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

I saw Jip Bap recommended by the NoHo Nick blog. I'm glad I took note of it because this is now one of my favorite restaurants. Jip Bap is a cozy place with friendly and attentive staff who show an obvious love and excitement for the food they bring the customers. The food is absolutely phenomenal. I tried a variaty of items and they were all just hands down delicious. The Bulgogi Bibimbap, Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box, and Pork Mandoo were all amazing. I highly recommend Jip Bap!! read more

Needed some soon tofu soup to warm my chilly Capricorn soul on these dam chilly California evenings. Found out this cute spot is so close to my apartment, glad I stopped by. 7 tables and a bar type seating to look out the window gives a very cozy and intimate vibe. You order at the table yourself and you are served your meal. You can ask for the check via the tablet or asking the host/server. Min was working last night and super helpful with my questions, and just kind in general. I had the beef tofu soup, with pork short ribs. It was served with rice and Banchan of fish cake, kimchi, and eggplant. The eggplant was the only thing that I wasn't enthusiastic about. read more

We have passed by this place many times, and told ourselves we liked it try it. So we did, and found it to our liking. There is only one person, Angie, out front to take care of everything that a server does, and a busser does, and taking care of lots of to go pickups. She handled it very well, and deserves a huge raise. We like the army stew quite a bit. It's on the spicy side so be warned. The dish which costs $37 including American cheese as an extra is enough to fill two people. It also comes with a side of rice. We like this place. Because Angie was so busy, it took us a while to get started, but it was worth the wait. We will definitely come back. read more

The food was even better today. Always good tho. Great service and thank you for refilling our banchan!

Jip Bap serves up Korean classics alongside a Japanese menu, but the flavors are more Americanized than traditional, at least for the Korean menu. I originally wanted Galbi Jjim, but they were out, so got the Galbi ($29.99) instead. I also asked for spicy, but it came sweet, with a side of gochujang to spice it up. The Kimchi Bokkeum Rice ($15.95) lacked the proper taste --more like a lightly seasoned fried rice. One win - the Zucchini Pancake ($14.50) they comped us--crispy, tasty, and a great match with the sauce. From the Katsu menu, the Potato Croquettes ($8 for 2 pcs) were also solid--crispy and creamy, no complaints there. Quantity: 4/5 - Decent portions for the price Ambience: 3/5 - Casual, easygoing spot. Nothing fancy Service: 4/5 - Friendly and welcoming, plus dog-friendly! Taste: 3/5 - Food is fine, but leans sweet and lacks that true Korean depth of flavor Parking: 3/5 - Street parking, managed to get a park right outside Tips: * If you want spicy, make sure to ask for extra gochujang. * No alcohol, so no soju for you! * Great for casual, quick Korean-ish comfort food--not the most authentic, but still a decent option in the area * Dog-friendly spot, so bring your pup! Seating outside :) Not sure I would come back as it's not the kind of Korean I'm craving lol. I need the authentic stuff! Japanese seems ok from what we tried. But overall, the flavors just didn't hit hard enough to make it memorable. That said, I did appreciate the friendly service and dog-friendly setup. read more

Food was meh. I cannot believe they charge for banchan. As a fellow Korean, that is not okay. Plus, my stomach hurts after eating their food. Probably will never order from here ever again. read more

I called in for a to-go order. Was pretty expensive for what you get, $28 for bulgogi before tip. (I thought it was less on the menu but the photos online might be wrong). Meat was undercooked and onions weren't cooked. Rice was cooked well and salad was normal, just very small. Looks like when you go in, you order from tablets on the table. Inside feels like small business/fast food style. Everything looked clean. Street parking was available on a late night saturday. read more

Smaller number of banchans than I'm used to. They'll only refill upon request--I think mainly because they're so busy every time we go. The prices are a tad shocking to me but everything we've had tasted great. read more

Great little shop with delicious food! Service was great, the lady was really nice and seems to know all of her customers. You order off a tablet and the food comes out pretty quickly. Definitely worth a shot to check out! read more

The wife and I were passing through Sherman oaks/Burbank area after a camping trip in Big Sur. We stopped by Jib Bap to satisfy our Korean and Japanese food cravings. The food here is delicious as well as the side dishes. The Korean in me munched on the bean sprouts and the fish cakes like it was a meal in itself. We ordered the pork belly soup combo and the pork katsu. Both were great and we destroyed it. The hospitality was great too. The owners need to be extremely grateful and thankful for the person who was working on 12/16 evening shift. Maybe it was the owner but nevertheless, the hospitality was amazing which added onto the whole experience. Thank you Jib Bap, we'll be back next time we are passing through! * no photos because we were too hungry to snap photos * read more

Ordered kimchi jiggae and only received like 3 pieces of meat. Short rib soup also not flavorful. Sorry but won't be ordering from here again. Already gave 2 chances. read more

I love this place so much. It has the best Korean food in the valley maybe even including K-Town. My favorites are the Galbi and the tofu soup. The hotteok dessert is amazing too! read more

This is the best place ever. If I could rate higher, I would. Our server, Shin Claire, went above and beyond with the service. Everything tasted scrumptious. I liked how everything was accessible through the iPad and very easy to order. I really liked the music they were playing. Everything was just perfect. read more

Soondubu jjigae (tofu stew) was AMAZING! - not salty, PERFECT level of "HOT/SPICY," and temp hot, just the way it should be. Loved the blk rice option! And the amount of soondubu and rice was at least 1.5x more than what you get anywhere else read more

I ordered delivery from the restaurant through GrubHub and ordered galbitang, galbi, dumplings and teokbokki. The galbitang that I ordered was way too oily and I thought they could've added more soup. They could've taken the time to skim the fat from the soup to get a clear taste. The meat was pretty tender. However, in the galbi entree, the meat was too chewy and a bit too sweet. The dumplings were ok. The tteokboki was too overcooked but it might be better when ordered directly at the restaurant. They only gave a tiny cup of kimchi. A Korean restaurant shouldn't be charging for banchan. read more

Wow!!! I wish I've known of this spot sooner, I wouldn't be driving to Ktown for Korean food. Service was great, food was absolutely top notch. The kimchi stew was phenomenal. Highly recommend! read more

I was craving galbi tonight and found this spot on Yelp. I'm so glad I did because it's really close to home and ended up being such a great find. The food was absolutely delicious. The galbi was perfectly marinated, tender, and packed with flavor. Everything came out fresh and hot, and you can tell the kitchen really takes pride in what they serve. The restaurant itself has a really cool, modern feel. Each table has a self-ordering system, which makes everything super easy and efficient. The vibe is relaxed but stylish, with R&B music playing through high-quality speakers that make the whole space feel warm and inviting. It's the kind of place where you want to stay and hang out even after you've finished eating. The staff were also incredibly friendly. Everyone seemed happy to be there, both the team and the guests, which gave the whole place a really positive energy. read more

the food here is soooo good and comes out fresh and hot. i decided to stop by randomly and i'm glad i did. it was a great experience. they have a japanese/korean fusion menu. you order the food on tablets. read more

I recommend this place, the staff is nice and accommodating. The place is cozy, and I want to say the food taste amazing.

not authentic/loads of MSG/rude waitress with bad attitude/watered down soup. Ok clean environment. Totally not authentic Korean food.

The food was good, but the delivery was unacceptable. Our food was not secured, so the lid was off. Also, I left specific instructions for the DoorDash or with our gate code number and ask them to leave the food outside our door. Instead, I had to go look for my food and it ended up being outside our front gate, which has public access and could have been taken by anyone read more

I literally just left the restaurant and decided to write a review because I'm so full. Currently too full to drive so I'm taking a walk. The food was fresh, authentic, and delicious. And the portions were generous. I dined alone and ordered the naengmyeon (cold noodle). It came with the full portions of the bonchon, all of which were done very well. 10/10 would order the naengmyeon again. It easily can (maybe should) be shared with 2 people. The service was 10/10 too. I'll be back! read more

Ive tried this spot many times but the dishes that were actually good don't exist anymore and the quality is no longer there. As a Korean, I don't understand why so many dishes here contain so much sugar (banchan, wings, tteokboki, the meats). The price is also crazy for the small portions they give and the taste/ quality is inconsistent. I wouldn't necessarily call the flavors "authentic" as they do feel modernized/ westernized. I think we've given them enough tries that we can confirm this restaurant just isn't worth the prices they charge. read more

Food was good. The cook deserves praise. I had the chicken katsu and it was not overcooked. I realize it is difficult to cook chicken breast well when fried AND trying to fill orders. The issue that killed the experience was the lack of accountability from the hostess / waitress. I had ordered the tofu soup as mild for my wife. When it came it was extremely spicy even for me (and I can eat raw habaneros). When I brought this up to the hostess / waitress she said it was a traditional mild for korean dishes (i've been to many korean restaurants before but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt). The cook came out of the kitchen and said to me in plain english "do you want me to make you another one? I'll make it more mild". I said yes and she nodded and I even said "I'll pay for it"...the hostess was standing there listening to the whole thing. After 20-25 minutes of waiting for my wife's soup I asked the hostess when she will bring out the other soup. She then tells me they are not making another one. Already annoyed, I had explained to her she was standing there when I agreed to the 2nd order of milder soup. She then tells me "the cook doesn't speak english, next time talk to me". I was stunned due to the lack of accountability. She was standing there not 3 feet away from the cook listening to our conversation...in english. I paid my bill and even tipped them 18%...which should go to the cook. The waitress should learn how to deal with customers and take responsibility. Killed the whole experience for me and I will never go back. For great korean food and service please try Seoul Bistro in Studio City. https://yelp.to/t8ab-B7ZLy read more

Jip Bap is one of the couple Korean spots in the area, nicely nestled around some notable eateries. The food selection is decent although perhaps too robust with no specific focus, ranging from street eats like tteokbokki to soondubu or galbitang. The flavors are fairly close to a proper home cooked meal akin to their shop name, "Jip Bap" which can translate to "home meal." However I found the flavors to be slightly off, as if some key ingredients were absent or ingredient ratio were off. I had the galbitang and tried some of the kimchijjigae, and neither hit home for me. Just adequate, reminiscent of the dishes they resemble. The service was great and dining experience was fantastic. Friendly staff and cozy ambiance made the dinner out feel not stress inducing. Would recommend for anyone in the area craving some Korean food but don't see the point in driving all the way to get some. read more
