Amazing food and bar! The staff were very pleasant. Awesome music and store. Would definitely come back again.

Updated (more detailed) review~ Stumbled upon this spot when my friends and I were looking for a place to just hangout and chill. Noticed that this place offers snacks, drinks and alcohol, we immediately decided to check it out. Parking: It's a plaza, there was parking when I arrived but I assume this can get packed during rush hours. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor. It was so adorable right when we walked in, they had Christmas decorations. Inside: Plenty of space! Tables and chairs, pool table, foosball, chess, a guitar and piano you can actually use! ALSO, they have karaoke rooms! I have yet to try but that excites me already! The food: Food options are great for either a simple dinner, or casual drinking with friends, you'll definitely find something that hits the spot. There's also a ramen station, counter with many options for snacks, candies, ice cream, drinks, and chips! And last but not the least, the owner is super welcoming and hospitable. Told her I have a friend that's celebrating her birthday and she prepared a nice way to greet her and we all sang together. SO, I brought another friend celebrating their birthday to this place to experience how nice and lovely the owner and the staff are. I will definitely come back, I must try the karaoke as well! read more

Service: If you want good service, I do not recommend coming here. She was nice the first couple of times, but after my third visit, her attitude completely changed. On my third visit, I asked for a banana latte, but I pointed to the Banana Americano on the menu. I mistakenly said "latte" because I assumed that was the one with coffee. She gave me a blended drink with no coffee. I politely asked if she could remake it, and she immediately gave me a lot of attitude. She told me, "Don't you see I'm super busy? Figure out what you're going to do," and said she wasn't going to remake it because it was my fault for saying it wrong. I apologized and explained that I had pointed to the drink I wanted, but she didn't care. I even mentioned that I've brought customers to her before, and she responded with, "I don't care." She raised her voice at me in front of the whole shop, saying she wasn't in the wrong. I stayed calm and tried to explain my situation, and after speaking to her three times, she finally remade the drink. It is disappointing that it took that many times for her to do it. I've never been to a shop that has treated me this bad over a drink. I never gave her attitude, but she did the entire time. For an owner, this was extremely unprofessional and uncomfortable. That same day, I brought a friend for her first visit, and even she felt uncomfortable and told me we should never come back. I won't be returning after this experience. (Also, I'm not the only one who's been confused by the menu. Someone on Yelp posted the Banana Americano under the name "Banana Latte." The menu really needs to be clearer because it's confusing for customers.) Food: They sell a bulgogi bowl that is really good, but honestly it's not worth the $16 price tag. The drinks are very basic, and I haven't found one I liked. I've tried three: the Banana Americano, Ube, and Banana Latte, and they were all pretty bad. The only one I could manage to drink was the Banana Americano, and even then, compared to other shops, it tastes very artificial and not like real banana. ( she uses boxed banana milk) The Ube drink was also very grainy. Ambiance: The place itself is cute and fun with lots of gaming options, which makes the bad service even more disappointing. read more

K Zone Cafeteria - Banana LATTE - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I like the concept of this place, it's a good hangout spot if you want something casual and eye-catchy. They have a lot of snacks and drinks for sale and some small kitchen stuff. Prices are expected for Ktown, a bit high. Definitely for the younger crowd; the setup is cute like a cafe with a mix of random themes, however nothing wrong with being middle aged getting some catch-up time with friends if you don't like crowded cafes or smashing sojus. Don't come here if you want a big meal or something gourmet. Come here if you want to hang out without being at a loud soju bar. They have a piano in the middle and if someone is playing, it can overwhelm the entire place. I might not recommend coming here if you want a quiet and serene time if someone is playing. The toast sandwich is pretty good, but they put hella sugar on it. I'd still recommend it, but ask for less sugar. read more

This is honestly my favorite place and I've been here 4 times already! My sister and I have brought different group of friends and they all loved the vibe and how nice the owner Alice is. She already considers us as family I love how there are multiple things to do like play the piano, guitar, play chess, billiards, and even foosball table. The food is amazing! We got the grilled pork which was actually spicy pork bulgogi which was not too spicy but really good. We cooked our own ramen which was such a fun experience and also got tuna kimbap! We're gonna keep coming back here cause the vibe is amazing and it's such a chill place. Oh and I keep coming back for the banana latte since it's my favorite read more

This is the coziest place in all of K-town! Honestly if you're looking for a third location to do some studying, catching up with friends, or even wanting to do something late at night, this is the spot! They have a great menu with an awesome selection of instant ramen and snacks. I definitely feel like I'm back in Korea getting some goodies at a convenience store late at night when I'm here. On top of everything- the service is incredible! Make sure to stop by and greet Alice, she's the sweetest woman ever! Come on down and support a local spot and stay for the vibes! read more

I only put one star because I cannot put a 0/5. The place is beautiful, setting, activity, and snack-wise. However, the boss was incredibly rude. I ordered food and was eating while doing my university work on a study date with my sister-in-law, and she told us it was bad and wrong that she did not order anything too. She said they need to pay rent. Girl... we were the only customers in there, how are you going to be incredibly rude to the only people paying to be in your business? Do not recommend at all. Smh I wish I loved it, but the service was not the only problem. The overpriced $9 dumplings I payed for 6 pieces tasted sour, like funky, they were very likely frozen. All the food there is snacks priced at meal prices. This plushie was cute though. Don't waste your time though.. unless management locks in soon and realizes that their service and hospitality pays rent. read more

Super underrated hangout spot. The food consists of great snack foods and they even have Soju. Staff is also super chill.

This place is incredible and adorable. We stumbled across here on our way to dinner (when looking for a snack) and loved it so much we came back after dinner for noraebang. It's so unassuming-- hidden up a staircase on the second floor of the plaza-- but so much fun. They have all the Korean food you'd want (including the ramyeon machine you've seen all over Tik Tok), beer/soju/makgeolli, games and more. It's a great place to just chill and catch up with your friends, without the klurb vibes that other spots have. It's like the neighborhood hang that you've seen on your fav Netflix kdrama. The owners are also, so so kind. I've spent many, many weeks exploring every nook and cranny of Ktown and K-Zone totally stands out. 사장님들이 너무너무 친절하셔서 감사했어요. 어젯밤은 정말 기억에 남았어요 read more

I want to gatekeep this place because I don't want it to get super busy, but I also want them to stay in business forever because I love them so much so I'm writing a review because they deserve it. The interior is done up in such a cute way, with tons of snacks and little activities to do. We got their rice bowls, musubis, ramen, and kimbap with some drinks and the ladies were so sweet and gave us some little jellies to try. Everything was very simple but filling and satisfying. We were the only ones in there for quite a while because we came on a Monday night, but it was great because we got to hang out freely. Their alcohol is priced super fairly and they even have karaoke rooms! I don't think the rooms had AC so they got pretty hot, but they were spacious and the music system was loud. It was our first time coming tonight and the owner didn't even charge us for the 2+ hours of karaoke we did because she said it was our first time which was so sweet of her!! We were fully expecting to pay and wouldn't have even minded because the room charge rate was only $40 per hour. Parking was free and there was no valet at 7pm on Monday - not sure if that's typically the case but we had no issues finding a spot which is rare for Ktown. I really loved my experience here and we stayed for over 4 hours just having a fun time. Everybody here is so sweet and I'm bringing all my friends next time. Please come here and tip well! read more

Thanks to Yelp, I discovered this amazing Korean-owned business. I have been coming here 1x/week after my personal training/physical therapy sessions in KTown (45m-1hr drive from home). 5 weeks consistently. The food is delicious (bulgogi rice bowl), tuna kimbap, spam masubi/kimbap, tanghulu). I have wanted to make ramen here from their self service bar, but I've been trying to eat less ramen to minimize my carbs The owner of this business (Alice) made me feel at home from the first visit, and she goes above and beyond to make sure you're enjoying yourself. The vibe inside is very cozy, with semi dimmed lights that allow you to study/read/use your computer and/or eat/hang out with friends or family. The music playlist is always on point also, so you won't be disappointed. They have a pool table, a piano, a lot of sitting area, a bar area with bar stools to sit on. They serve Korean snack foods and meals, as well as coffee/lattes, tea and soju. They have been open for a couple of months (2+) and are highly deserving of more support. Please stop by, and tell Alice I sent you! read more

Great place to study! I wasn't a bit distracted by anything because I had my headphones on & got right in the zone. The food was yummy and I enjoyed the banana coffee a lot! Very sweet and attentive kind lady running the place. She made sure to make her rounds and checked on me often to see if I needed anything else. It's a great place to get together and hang out with friends for leisure or business . read more

After one visit, I think I have found my go to place to eat and relax. I wish I got her name but there was this beautifully kind and helpful lady who explained a lot of the menu to me and recommended their banana coffee drink, I think it was called a bananacano. Im not a big fan of sweet coffee, but this was perfect not too sweet or milky. The interior is really cool and unique. You wont find many other places like this, lots of cool things to look at and kpop playing in background. I was shocked there wasn't a lot of people. read more

The owner of the establishment was rude to my friend because we kept telling her we would order something later, even after she repeatedly asked why we weren't ordering anything. We promised her we would buy something later, but she assumed we were simply going to stay there and not buy anything. At the end, my friend purchased a bag of chips, and we decided to leave. We had visited this place several times before without any issues until now. It was a very unpleasant experience for us. We're never coming back here. In addition, the snacks they sell are more expensive than those on the market. read more

The ajjimas were very accommodating as we came in around 10:45pm and the upstairs area closes at midnight ( she let us stay a little longer after midnight). She gave us a free snack bag with our soju and food purchase. Boys played pool us girls gossiped. The butter squid, kimchi pancake, and spicy rice cake is what we ordered and it was delicious. Also, ordered 2 iced americanos that the ajjima makes in house. The store has a piano inside and lots of Korean snacks. Recommend coming in here for drinks and late night snacks. read more

Concept is incredible; feels like a more intimate version of Round One, complete with drinks, soju, pool, karaoke and even music instruments and a whole ramen bar! They are pretty short-staffed so it can take some time to get food, however. Owner is very nice and accommodating. read more

Just whatever. There's no one there so you get the place to yourself most of the time. The food is whatever. I had tteokbbokki and it was ok. They kept saying the food is good but honestly, as a Korean, it was underwhelming. A bit disappointing. It's not like they give you a large portion either. Customer service is decent. They try to be nice but it's rushed. You can't go wrong with soju so if you're in the area and want to pay triple price to get out of the house you just drink soju, this might work for you. read more

It's good but expensive not that good for just food and doesnt fill you up at all i went to get pizza after cause i was still hungry but good with friends the lady was rude though honestly she treated the people korean better than others and was inpatient with the customers and she told me when i was playing pool there is a limit and let others play no one even wanted to play pool at the time and i wasnt playing on it much a group of koreans were on it way more and she didnt say anything honestly this bastard is disgusting dont come here even read more

Awesome and whimsical little place. Perfect for fun time with family and friends with some good eats. The setup and decor both vibrant and clean. They have play areas, pool table, hockey table, a ramen bar, karaoke rooms, patio, made to order kitchen, and a coffee/adult beverage bar. There even a piano and acoustic guitar for all the musicians that wanna mess around if they come in. We all had fun with the karaoke rooms. All the service staff that we came in contact with was absolutely top tier and fantastic. The gentleman who was working the bar was a consummate professional and super friendly, his name was Alan. Standout employee. Order the spicy Korean pork bowl with soup and a yuzu lemonade. Hands down a perfect meal. The pork was perfectly cooked and just the right amount of heat and slight sweetness. Served with rice and a side salad to cut through the richness of the dish. The soup was light and delicious. The drink super refreshing. Will definitely be back when in the area. read more

SUPER RACIST! The lady working the counter ignored me, looked me up and down, and spoke to me in a rude, aggressive way while I was reading the menu. She and another customer openly talked about me in their language while staring the entire time. It was obvious, uncomfortable, and humiliating. I felt clearly racially profiled and unwelcome, like if you're not Asian or white, you don't belong here. read more

second and last experience-- not so great. Came here with 3 people to study and we were told by the manager while ordering our drinks that next time there would be an additional $10 fee for our group to sit there, even if we bought drinks. The cafeteria wasn't busy at all (only 2 tables occupied in a large space), so the policy felt confusing and unnecessary. I asked why and she replied back, " I have to pay rent and electricity". If that's the case, they should plaster their policies at the front before catching the customer off guard. Feels unwelcoming. With so many other cafés around Koreatown, policies like this would probably just push customers to go elsewhere (like us). read more

This place is cool as heck. It's on the 2nd floor of a small plaza above a photo store. It's a welcoming and vibrant space full of seating, snacks, drinks and activities. I spent part of my b-day here w my friend and we just chilled, played some pool and chatted for a while. The workers were super nice and recommended a bananacano, which was a great choice. It was a banana flavored americano. I'm really happy k-zone exists and is a welcoming and fun 3rd space. I hope to return and try the ramyun and karaoke. Wishing this place success and everyone who visits good times and warm memories. read more
