    Spicy chicken bowl
    Tenetria W.

    OMG--I can't believe I just discovered this place, and I'm about to move out of LA! Bann is a small, super cute spot that's perfect for a quick dine-in meal or grabbing something to go. The service is fast--I didn't have to wait long at all for my order, which is always a plus. I've ordered from Bann twice now--once through DoorDash and today for carryout. The first time, I got the spicy chicken bowl with extra chicken. It was so good! I wish it had a little more kick, but the flavor was on point--even when I reheated it the next day. Solid 10/10. Today, I tried the beef bulgogi with extra beef, and wow--Bann nailed it! The flavor and texture were perfect. I love that sweet bulgogi flavor, and they really delivered. I would say there were a few too many onions for my taste, but still a strong 9/10. The only downside for me is the white rice--it's a bit too mushy and clumpy. But honestly, that's a small thing compared to how tasty everything else has been. I'll definitely be back at least once more before I leave in two weeks!

    The place is small, yet nice, tucked away in DTLA. The service is always polite (it's my second visit), and the food is good. My coworkers split a bulgogi sandwich and they loved it. I enjoyed my chicken as well. Had a great flavor. I myself like crunchy chicken even when it's sauced up. They nailed it. I'm a man of color and they know how to do chicken! Lol. If you ever need a quick bite to eat for lunch, this is a great place for you!

    Kimchi Grilled Cheese
    Kay Y.

    Food is so delicious and the owners are always very sweet as well. Def give this spot a try! Love the soy garlic chicken it's so crispy can't go wrong with the sauce either. Felt adventurous and tried beef grilled cheese today and it was good! I normally opt for the kimchi grilled cheese but the beef wasn't bad!

    Garlic pork belly platter
    Amber S.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon and was able to order and sit down immediately. We got the beef bulgogi sandwich for ~$15, garlic pork belly platter for ~$25, mochi cheese balls for ~$10, and passionfruit berry tea for ~$5. Everything was amazing! The bulgogi sandwich was probably the best value and was fresh and flavorful with a good balance of textures. The pork belly portion size was generous, and we loved the garlic taste and that they mixed in green beans and mushrooms. The side dishes were pretty much what you would expect. The mochi cheese balls were probably the worst value (they give you 4) but very unique so I felt they were worth trying. They kind of reminded me of a mix of the sesame covered mochi balls with red bean filling and a pao de queijo. Fruit tea was refreshing and delicious! The server was really nice. We would love to come back!

    The owner has always so lovely. I've neverrrr had bad food here.. And the shop is quite homey. I literally always recommend people to get the bulgogi sandwich if they like fusion food... I would say it's the star of the menu. Everyone I take there end up going back with friends with their own :)) Parking is tough but it's downtown LA so expected. If you're here on the weekend, give them a visit because the owner said it gets really slow on the weekend.

    I love how clean and empty the inside was, though seating is limited if you come with more people. They have good food options, self-serve water, and a variety of sauces and drinks. I tried the banana coffee, it was fun to try, but I wouldn't get it again. The beef bulgogi sandwich was great, but the braised beef grilled cheese was the star. Absolutely delicious on sourdough with the sauce. The strawberry drink was also incredibly fresh and tasty. I'd go back just for that grilled cheese. Parking can be a hassle, but the food makes up for it.

    Beef bulgogi sandwich

    Looking for a new dish to try via delivery, I found the beef bulgogi sandwich from KitchenBann. At roughly $15 at the time for this review, I found it to be a good value pending the flavor and size. Upon receiving the sandwich, I found that the size is slightly larger than average for with a good balance of beef to the other toppings. The flavor was outstanding! A great blend of the bulgogi sauce to the avocado and other vegetables made this sandwich so delicious. I would definitely buy 2 for a big lunch for a future order!!

    Beef Bulgogi Sandwich and Yuzu KFC

    Food was amazing, service was polite and friendly, and the place clean and cozy. Definitely a must try I recommend the bulgogi sandwich and the KFC any flavor all are good

    Sweet and spicy boneless fried chicken.
    Frank H.

    This is my second time eating from this location. I had the Bulgogi Bowl and the sweet and spicy chicken. As you can see from the pictures, you do get a nice portion of rice, veggies and the bulgogi. Which has a good flavor. Nothing amazing that brings me to my knees and gives me a revelation. It's fine. Fine enough that I would come back to eat that. The real winner is the sweet and spicy boneless Korean fried chicken. That side alone is delicious and worth it. I didn't see anything on the menu that includes this item as part of the bowl but they should make a rice bowl with this chicken as the main ingredient and some veggies. For the price it is not bad at all. I would recommend this place for some pretty good Korean rice bowls and I would come back again. Pretty solid spot for the money.

    Stopped by here to have a nice homestyle meal . I called ahead to ensure the order would be ready. It took about 15 minutes and it was ready by the time I got there. I had the shredded beef galbi and it was quite a large portion. I had enough for lunch and dinner. The staff was so nice and friendly. Looking forward to coming back again to try other dishes.

    Beef Bulgogi Rice Bowl

    Friendly cashier, very welcoming and nice. The food is delicious!! I enjoyed every bite, which left me wanting more:0 I will definitely come back to try more items from their menu:D Beef Bulgogi Rice Bowl with a fried egg: 10/10

    This is a little hidden gem for sure!!! I ordered the Braised Beef Grilled Cheese and it was probably one of the best I've had. The beef had amazing flavor, was super tender and was paired with an amazing sauce. My girlfriend ordered the Bulgogi Beef bowl and she loved it. The restaurant is small but, there is one large table that can seat about 6. I would highly recommend trying this place. I can't wait to come back, their service was also excellent!

    Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken

    A restaurant has to be either very good or very bad for me to leave a review and I can not explain enough how amazing this place is. If I could get it everyday, I would. It's quick, fair priced and taste amazing. The sweet and spicy KFC is out of this world. 10/10 recommend

My friend and I always said we need to try new restaurants but fail every time because we always ended up craving Marugame Monzo. They literally have the best cream udon in my opinion! They got the ratio RIGHHTTTT!! It's creamy but not crazy creamy that all you taste is heavy cream. I can taste the flavor from the protein!! The hand crafted udon noodles always cooked to perfection with the perfect texture. The noodles soaked up the sauce up so well!! I have tried different cream udon dishes here - the famous sea urchin cream udon, the carbonara udon, the mentai cream udon, the butter squid udon, etc... My fav would definitely be the mentai cream udon, as you get lots of yummy seafood (shrimps and scallops) in the sauce. The butter squid cream udon is also really good as well!! I like to pair my cream udon with a side of chicken karage!! I really like the batter that they use for the chicken! It's crunchy and airy and very well seasoned!! Service has always been amazing! You get seated fairly quickly and the staff are super attentive! They always check up on you to see how you are doing. The restaurant is small and they make the best of the space they have. I like the glass window/bar area where you can see the chef make the udon noodles!!

Food wasn't good. Nothing stood out to me except for the salad. For starters we were suppose to have two different salads but without apologies a waitress simply brought out a small bowl of cucumber slices stating they ran out of the other salad. No comp or no discussion on an alternative where I was charged full prefix price. It was disappointing since I wanted to try their salads and that was the best part of their entire prefix and only dish we actually finished. For Steak and eggs entree, they never asked how I would've like the steak cooked and they brought it medium, which we did not touch since it was too bloody for my liking. The deserts were all underwhelming also including meringue, tart and chocolate mousse. I got sliders for my kid who loves a good cheese burger but she didn't eat it either. Also having fries with burgers would've been nice and I was surprised she got two small sliders with no fries. Usually sliders and chicken tenders are always served with fries. Esp for children. Service was okay initially but towards end I had to keep looking for waiter trying to ask for things since again end of day I felt workers were busy closing out and not as much attention was paid to guests still left. Ambiance was okay. It was farther than I thought near Chinatown than my usual west LA options. To me it's about experience, taste and quality time but given price point and culinary experience I had for Mother's Day prefix, I do not want to dine again at this restaurant.

I had placed a phone order, for pick up; upon arrival, I found the service was prompt. I saw my food ready to go, just past the main walk-in area. Almost immediately after that, I was taken care of by the host and on my way. I've been waiting to try this place for ages so on the drive back to work I was excited to steal a piece of meat from the bag. Initial bite flavor was good, meat was tender just a bit on the chewy side.. I wasn't bothered by it too much as I'd have to leave it in an oven warmer at work. Trying to keep food warm, in doing so, I knew there'd be only two possible outcomes, melting tender or either tough & dry. So, the dish of meat and rice sat in the warmer for almost an hour hour and a half. The downhill slope.... Set the "meat " on the veggies and began to eat. Meat after meat, I kept experiencing the same exact texture. It was the same exact rubbery chew, I initially tasted. Each and every piece was the same exact flavor. There was no peak, there was no pitfall. If you cook or grill, you know this is a red flag. Normally, consistency would be a good thing, a Master craftsman type experience, but this was NOT it. As go on, I get the sinking feeling, this can't be real meat. I lock in, the deeper I dig, each piece looks the same, broken apart the same, tastes the same, just various shapes. They can call me crazy for this one - I'll stand by it. Something is not right here. I'm not even going to throw it away. I'm going to study it for the next few days and post an updated review. I hope I'm wrong but as of right now, I'll never revisit this place. Too freaky of an experience. We
