    Angus Beef Bowl
    Oliver P.

    Decided to try a new place and found this small Korean spot behind the 7Eleven on Tampa and Rinaldi called K-Stop! Everything looked really good but decided to go with the ANGUS BEEF BOWL and it was DELICIOUS!!!! Good amount of beef that was juicy and tender! So much flavor! I would definitely come back for this and maybe try one of their Kimbap's! The service was really good! The lady that helped us was so friendly! The restaurant itself was very clean and cute! A lot of beef bowls come out a little dry but this was very juicy and I loved it!

    Japchae with Bulgogi and Bulgogi Kimbap
    Tahini R.

    I had a craving for some japchae and kimbap so I looked up some places nearby. I'm so happy to have found K-Stop because their food was so fresh and amazing! I called to pick up an order of the japchae and Kimbap. For the japchae I wanted it with bulgogi ( $3 extra for the meat) and it was ready within 15 mins, which was perfect because that was the distance for the drive from my place to there. Once I arrived I let them know my order, I paid and enjoyed it at home. The place itself is a small and cute little spot. They have some tables if you want to eat inside, but I wanted to enjoy it from the comfort of my home. The food itself was very fresh and flavorful, and the portion size was really good too. I will definitely be coming back here when I'm craving kimbap and Japchae again!

    Tuna Kimbap / 참치김밥

    KStop is a small, casual Korean spot best known for their kimbap (Korean rice rolls). I first tried it when a friend picked some up for a quick dinner, and at that time I really enjoyed it -- especially the anchovy, along with the bulgogi and tuna rolls. This time around, my experience was a bit more mixed. I ordered delivery, and it was right before closing, so that may have played a role. I ordered the tuna and anchovy kimbap and the kimchi fried rice. Unfortunately, the tuna kimbap felt completely unseasoned -- there was very little flavor compared to my first experience. The anchovy kimbap, however, was still solid and remains my favorite item on the menu. The kimchi fried rice was also disappointing. While I appreciated that it came with a runny egg, the rice itself lacked flavor and didn't have the bold, tangy kimchi taste I was expecting. I wouldn't write KStop off completely -- I'd be open to trying it again, ideally in person and earlier in the day -- but based on this order, I'd probably stick to the anchovy kimbap only, which has been the most consistent for me.

    Omg, I used to live in porter ranch and can't believe never been here. Food is so good, super fresh, staff is super nice. I got bento box with beef and the portion was huge for this price it's a lot, couldn't even finish half. I wish this business success and further development

    Bulgogi Box
    Chris S.

    Stopped in to try this restaurant. Walking in was a little confusing as the food aspect of the store was in a back corner. The main part of the store was a acai bowl (and other flavors) and a tea bar. We went to the back to look at the menu and then came back to the bar area to order our food. We both got the Bulgogi box and we shared the K-Kimbop. The counter person was helpful and nice. The food came, and we dug in. The K-Kimbop was good, but needed some sauce. I added a touch of soy sauce. The Bulgogi was good and the box was arranged nicely with the noodles and pickled veggies. It also came with a side of whit rice. All in all, I enjoyed it. It is a convenient stop right off the freeway for a decent lunch.

    Came here for lunch with my brother around 2pm on a Wednesday Lots of parking available Dog friendly The interior is very clean I really love the concept! You can tell The kimbap here is made with love Perfect balance on rice and fillings. I love that they wrap their fillings with a lettuce leaf to keep the contents tight and snug. I got the k kimbap and bulgogi kimbap. K kimbap is made with imitation crab tasted like fish cake kimbap nothing to special very good baseline. Bulgogi kimbap is made with very tender meat. The marinade did taste closer to kalbi and you can really taste the flame grill. Highly recommend. My brother got the buldak chicken plate. The meat was very soft and tender. The overall plate was super filling for him and put him in a food coma. It's a small business. You can tell they make your food fresh and to order. Total was 40$ for two. Very friendly staff offered is waters while we waited. Definitely coming back!

    Bulgogi kimbap
    Steve S.

    Impressively delicious kimbap at this cafe. It's essentially a seaweed-wrapped cut roll with bulgogi meat, korean carrots and cucumbers inside. I added a little soy sauce and hot sauce and it was a go. Each bite was very fresh and juicy, as the flavor of meat and the fresh veggies was definitely popping, delivering a plethora of flavors to my taste buds. The service was good and friendly and the spot itself is clean, modern, with about 6 tables for a quick dine-in. P.S. They also have an acai bar with a massive selection of toppings. Will definitely come again!

    Anchovy Kimbap / 멸치김밥 Bulgogi Kimbap / 불고기 김밥

    Got the anchovy and bulgogi kimbaps. I can't believe I am just trying this place now despite living like 2 mins away. Safe to say I tore this up and will be returning very soon. 10/10

    Plastic particles in the matcha drink

    I've never been in this place even though I leave near by, so I decided yesterday to stop and get a matcha drink , what a mistake!!! The cup was all ice , matcha tasted like green tea ice cream on top of coconut water. Then, I found pieces of plastic particles in my $9. Drink. Very disappointed.

    Came here for a second time with my fiancée to have her try the Acai bowls and she loved it. She complemented the interior design and comfortability of the store. The price is super affordable, only $8 for 12 oz with unlimited toppings and a delicious Acai sorbet. Highly recommend, is one of the better Acai bowls we've had in the SFV

The space itself is cute, trendy, and modern, but according to my Korean friends, the food stays true to tradition -- which is exactly what you want from a place like this. There was a line when we got there, but it moved quickly -- and they came around to take our order while we were still waiting, so food came out fast once we sat down. I've had bossam before and always got cold, sliced meat -- not my thing. Here, it comes out hot, and the pork jowl was incredible. I genuinely could not stop eating it, so tender with that perfect grilled edge. They also start you off with a little bowl of barley rice (bori bap) as part of the banchan -- first time trying it and it was such a nice, unexpected touch. We also shared the chicken sujebi and it was pure comfort in a bowl. The hand-torn noodles were perfectly chewy and the broth was seasoned just right -- not too salty, just deeply savory. Heads up on parking: it's tough. I got lucky with street parking but it's only 1-hour limit, so keep an eye on the clock. The lot is valet only and looked chaotic when we pulled up, so budget extra time (and maybe cash) if you go that route. Honestly one of my favorite meals I've had in Koreatown, and a great spot to bring visitors -- my friends loved it too. Already planning my next visit to work through the rest of the menu. Highly recommend, especially if you love Korean comfort food done right.

The Chicken Kalguksu was a highlight with its thick, chewy noodles and creamy broth. The squash was a delicious addition - comforting and warm, a must-order! The Hangari Bossam (medium) was perfect for sharing, and the tender pork belly was amazing with the cabbage and kimchi. I especially enjoyed it with the jalapeños; it's the best of both worlds, melting in your mouth! We left feeling full and happy, already looking forward to our next visit. This is a must-try in Ktown!

Danbi is located in Los Angeles's Koreatown and specializes in modern Korean cuisine. For Dine LA, they offered a $45 tasting menu. We started with their signature honey butter chips. I used to not understand what all the hoopla was about these chips! But today, they were really good... and I think it's the honey butter sauce. The first time I ever had these chips, in 2024, there was no sauce on them. I just thought they were regular chips. And I probably never would have gotten them again if they weren't on a prix fixe menu. These chips were divine! Thinly sliced potatoes fried in house and topped with a decadent honey butter sauce and fresh chives. The sauce really made this appetizer. Thick and creamy, almost like condensed milk. And the touch of freshness from the chives really brought everything together. Although simple, I felt like this dish was very well crafted. Next, we had the corn cheese rolls - sweet corn and mozzarella cheese wrapped in an eggroll-like pastry and served with a sweet, tangy gochujang sauce on the side. These came piping hot and were so fun to eat. The cheese was so stretchy and the sauce really elevated this dish, cutting through that rich cheese and adding a savory, almost smoky element. Then our drinks arrived. I got the hwachae milk punch with milk clarified soju, strawberry, lychee, and lime. This drink was sweet and fruity and tasted just like one of those lychee jellies you would buy at the Asian grocery store. My friends had the kimchi mule, house white kimchi infused soju with ginger and pear - essentially a Moscow mule with fermented notes and a savory umami from the kimchi. Nice and refreshing. Then we had a watermelon kimchi salad. This wasn't my favorite. Compared to everything else we had tonight, this was a bit boring. It was light and refreshing, but I wanted more fermented flavor. But it was still good, and the Hami melon was nice and crisp. You can never really go wrong with watermelon. Then we had the spicy sashimi noodles with sea bream, soba, dropwort, and perilla. This dish was interesting, summery, and cool. Cold soba with a spicy kick. Flavor wise, the ssamjang and perilla stood out to me. And the soba and sashimi added some nice textural contrast. Our last savory course was their grilled pork jowl topped with their house chili crisp and served with a side of garlic rice along with some ssamjang and peppers. The pork jowl was, of course, delicious. The cut is naturally bouncy due to being jam packed with collagen. The grill imparted a nice, smoky charcoal flavor to the meat, which was also infused with that delicious chili oil. Their garlic rice is so good! It's packed with garlic flavor and perfectly fluffy. For dessert, we had a goguma parfait - sweet potato custard with a strawberry and blueberry compote. This dessert was.. interesting. The texture was smooth and creamy, but you could definitely tell that there was a sweet potato in there. I think this dessert could use a little more textural contrast. I definitely would have appreciated a cake layer in the parfait or a more prominent crunchy element rather than just the two pieces of tuile garnish on top. That being said, it was still good. Danbi is one of my favorite restaurants in LA if not my number one favorite. Their menu feels modern, interesting, and creative, innovating on traditional Korean classics while remaining authentic and delicious. I especially liked their Dine LA menu for this season as it felt very fun and summery. I can't wait to come back and see what else they have to offer!

If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.

    Suuper bummed about our experience today. We ordered the cold noodle & LA galbi combo as we always…read moredo, and a leek pancake as we weren't as hungry and the combo usually fills us up. Even when we ordered the food, the server said "that's it?" as if she was offended that we didn't order more food (lower sales?) I'm not sure if we misunderstood her attitude but that's kind of how it felt like. The quality and size went down and it was just... not good. This used to be my #1 spot for cold noodles but our other fav place was closed today so we decided to come here. As you can see, the size of the cold noodles became smaller. Everything was packed in this small bowl which made it harder to eat. I think they changed the noodles they use because it wasn't doing anything texture wise. It used to be chewy and had a good buckwheat flavor. The broth tasted.. like water with a splash of bone broth. The quality of galbi was also a disappointing as I feel like it's became less and the meat was burnt with more fat/chewy bits. The leek pancake was ok but again, comparing it to my picture from January, it was bigger in size and more dough-y. Service was decent previously but it felt a bit cold today. Again, super bummed because we still love this place but I probably won't be ordering their combo again. You can see in my pictures how often we used to order the cold noodles from here and you can compare the quality.
