“I came to this mom and pop restaurant on a Saturday night with no expectations and boy was I BLOWN AWAY. I absolutely loved it. The couple that own the place were super sweet and helpful in helping me decide what to get. I got the bulgogi bowl (first time ever having one) and it was one of the best dishes that I’ve ever had. I wish I lived closer to be able to eat there every, single, day. I cannot recommend this place ENOUGH, please give them a shot, you will not be disappointed.”

“Never really had Korean food or rice cake but then I tried out Halgattoek in Northridge. Food was amazing tried the Grandma Tteokbokki and the Chicken Gangjeong (Korean Soy Garlic) with a side of Gimmari and Rice Ball. Not only was the food amazing but the service was outstanding too. Very friendly staff, Janelle was amazing, checked in with us to see how we were and if we needed anything. Will be coming back for more!”

“If you are looking for an authentic and homey Korean restaurant in the valley, look no further. The side dishes were classics The highlights being the braised potato and chili cucumber salad. I ordered the soybean paste stew, not usually my go-to but I think I found a new favorite. Full of veggies, tofu and just enough pork to top off the meal - the stew (된장찌개) tasted better with every deliciously comfortingly salty mouthful. It was a bonus to be served Korean purple rice as well! The general energy on a lunch weekday was relaxed but friendly - I felt like I was sitting amongst regulars and I know I'll be joining them with more visits ! 10/10 recommend!”

“This is one of my favorite places on Sawtelle. Everything I’ve ordered has been excellent, and the Galbi and Seafood Sundubu stand out. I usually dine in, though I sometimes order food to go. The quality has been consistently outstanding. The restaurant is comfortable, and the staff are very friendly. With so many great restaurants lining Sawtelle Blvd, located in the area known as Little Osaka, it can be hard to decide where to eat. This place is always at the top of my list.”

“A hidden gem for Korean comfort food, this small shop goes head-to-head with anything you'd find in K-town. Everything is made fresh, the wings are crunchy and packed with flavor, the rice bowls come out piping hot and are filled with good-sized portions, and the folks running the place are friendly and accommodating. I've ordered nearly everything on the menu, and while I so far haven't found anything I didn't enjoy, the wings stand out to me as being the stars of this restaurant.”

“AMAZING matcha and customer service. I just ordered a matcha and the workers offered me a bit of dried apple so I wouldn’t feel sick from drinking the matcha on an empty stomach. It’s rare for establishments to have that kind of care for their customers. 🥹🥹🥹 strawberry matcha was also very, delicious. 10/10 would recommend.”

“This place is like a Korean convenience store but upgraded and it's right by UCLA. Fresh kimbap, banchan, warm meals, snacks, drinks, ice cream, frozen meal kits and so much more. What I tried: - Tteokbokki - Sweet Chili chicken - Beef kimbap - Bong Bong (Korean grape drink with real grape pieces inside) Total came out $30.86 The price-to-quality ratio is seriously 👌 Affordable, and you can just taste the effort they put into the food. Authentic flavors but elevated quality. The kimbap is so fresh! Thinly sliced ingredients, generous filling, light on the rice. perfect bite every time. Staff was super friendly, the storefront is clean and easy to spot, and there's public parking available. Already eyeing the egg-only kimbap for next time!”

“My daughter is in her K-pop era, so anything Korean is very cool to her right now. I love Korean food, so this seemed like a good fit, and it definitely was! We came in on a Saturday, and the place has a casual, welcoming vibe. The people behind the register seemed like the owners and were super nice. They asked if it was our first visit, walked us through the menu board, and made some great suggestions. My son isn’t too adventurous with food, so he got chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were huge and delicious! My wife really enjoyed the BBQ beef bowl, and my daughter loved the Galbi burger served on Hawaiian rolls. I got four Korean fusion tacos, which were also delicious. Everyone was happy with their meal. The service was great, and they even brought us freshly baked cookies at the end of our meal. That was a really nice touch. Super nice people, delicious food, and reasonable prices. We’ll absolutely be back or order takeout!”

Food can sometimes take a little while to come out, but it's always so fresh and delicious that its always well worth the wait. Their takeout options are also great!”

“My wife and I (I'm Korean, she's Irish American) ordered the real deal galbi (not AYCE) and she was very satisfied. The place was super clean and it was busy but the service was great. I actually thought the best thing I ate for lunch was the shrimp/vegetable tempura. It brought me back to my mom's/grandmom's cooking. I would be excited to go back and try other dishes. It's definitely not as fancy as Park's but definitely a quality, authentic KBBQ restaurant.”

“We used to have a Paik Noodle’s in our area, and it sadly closed 😭😭. Excited to find one within driving distance. Very clean, good service, and the food was delicious! We walked in really late but they were very hospitable and we were still able to eat in. We ordered the jjajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, soy garlic wings, and sweet and spicy wings. Everything was delicious. You can’t go wrong. They gave us some jjambong (soup only) as well. That was also delicious. We seriously ate it all.”

“The best Korean stews in the entire Valley. I know there's musse and few other places sell similar foods, but as a Korean who knows all the best places for this kind of food, the traditional soups are the best here in this area. If you want to have a decent experience with sulungtang (beef bone stew), yukgaejang (spicy beef stew with noodles), samgyetang (chicken with herbs and ginseng), hangover stew, without going to specialty places in koreatown this is your best bet.”

“This place was exceptional! We got a classic tofu stew, & a bulgogi hot stone. It was delicious. The service and atmosphere was excellent, and even though there was a bit of a wait when we got here, the server was very polite to direct us to their waitlist. My only small gripe with the food, is that, the beef in the tofu soup had a bit of a strange after taste, so I would probably choose the seafood option if I were to get that again. This was a nice restaurant, so expect to pay a bit more for dinner, but as far as tofu soup is concerned, its very similar to the quality of BCD tofu house.”

“Been visiting for 20 years. Taste and flavor are always on point! Friendly service, you won't get unless you get the owner herself. But the food is always so friggin delicious, that I don't care about friendliness. It's not full service anyway, and the food comes out quickly. And, the price is so reasonable - better than reasonable. I could almost never go to any other restaurants in the same plaza because this place is so much more superior.”

“This is the best Korean bbq I have ever had! We stumbled upon this place 30 minutes before it closed for the day, and ordered 3 different items on the menu: sweet and spicy chicken, soy and garlic chicken, and beef bulgoki. All three were amazing! I cannot stress how good and flavorful the food was. Highest quality! My only regret is that I didn't have time to go back again. Highly recommend the 3 dishes above and highly recommend having it there instead of bringing it back. Asim(owner) is a very friendly and welcoming guy. All the food is halal! Keep it up!!”

“Genuinely incredible. It is in a small plaza that doesn't get a lot of traffic, but I do hope that they thrive! When we walked in, I was initially pleasantly surprised at how the place did not smell smoky despite several occupied tables actively grilling meat. It wasn't until we directly walked past the tables that you got a small whiff--their ventilation is evidently top notch. They do have a smaller meat selection for the AYCE but that wasn't a dealbreaker to me at all. The quality of all of the cuts were so good that despite NEVER getting chicken at KBBQ, we ordered a portion of chicken just to try it out. It was such good chicken. The sides were delicious, perfectly fermented kimchi, pancake was delightful. Service was so attentive (5pm on a Wednesday). Servers would ask us if we would like refills of sides when we had finished them and would even ask us if we would like more meat when they saw that we had finished grilling that type of meat! Will absolutely be back here over making the trek out to ktown in the near future! :)”

“Food: this is a sports bar/dive that serves great Korean food. I recommend trying the chicken wings or kimchi pork fried rice. Parking: the restaurant has ample parking since it’s in a large shopping area, anchored by CVS. Tips: they offer a good variety of draft beers. They have pork hock, which goes great with beer when watching a game.”

“Love the side dishes and all of their jiggaes. I got the mushroom jiggae, and it was great. I’ve been going here for awhile, and the food always comes out super quickly, prices are reasonable, the side dishes have a good variety, and there always seems to be at least one table open. Or even on the rare occasion that all the tables are full, the chefs get the food out so quickly that the wait is never long.”

“Love Jo&Go Sushi. They saved me when we first moved to LA and while the house was being remodeled. 4 years later... it's still as good as first discovered. It's a neighborhood gem inside the Korean Greenland Mrkt, which btw, is also awesome. Must try is the salmon bowl, the salmon slices are so tender and buttery... they give you a crazy amount of salmon over the rice and seriously it's enough to have a 2nd meal! One note about the bowl... I'm not a fan of drenching really good cooked rice with sauce, so I always order without the sauce. The rice is not sushi rice which makes it even more delicious... the rice is always perfectly cooked. You get a miso soup and a cute little container of pickled radish (delish). I would love to know where they source the fish... it's like being in Japan, it's so fresh. I'll be catering with them soon and happy to update the review post order. The kind woman who takes the order is so sweet and cute, always smiling...says hi and bye all the time. If you're in the area, definitely give it a try for takeaway.”

The meat and soups are seasoned just right, not too salty. Menu prices for lunch and dinner are fair and the service is friendly and attentive. A great restaurant if you want good Korean food!”

There was no gosari which is kind of important and a bit oily with heavy amt of fish sauce imo. Nangmyeon was solid a 7.9/10. Its a bit pricey but cheaper then some eats in ktown. Plenty of parking in the back.”

“This place was definitely a place I was a little sketched out to stop by, but the reviews convinced me otherwise. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT WAS! I have lived in Santa Monica for 2 years now and this was my first time - some of the best food I have eaten since living in LA. Very fresh fish and unique flavor profiles. I got the Alaskan spicy roll and it was one of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had! 10/10 recommend!!! The gyoza was also phenomenal - very flavors and the sauce was awesome! I will definitely be ONLY going here for sushi moving forward!”
