This place was fantastic! It was me and some friend's first time in LA Koreatown, and they made my day! The place itself is very clean with a cozy atmosphere, and when you order they come out with generous appetizers of kimchi, fish cake, seaweed salad etc that are all very good. They come out with food very fast and it is delicious, and Jay was super kind.
The sundubu was delicious, the service was excellent, and overall it was a wonderful experience.
We came here in Labor day, which happened to be an insanely hot day (weather). The restaurant was pretty full, but a couple tables were leaving so we didn’t have to wait too long.
We ordered a galbi combo, a beef intestine soon tofu, and a seafood pancake. The food was really good, we really enjoyed it. The staff was also nice even though it was pretty busy.
The overall ambiance is also modern and very clean.

The place offers Korean comfort food with a clean and organized environment. Service is attentive, simple and efficient, and refills are provided without ask. The soondubu broth is rich and flavorful with deep depth, and the kimchi is fresh and tasty. Panchan is fresh and the table is full of banchan and steaming tofu soup. Kalbi is grilled nicely with just the right amount of char, tender and well‑seasoned. Pork soon tofu stew is bubbling and rich, and the galbi + pork soon tofu combo is smoky, juicy and satisfying. Deep fried yellow croaker is perfectly crispy outside with tender, flaky fish. Japchae is chewy glass noodles tossed with vegetables in a lightly sweet sauce. Seafood pancake has crispy edges, packed with seafood and perfect for sharing. Pork cutlet is big, crispy and made with good quality meat. Bulgogi is tender, flavorful and served sizzling hot. Spicy clam over rice is an acquired taste, not for everyone, while bulgogi can be sweet and may need more savory for some. The food is pretty good, portions are great, and the spot is a great place to return next time in the area.
