Ironically every food was great except the special bossam for which they are famous. Kimchi pancake was the best for me.

This is a place that specializes in a Korean dish called "bossam." Of course, they also offer various other Korean dishes like stews and pancakes. Bossam is boiled pork sliced and wrapped in kimchi or lettuce to eat. In simple terms, it's like making tacos with boiled pork in Korean style. Overall, the food quality is good, but it's advisable not to have high expectations for the service from the staff. And the indoor ventilation isn't very good, so it feels stuffy. If you're looking for a meal that includes meat and stew among Korean dishes, this place is suitable.Parking: This place offers valet parking service.

Old fashioned Korean food restaurantIt’s over 40years-olds! You can have original,old fashioned recipes here :) you can have unlimited small dishes.you can choose two types of the rice (which were white rice or black rice)
Being a solo diner on a business trip has its disadvantages in this place, where the house specialties are for sharing with one other person or more. My loss.But gripped with FOMO I did order their special seafood pancake which could have fed 4 people, but even though I ate 3/4 of it, with the aid of a soy sauce dip that came with the Banchan, by itself it did not set off fireworks.The highlight was the Makkeoli, my favorite fermented rice drink, ordered the small version which sadly I could not finish.Service was good but as usual solo diners everywhere are ignored after the food is served. But whenever I needed anything they came thru.The place is busy on a weekday which is to their credit.Groups of friends all around did seem to have a great time.

okay this place was legitimate but way too Korean for me and not very tasty either. I had the seafood pancake along with a spicy noodle dish. henna we also had a mung bean paste, it was way too spicy and they didn't offer any extra noodles when I asked and said it was impossible which doesn't make any sense... like add some noodles man, and The mung bean made the whole place. stank

#Best bossam and delicious Korean food in LAAmong Korean foods in LA, one of the foods that is hard to find is pig's feet and bossam. Gobau House here is the place that conquered LA Korean food with just bossam. It is a long-running restaurant that has been around for over 30 years where you can enjoy not only bossam but also a variety of delicious menu items such as seafood and green onion pancakes, kimchi pancakes, tray buckwheat noodles, cheonggukjang, and soybean paste stew.I've been a regular here since I first settled in LA in 2007, and it still has a great reputation.#atmosphereAlthough it has a slightly dark atmosphere, it is always full of customers and there are many servers to handle the large number of customers, making it a lively and noisy place. Looking at the customers, many of them come for family meals and many come for gatherings. This is a place where you can feel the quality of the food and its abundance.#side dishThe side dishes here are really delicious. When you're in the United States, the importance of side dishes and how much you crave them are amplified... but when you come here, that thirst is quenched. The slightly spicy soybean paste was especially delicious, and both the kimchi and seasoned vegetables were satisfactory.#BossamFirst of all, the visuals of bossam are rich.Assorted Bossam comes with boiled pork, jokpyeonchae, and steamed skate, but the portion is so huge that I have never been able to order one yet.Instead, in the case of regular bossam, pickled cabbage, pickled cabbage, pickled pickled radish, salted shrimp, seasoned dried radish, and pickled jalapenos are provided along with the bossam.The pride of this restaurant is pork that is gently boiled without any odor. The lightness of pork was well preserved without the use of herbal medicine. Here, my favorite conditioner is <Jeot Shrimp>. Instead of salted shrimp with a lot of water, it is a good idea to remove the water from the shrimp and add seasoning to the shrimp, which captures both the flavor and texture of the shrimp. Pickled jalapenos are a godsend, perhaps a last resort solution that takes advantage of American characteristics. Jalapenos provide a sweet and spicy flavor that goes well with bossam.#cheonggukjangCheonggukjang is especially difficult to cook at home in the U.S., but I always order Cheonggukjang when I come here. It used to be really delicious, but after returning from living in Korea, the soybean paste-like and sweet taste felt a little awkward. But it still tastes good. You can enjoy Cheonggukjang in a variety of options as they provide a spoonful of vegetables to mix with the rice.#ribPlease grill Korean-style ribs, not LA ribs.The seasoning is just right, the grilling is good, and the ribs are above average.Of course, it is much more delicious than BXX soft tofu.#Kimchi pancakeIt's not sophisticated, but it tastes like it was baked at home. It's a shame that it's a little oily, but the taste of jangtteok with red pepper paste and the freshness of kimchi are in perfect harmony.Overall, it is the best Korean restaurant that is not inferior to Korean food, but it feels even more upgraded with American characteristics.When you miss Korean food, you won’t regret going to Gobau House!!Super highly recommended!
