I’ve heard about this place before and all the lore that came with it being one of K-towns gems. I had to come and try it out for myself, what I can say is that truly and honestly it’s one of my favorite spots to eat at. You don’t come here for the frills or the fancy seating you come here to eat good home cooked food. I ordered the combo mudfish and soup meal and boy was I in for a treat the fish was perfectly cooked and all the banchan was perfectly prepared. The Kimchi brewed in house daily and the soup to perfection.
I will for sure be coming back soon!

I had my first chueotang in Korea about 25 years ago with my wife, who was my girlfriend at the time. The flavors here are incredibly authentic, and I can’t believe they are able to recreate dishes like this in the U.S. It truly brought back wonderful memories for me. Thank you so much!

We live close by and tried it out during a Friday night. The place was quite for a nice peaceful dinner. Our server was really nice and tentative We didn't have to cook the meal. The staff did it for us. We got big filling dishes, it's a nice place to eat in a group

We stumbled upon a charming, family-owned Korean traditional shop that offered a limited but authentic selection of dishes. We opted for their combo and thoroughly enjoyed the flavors. One tip we'd like to share is that the whole fish in the soup would be better deboned or at least a warning when ordering, especially for first-time visitors. Despite this, we highly recommend the shop and can't wait to return!

WOW! First time having loach soup and it was absolutely phenomenal. I was craving something soupy and comforting with perfect flavor and this was it. Wonderful, sweet service. Can’t wait to come back :-)

One of the best soups I’ve had in LA! Rich, clean broth with no fishy taste, perfectly seasoned, and so comforting. Will definitely come back!
My best friend and I stumbled upon this place randomly bc all other restaurants on the plaza were closed. BEST DECISION EVER OMG. The bbq fish is so flavorful and nicely crisp. The soup is not overly fishy but nonetheless it is a fish soup. Please please please stop by and support this family owned place. Worth every penny. 🙌🙏💅

Best Loach Soup in Ktown! I couldn't put the soup down! Their kimchi and banchans were also so good!

Actually, I’ve had a bad experience in the past at a restaurant in Koreatown, so I was really hesitant and nervous before stepping into this one. But despite being alone, all my anxiety melted away thanks to the incredibly kind owner.
The Combo #3 that the owner recommended was a perfect match for my taste. She even kindly explained how to eat the Chueo Bulgogi (mudfish bulgogi), and when I followed her instructions, it turned out to be absolutely delicious.
When they heard that an elderly and unwell person had come to eat, they looked genuinely concerned. I could really feel their heartfelt respect and care for their customers.
They even paid attention to whether other customers were having any issues with parking, showing a genuine sense of care. I truly wish this restaurant great success.
I was so touched by both the flavor and the kindness that I ended up ordering three servings of Chueotang and two servings of Chueo Bulgogi to go.
Today has truly been a happy day.

It’s a hidden special place you would never know served a perfect hardy soup and grilled fish with great presentation. Very surprised and quite happy with the meal. Family or personal delight. 👌🫠🙌

This a beautiful hole-in-the wall Korean restaurant. Randomly stumbled upon this place as we were grabbing drinks nearby. Goopojib’s specialty is a mudfish soup and bbq fish. If you’re looking for a homemade fresh meal packed with nutrients and flavor, you must try this place! Owner was so kind and the kimchi is amazing. 💚
