Food is really unique, I'm not too sure regarding authentic taste (hence the uniqueness) but definitely coming back for the Bossam. went on a week day and wasn't sure if it was understaffed but service seems slightly slow within the amounts of customer was present. Again as aforementioned, will do come back for the Bossam!
It’s been a while since I visited Koreatown. Living out in the suburbs now, coming back to the heart of the city really brought back old memories. Today was my first time visiting this restaurant since it opened. Some acquaintances of mine had already been here twice this month and loved it so much that they invited my family out for a meal together this time.

Olle Korean Cuisine is a hidden gem located inside a hotel on Oxford in Koreatown. The restaurant serves authentic Korean dishes and homemade banchan with fresh ingredients. The interior is clean, neat, and spacious, with tables spread apart so it does not feel claustrophobic. Small private rooms are available, perfect for a group of around 10 people to gather, chat, and enjoy some privacy.
The food is unique and aims for authentic Korean style. While it fell slightly short of the deep, rich flavors found in Korea, it is good enough and satisfying for Southern California standards. The smoked duck was insane, and the bossam was one of the most unique, kind of sweet and tangy. The seafood pancake was solid. The chef special pork dish was so tender it melted in your mouth. The Soy Marinated Crab (Ganjang-gejang) is on the menu, and the steamed cypress wood platters, smoked duck, and bulgogi hot pot are specialties. The banchan were more interesting than at other Korean spots.
The staff were super friendly, welcoming, and attentive. One server took well care of guests, making sure the meal was to their liking and packing togo nicely. The owner even threw in some complimentary spicy marinated crab at the end. Service can be slightly slow or terrible at times, but the food makes up for it. A little pricey with $35+ entrees. Free parking may be available for guests who dine inside the hotel.
