, a busy street during rush hour. The menu prices are a bit above average, but dining in was well worth the experience. They do have a some menus outdoors that also include some Japanese food. Ordering was fairly straightforward via their on-table kiosk. It's a very chill spot with little foot traffic even on a weekend for dinner. There is much ambiguity with their menu items; sometimes stuff is available, sometimes it's not. Some are seasonal, but they aren't labeled as such. Prices are also not on their menu. I enjoyed their Kalbitang, which had several bones of meat. The meat was all cooked to perfection and tender; the broth was hearty though heavily flavored with what tasted like soy sauce. My favorite was the fluffy rice. I thought their sides were tasty, but I neither intrigued nor inclined to ask for more. There were a few customers that walked in to order, and they do have options for seating both indoors and outdoors. The atmosphere is overall very relaxing, perfect for either a rainy day or a pick-me-up meal. read more

I am SOOO happy I found this korean spot and not have to drive to K-Town!! We got the Soon Tofu Jjigae - 1 with beef and 1 with seafood, both with purple rice, and the Haemul Pajeon (Seafood pancake). The pancake I wasn't too impressed by, the bottom was pretty soggy (maybe it's supposed to be this way?), but the flavors were great. Love the side dishes it came with! HOWEVER, the Soon Tofu Jjigae was 1000% worth it and why it's still 5 stars to me. A pretty generous portion, piping hot, and hits the spot. Parking wise, there is a tiny lot in the back, but I prefer to park on Burbank Blvd or on a side street. You order on an iPad which I don't LOVE, but also there was only 1 lady working at the time so I'm sure that helps her a lot. Will absolutely be back soon! read more

Love love this place! We've been back several times! Tried a lot of things on the menu. Some favorites include the potato croquette and the karaage chicken (kid friendly). The staff is super nice and the food is always on point. This last visit, we came on a Friday around 5:30. This is near our daughter's gymnamstics class. You order from the menu - we got the karaage chicken for my daughter, I got the galbitang and hubby got the teriyaki chicken. Everything was delicious as usual. Really love this place! read more

The place is quite small but it has several tables ans chairs. The place was really busy, there was only 1 server visibile so service was bare minimum. We ordered the Sukiyaki bowl and Pork Cutlet, both were under Japanese dishes. We ordered them from the iPad from the table which was very easy and accessible.They both were just okay, nothing extraordinary but generous portions. The place featured signs about tipping and if you are 6 and more, automatic 18% gratuity. The total for both dishes came about $48. read more

I've driven by this place SO many times but never ever experienced it. We would alway see it whenever we're driving along Burbank Blvd. This visit, after our nail appointment I remembered the katsu sign as that what I would alway see. But never knew what the exact name of the restaurant was. Well, good thing it was literally around the corner from where we were. There's street parking which we were lucky to get right out front. Plenty parking along Burbank blvd. I'm not sure but there maybe parking in the back. The place isn't that big with a couple of tables on the patio and more inside. It was our first time so we weren't quite sure about it. Well, you seat yourself and there's a kiosk machine on each table for ordering. Self service, place your order and voilà. The menu isn't big at all. You have Korean and Japanese main entrees. There's bento boxes, katsu of course, hot pot, stone pot and sides. Not a lot to go off but they do have a good amount of the classic and favorites. After we places our order, sides dishes were brought out as well as a water container. Fishcakes and the kimchi was a major hit. Quite tasty so it was a good little snack while waiting for the entree to arrive. Also, extras were included if you wanted more. We went with the pork katsu and fish katsu meal. Serves with salad with either white or black rice. Also added a side order of curry sauce for an additional fee. It wasn't too long till the food arrived and by the looks of it, it was nice. Fish and pork were cooked perfectly and battered nicely. Each bite had the perfect crunch to it. Each piece was juicy. It also came with a side of katsu sauce. Food was great and service was excellent. We did noticed loads of take out which was nice. The lady working was a doll and sweetheart. Busy as she was the only one but still had a smile on her face the entire time. There's a restroom which is in the back going through the side of the kitchen. Overall, the meal was very tasty and flavorful. Seeing all the other dishes and bento boxes being brought out, makes you want to try everything. Will definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

Came here with a friend for lunch on a recent Sunday and had an enjoyable meal. We both ordered the galbitang, short rib soup. My friend tried to order the cold noodles since it was a hot day (especially for November), but apparently it's a seasonal summer-only dish and was marked as sold out on the menu. The galbitang was well made, with plenty of tender beef, and the broth tasted flavorful and clean. The portion was large, I took the rest of it home and it was enough for another meal. Ordering was simple using the tablet at the table, although we tried to put in separate orders so we could get separate checks but they ended up combining the bill at the end. Not a big deal since we just put down 2 credit cards and they split it for us, but just FYI. The banchan was decent, a small selection of 4 items but they did refill upon request. As for parking, we both found spots on the street. Apparently there's parking available in the back, but I couldn't figure out where was safe to park and didn't see any signs, so I opted for the street since I didn't want to take a chance. Would definitely return to order the soup again, especially now that the weather is colder, and try other dishes as well. read more

Parking: Jip Bap is a very small store so it is easy to miss. There is a very small parking lot / alley in the back. It looked like parking were for the stores in front but there was no way into the restaurant. I had to walk around to the street. Exterior: There was a small patio area with a few tables for dining. It looked relatively clean. Interior: Jip Bap is a pretty small restaurant. There were not many tables available but it was very clean. It was not very busy when I went on a weekend for lunch. Service: There was a tablet at each table to order from. The waitress there was friendly. Food: I got the Pork Katsu with a side of curry. The meal comes with some typical Korean side dishes. The breading on the katsu was fried perfectly so that it was golden, crispy, and not too greasy. However, it was already heavily seasoned so it was actually a bit too salty for me when I added curry to it. Overall, it was a nice meal. read more

Discovered this spot near our hotel, and it turned out to be a great find! Orders are placed directly on the tablet at your table, and the server brings everything over, including the banchan--though I do wish they offered more than just four varieties. We were a bit skeptical about the food, especially dining in at 9 PM, but were pleasantly surprised by both the quality and portion sizes. For our group of four, we ordered Galbi, Japchae, and Galbitang, all of which were flavorful and satisfying. read more

I came to Jip Bap on a weekday lunch w a craving for some kimchi fried rice. The parking situation is pretty bad; you can attempt some metered street parking (though this was taken when I arrived) and when I attempted to go through the nearby gas station to find parking in the back, while I did find parking there and did in fact, park, I very much do not think this was the parking for Jip Bap and am happy I didn't get a ticket or get towed. I initially was actually going to place an order online for carry out but I saw that online if you want banchan there is a $7 fee for this? So ultimately, I just opted to eat inside. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and the place was not busy when I came though there were a few other customers. There is a tablet on each tablet for you to browse their menu and submit your order. Service was quick after I placed my order. Banchan (misc) 3/5, this was just ok though mainly because the items that were not supposed to be chilled (ie, not the kimchi or veggies) were also chilled so I felt it wasn't very fresh? Kimchi fried rice 4/5, this was quite good. I enjoyed this dish though I think I would limit the amount of meat served within it in the future read more

The portion size was also pretty good- I was able to eat lunch for two days with this order. Definitely will be ordering from here again! read more

Jip Bap is a cozy Korean spot that hits the mark for a satisfying, casual meal. Parking is street only, but it's was easy to find parking right in front. The service can be a little slow, they seem to handle a high volume of takeout orders, which can slow down dine in service. Still, the staff is friendly and food is good! I tried the naengmyeon (cold noodle soup) and it was a refreshingly cold, with perfectly chewy noodles and a tangy, savory broth that's incredibly satisfying on a hot day. The balance of flavors was just right. The Galbi (grilled short ribs) was nicely marinated, tender, and tasty. It was well-seasoned without being overpowering, and paired nicely with the traditional banchan sides. read more

Wanted to try something new and different and went based on the good reviews, and was not disappointed at all. I've never been to Korea, but have a very strong feeling this is the real deal. Everything was delicious and fresh. The complementary kimchi and pickled vegetables were amazing. The hand pulled noodles with clams and seaweed was awesome. The only thing that was not quite as impressive was the salad which was fine, but nothing special. You order on the little screen that's at each table and there was only one server, but he was very good and attentive. Probably ordered a little too much. Can't wait to go back. Hope they get a beer and wine license one of these days because a nice beer or some Soju would've gone great with this meal. read more

The broth was really good... it's a computer tablet ordering system - I don't like that. This place is probably fine for most people, but I was hoping for a more homey restaurant- it's not bad I think the concept is just tablet high tech of a vibe (which is fine)... but not my style. The food was decently good though... Soon Du Bu not as good as BCD Tofu house but it does taste good and better than I expected so I was happy. When we went in the restaurant was empty and the server was in the back so I had to stand up and wave her down for service- she probably didn't think she needed to be outside because it's tablet ordering, however, she should still be up front and not leave the front unattended for periods at a time (chatting with people in the back). When other customers came in and it got busier - her service got better, then she continued to check in on us- which I appreciated. This place is good if you're not a foodie- or if you're not looking for a high character and old-charm authentic environment... but the broth and flavors of the food here IS good. I only wish they put more beef in there... small beef portions and mostly Tofu. Would I recommend this place? Yes... if you don't want to drive to KTown and you're ok with high flavor but less meat portions in your beef Soon Du Bu. (Sorry I know I may mistaken in my spelling). I don't live near here... so... I was happy with my food and satisfied... but I won't go back. Maybe if I lived close to that neighborhood I (maybe) would go back, if I was craving. But I'd rather go to Ktown. read more

The quaint little spot on Burbank Blvd has maybe 9 takes inside and 3 outside. Inside you can order using one of the iPad. The menu is small but the options are delectable. Interesting mix of Korean and Japanese options. I went for Korean, since that's what I came there for. All orders (maybe main dishes?) come with complimentary banchan (fish cake, radish & onion, kimchi, sprouts) and iced water but I also ordered a hot tea. I opted for the Galbi and Soup Combo. Yummmmmmm!! The galbi was deliciously sweet and savory, with some parts more fatty and other parts nice soft meat. My mouth is still watering thinking about it. The soup I chose (you get 4 options) was Beef Soon Tofu Jjigae and it was soooo good! Perfectly balanced flavor and only a little spicy. I saved most of it and the black rice (upcharge of $1 but refillable for free) for breakfast tomorrow. I can't wait to come back here when I'm in the area again and bring friends! I hope the pictures and video help. read more

Had a quick few minutes prior to grabbing the kids and we tried this spot as it was on the way to the kids school. Nice quaint place with a few tables a few counter seats by the window and a few tables outside. Tablets to order are affixed on the indoor tables which is very modern. Missed the pancake and pear slushie which the latter was sold out and the former wasn't even on the menu when we came for lunch? So we went with the fried chix and the tofu soup. Nothing extraordinary but considering the area, halfway between ktown and northridge it will do. Of course the soup remained pipping hot throughout the meal, which has to be a standard when eating almost all korean soups. Food was good. Chicken was sweet and sticky-icky. The tofu soup missed the oomph. Was spicy and pipping hot but was kinda watery. Likely a one and done since there are so many other different options in the area. Might be worth a retry if we're in the area and under time constraints again. read more
