    Grandma tteokbokki with fried seaweed roll
    Verna C.

    I've been wanting to try Halgatteok on 8th St. and never got around to it (not sure if the management of the two locations are affiliated with each other), so when I saw that a new location opened up in the Koreatown Galleria food court (which has free parking in the structure), I finally made the trip. Located on the third floor in the corner closest to the restrooms, it wasn't hard to find. We ordered the grandma tteokbokki with garae tteok level 1 spice, the rose tteokbokki with mil tteok level 1 spice, and sweet potato tempura (3 pieces) and fried seaweed rolls (5 pieces) to help with the spice. You get a buzzer and can sit anywhere in the food court area, which wasn't too crowded when we went for Saturday lunch. Food was ready promptly, and there is a water dispenser on the side, which was much needed. I enjoyed the garae tteokbokki, which was very chewy. Even level 1 spice was still pretty spicy for someone who can't handle too much spice. The rose tteokbokki was less spicy compared to the grandma tteokbokki and was standard compared to tteokbokki from other spots. Overall, the thick garae tteok is worth a try and differentiates itself from other places that sell tteokbokki. It is a bit on the pricier side for street food, but location is very convenient!

    (Wrote my review on the wrong Halgatteok earlier!) Been here few times now and it's pretty consistent as expected from such a popular Korean chain! Famous for their super long rice cakes. Pretty tasty stuff! My friend and I go to the location at the galleria but there is a more formal store front in ktown as well. Hits the spot if you want some rice cakes. We like to add sausage to the grandma's set

    Good, portion was big. Don't like the cheesy toek but really like the rice roll and the fish cake soup. Service was nice. Casual ambiance.

    Hangari is absolutely worth the wait. The restaurant is very lively and crowded with people who…read moreknow this spot is good. What seemed like a deceptively simple bowl was one of the most delicious and flavorful meals I've had - I'll be thinking about my bowl for a long time. I got the plain kalgaksu, mainly because it included pork potstickers. The anchovy broth isn't fishy (which I was concerned about), it's deep and full in a way that's hard to describe. It penetrates the noodles and potatoes well. The broth is similar if not the same between most bowl types. The cold noodles were also delicious, which a couple of my friends ordered. Quite large portions, as just about everyone had to take some home. They also have bibimbap if you're craving a rice based meal instead. I can't wait to come back - maybe not on a Saturday night next time so I don't have to look so long for parking!

I especially wanted to try their bossam but didn't think it was out of the ordinary. With that said, food was still very good. Parking was difficult to find (obviously it's ktown) but they do offer valet. Food comes out very quick. I would recommend coming with a group because portions are large so you can try many things.

    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.

Centered around a large display of Banchan, your table may feel too small to accommodate the dining experience. Best be enjoyed in small groups, the communal experience is incredible. Pricing is fixed, and there is a minimum order requirement of two protein dishes. Everything else will be included to round out the dining experience. The service was beyond agreeable. Especially for new patrons, the staff is understanding and willing to explain the menu. This is a fine dining experience elevated by many traditional Korean flavors. Everyone gets a large bowl of barley rice, and you can build your own bowl with the many kinds of Banchan. Sauces and soups are also served to round the palate. Priced as fine dining, this place feels like a special occasion choice, or if you're seeking more traditional Korean foods. Parking is available in a private lot, which can be quite the godsend in this neighborhood.

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.
