    Blueberry Lemon Mint Smash w/ soju
    Bryan H.

    Found this spot when I was searching for a place to eat after seeing a show at the Pantages, and we couldn't have picked a better one! Very unassuming when you first park, but gets into a nice backyard area outside. All outdoors, which adds to the ambience! We came pretty early on a Sunday afternoon, so it was very light, but don't tell that to the kitchen! All the food was so fresh and delicious! The chili garlic chicken was hot and juicy, and my wife's stir fry was out of this world, perfectly cooked and seasoned! Top it all off with some onomiyaki fries, and we couldn't have asked for a better early dinner! We'll definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu!

    All neighbors must hate Anju. It's just sharing a wall with the plaza's parking lot but there are big signs posting "No Anju House parking" and the security guard was diligently patrolling every car to make sure Anju's guests don't park there. On the other hand, there's valet parking for Anju customers by the restaurant, charging cash $6 or card payment of $7. Or if you dare or are lucky, street parking is not impossible. We arrived on a Saturday night at 7pm and the wait was light. Within 15 minutes we were seated. While waiting, there's a comfy lounge with big TV for guests to lounge. Led inside, we passed a photo booth machine, and with an outdoor beer garden ambiance, we were led to our seats. It's totally outdoor, no interior seating. They have a heat lamp for the night. There are big screens, great for the FIFA watching season. The lady's restroom is well decorated. You scan the code on the table to read the menu, under dim light. I LOVE THE MENU!! So many choices! From fusion such as kimchi and bacon pasta to traditional dishes such as seafood pancake and ramen, from grilled items like butter grilled squid to soup items like fish cake stew, they have it all! The Korean alcoholic drinks include soju, flavored soju, 4-5 kinds of Korean beer, and the Makgeolli rice wine. The prices are reasonable for the portions; most big items are 20 or slightly higher. We ordered Creamy Kimchi Bacon Pasta, Butter Grilled Squid, Korean Omelet and Bulgogi Dukboki. They all tasted delicious and the portions are an overkill. For three of us, we barely finished half. Service was like the Korean style, they appear to take orders, deliver food, and disappear. They did give us a new bottle of water. But they disappear until you call them for the check. The waiter was pleasant when picking up payment and engaged in a small talk. This is definitely a place for large crowds. By about 8:30pm, the wait lounge was filled. So I think the later it goes, the more crowd they get.

    the inside felt so homey and the outside was pretty, great for summer. the menu is very extensive and perfect for sharing/big groups. there was a lot of street parking but they also have valet. the food was great, the combo was a generous portion, came with galbi, fries, corn cheese, green onion salad and a bottle of soju

    Fishcake stew
    April V.

    came for a late night snack and it definitely hit the spot. Loved how the outdoor seating was set up. It was a bit cold but there was a heater shared between some tables. we got the bulgogi bulgogi fries and combo c (fish cake stew and rose dukboki) which came with a bottle of soju. Our favorite out of the 3 items was the rose dukboki, it was very flavorful and the spice was just right. I think doing one of the combos will be your best option if you are dining with a group. Plus you can always add more if someone wants something more specific. Will have to come back and try their other menu items.

    What an absolute spectacular space, soon as you walk in and go to the back it opens up in tuning impressive venue, full of fresh air, glistening ambience, and Soju bottles in every corner. Kyle and Edwin the team were absolutely awesome. As soon as we arrive, we weren't sure what to get. He recommended the pasta dishes that they're all family size and shareable. We all have full and happy. Thanks guys. We will definitely be back!!

    Kimchi and Pork Belly, Kimchi Bacon Pasta, Rose Dukboki, Seafood and Veggies Savory Pancake
    Areeta W.

    Make sure to Yelp waitlist or make a reservation early on! Our group waited around 30 minutes to get seated after a festival nearby and it was definitely packed inside. We ordered Kimchi and Pork Belly (2/5 not sure how the kimchi was better than the pork belly but they overcooked the meat and it was hard to chew w/ no flavor), Kimchi Bacon Pasta (4/5 the best thing that we got but was that b/c we were super hungry), Rose Dukboki with cheese (3/5 unfortunately it was not very Rose-flavored or spicy and the cheese wasn't melted), and Seafood and Veggies Savory Pancake (3/5 not much seafood). Overall, not sure if they were having a bad day or what but their menu is so big that I would want to try other things.

    They say that Anju House serves serves Korean bar food with beer, soju, and cocktails, but it is so much more. They have some of the best Korean food and I swear some of it reminds me of Italian food. You can get small bites, order a bunch of stuff and share or order a full meal. It is all great. There is nothing not to like and you will be happy. The service is great. They are kind and will explain the menu to you. They get your order right and are all smiles. Now, it can get very crowded at night and I don't know if they take reservations so call and find out. We have been several times and have done take away a few times when it is crowded. Either way, you will get great service and be happy. The place is super clean and really pretty. It is very comfortable. They have a full bar and Anju refers to food that is consumed with alcohol, but we have never had a drink there. It is a tad pricey, but the food is worth it always. We love their calamari and their noodles and any shrimp dish is the best. They have things I had never tried before. Just ask the server and you will be guided.

    Kimchi Bacon Fries
    Justin B.

    Anju House is a Korean fusion casual dining restaurant. They are open late most days of the week, it is busy during typical dining hours & less so 10pm to close. I've visited this business a few times and will be a continuing patron. The food was delicious, of note I've tried all of the Dukboki variants and although all of them were tasty and reflective of their names - the Rose Dukboki takes the cake for me. Korean fried chicken was crispy without being overly oily, it held a great balance of crunchy texture while expressing its Korean spice blend. Kimchi Bacon Pasta is definitely their top hits - recommended if you enjoy a creamy pasta base. This is a great option to dine in for those late-night cravings! Of note: there is valet parking which is $5 (at the time of writing this review) - they accept cash or digital payment. Otherwise street parking is your route (keep in mind that Koreatown is not known for readily available street parking).

    Asado plate
    Vicky L.

    Anju House is charming. Walking in feels like a treasure hunt, there's so much to look at. Our table was decorated with rapper memorabilia, which was a fun touch. Since the seating is semi-outdoors, they even brought out a mini fan to keep flies away, which is very thoughtful of them. The service was prompt. The food, though, was hit or miss. We ordered the Asado combo (salad, cheese corn, fries) for about $100. The meat was tender and well-marinated, but not as juicy as expected. The dipping sauce tasted like a worchestire heavy katsu sauce. The gopchang was the weakest dish, some pieces were overly salty, others bland, and the portion felt small for the price. Clam chowder was just okay, nothing memorable. Overall, the pricing doesn't match the food quality. but the vibe alone makes it worth checking out.

    Amy L.

    The vibes here are 10/10 and so is the food. The crowd favorite was the kimchi bacon pasta. The pork belly and kimchi isn't as good as normal bossam but it does the job. The menu is so extensive i definitely need to come back to try more items. If you have a large group I would highly recommend coming here !

    Kimchi Bacon Pasta
    Michelle N.

    I wish I found this place sooner, but it's definitely going to be a staple in my LA dinners! The selection here is amazing and the food makes it even better. My big group shared a few dishes, but the ones that stood out were Kimchi and Pork Belly, Kimchi Bacon Pasta, Rose Tteokboki and Bulgogi Fries. I swear our table ordered multiple rounds of the same dishes! The pork belly was seasoned well with the sauces and the pasta was so creamy. If you're looking for a comfort pocha vibes, this is the spot for you and your friends. There's also a cute photobooth in the corner!

    Two Letter Word: Seafood + Risotto Ever since watching Gordon Ramsay yelling at his new peons for making sure to get the risotto right on Hell's Kitchen a decade or two ago, I've made it my mission to order risotto if it's ever offered at any restaurant. Anju House was no different. Ordered this dish as a late add on, and clearly this was the winner amongst their bulgogi bibimpap, crispy garlic gopchang, and pork belly kimchi. Now I did enjoy the pork belly though, that's one dish you can't really screw up. But overall that was my takeaway from this restaurant...get the risotto. It's good. Strawberry Yakult Soju? Great drink starter, but we stayed with one pitcher, after all the beers at the Dodger Mets Game. Ambiance at to the Anju House is hipsterish. A blend of a Pubhouse with a Korean Pocha. Great concept. I thought at first I walked into Cafe Concierto from Christmas past. Last thoughts, definitely a good food & Soju house spot nestled in a subtle alleyway on Oxford in Korea Town. Great find!

    Ok went there because it was open late and looking at pictures from Yelp, it looked good. It's more of a hang out for young folks. I think the dishes were over priced from the portion it gives. Taste was just ok. Not that impressive. They have a Photo Booth where you can pay $10 for 2 strips of pictures.

Person at the front checked us in and walked us to our table. It was my first time using the Blackbird app and the server (didn't get her name) was super nice and walked me on how to use it (thank you!). We got the fish baos and the unagi "rice ball" to start with. Both great, the bao was really good, the sauce was great, the cilantro gave it the perfect touch. I thought the fish could have been a bit more flavorful but still great. The unagi rice ball was great, just really hard to eat without it falling apart. As for the ramen, we got my favorite, the smoked dashi ramen, and their classic tonkotsu. They also had their OG tonkotsu ramen on a special menu, which is similar to the classic but the main difference being the type of pork meat that they use (pork belly). The smoked dashi ramen was as good as I remembered it, but the classic tonkotstu ramen was tasting a bit better surprisingly. I wish the smoked dashi ramen had the option to choose between clams and pork. For dessert I was really excited to try their banana pudding and also got their matcha kaki-gori (shaved ice). Although the banana pudding was not bad, it was the kaki-gori that blew my mind. The tonchin honey cream sauce was absolutely delicious. The overall texture of the kaki-gori was perfect, not chunky at all. And best of all, this was free thanks to the Blackbird app promotion! (Shameless plug to use my referral code bb-4r9xyi to get you $20). If I had the choice, I'd go with the kaki-gori instead of the pudding if you're only going to have one dessert. I can never go wrong with Tonchin. My absolute favorite ramen spot. Vibes are great, music not too loud, great date spot. I will be back again soon!

Now the pizza... it was not a margherita pizza, it's just cheese pizza, like you can find anywhere else. The three of us were pretty disappointed so I would recommend getting a different pizza or trying their pasta dishes. Most folks around us seemed to be having pasta dishes. The tiramisu was delicious and a nice way to end dinner. We were very full but was able to make room for it. The service was well, very friendly. My dad asked for a white wine that went with the main course and the server gave a good recommendation. I judge an Italian restaurant by their margherita and it was by far the most disappointing so I'm not sure I'll be back, but if pizza is not your thing, don't let that stop you from giving this place a chance!

The pot is cooked right on your table through a portable propane stove, and it took around 10 minutes to get ready. The broth was quite savory and vampire repelling kind of garlicky. There were so many goodies inside the pot, it felt like a treasure hunt. Slices of short ribs, cheek meat, and knee were super tender. The tripe and intestines were thoroughly cleaned and deliciously chewy. Fresh sliced mushrooms and tons of green onions. Just a warning: their banchan dishes, even though delicious, are a fire-breathing kind of spicy. For people with a regular chili tolerance like ours, we stopped at level 1. The price was moderate but acceptable for the location and food quality. Highly recommended.
