Great Korean eats in Van Nuys area! Portions are generous and family-style, so expect leftovers. Cold Bulgogi noodles were delicious and flavorful by itself, and elevated with their house sauce. Served plenty of banchan/side dishes. Really good sour and tangy kimchi! Had the pear juice, not the slush, but would recommend both on taste alone. Very sweet and refreshing! Service was prompt and I felt very welcome. Beautiful outdoor patio and many tables indoors. Restroom is through the kitchen, so just ask! Really enjoyed my meal here! read more

Jip Bap - Cold BULGOGI COLD NOODLE - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pretty solid Korean food in the middle of a very random section of town. Parking on the street. Service was very nice and I love the convenience of ordering on the iPad at every table. The food is piping hot and solid. Reminds me of good home-cooked food. Small array of banchan along with my fiance's chicken kimchi tofu soup and I had a large portion of the clam noodle soup. Very good portions and took some home too. read more

Jip Bap - Clam soup - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Had a quick few minutes prior to grabbing the kids and we tried this spot as it was on the way to the kids school. Nice quaint place with a few tables a few counter seats by the window and a few tables outside. Tablets to order are affixed on the indoor tables which is very modern. Missed the pancake and pear slushie which the latter was sold out and the former wasn't even on the menu when we came for lunch? So we went with the fried chix and the tofu soup. Nothing extraordinary but considering the area, halfway between ktown and northridge it will do. Of course the soup remained pipping hot throughout the meal, which has to be a standard when eating almost all korean soups. Food was good. Chicken was sweet and sticky-icky. The tofu soup missed the oomph. Was spicy and pipping hot but was kinda watery. Likely a one and done since there are so many other different options in the area. Might be worth a retry if we're in the area and under time constraints again. read more

Today I ordered from the Korean place called Jip Bab They had to buy one get one free: I got the Japchae with veggies: it's silver noodles and vegetable vegetables delicious with a soy sauce: so tasty I will order again I also got KimAri: which are small roles with seaweed and vegetable vegetables inside; it is an acquired taste, but I liked it read more

Quality food and service. The meat was perfectly cooked and was delicious. Between the Galbi and the Bulgogi, the Galbi shined. Pair with a bowl of rice and it was perfect! Sidra Soda was also refreshing and was not overly sweet. The only downfall was the prices as items on the menu seemed expensive. Will definitely be back to support this small business as the food was great and the staff was so nice. Can't wait to try the other items on their menu! read more

Love love this place! We've been back several times! Tried a lot of things on the menu. Some favorites include the potato croquette and the karaage chicken (kid friendly). The staff is super nice and the food is always on point. This last visit, we came on a Friday around 5:30. This is near our daughter's gymnamstics class. You order from the menu - we got the karaage chicken for my daughter, I got the galbitang and hubby got the teriyaki chicken. Everything was delicious as usual. Really love this place! read more

This tiny restaurant is a huge gem! They offer a nice variety of both Korean & Japanese food that is delicious & plentiful. The service is wonderful--very friendly & helpful. The decor is great--very clean & simple. Jip Bap also offers outside seating & cleverly surrounds the tables with bushes, giving guests privacy. More importantly, we love that they are very earth-friendly, using stainless steel bowls, cups & serving ware--i.e., no plastic or anything disposable. We also love the convenience of ordering via the iPad at the table, allowing us to continue ordering, ask the waiter for assistance or close out our tab. My only suggestion is to offer iced tea (though I could just add ice to their hot tea) & a vegetarian option. Nonetheless, we will continue patronizing Jip Bap as we always leave there feeling very satisfied. read more

Solid Korean food spot on Burbank Blvd, a busy street during rush hour. The menu prices are a bit above average, but dining in was well worth the experience. They do have a some menus outdoors that also include some Japanese food. Ordering was fairly straightforward via their on-table kiosk. It's a very chill spot with little foot traffic even on a weekend for dinner. There is much ambiguity with their menu items; sometimes stuff is available, sometimes it's not. Some are seasonal, but they aren't labeled as such. Prices are also not on their menu. I enjoyed their Kalbitang, which had several bones of meat. The meat was all cooked to perfection and tender; the broth was hearty though heavily flavored with what tasted like soy sauce. My favorite was the fluffy rice. I thought their sides were tasty, but I neither intrigued nor inclined to ask for more. There were a few customers that walked in to order, and they do have options for seating both indoors and outdoors. The atmosphere is overall very relaxing, perfect for either a rainy day or a pick-me-up meal. read more

I am SOOO happy I found this korean spot and not have to drive to K-Town!! We got the Soon Tofu Jjigae - 1 with beef and 1 with seafood, both with purple rice, and the Haemul Pajeon (Seafood pancake). The pancake I wasn't too impressed by, the bottom was pretty soggy (maybe it's supposed to be this way?), but the flavors were great. Love the side dishes it came with! HOWEVER, the Soon Tofu Jjigae was 1000% worth it and why it's still 5 stars to me. A pretty generous portion, piping hot, and hits the spot. Parking wise, there is a tiny lot in the back, but I prefer to park on Burbank Blvd or on a side street. You order on an iPad which I don't LOVE, but also there was only 1 lady working at the time so I'm sure that helps her a lot. Will absolutely be back soon! read more

The place is quite small but it has several tables ans chairs. The place was really busy, there was only 1 server visibile so service was bare minimum. We ordered the Sukiyaki bowl and Pork Cutlet, both were under Japanese dishes. We ordered them from the iPad from the table which was very easy and accessible.They both were just okay, nothing extraordinary but generous portions. The place featured signs about tipping and if you are 6 and more, automatic 18% gratuity. The total for both dishes came about $48. read more

I've driven by this place SO many times but never ever experienced it. We would alway see it whenever we're driving along Burbank Blvd. This visit, after our nail appointment I remembered the katsu sign as that what I would alway see. But never knew what the exact name of the restaurant was. Well, good thing it was literally around the corner from where we were. There's street parking which we were lucky to get right out front. Plenty parking along Burbank blvd. I'm not sure but there maybe parking in the back. The place isn't that big with a couple of tables on the patio and more inside. It was our first time so we weren't quite sure about it. Well, you seat yourself and there's a kiosk machine on each table for ordering. Self service, place your order and voilà. The menu isn't big at all. You have Korean and Japanese main entrees. There's bento boxes, katsu of course, hot pot, stone pot and sides. Not a lot to go off but they do have a good amount of the classic and favorites. After we places our order, sides dishes were brought out as well as a water container. Fishcakes and the kimchi was a major hit. Quite tasty so it was a good little snack while waiting for the entree to arrive. Also, extras were included if you wanted more. We went with the pork katsu and fish katsu meal. Serves with salad with either white or black rice. Also added a side order of curry sauce for an additional fee. It wasn't too long till the food arrived and by the looks of it, it was nice. Fish and pork were cooked perfectly and battered nicely. Each bite had the perfect crunch to it. Each piece was juicy. It also came with a side of katsu sauce. Food was great and service was excellent. We did noticed loads of take out which was nice. The lady working was a doll and sweetheart. Busy as she was the only one but still had a smile on her face the entire time. There's a restroom which is in the back going through the side of the kitchen. Overall, the meal was very tasty and flavorful. Seeing all the other dishes and bento boxes being brought out, makes you want to try everything. Will definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

Came here with a friend for lunch on a recent Sunday and had an enjoyable meal. We both ordered the galbitang, short rib soup. My friend tried to order the cold noodles since it was a hot day (especially for November), but apparently it's a seasonal summer-only dish and was marked as sold out on the menu. The galbitang was well made, with plenty of tender beef, and the broth tasted flavorful and clean. The portion was large, I took the rest of it home and it was enough for another meal. Ordering was simple using the tablet at the table, although we tried to put in separate orders so we could get separate checks but they ended up combining the bill at the end. Not a big deal since we just put down 2 credit cards and they split it for us, but just FYI. The banchan was decent, a small selection of 4 items but they did refill upon request. As for parking, we both found spots on the street. Apparently there's parking available in the back, but I couldn't figure out where was safe to park and didn't see any signs, so I opted for the street since I didn't want to take a chance. Would definitely return to order the soup again, especially now that the weather is colder, and try other dishes as well. read more

Jip Bap - Galbitang (short rib soup) - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Parking: Jip Bap is a very small store so it is easy to miss. There is a very small parking lot / alley in the back. It looked like parking were for the stores in front but there was no way into the restaurant. I had to walk around to the street. Exterior: There was a small patio area with a few tables for dining. It looked relatively clean. Interior: Jip Bap is a pretty small restaurant. There were not many tables available but it was very clean. It was not very busy when I went on a weekend for lunch. Service: There was a tablet at each table to order from. The waitress there was friendly. Food: I got the Pork Katsu with a side of curry. The meal comes with some typical Korean side dishes. The breading on the katsu was fried perfectly so that it was golden, crispy, and not too greasy. However, it was already heavily seasoned so it was actually a bit too salty for me when I added curry to it. Overall, it was a nice meal. read more

I came for the bimbimbap but tried a lot of other dishes. Everything was good. We had the gyoza, japchae, fried chicken with soy glaze and banchan. My favorite was the fried chicken and banchan. The pickled sides really help with the fried dishes we got. Will definitely go back again! read more

Discovered this spot near our hotel, and it turned out to be a great find! Orders are placed directly on the tablet at your table, and the server brings everything over, including the banchan--though I do wish they offered more than just four varieties. We were a bit skeptical about the food, especially dining in at 9 PM, but were pleasantly surprised by both the quality and portion sizes. For our group of four, we ordered Galbi, Japchae, and Galbitang, all of which were flavorful and satisfying. read more

I think this is the correct restaurant? I ordered on Uber Eats and it shows this address but the name is "Katsu- Sherman Oaks." ANYWAYS- this chicken katsu was SO GOOD. It was crispy but not cut your throat crispy and the curry was so flavorful. I loved every second of eating this. The portion size was also pretty good- I was able to eat lunch for two days with this order. Definitely will be ordering from here again! read more

Damn this spot hit the spot. It is worth exploring. Small quint restaurant but has exceptional service and food. The flavor and portion size was worth it. I got the galbi, dumplings, and kimchi soup.

I came to Jip Bap on a weekday lunch w a craving for some kimchi fried rice. The parking situation is pretty bad; you can attempt some metered street parking (though this was taken when I arrived) and when I attempted to go through the nearby gas station to find parking in the back, while I did find parking there and did in fact, park, I very much do not think this was the parking for Jip Bap and am happy I didn't get a ticket or get towed. I initially was actually going to place an order online for carry out but I saw that online if you want banchan there is a $7 fee for this? So ultimately, I just opted to eat inside. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and the place was not busy when I came though there were a few other customers. There is a tablet on each tablet for you to browse their menu and submit your order. Service was quick after I placed my order. Banchan (misc) 3/5, this was just ok though mainly because the items that were not supposed to be chilled (ie, not the kimchi or veggies) were also chilled so I felt it wasn't very fresh? Kimchi fried rice 4/5, this was quite good. I enjoyed this dish though I think I would limit the amount of meat served within it in the future read more

Wanted to try something new and different and went based on the good reviews, and was not disappointed at all. I've never been to Korea, but have a very strong feeling this is the real deal. Everything was delicious and fresh. The complementary kimchi and pickled vegetables were amazing. The hand pulled noodles with clams and seaweed was awesome. The only thing that was not quite as impressive was the salad which was fine, but nothing special. You order on the little screen that's at each table and there was only one server, but he was very good and attentive. Probably ordered a little too much. Can't wait to go back. Hope they get a beer and wine license one of these days because a nice beer or some Soju would've gone great with this meal. read more

Jip Bap is a cozy Korean spot that hits the mark for a satisfying, casual meal. Parking is street only, but it's was easy to find parking right in front. The service can be a little slow, they seem to handle a high volume of takeout orders, which can slow down dine in service. Still, the staff is friendly and food is good! I tried the naengmyeon (cold noodle soup) and it was a refreshingly cold, with perfectly chewy noodles and a tangy, savory broth that's incredibly satisfying on a hot day. The balance of flavors was just right. The Galbi (grilled short ribs) was nicely marinated, tender, and tasty. It was well-seasoned without being overpowering, and paired nicely with the traditional banchan sides. read more

The broth was really good... it's a computer tablet ordering system - I don't like that. This place is probably fine for most people, but I was hoping for a more homey restaurant- it's not bad I think the concept is just tablet high tech of a vibe (which is fine)... but not my style. The food was decently good though... Soon Du Bu not as good as BCD Tofu house but it does taste good and better than I expected so I was happy. When we went in the restaurant was empty and the server was in the back so I had to stand up and wave her down for service- she probably didn't think she needed to be outside because it's tablet ordering, however, she should still be up front and not leave the front unattended for periods at a time (chatting with people in the back). When other customers came in and it got busier - her service got better, then she continued to check in on us- which I appreciated. This place is good if you're not a foodie- or if you're not looking for a high character and old-charm authentic environment... but the broth and flavors of the food here IS good. I only wish they put more beef in there... small beef portions and mostly Tofu. Would I recommend this place? Yes... if you don't want to drive to KTown and you're ok with high flavor but less meat portions in your beef Soon Du Bu. (Sorry I know I may mistaken in my spelling). I don't live near here... so... I was happy with my food and satisfied... but I won't go back. Maybe if I lived close to that neighborhood I (maybe) would go back, if I was craving. But I'd rather go to Ktown. read more

A really good spot if you're craving Korean food, but are in the NoHo/valley area and need a spot authentic that isn't in Koreatown. We got the galbi and some kimchi soup. I liked their banchan (side dishes) and the galbi came on a sizzling plate which is always fun! I think the food is good and the most authentic in its area, but I haven't craved it since trying it. Good spot to get a Korean food fix if you're nearby! read more

The quaint little spot on Burbank Blvd has maybe 9 takes inside and 3 outside. Inside you can order using one of the iPad. The menu is small but the options are delectable. Interesting mix of Korean and Japanese options. I went for Korean, since that's what I came there for. All orders (maybe main dishes?) come with complimentary banchan (fish cake, radish & onion, kimchi, sprouts) and iced water but I also ordered a hot tea. I opted for the Galbi and Soup Combo. Yummmmmmm!! The galbi was deliciously sweet and savory, with some parts more fatty and other parts nice soft meat. My mouth is still watering thinking about it. The soup I chose (you get 4 options) was Beef Soon Tofu Jjigae and it was soooo good! Perfectly balanced flavor and only a little spicy. I saved most of it and the black rice (upcharge of $1 but refillable for free) for breakfast tomorrow. I can't wait to come back here when I'm in the area again and bring friends! I hope the pictures and video help. read more

Inconsistent portions and service I've ordered from Jipp Bap many times, and it's usually been good, which is why this experience was disappointing. My recent order on Sunday around 8 PM had a noticeably smaller portion--less than half of the container. I compared it with a soup container that was almost full, and the difference was very clear. The amount of pork and vegetables was also minimal compared to what I've received before. In addition, the staff at the front did not seem very friendly during this visit. I hope the restaurant can improve consistency in portion sizes, food quality, and customer service, as I've had better experiences before and would like to continue supporting them. read more

We came for lunch and you order on an iPad (which I felt was unnecessary for such a small place), they have a mix of Japanese bento dishes and Korean soups and meat combos. Price is comparable to other places nowadays but still feels pricey for a combo $20+ per. I got the kimchi seafood soup, it was ok but a big portion. The salmon bento was good. read more

Good service and cute exterior, but the real standout is the food. Pleasantly surprised. I went alone late at night and it didn't feel awkward at all. The galbitang was honestly better than many I've had in Korea. The meat was already sliding off the bone before I even touched it. It was so tender it melted in my mouth. Just when I thought I'd finished all the meat, there was still plenty left. Some of the banchan leaned a bit sweet, but I still cleaned every bowl. I'm going back today to try more dishes. read more
