    Toppoki
    Benson K.

    Koreatown is just slightly far for me, given that I live in the San Gabriel Valley and I have to contend with traffic going into the city in the evenings. I am always on the search for Korean restaurants closer to me. I saw this establishment opened recently at the Little Tokyo Market Place, and I knew I had to give it a try. The pictures of the tteokbokki looked quite appetizing, which is what I ended up ordering for lunch. I added kim mari, deep fried seaweed rolls to my tteokbokki. My wife got the Korean ramen with dumplings. It's located in the food court in Little Tokyo Market Place, so it's definitely small. The seats are a bit worn, but still servicable. The person at the counter was very friendly. The tteokbokki was a bit spicy for me but it was quite tasty. I loved the kim mari, which I don't get to eat often. The Korean ramen was solid. The dumplings went well with it. The ramen also came with some kimchi and macaroni salad. Solid lunch spot for Korean food in Little Tokyo for sure.

    Fresh and delicious!! traditional K- food Love to try different menu at Dami K-food I ordered and got food just 7-10 minutes Chef gave to me desert for shrimp tempura (Grand opening free)it was really crispy and fresh Definitely I will go again soon.

    Dami K-food is excellent. I mainly order their bulgogi beef bowl and chicken cho gye bowls. They include plenty of seasoned meat and vegetables, all on top of a large amount of white rice. Reasonably priced, most items on their menu ranges from $13-$15 and they are generous with their portions. I've never had anything from them that was overcooked, too oily, or salty. Food is fresh and prepared in a timely manner. They are friendly, with a Korean woman and man working this place, it's more of a fancy stall than an actual sit-down restaurant. Though there is a dining area for you to sit and eat, they seem to be mostly take-out. In fact, they share the same dining area with their neighbor, Sakura Noodles (which is also excellent). This, along with their neighbor Sakura Noodles, is my go-to place for quick take out that's healthy, reasonably priced, and large portions.

    Dumpling korean ramen

    Super affordable and food always hits the spot! Might take a little longer during lunch hour but the woman who works at the register is always super friendly. Definitely a comfort food spot

    Everything was delicious and well plated. Staff was pleasantly friendly. It is located inside the food market in the shopping center.

    Chicken Janchi

    My coworkers and I go to the market often for Lunch. I had being eyeing this place for a while so finally decided to give it a try and mehh. Food itself tastes good but if I'm paying for chicken I expect some chicken pieces in my meal and there was 0 chicken. Just the white egg cakes pieces in it.

    This was a great stop after doing my grocery run. The food was amazing; super authentic. I asked to take out meat and anything green in the Japchae noodles bc my kids wouldn't eat anything at the sight of the color green . The tempura was soo crispy and light in batter.. perfect balance. I wanted to try dubokkee but was too full after the crazy large portion of the Japchae. Would def come back and try other foods during my next market run. AND free parking!!

    We visit the restaurant once a week. I always order tteokbokki, fried food, and galbitang when I go. The galbitang has a clean broth, and the fried food has clean oil, so it's really good.

    Ddokboki was delicious !

The restaurant was kind of small but it was clean. Everything was so flavorful and delicious! Seafood kalguksu 9/10: it was def filled with various seafoods. The flavor was super bold and a bit spicy but not intolerable. I love the texture of the noodles. Perfectly cooked. Bossam 9/10: also such an amazing dish! Perfect ratio of fat to meat. I do wish that for this large plate they gave us more cabbage. We ended up ordering more for $5 but I think it should be included given the amount of meat. Parking was valet and it's a small lot. I think we paid $5 for parking. I think there's also street parking but we wanted to play it safe and just do valet. Overall it's such nice place to eat with a group of friends.

    Found this place by mistake. We were in the area due to the Mexico/Korea match and were starving…read more We consulted yelp and Google and settled on this place. I really wanted authentic Korean food that was not kbbq and not tofu and this place delivered! This restaurant is in a small strip mall. The strip mall has other Korean food options. They have a valet parking system of sorts but we didn't pay, we self parked. The attendant told us we were fine. It was approx 9pm when we arrived and also a week night. I have no idea how much valet parking is here. We were a small party of two. Upon arrival, we were notified they were out of RICE. Um..what?? That's a good problem (for them to have) but not for consumers. I feel this really limited our options to just soup. I honestly didn't want soup but there wasn't much else we could order. The bowls were large and came out piping hot. It was a satisfying meal and not too heavy. The price point was on the pricey side. Our waiter told us business has not been the same post covid. Some dishes are between $40-$60. I asked for a soup and they were able to make it less spicy. My friend got a soup with dumplings in it. He put a good amount of soy sauce to give the broth some life. Also, the banchan is on point. We asked for a refill and devoured the second portions. If you wanna impress friends with Korean food, bring them here! Its a casual place.

Restaurant was half empty and no Ike which surprised us on a Saturday night. Ordered some bossam and chungukjang and it didn't taste the same as it used to couple years ago. Not sure what the issue was but it lacked flavor. Also they were cleaning the kitchen while serving food which was kinda not sanitary with all the water splashing on the floor of the kitchen while they were making food. Overall it's not what it used to be and cleaning the kitchen while making and serving food is not a good combo.

If you ever had Korean Bibimbop, this is similar but with some minor differences. This one uses a barley rice base (compared to white rice in Bibimbop). The barley rice is topped your choice of about 15 different side dishes of lightly flavored savory mountain roots, greens, mushrooms, and peppers. Comes with a soy bean paste that you use to further season. Just mix everything in a larger bowl and serve. OMG. Absolutely incredible!!!!!!!!!! Before this main course, you do get three small bites (pumpkin porridge, scorched rice/tea, and tempura). Additionally three different sides are also served (acorn jelly salad, Korean escargot/snail dish, steamed cabbage), along with perilla chicken soup, and soy bean soup, the latter which is the most traditional Korean dish. Last for dessert you get red bean porridge, dried persimmon rolls, and plum tea. Nothing like this in all of SoCal. A must come and try for all.

In fact, we regularly brought visitors here. They raved about how good the spare ribs were and even insisted that their last meal before LA should be at Ham Ji Park.  Here's my belated review of what I consider the best spare ribs in LA. From the moment the Korean-style spare ribs arrived at the table, it was clear this was a dish worth savoring. Each rib bore a beautifully charred exterior--deeply caramelized without a hint of bitterness--offering that irresistible smoky aroma the moment it was placed before us. The glaze was nothing short of spectacular. A perfect balance of sweet and spicy, it clung to the meat with a glossy sheen that promised flavor in every bite. There was just enough heat to make your taste buds sit up and pay attention, but it never overwhelmed the deeper, richer notes of the sweet components. But what truly set these ribs apart was the texture. Beneath the charred surface lay meat so tender it practically fell off the bone with the gentlest tug of a fork. Each bite was juicy and succulent, the result of careful cooking and a respect for quality ingredients. Ham Ji Park, you will be missed. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the food.

    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.
