Korean Cheese Corn Dog
Lawrence K.

My family and I just happened to be in the area, hanging out with family and friends and ran across this place to get some food. We love Asian style food and couldn't wait. We ordered the Award Winning Bulghoagie, Kimchi Fried Udon, Loaded Fries, and Korean Cheese Corn Dog. Everything taste pretty good and was properly prepared. It pretty far from my house, so I haven't been back to try some other things on the menu. It was raining this day, so it would have been nice to stay inside and eat but they have absolutely no space for that. The food would have probably been better if it was fresh. Preparing the food took a little while but it was 9 of us coming into a small establishment all at once.

What stands out here is the great service! They are so friendly and welcoming here. Seating is very limited to one table outside and one table inside. Parking is metered all along the street. The flavors were absolutely delicious and the food was made to order quickly. I really enjoyed my salmon bowl as well as their other dishes. The prices are a bit high, but considering the novelty of their items it was worth the splurge. Portions are just right for a light and healthy lunch. Great option if you're looking for something healthy, and flavorful in the area.

Korean BBQ Chicken Wings
James G.

Although the food was good, the overall experience was frustrating. Parking is limited to metered street parking, and in this neighborhood finding a spot is hit or miss. I ended up parking a few blocks away. Once inside, the only way to order was through a kiosk -- so much for asking questions. I also realized that you're actually ordering from two different restaurants on the same system. I entered my order for the grilled cheese sandwich, but when I backed out to the main menu to add the wings, the order was canceled and I had to start over. When I tried to order the wings again, the kiosk kept giving me an error and wouldn't process it and at the end of the transactions, I was asked, how much do I want to tip? There are only a handful of seats inside and a bench out front. The tables were filthy. I had the bulgogi grilled cheese sandwich and my partner ordered the Korean BBQ chicken wings. We both agreed the food was good, but it felt pricey for what we got. Driving home, my thought was simple: good food, but not an experience that makes me want to come back.

Bulgogi Tacos
Bella S.

A very small restaurant along 3rd ave in the Beverly Grove area. Only metered-street parking available. The outside of the restaurant is nicely decorated, so it's easy to spot. The music they were playing was too loud to enjoy a meal there, so I got it to-go. You can order online, at the kiosk tablet or talk with a staff member to place your order. Right off the bat, I noticed that they do not list the price of the menu items on the menu. I ordered 2 tacos (Galbi and the Bulgogi) and OMGEE, my eyes were shocked to see the bill of $37.13. Anyway, since it's my 1st time here, I thought, "ok, let's just try it and see if the quality and/or portion justifies the price. 1. Galbi Tacos (3.5/5): Galbi is basically marinated short ribs that's diced up. The flavor of the meat itself was good - tender, flavorful and slightly charred. It is topped heavily with a bed of Cole slaw, onion, cilantro and some creamy, tangy mayo-like sauce. I think the amount of toppings outweigh the meat portions, so it's not well-balanced at all. 2. Bulgogi Tacos (3.5/5) Rating the bulgogi meat itself, I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars, as the thinly sliced rib eye was marinated well in the bulgogi seasoning, which is umami-rich, garlicky and nutty from the sesame oil & sesame seeds. Like the other taco, the ratio of meat to toppings (slaw, onion, cilantro) is off. Of note, the corn tortilla for the tacos were very dry and easily tore apart, so it made eating the tacos super messy and quite a pain since they do not give you any utensils. I ended up ditching the taco shells and just eating the insides. Lastly, the limes they gave me with my tacos were completely dried, rendering them useless to dress my tacos (smirk). Even though each taco order comes with 2 tacos, $18/order for street-taco truck quality tacos and where the amount of Cole slaw outweighs the amount of meat ... this is just a bit too much. Sorry to say, but I will not be coming back. There's too many other restaurants in the area competing for my business.

This place is adorable! Cutely decorated. The price of the food is on the higher end compared to other places (moonbowl next door; AYCE kbbq has a lunch special that is priced the same). We got a bulgogi bowl based on the cashier's recommendation on what was popular ($23.5 tax and tip not included). The portion of the bowl is pretty big and there was decent sized amount of meat in it. Inside the bowl was rice, bulgogi meat, kimchi, and an egg. The kimchi tasted fresh and was seasoned well. However, overall the food (bulgogi/rice/eggs) tasted average, nothing out of ordinary or mind blowing that warranted the price in my opinion, even with the bigger portion. Cute vibes, but quality of the food did not match the price. 3.5/5

OMG SO GOOD! I order the rice bowl with salmon and was so so so good I can't stop thinking the food is delicious! Already excited to try more.

Cute Korean fusion spot that's good for a casual lunch. I ordered the Bulghoagie since it was unique. I ordered for to-go and it was decent. The sandwich came with a ton of fillings of bulgolgi, slaw, pickled cucumbers, and wonton strips to name a few. The bulgolgi was standard quality. Sweet, chewy, moist, and a quality that you'd expect from a non-traditional Korean restaurant. The veggies were crisp which I liked. It was covered in this kimchi sauce which was good, but it was practically drenched in the sauce which I did not enjoy. The sandwich was also super messy and hard to eat. I wish they cut the sandwich after it was assembled, but the sandwich seemed like it was put together on sliced bread which made it hard to eat. The wonton strips were unique and provided and nice crunchy element. The server was super nice and accommodating. He also packaged my order well. The interior and exterior are also cute and nice. There's even wifi and outlets, so a spot to potentially work at. Overall, a decent experience here. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but would if I'm looking for a quick and casual lunch option in the area.

After an exhausting play date with the kids near the Beverly Center, we searched the location for some good food to enjoy. We found this Korean delicacy nestled just on 3rd street off Western blvd. The restaurant is small and if not for the rain we would have enjoyed our food outside in the front miniature patio. We ordered the Korean Chicken Sando, loaded fries (pictured), strawberry churro fries, and one of their delicious rice bowls. The food was spectacular with full Korean flavor. The sauce on the chicken and provided were not as spicy as advertised but still tasted very good. The food was very robust and filling. Prices were on the higher side but definitely worth it.

Been wanting to try this spot for a long while and finally while in town was able to stop in!!! Super cute small space but great energy and great vibes!!! Myself and my dog were promptly welcomed and he was immediately spoiled with some treats....Owner was so sweet welcoming and so personable!!! So many options she was able to help me narrow down my options to the bulgogi and avocado bowl! Unfortunately had to take it to go but pleasantly surprised how yummy and great mix of sweet, salty savory and avocados was a nice touch of a little creamy!!! Pickled kimchi pickles were a nice touch but only negative....Rice over cooked and a bit soggy Highly recommended!!!

Extremely nice service good food local to me definitely gonna come back and I'm gonna bring a date... the name alone warrant to stop if you're on a date

Korean Fried Chicken Wings: Sweet & Tangy Side: Bap & Bird Elote
Jodi C.

Bap & Bird is serving up straight soul food with a Korean heartbeat. The chicken? Crispy perfection--glazed in a sauce that's equal parts sweet heat and umami, then showered in sesame seeds that add the crunch every bite deserves. The kind of flavor that makes you slow down mid-bite just to close your eyes and go, damn. But it doesn't stop there--side dishes like their creamy, sesame-crowned elote hit just as hard, balancing comfort with a kick. Every plate feels intentional, rooted in love, culture, and flavor mastery. Whether you're pulling up solo or rolling deep with friends, this is food built for sharing and built for storytelling. Bap & Bird isn't just a meal--it's an experience, a vibe, a memory in the making. Pull up. Bring an appetite. Thank me later.

Spicy Shrimp Bowl
Nooshi B.

I stopped in with my mom on a Wednesday evening to warm, friendly service from the woman working. She guided us through the menu and accommodated my mom's desire for a chicken bowl that wasn't spicy. I opted for the chili shrimp bowl. We sat outside and our food was brought out to us. Good portions and the food was tasty. I'd definitely come back to try some other items on their menu.

Exterior
Vladyslav V.

From the outside, the café looks cozy and atmospheric. Inside it feels a bit hipster, though in some places already a little worn out. Service is great -- friendly staff, fast and welcoming. We ordered rice with meat and vegetables (hot option). The portion was big and nicely presented, but the taste was disappointing -- bland and spicier than expected. Both outside and inside could be cleaner: leaves, dust, shaky furniture. A big minus -- the restroom, which looks more like a storage room. Overall, it's a nice spot with good atmosphere and service, but food and cleanliness definitely need improvement.

The soup was simply delicious with a smooth velvety texture and flavor. The ramen was so good (freshly made every day) in its finest al dente texture with a nice large diameter. Rare in The OC. The rib meat can be removed with chopsticks ! And the most tenderness of protein. The kimchi cabbage and radishes are so delicious. Spicy but not kickass (ok for me) biting into sweetness I've never tasted anywhere in the world that serves K-ramen. Service is most excellent as they immediately greet you, seat you, menu, then, the table top appetizers are served. I believe the owner or chef brought the entrees. That's different!

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!

We got the large bossam platter, kimchi jeon, bindae tteok, and mandoo guk. There was 5 of us and it was a lot of food. We had quite a bit of leftovers. Bossam platter was great, the meat was tender. I really enjoyed eating it with the radish wrap. It didn't feel greasy at all. Paired with the mandoo guk to take a break from bossam was the best. Service wise, we did hit the button for a server and it took a bit for them to come help us. It was a bit busy and we were in no rush.

Service was never that superb here, as the servers always looked busy and they're hard to flag down. Today was a busy night for them as well, we came at peak dinner time, but by 20 mins into our dinner, quite a few tables had cleared up. It seemed like they only had 2 servers on the floor - same ones I see when we come in for lunch. The taller gentleman is usually nicer and more accommodating. For a group of 6 people, we got so little banchan. Usually when I go to a Korean restaurant with more than 5 people, we usually get 2 sets of banchan for each side of the table. With 6 people, 4 guys, we ran out of banchan almost immediately. Some of my friends' water cups stayed empty unless we asked for more. Never once did either of the servers check on our table. Every time we needed something, we had to flag them down or go up to the register to ask. Things we asked for were all reasonable: 1st round: - water refill 2nd round: - water refill - banchan refill - another order of soju - sharing bowls for the soup When the other server had brought over the bowls for the soup, he slid it against my soju cup and it spilled on the table and my lap. He noticed it too even turned around, but didn't offer any napkins. Our water refill, banchan AND the bottle of soju never came. I had to get up and ask for extra napkins to wipe the table/my jeans. My friends went almost the entire meal w.o water - at one point, it was SO hard to find & flag them down. We gave up on trying to get more banchan & soju, finally got water refill at the end, had to flag down for check, had to go up to the register to have them close the check, by this time the restaurant was maybe 50-60% empty. I'm giving them a higher rating because this is still my favorite bossam and doenjjang jjigae. However, very bummed to have experienced such an unpleasant service.

I dropped by for lunch around noon on a Saturday and was so happy to be seated right away. Our party was a table for 5. Although half of our party was running late, the staff allowed us to be seated and didn't rush us to order. It was a refreshing experience, especially in koreatown - and a busy restaurant at that. We ordered the banchan set for 3 and 2 mains - Galbi and corvina. The banchan came with a variety of side dishes - that are refilled if you need more. The galbi was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, while the corvina was equally delicious and a nice addition to the table. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were incredibly generous. Overall, Borit Gorae continues to deliver on both quality and quantity. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Koreatown, and I'll be back again!

I'm vegetarian, my 3 other friends are all omnivores so we got the set for 3 and then ordered 1 meat dish for them to share and even then there was a CRAZY amt of food. There is such a large variety of banchan + 2 soups (1 soybean paste soup or doenjang jjigae and the other a chicken soup). The banchan tasted fresh, healthy, and delicious overall. You can also ask for rice refills as your meal progresses in case you get low in comparison to the sides. Oh, and I almost forgot, they also gave us jeon/small pancakes which were deeelish. My friends loved their meat dish as well so all in all very happy and absolutely worth the price imo. We were all so stuffed by the end and just as we thought we were done, they gave us two different desserts and I definitely KO'ed on the spot. The interior is warm, inviting, and stylistically decorated with a lot of Korean touches. The center of the restaurant also has a variety of takeout containers so you don't need to feel like you're inhaling all the food at once and can take things to go.

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.

Boy was it a great spot to stop by for dinner. Ordered: Army Stew $46- lots of sausage/hot dog, i wished there was a bit more ramen but thats because there was way more toppings than noodles in my opinion. I'm glad that they didn't charge a lot but gave less ingredients. Braised Short Rib $54- tender, a bit sweet, and be prepared to use your hands to grab the ribs. Prices are a bit high but its big and sharable. And unlimited banchans, although I was a bit sad that they ran out of fish cake.
