Simply Delicious. I was impressed by their bossam (thin and evenly cut) with their garlic sauce was amazing. Loved their level 1 (lowest) spice jokbal with the masago rice balls was just a perfect combo. Shared noodles with the family. It was good but their rice balls were just better combo for me with the pork. Also, loved their side dishes of the spicy fish cake, kimchi and especially their potato stir fry. Enjoyed the bean sprout soup, which is perfect to balance out the spiciness. read more

Came here specifically for the garlic bossom and it did not dissapoint 1. Large garlic bossam: for the price and quality you can't beat this. I think the garlic on top is a pear garlic puree. This was a major hit at the table. I also enjoyed the radish kimchi that went with it 2. Gamjang short rib hot pot: this was just ok. LOTS of bone and not a lot of soup / meat. Big pro is there is a parking lot that was pretty empty when we went at 6pm on a weekday. Service was fast because we were the only ones there but they had a lot of togo orders the whole time. Would come back for the bossam! read more

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. The quality of service exceeded my expectations, and you can really tell they care about their customers. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and inviting, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. Everything was handled professionally and efficiently, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family. If you're looking for great service and a positive experience, this is the place to go! read more

Food is solid. They do not cut corners. Old school country Korean food. Leave your non-pork friends at home. read more

We ordered the medium pork belly bossam and it was a good fill for a party of 2. The meal also provided two complimentary light and spicy soups with bean sprouts! The restaurant provides an abundance of banchans and service was friendly, although they did have a rather small (but free) parking lot. I've been to other locations who've offered plating of pork belly on a steamer, however this location did not. I didn't realize it would be a game changer as our pork belly here had some fat coagulated on the plate and around the meat once it cooled down. Not a big deal, but was noted in comparison to other restaurants that offer jokbal and bossam. Overall, it was a nice restaurant to try! read more

Chung Chun Jokbal - 18. 보쌈 / Bossam (Pork Belly -- Medium) - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My friends live in Koreatown and love this place - they loved the pajeon. I prefer a different style of pajeon but they are such big fans. I really loved the banchan - so good, even other Korean restaurants I've had. I also liked the bossam. We tried their jokbal since my friends hadn't tried it and it's in their name. It was solid but we agreed we like Chinese cooking of pork trotter better. The cold noodles were also good. read more

First time here specifically for Bool Jokbal. Service was fast and nice. The restaurant was clean and modern. However, the spicy pork trotter was a bit too sweet for me. I've had a better one that's spicy and not overly sweet. Hopefully, I will get a chance to try other dishes. read more

We came here for dinner on Tuesday night, it was easy to make a reservation on Yelp but weekday nights didn't seem too busy. It was super easy to park in the parking lot as well which is a plus for ktown. We got the jokbal and bossam combo. Loved the banchan it came with, the bean sprout soup was appetizing. The jokbal was perfectly seasoned and super tender. The bossam was delicious as well. The portion was huge, we had about half as leftovers. Overall it was so good, I definitely want to come back again and try the spicy jokbal! read more

I decided to try this restaurant because I live nearby and always pass it. They have a free parking lot which is rare nowadays in Koreatown. Ordered the jokbal and bossam combo and the portion is huge and had plenty of leftover to take home. The meat is very tender and well marinated. It's very refreshing wrapping it with the radish and lettuce. The dipping sauce was delicious. Highly recommend if you're a fan of pork! read more

Chung Chun Jokbal - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This fairly new restaurant in K-town specializes in Korean-style pork trotter and belly (jokbal and bossam). When we visited, it seemed a bit understaffed, so service was a little slow--but hopefully, that'll improve with time. What truly matters is the food, and it did not disappoint! The jokbal was tender, savory, and had a great chewiness. The medium size was ideal for 2 people, or 3 if you add an extra side dish. The janban magkusu was also solid, with a nice balance of sweet and sour flavors, and it came in a generous portion. It paired really well with the jokbal. It is in a fairly small plaza, but parking was not an issue for us! read more

Have you ever tried bossam? It's a Korean boiled pork belly that you usually make lettuce/cabbage wraps with. To be honest, I don't really eat that much meat lol but I think this garlic bossam from Chungchun was amazing! My whole family enjoyed the food so much, we ate so fast! The assorted savory pancakes came with various veggies, fishcakes, and sausages fried with egg--creating the pancake mouthfeel. Everything I tried here was new to me but so good! Highly recommend this spot for late night Korean food! read more

We had an amazing meal at Chung Chun Jokbal! Everything was incredibly delicious and exceeded our expectations. The side dishes were plentiful, fresh, and a perfect complement to the meal. We ordered the bossam, which came with all the classic accompaniments; fresh garlic, pickled radish, ssamjang, and spicy radish, all ready to be wrapped up in crisp cabbage leaves. Every bite was packed with flavor. We also tried the kimchi pancake, and it was fantastic, crispy and flavorful on the outside, spicy, crunchy, yet perfectly moist on the inside. The ambiance was very hole-in-the-wall and straightforward, which we loved;no frills, just good food. Service was normal, nothing over the top, but efficient and got the job done. Three of us shared everything, and we still had plenty of food left over. Generous portions, great quality and I would definitely come back here again. 9/10 read more

Perfectly tender pork belly with all the best possible sides. The medium is plenty of food for two people. We ordered the Pork Soup as well to be safe, and although it was good the savory depth of the Bossam overshadowed it pretty quickly. The service was super quick and all encompassing with a clean straightforward interior. read more

I am very disappointed with the hygiene standards. My cup had a visible lipstick mark on it. I requested a clean replacement, but the staff returned the same cup instead of providing a new one. This is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about cleanliness and sanitation. read more

WOW! The Bossam here is phenomenal We got the medium which was perfect for 2. They had a plethora of banchan (spicy bean sprout soup included) that were delicious too. We got the spicy chive pancake and also big yuuuum. They have beer & soju of course but also my favorite, hot barley tea. It was pretty busy with only one server but she was super attentive and kind! 100 stars if possible read more

Went back recently and definitely noticed a change in quality of the food/service. Not attentive at all. I had to go up ask for a receipt and get my own to go boxes. Quality around ktown is degrading and its quite depressing to see when i enjoyed this area for 5+ years. Servers are on phone and not paying attention to anything that happens on floors and dishes arent being cleaned up. Sad reality now. Im gonna find someplace else for jokbal/bossam. read more

That spicy Jokbal caught us off guard in the beginning but for some reason when the meat cooled off, it was less spicy! We got spicy level 2! The meat was so soft and right off the bone. They even had a bunch of fatty pieces for those who love chewy meats. The kimchi pancake with cheese was very good too, tasted almost like a cheese pizza in my opinion. Thank you to the employees for the amazing service! The ambiance was casual! read more

Chung Chun Jokbal - Combo spicy jokbal & garlic boss man - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

food: 3/5 service: 1/5 I was craving spicy jokbal so I went to try dining in this time instead of delivery. Cold buckwheat noodles + spicy jokbal both were way too salty.. Garlic bossam was okay. I'm not sure if the owner changed or the chef changed but seemed something was off about the service. kitchen staff and the female server seemed like they were arguing about something and she only seemed to care about kicking all of the customers out by getting the checks out than getting the togo boxes I had to ask for 3 TIMES while she comes and goes to check up on the receipt. This restaurant was becoming one my new favorite restaurants, but after last visit I wouldn't want to go back EVER AGAIN!! read more

Ordered via Doordash close to their closing hour. The bul-jotbal was good, typical jotbal you would get in Koreatown. The jangban guksoo was too dry and tasted like pre-packaged food. The potato ban-chan smelled a bit weird, and I realized that it tasted a bit sour. I think it's been cooked for long time. Overall, I would go other jotbal places for this price. read more

Food was really really good. I think its actually better than jangchoondong, which has always been long time king of jokbal in koreatown. We tried the original jokbal and the fire jokbal, both good but the original was better for my taste. Meat was super tender and delicious, the vegetables and doenjang sauce complimented the jokbal perfectly. The meat quality is superb.. I highly recommend. read more

I stumbled upon this place during their soft opening while looking for something open late night. What a gem!!! It's a small restaurant with kind workers. The food was reasonably priced and their lunch specials look like a steal! We had the Jokbal and Bool Jokbal combo and it was sooooo delicious. Tender, flavorful, and spicy! You must try. They gave us a few things to try on the house, including the Dae Ji soup and Potato Pancake. Everything was very yummy. 10/10 meal, would definitely recommend! read more

Really solid meal all around. Everything we ordered was well-made and flavorful, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. Nothing disappointed. It's an easy spot to recommend, and I'd happily go back anytime. Very good read more

I used to love this place for its decent taste and generous portions, so I'd get takeout regularly. I ordered my usual combo last night, but it felt like the portion was slashed by 30-40%. Even if the taste is still good, it's not worth the same price for so much less food. I'll give it one more shot later just in case it was a mistake by a new cook, but if this is intentional, I'm not going back. read more

Came here to grab dinner on Saturday night and there were a lot of seats available. We ordered the Bossam + Bool Jokbal combo. It was a good portion for 4 people. The service here was good. The waiter would stop by now and then to ask if we needed anything. Would come again! read more

My wife was craving jokbal (pig trotters) for her birthday so we searched and found this spot. We went with a group of four and ordered the jokbal bossam soondae combo and the gamja tang; everything was delicious. The jokbal was fresh, warm, and perfectly chewy. Usually, jokbal is served cold and you know it isn't super fresh when the meat is hard, but here the jokbal was as soft as the bossam. But what made the experience was the service. The people working here were so attentive and went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. We will definitely be going back. read more

Well, I came to this place with my friend when they just opened their business. We were impressed that the bossam meat was so tender, juicy, and it just melted in my mouth. We were glad that we finally have a good bossam place. What I really don't like about Korean restaurants in Ktown is that they dont have consistency in quality and taste of the food except the places where they maintain their business for decades. Chung Chun Jokbal is no different. I picked up my bossam today, excited to try it again, even ordered extra kimchi. I got home, opened my food, even by looking at it, i could already tell the meat is not like before. It looked tough and yes it was. The meat was rubbery, no flavor, no savory fat at all. So disappointed. Ruined my day. read more

Easy parking when get there around 5pm. Good service. The food has way too much sodium. Ask them to go easy on the seasoning.

The Combo Jokbal (includes bones) + Bossam was noticeably smaller than the regular Jokbal plate, despite being more expensive. When we asked, the staff said the combo would include more, but that wasn't the case. The food itself was great, but based on the portion sizes, it might be better value to order the full Jokbal plate, which we saw was much larger on neighboring tables. One odd thing is that they're not open for lunch, yet they have a "lunch special" menu. The restaurant was also clearly understaffed, which impacted the service. Despite these issues, I'll likely return to try just the Jokbal plate. This combo plate cost about $65 before tax and tip. read more

Great service, the pork trotters are truly just like home in Korea. Even their pork neck bone soup. I avoided the blood sausage and the bossam due to a mediocre experience last time I went there.
