DONT COME HERE! Food poisoning and stomach flu from eating here! Spent two nights in the ER because of this place! The hospital even confirmed from my blood tests that it’s due to food contamination! Do not recommend….

Do not eat here unless you want to get FOOD POISONING and an owner who does not care about what they are feeding their customers.

I got FOOD POISONING after eating here.
I ordered the beef kimbap around 1 PM on 12/20, and it was my first and only meal of the day.
By 6 PM, I began feeling extremely nauseous and started throwing up repeatedly—every 15-30 minutes—until 3 AM. I vomited over 15 times, and by 2 AM, I was throwing up only water and stomach acid. My body was completely shaking, and I could barely stand. Finally, at 3:30 AM, I went to the ER for treatment. The doctors confirmed it was a virus caused by contaminated food or poor handling practices. Since this was the only food I ate all day, it was clear this meal was the cause. I have all the ER reports to back this up.
When I called the shop to report the issue, they were dismissive and nearly hung up on me. Their response? “OKAY BYEEE” before offering to investigate or provide any kind of solution. Only after I mentioned reporting them did they give me an email for their insurance. Their lack of care and accountability was shocking.
This experience made me seriously question their food handling practices. Do they have a process for food poisoning complaints because this happens often? It certainly felt that way.
Be careful eating here—your health might depend on it.

Best Korean food in town. During my visit to LA I visited this place multiple times. Food tasted very authentic. Highly recommend!

A wide variety of kimbap, but the parking is weird. They wanted us to pay to valet when we were just picking something up. I refused and it was okay, but it took some arguing. Prices are reasonable, but the tuna kimbap is like tuna sandwich Kimbap and I wouldn't order it again. There is no seating here, only to go orders.
