We had seafood pancake, pork belly wrap with garlic sauce, and the short rib soup. The seafood pancake is fresh and crispy and perfectly matches with soy sauce. Pork belly wrap is well marinated and flavorful while the garlic sauce gives additional taste, and cabbage brings freshness. Although the short rib soup has six big short ribs that makes the hot pot look absolutely amazing, the overall taste is okay. Highly recommended the Pork Belly Wrap with Garlic sauce and special thanks to the owner for her kindness and helpfulness even during a busy lunch hour. Will come back to try more other dishes~

I came here on a rainy Saturday night needing something to warm my belly and I did not leave disappointed. The restaurant we wasn't too busy on Saturday but that's good for me since I hate waiting outside for anything longer than 20 mins for food. Got the neck bone OG gamja-tang and it came with plenty of meat on the bones, rice and some classic side dishes. The soup itself was tasty and just spicy enough. The meat was tender and fulfilling. Service was solid and everything was chill. Plus they had the dodgers on which is a good sign in my book. No frills or thrills here, just a good meal at a solid spot in a plaza I rarely frequent. However I'll be back to try their bossam or their cold noodle dishes when the weather warms up.

The foods were simply good at its best. I don't like the soup much, but just maybe because I don't usually eat Korean foods so I didn't get used to its taste. Despite that they properly have one of the best seafood pancake I ever had. The lady who served us also really hospitality. Will occasionally coming back here to enjoy their cuisine.

I tried their BOSSAM and Seafood Pancakes. Both were delicious!! The side food was so good too. Especially the kimchi. I feel like their foods are very tasty and fresh. I want to come back soon again. The service was okay, there was only one person handling the hall. And we had to wait a little. Not saying it was bad but it could be better if there was another person helping.

I don’t remember how many times I ordered from this restaurant, but I’m sure the meal this time was as delicious as every times, and there were 4 free side dishes every time

Food was really good but location is really noisy. The place is really frequently native Korean speakers so that does speak volume how good it is to Koreans. Not sure if its the time I went or not, but it took a while to actually get service and another set of time to actually get the side dishes.

We have gone here a couple of times for their bossam which is on top of our list amongst the other bossam places within 10 miles around the area but we recently tried their marinated crab and I'll tell you now, it is top notch!! I would actually say it is the best we have had so far compared to the famous ones around the LA area. The only difference is you have to call in advance to order their marinated crab, usually 2 weeks, I believe, after the beginning of the month, making it extra special. This is a family owned business that says a lot about the place how each food they serve is from the heart. Give it a try. You'll probably come back over and over like us. Oh, and their side dishes are to die for!
