    Bulgogi (Beef)
    Darlene Y.

    Bulgogi (Beef) I came here the other day for lunch, and it was tasty. Drinks are in cans and bottles, $2.20 a drink, food and drink are reasonable. Parking sucks! There is indoor seating, but i got mine to go. More of a take out type of spot. They have homemade kimchi. The food is well seasoned and not over sauced. The veggies and meat were cooked perfectly. The manager or owner was very nice. If you are a.saucy type of person... then I would order extra sauce on the side.

    Cheap and convenient Asian rice bowl spot in West LA! I ordered takeout from here and the experience was decent. I ordered online through their website. However, I wasn't sent a confirmation email which made me anxious since I didn't have a receipt to present to redeem the meal. However, when I visited I just stated my name and I got my order easily. I ordered the Spicy Mayo Chicken rice bowl and it was good. I was surprised since it was actually spicy (most fusion places like this say it's spicy but it turns out to be mild) which I enjoyed. The chicken texture and quality is like the orange chicken you'd get at a Chinese takeout place. It was comforting but nothing special. I wish there was more mayo sauce. It came with mixed greens and pickles which was a nice and fresh contrast to the heavy saucy fried chicken and rice. The white rice was cooked well and was not too mushy or dry. The bowl was pretty filling and was only $12 which is a steal in today's economy. It reminds me of the meals I would purchase in college. They have a parking lot shared with other businesses which could get full, but getting a spot shouldn't be too hard. The interior looked like a standard casual eats place. My food was packaged well and there were no spills. Overall, a decent Asian fusion eats place. I would eat here again if I needed something filling and cheap.

    Great spices/seasoning! I recommend the Spicy Chicken! Great service, fast on time and absolutely healthy and delicious

    Good food friendly service, it was hot and fresh. We had the beef bowl and tofu bowl, or was tasty. Not enough beef though, a little more would be nice. Not too salty.

    So have you ever had the experience of randomly choosing a place and then being pleasantly surprised with how good it turns out to be? I was starving after a long day of work and hesitantly chose this place. I definitely had a few doubts as I was waiting. But then the food came out and I was really blown away with how flavorful it was. I got the Bulgogi bowl and the sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken. Both were awesome and I would definitely order both again. I wish they had a larger size of the sweet and spicy chicken because that was super tasty. Although it looks unassuming hole in the wall in the middle of a shopping center near West Hollywood, the product is definitely higher quality than the surroundings. The ratings of this restaurant are not a fluke. The food is good. Five stars.

    This is my third time ordering from BBQ + Rice through DoorDash, and it has consistently been a solid choice. The bowls are always generously portioned, filling, and never skimped on, definitely a good value for the price. I love adding a little sriracha on top and pairing it with cabbage, which makes the perfect combo. Their homemade kimchi is especially delicious and really elevates the meal. The only thing I'm not a big fan of are the pickles--out of three times, one order was great, but the other two tasted rubbery with an off flavor. I think cabbage would be a better side option to complement the bowls. I made my own and put it on top, it's just what it needs. They should add it for a side dish. Overall, this is one of my go-to spots when I want something flavorful, hearty, and satisfying. Highly recommend the bowls--just not the pickles.

    Awesome spot for a great meal. Everything is freshly made and made to order. The service is awesome. Staff is friendly and helpful when you don't know what you want. My office go to for lunch.

    If you're a fan of Korean BBQ but crave something that's both convenient and delicious, BQQ + Rice is the hidden gem you didn't know you needed in your life. I'm all about bold flavors and comfort food, and their Bulgogi Beef Bowl delivers on both fronts! First off, the bulgogi itself is absolutely chef's kiss--tender, marinated beef with that perfect balance of sweet and savory. You can tell they take their time with the marination, because the flavors just melt into the meat with every bite. The rice? Perfect. Fluffy, sticky, and the perfect base to soak up all those juicy beef drippings. It's not clumpy, and it doesn't get soggy, which I really appreciate. But wait--there's more! The dish is topped with an array of fresh garnishes: crunchy pickled veggies that add just the right amount of tang, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds that elevate the whole thing. The portion size is generous, and I walked away feeling full but not overly stuffed. The atmosphere inside BQQ + Rice is casual and welcoming. It's the kind of place you can swing by for a quick bite.

    Spicy chicken bowls and bulgogi bowls and a side of crispy chicken and kimchee. Everything was delicious!

    This place is delicious! The bowls are nice and big, very filling. Food is delicious! Bowls have the right amount of rice, meat, and vegetables. The service is great, young man at the counter is helpful and polite. The restaurant is very clean with hip music playing in the background. I can say it's my favorite bowl!

    Spicy Mayo Chicken

    The food is always great and reliable here! The meat is always cooked fresh and the sauce is always just right. The pickles also help with any flavor fatigue that could occur. It's a great balanced meal I can eat in my lunch time that doesn't make me drowsy after. The service is fast, kind, and reliable everytime. It's a great comfortable place to stop by or pick up food from! (P.S. music taste is great here)

I tried coming 15 minutes before opening on a Sunday during lunch time and that helped a lot! Would recommend coming during the day if you want to avoid waits. Some of our favorites: -Chicken Kalguksu: I get this every time! The broth is amazing, have never had such a rich, flavorful chicken broth before. You can taste all the herbs, seasonings, and time they took to prepare. The broth is a little on the thicker end, but super filling. -Seafood Kalguksu: the broth is so flavorful and it comes filled to the brim with all types of seafood! The spice actually pairs really well with the seafood too. If you want a spicy stew, this is it! Noodles are thick and chewy too. -Bossam: so yummy! I wish I could get it more often but it's a huge portion, so come with a group so you can try it and the noodles! Everything is quality- the bossam slices, the lettuce, the toppings on the wide. Chefs kiss! My only small gripe is the portions are so big that when I come with one other person, we only have the stomach capacity to eat two dishes! Always excited to come back and try more.

    After having a sauna at Crystal Spa on Sunday evening, September 13th, I had dinner with my mom and…read moremy two brothers at Hang Ah Restaurant (항아리 바지락 칼국수). I think I've been coming here for a very, very long time--probably for about 20 years! I used to come here quite often back then. At some point, though, I stopped coming as much because the parking situation in this shopping center became so busy and chaotic that it was difficult to even get in from the entrance. Also, the last time I came here, maybe two years ago, the valet parking attendant was so rude that I didn't really feel like coming back. This time, since we were already in the area for the spa, we decided to stop by again. Back when I first started coming here, it was just a very small noodle restaurant. One thing they've kept all these years--and what I think is such a great touch--is that they still serve yeolmu kimchi and kkom-bori-bap (barley rice) as a complimentary side. The restaurant became incredibly popular over the years and eventually expanded into the neighboring space, so there are now many more tables than there used to be. Since it had been such a long time since my last visit, I noticed they had quite a few new menu items that weren't available before, including galbi-jjim (braised short ribs), samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup), and galbi noodle soup. One of my brothers and I ordered the perilla oil makguksu each, and it was absolutely delicious! It had such a rich, nutty flavor from the perilla oil, and it was one of those dishes that makes you think about it again later. In the past, I would always order the clam kalguksu whenever I came here, but this time I decided to try something different. My other brother ordered the clam kalguksu, and my mom had the dolsot (Hot stone) bibimbap. I tried a spoonful of my mom's dolsot bibimbap because I really like bibimbap too, and it was delicious as well. In the past, the wait here used to be incredibly long. You had to write your name and phone number by hand at the entrance, and then a staff member would come outside and call your name when your table was ready. This time, the system was different. We were told to simply wait in line, and she would take our orders outside. She said the wait would only be about 5-10 minutes, and she was absolutely right. While we were waiting in line outside, she handed us menus, took our orders, and then seated us at our table. The food came out quickly, the service was very friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious. It turned out to be a very satisfying dinner. After coming back here again after such a long time, I completely understood why this place has been so popular for so many years. It was just as popular back then as it is now, and honestly, I can see why!

    What an experience!! Hehhe…read more We got the Set. We also ordered the galbi short ribs. It was about $50 for the ribs alone!! At first glance, everything looked amazing. Down the line, I realized that the set was basically a bunch of ban chan. Some were interesting because other Korean restaurants don't serve it. We were advised to use it to create our own bibimbap. The perilla porridge stood out most. I never had perilla porridge. The taste was unique. It had chicken inside. The small cup of pumpkin soup was yummy. The soybean soup (fermented soy bean stew) had a very pungent smell. I wanted to enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I couldn't stand the smell and not comfortable with the taste. Wish they gave an option to choose from different stews. The desserts were good. I also like their plum tea/juice. The galbi was well marinated. Not as tender as I was hoping for, but it was still delicious. With the price, I do feel like the set should include a dish of meats. Especially since the restaurant requires 2 people at $34 each for the set. If you go 3 people, prob more worth it. Overall, it was a fun experience. Service was great.

Service is quite slow, as a true mom and pop place. It's quite popular and we happened to get there just before the rush as there was a large group waiting when we left. I'm not sure why it takes quite so long for the boribap jungsik cold dishes since most of it is premade and just needs plating. For a long time all we got was fried kelp crackers, kinda greasy fried shrimp cracker (?) and scorched rice water that was very tough to eat. The sweet pumpkin porridge was better, but I'm not a fan of sweet porridge. The rest of the set was better, fortunately, but most of it was on par with banchan that is complimentary at other restaurants but of course more variety. The savory pancake was very crispy and stayed that way. That was probably my favorite from the set, along with the perilla seed and chicken soup. The texture was quite thick like gravy but I love congee and it had a similar feel but nuttier taste. I would love a bowl of this if I were sick. Since there were 3 of us, we thought a protein would be good so we ordered the pork ribs. They were pretty good. It reminded me of hamji park, although I prefer hamji. It ended up being more food than we could eat so we took some of the ribs home. I'm glad we ordered the set for 2 and then shared a different dish. Overall I'm glad I tried it since I've been curious. The meal was good but I probably would try another option next time.

    tl;dr the delectable pork ribs overshadow the otherwise authentic but standard lineup at this…read morenow-shuttered Korean stalwart Los Angeles Koreatown is home to restaurants that specialize in every facet of Korean cuisine. If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.
