Pork belly
Ahlennah B.

Nice chill environment in here, some night club lighting but not too dark, high ceilings, comfy velvet chairs, video of ppl walking thru Seoul on the walls. It was comfortable and fun! There were a good number of people here at midnight on a Friday. Pork belly plate - the pork belly was delicious! Great flavor, nicely cooked, served on a metal rack so the oil drains nicely. The sauce was great and not very spicy, served with onion, trumpet mushroom, garlic and jalapenos. Would definitely order this again. Corn cheese - great! Served boiling hot! Good flavor and a good amount of cheese. We get these everywhere and this is up there in the top 5! Egg roll - overcooked, frankly. Too dry and not a lot of flavor. It was better with cheese corn heaped on top! Wold skip this next time. Shrimp toasts - holy moly, you might die of a heart attack but you'll go out on a high with a smile on your face! Super deep fried bread, just the perfect amount of crunchy crust with a soft middle and delicious shrimp flavor inside! Top tier comfort food. Top tier drunk food. If your party has these, it's lit. Beef pancake - basically a thin beef frittata. Didn't know what to expect from the picture and the "pancake" descriptor, so it's basically thin cut beef and scrambled egg, fried flat. Better than the egg roll! Enjoyed the green onion mix that goes with it! Also great w corn cheese on it Would be interested in trying the shrimp & chives one sometime! Service was easy, they have call buttons on the tables, and the waiter was great. Very easy ordering and quick service. We will definitely be back to try other things.

Amazing

Amazing service and kimchi pasta. Staff is sweet and attentive. They're nice to me and my dog and give us popcorn. 100000/10

지코바 치킨 (grilled spicy chicken)
Misikga F.

We had a really satisfying meal at Chungdam 828, and while the food did take quite a while to come out, every dish tasted so good that it was definitely worth the wait. Our server, Danielle, was super friendly and provided excellent service. We ordered 쭈대새 (beef intestine), 지코바 치킨 (grilled spicy chicken), 차돌박이 떡볶이 (beef brisket tteokbokki), and 닭똥집 튀김 (fried chicken gizzards), plus extra udon, ramen, and rice to round it all out. Everything paired perfectly with our Sapporo pitcher, and we especially loved that the venue is pet-friendly on Sundays. It was a fantastic bar that we'd highly recommend.

Clam Soup, Butter Grilled Abalone, Saero + yummy fermented Kimchi
winney l.

Stumbled across this spot on Yelp and couldn't have had a better time! Daniel the Manager was very cute and super hospitable. Customer service was A1 for sure. The Clam Soup was on point, lots of clams and the soup was so refreshing with the right amount of kick. The Abalone... let's just say we got a second order, . We were told it was yummy and...it was very yummy. Their Kimchi was also to my liking because it was extra fermented...yum!!

Great food great atmosphere great service great food. One f the best places to eat and drink

Comfy seating for an intimate date night (or decompressing with a friend on a weeknight).
Melissa H.

Chungdam is one of those places I keep in my Ktown rotation when I want music, mood, and an intimate lounge vibe that surpasses most in the area with my partner (don't get me wrong, I l love the graffiti-worn Pocha bars too; this isn't quite the destination for that vibe). I've been here multiple times with my Korean partner since last September, and it's become a reliable fallback when when we want something more upscale but still relaxed. The music leans dark and seductive with K-pop and EDM influences, which aligns with what many regulars mention and is a big reason this spot stands out. When the VIP room is open, usually on weekends, the energy really comes together. The design and atmosphere are a huge part of the draw. Industrial brick, concrete textures, and comfortable lounge seating give it a downtown Korean lounge feel without trying too hard. Halloween week stood out in particular, with decorations that showed real effort and added to the experience. Between the music videos, occasional projectors, and thoughtful layout, it works well for date nights, small groups, or nights where conversation and music share equal importance. Food here is better than expected for a lounge. The Korean rolled omelette is soft, savory, and comforting, and the spicy buldak is rich, glossy, and consistently satisfying. Both would be recommended for first-timers! The menu is approachable for both Korean food fans and first-timers, though I do wish prices were a bit more affordable or that they offered more specials or a rewards program for regulars. Staff is generally friendly and attentive, and small touches like complimentary popcorn and QR codes on the chopsticks add to why I keep coming back.

Complimentary popcorn
Carlo G.

This probably has to be one of my least favorite pochas in Ktown, mainly because of the food quality.   I came in around 8pm on a Friday night. There was valet parking behind the restaurant for $3 (cash only) which wasn't too bad.   Walking-in, I found the décor very quirky and Squid game like. It was unique in a good way I'd say. However, there weren't a lot of patrons during my duration of my visit.   The service was pretty decent and I like how they give you some buttered popcorn to snack on while you wait for your food.   My friend and I ordered the Grilled Pork Belly and Kimchi Bacon Pasta and I ordered a Jeju Highball for myself. The pork belly was very disappointing. I know what microwaved pork belly leftovers looks and tastes like and I'm pretty sure we were served microwaved pork belly that was cooked a previous day. For $33, this felt like a waste of money and I would've just gone to a regular Korean BBQ for some fresh pork belly. While the ssamjang and veggies helped, it could distract from the dry and unfresh pork belly. For the pasta, it was alright. For the quantity and quality, it wasn't worth almost $30 for. As for the highball, it wasn't very great. It just tasted bitter with hints of fruity flavor.   Overall, I was disappointed with the food here and would probably not come back.

Great food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. The dishes were flavorful and came out quickly. Staff were attentive and made us feel welcome. I also enjoyed the clean and modern interior. Definitely a place I would visit again!

I had a great night at Chungdam! The vibe is fun, a bit retro and stylish -- perfect for grabbing drinks and hanging out with friends in Koreatown. The menu has a nice mix of bar bites and Korean-influenced dishes that pair really well with soju and beer. I especially enjoyed the Korean egg roll. It was very fluffy and it went well with Judaese soup with is a spicy octopus, beef tripe and shrimp soup -- both were tasty and shareable. The service was friendly and welcoming too. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in K-Town!

This place is amazing. The staffs are very nice. here the food the vibe and everything else is fantastic. I've had some chickens, small intestines and others. I was really satisfied with them. I would definitely come again this place.

Fun entrance vibes
Philip L.

Very good service. Very good place to come and have drinks. Catch up with a friend, very authentic Korean food and vibes. I personally recommend the spicy chicken wings. Hit the spot with a nice cool beer. Definitely coming back again

Spicy pork and tofu, spicy chicken
Ariana N.

Great service! Spicy pork and tofu was good! Spicy chicken was good! The whole fried chicken was so good to eat alongside beer! Fries were truffle flavored and very addictive! Would come again

I am not a nightclub person (just for reference, this past weekend, when I visited Terra Cotta, was…read morejust my 2nd time at a club), despite that, my time here was fantastic. Let's start with the obvious one: the line outside. The bouncer was this very courteous, professional and well-dressed African American man. He thoroughly checked my ID, and very politely let me in without a fuss. Many times people complain about security in a place (especially nightclub) and give the place bad reviews. That just means the bouncer/security person was just doing their job and this individual didn't like it! Upon entering, you're greeted by two other security guys that will pat you for guns. I am absolutely 100% behind this practice, as it gives everyone peace of mind knowing you're just vibing with a bunch of unarmed fellows (as it should be!). The inside has a bar to the left that runs all the way across the end of the venue, and a dance floor to the right with a nice setup. The DJs were great, the music was fantastic, and the people were fenomenal. Every member of the audience/patron/customer here, whether young or old, male or female, was friendly and a blast to party with. I either got lucky and went in a particularly good day, in which people just happened to be fun to talk to, and friendly, or maybe this place is always like that. Who knows? I had a blast nonetheless. The entrance is free, but there's a catch: water at the bar is 5 dollars (for a water bottle, obviously) and it makes sense. They still need to make money. I don't drink at all, so I just got a water bottle and danced the night away. I only had to use the restrooms once, and there was a short, quick and efficient line to use it. That was also due to the great clientele that frequents this place, just nice vibes overall, even in being quick, and efficient when using the facilities, and getting out of the restrooms quick so that others could use it. By 1:45am, things had to start winding down, and the DJ let us know about it. By the time the lights came on at 2am (pics posted) everyone quickly and in the most organized fashion started exiting through the other side of the venue: the back exit of the establishment. People still linger outside if you want to talk more and some even go to the Dennys nearby. My overall experience at this discotheque was nothing short of sensational. 10/10.

This review was stuck in drafts! Came here with a few friends for dinner and drinks. The space is…read moredefinitely stylish--great lighting, sleek decor, and a cool vibe overall. It feels like a place that's trying to be trendy and upscale, and to be fair, it mostly succeeds in that. Food: The food was okay, but not super memorable. We ordered a few small plates and shared a couple entrees--everything was presented nicely, but the flavors were just kind of average. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. For the price point, I was expecting more. Service: Service was friendly but a bit inconsistent. We had to flag someone down a few times for water refills and waited longer than expected between courses. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely noticeable. Overall: Terra Cotta isn't bad, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. It's a good spot if you care more about ambiance and a night-out vibe than mind-blowing food. I'd come back for drinks, but probably not rushing to return for dinner.

You get an incredible variety of banchan with so many different flavors, textures, and seasonal vegetables. It's basically a fiber-packed feast with a huge selection of side dishes, and it comes with barley rice, making it a delicious and surprisingly wholesome meal. For around $35 per person, the amount of food and variety you get is a great value. Not only do you get a beautiful barley rice feast with an incredible spread of banchan, but the set menu feels like a full dining experience. You'll go through multiple courses, from a comforting pumpkin soup to the crispiest kimchi pancake, and even a sweet persimmon dessert to finish. Every dish brings a different flavor, texture, and seasonal element to the table. What really makes this place special is how authentic the experience feels. The staff is traditionally Korean and incredibly welcoming, and every detail of the restaurant, from the placemats to the earthenware dishes, reflects Korean culture and hospitality. It feels like stepping into a true home-style Korean dining experience rather than just another restaurant. If you have a diverse palate and love exploring different cultures through food, this place is a must-visit. The flavors are comforting, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. The only downside is parking can be a bit of a hassle, so plan on using valet. But the experience is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend coming here if you want to experience authentic Korean cooking, incredible banchan, and a meal that feels both nourishing and memorable.

The star of the show is easily the banchan. The table just kept filling up with an endless, colorful variety of high-quality, flavorful sides to mix into the barley rice.
