Burgers are amazing!!! Wish they had a better setup and wish the staffs were nicer but I guess the taste of the burger made up for it. Not too sure if you can order the fries well done but the fries were soft, no crispiness to it and it had this oil taste. Maybe bad day for fries. Parking in the plaza is pretty expensive.. $11 for Saturday night. Overall food was good, appreciated that it was nice and hot

Great service. Sparse but intimate atmosphere. Unbelievable burger. Top three in the city! Delicious meat seasoned to perfection. Great tangy cheese to complement it. I even loved the bun! Really good fries, too. Decent selection of drinks. But you have got to try this burger. It is phenomenal!

Smashburger

Went with a pretty large group on a Saturday evening and the staff sat us pretty quickly. I ordered the smashburger and added on "my girlfriend is not hungry," which had an insane amount of fries, onion rings, and a few mozzarella sticks. The sides here are huge so it was good to share with others at the table. The onion rings had perfect batter and the fries were thin and crispy how I like! The burger had a really nice crisp to it and the bun was delicious! Soft and held everything together really well. Great value for a sit down spot on ktown. I really enjoyed the food.

When you get in the really small lot and don't want to park on your own, there is valet. Otherwise you would, have to wait on those that self parked or circle the block a few times. When you enter, it is confusing as there is signage for Love Hour, but that is the take out window only for to go orders. Maybe have another sign pointing the direction of Love Hour would help. When I walked in, there was no designated host. It is a lot more casual than expected. someone came up to me and I said "Hi. I have a reservation for 2 under Marie." The server asked, "What's the name under my reservation?" i was confused, but maybe he didn't hear me well. When we were about to be seated, the server looked around and saw 2 empty tables and asked us where we wanted to sit and I said that anywhere was fine. It seemed like that there isn't a clear system on how they seat guests. The food was full of flavor and very comforting. I got the Fried Chicken and it was so crispy on the outside with a small kick of spice and juicy and tender on the inside paired with a housemaid curry sauce. It was really tasty. I also ordered My Girlfriend's Not Hungry sides which was a fun upgrade and everything was cooked well. The steak on the steak frites just melted in your mouth along with the gravy. It was such high quality. The bar did a great job with the cocktail which was so light and refreshing. The entire service was a bit confusing as we had 3 different people help us. I don't even know their names because I don't think they introduced themselves. The lady server was really sweet and full of good energy. She checked on us a few times after the food was served. The other 2 seemed lost. When the steak frites was delivered, they forgot the steak knife. I had to call for water multiple times as the cups are really small especially with the heat we have now. When we were finished, I wasn't sure how to pay, I thought I had to get and pay at the register. I stood up and was still lost on how to pay until I was able to get ahold of server. What confused me even more was that I asked for to go boxes and still wasn't enough for any server to understand that I wanted to pay. Overall, the food is saving this establishment, but the FOH can improve a bit

this was $50 dollars by the way.

This spot is really mediocre, if you're experimental , sure a burger with such odd texture could be something new.... Tell me why the meat is like bulgogi, it's basically pulled meat in the burger (personally absurd for a burger! there was also more bun than meat, the patty was basically as circumference of the water cups they gave out..... the fries are also pretty okay , you know at least they gave out a good portion but other than that, $14 dollars for a small burger... I should have just gone to in and out, cus we were out and about , it was so bad we should have just dined and dash (obviously not).... Service was good though at that, and the ambiance was good too, other than that it's just the food itself that makes this place absurd.

Pink drink

Valet parking available , public street parking. Indoor / outdoor dining , full bar , no wait staff , order / pick up food at the counter. We sat outside to dine on metal stools and stainless steal prep table to eat on, Casual chill dining environment . Make sure to bring something to keep you warm during fall / winter season as night time temperatures can be unpredictable in the winter. My friend ordered the "Pink Drink " she mentioned she tastes vodka and coconut milk concoction. Miss picky liked her Pink drink as she usually is very particular and will not finish it if she doesn't like it. Yup!! All that's left was ice lol!! We each had a taste of Hazy IP beer which was new to most of us. It actually was a good tasting beer according to some of the friends who tried it . ( beer that is in its natural form that hasn't been filtered through) from my understanding from my friend's explanation. We each had smash burgers and fries to share with each other. Burgers were delicious and I really liked the onion rings extra crispy per request..

2 double Burger, fish filet and fries $43. It's good but nothing stands out other than the fries and crisp ends of the burger. The burger has sweet pickles and raw onions 5/10. You can get it grilled for $0.50. The buns are good. The fish filet is a 5/10 buns are good. Fish was a bit lemony and had a wine taste. Not my cup of tea. Fries were pretty good 8/10. I wanted to get it seasoned but with garlic parmesan but it was +$2 or $3. Thought it would be +$1. But if I remember it was only for BBQ. Could be more option for the $1. But I like garlic parmesan. It's a window you order on the kiosks pad and pick up. You can I guess order at the window. They do have servers from what I saw. The lady at the window was nice and friendly. Parking sucks! Super tiny maybe about 10 spots. There is a Valet next door not sure how much. Parking on street does suck also.

Came in to use the photo booth but there was a like so decided to have a drink while we waited. Service was quick and only disappointment was no slushies that day but other drinks were also just as good. Drink came pretty fast. the vibes inside are super chill. Even with the open door you can't see the hustle and bustle of ktown outside which is nice. Not a lot of parking so gotta find parking elsewhere. It was so cute how they decorated for Valentine's Day. If I lived in the area I would definitely come visit here for drinks often.

2 singles, fries and onion rings
Pauline C.

What We Ordered - 2 Singles - Fries - Onion Rings - Love Hour Sauce We have walked and drove by this place for months with lines out the door. We thought it was a bar but we soon realized it was a burger joint (with a bar lol). We were a bit confused on where to order and ended up walking back to the front window. The 3 pick up window signs threw us off. Love the burger!! Fries were very crispy. The only thing that was miss for me was the onion rings. Some pieces had thick batter which made it soggy. Definitely coming back to try their fish sandwich!

Great price, burgers, onions rings, and fries. Burgers aren't greasy and super tasty. Staff are really friendly and lots of seating outside. There's also an indoor bar.

Burger spot in Korea town. Two outside tables on the covered patio with seats. Bench seats along wall. The walk up window is where to order & pick up food. The bar area with security ID & bag check is 21+ only. Patio tables with barstool seating and self serve water tank. Inside old school Photo Booth for $7, bathroom facility inside had a long line. Bar and booth seating. Service was very welcoming. Loved the house dipping sauces with well done onion rings and fries. Smash Burger was a good bite! Valet parking lot next door or street parking if you can find it.

Love Hour is a hidden gem in Koreatown. The location is perfect because many other bars are nearby to explore. The inside is quite roomy with plenty of seating while the outside area stays lively and crowded. The bartenders are very friendly and provide great service. The double burger is a standout for 11 dollars. It has a unique and delicious flavor with a slight hint of curry. This taste might come from the mustard but it works perfectly with the meat. The pickles are very crispy and provide the right amount of acidity to balance the meal. It is a top tier Koreatown burger. While they no longer offer 10 dollar soju, the overall atmosphere and food make it a great spot for a night out.

Came out with the fam for the new opening of Love Hour. The updated drinks and food menu hit the spot. It's always been a vibe here and happy for them and this new opening. Appreciate the service from Ernesto, we can't wait to come back!

The steak was cooked really poorly and was very very chewy. Sauce was nearly inedible. We each took one bite and could not eat any more of it. First time ever leaving a steak dish alone, ever. I like the idea of a wasabi infused au poivre sauce but it was extra bitter and had a funky sour taste to it. 2. Kimchi was WAY too salty. I understand kimchi is salted during brining, but we each had one piece and couldn't eat any more. I lean towards a saltier palate but I just couldn't eat more. 3. The chicken wings tasted fine, but they weren't even tossed with the sauce completely. Some pieces had only a few drops of sauce. None were fully coated. I'm not sure if that's intentional, but I wanted to point it out. 4. Salad was served in a full bowl and we were instructed to toss the salad ourselves. Either the salad should be tossed with the dressing or we should have a bigger bowl? This might just sound nit-picky, so I'll just leave it at that. 5. We ordered one of everything on the late night menu, and we were told that the tuna was sold out. No problem. When the food came out, we had 2 orders of the wings come out. We only ordered one. When we asked, we found out that the server mistakenly put one order of the wings and one order of the wings combo. Honest mistake, no problem. We had everything come out except the kimchi pancake, and when we asked about it, we were told, "oh, that must be sold out too then." Maybe the kitchen had an off night? I even thought possibly it was because we went too late? But we arrived at the restaurant just past 12 and restaurant closes at 2am on a Saturday, and we didn't receive any notice of a last call in the kitchen, so I don't think that was the issue. Ambiance was fine, server was kind - just hard to get past the food. I replied to an email from the restaurant asking about our dining experience with the above mentioned and got zero response, so now I feel like this just needs to be shared to the public. Maybe the generic automated email is also telling to the laziness of the food. I'm sure their actual dinner menu is better, but what's the point if the food isn't consistent across the board? Maybe don't do the late night menu if it's going to be regarded as unimportant. Again, this is my one experience there from just the late night menu. Not sure if i want to give it another try for a while, but one bad experience usually carries more weight than good ones, unfortunately. Lastly, for a "no tipping" policy where they enforce a 20% fee to cover their operations, I should expect much better from the restaurant. Very, very disappointing. Was really hopeful for this restaurant, but here we are. Hope they do better moving forward.

The crowd was very chill, very typical Echo Park low-key characters, quite a few seemed to know the staff well. The food and drinks were all fine to me, I had a couple old fashions, my girlfriend had a specialty drink with brunt orange something, she liked it. We tried the chicken thighs, fried green tomatoes, and the chicken biscuit. They all were good, my only issue, the chicken biscuit item is not served on a biscuit like I was thinking , its just on a sandwich bun essentially. Overall, I would go again maybe on a Friday or Saturday night to see the difference, if any of the crowd and vibe.

But that being said ... the membership that you get for purchasing bottles doesn't meet expectations. I have spent upwards of $1000 in bottles over the last few months and that has given me a little bit of a membership. Well, we went in for their newest addition, the devil's quarter, and all was good until the end of the night. Well we're given a limit to drinks at the post show bar. Me, having a membership, thought oh maybe we can stay another hour and have a drink at our favorite place... nope apparently members are only allowed to have fun on Tuesday... so I guess my membership is irrelevant because it's not a Tuesday (when I usually work), not to mention the $500 in bottles I now have to walk around with to find another post show hangout because we were no longer allowed to stay.

The atmosphere is immersive, theatrical, moody, and every nook and cranny of this place is beautifully detailed. Our group embraced the requested all-black dress code, and I was a little disappointed that some other guests didn't play along. When a place puts this much effort into creating a particular world, dressing the part really does make the experience more fun. The spirits themselves were excellent. We tasted vodka, whiskey, and rum, and all three were remarkably smooth, interesting, and clearly very high quality. I loved that the tasting was guided rather than just having drinks dropped in front of us. The storytelling and presentation made us pay attention to what we were actually tasting and gave the evening a nice sense of progression. We also happened to be there while comic artist Matt Harley of Marvel fame was sketching, which felt perfectly suited to the setting and made an already unusual night even more memorable. The space is gorgeous: candlelight, artwork, strange little details everywhere, dramatic lighting, beautiful glassware, and even the outdoor fire element. There's so much to look at that you feel like you're discovering something new every time you turn around. Our whole group LOVES Halloween, so this felt like the absolute perfect way to kick off spooky season. It has exactly the kind of dark, mysterious, slightly magical atmosphere we were hoping for without feeling cheesy or gimmicky. We loved the rum so much that we ended up buying a bottle, which also granted us Level 1 membership, so this definitely won't be our only visit. Such a fun choice for a birthday celebration, date night, or a night out with friends when you want something completely different from the usual bar experience. We're already looking forward to going back and seeing what our new membership unlocks.
