Chefs FeedAugust 18, 2016Chef Suzanne Goin of AOC loves Korean food, and this is one of her favorite late-night hangouts with super tasty food. She always order scallion pancakes to go with the steamed pork belly. Yum! Read more
Bellina GNovember 18, 2017Best Korean Restaurant in Ktown ... Me and my friends had a great time! cheers ~~ we will be back very soon !!!!Food is Fantastic , Service is Friendly and Atmosphere is to die 4 .
Simple FoodieFebruary 24, 2015Lunch Box, House Kimchi Stew, Skewers - gizzards, beef intestines(tripas), pork belly, Korean style Hash Brown to soak up goodness. Great place to hang with friends.
sophia le fragaMarch 4, 2019the corn cheese is incredible, the deep fried blood sausage is a thing of dreams... not to mention how amazing it is that it’s open late. i cherish this place and am so happy to live closeby
Connie ChiuNovember 26, 2018fav Korean pub with old school vibes! rice cakes + ramen, kimchee pancake, spicy fried chicken, soups/stews, & corn cheese. Didn’t love the skewers and hand rolls. Get the grapefruit rice wine.
Andrea NguyenJanuary 9, 2023Such a fun place to go with friends on a weekend. It gets pretty crowded, but they get people in and out quickly. Environment is super lively, and the food is great. So many different things to try.- Their corn cheese very delicious here. One of the best I've ever had. If you like spicy must try the Chicken Gangjung Boneless... very spicy unless u requested it
LongApril 4, 2015Try the kimchi omelette. The eggs are very fluffy and the kimchi isnt overpowering. And you know that the eggs will help with your hangover later from the soju and beer.
Alexa WhitesideNovember 9, 2014The raspberry wine is super sweet and comes with enough for 3 or 4 people. Highly recommend the skewers. Brush up on your chopsticks skills if you need to. They don't do forks.
Travel ChannelAugust 26, 2012At this old-school, traditional Korean restaurant, Tony Bourdain drank makali (a fermented rice drink), and samples chicken gizzards and spicy octopus.
Anthony KJanuary 6, 2013the skewers were great at this korean "pojangmacha", the korean equivalent of a japanese izakaya (or gastropub). recommended with makgeoli.
Jinnie LNovember 9, 2014Ahhhh makkoli!!! ;) sizzling corn cheese, omlette (계란말이), rappoki, spicy chicken wings!! mix soju n hite (Korean beer) very good! :P- Bellina GJanuary 5, 2020Exceptional Atmosphere, Great Service and Always Delicious .. My Favorite Soju Spot
Foxxy BOctober 25, 2017Very dark, decorated (themed) old world Korean pub feel. When they say spicy, they mean it! Takes some time for the food to be prepped. Empty during the day, fills around 7.
Katherine M.August 22, 2019Feel transported in this dark, smoky bar in Koreatown. Order a round of soju for the table and plenty of drinking snacks.- Sanda SanJanuary 13, 2017Loved the Kimchi hand roll, i mean everything is pretty dang good. I only wasn't crazy about the frog legs.
Brandon HoangFebruary 6, 2022This place hits the spot after hitting the bars. Grab a beer in a mug and find a dark booth to slurp noodles.
Jonathan KramerAugust 8, 2014Ridiculously authentic, the kimchi jeon is fantastic and so is the ddeokbboki- Darius A.October 16, 2012The blackberry wine is really tasty, as is the yogurt soju and the cherry blossom wine.
Raymond ToFebruary 25, 2012The skewers are $1.99 on most items. If you are just snacking and drinking, it's an affordable way to spend the night
Kuttin EdgeMarch 17, 2019Worst experience. Menu is super cryptic with ~100 options on it. Waitress was uninterested, had no patience and got almost angry, wasn't willing to help or recommend sth at all. Bad bad service.
