    Quiet and clean korean restraunt with a friendly owner and staff. Side dishes were solid. Yugaejang was a 7.5/10. There was no gosari which is kind of important and a bit oily with heavy amt of fish sauce imo. Nangmyeon was solid a 7.9/10. Its a bit pricey but cheaper then some eats in ktown. Plenty of parking in the back.

    Cold Noodles with shaved ice in it.  It's not bad actually.  5/14/22

    Good food, service is good, place is clean and lots of seating. Great for big group. Love the Banchans here especially the kimchi.

    Amazing cold noodles! 5 out of 5.

    I was so glad I found this gem. They got the best cold noodles. This cold noodles is delicious

    I love it here. This place is a regular spot for large families or smaller groups. Tasty, consistent food. Very kind and friendly staff. Prices are not the cheapest as the food commands it- It never disappoints.

    I honestly don't understand how this place is only rated around 4.2 because it deserves at least a 4.8 or 5. It's easily one of the best Korean restaurants I've been to. The place is clean, the Korean ladies working there are super sweet, and it feels very authentic. I'm shocked it's not busier..I truly feel like this is a hidden gem. The food has been consistently good whether I've done takeout or dine-in. All the side dishes are delicious, the tteokbokki is bomb, and the galbi and bulgogi are sooo good and flavorful. One time I accidentally ordered the bulgogi soup, and I still dream about that broth... WOW. Highly recommend this spot. I can confidently give it 5 stars and will keep coming back. Parking in the back.

    Had such a nice and comforting meal here!!! We wanted some good quality Korean food without going out too far, and decided to try out this spot in the Valley. We walked into a very quiet restaurant since it was an early evening, and we sat wherever we'd like. As we ate, more people came in! Both of us wanted galbi and shared a plate of galbi and tteokbokki, and added an order of refreshing cold noodles. The wait wasn't too long and we were relaxed at the ambiance. I'm glad we got to pick the spice levels for the entrees. The side dishes were presented wonderfully and we were very grateful for the meal at this local spot. I noticed half the restaurant was closed off for their supplies, kitchen, and such. We enjoyed every dish fully and found the cold noodles to be perfect to slurp down in the heat outdoors. No wonder it's a seasonal item!! The flavorful galbi were cooked deliciously tender with a crispy exterior. The tteokbokki was chewy, large, and flavored well with the broth. We couldn't finish everything so we had leftovers!!! *small parking lot, easily entered through Reseda

    Feeling a little under the weather and binge-watching K-drama had me craving Korean food. I wasn't too thrilled to drive all the way to Koreatown, so I found this spot on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I ordered the Galbi Tang with LA Galbi for lunch. The place was pretty quiet around Tuesday lunchtime, with plenty of parking available. Service was friendly and quick, and they had a solid selection of soups on the menu. My meal hit the spot -- flavorful, comforting, and exactly what I was craving. Definitely satisfied my Korean food fix!

    I had dinner here and I enjoyed it a lot. I had the LA Galbi Dinner and Beef Soon Tofu soup. The Galbi Dinner comes with the banchan which made the whole meal complete. They have kimchi, kelp, bean sprouts and more for the banchan. The soup wasn't too spicy, but very filling. The Galbi was flavored so well and I loved it a lot. The staff was great and they have free parking.

    Would recommend! This is a very reliable place for when you are craving Korean ox bone soup/galbi jjim and don't want to drive to Koreatown. The ox bone soup broth has good flavors and they always provide generous helpings of meat and noodles. Make sure to put salt to suit your taste. I also like to ask for the cubed radish kimchee 'sauce' so that I can mix it with the soup. The galbi jjim is also solid with good portions of meat and toppings. The restaurant space if big with ample parking in the back lot to fit large parties easily. Their service has always been great and friendly.

    If you're craving true Korean comfort food, this restaurant is a go-to! We ordered the Galbi Tang (Korean short rib soup) and it was fantastic--the broth was so clean, flavorful, and the short ribs were perfectly tender. Next was the Ugeogi Galbi Tang (short rib soup with cabbage), which is another great choice if you're looking for a soup with a soybean paste (doenjang) soup base. It added such a nice depth of flavor, hearty and nourishing. All of the soups here are not only delicious but also feel good for your health--especially when you're not feeling your best. On top of that, the staff are incredibly kind, which makes the whole dining experience feel even more like home. Plus, they have parking in the back, which makes it super convenient.

    Decent soup spot. Last of the Mohicans Korean spot in Valley I never tried. Taste has that home comfort flavor. Had the Galbi Tang, it was decent, didn't blow me away but it was decent. The banchan is decent too.

    We have been here a long time ago. I remember it was good then. We renewed that opinion this time too. I got the Bibimbop and my wife had the Galbi. Of course it came with lots of tasty bonchan. My bibimbop also came with soup. Every dish was very tasty. I even enjoyed the kimchee more than usual! The servers were very nice. The continually checked in on us. The atmosphere is comfortable. This has become our favorite Korean restaurant in the valley.

    Seafood Tofu Soup and Sides (Note no egg)
    Winn H.

    TLDR: GENEROUS portions, kind wait staff, and a good time overall - possibly the best blend you could get between a candleless candlelit dinner vibe and a lively restaurant - not too noisy yet lively not loud. - - - - - - Musse has been on my Yelp Collections for far too long, and I had to try it! There's a small lot out front or the back lot for parking, and I highly recommend that back lot because getting out is much easier. When you enter, you're greeted by dark brown wooden walls decorated with a variety of colorful paintings and pictures of select touristy spots of Korea. There were only two staff waiting tables and a busser on a Friday night, and they were quite occupied with more than 10 tables. Regardless, they served, and I ate - well. Though they didn't have my "go to" order of Assorted Tofu Soup, I went with the Surf option of Seafood Tofu Soup. The price was appropriate, and when it came, I was hit with a mix of emotions. Times are tough with egg prices, and there was no egg, BUT did they really stack that bowl! The Tofu Stew at Musse easily ranks at the top of Korean restaurants that provide generous portions... and they didn't skimp out on the seafood, either. Sure, there may have only been one shrimp, but it was MEATY shrimp, not like the usual wimpy ones. Clams? If I had to count, there were about 10! Service wise, I didn't receive water at all, and out of tiredness forgot to ask. The side dishes, though... were they tasty! I wasn't a fan of the slimy radish marinade, but the other side dishes were all well done, no complaints. Between the party of flavors and the friendly Korean conversations between wait staff, they were both enjoying their time but serving as well. At one point, they forgot my order within 10 seconds but were not hesitant to double-check with me - enjoying their time and keeping their focus!

    I need to update this review. I have been here throughout the years and have seen many changes. It…read morehas been 13 years since my original review and it is due for a big change in review. Hangari Kalguksu is doing really well for themselves! It is good to see. There have been so many changes, but I am not a fan of the changes. What was once meticulously fresh prepared side dishes are now generic looking out of a jar side dishes. They have started to feature more things and have expanded their menu, as well as expanded their shop so that it is much bigger. Still packed! Parking is still valet and a hassle. The waiters and waitresses now speak perfect english, which was nice. Kalguksu is still very good. Overall, it feels more commercial than homely now. As a commercial restaurant, it is good. However, not a place I would travel for anymore. I can get this experience from most local spots. I am keeping this review at a 5 star, because it still is worthy of a 5 star. However, it is a lesser 5 star than 13 years ago.

    I used to love this place. I first came here over 10 years ago, back when the restaurant was about…read morehalf its current size before the expansion. It was one of my favorite spots for kalguksu, so I was excited to come back. We visited on a Saturday around 2:00 PM. The first thing that stood out was the wait. There was a line outside despite there being numerous vacant tables inside the restaurant. I'm not sure why customers were expected to wait outside, especially during the current LA heat wave, when seating appeared to be available. While waiting, we were given menus. The first thing I noticed was the price increase. The clam kalguksu is now $22.99, which felt quite expensive, even accounting for inflation. Once seated, we were served the rice with doenjang paste and the three varieties of kimchi. Unfortunately, I found almost all of the kimchi to be noticeably saltier than I remembered, with the exception of the radish kimchi, which was enjoyable. I honestly don't remember the kimchi tasting this salty in the past. It even made us wonder whether it was intended to discourage customers from requesting refills, though I hope that wasn't the case. We ordered the new beef rib kalguksu and the clam (bajirak) kalguksu. The beef rib broth was overwhelmingly salty for our taste, to the point that I mentioned it to our server. The hand-cut noodles themselves were still excellent, but I also noticed that the clam kalguksu contained significantly fewer clams than I remember from previous visits--roughly half the portion I used to receive years ago. The noodles remain well made, but it's difficult to justify the current price when the portions seem smaller and the broths are considerably saltier than before. What originally made this restaurant special to me was its fresh, clean-tasting broth, flavorful kimchi, and generous amount of clams. Unfortunately, my recent visit didn't live up to those memories. With so many excellent kalguksu restaurants in the area, I don't see myself returning. I understand that restaurants evolve and may adjust recipes to appeal to a broader customer base, especially since most of the diners during my visit appeared to be non-Korean. However, I genuinely miss the balanced flavors, generous portions, and value that made this restaurant stand out years ago.

The bone marrow is a very subtle but nice addition, the tartare is dominated by the sesame oil and needs nothing more. Tartare comes in a generous portion Pork jowl: must order if you like pork. Good quality, cooked perfectly, pairs really well with the chili oil. So good with the accompanying rice Corn latte: order if you like unique desserts. It is sweet, has the hint of saltiness from the foam, a very faint corn flavor, the jelly adds great texture especially paired with the coffee flavored bed of shaved ice.

    tl;dr the delectable pork ribs overshadow the otherwise authentic but standard lineup at this…read morenow-shuttered Korean stalwart Los Angeles Koreatown is home to restaurants that specialize in every facet of Korean cuisine. If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.
