It's reopened and great. Order the pork bone stew and pork ribs. Both taste awesome. Will definitely come back.

Very quick service! We were seated quickly, and ordered and our food came out fast and warm!

Best pork ribs I've ever had!!! Probably better than southern style ribs. Even the cut of meat made it easy to eat! The char was on point!!! The stewed pork was delicious!! It was fall off the bone and broth was more savory than spicy. We had a lot left over and I'll probably add some noodles to this tomorrow lol. read more

Finally was able to stop by since reopening and under new ownership? Super skeptical and nervous but all together excited too? If you know you know!! Definitely something similar or more familiar feel but absolutely different quality of juicy tenderness pork and for sure a different flavor or taste but dare I say it ....But maybe better? I'll definitely have to try once more but for sure a welcomed return!!! Highly recommend everyone to go check it out? read more

Was surprised to hear it back so quickly under new management after its closure a few months ago. It's a place my friend and I really enjoyed coming to so it's great someone picked up the torch to keep it open. We came on Memorial Day evening at around 6PM, wasn't too packed, we got a table after a short wait not because of a full restaurant but because staff needed a bit of time to set up. Place seemed a little understaffed with slightly long waits, forgetting our drink order and not mixing the fried rice. Interior of the restaurant is almost identical down to the enclosed outside seating. Menu seemed larger with new dishes but maintained the essentials. We ordered the pork ribs, kimchi fried rice and pork rib soup and the flavors seemed similar enough as before to me. Parking still in the back with valet, street parking in front of the restaurant and in the neighborhood surrounding the building. read more

Ham Ji Park - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Sandeomi Ham Ji Park is the new hamjipark but not going to lie, it aint the same. I came at least 3x since they came under new ownership and every single time, service was unattentive & alright. The most recent time that I stopped by was on a thursday right after they opened at 5pm and apparently they're already out of spicy flavor and the salt flavor? How? Either way, food is still good read more

I've been coming to Ham Ji Park since college (so 10 years). I was around for its peak when it expanded to Buena Park and Rowland Heights and for when it scaled back down to its 2 LA locations. I was so sad when it closed down and cautiously optimistic when it re-opened. Yes the new owners are part of that Ktown conglomerate of upscale Korean restaurants (both beloved and not), but they promised Ham Ji Park would feel the same. Did they deliver on that promise? Well...the AI posters and menu certainly hurt the vibe the place had, but for the food: Gamjatang - I embarrassingly never had the original so I can't compare it. But it was very flavorful and good. Lots of tables still ordered it and my friend who loves Gamjatang said it was a solid rendition of it. Kimchi fried rice - not as good unfortunately mainly because they dumped at our table. They used to mix it for you as soon as it got to your table, but here they left it and didn't tell us to mix it. I told my friends we should mix it immediately, but one of my friends thought we should wait because maybe the waiter wanted the rice to get crisper before mixing it. In the end my friends caved and mixed it and it was more burnt than crispy. Would've appreciated the instruction because in the 10+ years I've been going to Ham Ji Park, they always mixed it in front of you. Pork ribs - thankfully this was the same! And is 100% the reason I'll keep coming back to even this new Ham Ji Park. So if this was your favorite, you'll be pleased that it's the same, delicious marinade. Overall, I'd come back, but maybe I'll give it some more time to grow into itself? They have a lot of to-go orders so we didn't have to wait for a seat, but we had to wait for food and the staff seemed really overwhelmed by that. I am still sad a little bit of the soul of this place is gone and it's like any corporate spot in ktown, but I'm glad that I can at least have my favorite ribs! read more

Ham Ji Park - Kimchi fried rice and pork spare ribs - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really popular spot in K-Town known for its BBQ pork ribs. You will definitely be waiting for a seat here. Parking is hell around parts, but fortunately there's valet parking in a structure just around the corner. Inside is spacious, communal and clean, with each table having their own typical grilling stations. Ordered the following: - Beef belly - 7.5/10: pretty good. Thinly sliced. Although they do give you various banchan, I really wish they had offered some sort of dip for the beef, like a ponzu sauce or salt. - BBQ pork ribs - 7.5/10: This is what everyone orders. Large cuts of ribs that are cooked in the kitchen and sauced up pretty well. Most pieces were on the bone. The ones that weren't were a tad bit dry, unfortunately. Pretty good spot for Korean BBQ. My only complaint is that they didn't have any kimchee. At all. I thought that was a bit unusual. Another little gripe is their server neglected our cooking station. I know in most BBQ spots, the servers cook your food for you, but ours never came back after dumping the meat off. We had to flag him down to turn the stove off because our meat was burning. Other than that, a good time was had by all. read more

I was a huge fan of the old Hamjipark - I literally went dozens of times over the years, and it was my top 5 favorite place in Koreatown. When they said they were closing, I ate at the Pico location twice before they "closed." So I was super excited to hear they were reopening under new owners but with the same (but modified) menu. I came on a Saturday night, and it wasn't too busy. Looks like they remodeled the inside to look more upscale, but it's still the same overall vibe of the old place. I was with two buddies, and we ordered what Hamjipark was always known for -- the pork neck stew (gamjatang) and the pork ribs. The Gamjatang ---- I've tried every gamjatang place in LA, and the old Hamjipark was my favorite by far. When the big bowl of soup and pork neck came, I was pumped because it looked the same. HOW DISAPPOINTED WAS I WHEN I TRIED THE SOUP AND IT DID NOT TASTE THE SAME. It lacks the depth of flavor of the old recipe. It's like drinking Diet Coke after you've been drinking Coke for many years. The meat on the pork bones was still good, but the broth was really disappointing. We brought this up with the server, and he admitted a few other former patrons had agreed. The pork ribs --- these were much better and tasted about the same as the old recipe. The onions underneath were a bit undercooked for my liking, but the marinade and cook on the ribs was spot on. Until they change the broth in their soup, I'd rather order two portions of the ribs instead of the disappointing gamjatang. They did add a few new menu items, which I may come back to try. However, I will forever mourn the death of the classic Hamjipark gamjatang. read more

I was sad when Ham Ji Park closed, so I had to come back and try the new Sandeomi Ham Ji Park. I believe it's under new ownership, but they kept some of the items like the grilled pork ribs and the spicy pork bone stew. Those 2 are my favorite dishes, and it didn't disappoint. The meats were tender, and flavor was good! I also tried the pork ribs kimchi stew. The ribs were tender and fall apart! If you're not a big kimchi fan, you might not like this dish because the tangy kimchi flavor was strong. Our server was friendly and helpful. Parking is either street or a paid garage ($5 with validation). read more

Sandeomi Hamjibak is back, and it still lives up to its reputation in K-Town. The pork ribs are definitely the highlight--perfectly charred with that classic sweet and smoky flavor. The kimchi pork stew was absolutely amazing, and the kimchi itself was so good that my kids finished a whole bowl of rice in no time. We went with the kids, so we didn't try the spicy chili paste flavor this time, but I'd definitely want to try it next visit. Since they recently reopened, a few menu items weren't available yet (like the kimchi stone pot rice and kimchi cheese stone pot rice), which was a bit disappointing--but understandable. A lot of people really missed this place, and I'm just grateful it's back. It's easy to see why it was loved for years, and it still holds up even under new ownership. Great spot for a family-style Korean BBQ meal. 3407 W 6th St, Los Angeles read more

I was completely full when I came here so I didn't eat much. I told my friend about this place and how it reopened under new ownership. My goal? See if they kept the recipe identical to when it was opened previously by the grandma who cooked here for decades. The verdict: YES. The recipe and formula was conserved and all is good in the world. This place has the best Korean pork ribs you can find in LA. The pork neck soup is absolutely phenomenal as well. I've come here since I was 16 when my mom introduced me to this place and came back for years. I love this place. The service is as attentive as it used to be. The food is as amazing as it always was, top tier. And the portion sizes are the same too. Everything essential about this place was preserved, but they did add a few new items. The only downside? In the past, if you wanted more broth, they would pour it out for you without a worry in the world. You could even ask for more broth like 2 minutes before you planned to leave and pack up to go boxes like no tomorrow. That's how much the staff loved their customers... But not anymore... I guess that's what happens when someone has to spend a fortune to buy a formula and a name from someone else to keep the legacy... No more service to the peoples... but it's ok. The ambiance is cool. They bring out your food most the time but the grills are still in the tables if you order something to cook table side. A few patio seats but mostly indoors. 100 percent worth coming here. read more

I loved the overall experience and reminded me of my childhood! Surprisingly my favorite was stir fried intestines (I don't even like intestines!). Went on Friday night early 5:45pm with large party, because they don't take reservations. We didn't have to wait, which was plus. * BBQ pork rib - 7/10 marinade was great, but little on the dry side * Stir fried intestines - 9/10 great flavor, veggies cooked to perfection- I want to try squid next time * Pork bone potato soup - 6/10 I'll probably skip this, had much better ones before read more

I've been coming to Homji Park for over 10 years, and it remains my favorite Korean barbecue restaurant in LA by far. Now that I live in San Diego, I look forward to coming to this restaurant because every visit feels like coming home. For the past ten years, I've had the same order and it never disappoints: the kimchi stone pot rice and the gochujang original pork barbecue ribs. The food is always delicious, and the service is consistently warm, attentive, and welcoming. Ham Ji Park has been a special place for me for years, and I can't recommend it enough. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! read more

Ham Ji Park - Original BBQ Pork Ribs - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Used to go to Ham Ji Park in Buena Park. It was one of my favorite places to go for Korean ribs. Sadly, it closed. Went to the Los Angeles location, which I believe was the original restaurant. It was good but not as good as Buena Park. Went again just the other day and found out there was a name change-guess that means change in ownership? They still have ribs and although I like the taste, it was not the same. The ribs were a bit tough and boneless pieces dry. read more

So glad this place is back in business! Ktown local favorite! I've been coming here with friends and family! So tasty!

The best ribs in town!! Delicious all around! We dry from West Covina to have their delicious ribs!

Found a giant moth in my salad half way through the bowl. I immediately asked to speK with manager. Before the manager came over, employee took my plate to show the manager. I was close enough to see and hear the interaction. The manager appeared to gesture wither her hand a d said something to the effort of "It probably flew in while it was flying around." What shocked me was not just finding an insect in my food, but how casually the situation seemed to be treated. No one appeared concerned about the fact that I had eaten a significant portion of the salad before discovering the moth. I had to ask for the manager a second time before she finly came to my table. When she di, the response was simply " I'm sorry" there was no sense of urgency, no meaningful explanation, and no effort to reassure me that the issue would be taken seriously. Insects can occasionally m makeend up in restaurants, but the management's response to a food safety concern says everything about how a business is operates. Based on what I personally witnessed, the handling of this situation was dismissive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. This was one of the worst customer service experience I have had at a restaurant. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this place to others. read more

My family and I love Hamjibak! We used to get takeout from there almost every week. When they announced they were closing, we were genuinely so sad because there really is no place like Hamjibak. As soon as they reopened, we immediately ordered takeout again. The ribs are exactly the same and just as good as we remembered. The salad changed a little, though. We liked when the dressing came separately because it kept the salad fresh. We're just so happy this place is back and hope it stays forever. The only downside is that we can't go for lunch since they open at 5 daily, but we understand. Gonna order to go tonight! read more

Ham Ji Park - Menu - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

i was sooo excited that this place was re-opening. My family has been coming here for the past 10 years. Last week I ordered takeout through their website. I don't believe they are using the same recipes. The rims were tasty yet did not have the same flavor as the original restaurant. The jamja tang was definitely not as satisfying. It was more spicy, more fatty and less flavorful. The highly rated zucchini pancake was meh. The new staff are very friendly, but the food was a real disappointment. read more
