It's just like eating in Seoul!
I love this place! I used to live nearby and i stumbled in right at opening time my first day. they have a wait if you're going at popular times. Small strip mall parking.
wow, i became a loyal fan of the cheonggukjang, which i never had before. The owner is kind, and it feels like we're being taken care of like I'm at their home.
i am not korean, and especially at that early time 10 years ago I was often the only non-korean... but when they saw me eating cheonggukjang...read full review

This was our first time in Koreatown, and we found this restaurant based on Gemini's recommendation. The food here was absolutely delicious!😋

The Olympic Restaurant is a popular spot known for its delicious Korean cuisine in LA. Many customers praise its tasty soybean paste stew, which is considered better than at other Korean restaurants. The side dishes are also appreciated for their flavor and presentation. The friendly servers create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. Parking is convenient with plenty of commercial options nearby.
The restaurant is especially well-known for its cheonggukjang, which many say is the best they have ever tasted. It brings a cozy feeling, like home-cooked food from the motherland. Customers also enjoy the spicy octopus dish, even those who don’t usually like spicy food, and the fried fish, which is highly recommended. The sautéed squid is another favorite that keeps visitors coming back. Many have been going for years and find the experience consistently great. Some wish there were more menu options like bulgogi or pork belly for children, but overall, the dishes are highly praised.
