Palm Tree Karaoke is fun. Always good times here. Great spot for a social gathering with friends, and they offer a great selection of songs so theres always something for everyone. Never disappoints!

Hosted my friendsgiving here this year and it was an absolute blast! We got a standard room for 6 people with the soju and beer package. For our entree we ordered the bulgogi rice which was AMAZING. They also let us bring some of our own food due to some dietary restrictions in our party which was so kind. They offer tambourines too which is such a great add!! The package typically comes with 2 hours of karaoke but bc we had so much fun we added another hour. Jerry was our waiter and very nice as was the rest of the staff. If you're looking for something fun and different to do with a group this is the move! Only downside is the automatically applied gratuity which is kind of hefty. All in all - would come again!

Perfect place for a late night out with amazing customer service. The rooms are clean and have great sound quality!

Our private karaoke room was super spacious and clean!! The music selection was up to date and the service was fast. This is a great spot for small and large groups. The other karaoke places make you pay up front for a bunch of drinks, but here you can just order what you want. Our group of 3 enjoyed that very much! Will definitely be back next time we're in LA.

The best!! Thank you!!

5/5 let's go! So fantastic thank you for a great night you were great host we will be back

Bill for fruit, 4 soju, 8 Korean beer, 2 hours
Berenice V.

Of all the karaoke places in K-town, please don't settle for this one. It's very clear they're trying to rebrand on Yelp given the influx of 5 star reviews in the last 5-6 months. My experience most closely aligned with the reviews dated before then. First of all, I tried to request a reservation and received a text message requesting my credit card info via text to confirm my reservation. I am very cautious about my card info and opted to walk in instead. When my group and I arrived, we were quickly ushered into a room. I thought this was great given we didn't have a reservation. That's where the positive review ends. We were told we had to buy a package and were walked to the room without being handed a menu or an explanation of our options. Once we were in our room, a server came in and asked what flavor soju we wanted. We answered, he said he'd bring coors light, but we requested the Korean beer instead. The server brought those drinks and a fruit platter and disappeared. No overview of the controls, remote, settings etc. which you typically get when using karaoke rooms. Our servers were never to be seen again until our time was almost up. The server came in saying they needed a card now, handed mine over and they came back with the receipt and my card. The charges included a service charge. The package listed was the standard room, which includes 2 hours, the drinks mentioned above, fruit and an entree. The entree never came nor was it offered. Again, no menu available anywhere. Today when I looked at the receipt I noticed the service charge, and the package was one line item so I looked online to confirm we were billed for the right package since we were never handed a menu or package description. The package was not described on the receipt at all. Additionally, I didn't see the mandatory/ unilaterally added service charge listed anywhere. I normally don't question those charges if they're on a menu and are tied to a policy that's clearly outlined for customers. This was not the case at palm tree. I sent a text message looking to clarify the charges to the number that initially reached out regarding my initial request to book a room in advance. The person responded and I tried to explain my confusion. The person called me and introduced himself as the manager. I was so glad to see they were trying to communicate and answered, thanking them for reaching out before I explained anything. That call ended up making matters much worse. The manager was condescending. I tried to explain that we were not clear as to what our package included and that we were charged a service fee without any explanation. We also never received any food other than the fruit platter, despite the online descriptions stating an entree was included. I repeatedly explained that we were never offered a selection, menu, or any type of service. After several repetitive explanations, I became frustrated and asked if customers were expected to beg for service to which he answered "yes, just like a hotel". After which I said, wow okay and hung up. Obviously nothing to discuss if that's their understanding of what service should consist of. Karaoke rooms are not hotels despite the motel activity going on at this location. (Yes, the hooker reviews are true. Leather clad escorts, others in school girl mini skirts, and some in teeny weeny night club-esque dresses run rampant.) He then followed up our call via text saying it was his day off and that I should be glad he every contacted me today - as if I should have access to his schedule. I also noted I thought it was a business phone given they requested credit card info via text from that number. If you do book in advance, be on the lookout for any fraudulent charges. It's not normal or acceptable to request credit card info from a cell number. Most places either don't require this or you book online in a secure and private site. Overall very disappointed. This feels like a cover operation for the sex work that happens here, with money grabs and bait and switch tactics used on paying customers who really only come for karaoke. Wonder what the 5 star reviewers received in exchange for the positive reviews- there's no way they were submitted by customers paying full price. I've uploaded a video of all we received for our $366 total.

Place is amazing to hang out with friends. Ambiance is great and would 100% recommend.

Having fun with the cousins and brother!

I love the song selections here! They have everything i was looking for! Good food and soju too. The popcorn chicken was surprisingly good. Thank you Palm Tree!

It's probably due to them taking your order while in line so that almost as soon as you sit down your food arrives. The banchan was really good especially the green one which I think was mustard greens. We order the Bossam (medium) and Spicy Seafood Kalguksu The Bossam was delicious but maybe a bit too much fat for my taste but I think that's just personal preference. What totally blew us away was the spicy seafood kalguksu. The broth was so savory and the noodles were silky and bouncy. Definitely getting this again but my hubby might do his with extra spice. The portions are huge so meant to be shared and you will have leftovers. The only thing they were stingy with was napkins. I might have to bring my own Kleenex next time.

There is also the option to visit H Mart and get validation with a purchase there, of course. Try to come towards the beginning / end of dinner service, because coming during rush hour may result in a 30-45 minute wait - very worth the wait, though! My friend and I visit on occasion and enjoy their Clam Kalguksu, which is a dish you may not find at other Kalguksu places. The clams are always fresh, clean and free of sand. I'm always impressed with how well they can mask the clamminess and taste of the sea with the spices in this dish. Their other dishes like bossam and chicken porridge. The bossam is decent, though I wouldn't recommend the chicken porridge. The chicken porridge gets thick and dry fairly easily. If you don't enjoy it fast, it will become a chore to eat! During rush hour, you may also need to get your own utensils / ladle because the staff may forget. Plan also to eat fast, too, because they may subtly rush you with the bill... after all, they do often get lines out the door!

They've mastered the art of keeping Korean flavors while dropping in modern twists that totally elevate every dish. The braised galbi served on a spread of mashed potatoes with various mushrooms is a total masterpiece. The zabuton is also one of my favorites if you like an asado and plenty of garlic. The golden chicken nuggets with seaweed powder on top are so perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. I have to admit the corn cheese egg rolls are probably my favorite thing on the menu, something as simple like a mozzarella stick type of appetizer just really hits it for me. And one of my favorite cocktails of all time. The staff is always so nice every time. They're attentive and honest with us if we are over-ordering. The ambiance is elite, even after renovation. Danbi is an absolute gem in Ktown. It's the perfect spot show off the city to out-of-town guests or for an incredible night out. 10/10 recommend!

It is pretty elegant inside, away from the shabbiness that most older strip malls in this area now reflect. I came with my daughter's father-in-law (SJ) for a weekend lunch, and we really enjoyed it. Kobawoo is named after the main character in a famous Korean satirical comic strip, with the name evoking resiliency in Korean culture, just like what the owners wanted for their restaurant. It has a nice modern website, with one page menu appearing with pictures. We took the Metro so didn't need to worry about parking (which was already packed) and were seated right away. Pretty much everyone inside were speaking Korean, and it was actually pretty quiet inside with a low key vibe (no flaming cheese or sizzling plates here). SJ ordered for us, getting the Combo Bossam ($75.99). The normal part was boiled pork belly with napa cabbage (both boiled plain and uncut pickled), pickled daikon, radish kimchi and wraps, and salt fermented shrimp. The combo portion added steamed skate and glazed pork feet (hock). We got to choose the steamed rice accompaniment, either white or purple. Later we got a large bottle of Cass Beer ($9.99) to share. Four banchans came immediately with the rice, and all were excellent: I really liked the egg omelet dish (def taking more than my share) and the cut napa kimchi. There was a bit of a lull, then the feet came out next. then the skate next, the main plate of pork belly with toppings last. The pork belly was served slightly warm, with the rest of the food being room temp (or cold). I enjoyed the pork belly, not so much the skate (didn't realize how gelatinous and [edible] boney it is) and the pork feet (served cold hock, not my favorite as the ratio of collagen/fat to muscle was too much for my taste, but glad I got to try it). Even though we ate meat from the most fatty/gelatinous parts of the pig, none of it was overly greasy. The ability to customize to get levels of spice and structure is what makes this so good. Each bite was an adventure, and I really enjoyed trying different combo wraps with the various ingredients laid out in front. Was glad that we had a booth for four, allowing us to spread out. We definitely ordered too big for the two of us, bringing a lot of it home. They have more affordable lunch specials as well, but it being a Saturday was not available. They do have the traditional dishes served by Korean restaurants (Kalbi, BibimBap, and JJigae). They are also known for their their jun (pancakes). Service was good, with them only coming over when asked. We had a lot to catch up on, and never felt hurried as we casually enjoyed our food and drink. They brought over take home containers once we asked, and paid at the table. The servers wished us well as we left, and we noticed how the parking situation had gotten even more hectic from the time we came in. The restaurant appears in Eater's 'Classic Los Angeles Restaurants Every Angeleno Must Try' list, specifically for the boiled pork belly dish. Bossam isn't usually the dish most folks think of when choosing Korean food. If it is, this restaurant certainly is the place to come to.

As a party of 3, we all ordered the set menu with barley rice, and I could not even begin to tell you how shocked I was when the waitress brought out the food. It was dish after dish after dish, and by the end of it, the entire table was completely filled with food. All the dishes were well flavored and complemented each other nicely. I really enjoyed that you can mix everything together and create your own combination of flavors depending on what you're in the mood for. There's a nice variety of textures and flavors, so the meal never felt repetitive. To get some protein (and fat lol), we also ordered the bossam. The pork belly was cooked perfectly... tender, juicy, and flavorful. It paired really well with the crispy cabbage and pickled vegetables, which helped cut through the richness of the pork. Overall, this was a really satisfying meal. You get a ton of food for the price, the flavors are solid, and the experience was really unique.

Down the line, I realized that the set was basically a bunch of ban chan. Some were interesting because other Korean restaurants don't serve it. We were advised to use it to create our own bibimbap. The perilla porridge stood out most. I never had perilla porridge. The taste was unique. It had chicken inside. The small cup of pumpkin soup was yummy. The soybean soup (fermented soy bean stew) had a very pungent smell. I wanted to enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I couldn't stand the smell and not comfortable with the taste. Wish they gave an option to choose from different stews. The desserts were good. I also like their plum tea/juice. The galbi was well marinated. Not as tender as I was hoping for, but it was still delicious. With the price, I do feel like the set should include a dish of meats. Especially since the restaurant requires 2 people at $34 each for the set. If you go 3 people, prob more worth it. Overall, it was a fun experience. Service was great.

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.
