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

Rice bowl with salmon  Salmon Bulgogi Bowl

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.

I used to regularly pick up the Iced Thai Coffee during my breaks at work and the street style fried rice when I left work late but today I wanted to go slow with some Beef Meatball Pho. I haven't sat down here in a while so the menu's seen some changes. A few of the drinks I used to get don't appear anymore but the popular Iced Thai Coffee and Thai Tea were still there. Though coming in, the guy behind the counter asked me not to sit on my regular spot, almost got my order wrong and asked how the food was before I started eating. It really harshed my vibe of the place. The bowls of pho now use red onions instead of white. They taste a bit more biting than before with a lingering aftertaste. Staff say the changes were made a few months ago and it definitely gave the soup more impact. Though the Strawberry Limeade wasn't a very good pairing. The meatballs are cut and portioned differently as well. Though not too different as to how they were before, the ingredient looks ready to be had in other dishes like a Bahn Mi. Overall different to how I used to have it. I'd had considered a dessert but the same wait staff presented me with my bill before I could consider. Overall an odd dining experience where I felt rushed and a little unwelcome. Though it's always good to see familiar faces among the staff.

All the yakitori was cooked to order and everything came out really good. We also had the Hokkaido Scallops & Sweet Shrimp Crudo, which was delicious.

Interesting experience to say the least…read more Came on a Saturday night off the whim and was seated right away. There's indoor and outdoor. Outdoor consists of the sidewalk & a sectioned off patio section. I liked the dark ambiance, it felt very romantic. The lighting was very intimate. A waitress came, got our drink orders and we ordered the duck breast as an appetizer. We got our drinks, which the tall glass is very misleading as I felt like I barely sipped anything and it was GONE, lol. I ordered the watermelon drink and it was tasty, I just wanted watermelon water anyways. It came with a watermelon slice which was nice. After the drinks we were WAITING idk how long until a different waitress came and took our order ?? We put in our entree, received them & never got our appetizer. We were waiting a long time for someone else to come by. I ordered the seared kanpachi jalapeño roll, which 10/10!! it was flavorful, had the spice & felt fresh. I didn't have to add anything like soy sauce to it. I just eat all my sushi with ginger and it paired great with it. Finally someone showed up & we said we ordered a duck breast appetizer with the first waitress, which was never put in. So the second waitress went ahead and put it in. The duck breast has an interesting texture. I can't explain it. I did not like the texture. The flavor was fine but the texture really threw me off personally. Kind of reminded me of pâté cat food, it felt like how paté cat food looks if that makes sense. Texture wise. Overall, service was trash. The waitresses were both unfriendly, but I guess that's just LA customer service nowadays. We waited forever. Spent more time waiting rather than eating. Valet or street metered parking. Restrooms in the back, 2 single unisex stalls.
