“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“I waited a year to come here from the east coast, and it was worth the wait. From the food to the atmosphere, I felt like I was in another dimension with the unique take on regional cooking styles to the sound quality of the music. You could taste the freshness in the ingredients — even the cheese in the dessert was clearly homemade and freshly made. This is such a unique and special place. Thank you for a wonderful experience. This was the best food I had in a long time.“

“Amazing place. A real gem and great find. The mackerel bento tier 2 was amazing. The fish was butter and crispy. All the vegetables were so tasty too. The area it’s in is a bit rough, but this place is worth it. The inside is decorated nicely and it’s a nice atmosphere. The staff was nice and the even gave us cute holiday cookies. Can’t wait to visit again“

“I finally checked out Enchant LA in Koreatown and was honestly impressed by how well they pull off Korean fusion without it feeling forced.

We ordered a mix of classic and creative dishes, and everything delivered. The Kim’s Kimchi Pasta was the standout for me. The stir fried kimchi and bacon added a smoky, savory kick, and the creamy pink sauce tied it all together in a way that felt rich but not heavy. It sounds unusual, but it works extremely well.

The Bulgogi Quesadilla was another surprise. The sweet soy marinated beef paired perfectly with the melted mozzarella and Mexican cheese. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside. It felt like comfort food with real flavor behind it.

The Korean Fried Chicken was exactly what you want. Super crispy wings with no greasiness, and the house made sweet and spicy garlic dipping sauce was addictive. Easily one of the better Korean fried chicken orders I’ve had in LA.

We also got the Asian Orange Ginger Salad, which was refreshing and balanced out the heavier dishes. Fresh greens, bright citrus, crunchy almonds, and a light ginger dressing that didn’t overpower anything.

The La La Galbi Set was satisfying and well portioned. Tender marinated short ribs, smoky sausage, grilled onions and peppers, and rice to soak up all the flavor. Simple and comforting.

The vibe inside is casual and welcoming, and the menu gives you a lot of options whether you want something familiar or want to try something different. Overall, Enchant LA is a great spot if you’re in Koreatown and want Korean food with a creative twist. I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu.“

“Delicious food. Fast service. Get here early to avoid a long line.“

“amazing food and good for family“

“food is amazing and staff is top-notch“

“I’ve had Orange Chicken all over SoCal and Arizona, and most times its just sugary and forgettable. The Chicken Bowel is 🔥✨️🍜✨️
Panda can't even touch this place...

The first bite hit with a real orange punch — bright, sweet, slightly tangy, and balanced. 🍊✨ Crispy chicken, perfect glaze, no soggy nonsense. Just crunch and flavor working together. 🤌🔥

The bed of white rice was perfect. 🍚 It let that citrus shine instead of competing with it. Every bite was clean, bold, intentional. D-lish

Portion was solid… but leftovers never stood a chance. 😤

The location is low key, but damn bro! Friendly staff. Fair price. ✅

If you're an orange chicken fan - this place hits different!

“best Thai food I've ever had and I have lived in Thailand“

“Excellent Filipino fusion food.“

“First time. Food was awesome. The salad dressing was missing, not sure if I ordered incorrectly but I recall choosing ranch and asian. Also not clear with the teriyaki on the side that it's extra, I was hoping to add my own, but the amount of sauce was not overdone and the extra helped. Thank you! Shall return to try other menu items!“

“Great food awesome experience“

“Buena comida y excelente ambiente“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“It's better than three stars. Got the sashimi rice plate. Not bad. Coulda used more rice though. Like I'm talking a bed a rice. Didn't get sick, believe it or not. I'm kind of surprised by that. Must be a quality joint. I was feeling fish today. Folks have to know what they're serving up and I'm grateful for it. But yeah that rice woulda been better if it came on a bed of rice. Only complaint.

Edit: in hindsight this place is actually good af. Def want more rice on the sashimi rice plate though“

“I had dwaeji-gukbap, and I highly recommend it.
There was no unpleasant pork smell, and the thickly sliced meat was very tender.
The pickled perilla leaves served as a side dish were especially delicious—I recommend placing them on the meat and eating them together.“

“Fresh and delicious😋👍 a healthy choice“

“Good food“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“
