First time here. We had the bon chon and it was good. The highlight was the Shrimp Rosé Pasta. We both ordered that. I haven't had pasta like that since Asia. It was very enjoyable. The chicken wings were good, but I wasn't wow'd by them The service was great. The constantly checked on us and were quite helpful. Overall a fun and tasty experience, just know that you will be hearing K-Pop in your dreams after this. read more

Louders - Shrimp Rosé Pasta - Asian Fusion Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The food here is delicious, kimchi pancake was soo yummy! The wings were great too, but we wish the portions were larger given the price point. Would love to try some of the other dishes. We visited on a Saturday right at opening, and there was no line - but because it's not a big space so I can imagine it would be crowded during evenings. Service was good as well, our food came out very quickly. The parking lot in front of the restaurant is only valet, but was on the affordable end when I visited. read more

YUM! This place packs a punch in terms of vibes and food. It's quite loud and crammed inside, but in a way that has a good energy. I ordered and enjoyed the $12 Kimchi Steak Tacos. You get two tacos but I made four from the extra tortillas haha. They piled on the steak! They were delish. I also tried the Sausage and rice cake skewer. Kind of not much for $5 but still yummy. And their fries and perfect! Thin, crispy, an spicy with Cajun seasoning. Friendly servers but you can tell they're all really busy during dinner service! read more

Now, visitors be mindful, parking is definitely L.A. parking, but insiders note, you can pull up to their parking lot and do their valet for a very affordable price. I'm not going to sugar coat it, it's a very cozy spot, so I wouldn't recommend this place for a large group. Service is good and waiters are helpful and friendly. What makes up for a small parking lot and place, is the food full of flavor! Everything was so good. My absolute favorite was the udon kimchi carbonara and the Honey Nutty Butter wings. I'll come back for those two dishes alone! read more

Louders is fun, and filled with so much cheese omg. It's in K town so parking is rough, but it is what it is. We ordered the Brussel sprouts, wings, the garlic Parmesan fries, the corn cheese and the Booldak with Cheese (like I said, lots of cheese). The corn cheese was probably my favorite thing. I could eat that over and over. And the wings were delectable. I wish we ordered more! The fries got cold really quickly, but had a good flavor. The Brussel sprouts were a great accompaniment, very solid sprouts. Obviously the star was the Booldak with Cheese. The cheese was extremely melty, the chicken was marinated perfectly, and the tator tots under the chicken were a nice surprise. I didn't find the chicken spicy at all, my friends did though. It's a casual spot, not too big of a location. Gets busy at lunch for sure! But service was quick and friendly! read more

Came yesterday (Sunday) at 7:30pm & there was no wait for 2 people Ordered the Booldak with cheese & a side of fries (total about $60 not including tip) The booldak ($50) was good but if you're not familiar with Korean food, you wouldn't know it's chicken since it doesn't say it on the menu. The flavor was really good but I would pass on the fries. The fries tasted like in-n-out & has little salt There's no free parking if there's none on the street, you can valet in the parking lot for $5 It's more of a late night spot to drink & eat so it's very loud inside. If I come back, I would want to try the wings read more

Let me tell you something... Koreatown stays surprising me. You ever walk into a place and immediately know you're about to have a good time? That was me at this little spot called Louder. Small, cozy, K-pop playing in the background, videos on the screen -- I felt like I walked into a whole vibe, not just a restaurant. Now let's talk about the food because BABY... this is where things got interesting. It's like Italian and Korean had a baby and said, "let's show off." We ordered like we had no home training -- chicken wings (fire), kimchi (of course), steak tacos (yes, tacos in Koreatown, stay with me), rice cakes, a chicken plate, Brussels sprouts, AND kimchi pasta. I know... kimchi pasta sounds like a risk, but trust me, it's the kind of decision that changes your life for the better.Everything was hitting. Not one plate sat there looking sad. You know it's good when the table goes quiet for a minute? Yeah... that kind of good.And in between bites, I'm watching K-pop videos like I'm at a mini concert. Honestly, dinner and a show. I didn't even realize how long we were there because it just felt fun the whole time.This place is small but mighty. Big flavors, good energy, and one of those spots you accidentally fall in love with.Koreatown, you did your thing again. I'll definitely be back. read more

Service is awesome. The staff is very attentive, kind and welcoming. Also I would come back just for the udon carbonara itself. So creamy and comforting!! The chili garlic wings were also delicious, perfectly crispy on outside and juicy inside. Kimchi spam fried rice was okay but nothing special. This would be a great spot to hang out with a group of friends and drink too!! read more

Wow! I am really impressed with this place and so happy it's open late. Our server Alex was super knowledgeable about the menu and gave us good insights on what he recommended and took his time with us and still had good energy even towards the end of the night. We got the Louders fries, elote corn, pasta carbonara and spicy garlic half chicken. We are definitely going to be coming back for the pasta carbonara it was so creamy and flavorful of garlic. We were there towards closing time and they were still very packed.. they started blasting the air and in the middle of eating we took the rest of our food to go read more

Always a favorite spot for me to go when I visit LA and hang with friends. It's an authentic korean bar vibe, with kpop playing in the background, not too loud to have a conversation. The food is delicious, my go-to is the kimchi udon carbonara. The sauce is so delicious that I always take it to go to eat with rice or some more noodles at home. Didn't order it this time but the sizzling chicken buldak is delicious and spicy and fun to share. Service is always friendly and attentive and the complimentary sides are nice. Love pickled radish with my wings. read more

Louders - Kimchi Udon Carbonara, Shrimp Rosé Pasta, Fried Chicken Wings(Chili Garlic) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Honestly, this is probably one of my favorite pochas in K-town, period. I came here once in 2022 and I went again in 2026 on new year's day and the food is simply amazing. The kimchi udon carbonara is just amazing - I really need the recipe to this dish because it's just such so creamy without being too much. The service here was stellar too, waiters were super attentive. We even got lemons to pair with our soju. Overall I love this establishment and the cozy interior, would definitely come back again someday if I'm in LA. read more

Been wanting to check out Louders for a while and finally got the chance to understand the hype. Food was WAY better than expected! We were pretty surprised by how good the pastas were especially since this was a pub. The chicken wings were so CRISPY and well seasoned too! It was a little hard to flag down a worker a few times for some things, but the overall experience was good! We will be coming back. read more

Our party of 4 decided to eat at Louders for late lunch on a Saturday afternoon and we were thankfully seated immediately. I can definitely see this place getting more busy for dinner. We ubered here from our hotel but I see that the parking lot was pretty busy. Lots of TVs along the walls. Mostly 4 to 6 person tables. The inside was very bar-like. Booldak with Cheese ($49): choice of spicy levels between mild to extra hot. I love spicy food but unfortunately I was the only one in my party that enjoyed spice so we opted for mild to share with the group. I asked if there was any way that we're able to put more spice on the side but they said it's a marinade that would have to be cooked in. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the dish with its flavorful chicken and cheese. They torch the cheese at your table and it was entertaining to watch! Kimchi Bacon Udon Carbonara + add garlic bread toast ($24 + $1): sooo creamy and delicious! The plate looked small but I had leftovers. Would definitely order again. Overall, I would come back to Louders if I lived closer! read more

Best bar to do a Kimchi Bacon Udon Carbonara! I had this once during covid era to go n its as good as I remember it here in the big '25. Sauce is orange asf and portion size is LARGE. Paid ~25 and it fed 2 ppl. Bonchon is to die for, super flavorful salad, cucumber n peppers Ambiance is homey, glowy, and very sociable. Should def come back to drink. That being said, service time is a lil absurd n slow. A table of 4 came in after me n my gf and got two of their orders before we did. Since its a bar on halloween we didn't mind too much but def come in with a lil bit of patience read more

A real hole-in-the-wall gem we always recommend to out-of-town guests. Usually 5 for us, but this time 4 because I tried a new menu item--the stir-fried mixed seafood with udon. At $38, the portion was big with lots of seafood (esp. clams), but one clam was like chewing on a rock . They kindly only charged half, so that made up for it. Our must-order is the Mentaiko pasta--even my picky younger one who hates seafood smell loves it! When hungry, we each get our own. Shrimp is always crispy & fresh (though smaller this time). Hubby's fave is the Kimchi taco, but it came without kimchi this round . And if you're craving real Korean fried chicken, don't forget to order the whole chicken! read more

After spending the morning in Korea town, we planned to grab lunch at Louders. My stepdaughter was craving their Mentaiko garlic pasta and their signature Spicy Bacon Udon Carbonara. We had both of those along with some calamari appetizers, fried chicken wings, and kim chee tacos. The pasta dishes were delicious, but also very rich, so the spicy kim chee tacos helped to cut thru all that richness. The Mentaiko pasta came with two shrimp, which were good, but came with shell on and weren't cleaned, so be aware to either clean then or be ready for some grit. The Udon Carbonara was our favorite and we cleaned it off, along with pretty much everything else. Louders is definitely a popular spot, with almost all of the 10 tables full by 1pm; with many of them on their second turn. Very helpful servers and good food, is a good reason to have valet only parking in a tight lot. A definite go-to spot in Korea town. read more

Came to Louders late at night and it hit the spot. True to their name, they were blasting Kpop music/videos and it's a pretty cool pocha. We ordered the kimchi udon carbonara, fish cake soup, and bulgogi. Surprisingly my favorite was the fish cake soup. The valet was a bit annoying, because we paid, they parked the car right in front of us, then handed back the keys. The valet guy also walked into the restaurant and approached each table to hand back keys which was a bit odd during dinner. Other than that, would love to try more from their menu! read more

This is the best place to go if you're with your friends and just looking for a place to drink and eat along with great vibes. I came on a weekend night with a party of four and only had a slight 10 minute wait. The service was really good as well; there were a lot of servers around so it was really easy to flag one down and ask a quick question or place your order. Considering it was a busy weekend night, I was very impressed with the quality of the service! Great selection of Korean dishes that are paired with an excellent variety of draft beers. Our group ordered a pitcher of Blue Moon and coupled it with sooo much good food. One of their most iconic items is their buldak with cheese. It's quite simply spicy chicken with cheese, but there is a small surprise of tater tots and ddukboki layered around the chicken as well! As someone who loves tater tots, I was very happy given the chance to dip it with the cheese. They also bring a blowtorch to light up the cheese at your table! Our group was also a huge fan of the kimchi bacon udon carbonara. There is an option to add garlic bread too, which I highly recommend! We also got a korean army stew (listed as G.I. Korean Soup). This is a solid item that my group always orders at korean places like this, but we were slightly disappointed by the size as we were expecting a bigger pot. Lastly, we ordered a variety of the cajun seafood! To be honest, we ordered SO much food that we didn't really eat too much of the seafood. We could've honestly gone without the seafood boil items but we were really hungry lol. read more

I've been to Louders a few times but am only just getting to write this review now! Between their food, service, and ability to accommodate a large party while retaining the quality of both food and service (there were 9 of us!), they deserve the full five stars. They're usually super busy, especially on weekends, and the restaurant gets LOUD. They do a good job with managing the crowd, and it was surprisingly painless to get a big table. We ordered arguably too much food, but the standouts were the Stir-Fried Baby Octopus and Pork Belly, the Uni Pasta, the Kimchi Bacon Udon Carbonara, and their Vietnamese Chili Butter Wings. Everything is a shareable size - though a very hungry and focused person could probably solo the uni pasta. You could definitely share 1-2 plates with two people, or 3 with 4 people, especially if you're ordering things like the octopus and pork belly or the chicken booldak with cheese. Stir fried baby octopus and pork belly was the perfect mix of spicy, umami, crispy, and tender. I couldn't stop eating that or the uni pasta, which was creamy and perfectly cooked. The kimchi bacon udon carbonara was delicious, but I think the uni pasta was better. Still, it was fabulous and rich and very unctuous. I think the bacon makes it verge on a little too salty. But goodness, it's so good. I'm also big on Korean fried chicken, and I love the wings here. I usually get soy garlic (and we did today as well) but I have to say, the Vietnamese Chili Butter flavor was even better. The combo of nuoc mam and thai chilis is ADDICTING on the crispy, juicy chicken. We also got the chicken booldak, which was very yummy, cheesy, and potatoey, but I would pick the baby octopus/pork belly between the two. The bulgogi is also delicious, but a little tough tonight (it's usually bang-on). Both were good, but not the best thing on the table. The cajun shrimp was decent, but I probably won't get it again unless we're doing a hard commit to a seafood boil combo moment. Fries are good, but get them cajun spiced. Calamari is good. Parking sucks - valet only but at least it's $5. It gets PACKED though. We came on a Friday night around 7pm. TL;DR: You can't go wrong here, but especially not if you pick the baby octopus/pork belly, and the uni pasta. I know I'll be back for them. read more

One thing about Louders that I really appreciate is their wide selection of items on their menu! There's always something for everyone! Came in on a Friday night around 6PM, and surprisingly, there was no wait! Right after we order, we are given complimentary Pickled Radish and Coleslaw with Honey Mustard. My thoughts on the items I ordered: Kimchi Udon Carbonara: The sauce was creamy and spicy and coated the chewy udon noodles very well. Green onions and seaweed are sprinkled on top. There's also bits and pieces of pancetta and onion in the sauce. My only wish is that they gave more pieces of meat! 8.5/10 Soy Garlic Chicken Wings: great blend of sweet and savory flavors. I wish it came with some sort of sauce though! 7.5/10 Corn Cheese: Tasted good, but nothing really stood out! Also, $16 for that mid-sized portion is kind of crazy! I can definitely make something similar at home for cheaper. Skippable item for sure! 7.5/10 Parking is very convenient because they offer valet in the plaza for $5. Service was great, but the wait time for food took about almost 15 minutes. Nevertheless, a very solid spot to get authentic Korean food! read more

Highly recommend. - Kimchi Pancake with Pork Belly: Another hit! So good and the sauce that comes with it to dip is yum. - Booldak w Cheese: Delissssh! - Fried Chicken Wings: Can't go wrong with any of the flavors! It's a great place to drink, catch up with friends, dine solo, anything! Quick service and unlimited radish and side salad. read more

Wow, my first meal of my LA trip was at Louders and it did not disappoint! I was most excited for the fried chicken wings. I got the Vietnamese butter chili flavor.

The shrimp were so plump and the sauce was so delicious on the noodles. I tried soju seltzer in a can for the first time. It was good. Canned alcohol is getting really creative these days. read more

Wrote a food review for this cute spot in Chapman Plaza called Louders! Such a cozy and fun place, perfect vibes for a Saturday night out or during the week. The food was so good! We ordered the whole fried chicken, which was super crispy and flavorful. Then we got the Booldak spicy chicken with cheese that combo was amazing, so delicious and tender, loved all the flavors. We also had the Budaejjigae, which had spam, sausage, beans, ramen, and cheese in a kimchi broth literally everything we ordered was so good! The service was great and really attentive too. Oh, and they have valet or street parking, which makes it super convenient. Definitely recommend this spot for casual drinks and really good Korean food with your friends or even a cute date night! read more

Still been definitely a great spot for me and my girlfriend to come here when we crave some spicy fried Korean chicken and melted cheese!!! It gets lively and upbeat so it's also great for some group hangouts. We love to come here and try out something new each time. I know the prices can get pricey so it's honestly best to treat the entrees here as shareable items! I'm not sure yet about the pastas though because we opt to get food from the 'Mains' section. Recently we tried the Kimchi Pancake with Porkbelly and I thought it was pretty delicious, fried perfectly, and had a nice crunch of kimchi along with some soft dough! A favorite we always order is Booldak with Cheese. It comes with a nice little show of a staff using a broiler to melt the top of cheese. The tricky thing with this spot is finding parking around the area and the lot is limited to valet, which I believe is about 5$ now, but just want to again note from previous experiences that valet staff can be rude if they see you leaving the plaza to get dessert somewhere else. read more

Update: The owner Karen personally reached out to explain and apologize for the botched delivery. I didn't ask for anything but she wanted to leave a better impression and so she sent over a replacement meal. It was absolutely great.

I really appreciate the personal outreach from Karen, but beyond that the food is simply great and shouldn't be missed. Really looking forward to returning. read more
