    Cute setting with complimentary cream soup!
    Eunhae H.

    I've been wanting to try Lasung House, but because there was a craze I wanted to visit when the line and hype died down. I came in for lunch, and had to order the Pork Cutlet because this is their signature dish - known for how big the cutlet is. And it did not disappoint! I ordered both the Half & Half Pork Cutlet, which comes with their classic donkatsu sauce and their spicy sauce, and their Cheese Pork Cutlet. Both the regular pork cutlet and the cheese pork cutlet were delicious. The cutlets were nice and crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I also tried their Cream Seafood Pasta and Spaghetti Bolognese. The cream pasta was my favorite out of the two. It had lots of shrimp and mussels, and the sauce was so creamy and flavorful. I'd definitely be back just for this pasta. I also loved the creative touch of the passport-themed placemat. It added to the experience and made it feel like you were taking a little culinary trip to Korea! Cute concept and good food!

    I love this place! The ambiance is always soft and subtitle inside. The service and staff is always amazing and attentive. I usually come here for lunch and order a Pork Katsu plate. The spicy katsu can be on the spicy side (78/10 spice level). I love the soup they provide in the beginning because it's usually cold inside the restaurant. The serving sizes are great and I will always come back!

    Try combo if you cant decide on the sauce but I like the spicy one better

    Not a fan of noodle in general so I enjoyed the katsu so much more than the noodle. My friends who like the noodles loved it though

    Lasung refers to a traditional dish or a character trait. "Hello, my name is Ron W. and I am an addict. I would slow dance on glowing coals to eat a proper Donkatsu (Breaded Pork Cutlet). I'm here to share as I've been clean and satiated for one day". This square spotless box turns out a version worthy enough to support an LA support group (Donkatsu Anonymous). The surrounding neighborhood is kinda funky but you have a better chance of getting bonked on the head in Beverly Hills for sporting a Roberto Cavalli purse or a Rollie Yacht Master. Park in the tiny lot and figure out how to maneuver out later. The Decor: Full Tech. Headsets for Servers to pass orders to the busy kitchen, a bolted down computer monitor to poke pictures of what you want or if you ask politely you can have a laminated geezer Menu to peruse. The dining room feels like a surgical suite because it's as clean as one. Concrete flooring and faux marble tables insure the K-Pop loop will bounce around the space like a racquetball. The vibe is a Donkatsu factory cranking out mega Cutlets the size of a truck tire. Staff: 2nd and 3rd generations of K-kids, all friendly, helpful and eager to please as your new puppy. Quick as crystal, food begins to appear moments after you've ordered. What's to eat? America's favorite flavor is crispy and the Donkatsu here qualifies. They use fresh Asian style Panko with jagged larger shards than massed produced breadcrumbs, ergo, the crust is very crunchy as it should be. Your Server will bring a carafe full of Ice Water before running to the kitchen and returning with a cup of Cream of Corn Soup. It was interesting. Not very Corny as much as Roux-y, but either way I defy you not to finish it. Next out is a modest Banchan offering (a traditional bottomless tasting of pickled this and that). Here, it was three items, Spicy Persian Cucumbers in a Gochujang Siracha Sauce that had crunch and an easy twang of heat, pickled half moons of Daikon, and in third place some pickled Jalapenos with enough heat to put you in a braced attention. Nibble on all that for a few minutes as the Donkatsu is not far behind. The dinner plates and their cargo are so substantial they can only be carried one at time. I looked up from my Chopsticks vice griping a Daikon and witnessed a monster Cutlet wending its way to my table. That thing would be more than Godzilla could eat. "Did you invite your entire family to join us?" I asked the Server. "Of course they are all welcome and if they all showed up there would still be plenty of left overs to take home". At this point its time to talk Donkatsu, but before we do, there are side dishes that accompany each Cutlet. A mound of White Rice for mopping up the Sauces (Spicy, Regular and Curry or all three at the same time), a shredded Cabbage Salad with islandless Thousand Island Dressing, and a large spoon of delicious delicate Mac 'n Cheese. Mini Elbows with a light cheesy Sauce and a sprinkle of Corn Kernels that may have escaped from the Soup. No matter, it was wonderful. The pasta was dispatched as if I was challenging Joey Chestnut. A first look at the size of the Cutlet made me think this was a Squid Game I might not survive. This is a thin Donkatsu for maximum crunch. You can find 1 1/2 inch thick Cutlets but not here where actual size matters. The meat is tender once you saw through the edges. You want porky chew in every bite, order the Rose Cutlet which is more fatty creating extra tenderness and taste. Does the Cutlet here equal the pillow sized beast which flops over the huge plate at all four compass points? Arguably, Lasung's Cutlet does. Should Lasung make a Cutlet with a spritz of Lemon Juice, a tablespoon of Capers, several crosses of Anchovy Filets and half a dozen Fried Eggs on top? Absolutely, of course they should as Seoul is only 6,129 miles from Vienna. All things considered this place is well Lasung.

    HUGE portions, great for sharing! Parking was not atrocious considering it is in the heart of Koreatown. Comes with free corn soup.

    Cute little restaurant down the street from their mother restaurant Lasung Tofu. Went for their famous cutlet but of course had to add on the rose spaghetti because why not. Ordered the chicken cutlet (choice of pork or chicken). You can also choose between the classic sauce vs spicy. You can also request for half and half to try them both. Honestly I did prefer the classic sauce. The spicy one was a bit spicy for my palate. Overall 3.5 out of 5 for me. But their portions were huge. Can literally feed 2-3 adult women. The rose spaghetti was pretty good. I am biased over rosé flavored anything. I would recommend you order this. Also saw a few tables ordering the Korean cold noodles. It looks super delicious. And it was humongous in portion. Will definitely be coming back over this summer to try it. Overall good Korean comfort food. Casual dining and fast service.

    I just love Lasung House! It's a great option when I want to be guaranteed a walk-in table and a delicious meal with leftovers. They have a small parking lot that is a bit hard to maneuver but having a tiny lot in Koreatown is always helpful. Staff is always so nice & attentive here, on top of everything. I've been here a few times now and have loved everything I've tried. I love that they start you with Korean cream soup. It's so simple and one of my favorite things. The Rose Pork Cutlet ($23 , add cheese for $2 more) is quite spicy but in a good way if you can handle heat. My personal favorite item though to order is the Fish Cutlet ($20). Like with all the portions here, it's huge providing tons of leftovers. The taste is just perfect, crisp on the outside with a flavorful and plump interior. Very solid dishes all around at Lasung House that keep me coming back. Their Sikhye Slush ($6) is a nice meal finisher! One small note, their hours say they are open until 930pm but we once went in at 855pm and they wouldn't seat us. So~~~~closing times don't seem to correspond to last seating times.

    Dine LA deal for $25 is a good deal. Giant cutlet, jumbo shrimp, pasta, and etc. Flavors were solid. Quality was good. Overall would recommend eating here.

    Soup
    Brian T.

    Came for the Dine LA deal and it was lots of food for $25 per person! Good amount of space in the restaurant and was seated quickly at 3 pm. The deal includes a creamy soup. A refreshing Shikhye drink that is not too sweet. The spicy rose spaghetti was creamy but has a strong kick. Beware if you are not used to spicy. The crispy pork cutlet was thin and crispy but a bit hard and dry. The curry sauce was very tasty and one of my favorite. Option to get that spicy as well. The chicken cutlet was better and wasn't too dry. Great deal but have had better katsu before. The curry, I would come back to. Got lucky with street parking here.

    What an absolute treat!!! I've already planned to come back again hahaha. My friend and I decided to come and try their dine-la menu for 25$ and we left with our bellies and hearts full. Some of these restaurants like to skimp out and serve half portions or even less during dine la but for LaSung House this couldn't be further from that. For 25$ you get to choose between a large portion of pork or chicken cutlet with rice, salad, and macaroni on the side. It doesn't stop there....you also get to choose between spicy noodles or spicy rose pasta. But wait...there's more! You also can pick between two of their sweet rice drinks and also served with a complementary soup + banchan. I mean can you even believe it?!?! In this day and economy???? Furthermore everything was absolutely DELICIOUS. The pork cutlet came out so quick and was sooooo crunchy and moist. Goodness!! Pairing that with the curry sauce I was almost brought to tears at how much flavor was going on. The rose pasta was simply delicious and delivered such a nice kick!!! Truly spicy which I adored. The cold noodles did not disappoint as well but I did prefer the rose pasta. The cool myself down, the refreshing rice drink was heaven in my mouth along with the creamy soup. Overall we were absolutely satisfied and stuffed!! I can't wait to come back again. There's also a little parking space right next to the establishment. Final Verdict: Porkfection!!!! ;)

    Korean comfort food as advertised! But the cool thing is that the comfort food they offer is pretty much universal. Who wouldn't want a beautiful giant piece of crispy boneless chicken with nice fluffy steaming white rice?! The Fried Shrimp works with the rice too. You could use the curry sauce or not, but it just adds to the warmth in your tummy and chest when you eat a bite full with a little bit of everything. The potato soup is delicious and filling! Really, if you wanted a light lunch, the soup will do all by itself. There was no line to get in and we were seated at an empty table right away. You put your order in the monitor set right there on your own table. They offer frozen versions of the breaded meats. I doubt my frying skills will be as good as theirs, but if you want to have back up food in your freezer in case of an emergency, they have it available!

    Seafood Pasta
    Grace L.

    This place has the biggest cutlet in town!!!! I came across this restaurant online, and people were raving about its gigantic cutlets. As a foodie, I decided to check it out myself and make my own judgment. It did not disappoint! The chicken cutlet was about the size of two palms, and the pork cutlet was even bigger. OMG! I definitely couldn't finish either one. The cutlet was crunchy, and the meat was tender. Loved it--definitely a signature dish. I also tried the seafood pasta, and to be honest, the seafood was on the stingy side. There were only about six pieces, and I don't think it offers the best value--especially since one of the mussels had only the shell, with no meat inside. The ragù pasta had a slight kick to it, which added some nice flavor. It's still enjoyable even if you can't handle spicy food. Did I mention the corn soup that came before the entrée? It's the bomb! I'm addicted to this creamy soup. I would totally order a big bowl of it and eat it as a meal on its own. Don't forget to try their rice punch as a dessert drink. The regular rice punch is sweeter, while the pumpkin rice punch was a bit bland in comparison. The staff here was friendly, and parking was easy since they have their own parking lot. I would definitely come back for the corn soup and those gigantic cutlets.

    Rose pork cutlet, original Pork Cutlet
    Isabel B.

    Lasung House is one of those spots that surprises you in the best way. The pork cutlet is so good: perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, and clearly made with care. The rose pork cutlet is a standout too, rich, creamy, and perfectly spicy without overpowering the dish. And don't sleep on the curry sauce... it's absolutely awesome, deep, savory, and ties everything together beautifully. If you're craving comfort food with bold flavors and generous portions, this place delivers. I came for tofu house vibes and left thinking about that pork cutlet. Definitely coming back. Service was great too!

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.

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.

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.

    My second visit since May 2026. This time in town for BTS concert I wanted to try gopchang since it…read moreis part of the restaurant's name. You can't order it as an add-on, so I'm glad that my friends were willing to try it too. We did know that it is beef intestines. I personally like beef and pork intestines I thought it was grilled well. My friends liked it enough to eat it, but I don't think they'll order it again. In fact, I'm pretty sure they won't order it again. Our server Douglas was super nice and helpful. He knew it was our first time ordering gopchang. We almost added the beef brisket, but then when he started to make fried rice we knew we would be too full to eat more. The Banchan, Kimchi Stew and Steamed Egg, were excellent and we really did enjoy our dining experience and being served by Douglas. He said 99% of today's customers were Army. We did have an hour wait which was what we were told, but it was worth it. Oh and the welcome for BTS Armies was touching. They had cold iced water and refreshments while we waited.

    We came here with our family after the BTS concert because we heard this place was endorsed by the…read moregroup, so we were really excited to try it. Unfortunately, the experience was a huge disappointment. We ordered the marinated combo with intestine, bulgogi, beef belly, and pork, but the food was just okay and definitely didn't live up to our expectations. What made the experience worse was our server. He was rude, unprofessional, and seemed completely uninterested in helping us. Whenever we asked questions, he acted annoyed and made us feel like we were bothering him. He would even walk past our table without acknowledging us when we needed assistance. We came in excited to enjoy a nice family meal, but unfortunately, the food and especially the service left us very disappointed. We definitely won't be coming back.
