I have searched for the traditional flavor of Kimchi-jjigae (김치찌개) for so long since Nakwon closed down. And every place I've gone in K-town always disappoints. Even in Seoul it was hard to find such rich and tasteful flavor of Kimchi-jjigae (김치찌개) with its red iconic color. This place has won my heart and it gave me the comfort I was seeking for so long. I will be back. Hands down two thumbs up. Over all the service is great and the flavors are explosive. read more

Double check your bill after lunch. I ordered the lunch price hotpot and got charged full. I accidentally paid without checking. Then they lied about it when I tried to inquire while brushing me off. Congrats you made $10 to lose a customer for life! Amazing business practice. read more

I tried the octopus, intestine, and shrimp hot pot for $51.88 and was pretty disappointed. There were only a few pieces of octopus and intestine, and the shrimp tasted like frozen shrimp. Almost every grab was 99% vegetables and fillers. I had to dig and search for every tiny piece of main protein. For the price, I expected a much more generous portion and better quality ingredients. The portion was surprisingly small and didn't feel worth the cost. It honestly looked more like a packed leftover portion than a freshly made dish. Overall, I left pretty underwhelmed, especially considering how expensive it was. read more

Yeogiyo is tucked inside a busy mall with valet-only parking for $3. We ordered the jjolmyeon and donkatsu - both were fine but nothing particularly memorable. The jjolmyeon had good flavor but leaned a bit heavy on the sauce, the donkatsu was crispy and about what you'd expect, and the banchan was decent. Overall, a decent, no-frills meal. read more

Really good Korean style hotpots that come with two rice bowls! It's def worth the money and I absolutely loved every dish I've had here. The perilla soup was amazing. All their stews have been solid and are good if you want your own dish. But the hotpot's are so great for sharing! Good side dishes too. My favorite is the spicy chicken with intestines because it has large and small intestines. It wasn't that spicy and bc of the intestines, it'll oily but man is it good. The chicken didn't hold on to much of the flavor so I drenched it in the sauce. My only complaint is they aren't super flexible with the menu in customizations. I was willing to pay more for adding on things they had. I also asked if I could mix two different things from two different hotpots that were the same price. Parking is valet unless you get lucky and find street parking. Valet is $5 cash or $6 if you pay through an app read more

YeoGiYo - Chicken and intestines - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

YeoGiYo is a nice, modern Korean restaurant that sits as a contrast tot he more homely Chunju. It's a 7-8 top with a pretty decent menu that covers stews, bibimbaps, pancakes, and soondubus. The also have alcohol for sale though covering beer, soju, and makgeolli (comes in a big bowl that serves 4). Bibambap tastes of good quality and nice the rice would crisp up when you let it sit. After mixing, will feel a bit light on the bulgogi though so would recommend getting the meat plate if you want more protein. Seafood pancake was good though - good pieces of seafood and egg and fry. Service is nice and they played all the modern kpop hits. read more

Beef noodle soup was spicy and phenomenal, must try it. Service is attentive - you'll want for nothing. Bibimbap came in a stone pot and was nice and crunchy. Small location but plenty of seating and modern decoration. Valet is $5 cash for convenient parking in the same plaza. They also accept zelle and venmo for $1 more. read more

I recently visited this restaurant Saturday night and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. From the moment we sat down, the service was extremely slow and inattentive. It took far too long just to receive basic items--menus weren't provided promptly so we took it from the table next to us, had to wait 10+ minutes then even had to ask for utensils, and about another 5 minutes to get a glass of water. The overall pace of service made the entire meal feel frustrating rather than enjoyable. It seemed like there was a lack of organization or urgency from the staff, even though this place does not that many tables. To make matters worse, the food itself did not make up for the poor service. The quality was underwhelming. Beef bulgogi thats recommended by the server was probably the worst Ive ever had- it had zero flavor and freshness. Octopus/intestine/shrimp hot pot was just okay. Considering both the long wait times and the disappointing dishes, the visit was not worth it. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant based on my experience. There are definitely better options out there that provide both timely service and higher-quality food. The valet guys outside the restaurant were a lot more friendly than the servers here. 맛있는 식당이라 해서 기대하고 갔는데 많이 아쉬웠습니다. 서버분들 서비스는 거의 없다시피 하여 거의 처음으로 팁 주기 싫단 생각이 들었지만 고생하시니 10%주고 왔어요. 들어갈때 나올때 인사라도 했으면 15%줬을거 같아요. read more

The food was ok. Not bad but also not wowing. The seafood pancake was very eggy. It tasted more like an omelette than a pancake. The spicy pork was good. Had a generous portion and some heat. The short rib was quite disappointing as the meet was not tender. We were struggling to chew it off the bone too. The servers were friendly and the place was clean. read more

Decided to stop by on a Sunday evening with not a lot of other people dining in and was seated quickly. The staff here are so friendly and they came out with our orders very quickly. Recommended Items: - dumplings 9/10 - spicy squid dish 8.5/10 (wish it was hotter as in temperature wise) The dishes were really good, but nothing mind blowing the food here is a great alternative if other places are closed or full. Definitely recommend giving it a try. The prices on the menu are a little questionable noticed that some dishes like the sides are more expensive than the entrées. The restaurant itself has a lot of seating so that is a plus. Parking is valet or street parking only read more

Solid Korean restaurant with all the Korean food classics! I got the YeoGiYo Pork Tonkatsu and it was very good! The pork cutlet and a nice, breaded exterior and it was perfectly fried. The pork meat was also nice and tender. The side veggies and sauces complimented the cutlet well. They also gave my friend and I side bean sprout cold soups which I appreciated. The banchan variety was great as well and I liked the bean sprouts the best. They had good flavor. I also tried my friend's hot stone bibimbap and it was good too! The interior is clean and the service was good! I would definitely come back to try the other menu items. read more

We had a very excellent lunch here. The banchan had a couple more unique items and the soup was very good. Our server was great too. The highlight though was who I assumed was the chef came out to ask every table how things were tasting...when he came to us, we said everything was great, but he noticed I was eating spicy soup in a white shirt and offered me a plastic bib to use. So incredibly thoughtful!!! Definitely recommend. read more

YeoGiYo - Spicy beef soup - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Been here twice already - you cannot go wrong with this place if you're in the mood for a hearty, heartwarming, and warm shareable meal. Do come with at least one other person because you're totally here for the korean style hotpot. I have ordered H01 and H02. H01 is octopus, intestine, shrimp but we swapped the intestine out for pork belly. The seafood is fresh, and the broth is not that spicy. H02 is kimchi pork belly, and the amount of cabbage is GENEROUS with thickkkk pieces of delicious fatty pork belly. A bit spicier than H02, but much needed for chilly nights. I love adding ramen to the hotpot ($2.50 extra). You get 6 different banchans and I really liked all of them. Very good variety. I love how clean the interior is and how brightly lit the space is. Each time I've been here, there are only 1-3 other tables dining, so it's never too busy. Service is super fast and staff is quite friendly. Valet parking ($3 for lunch or $5 for dinner) or street parking. read more

GET THE SPICY PORK HOCKKK. I mean it. It's spicy, fatty, tendons... so good. We also got the beef and seafood tofu soups which were good. We got the beef one because it's the best seller but actually I think the seafood one tasted better. Anyway, get the spicy pork hock because we liked it the most at this place. read more

This place recently opened up in the plaza that I love and we decided to try it out. It advertises itself as premium Korean restaurant and I have to admit every dish did feel premium and fresh. It was incredibly delicious. I had the bulgogi soup and my wife has the squid bibimbap. The Bon chon was incredibly delicious and clean as well The server was kind, attentive and served us greatly. I honestly wouldn't mind coming back again. In fact, I most likely will come back !! read more

The atmosphere is lively and modern perfect for a group gathering. The service was prompt, friendly, and attentive; our server expertly managed the big hot pot and kept our table running smoothly. The Gamjatang (Pork Bone Stew) was rich, deeply savory, and perfectly spiced. Packed with tender pork bone meat and vegetables, this huge portion is excellent for sharing, the Haemul Pajeon was huge, golden-brown, and perfectly crispy. Loaded with scallions and seafood, it was one of the best I've had--savory and not oily and the Naengmyeon was incredibly refreshing. The icy broth and chewy noodles provided a great contrast to the hot stew. read more

This is the first time we've tried vietnamese rice rolls and it was amazing. You know it's super authentic when the place is filled with locals. We weren't sure whether to get the egg or pork rice rolls (#7 or #8) so the helpful waitress said we can do a mix. Both were great! The bun bo hue was also amazing with flavorful soup. Will definitely come here again and worth the trip! read more

Cute decor, decent service, and good range of food on the menu. However the spicy stews were not great. It wasn't too spicy -- I love spice and have a huge spice tolerance. Unfortunately, the main and seemingly only flavor in the dish was just spice, which made it hard to taste anything else. I've never had this issue at other Korean spots. I'd come back and try something else though! I liked the pollock stew. read more

Not sure when this place opened or what but they seem to still be in soft opening type mode... One of the guys was constantly coaching a younger dude and I felt like I was watching a Korean drama with those horrible, nagging bosses... At one point the waiter came over to take our order and then suddenly walked away to greet some newcomers...talk about rude... The food is typical traditional food but nothing was really all that amazing... The biggest appeal is that the place is newly renovated and so everything looks new and clean. read more

I think one of the troubling things regarding this plaza would be parking. Not only do you have to pay for parking, but it's cash only and there's not many spots I feel like. Disregarding that they do have pretty interesting restaurants and many at that. We chose this place because their menu seemed enticing. When we walked in, we were greeted right away as well as seated right away. Brisket Soybean Stew(5/5): I thought the soup was pretty flavorful and the tofu was pretty smooth. The brisket was so soft, buttery, and very delicious! The soup felt very comforting and homey. Spicy Raw Oysters(4/5): The good thing about this dish is the amount of oysters they put in. I thought there was a pretty good amount. However, I thought it lacked a little in flavor but it was still a good dish overall. Side Dishes(3/5): I liked the cucumber kimchi as well as the one next to it, but I felt like the others lacked in flavor. Service(5/5): Our server was nice and came to us fairly quick whenever we called for them. The food came out pretty quick as well. Overall, a pretty good place to go to if you don't mind the parking situation! read more

My friend and I meet up for dinner every few weeks trying out new restaurants and today we decided to check out yeogiyo. This place is relatively new so it was nice and clean. We ordered the chicken & intestines casserole, and the kimchi noodle along with another noodle which i dont recall the name. The banchans were very tasty and the food was also pretty good. The casserole was a bit on the sweet side but was good to eat with rice. However, for the price, there should be more meat. I would come back to try other dishes. read more

Overall, this place is quite average. I got the cold noodles and they were too sour for my liking. I prefer when the flavor is more neutral sweet and then I can add my own vinegar and mustard to enhance it. The portion size were quite generous and my companions really loved their bibambap. The seafood pancake was also heavy on the batter and not very crispy. Food came hot, service was friendly, but flavors were a little lacking. read more

Got the Nakji Bokkeum (Spicy Squid) and loved it! The taste of the dishes here is a bit cleaener than others in my opinion

The food here is so good! We got the (1) monk fish stew (S15) was delicious, light and refreshing (non-spicy); (2) spicy octopus stir fried (F04) was amazing, the octopus was tender, there were lots of vegetables, it was really spicy and not sweet (my favorite); and (3) sweet and spicy chicken (M05). The chicken was really crispy even with the sauce, it was a little sweeter than I like but my husband loved it! My husband thinks the octopus and chicken would be a great to go over to have a beer. (I started eating and forgot to take a picture of the chicken until later. The soup was gone my then. ‍) read more

One of my favorite hot tofu soups. I ordered a Brisket hot soup and the meat was very soft and not tough. Usually when I eat beef with hot soup, it tough. The only disappointing part was the amount of meat. I had about 4 pieces. I also ordered the Spicy raw oysters. At first I thought there was little oysters but I was wrong. There were a lot of vegetables too. My waitress was very polite. read more

New restaurant in the plaza right next to Harucake. I love soup based restaurants and my partner and i have been wanting to try this place. The interior is super new and chic - the service was amazing. Our waiter was extremely friendly and spoke both English and Korean. I especially enjoyed the side dishes as they were fresh and diverse -- plus the kimchi was bomb ( it can be hard to find good kimchi in a lot of the restaurants in Ktown ). We shared a Bulgogi Stew/hotpot? Not sure exactly what it was called in English. It came on a portable stovetop and the waiter was very sensible in setting up the food. He made sure to block the fire with his hand while turning on the stove so it wouldn't burn us on accident! The soup base was perfectly sweet and salty and I especially loved the yam noodles. Unfortunately, we found the bulgogi in the stew to be a bit too hard to chew (tough?). Perhaps if the meat was sliced a bit thinner, it would be much more enjoyable. Would return again to give the other stews a try! Forgot to take a photo of the stew itself but got a picture of the inside :) read more
