The restaurant has a warm and welcoming ambiance, and there is plenty of parking nearby, which makes visiting very convenient. I work near this restaurant and often come here for lunch. This has become one of our go-to lunch spots. The broth is rich, flavorful, and comforting, and all the dishes come in generous portions. The servers are always friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which makes the dining experience even better every time we visit. read more

Awesome food and service! 돼지갈비 is best ~~ must try. 돼지국밥도 너무 맛있어요. Parking lot 이 넒고 넉넉해서 좋아요

The service was quick and kind, got seated at the peak of dinner time immediately. We tried the cold noodle and LA galbi combo, and the galbi tang which came out quickly. This was a good stop on our long drive down. Would try other items next time too. read more

Nothing like good soup to warm the soul. Parking is available in a lot behind the restaurant which is always a welcome addition in ktown. Anyway, not much to it here, order gukbap (pork soup). That's all there is to it. The types of pork cuts you want are up to you but just get gukbap at the very minimum. Add leeks, salt to taste, and you've got yourself a solid meal or two. The broth is rich and savory but not too salty, the meats are tender, and the side dishes are plenty. Wish I had more to say but short and sweet is the way to go here. read more

Much better parking than the other location and it's free! Cold noodle is amazing and you can also order extra noodle. Galbi and the leek pancake were really good too. Prob will skip the soup here and just get cold noodle, pancake and galbi:3 read more

Lots of yummy sides and a full spread of food! Reasonably priced for Ktown :) The lot for parking was pretty spacious for the time that we went, and the staff is quite sweet as well! If you like people watching, try to snatch a window seat... read more

Their pork rice soup is so good! So flavorful and their chili paste is so good with the pork slices. You can mix into your soup but because my spicy tolerance is low I take it out but eat with my pork slices. My boyfriend mixed his in and really enjoyed it too! Will definitely come back! read more

For some of the best gukbap and pork ribs in KTown, Jinsol Gukbap is the place. They are great at crafting comforting porcine dishes. Pork Soup with Rice: This namesake dish is also the signature dish. The bone broth is slowly simmered for over 24 hours. The rich and comforting soup is mildly seasoned so you can customize the flavor to your palate. There is a small cup of salt. Add salt to bring out the flavor of the pork broth. The scallions, garlic chives, and smear of chili paste also add layers of flavor. The soup contains soft rice and tender slices of pork. The move here is to dip the pork into the dish with spicy bean paste, onions, and jalapeno peppers. Marinated Spicy Pork Ribs: The meaty pork ribs have a sweet and sticky glaze. The edges are lightly charred and crispy. I'm a total peasant, so the raw onions and scallions add a nice crunch and bite to the richness of the ribs. Parking: There is a little lot in the back. read more

I got the cold noodle combo with spicy chicken. The spicy chicken here was honestly one of the best I've had at Korean restaurants. It was super tender and seasoned really well. The cold noodles are exactly as advertised, REALLY COLD and super refreshing. The portion is good for two people unless you're really hungry. I also tried the leek pancake, which wasn't listed, and it was crispy with a great dipping sauce. Service is great and has a great vibe inside, feels super friendly and close. Parking is a bit tough, so be ready to use valet or find street parking at night. I believe there's free parking in the back before dinner time. read more

Jinsol Gukbap 8th - cold noodles & spicy chicken - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Not sure if my most recent order was an off day for them? I've been coming here since pre-covid and usually order delivery now instead of going in. Yesterday my soup order tasted very bland. The packet of chives they provided was also half the size it used to be. I thought nothing of it, and put the leftover soup in the fridge after I was done eating. Today when I took the soup out, I was surprised to see that the liquid was still completely liquid-y. In the past, the soup would set jiggly like a jelly once cooled down in the fridge and you could tell that it was full of collagen and nutrition - but clearly this time my soup was very watered down. I hope it was just a one-off, but seems like cost-cutting measures are being implemented here... read more

Got the pork belly, cold noodles with chicken as a combo, and the beef rib soup. Everything was really good. The chicken was super tender, and the cold noodles were really flavorful. The pork belly was rich and tasted even better when wrapped with kimchi and garlic. Service was fast, and there was plenty of seating even on a Sunday night. Parking is valet only for about $4 or street parking. Overall, a great spot for comfort food vibes! I'd definitely come back! read more

A traditional Korean restaurant with free parking before evening. Lots of older folks come to eat here so that's how you know it's legit. My family got the pork soup with rice, beef soup with shredded brisket, hot pot bulgolgi, hot stone bibimbap and I got the spicy cold noodle with rib combo. Everything was so good!! I especially loved my cold noodle because it was filled with fresh herbs and loved all the nice additions that I usually don't see in cold noodle. read more

Authentic Korean comfort food place, not my favourite but not bad. Decent portion, service is standard (no bad attitude). 3.8/5 overall rating. I really don't enjoy venturing to Ktown for food because of the parking situation, but I do think there are better places to be at that's more memorable than this. FOOD They offer small plate appetisers like kimchi/ fish cake etc. I ordered the spicy pork (3.9/5) and it's tender and flavourful, portion is quite decent, had leftover for the next day. The soup that comes with it doesn't really have any flavour, not my thing. It's a comfort food spot, nothing exquisite. AMBIENCE Nothing much to talk about the ambience, it's clean and bright and spacious. Nothing aesthetic it's a chill casual food spot, same applies to the service. Definitely no rudeness or attitude, but don't expect 5 star pamper, servers are there when you need them. Nothing to complain about. OVERALL Might come back, maybe not. Idk. There is a lot of competition for Korean food spots in K-town, and I definitely have places that I prefer over this- no matter it's for soup or the grilled meat dishes. Love the decent sized portions tho! read more

Jinsol on 8th is one of those places that quietly becomes your comfort spot after one visit. The food tastes homemade in the best way, rich, deep flavors that feel authentic and satisfying without trying too hard. We ordered a spread and every dish hit. The kimchi stew was bubbling hot with that perfect fermented tang and tender pork, spicy, hearty, and soul-warming. The galbi was juicy and well-marinated, not overly sweet, just balanced and savory. The cold noodles were incredibly refreshing and chewy, a great contrast to the hot dishes. The bibimbap came packed with fresh vegetables and a beautifully seasoned sauce that tied everything together. And the steamed pork plate was melt-in-your-mouth tender, simple but done right. Service made the experience even better. Danny took care of us and was fantastic, attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without hovering. You can tell the staff cares about the experience, not just turning tables. Portions are generous, flavors are authentic, and the vibe is cozy and unpretentious. This is the kind of spot you crave again the next day. Definitely coming back. read more

This is a solid restaurant to go to in k-town if you just need a simple and clean meal! I love the old school design of the place, I know they have several locations so I was glad there was one here too! People get gukbap a lot here since that's their specialty which is highly recommended, but we sometimes come just to get their nengmyun and bibim nengmyun because theirs feels super clean and super tasty! We love eating it here! Service is very friendly and helpful! It's also one of the few ktown restaurants with parking! Woot! read more

Came here on a Tuesday to grab a quick bite. The soup was very clean when you drank it by itself and had a perfect salty finish when you mix the red paste into the soup. The thinly sliced pork was tender and moist. The spicy pork ribs were so good. I could eat this every day if I had the chance. The sauce had a hint of sweetness and the char on the pork gave the meat a smoky taste. The ribs were tender and moist as well. Will definitely come back. read more

This location is the best jinsol location. I feel like their soup is cooked the best and their Banchan selection is great and fresh. There's never really a line when I go at night for dinner and the workers are attentive. The workers also let you take your time here so I like that I don't feel rushed. The ambiance is great since the restaurant is so pretty big so it's comfortable. read more

Super nice staff. I came here with friends and as the only vegetarian there really are very limited options. I could get their bibimbap in a hot stone pot and say no meat. Otherwise as an fyi their cold noodle broth is actually beef. There's valet parking in the back for $2 at lunch or $3 during dinner. They accept Zelle for the valet as well as cash. I came on a Sunday and was seated right away. They have multiple TVs in the room an 2 showcase their dishes. The TV says their pork bone broth is cooked for 24 hours in a cast iron. read more

This leek pancake was simple, comforting, and surprisingly satisfying. The outside had a beautiful golden-brown crispness, while the inside stayed soft and chewy. What stood out most was the generous amount of fresh leeks packed into every bite, giving it a naturally sweet and savory flavor without feeling heavy. The texture was well balanced--not overly oily, and the edges had just the right amount of crunch. Paired with a dipping sauce, it became the perfect appetizer to share, though I could easily finish the whole plate myself. Sometimes the simplest dishes are the hardest to get right, and this one delivered exactly what a good leek pancake should: crispy, flavorful, and comforting. Rating: 8.5/10 read more

This place has been consistently good for soup!! They're famous for the pork bone soup and it's so comforting every time I get it! The soup comes with rice noodles and they have shrimp sauce on the side so you can adjust the saltiness yourself. The cold noodles were also pretty delicious. They also have cold noodle combos with either chicken or beef galbi bbq. Side dishes are also very good. Service is fast and efficient. Definitely a no frill good food kind of spot :) read more

I came to Jinsol hoping to order Ooguhji gukbap. This is a different location to where we usually go. Upon arrival I noticed there were no Korean ahjummas working like the original - it was 3 non Korean employees. I sat down anyway, looked at the menu and did not see Ooguhji gukbap. I asked the worker and they said they don't have that on their menu. I felt bad, but I left and went back to the original Jinsol for that gukbap. read more

Free parking?! In ktown that's so rare so already saving me a lot of stress of finding street parking. The inside is really neat and cute and for a Sunday night, they weren't too busy so we were able to get seated right away. We ordered the most popular number 1 and service was really REALLY fast. Food was absolutely delicious - they didn't rush us at all and we were able to enjoy great tunes, good conversation, and delicious food. The leek pancake was also amazing - crispy, light, and the perfect dipping sauce. Will definitely be back! read more

The food here is so authentic and so good. I ordered the spicy cold noodle and everything about it hit. The noodles were perfectly chewy and the sauce had just the right amount of spice and flavor without being overwhelming. What really got me was the portion size. The bowl was massive. I usually finish spicy cold noodles at other places with no problem, but this one was so big I couldn't even get through it. It came with half a hard boiled egg, extra egg on the side, radish, meat, and even a salad, which you don't usually get with cold noodles. It honestly felt like so much food in the best way. The side dishes were also really yummy and I loved that you can get more anytime. Service was great and everyone was super friendly. Overall it was just a really satisfying meal and I'll definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

Looking for comfort food? This is your spot! With the weather finally being cold, I was craving some kimchi soup! And for a really good price you could probably feed 4 people. Also ordered pig feet that came with a salad and a really tasty, zesty sauce. You HAVE to order the leek pancakes as your appetizer honestly. Probably the best one I've had and at a really affordable and reasonable price! Not to mention it's banchan/sides galore here! Everything fully complimented each main dish. The service is super fast and easy. They have parking available and plentiful of tables! The ambiance is this beautiful wood with breathtaking photos of Korea. Beautiful. read more
