After trying dakhanmari for the first time in Seoul, I was happy to hear about Osigye as it's a bit more rare here. First things first... Parking: since Osigye sits on the top floor of the MaDang mall, there's a large multi-level parking lot that's free with validation. Atmosphere: this restaurant is a clean, well-lit, small/medium size place and the staff are very welcoming and attentive here. We felt right at home. Now for the food... Original chicken gomtang: beautifully rich yet clean chicken broth. The chicken itself was hearty, perfectly cooked and the dipping sauce was a garlicky gochujang with hot mustard. The small portion was more than enough for me and my wife (we had to take leftovers). I now get cravings for this soup often--like right now for example. Pibim guksu: a fresh/bright compliment to the soup with heavy pours on the perilla oil just how we like it. Super tasty and a great combo of noodles and greens. The verdict: Osigye offers a decisively direct menu with a simple yet very yummy chicken soup that has landed itself in my list of options whenever considering the trip over to Ktown. read more

Osigye - original chicken gomtang + pibim guksu - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is your place if you're looking for a traditional Korean hotpot of old school chicken stew. Normally serving size is for groups but if you're a solo flier they do provide option for single diners. You can order the original chicken stew or their signature basil broth. The original chicken broth is phenomenal. Served in a hotpot with Kalguksu noodles and unlimited broth refills throughout the dining hour. Came a second time on my own, and tried the signature basil broth. The broth was slightly green in color with a hint of herbal aroma. This was very good too. Wouldn't dismiss it my fellow Korean friends. Basil is not a common ingredient used in Korean dishes, but this did work well together. Trust me! There are also some à la carte dishes including the cold spicy noodle dish served with fresh lettuce strips and heavy on the dried seaweed. Such a great touch. Highly recommend this place guys. read more

My Korean friend really wanted to try this place since it's the first of its kind in Ktown! I was quite excited as well since I love a good simple chicken soup. We got the regular one to share and added extra chicken to our portion. Before I give a final rating for Korean restaurants by their main dishes, I always start by judging their banchan first. My main criteria is that it must be made fresh & in house. Upon taking the first bite of their kimchi & radish I knew this meal was going to be delicious. It did take quite some time before our meal was delivered but I didn't mind since I was conversing with my friends. In the pot were: 1.5 chicken, rice cakes, potatoes, kalguksu, & a whole lot of green onions. I wish there were more potatoes since we each only got 1 or 2 pieces. The broth was pretty flavorful despite it being so light. They provided this sweet spicy sauce to dip the chicken in & it was delicious! It was the favorite part of my meal for me. Overall, I would definitely come back during the winter if I was ever craving soup or was sick. read more

My friend and I came here on a Friday afternoon. We were so excited to try the famous raw marinated crab, and the chicken hot pot! Between the two of us, we did the crab and chicken hot pot combo. It honestly could've fed a party of four; however, because it was so delicious my friend and I basically finished the entire feast. I've had my fair share of raw crab in the past, but I must say this spot serves the best one I've ever had. It was perfectly salty, sweet, and spicy. It was extremely fresh and I'm definitely coming back here just for this again. The chicken hot pot on the other hand was very refreshing and paired well with the raw crab. The service is also tremendous - she would constantly come and check on us to ensure we were tended to! 10/10 would definitely be back again. read more

Osigye is an instant hit. Newly opened Korean whole chicken hot pot specialty restaurant with a unique twist on flavor with its option for basil pesto soup. Phenomenal. The flavor was rich and not overbearing. Chicken fell off the bone. Added kalguksu noodles were cooked just right. Highly recommend the Perilla leaf noodles. The owners were super kind and accommodating. They'll treat you right and make sure you're getting the best experience. read more

This place is on the top floor of Madang Plaza so it can be hard to find, but it's not to be missed! Their menu is very small but they only serve what they excel at making. We got the small size chicken hot pot, which as a group of 3 was perfect, and the spicy squid salad. The broth was delicious. It didn't require additional seasoning. It came with fresh kal guk su noodles, and they closely monitored the noodles to make sure they didn't overcook. As far as service goes, this was the best experience I had at a Koreatown restaurant. The staff was beyond attentive. We never had to ask for anything, and they went above and beyond to go out of their way to help us. We put all our bags on a chair and the staff was worried the soup from the hot pot would splash on our bags so they gave us a cubby to keep our bags safely in while we ate. My mom and cousin were also wearing white shirts, so they were given aprons. Since we weren't too familiar with the food, they took the time to explain the different sauces. They served the hot pot to us in individual bowls so we didn't have to serve ourselves. read more

My review: 3.5 stars out of 5 I saw this restaurant on social media and immediately remembered my time in Korea last year, where they had an entire row of restaurants that served 닭한마리 (rough translation:one chicken). The restaurant is located in Madang Mall, on the third floor. When I arrived with my friend, there was no wait and we got seated fairly quickly; we arrived at about 6:00 ish on Saturday. The staff looked like they were running around everywhere and we were moved at one point because we were sitting right next to the entrance. We weren't served our banchan until our food came out, which was a bit odd, and our water cups were only given when we asked for them. Nevertheless, we ordered the basil chicken and the green onion pancake. The chicken was good and the basil made the experience alot more interesting. The pancake was also very good, extremely crunchy and perfectly seasoned. The inside of the restaurant was a bit hot and uncomfortable but not that bad. Overall, the staff looked fairly new and the restaurant was fairly busy, which was probably why our service wasn't the best, but the food definitely made up for it. Would definitely like to check them out again in the future! read more

I was craving a hearty/nourshing soup and this seemed like it would hit the spot. However, just as a previous reviewer mentioned, some of their items are not accurately portrayed on their menu. I ordered the Original Broth Korean chicken hot pot which serves 2-3 people. In the menu photo (attached in this review), it showed bokchoy/napa cabbage/mushrooms. However, none of that was brought out. The soup had onion, potato, green onion, rice cake, and kalguksu already inside the soup. The menu also showed two different dipping sauces and we were only provided one (a spicy gochujang-like sauce with chives). When I inquired about what was brought out, the waiter said that there has been some changes to the menu since they opened which did not make sense because they opened less than a month ago. If that's the case then they need to update their images so that customers aren't misguided. Another issue was the ratio of the ingredients. Though the menu said it fed 2-3 people, there was enough kalguksu for 1 person. I get that the soup had other ingredients but since this does not come with rice, it felt incomplete eating this without a substantial carb. The only other carb was a few rice cakes. Had we had a third person in my party, I don't think this would satisfy us. After the meal, you can choose to either have them make fried rice (extra $1.99) or make porridge (included in the meal cost). The positives to this meal was unlimited chicken broth and the generous portion of the meat. I did leave feeling full but it was mostly because I drank a lot of the broth. If I were to come back, I would only get the individual portion. I do not think this meal was worth $60+ for 2 people. Parking: Validated 3 hour parking. read more

Location on third floor, nested right of the elevator in the corner. Love how this is located above hmart so I can hit two birds with one stone. I can't wait to come back, everything was sooooo good. I knew right away the food was going to be good because the banchan was on point. I'd come just buy their banchan! The radish kimchi was so crunchy. I'm already craving their oyster salad with seaweed wrap and rice. I'd come back everyday just for that. I also normally don't love chicken soup in general but their basil chicken was a game changer! It was so hearty yet clean in taste. I felt hesitant at first bc I've never heard of basil chicken soup but wow, amazing. Their special dipping sauce for the chicken was perfect. I know my Korean mom would love it here so I can't wait to take her. This food was made with love and is just good for the soul For the person who gave a low review just because of the soju price?? It's ktown! Most places here charge that price. Parking is 3 hours validated for free! read more

Went here for a quick Boy's Lunch with a couple of coworkers after seeing a ton of Instagram Reels. Was not disappointed at all. Ordered the Dakhanmari with Oyster Salad combo and a side of buchupajeon. Food was delicious and filling. We all left full and teetering food-coma status satiated. The overall experience was amazing, and the service was attentive and helpful. The restaurant itself is on the third floor of the Madang Courtyard, so you get a pretty nice view of the courtyard or of the LA streets if you snag a window seat. Will be sure to come back with the family to try the volcano crab! read more

After hearing rave reviews about Osigye, my family and I finally tried it out. Coming in on a Tuesday night, there was no wait like there is on the weekends. We ordered the oyster salad, kimchi pancake, and signature chicken soup. In terms of flavor, the oyster salad was the most refreshing and catching. The sauce that comes with the chicken soup is quite horrible (it's just wasabi with a mild red pepper sauce). Because this soup is traditionally less seasoned, the dipping sauce is an important factor in completing the dish. We found ourselves eating the chicken with the jjangachi or pickled vegetable sauce that came as a side dish instead. Hopefully, they make changes to the sauce soon. The soup itself was pretty good. When we first ordered the kimchi pancake, it came out very burnt. We addressed this with our server and they kindly gave us a new one. The crisp on the outer edges is delicious, BUT the majority of the pancake is way too doughy. It almost has a rice cake texture that's not very appealing. Considering there aren't many or any places in Ktown that specialize in this dish (as far as I know), I do recommend Osigye overall! A nice try. read more

This review is mainly about the oyster salad. The chicken soup and the other dishes were excellent. And the service was excellent as well. The woman who helped us was very friendly and even asked us if we enjoy the food. The oyster salad was amazing first of all but I highly highly recommend putting it on the side in a bed of ice before serving it to patrons. I came here last month and immediately had nausea after eating it. It's already really risky to eat oysters during summer months but it should be on ice and have us put it in the salad ourselves as the temperature can go up pretty quickly from the moment the food is brought over. That is all. read more

I ordered the lunch combo O and got the Basil Chicken Gomtang with the "Spicy Squid Salad" combo. The Basil Chicken Gomtang was actually very unique and surprisingly delicious. It was flavorful and honestly I liked it even more than regular chicken gomtang. The spicy salad was tasty too -- the chicken felt a little unexpected in it, but the seasoned radish was really good. ***** The reason I ordered this combo specifically was because I was craving SPICY SQUID SALAD. I normally don't eat a lot, but I intentionally chose the Chicken Gomtang + Spicy Squid Salad combo because the MENU said squid. However, there was literally no squid in it at all. When I asked, they told me it was actually a chicken salad instead. I explained that the menu specifically says squid salad and that was the reason I ordered it. They mentioned that their previous restaurant used to make it with squid, and then recommended I try the regular chicken gomtang next time instead. The response felt a bit disappointing. Also, when I switched from the regular chicken gomtang to the basil version, the staff changed the combo to the pancake combo pricing instead. I was a little confused because the regular and basil chicken gomtang are listed at the same price, and I assumed the combo price difference came from the side dish itself (squid salad vs. pancake). So it felt odd to pay the higher pancake combo price even though what I originally ordered was the squid salad combo. To be honest, I don't mind paying more if I'm getting what I actually wanted and enjoying the meal. But what I wanted was the squid salad listed on the menu. I know they're still newly opened, so hopefully the system/menu descriptions improve over time. The 3-hour parking validation was great, and the staff members were kind overall. But even though they were friendly, the way the situation was handled felt a little lacking. read more

We had a really disappointing and uncomfortable experience here. We walked in around 8:47 PM and were immediately told that last call was at 9:00 and the restaurant closed at 9:30. We completely understood and were fine with that. We were reminded again after being seated, which again, was fine. We placed our order right away and had every intention of being respectful of their closing time. What bothered me was how rushed and unwelcome we were made to feel after they had already chosen to seat us. Before our food came out, we were told that the noodles that normally come with one of our dish was no longer available and that they would substitute something else. I didn't think much of it at the time, but after seeing how the rest of the evening went, it honestly felt like they simply didn't want to prepare them so close to closing. Throughout our meal, our server repeatedly came by our table in a rushed manner asking if we wanted things boxed up even though we were very clearly still eating -- and it wasn't even 9:30 yet. Dishes and cups were being put down or cleared in a way that felt noticeably impatient, and at one point a sauce was taken off our table before we were even finished with our food. The entire experience felt like we were being pushed to leave as quickly as possible. I completely understand that restaurant staff want to go home at the end of the night, and I would never expect to sit around well past closing. But if a restaurant chooses to seat customers at 8:47 when it closes at 9:30, those customers should still be allowed to eat their meal without being made to feel guilty or uncomfortable for being there. If 8:47 is too late to provide normal service, then simply stop seating customers earlier. I would have much rather been politely told that they couldn't accommodate us than be seated, spend money on dinner, and then feel like an inconvenience the entire time. Unfortunately, I could barely enjoy or finish my meal because I felt so rushed. The food itself wasn't the issue -- the service and atmosphere made the experience extremely unpleasant. I don't think we'll be returning. Also forgot to mention they didn't give us the porridge that comes with it. If they didn't have kabooksu noodles to begin with they should've told us that ahead of time before sitting. read more

Great spot for family style Korean comfort food. The chicken soup with pesto was surprisingly delicious, the pesto added a unique twist without overpowering the broth. The original chicken soup was simple and comforting. Perfect place to share a meal with family or friends. read more

Very disappointing experience. Yesterday we walked in and were told the chicken was sold out. The staff told us to make a reservation next time to guarantee it. So today I called early at noon and made a reservation for 6:00 PM. I even specifically asked if the chicken would be available, and they confirmed it would. Then at 5:46 PM, just before we were about to leave, they called and canceled our reservation because a large party had taken more chicken than expected. No solution, no real apology, just a last-minute cancellation after we planned our evening around it. If a reservation can't guarantee what you confirmed over the phone, what's the point? This restaurant has no reliability or integrity. I would not recommend it. read more

I came here for lunch last week and the food and service were amazing! Our server was very helpful explaining the menu and different options. We really wanted to try the chicken hot pot but felt like it would be too much food for two people so we ended up ordering the lunch special chicken kalguksu which comes with a pancake and the oyster salad. The kitchen accidentally made us both pancakes so we got to try both the crispy bu chu jeon and the osigye pa-dak jeon. They were both really good! I really enjoyed the flavor of the kalguksu and you could tell that the chicken was very good quality. The highlight was definitely the oyster flower salad though, the sauce that it comes with is so addicting and I love the crispy chips you crack on top. We will definitely be back and highly recommend the spot to try! Restaurant is located on the third floor of the plaza and was very clean too! read more

Service was poor and rude, specifically by the male employee. The owner was nice and tried to make up for it, but the guy in the glasses who is seemingly an employee here dismissed my family's requests, cut me off multiple times while I was talking, and threatened to cancel my order when I asked him a question about the combo menus. He wouldn't let me finish a single sentence! As for the food, the 닭한마리 was VERY MID and honestly something you could easily make at home for a fraction of the price.. the sauces are not even close to what you would find in Korea. If you're looking for authenticity, would not recommend. read more

My friend and I met up here for lunch on Friday, got the oyster salad and chicken soup combo, and then went our separate ways. Fast forward to Sunday and we have both thrown up multiple times, had diarrhea, chills, body aches and nausea. I was not going to leave a negative review because I understand that things happen, but when my friend called the restaurant to let them know that both of us had gotten sick after eating at the restaurant and it was likely due to the oysters, they had no accountability. They said nobody else had called to let them know that they're sick so it's probably not them. They insisted that because we got the chicken hot pot as well as the oyster salad, the hot pot must have heated up the oysters, causing them to spoil. (Mind you the chicken hot pot + oyster salad is a combo that they offer). However, my friend let them know that the oyster salad had come first, and she didn't continue eating it after the hotpot was ready. The restaurant said they would investigate the order in which the dishes were sent out, even though my friend had already told them that the salad came out and we ate it before the hotpot came out. Basically, they kept denying that their oyster salad made us sick and something must have happened to cause it to make us sick. And that next time we come in, let them know and they'll give us a coupon. This looks like a newer restaurant so I really hope they strive to do better in the future. read more
