When I eat octopus, I think of this place.It's really delicious to eat volcanic steamed egg and flying fish roe dipped in mayonnaise on the side.

Spacious indoor dining and parking is by the hotel. Service was very accommodating and nice. Food is BOMB. It's a nice sharing size with a friend or group of friends. Jookoomi is fried octopus with spicy flavoring and you can add udon, veggies, etc. Wealso ordered a side of joomukbap which is a cod roe, seaweed and rice mix where you can mold into rice balls yourself. Super nice. My favorite part of the food combination was the mayo cabbage side that came with the side dishes. it was so good and perfectly nice with everything. the perilla leaves were also really yummy and important to eat with the octopus. also the mountain of golden yellow on one of my pics is the biggest bowl of steamed egg you will ever eat. a nice separation when eating something slightly spicy I highly recommend.

If you love octopus and love spicy, Yongdudong Dokkaebi is a must must try. The restaurant is nestled next to a Ramada and Shabuya. If you enter through S Bonnie Brae St from Olympic, there is a parking lot next to Metropolitan Inn. I think it is $3 or $4. Got 2 orders of Spicy Baby Octopus with Level Spicy Spicy. I also got an add on of udon noodles. Before the main, they give you perilla leaves, radishes, salad and seaweed to help you choose a vessel for the octopus. They cook it and bring it to your table to cook a bit more.The spice level is perfect for me as I love spicy food, but I had a sweat going. Perfect accompaniments to wrap the delicious octopus was perfect. Once you're almost done, add the fried rice. It was amazing. Just a perfect bite each time.This place is one of my personal favorites. The waiter and waitress are amazing and super nice. It's a great spot if you want a drink with a meal or just come to enjoy anju with beer. I constantly look to come at least once a month. If you haven't tried this place yet, I would highly recommended you add this to your list!

It was very good but thought the portion was small for the price. Place was huge. Parking is across ramada hotel on the small street side.

It was really good octopus but the price is expensive 21.99 for the size ratio I mentionand he didn't tell us it wouldn't be in a pot for 1 person, so had to order 2nd round with two orders for the sizzling pot. Ended up being like $80 for two people. We also added slice pork belly. Parking on streets.

It's hard to find squid on a pan (on a portable stove) in front of you and the seasoning is perfect! Recommend asking for mayo to dip the spicy squid into and make sure to wrap with the radish and perilla leaves. We ordered 3 servings for 4 ladies and it was more than enough food. We added jjolmyun and pork belly and cheese too! Parking is next to the motel on Bonnie Brea St (there's a small white wooden sign and we missed it a couple times). It's valet but ktown is almost all valet parking. Service was good! Good comes ready to eat and it sizzles on the pan. Once you're ready for the rice at the end, they prepare it perfectly. The restaurant is big and lots of seating. It's not too known or popular so definitely easy to get seated and good for larger parties!

They just got a new chef, and taste is much better than before. Will come back anytime soon, highly recommended!

Since the move, the menu has changed and prices have risen. There were no chicken feet, so white kimchi was also missing from the basic side dish. As for the spiciness level, level 1 became level 2 and a less spicy level 1 was created.Maybe the person in the kitchen has changed, but the octopus is a bit thinner than before? The steamed egg has become dry, but LA is still the best for octopus!For reference, fried rice used to be free if you ordered two or more, but now it costs $2. But the amount is much less than before. I understand that prices have risen a lot, but I am a bit disappointed that it has been downgraded compared to before, so I took off one star.

Spicy level 2 I got it, but as someone who likes spicy food, it's okay to have it spicy, but I'm more surprised by the spiciness than I thought haha ​​But the webfoot octopus and fried rice are awesome! It was delicious! service is good

The fried squid, octopus, and fried rice are delicious. Every time I go, the female employee always wears her long hair untied, which bothers me, but the food is delicious.

As expected~~~~ The taste of octopus is the best!!! :)The friendly service was also good.Since it was still a soft opening, there wasn't much else on the menu other than the octopus menu, but it was okay since we visited because of the octopus.The menu will expand in August, so I look forward to visiting again!
