Chil Po Korean Restaurant

Super authentic korean meal. Really loved it. One of the best korean restaurants in LA, for sure.

A must visit to this hidden gem. My first bite took me right across the Pacific Ocean to South Korea. Don’t be fooled by the old exterior and interior of the restaurant as each dish brings you truly authentic Korean flavours. The beef bulgogi is the best I have tried.

Regarding the poor customer service comments from other patrons, I can imagine this is due to the level of English that the owner and staff speaks. In fact, all I heard while dining is just Korean (including all other patrons). We managed to somehow communicate with each other but I can only imagine the language barrier is a sign of the authenticity of the dish itself.

Hwangsil Bossam is so good. I am definitely bringing my future date here.

From the outside, this restaurant looks old, and even inside, it feels like it could use some refurbishment. However, the food is absolutely delicious. In Korean cuisine, we use the expression "son-mat," which refers to the unique taste that comes from skill and experience. There’s a saying that the older the restaurant, the better the "son-mat." The food here is incredibly flavorful. Definitely coming back

We first tried this restaurant over a year ago. The food was ok, but the service was bad. We decided to give it a second try. Bad decision.Service has gotten from bad to worse. It was non-existence. Food took a very long time, and no, there were only two other families besides us.They practically dumped our food on the table and ignored us for the entire evening. We asked for a refill of hot tea. The waitress walked by our table three times, but no tea refills. We asked for water. The waitress pretended she didn't understand even thou we waived an empty cup in front of her. We repeated slowly, almost had to spell it out--W A T E R. She refilled one cup and ignored the other three cups. ?Oh, our six plates of banchans were totally emptied. Dare she asked if we'd like refills? Not!!! Their motto must be NO REFILL of anything.NEVER again. There are plenty of other Korean restaurants in this area that serve great foods and customer service. Last, they were rather pricey for a run-down nondescriptive place. Definitely not worth your time or money.

The bulgogi is delicious and the seafood stew seems to be a popular side dish.

The seafood is fresh and the seafood stew is delicious.
There is a lot of oriental medicine Bossam. It's a bit disappointing that the radish and oysters are missing.
Still delicious
