About Goopojib

Goopojib is a restaurant that offers an incredible Korean dining experience. The side dishes, including fried tofu stew, kimchi, and bean sprout salad, are delightful. Their main dishes, loach stew and loach bulgogi, are highly recommended and top-quality. The restaurant is known for its welcoming and friendly atmosphere, with a hip owner and impressive side dishes. It opens at 8 am, but it's recommended to visit in the evening.

Diners love the nutritious, flavorful, and beautifully presented dishes, especially the loach stew and chueotang (mudfish soup), which are perfect for warming up in cold LA. The banchan comes with housemade kimchi, bean sprouts, tofu, and seasoned chives. The loach bulgogi, which tastes a bit like eel, is served with ssam for wrapping in lettuce. The owners are friendly and welcoming, making the place feel like home. Many return yearly for the hearty, healthful meals and excellent service.
