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! read more

Jumsim - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. 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

Jumsim - Chicken Bulgogi Cupbap. Happiness in a golden bowl. - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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

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

First time trying this place and we'll definitely be back! It's a small, cozy lunch spot run by a Korean couple. The wife runs the front of the house and the husband and two other workers are in the kitchen. I ordered the Kimchi fried rice with chicken and my friend had the lunch special spicy chicken bowl which came with two fried mandu, salad and pickled cucumber. We also shared the Kimchi pancake, which I really enjoyed, it was thin and crispy, some places make it too thick. Everything was delicious and cleaned my plate.

I've been working downtown for about a year and have tired of Grand Central fare and have walked past this spot on my way to Cherry Pick. I have never had Korean food specifically, and definitely not the items by name on the menu. I walked in just after opening, and the restaurant is very clean with a dozen or so tables. I was happily greeted with smiles from the two people working there, most likely the owners - there were not kids behind the counter. I ordered the Beef Bulgogi Rice Bowl Combo - about a safe a bet as you can get. It was ready in about ten minutes, and I got it to go, but would have found it a nice place to sit and stay if I were in a group. I was pleased with the combo meal and will definitely go back for lunch and try something a little more out of my comfort zone. I rated it a five, and I think for a small location, surviving in downtown, the quality, ambiance, and service are right up there at a 4.5, so I rounded up. While I don't have anything to compare it to, I felt like I was treated well and got my money's worth for a good lunch. read more
