Heard of this place and couldn't wait to try! Walking in it felt very welcoming. We were greeted by the waiter and he quickly sat us at our table. The lighting was low so mad it feel very quaint. For starters we ordered crispy rice w/ spicy tuna. It was so perfect!! So delicious. An order of shrimp tempura. Fried to perfection. We also ordered garlic chicken noodles and minced pork rice bowl. Both were very delicious. Two orders of chicken wings. One with sweet & spicy other with soy garlic. I absolutely loved the wings. They were light and crispy. The sauces were so amazingly delicious. Can't wait to visit again and try new items on the menu. read more

I waited to cool off before leaving a review because I try to find the best in these situations. Pros: I love the establishment. The place has a social vibe while still separating tables for privacy and encouraging fun in your particular area. It looks like they have karaoke nights and there are a few screens playing K dramas in the background. Cons: the food. We went at 1 PM and the place was empty so I was super disappointed that each plate we received was not up to par. One of my friends did the shrimp dumpling, which was far too expensive to not have a solid prawn in the middle as most dim sum spaces do. Instead, the dumpling was filled with minced shrimp and it taste mostly of egg at that price point you expected to taste protein before filler. I had the minced pork and rice which was overwhelmingly, salty and inedible. Quite frankly I saved it for the next day to see if my husband who is assault fanatic would say anything and even she thought it was inedible. I believe they poured a half bottle of soy sauce and my protein alone. One of my friends had the kimchi fried rice and she said it was decent. Finally we had the Korean fried chicken which they refused to split flavors on, and I could respect that if it had been any busier. But with us being the only one seated it kind of didn't make sense. I wanted to get a feel of the flavors in general to see which I should order for the next time.. be warned the chicken is sweet! Not the sauce, but the chicken itself has been marinated in some type of cinnamon sugar recipe. That is not familiar to me when I think about Korean fried chicken. That day, my friends and I giggled that this place was not as authentic as we had experienced driving down to kTown. It definitely felt like a "valley" version of Korean food. We even discussed giving them the benefit of the doubt that this could be a difference regionally that we had not experienced before. All of my concerns were confirmed the next day when I reheated the food in an attempt to give it a second chance with a fresh pallet. None of the leftovers were even edible. Finally, nothing is more annoying than a server who claims that the bill cannot be split any other way, but 50/50. It's 2026 and all back end systems allow split bills. Once again, this is understandable during peak hours, but it would have benefited the server to take two more minutes to try to figure out his system. This should be part of your server training. It seems he had plenty of time to learn since the place was so empty and in fact, my friend and I joked that we would be happy to teach him as we are familiar with industry standards. That's not to seem cocky, but given your location in noho the majority of your guests have food service experience as struggling actors etc. This is not the type of review that I enjoy leaving, but in hopes that one less small business is shut down take note read more

I finally decided to try the fried chicken wings. However, unlike most Korean restaurants, they don't include pickled diakon with the chicken. It's $5 extra. I didn't really need this much for 8 chicken wings. In fact, none of the main dishes come with Banchan. It is at least $5 extra each. The menu has expanded since my last visit. I think its now half Japanese and half Korean. read more

North Hollywood has a new Korean hotspot you need to check out--K-Pub in the NoHo Arts District! If you're craving Korean street food with a fun, modern vibe, this is the place. We tried the shrimp tempura, cucumber salad with sesame oil, juicy Hamburg steak, minced pork rice bowl, tender bossam, crispy rice spicy tuna, flavorful kimchi fried rice, and their crispy boneless fried chicken, every bite was packed with flavor. We also paired everything with Suntory All Free Beer and Sarari Sparkling for the perfect refreshing combo. The atmosphere is lively, the staff is incredibly friendly, and it's the perfect spot for lunch, dinner, or a fun night out with friends. If you're in North Hollywood, K-Pub is definitely worth adding to your foodie list! read more

K-Pub came up on a search for late lunch in NoHo, and the menu looked promising, so I swung by at about 3pm on a Wednesday. I was the only customer (though 2 more joined before I finished), and was given the opportunity to sit wherever I wanted. The dark wooden interior with assorted lanterns and decor work to transport you to Asia, and the friendly service quickly puts you at ease. As this was lunch, and I had a meeting after, I didn't opt for any liquor, but they have a nicely curated menu of Sake, Sochu and Beers at the usual prices. They offer a menu of lunch specials, also at very reasonable prices, but I wanted to try some other things, so I went rogue into the regular list of dishes. The one disappointment: skewers aren't available until after 5pm, and I would have liked to have tried several of those. That said, I ordered the Steamed Dumplings in Chili Oil, and the Boneless Korean Fried Chicken dressed with Soy & Garlic. The dumplings are very prettily plated, with thin slivers of scallion and cilantro, and the filling was subtly (and pleasantly) favored -- however, the sauce wasn't 100% to my liking. There was an overriding taste of tomato that seemed out of place, and tended to offset the Asian seasoning too much. The chef said there was no specific tomato in the sauce, but then opined "maybe it's the ketchup in the gochujang." It's not that it was terrible, but it just threw the flavor off, making this version of the dish less enjoyable than at other places around town. The Korean Fried Chicken was crispy, juicy, and piping hot, with a nicely seasoned coating. The portion was very generous (I brought half home), and the plating was, again, quite pretty. But once again, to me, the sauce came up short. It was a tad too sweet and much thicker than usual, once again overpowering the rest of the dish. I think the chef (no offense intended) may need a little mentoring in balance. Regardless of these few complaints, I found the food to be inherently fresh, carefully made, beautifully presented, and thoughtful, even if I didn't always agree with what they were thinking. I'm still intrigued by the interestingly described skewers, and plan to return to give those a try later -- and at a later time of day, so I can enjoy some sake and beer on the side. Go ahead, stop in -- the friendly people deserve your attention, and you'll surely enjoy the transportive environment. read more

Had so many different variations of Korean food from appetizers to entree. We ordered the classics: army stew and bossam. Both were served on a portable gas stove to keep warm. Bossam was really tender and came with a lot of vegetable sides to pair with. The army stew came with generous amount of meat / stew. (But cheese is extra charge - could honestly have done it without) Servers were really nice and respectful and the place feels cozy with the wooden aesthetic they had as dividers. read more

Inside seems more of a bar setting and a little dark, we came during lunch. I had a hard time seeing the menu but since my daughter was on a mission to eat tteobokki where ever she can, we knew this place had it. They didn't have an option for the less spicy version, which is fine. She still ate it but drank a sip of water with every bite. The service was fine. The portion and pricing doesn't seem to fit but at least we tried a new place. Like I said seems more of a bar than lunch. read more

Love the vibe here! Kpop music videos playing the background and the wooden seating and setup are a mix of modern and traditional. I wish more rice cake came in the dukbokki but it was still really good! It comes with ramen noodles and the sauce was great so we ordered another round of ramen noodles to add to the sauce. All the skewers were amazing. My favorites were the pork belly and gizzards. Everyone got corn cheese twice. The food overall was great and they offer a variety of alcohol. The food here is great for sharing and drinking with friends. Parking is really easy to find in the neighborhood. I hope they come out with more korean dishes as they aren't many korean food places around the area. We will definitely be back! read more

Not a lot of selection of food tbh. Mediocre food. Servers are nice but the food here isn't worth the price. Chicken wings were decent but bbq chicken in Burbank is significantly better. Cool interior vide though and a decent spot to go drink. Looks a lot like a bar in Korea. read more

Went to K-Pub tonight and all the food was very delicious! We got the steamed shrimp shumai, seafood pancake, tteokbokki, short rib yakatori, and chicken thigh yakatori. The portions were very large! All of this food for two people was way too much honestly, if we came with two more it would've been perfect. I took off two stars because 1. The short rib yakatori was very salty. Flavorful, but salty. Also we had to wait an extremely long time for our chicken thigh yakatori skewers. The chicken also needed the salt that the short rib had. Overall everything tasted very fresh, and I'll be happy to give K-pub another shot in the future. read more

The atmosphere was cool and the service was just okay however the food just wasn't good at all. We got garlic chicken noodles which didn't taste good at all and the chicken was very dry and chewy. The chili dumplings were cold and tasted bleh. For over $40 after tip you could've gotten better food at Panda Express. Maybe the ramen is better than the entrees? Who knows but I will not be coming back to see. read more

Located in noho arts district area, plenty of street parking that is metered. Stopped by on a Friday evening and I sat at the bar section. Wooden interior is lively and decorated with neon lights, high ceilings, tables for big groups too. Cute set up inside overall. Cons: one napkin initially served on a plate and the small aluminum cup of water. Please give access to napkins especially when eating your wings, they can be messy. I had to ask waiter for more. Also, only one waiter on the floor so it takes time to get your food out to your table. Unfortunately for me, I was not impressed with the taste of the food that I ordered. It tasted just "ok" but not to the point where I left amazed or full. I ordered their Cajun French fries but they were very mildly seasoned and some of the fries were greasy. 2/5 I also ordered 8 piece wings with bone in. Their wings are thick but because of the bone--and meat lacks, plus it was dry not moist inside. The outer portion of the wings-that tasted good the sauce I ordered was "sweet and spicy" felt like the breading was thick and like I said, each bite barely had meat in it. 2/5 I didn't finish both dishes and paid $26 out the door and still a tad bit hungry. I spent more time waiting for my order to come out than eating it. As I left, I wasn't acknowledged. Alcohol license still pending....That's all for now. read more

I love how the restaurant transformed the space into a "Pocha". Great ambiance. You can either order from the QR code on the table, or with the server. If you have a sensitive tongue, this is probably not the restaurant for you as many of the dishes are spicy! I do have to say that they had a touch too much garlic. The Chili Garlic Chicken was great - it had a touch of sweetness from the gochujang which made it almost sweet and hot. The Army Stew Hot Pot was very large and filling, but the taste was only okay. I am a little disappointed as it lists sausage and pork belly, but those were not there. Instead, there were cut pieces of what tasted and looked like hot dog. $30 was quite overpriced for this dish. I'm willing to return to try some other dishes when they have their liquor license and can serve soju cocktails. read more

This place was so cute! It reminds me of the one in Korea town so it's nice theres one in the valley. Delicious fried chicken very kind and attentive staff the young man who helped us was very nice. The owners husband I believe came over and gave us kimchi, I think he read my mind but overall the food was great beer was great and I'm happy we have a little Korean pub in the valley. Can't wait to come back and try the yakitori which is why we went but they start serving that at 5 pm so that's just a little side note. read more

Seriously Crunchy DELICIOUS wings. Pricey at $21 for 6, but mad respect for the quality of both the bird and sauce. On the recommendation of the delightfully friendly host, I landed on the Honey Lemon wings, not my first choice, but I don't wanna be that guy that asks for a recommendation and goes in another direction. So glad I did. Major benefit of this dish - they caramelize the sauce so the longer it sits the gunkier it gets. I know that sounds gross, but it's the added care they give their food that makes all the difference. You need a spoon to scrape up every last bit of that sauce. They're open late, so that's great, easy street parking. Definitely check them out. read more

Still new so there was a little bit of a rush where they got backed up on a Friday night with fried chicken. They don't have alcohol for sale yet. We got the army stew, fried chicken wings and seaweed salad. Army stew was pretty filling and great for sharing. Wings are the Korean fried chicken variety so they're twice fried making extra crispy. Hopefully they will get more people to help with the cooking and staffing the front! read more

$10 for a Sapporo draft is diabolical. Especially for a "pub." Glad they expanded the menu though

Considering its not Ktown, it's a decent pub food spot for Noho. Fried chicken original was good. Cold noodle kimchi was nice as well. The soju and beers were a nice kick for a hot spring night. The army stew was also decent. Service was good and friendly. read more

My family and I had lunch at K-Pub for the first time and everything we had were delicious; shishito pepper, seaweed radish salad, kimchi fried rice, sweet and spicy fried boneless chicken and minced pork rice bowl. We were also offered a side of kimchi and picked radish at no extra charge! Our server was friendly, as well as the man and woman in the kitchen area. Everything on their menu is reasonably priced. It wasn't busy when we went and we were able to find street parking without any issue. We will definitely be back to try the other food items on the menu. read more

Best new restaurant in North Hollywood by far! My sister and I tried a variety of their appetizers, including the dynamite scallop plate, dumplings in chili oil, the kimchi pancake, the cucumber salad (which was fresh as hell and so refreshing), and my favorite was the crunchy rice with spicy tuna. DELICIOUS. To be honest, I ate everything without even thinking to take a picture. I did take a picture, however, of the artwork on the walls. The owner told me that his daughter hand painted the murals towards the back of the restaurant and I couldn't help but compliment on how beautiful her paintings were. read more

We had read the reviews and were looking forward to experiencing this local spot. We arrived and were sat by friendly staff. We ordered a couple sodas that were served in cans with a cup. My wife really wanted to try some of their skewers but we were told that they couldn't serve yakitori until after 6pm (it was 5:45 and almost 2 hrs after opening). We then asked if we could order some fried chicken that we had seen on other yelp reviews but were told the menu changed the previous day and they no longer served it. We ended up ordering the fried rice and boneless honey lemon chicken. The serving proportions are on the smaller side. My wife ended the night ordering the Lychee on ice dessert which ended up looking and tasting like they just dumped the can of lychee over ice. Unfortunately we felt like they missed the mark with us and ended the night. read more

Recently opened in bustling North Hollywood, K-Pub offers popular Korean fare. Tonight, we had the Kimchi Tofu with Pork, Japchae, Radish Seaweed, and House Made Kimchi. Each dish was amazing, truly showcasing the uniqueness and complexity of Korean food! Our server was very helpful in answering our questions about the menu, and advised us of the portion sizes to prevent us from ordering more than we really needed. Despite the current menu, K-Pub just received its alcohol license, so you can enjoy an adult beverage with your meal. The seating was spaced out, and they are putting the final touches on more dining area wrapping around to the back of the restaurant. Very lovely addition to NoHo! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and after a miss at another place, we came here. It's a pub and had that vibe but my daughter enjoyed the atmosphere and the fries and fried chicken wings! We also got the Kim Chi fried rice and the seafood pancake. All very yummy! Got the og wings but tried the sweet and spicy sauce and the galbi - both quite good! Service was very friendly and the place was fun! K-pop playing so my daughter just started dancing! Would definitely come back! read more

I had been coming to this location for years when it was Dragon Street, so just say I was shocked when I drove by and saw a new restaurant in this location, but I was also excited to see what K-pub was offering. The look, vibe and ambience are all drastically different, but in a good way. It was updated and stylish, but with a cool 'hangout' vibe. The staff was pleasant, the menu had some great options, the food was very tasty and I think this place definitely has a place in NoHo. Hopefully they'll enjoy the multi-decade existence that Dragon Street attained before them. read more

First time dining at this restaurant. I appreciated the seating layout, especially for a fairly large group. The atmosphere was inviting and the restaurant was clean. Unfortunately, the food portions were small for the price, and everything we ordered was very salty. We had one army soup, two shrimp fried rice, one and a half orders of fried chicken, sticky rice cake, glass noodles, kimchi, and 4 can sodas. After spending about $170, our party of seven was still hungry, and the saltiness made it hard to eat more. Service was a bit awkward. The waiter consistently placed all the dishes on my son's side of the table, handed him the check, and even returned the receipt to him after my husband paid with his credit card. The empty plates sat on the table way too long and he never checked to see if our water canister was empty. Overall, this is a new place with potential, but improvements in food balance and service awareness would make a big difference. read more

This is very much a bar that happens to serve Korean style food. The service was quick and friendly and they have lots of drink options. The garlic edamame was good, but all the rest of the food was just ok, but slightly lacking flavor. If you want a 5 star Korean meal this isn't the place, but for a drink and a snack It's a solid spot read more

Great new Korean spot in NoHo! Delicious and tasty Korean fried chicken and glass noodles. It is missing that extra flavor I tastes from restaurants in Ktown, but overall, it satisfied my cravings. The price was overall affordable. Service of the place was great. It is fairly new, so it does get busy during the dinner rush hour. read more

Sorry but the food here is bad. Everything tasted poor quality, and the restaurant was completely empty. We ordered a few things like crispy rice, garlic chicken noodles and the skewers. Not one thing was good at all. Tasted like microwaved food. read more

By word of mouth, I found this nice Korean pub in North Hollywood's arts district. Once you're inside, it has the cozy feel of an old school sushi bar. I had the honey lemon chicken paired with a kimchi salad, both of which were really good.....and maybe it was because I was the only guest in there at the time (around 1pm), but the service was friendly and efficient, with a rather short wait time. My only complaint (and this is a small one): they don't serve banchan with the chicken, as I had to order the kimchi salad separately. Overall, a great experience, with hopefully many more visits to come!! Thank you, K-Pub!! read more

Loved the food and service it was awesome! The staff gave great recommendations and the ambiance of the restaurant transported us

Went here at midnight one night with a friend and they were very friendly but the second dish they forgot to bring for 20 minutes until we reminded him where it's at and he said oh sorry it was sitting right there I forgot to bring it. Don't blame the guy it was very late but the chefs or whoever put it there could've said something or how did he not notice after 20 minutes that it was still sitting there. We were the only people at the restaurant at that moment. Food was mid. But still a decent spot that's open late. Maybe the other items on the menu are good I can't judge everything but I got a pork dish that was mid I'd give it a 6/10 The chicken was much better for sure! read more
