    This place is the best goat restaurant!! Servers are super kind and foods are so good!!

    This is by far the best black goat soup I've had in LA. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful without any of the strong gaminess that can sometimes come with goat dishes. Even if you're usually sensitive to the smell, you can enjoy it comfortably here. The meat was incredibly tender and fresh, and every bite felt satisfying. The seasoning was perfectly balanced -- not overly salty or heavy -- so I was able to enjoy the entire bowl without feeling overwhelmed. It truly felt nourishing and comforting.The interior is also very clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. It's a great spot for family gatherings or even a nice, cozy meal. Overall, everything from the food quality to the ambiance was excellent. I will definitely be coming back.

    OMG... two thumbs up for Goat stew! Make sure to pre-order Steamed Black Goat Meat Platter (Sooyook) before you dine in.. (min. 4 hours to cook). Food & service : Very good Just little hard to find parking though.

    A hidden gem in Los Angeles ! My GM in taekwondo takes me to authentic and traditional restaurants and this tops them all ...the goat meat is soft not gamey and soup is so delicious !Portions are enough and ambience is conducive to enjoying your meal. Although the menu is in Korean they speak goods english to interpret What they offer. Service is fast and the owner's son is in the mix to serve you! A must to visit in LA!

    When you enter a Korean restaurant and 70% of the customers are old Korean ladies, you know you found a gem. Gatekeeping comes to mind, but this family run establishment should get their flowers. They've been around since 2002. They've been doing goat since Kobe the GOAT and Shaq were doing three-peats. Thanks to David, #bestoflafood for posting his video review. The three course meal is the way to go. We called ahead of time to make reservations. Owner aka, "Superstar" thanked us and recommended making a reservation in case they run out. They only cook two whole goats each day. One ready at 12 pm and another at 6 pm. For the three course meal, you can choose from the goat ribs ($80), front leg ($100) or the hind leg ($120). Then you add the hot pot and fried rice ($40). The three course meal with the goat ribs were perfect for 3 people. Flavors were simple yet complex. It's not as gamey as one would think. The salt and pepper dry dip and the fermented paste with hot mustard added some flavor bombs. The hot pot broth tasted clean and resets your palette. It made you dive in for more ribs and banchan. Back and forth, It was a roller coaster of flavors. The banchan was perfect. They provided two types of kimchi. One was an oyster base and another fermented for 30 days. The 30 days had this pungent pop of flavor. The other two were spicy cucumber and bean sprouts. Just the right amount of banchan to let the goat be the GOAT. Just when you thought the ride was over, you get one last hoorah. "Superstar" takes what's left of the hot pot and makes a crispy kimchi fried rice. At first bite you get this deep savory mouthful and it makes you go for more kimchi. The fermented one elevated the rice even higher. Make sure you scrape the pot and get every bit of crispy rice goodness. What a way to end this GOAT experience.

    The menu - everything looked so good but I decided to start with the goat stew

    Loved the goat stew!! It was delicious, there was lots of tender goat meat, green onions and veggies - yum!!! The service was great and the owner was very friendly and kind. Will definitely be coming back to get the goat hotpot next time!

    This was the best meal I've had in months. The quality of the meat was excellent, the flavor of the stew was on point and the service and love from the staff put everything over the top. It is rare for a restaurant to exceed my expectations in every category but this place did it all. I'll be back and can't wait to share this place with more of my friends.

    Goat stew for 2
    Kevin S.

    My wife and I love goat. We also love Korean food. So, thanks to the Yelp algorithm, Goat Restaurant targeted me. And I'm happy that it did. Goat is in the place's name, so we had to get the goat stew for 2, which was the right call. The stew was fresh, spiceful, savory, bold, and hearty. And it was plentiful! We were treated to heaping amounts of goat and veggies in the stew, as well as unlimited sides. The banchan sides had prominent and notable fermentation but in a very welcoming, healthy, and delicious way. Our guts felt great after our meal. Special shoutout to our guy, Jin. I believe he's the owner--exceptional service. Jin was so warm, inviting, friendly, and eager to please. He's the best. I highly recommend Goat Restaurant to anyone who loves Korean food, goat, or is looking to try something new!

    My gf drove by a few weeks ago and asked if I had tried them out before. I have not and Goat stew has been on my mind since, so today was the day to swing by. They have parking in the back and they're located right on the corner. Very clean and open seating. Not a lot of seating but just enough. Service here is very very friendly and fast. The goat stew was so clean and flavorful it had made me fulfilled with happiness. Would go out of my way to come back and try all the other variations of goat along with the gop Chang dish!

    I have been to this restaurant multiple times, and the owner remembers us and really appreciates repeat customers. You can tell he loves what he does and his hospitality is unmatched! I hope he never loses his energy and enthusiasm. He really is a great person and a great business owner. On top of his amazing service, the food is incredible. Small menu, but everything is executed perfectly. The goat is fresh, tender, and clean tasting. The tripe dish was so perfectly crispy. The stew is so flavorful and the broth is amazing. Everything complements each other so well. It gets busy around lunch time but service is still fast. You literally see the owner running around and managing everything. I'm so happy this is in my neighborhood. You guys must try this place out! You will be amazed!!!

    Ambiance: it's a hidden gem in the area, spacious and high ceiling inside, parking in the tear Service: super friendly and attentive, refilled water and served food fast Food: very simple menu and specialized in goat soup Banchan - *** limited kinds, but the kimchi was really good Goat Stew - ***** Goat meat, Garlic, Chive, Perilla leaf, Roasted wild sesame seed, juicy meat and flavorful broth, highly recommend Spicy Beef Stew - **** Beef brisket, eggs, green onion, mushroom, and bean sprout, rich in taste, recommend Price: decent portions and reasonable prices, about $25 per person for a fulfilling meal

    I've clearly been sleeping on this place. Finally went with some friends visiting from out of town,…read moreand Hangari Kalguksu did not disappoint -- I see why it's a Ktown staple. The space itself is cute, trendy, and modern, but according to my Korean friends, the food stays true to tradition -- which is exactly what you want from a place like this. There was a line when we got there, but it moved quickly -- and they came around to take our order while we were still waiting, so food came out fast once we sat down. I've had bossam before and always got cold, sliced meat -- not my thing. Here, it comes out hot, and the pork jowl was incredible. I genuinely could not stop eating it, so tender with that perfect grilled edge. They also start you off with a little bowl of barley rice (bori bap) as part of the banchan -- first time trying it and it was such a nice, unexpected touch. We also shared the chicken sujebi and it was pure comfort in a bowl. The hand-torn noodles were perfectly chewy and the broth was seasoned just right -- not too salty, just deeply savory. Heads up on parking: it's tough. I got lucky with street parking but it's only 1-hour limit, so keep an eye on the clock. The lot is valet only and looked chaotic when we pulled up, so budget extra time (and maybe cash) if you go that route. Honestly one of my favorite meals I've had in Koreatown, and a great spot to bring visitors -- my friends loved it too. Already planning my next visit to work through the rest of the menu. Highly recommend, especially if you love Korean comfort food done right.

The service is attentive, even when busy. We arrived shortly after they opened at 10 AM, and by 11:30 AM, there was a line outside. This place truly delivers! We ordered two popular dishes, including the Chicken Kalguksu (knife-cut noodles with chicken, squash, kabocha, potato, and dates in chicken and anchovy broth) and the Hangari Bossam (medium, boiled and tender pork belly with cabbage leaves and kimchi). The Chicken Kalguksu was a highlight with its thick, chewy noodles and creamy broth. The squash was a delicious addition - comforting and warm, a must-order! The Hangari Bossam (medium) was perfect for sharing, and the tender pork belly was amazing with the cabbage and kimchi. I especially enjoyed it with the jalapeños; it's the best of both worlds, melting in your mouth! We left feeling full and happy, already looking forward to our next visit. This is a must-try in Ktown!

Danbi is located in Los Angeles's Koreatown and specializes in modern Korean cuisine. For Dine LA, they offered a $45 tasting menu. We started with their signature honey butter chips. I used to not understand what all the hoopla was about these chips! But today, they were really good... and I think it's the honey butter sauce. The first time I ever had these chips, in 2024, there was no sauce on them. I just thought they were regular chips. And I probably never would have gotten them again if they weren't on a prix fixe menu. These chips were divine! Thinly sliced potatoes fried in house and topped with a decadent honey butter sauce and fresh chives. The sauce really made this appetizer. Thick and creamy, almost like condensed milk. And the touch of freshness from the chives really brought everything together. Although simple, I felt like this dish was very well crafted. Next, we had the corn cheese rolls - sweet corn and mozzarella cheese wrapped in an eggroll-like pastry and served with a sweet, tangy gochujang sauce on the side. These came piping hot and were so fun to eat. The cheese was so stretchy and the sauce really elevated this dish, cutting through that rich cheese and adding a savory, almost smoky element. Then our drinks arrived. I got the hwachae milk punch with milk clarified soju, strawberry, lychee, and lime. This drink was sweet and fruity and tasted just like one of those lychee jellies you would buy at the Asian grocery store. My friends had the kimchi mule, house white kimchi infused soju with ginger and pear - essentially a Moscow mule with fermented notes and a savory umami from the kimchi. Nice and refreshing. Then we had a watermelon kimchi salad. This wasn't my favorite. Compared to everything else we had tonight, this was a bit boring. It was light and refreshing, but I wanted more fermented flavor. But it was still good, and the Hami melon was nice and crisp. You can never really go wrong with watermelon. Then we had the spicy sashimi noodles with sea bream, soba, dropwort, and perilla. This dish was interesting, summery, and cool. Cold soba with a spicy kick. Flavor wise, the ssamjang and perilla stood out to me. And the soba and sashimi added some nice textural contrast. Our last savory course was their grilled pork jowl topped with their house chili crisp and served with a side of garlic rice along with some ssamjang and peppers. The pork jowl was, of course, delicious. The cut is naturally bouncy due to being jam packed with collagen. The grill imparted a nice, smoky charcoal flavor to the meat, which was also infused with that delicious chili oil. Their garlic rice is so good! It's packed with garlic flavor and perfectly fluffy. For dessert, we had a goguma parfait - sweet potato custard with a strawberry and blueberry compote. This dessert was.. interesting. The texture was smooth and creamy, but you could definitely tell that there was a sweet potato in there. I think this dessert could use a little more textural contrast. I definitely would have appreciated a cake layer in the parfait or a more prominent crunchy element rather than just the two pieces of tuile garnish on top. That being said, it was still good. Danbi is one of my favorite restaurants in LA if not my number one favorite. Their menu feels modern, interesting, and creative, innovating on traditional Korean classics while remaining authentic and delicious. I especially liked their Dine LA menu for this season as it felt very fun and summery. I can't wait to come back and see what else they have to offer!

The food is mostly plant-based and pretty mildly seasoned, so keep that in mind if you prefer stronger flavors.

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.

    my $20 lunch special turned into like 4 meals. GREAT value…read more i was craving korean home-style cooking and found this place. it's got affordable lunch specials under $20. i was really surprised at just how much food i received for just $20... giant plate of sizzinging. perfectly seasoned pork ribs & onions with a really nice char. a big cup of rice, a really great banchan spread with lots of variety, and a massive bowl of broth with such a great mild flavor to balance the spicy banchan and rich pork. it was phenomenal, cured my tummy ache, and immediately took me back to my trip to korea many years ago. i inhaled everything but there was so much food i ended up with a big takeout bag. i kid you not this one $20 meal has turned into like 4 meals for me. pork turned into lettuce wraps, rice fried and mixed with eggs , broth used to elevate a cheap ramen. i WILL be back. i wish i could have bought some of the banchan as an extra charge or something so i could take it home with me because im STILL dreaming of it. the inside has good a/c and a cute homely atmosphere. and the staff was incredibly kind and helped me choose what to eat and helped me pack up the broth once i was done eating. you can see the giant goblet of boiling broth in the kitchen as you eat. easy parking behind the restaurant and in the street.

    Suuper bummed about our experience today. We ordered the cold noodle & LA galbi combo as we always…read moredo, and a leek pancake as we weren't as hungry and the combo usually fills us up. Even when we ordered the food, the server said "that's it?" as if she was offended that we didn't order more food (lower sales?) I'm not sure if we misunderstood her attitude but that's kind of how it felt like. The quality and size went down and it was just... not good. This used to be my #1 spot for cold noodles but our other fav place was closed today so we decided to come here. As you can see, the size of the cold noodles became smaller. Everything was packed in this small bowl which made it harder to eat. I think they changed the noodles they use because it wasn't doing anything texture wise. It used to be chewy and had a good buckwheat flavor. The broth tasted.. like water with a splash of bone broth. The quality of galbi was also a disappointing as I feel like it's became less and the meat was burnt with more fat/chewy bits. The leek pancake was ok but again, comparing it to my picture from January, it was bigger in size and more dough-y. Service was decent previously but it felt a bit cold today. Again, super bummed because we still love this place but I probably won't be ordering their combo again. You can see in my pictures how often we used to order the cold noodles from here and you can compare the quality.
