    My wife and I have passed by Seoul Time to and from our kid's baseball games so we decided one day to check out the new local spot. In an area dominated by hispanic and other asian food options, we were excited to see a Korean food spot pop up. Especially one that seemingly specializes in street food which I always prefer over a fine dining dish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior of the restaurant is very warm and inviting. All of the windows and it being situated on the end of the strip mall allows for a lot of natural light to flood in to the dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also small restaurant, but it's also roomy enough that I couldn't imagine it feeling cramped, even if it was full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There seemed to only be two people working while we were there, but they treated us very well. I believe one of them was the owner. A wonderfully friendly Korean gentleman who helped us decide on what we would try (we ended up trying several of their dishes). He was just lovely and full of good spirit. It really heightened the experience. In all, I wouldn't say the food was mind blowing, but it hit the spot. Everything tasted like they were coming from family recipes over just some cookbook. Portion sizes were good and everything came out hot and fresh. My only 'complaint' (& I put that in quotes because it's not really a complaint) is that they didn't have any corn dogs and I love a Korean corn dog. But hey, that's fine. It forced me to try new things and we walked out of there having had a lovely tasty meal. We will absolutely be back. I will say it's in a small strip mall so parking could be tight. Be prepared to park on the street. But, it'll be worth a quick stroll.

    I was craving some Korean fried chicken and found Seoul time which was close by. I called to order a pick-up of the 16 piece soy garlic wings and fries. The food wasn't ready when I arrived but the owner was very apologetic and nice. It seemed like the owner was the one doing all the cooking and they had a lot of orders. I didn't mind the wait because the owner was very nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is cute. It's a small mom and pop shop in the area, that was clean and had an area to pour your own sauces.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chicken itself was crispy, juicy, and very flavorful. The soy garlic marinate and sauce the wings were covered in was delicious, and the pieces of chicken were quite big. The fries were decent. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

    The food in general was so delicious. Definitely recommend and will be coming back for more. The service was amazing and [[HIGHLIGHT]]very clean place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is small but it's worth coming back[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Beef & Chicken Rice Bowl w/ Small Side of Tteokbokki

    I ordered the beef & chicken rice bowl w/ side of small tteokbokki. It tasted like a homemade meal The cook is very pleasent to talk to. It's clear that he is passionate about his food, and treats his customers like family. I wish I was a local so that I could come more often.

    Soy garlic wings
    Chelsea A.

    A super cute Korean restaurant in the valley! Service was really great and quick. We ordered the soy garlic wings with a side of rice. Wings were sweeter than how I usually like them but the quality and crispness of the wings were too good can't go wrong! Popcorn chicken was also a little sweet but still really delicious! Chicken teriyaki had the flavors and was also really good! Can't wait to come back and try more. !!

    I've pass this place quite a few times, I've seen them in a post in instagram,,,, so I asked myself maybe I should try them. And so we went.... Came here with wifey for lunch and I must say our dining experience was pretty good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At first, we were hesitant to come in coz the place looks boring and dull. Decorations are very simple, so are the menus which are in a standee in the front counter[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The lady who takes the order doesn't even smile and greet you, lol! But don't be deceived until you order and take the first bite of their food. It was actually pretty darn good! We had the 6 piece garlic soy chicken, the korean beef rice and the tornado potato. Out of the 3, that beef rice was the best! So packed with flavor and very delicious. The beef was so tender, the sweetness and spice was perfect for my palate. Of all the tornado potato i've tried in my life, i think this one stands out. The blend of flavour and spice again was perfect. There's a hint of sweetness too. Now the chicken was little disappointing, yes the flavor is there, the garlic doesn't overpower the blend of sweet soy, the outer coating or breading was crunchy but a little hard and the meat of the chicken if without the sauce and the outer coating was bland. Will I come back here? Yes and would like to try the others. Service here was very quick too.

    Small order of Tteokbokki.

    First timer today. This is a review for a pick up to go order. They have a small menu but that means they can concentrate on freshness and quality of their ingredients. We ordered the 6 piece soy garlic wings and they are sticky goodness. Very crispy and not spicy, can't go wrong with these. Then we wanted to try the Tteokbokki it was like eating a spicy gummy worm. This is not a bad thing. It's a fun eating experience. We really enjoyed these along with the cabbage and egg that was in there also. We got the fried dumplings, these were amazing along with the vinegar based dipping sauce. I think this was my favorite of all of the items. Lastly we got a Small Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. A very generous bowl and good. It's basic but perfect if that is what you're in the mood for. I would definitely go back and try the other bowls and flavors of chicken wings. Good food for sure. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small place so take out is advised since they have only three tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have a do it yourself Raymon bowl. Pick your package of noodles cook it and eat. Fun. The only drawback is the parking this place is in a busy corner strip mall with terrible parking.

    Really nice owner! The food was amazing, everything tasted absolutely divine. Food came out so quickly too! I would recommend the soy glazed chicken, it's a must try :)

    I had always heard about this place from my food research and it was further reinforced by a friend…read morewho recommended this to us. We came as a group of 9 and thankfully, they allow for reservations if you are a group of 8 or bigger. Take note! Especially in this LA peak heat. We checked in with the valet and they gave us menus as we waited about 15/20 minutes for the table to be ready. You will need to order before you are seated and you cannot order anymore food once you are seated, given how popular they are, this makes plenty sense. We were seated inside with cooling AC and the restaurant is quite large inside! It could certainly have several parties in there. Soon, our galbi kalguksu, XL chicken kalguksu, tteokbeokki and XL pork jowl and pork belly bossam showed up. Everything was extra delicious and fresh. The soups in both the galbi and chicken kalguksus were amazing and the hand pulled noodles were divine. We drank and ate everything up quickly. The tteokbeokki was delicious, but too spicy so the rest of the party was able to enjoy it. The bossam was all so tender and had just enough napa and garlic to go with it along with the many unique sauces we could dip all the meats in. Everyone left feeling happy and it satisfied everyone's palates.

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.

We got to try a couple of things. The first thing we ate was their corn cheese roll. The waiter said this is new to the menu and I hope it stays. If you are a fan of Korean cheese corn, you are going to love this. It's corn and cheese wrapped up in an egg roll like wrapper. It was a great starter. Next, we got the endive salad! This salad was beautiful and fresh! Everything you want in a salad and more. I love the sweet corn in this salad too. Every ingredient balance each other so well. We also got the scallop pancake. This was the dish I always wanted to try here but after eating it, it felt a bit heavy compare to the other dishes. It was okay but the other dishes shined more. Lastly, we got the pork jowl, my favorite of the night. It came with a side of garlic rice! You dip the pork with the chili crisp and eat it with a scoop of rice, delicious!! I wish I had that dish right now. Overall, a great dinner spot in ktown!!!

Should've asked for extra samjang Steak: most of my groups favorite. Cooked incredibly well and the perilla leaf chimchurri was very unique. Might have to incorporate that myself when making chimichurri. They had Korean inspired drinks which were yummy. The injeolmi flavor in mine came through really strongly (good thing). The gim-let tasted like a standard gimlet asides from the piece of fried seaweed ggim on top. Hwachae cocktail was also tasty but didn't taste unique

    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.
