Pretty solid Korean spot--not gonna lie. Perfect for a quick pickup when you're craving something warm and satisfying. I grabbed three items and it was more than enough to share, so the portions are definitely generous. The kimbap was a standout--classic Korean comfort food with seaweed-wrapped rice, pickled radish, carrots, spinach, and your choice of fillings. Simple but so good, and it really gave that "taste of home" feeling. I also tried the tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), which is a must if you're exploring Korean food. The rice cakes were soft, chewy, and packed with flavor. This one came with a boiled egg and customizable spice levels, which I loved. Super savory with just the right kick. Overall, a great go-to spot for quick, flavorful Korean eats. Definitely worth checking out!
Ambiance: it's a convenient Korean food place located in DTLA, it serves dine-in and has few takeout partners on the app Service: super friendly and patient with questions, accommodated special requests Food: simple menu for Korean comfort food, and they have new items added periodically Banchan - *** simple items and only served with plate order SPICY PORK BARBECUE - **** sweet spicy marinated pork belly pork belly, green onion, dried chili pepper, lettuce, flavorful meat, recommend SPICY STIR FRIED SQUID - **** sauteed squid with vegetables zucchini, onion, carrot, green onion, cabbage, chewy and tasty, recommend Price: moderate portions and reasonable prices, expect $20~$25 for a quick and hearty meal
The family in this place greet you so well. They welcome you and do their best to serve you quickly and humbly. I loved the first moment of walking in, it smells so good! They have a ramen wall, and a variety of deals for the lunch rush. I came in and had a beef bulgogi bowl, that was so warm and flavorful. Their dumplings are so good! My server gave me an iced coffee that was so strong it was delicious! This cozy little spot is a must try if you need something quick, and delicious. I cannot wait to come back!
Jumsim popped up on my radar while quickly looking for a lunch spot nearby. For businesses that have VERY strong ratings, I definitely come with some interest in whether it's hype or reality. However, I'm happy to share that Jumsim 1000% deserves all the love it's received. My colleague and I both ordered a rice combo. The spicy pork was just spicy enough to cater towards a wide audience (which is perfectly ok). Mandu is obviously handmade and was incredibly juicy. And lastly service-- it'll make you feel like you're at home! I read that it's a wife/husband duo that runs this spot, with the wife taking care of the front and husband taking care of the back. With DTLA still experiencing various socioeconomic challenges that impact businesses, I'm so happy to see places like Jumsim holding on. As I was sitting down, it was very obvious that they've grown a strong customer base. This is the sort of food culture and small business that drives our local economy, and I wish them the best-- if you're ever in the area, definitely give them a visit!
Cute little mom & pop Korean restaurant for gimbap (rice rolls), stews, and noodles. Great for lunch. A short walk from the courthouse, metro stations, or Grand Central, grand hope park. They got fried chicken wings too! Gotta try that sometime.
I really enjoyed my experience here it was like your parents were cooking for you it felt like home. The food is also very much like home cooking kimchi pancake and spicy pork was very good. It's a perfect mom and pop shop to grab a bite of comfort food!
5/5 experience. Service is very friendly and kind. It seems like a mom & pop shop. You walk in here and it feels like you're being welcomed into someone's inner circle. I was just visiting the area but could tell that she had many regulars. Several of them stopped by to just say hi to her, and one of them took pictures with her and she said that it was because this customer was moving away from CA the day after and just wanted a memory of this place. I really enjoyed the potstickers! They were a surprise hit. Two are included in the cupbap. It was so delicious I ordered another 6 of those separately. The cupbap appears to be one of the most economical options. There was plenty of beef bulgogi in it to make one feel full. The spicy pork barbecue was flavorful. It was a little spicy, and I loved it. We had leftovers to take home, we were so full by the end of it. Highly recommend this place! Ambiance is casual.
OMG! Best spicy pork belly I've ever had. Absolutely delicious with the perfect t heat if you like spicy foods. If you're not into spicy foods you will find this hot. If the flavors weren't so good, they'd get a 4 star, the rice to meat portions are heavily biased. Not enough rice.
Solid korean food spot. Very welcoming, lots of non-koreans and fairly busy for lunch which is a great sign. They have lunch items and then regular menu items as well. Everything tasted good. I would love to see a rose option for tteokbokki in addition to the standard one. The lunch bowls are a decent amount of food. Service was fairly quick. I would go again without hesitation. Very accessible. Parking is not great but that's normal for DTLA.
I came here for lunch because it said lunch on the wall outside. If anyone out there is thinking of doing the same thing, do it! It was pretty crowded for a weekday lunch (almost every seat full), but my party of 1 was seated immediately at the counter against the wall, which is the perfect spot for a solo eater. Everything looked amazing but I went with the beef bulgogi rice bowl combo (beef bulgogi, rice, cabbage, pickles [a little spicy] shredded seaweed, 2 beef dumplings, & fried egg). -- One thing to note: the dumplings tasted exactly like the Bibigo frozen beef mandu, which isn't a bad thing, but just struck me. I love those things but wasn't expecting to have them at a restaurant. Each element in the bowl was fresh and delicious, but nothing made me happier than the fried egg atop the beef. Just a little sliver of fried egg with its golden ooze (yolk) plus a forkful of beef bulgogi was pure bliss. Crispy, sweet, salty, yummy! This dish filled me up!! Once I dug that fork into my shiny gold bowl, I went downright ravenous on that meal til there was nothing left! It's like I blacked out and the eating monster took over. I probably finished in 10 minutes which is unheard of for me (slow eater). I also ordered the rice juice. This was my first time trying Korean rice juice so I wasn't sure what to expect, but this blew me away. It was like a less sweet, roasted and nutty horchata minus the cinnamon. I loved it! Not to sweet! Prices were reasonable, and service was FAST even though the place was packed! Such a cute mom and pop eatery that really makes you feel at home.
This place is great! We had the bulgogi and spicy pork and they were killer. These are perfect family style meals, so bring a friend or two. Service is super fast and soooooo nice! Great folks and great food.
The lunch crowd gets busy and for good reason. This is the best tasting yukgaejang I've had.
The food is good, authentic korean food in the middle of downtown la, Unnie is the best, service is fast, the place is small but can accomodate large group.

Exceptional food, great service, will definitely be getting a meal here again. I ordered the happy hour kimchi rice bowl - absolutely delicious. I don't know who the chef is but oh my goodness the taste is beyond. Would like to try the seafood next time. The employee service is also fast and kind. Parking is paid street or paid lot parking. Public transportation is convenient as well. A+ highly recommended. read more

Our server seems like the owner and she was so sweet and nice. The gimbap was delicious and freshly made with spam, yellow pickled daikon, spinach and spam. We really enjoyed it and would order it again. The Bonchon were sparse, but they went well with what we ordered. I was surprised that there was no fresh kimchi. Some of the spinach used to make the kimbap would be a good side too. The Bulgogi was the wet kind with sweet potato noodles mixed in with planks of mushroom and onion. I wouldn't order this again. It did not have the flavor I am used to and the texture was soft because of the noodles and the mushroom. When I come back, I'll try the spicy squid, the pork or the chicken. Happy to come back though because of the sweet owner and the proximity to everything downtown. The ambience is like a fast casual lunch place. Clean and bright. read more

Yummy food, cozy place, excellent service! I have nothing but good things to say about JumSim! Food: we got the bulgogi plate and the spicy pork plate. Both were good. Good portion. Love the soup and banchan that comes with it. Filling, comforting healthy. Just a quick note for those wondering: the soup is miso soup, not daenjang. Service: the nicest lady owns JumSim and works here. She greeted us so kindly, was always so attentive if we needed more water, and even had a chat with us before we left asking how we liked the food. It looks like there is only one person working in the kitchen so the food doesn't come out as fast as you'd expect but it wasn't a problem. Parking: there is metered street parking available right outside. It was 50 cents per hour. We went during lunch so we were able to get a spot. If ur looking for a well rounded meal and kind service, stop by JumSim! read more

I love this place. I work in the area and this is a great little lunch spot. The place is clean and well kept and the people are so nice and welcoming! The woman at the register always greets me with a friendly smile, which I love. I have gone with several of my coworkers, so she might recognize me, but really, I just think she is friendly. Either way, she makes me So far, I've ordered the kimbap, the bibimbap, the kimchi pancake, the tteokbokki and the rice juice. I've also tried a bite of the japchae. Everything was good home cooking style, which I like when it comes to lunch. For me, it's a place where I feel welcomed and can grab a quick no frills bite. It is the perfect place for lunch. I will definitely come back. I am glad that this place is here. read more

This is the BEST Korean food in Downtown LA. The family that runs it is so sweet. I came here with 9 of my friends from Colburn music camp and they accommodated us with no problem. I had the beef bulgogi combo bowl and it was so delicious for a good price. I came back the next night with 5 others, and got the spicy chicken plate; it was very spicy but so good. I'd recommend getting two rice bowls with that one. The food didn't take long to come out even with 10 people, and everyone was satisfied with their orders. Some of my friends and I were speaking Korean with the lady, and she was very supportive and nice to us learning. Overall a very good and fun experience, would definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

This is a fairly new restaurant in DTLA. It's a cute Korean lunch spot. They are also open for dinner. There is room for indoor dining also. The workers are extremely friendly, even though they were busy answering the phone, preparing orders, ringing up customers, etc. They still stopped to greet you and were patient to explain the different items on the menu. I ordered the Spicy Pork cupbap. It's a decent size, with a layer of rice on the bottom, covered with a healthy portion of spicy pork, salad, kimchi and pickled veggies. They also have a pseudo instant ramen bar. You select the package of ramen you want, and the worker will place it into an instant bowl of hot water and will add any fixings as you order. Please stop by this place. The owners are nice and friendly. They're on the corner of Spring/2nd St. Across from the Historic Broadway MTA stop. read more

Went here for lunch during my time on Superior Court jury service. Got the lunch special - bowl of ramen and half order of gimbap. Added egg and mushroom to the ramen, and everything was very filling and tasty. Good service and cozy atmosphere - much quieter than going to Grand Central Market. Reasonable prices and they also have plugs for laptops and chargers. Recommended. read more

Such nice staff! $7.99 kimbap and a make your own ramen corner? Home style cooking. Definitely would come here if I'm in the area. Such a great alternative for the area especially for those folks doing jury duty or going to the Disney Concert Hall. Very fast and affordable option. Meter parking in front but I had no problem finding parking. I found out the chef used to be the head chef for Sun Dong Nan. read more
