    Great Korean food in a hole-in-wall location. Everything is good including kimchi fried rice with egg, corn & cheese, spicy chicken wings (not so spicy) and seafood pancake

    This late-night Korean spot is ideal for comfort food and drinks. They're open until 2 a.m., so be sure to try their uniquely flavored soju cocktails and chicken wings before you call it a night.

    Get the Kimchi pancake and spicy chicken wings. Probably add a few other plates too. There can be a slight wait for seating but dishes come out very quickly.

    Quintessential korean spot tucked away in the sunset with warm decor and great eats. Pancakes and kimchi rice were great. Get a big bottle of OB or HITE and you're good for the night

    My favorite place for late night. Known in my house affectionately as "the Garage." I love the chicken wings, kimchi fried rice, and seafood pancake. Get a casserole if you have a group big enough.

    Spicy calamari salad was tasty. Fried whole chicken was a little dry, but good with gochujang. Ask for it.

    Get there early, put your name in, then go have a beer and play darts across the street. Plan your menu before you sit down. Try the Spam Stew!

    It's where soju flows fast and furiously, and where locals go to get their Korean comfort food fix. Crowds are a given, so get here early or prepare to wait.

    Always such a long line for this cute resto in Sunset. Be prepared to wait half an hour on weekends at minimum.

    Only ordered the chicken wings and kimchi fried rice. I still like the wings at BonChon better. Beware of the size of soju order, it's served in a glass oil container
