“바삭바삭한 후라이드, 매콤한 양념치킨과 입맛을 확 당기는 간장치킨. 중학교 시절 나에게 첫 치느님의 문을 열어준 건 치킨데이였다. 치킨데이 왕자님의 인맥을 통해 가끔씩 공짜로 얻어먹던 닭들은 나에게 있어 얘기치 못한 즐거움, 마치 공원에 누워 네잎클로버를 찾는 행운이었다. 하지만 10년이 지난 지금 난 깨달았다. 치킨데이는 네잎클로버가 아니란걸. 한국에 와서 내노라하는 네네 스노윙, BHC 뿌링클, 굽네 고추바사삭 치킨을 먹어봐도 내 마음속 한 구석엔 늘 채워지지 않는 공허함이 자리잡고 있었다. 맛은 있지만 정이 없는, 뒷마당에서 키우던 강아지를 보신탕으로 먹으면 이런 맛이었을까? 그래서 이 리뷰를 통해 치킨데이에게 사과의 말을 전하고 싶다. 너가 최고라는 걸 깨닫기까지 10년이나 걸려서 미안하다고. 너는 행운의 네잎클로버가 아닌 항상 내 발밑에 자리잡고 있던 행복의 세잎클로버라고.“

“I went this week and ordered half Spicy Chicken Wings and half Soy Garlic Wings. The chicken was simply delicious and really hit the spot.

What really stood out was how kind and welcoming the owner and staff were. You can truly feel their passion for the restaurant and how much they care about quality and service. It made the whole experience even better.

Will definitely be coming back!“

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!“

“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡“

“I like the beef combo & definitely will be back again“

“Hardly a wait before 1pm 5-10. The entrance of the place is where the parking lot is, not on the corner of 5th street were I entered from 😅 they are very quick at clearing tables to let in more guests for dine in.

Ordered the brisket and it was delicious. Light and flavorful. Like others have stated, add your green onions and salt pepper or chili to your liking. Their radish and kimchi banchan were fresh and flavorful, my favorite being the radish! The milky smooth bone broth tasted delicious. Not heavy at all and so comforting!“

“My husband and I found this gem on one of our K town adventures. The food is phenonmenal, the staff was out standing they cook the meat right in the table for you. My husband who is not a big steak eater absoultly loved it. We have told several friends and we are definitely coming back.“

“First time here my family like it especially unlimited brisket“

“Whenever we visit Los Angeles a night at Origin is a must! The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly and fast, and the food is to die for!“

“The best AYCE Korean bbq restaurant. Meat quality is top-notch. They grill the meat for you but still allow you to enjoy the food at your own speed. I tried almost every meat and my favorite is the marinated beef rib with bone. It melted in my mouth. I love it and will come back.👍🏻“

“Good service and experience for Korean BBQ.specially the rice paper loved by many diner.“

“I love it so much . That was so yummy . Service good and so friendly.“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“Amazing authentic Korean food! The kkakdugi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and all of the side dishes were excellent. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was warm and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving authentic Korean comfort food. I'll definitely be back!“

“Jilli is just a really good spot. The food is solid, the makgeolli is so addicting, and the risotto is surprisingly soooooo gooood. But the staff is honestly the highlight. They’re genuinely friendly and fun without being over the top about it, not to mention very knowledgable about the selections. The kind of place that just has a good vibe and makes you want to come back.“

“Good food and fast service.“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Everything taste great whether it’s Original or Spicy. Whatever is your flavor, can’t go wrong either way. Good portions at affordable prices.“

“Delicious meat cooked at the table!“

“Amazing food, so worth the price as well! The 대창 is so delicious!! I have twin babies and the restaurant was very accommodating to my family & I with our stroller. We really appreciated it since we previously came from a way more spacious outdoor restaurant that gave us horrible service due to us having babies with us. So we left and decided to come to Yangmani instead to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Will be back for the amazing food and wonderful welcoming service from the staff! Thank you!“

“Great experience and reasonable price“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“Busy and noisy -- but very tasty. I like a place that takes you at your word when you say you like spicy food.“

“We ate inside at the counter and tried a little bit of a few things off the menu. The sweet & spicy fried chicken and fried chicken dumplings were delicious. 😋🍴 We also tried the bulgogi and spicy chicken bowl and both were so delicious. As a side note, the man that waited on us (not sure if it was the owner or not) was very nice and hospitable. ☺️“

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“Straight up delicious and authentic Korean food.“

“Big portions and good food! We ordered the kimchi pancakes, beef bulgogi with crystal noodles, and the tteokbokki noodle dish. I really enjoyed the pancakes, they were delicious and flavorful. My second favorite dish was were the tteokbokki noodles, they were thick and the mix of veggies and sauce all together really made the dish great.
The beef bulgogi and crystal noodles were good, but I feel that the bulgogi maybe could've had more flavor or seasoning. We also had some pork belly (not pictured), and this was my least favorite dish because of the flavoring.“

“Chi Chi never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The staff is friendly, attentive, and creates such a welcoming atmosphere every time I visit. The portions are generous, the restaurant is clean, and the overall experience is consistently excellent. Sean and Kenya are the best!!!! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“I came in an hour before the store closed. As soon as I walked in, the waitress was very nice. She let me know that it was self seating.I've never been to a ramyun place and honestly, I would recommend it. I got everything. The waitress recommended the rice cakes and a bowl of creamy ramyun with pork belly. It was so good the broth is very delicious and the seasonings were all perfect.I would definitely be coming back here“

“The food is always on point, and the staff are consistently attentive and accommodating. They're always on top of cooking the meat, making the experience enjoyable. The side dishes are also fresh, delicious, and plentiful.
Great service and consistently great food every visit!“

“This was one of the best all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spots I've been to. The meat was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly every time we ordered. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we always had everything we needed. The restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere for dining with friends and family. I'll definitely be coming back again soon!!!“

“A solid korean fusion. Scallop Pancakes were pretty on point. Steak was well cooked but did lack a bit of a wow factor. Perillia noodles were a good twist with very subtle notes and a bit refreshing and went well with the steak. A bit too dark to really appreciate the food. And also a bit loud. Kinda club vibes. Could transition to something a little more elegant considering the food and price point.“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“There wasn't a lot of Korean options I could find in SGV for a weekend lunch that included the regular tofu house kind of fare and that wasn't a place that BF and I were not returning to anymore. What caught my eye at Omma Tofu House was their cold buckwheat noodles, a perfect item to order on a hot summer day.

I knew I didn't have enough appetite to finish their combo of galbi and cold buckwheat noodles, so I opted for the cold buckwheat noodles only ($14.99). BF ordered the bulgogi and beef tofu soup combo ($22.99). Everything really hit the spot.

We've been back multiple times to try other things on their menu like their dolsot bibimbap, jajangmyeon, galbi, spicy pork, spicy grilled chicken, and seafood pancake. All were pretty solid. Our usual go-to now would be a solo order of tofu soup and a tofu soup combo with whatever protein we are in the mood for that meal. They refill banchan, so just bring back the empty plate to the counter for some more. The counter also has a self-serving water/tea machine so you can refill your cup too.

Plenty of parking in the plaza. They close at 8 pm for all 7 days of business, so don't stop by too late, as the food court also tends to shut down around that time.“

“The weather was gloomy, so I was craving something warm and comforting. The spicy mixed seolleongtang really hit the spot ! rich, hearty, and flavorful. It’s a cozy spot with very friendly staff, and perfect for a solo lunch. I’d love to come back for the galbi jjim next time!“

“My parents came out of town and wanted to try fresh raw crab and after browsing multiple websites we landed on this restaurant. The crab was perfect and exactly what they were craving. Food was really good and we really enjoyed it. We will definitely go back when they are back in town.“

“Everything was delicious, we had the bibimbap bowl, pork spicy bowl, and a single burger. I really enjoyed how flavorful the meat was in each bowl, and how hot and fresh everything was when it came out. The service was super fast and friendly as well. The cheeseburger and fries were also very good, I loved how thick the patty and fries were!“

“Absolutely amazing! The owner is so so sweet. Food comes out fast in the Korean corndogs are lightly battered to perfection. Highly recommend going here and getting all their different Korean corn dogs but also they’re soddeock.“

“What a fantastic spot to enjoy authentic Korean cuisine! The Soy Sauce Marinated Crab (Ganjang-gejang), Spicy Marinated Crab (Yangnyeom-gejang), and Braised
Short Ribs (Galbi-jjim) were all absolutely amazing. The service was top-notch, and I’ll definitely be coming back here again!“

“Teri & Yaki is such a hidden gem! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The teriyaki chicken was tender with the perfect balance of sweet and savory sauce, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better.“

“Went with my son who said the orders were so big that we might not be able to finish (cuz he wasn't very hungry) but...we finished everything. The banchan was tasty too. And the sign on the walk was just added bonus. ^^ Yummy food, clean, friendly service. Wish this place was near us!“

“Overall decent place for Korean Home Food. The Bibim Nangmyeon was good. But the namesake Yuk Gae Jang is just OK. Not bad. Not great. It happens to be one of my fave Korean dishes. So I try it everywhere. Hodori / Myung Ga / Gamjagol ranked higher for me.“

“Small mom and pop restaurant. We had two soon tofu soups and they were delicious. 👍🏾 Our order arrived quickly. Definitely coming back to try everything else! Wish they would label vegetarian options but the japchae is next on my list.“

“This place really has its own atmosphere. The overall vibe is great, the alcohol selection is solid, and the bartenders are friendly and welcoming. What I liked most is that the place feels relaxed and comfortable. It does not have that aggressive energy some bars have, and it definitely does not feel like the kind of place where people are looking for trouble. The atmosphere inside feels warm and friendly.

The main downside for me was the music. It would be much better if the DJ played something that matched the actual mood of the place. When there are only two or three tables occupied, the music is still blasting as if the place is packed and everyone is waiting for a huge drop. That feels a bit out of sync with the otherwise chill and enjoyable atmosphere.

Overall, it is a nice place with a lot going for it, but the music choice and volume could really make the experience much better.“

“Absolutely phenomenal ! And the food is absolutely delicious I couldn't believe I spent under $20 for such a wonderful design of takeout box it was beyond expectation like seriously, the only problem is probably the portion is not as much as I want . But overall it is worth it ! I would definitely coming back soon“

“Delighted with their service and food. Serving is perfectly good for 2 and with reasonable price.“

“Considered yourself warned. Very tasty food but on the spicy side even when you opt for mild. If you like spicy Korean food, you will love it.“

“Finally made it here after seeing some reels on IG. It absolutely lives up to the hype. We got seated easily with no wait on a Friday night at 7pm for 2 people. We got the seafood and green onion pancake (our favorite), the hot stone pot rice with seafood, and the noodles with young summer radish kimchi (cold noodle soup dish). Would highly recommend the pancake! I’d say get the hot stone pot rice with beef or pork. The service was great; there’s a sweet older woman who took our order, mixed our wasabi into our soy sauce and literally put it on the pancake for us and she also boxed up our food. The restaurant got busy, but the food still came out quickly! Great spot, definitely will go back.“
