I would say it was out of my expectations, I ordered a kimchi jigae and it taste really good! Is not crowded. Price was affordable. I think the restaurant deserve more exposure? Food was really good. Will visit again when I return to LA.

Had seaweed soup for breakfast here for $12 cash, no tax. Can't beat this deal anywhere with all the sides. The broth was rich and savoury, sides were all delicious. Awesome place.

One of the best Soondae spots I’ve been to. Amazing service

OMG I loved the experience. Heaven bless this sweet, nostalgic restaurant. The Korean lady who served me was very friendly and caring, the atmosphere reminded me of family. I tried their breakfast with seaweed soup and the food was delicious. The side dishes are homemade and have many varieties. 100% recommend 💖
Don Don Lee 골목식당 feels like stumbling upon a secret spot that only locals know about a true hidden gem in Koreatown. The vibe here screams 할머니 집밥 Grandma's home cooked meal straight out of Korea, and as soon as you step in, you're transported to a cozy little nook in the motherland.
The place is small, with just four tables, but that only adds to the charm. You know you've struck gold when the banchan side dishes are better than i expected, and Don Don Lee does not disappoint. I tried their soondae soup, which was on sale for just $12.99 a steal compared to most spots in LA. The flavor? Unreal. It tasted like I was back in Korea, slurping soup at a tiny corner spot. The portions were massive, loaded with generous chunks of meat, and left me in a happy food coma.
Next time, I'm definitely coming back for their soondae plate and bringing friends to share the experience. If you're craving authentic Korean comfort food and that nostalgic "home away from home" feeling, this is the spot. Highly recommend!!!

Small family restaurant, the lady was very friendly, foods were excellent and decent price. Breakfast package $10 was very good deal but we arrived past 10:00 am, so we didn’t get to try them. Highly recommended.
This is the best value for money house. I highly recommend this to those who like ripe kimchi. The portions are plentiful and the owner is generous. I went there early this morning, and it was a pity that it was closed because I went right at the opening time. Please note that the name of the restaurant has been changed to ‘Kisa Restaurant’.

You can taste like home-cooked food at an affordable price. Although it is a small restaurant space, it has a cozy feel during breakfast. Breakfast menu and fish are highly recommended.
A great place for breakfast.
