It was the most delicious cheonggukjang I've ever tasted. What's a bit disappointing is that I wish there was a menu that younger children would like. For example, if there is something like bulgogi or pork belly, I think I will visit that place more.

Hands down, the best Korean food I have had in LA Korea town!! It's a shame I came here on my last day! If I had known this restaurant earlier, I would have come here for every meal, every day! Love, love love it! AMAZING food for AWESOME price, AUTHENTIC ? Please make sure there is no one here who hasn’t tried Cheonggukjang! It's really delicious ?

When eating Korean food in LA, definitely come here instead of anywhere else. I regret coming here for the last time after tasting the “real” food after eating salty, sweet, and tasteless fake Korean food at other famous places in Koreatown. The workers are friendly and the food is ready, even the side dishes. It was as delicious as it was and I hope it stays for a long time without disappearing. If you want to taste real Korean food in Korea, I definitely recommend coming ???

It was so delicious that I visited twice when I went to LA :) It was a godsend that I came here instead of going to soft tofu in Bukchang-dong. The atmosphere of the restaurant is clean and not flashy. I miss Korea, but it was a meal that made me feel warm and comforted. The lady was really kind (she was so kind to serving other seniors at the table as well as us), and the barley tea she served was really nice, and although the side dishes were small, they were all delicious...and the rice was so delicious! Even I, who can't eat a whole bowl of rice, emptied a bowl hahaha. The soybean paste stew, cheonggukjang, and soft tofu are all delicious! It’s easy to relax after eating! I guess that’s why a lot of seniors come here^^ Next time I go to LA, I’ll be the first to go! Please don’t change and stay for a long time :)

Google says “Well being tiop #22 Natto, a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans, may have been discovered by accident during the Yayoi period (300 BC-AD 300). One theory is that natto originated from the spontaneous fermentation of spilled soybeans from the straw that was used to cover the floor of houses at that time. Another theory is that natto was accidentally discovered in 7th century Japan when Prince Shotoku (574-622 AD) accidentally discovered natto from cooked soybeans wrapped in rice straw”. This is misinformation, Japanese took Korean’s Cheonggukjang which has 1000 years of history , and marketed as health food globally. Chongkukjang ‘s benefit is Antidiabetic, Anti-inflammatory, Neuroprotective, Antiviral, and Probiotic.

Small restaurant with very friendly place and great home made like foods. I think there are NO alcoholic beverages served.
It comes out delicious, just like your mother made it at home. The side dishes are also delicious when prepared neatly.
Parking: There is ample commercial parking.

I found “Olympic Cheonggukjang” while looking for a Korean restaurant that opens early in the morning at 8:30. During the week I stayed in LA, I tried a different menu item every morning; Soybean paste stew, cheonggukjang, seolleongtang, rice cake dumpling soup, etc. were all delicious. It was so much better than the Korean restaurant in Vancouver that I almost cried. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to eat hearty Korean food in the morning. Next time I go to LA again, I definitely plan to eat breakfast at Olympic Cheonggukjang.

Fantastic restaurant! They are known, as the name in Korean suggests, for their cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew). Absolutely delicious. The staff working here take care of every detail in the service as well as the food. Price is also good. This is definitely one of the gems of ktown - homey, authentic, and delicious. Ample parking, but the restaurant itself is on the smaller side. There can be a small wait if coming at a popular time.

All Ktown food is too salty, spicy, sweet, and spicy, but this place really feels like eating mom’s home-cooked food! The side dishes are good, and the Cheonggukjang served with warm barley tea and white rice is the best! There are people lining up to order at lunchtime, but it's a delicious restaurant that's worth the wait every time.
