Korean place with good vegan options. Items are labelled vegetarian on the menu, some items need to be modified to be made vegan. Clarify that the banchans are vegan (they have fish cake sometimes). Like greens, bean sprouts, and fried tofu banchan they have. Bathroom was nice and clean.
Love the mushroom tofu soup, really flavorful and they are generous with the mushrooms. Also got the hot stone tofu bibimbap, make sure to ask for no egg to make it vegan. Good option to go to if going with a group of omnis, can also accomodate larger groups as well but would consider making a reservation if the party is 6+.

$40 for nearly flavorless meat - you can get twice the quality for half the price at any other Korean place.

This small Korean restaurant has been one of my go-to spots since 2022, and I can confidently say the owners and staff are consistently kind, courteous, and committed to providing great service. It’s a nice place with a welcoming atmosphere, and while it can get quite busy during peak lunch and dinner hours, arriving around 2pm usually means a quieter experience.
At times, the staff may appear a bit understaffed, but it’s clear they’re doing their absolute best to serve every customer with care and attention. I truly appreciate their effort and hospitality.
The food here is always satisfying. My personal favorite is their special combo of Gal Bi and Dumpling Tofu Soup. The Gal Bi is incredibly tender and flavorful, and the soup is comforting and well-balanced. Plus, the unlimited sides are a great touch—just let the staff know, and they’ll happily bring more.
Whether you're stopping by for lunch or dinner, this place delivers a consistently enjoyable experience. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates authentic Korean cuisine and genuine service.

The way the combo of their banchan (side dishes) and bijijjigae (underrated dish) will cleanse you..! Highly recommend.

Came in for a meal at 8:10 pm. Staff made us feel welcome even though we got there close pretty late for dinner. Tried their wings for appetizer. Chicken was cooked perfectly and extremely juicy. We tried the Bulgogi beef and seafood rice pots. Both tasted excellent.

Small Korean food restaurant. Play comfortable seating but tables are closed when the room is full. The food is delicious. I can't get enough of the ramen broth. Try one of their crispy fried pancakes, you'll be pleased.

Dombe noodles were delicious, the broth was rich but not super oily, pork was very tender. Tables, seats and floors were clean. Service was quick and friendly. They also have kpop videos playing on the tv in the back too which is fun
Parking: Depends on the day but on most weekdays you can probably park at one of the spots right in front of the restaurant.

When I came to the United States and got tired of eating hamburgers and other Western-style food, I had no choice but to eat tofu pot to satisfy my craving for white rice. This Mom's Tofu is very close to the hotel, within walking distance, and there is good parking nearby. Shopping and drinking coffee can be arranged nearby, which is very convenient. After eating the tofu hotpot for two days in a row, I feel that the taste is not much different. In California, the soft tofu hotpot is usually meat + tofu hotpot + small dishes. It is similar to Taiwan, the taste is not too spicy, and the price is higher than the previous day. Food is more expensive in Los Angeles.
