Yesterday I visited the location and verified that there is a sign on the window stating that the restaurant is permanently closed. Emily Grill was the only high quality, reasonably priced Korean fast casual in the West Side. Wishing the gracious owner best of luck and appreciation for her hard work providing the Palms and Culver City neighborhoods with delicious Korean food. You will be sorely missed.

Yesterday I attempted to place an order on Emily Grill's website only to find out that the restaurant has closed permanently effective today, 10/28/2023. This news is heartbreaking to our family. Emily Grill was the only high quality fast casual Korean restaurant in the Westside. The owner was an absolute sweetheart, who always offered us complimentary drinks and kimchi along with our meals. Truly a sad day for Westside diners. Emily Grill will be sorely missed.

I'm heartbroken to find out I will never be able to dine here again. Emily Grill was always my go to whenever I wanted something comforting, well balanced and healthy. My favorite was the spicy pork. The miso soup, kimchi, broccoli and carrot were just the perfect complement. Service was always good. The lady was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Ambiance was clean and casual. I wish them all the best for their future endeavors.

Great food and great staff, the lady owner is always so nice and gives me extra Kimchi when I ask. Price is reasonable for west LA. Very sad that today fri Oct 27 will be their last day! go order todays dinner for the last time with them! Very unfortunate that these mom and pop shop can't survive. Best wishes to the owners! We'll miss you!

This was a wonderful surprise! I was meeting a friend who was staying in the area, and my friend is very into K-Pop so I thought Korean food would be perfect! When I drove up and saw that this restaurant was in a tiny strip center with not much parking, I did not have much hope. Once the food arrived, all worries were gone! Everything was so good and the lady working there was truly lovely. My friend had the chicken bowl and I had one of their trays with spicy chicken. I was hungry but was amazed (I normally take half home) when I ate everything. It was really good!We highly recommend the restaurant!

Service was nice and friendly! I LOVED LOVED LOVED my meal. It was my first time trying something like this and it didn't disappoint. When I go back I'll get no tofu (it was good just not my thing) & ask for less dumplings. The veggies & broth were the stars. Kimchi was kinda average but still good.

Bilgogi bibimbap was a healthy mix of seasoned bits of beef, rice and broccoli, zucchini and ... Large portions. Satisfying and filling.
Really tasty and very big portions. The owners are really sweet and kind.

The food at this place is remarkably fresh, and the portions are generous. The flavors are incredibly delicious, making for a thoroughly enjoyable meal. The service is exceptionally friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend this establishment for a satisfying and well-rounded dining experience. You won't regret giving it a try. While there may be a 10-15 minute wait time, it's definitely worth it.
