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. read more

I really like the vibe of this restaurant--the interior is clean, modern, and very well put together. They also use a tablet system for ordering, which makes things convenient, and you can call the server if needed. Service was okay overall. The food is consistently good. My husband and I have been here a handful of times, and we usually always order the pork cutlet. It's juicy, the sauce is flavorful, and it comes with rice, macaroni salad, cabbage and side dishes--overall very good value for the price. We'll definitely keep coming back. read more

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. read more

Solid Korean styled donkatsu! Got their half and half sauce (regular and spicy), as well as their buckwheat cold noodles. Solid Korean styled sauce and overall solid experience. They give soup before the food. For larger parties, need majority of party present to be seated. Order through iPad on each table. There's a small parking lot with limited spots; may need to street park. read more

Lasung House - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

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. read more

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!!!! ;) read more

Lasung House - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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! read more

Lasung House - Rose pork cutlet, original Pork Cutlet - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place has been on my try list for a while and my partner & I were sooooo happy and satisfied finally trying it!! The cutlet is indeed HUGE. definitely share between at least two people (although probably opt to buy an extra rice!) We ordered the pork cutlet (with shrimp) with the curry sauce on top and the mozzarella. My partner says the mozzarella is a must, super yummy, and I agree (but the cheese felt like a lot and super heavy for me at some points so maybe next time i'd go with a non cheese lover so i don't have to share a mozarella topped one). The pairing of the sauce and cheese on top of the cutlet paired together really well, and I feel like it was well cooked and yummy. Also, they torch the mozzarella on top which is fun! The shrimp was also well cooked -- glistening and juicy on the inside. It came with its own tartar sauce on top as well! The cream pasta with seafood was yummy, but not a show stopper to me if i'm honest. Maybe i'll order it again, idk, but i'm definitely coming back for the katsu. So delicious! Ordering off the tablet was super efficient, and the staff was kind. Definitely adding to my faves in ktown. :) read more

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. read more

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! read more

I love this place!! If you are looking for a yummy, affordable, and filling meal, this is the perfect spot! La Sung has a very chill atmosphere, and I often crave it after coming home from a long trip/when I want something comforting. The portions are huge, in fact I think they have gotten bigger since my first visit. My boyfriend and I always split the pork cutlet with curry sauce on the side. The meal comes with rice, slaw, and Mac salad. Side dishes (free) include pickled radish, soup, kimchi, and onions with jalapeño. You order from a kiosk but the staff is very friendly. Love this place!!! Please try if you are in the area. read more

Lasung House - Pork Cutlet - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Super simple dishes yet packed with so much flavor! Lasung House (not to be confused with Lasung Tofu) specializes in chicken and port cutlets. As seen in the pictures, they are absolutely huge and can definitely feed two people. I came with a friend for lunch on Saturday and we were seated immediately. The restaurant was actually full and we got the last remaining table. We ordered the original pork cutlet with cheese and a spicy cold buckwheat noodle dish. We thought that these two dishes paired really well with each other, since the tonkatsu feels a lot heavier. I was super happy with the dishes we got and they were both absolutely delicious and filling. They have a new rosé menu too that I actually really wanna try next time! The decor of the restaurant is minimalist with decorations and pictures of LA. Overall, good vibes and good service. As a minor side note, they had an option on the ordering tablet to scan a QR code to place an order for Rok matcha in advance but the QR codes don't seem to be working! (edit - it's working!!) read more

I got the Cheese Pork Cutlet! The portion is SO HUGE. It is definitely more than enough to share between two people. We ordered via tablet and the waiter kindly brought the food + torched the cheese table side for us! The katsu itself is a light crispiness with minimal batter, but WOW! They do put a lot of sauce. It's a sweet and tangy katsu sauce, which I found very satisfying. But after a while, the sauce did cause the katsu to get a little soggy. If you eat slow, you may want the sauce on the side! I also loved the complimentary cream soup! :D read more

Happy to say, Lasung is worth the hype!! I went on Saturday at 11:15am and was seated promptly. They do seem to have a small parking lot which is always a plus in Ktown. The interior is bright and spacious. Each table was a self ordering monitor. The menu wasn't too extensive either. I got the spicy pork cutlet. Initially I was concerned that it'd be too spicy but it wasn't! The sauce does have a bit of a kick but it was very good. The meal comes with some ban chans like pickled radish (danmuji), spicy radish (kkakdugi), and jalapeños. It also had a very tasty cream soup. Yes, the cutlets are MASSIVE! I was really impressed that the cutlets were not only crispy, but still tender inside. I feel like when most places who try to make the giant cutlets, the cutlets end up way overcooked and hard. The cutlet comes on a plate with rice, salad, and macaroni. All delicious! I had leftovers for dinner :) read more

This place has some of the most satisfying pork cutlets, and you can request the sauce on the side so it stays perfectly crispy. They also have jjolmyeon and udon if you're not in the mood for pork cutlet. The jjolmyeon portion is pretty big--most adults can't finish it, so it's perfect for sharing if you still want to try it. Just a note: the spicy sauce for the pork cutlet is definitely too spicy for kids. Parking-wise, there's a lot right next to the restaurant, but it's usually reserved, so you'll likely need to find street parking read more

Wow, wow, and wow. We absolutely love Lasung House. Staff is amazing and the space is great. We ordered the Cheese pork, Omelette rice, and a side of curry sauce. plenty to feed three of us and have leftovers. The pork cutlet was super crispy and flaky with a tender interior. It had amazing flavor with the sauce and just the right amount of cheese. The omelette was fluffy with delicious fried rice underneath. And that curry sauce is one of the best I've had in LA read more

Huge serving! Was nearby (my salon is next door) and this was recommended by my stylist so me and my son went here a couple of Saturdays ago - we arrived past 2:30 so there were seats available. You get seated and you order from the screen, the servers come with water and side dishes. My stylist suggested to get 1 cutlet and 1 noodle. We ordered the spicy pork cutlet (so big - can definitely feed 2) and the udon noodles. The sauce on the cutlet was definitely spicy - my son wanted it but if it were me I would've gotten the regular option. Soup and udon was good but wasn't that memorable. Good price if you're looking for value. The space looks new - it was my first time here so not sure if they're new or newly renovated. Love the high ceiling and the murals, it's a good place to meet up not sure though how busy it gets but they have a waitlist by the door so if you go at a busy time you probably can't stay too long. read more

My first time visiting was on April 20, 2024, and went there again for the second time was Friday evening, October 24. When I went last year in April, the restaurant had just opened, so it was quite busy, and we had to wait to get a table. But when I went this past Friday evening, we were seated right away. Last year, I had the regular pork cutlet, but this time I tried the snow cheese pork cutlet -- both were delicious. The portions here are huge, the food is tasty, and the staff are very friendly, which I really like. Especially the soup they serve as a complimentary appetizer for all customers -- it's so good that I always ask for a refill and end up having it twice. This place is delicious and friendly, but the food can feel a bit heavy after eating. And, parking lot is very small. read more

I was staying in the area temporarily and Lasung was across the street. I figured that since I'm in Ktown I might as well try it out. I came in outside of the lunch rush so I was seated pretty quickly. I ordered the Pork Cutlet Half & Half ($19.99), which also came with a small bowl of creamy soup. The portions are MASSIVE. You could definitely split a plate between 2 people, and I ended up taking half of it home with me for a whole second meal. Both the spicy and the regular curry were great and I honestly don't think that I prefer one over the other. And for it being my first time here it was good to be able to try both flavors in the same visit. Service was pretty quick. They are on top of getting you everything that you needed in order to keep the tables moving in and out. Anything that I requested, they brought out pretty quickly, and my food came out at a decent time as well. I can definitely see this place getting pretty loud when it's crowded but while I was there most of what I could hear was just the music through the speakers. If I'm in the area I would definitely come back again. The pork cutlet was just so delicious and for $20 you get a lot of it. I saw that they did DineLA last month so I'll have to keep an eye out for it the next time that comes around and maybe I'll be able to try more of the items on their menu. read more

Came here for DINELA. You order through a tablet. The DINELA options were selected cutlet, selected noodles, and sikhye. Huge portions! Couldn't finish the cutlets and the noodles. The noodle options were all spicy unfortunately and when they say spicy, they mean it! We ordered the milder spiced one and that was spicy as it builds up. Tried the pumpkin sikhye and I'd say stick with the regular sikhye. I don't think the pumpkin flavor elevated the traditional drink and rather was disappointing in flavor. read more

Came here last night for their Dine LA menu. It is an extremely good deal (ends this Friday) and for $25, you can get a large pork or chicken katsu and a jumbo shrimp with a scoop of rice, macaroni salad, cabbage salad, cream soup, and a shikhye slushie (traditional sweet rice drink). But wait, there's more! You also get a choice of rose pasta or Korean spicy cold noodles. I opted to get the pork katsu with the shrimp and spicy rose pasta. I chose to get half and half sauce on the side (half regular/half spicy) for an extra dollar and it was a little sad that I couldn't pick which half sauces I wanted because there are actually four sauces---regular, spicy, curry, rose so my friend and I ended up splitting an extra side of curry. Portions are huge! So down to the specifics, it wasn't crazy busy when we went around 7pm on a Sunday and we didn't have to wait too long as their were a couple open tables. There was only 2 servers I think though so we waited maybe five minutes to get seated. However, once seated, we were not greeted at all and a server never approached our table. I'm assuming because they have ipads to order at every table but usually they still come to your table to greet you. We had a couple questions about the menu but was hard to get it answered (we only saw the button to call staff after we ordered so we were confused how to get anyone's attention). The first question was about the half and half sauce so I ended up trying to find the answer on Yelp (which I did). The other question that we had was the cheese. We saw the cheese was an extra $2 and wanted to add that to our Dine LA katsu but there was no option for it. We wanted to see if there was a way for the server to manually add that in (I get no substitutions, but they did have an option for different sauces for an extra upcharge so we wanted to ask) but after waiting a while to try to flag a server down, we gave up and just got it sans cheese. So disappointing since we saw other tables get that cheese torched at that table and it looked and smelled so good! Our server did forget about our side of curry sauce and we had to ask him a couple of times so our food got kind of cold waiting for it but at least the curry sauce itself was hot. I ate all my food and wanted to take the sauces home because there was so much left and my friend had a lot of food leftover so we were trying to ask for to go boxes on the ipad and our server Sam came up right at that moment like he telepathically knew and promptly gave us boxes, containers for sauces, and a plastic bag to put them all in. Dine LA deal: 11/10 Honestly, it's crazy to think about this deal and it is one of the best deals I've seen on Dine LA ever Pork Katsu with Jumbo Shrimp with half and half sauce: 8/10 The katsu itself is delicious, crunchy, and big. The shrimp was also clearly a jumbo shrimp and the tartar sauce that came with it was on point. The sauces were interesting----I figured it would be more of a Korean style katsu sauce which is kind of gravy like but it was almost like a tomato pasta sauce. Still good but definitely different. The spicy and regular were both great---similar in flavor profile but one is obviously spicy. It's not an unbearable spice and more like a kick. Cream soup, rice, cabbage salad, macaroni salad sides: 8/10 The cream soup came out first and is your usual Ottogi cream soup that they give out at katsu places in Korea and also I am obsessed with it. The rice is your rice and cabbage salad is your usual mixture of ketchup and mayo. The macaroni salad was a little less traditional when thinking about Korean katsu places and I'm not really sure how they made the sauce but they also added corn---that itself was not my favorite. Spicy Rose Pasta: 9/10 When the pasta came out, it was a decent portion but it was a little sad that the dish was lukewarm by the time it hit our table. Flavor wise was on point and I was very satisfied. Again, the spice is not unbearable and just a tiny kick but they also have a mild version if you're not into spice at all. Shikhye Slushie: 10/10 This drink was so on point that I couldn't stop drinking it. The slushie twist on the drink made it so refreshing. Literally obsessed. Service: 6/10 Maybe it was a fluke. Maybe it was a lot for the amount of servers on the floor. Maybe this is just how the restaurant operates. Our server, Sam, was still very nice and we liked him. Just wish someone would have at least greeted us and told us what to use the iPad for or ask if we had any questions before ordering. Seeing the button on the iPad to call a staff member would have been very helpful if we knew about it in the beginning so we could ask our questions or ask about our missing sauce immediately instead of looking around trying to flag someone down over and over. Ambience: 9/10 Bright and clean but the two top tables are a bit small. Overall, definitely a place I would revisit---and get the torched cheese on my katsu next time! read more

We came for the Dine LA special and it was a good deal for the amount of food we got. The chicken and pork tasted similar, but the chicken katsu was slightly bigger. We ordered the mild Rose Spaghetti and it was still pretty spicy. There was only a short wait of a few minutes when we went for Friday dinner. We got placed at the smaller table and it was very difficult to eat with the lack of space. It took us a little bit to find street parking. ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Walked to this restaurant to try out the Dine LA menu on a Tuesday night. There weren't many people in the restaurant so we got seated quickly and staff was attentive. The restaurant was quiet and bright with the menu on the walls as well. We got to try the pumpkin and regular shikye (rice drink), chicken and pork katsu, and the cold noodles. Overall the flavors of everything were quite overwhelming and were difficult to eat a lot of. I think the katsu sauce is tomato based so it was a strange flavor (I'm guessing the non spicy version would've been more appetizing). Overall not a bad experience but I don't anticipate coming back. read more

A late review, since we came during Dine LA; we actually wanted to try Lasung Tofu, but it was such a crazy wait and we didn't want to wait hours, so we walked over here instead. And, it was pretty good. Service was ok, restaurant vibe was also ok, but the value for the menu was great. Also, we enjoyed the food. The portions, even for Dine LA, were huge.

Really great place located in Koreatown. We came here because we were in a bit of a rush because 2 of the restaurants that we walked to took cash only and we did not have any cash. I must say, it definitely was a good surprise coming upon this place! The portions were absolutely massive and I really enjoyed the fact that you order from a tablet at the table. We got the omelette rice and the pork curry. I thought that the omlette rice was good, a bit sweet for my taste, and the curry was great. They also come out with a cream soup before your meal so that is really nice. The restaurant was also very clean and the ambiance was really nice! Overall, I would recommend coming here!

This place exceeded my expectations with all the katsu sauces and flavors. My personal favorite is the spicy tonkatsu sauce or the curry sauce with the katsu. The katsus are so big and shareable. Our personal favorite was also the cream seafood pasta as it was so flavorful and had perfectly cooked noodles with a good amount of seafood. You could even take some home as they have frozen tonkatsus to cook at home. Parking is a little hard as the lot is small however they have a few spots/streets nearby to park at. read more

My partner and I went to Lasung House when they had their DineLA deal so all of this was $25 each! The service was good and nice since they also had tablets at the tables and a notify staff button if you have questions or concerns! The ambiance was pretty loud since so many people were in! Cream soup: basic cream soup. Nothing too fancy! Pork and Shrimp Cutlet: the curry/sauce provided was a nice tangy and spicy kick of flavor to dip the pork in! The shrimp was HUGE and had a nice pairing with the tartar sauce! The Mac and lettuce was a nice balance to eat with the meal! Cold wheat noodles: nice and refreshing taste after eating the tonkatsu!

I'm so happy that a friend recommended this spot to me! We met up for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and were promptly seated, though the restaurant filled up soon after we arrived. We ordered the Pork Katsu Cutlet with cheese (extra charge) and Rose Spaghetti to share. I was extremely impressed with the portion sizes given how reasonably priced their menu items are! The katsu was larger than my face and was more than enough for the two of us. I loved how crispy the cutlet was, even under the melted cheese and curry sauce. I wished they had given us more macaroni salad and cabbage slaw since they were both tasty, but hey, at least you know you're getting a protein-rich meal. I'm an avid spice enthusiast and enjoy lighting my taste buds on fire, and the Rose Spaghetti did not disappoint. It packed in just the right level of heat without making me regret my life choices too much, which is ideal. The complimentary corn soup and pickled veggies they provided were a nice touch and good palate cleanser. I'm sold on the food, and the service was both efficient and welcoming. Parking isn't too bad for Ktown, as they have their own [small] lot in addition to street parking around the neighborhood. It made me happy to see how busy this place was, and I can't wait to dine here again. read more

Lasung House - Katsu Cutlet with cheese, Rose Spaghetti. Both delicious and flavorful - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Now I understand why people love this restaurant: the batter is CRISPY and FLAKY, the portions are GENEROUS, and the prices are affordable. Coincidentally, the DineLA deal was still available, so I ordered the Jumbo Black Tiger Shrimp and Pork Cutlet Set, Spaghetti Bolognese, and Watermelon Shikhye (rice punch). The jumbo-sized katsu and two shrimp were more than enough to fill me up. However, the deal included the spaghetti, and I was practically trying to take in every bite to finish. Along with the cutlet, they serve a flavorful Korean-style dipping sauce, sweet and runny. One downside: the parking situation. Their limited lot requires multiple three-point turns to exit, and it feels like a hit-and-run waiting to happen. Just saying. If you can, look for street parking nearby instead. read more

Never in my life had I had such HUGE portions at an incredible price! Lasung House is known for their Korean curries and ramen. We ordered their signature Pork Cutlet and Udon Noodles to share. It came with a side of Creamy Corn Soup, sooooo delicious! I loved how they give you the option to add sauce on top or on the side. The plate is HUGE, so beware and COME HUNGRY! The spacious is aesthetic and retro, pretty small. I was able to avoid the long lines by coming at an early hour for lunch! The staff were top notch and checked with us attentively. I had a lovely experience here and recommend this place, if you have not already been! read more

This might be one of my new favorite spots in Koreatown. As soon as I walked in, the server greeted me warmly and made me feel comfortable right away. I told him it was my first time and asked for a recommendation, and he suggested the seafood pasta, saying I'd love it. While waiting for my order, he brought out a complimentary soup, which honestly made my day. It was simple but so good--kind of like a lighter clam chowder. I didn't even ask for it, which made the gesture even better. When the main dish arrived, it was perfection. The seafood pasta was flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. The portion size was also just right for one person. Overall, great food and even better service. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu! read more

Went for Dine LA and this deal was amazing! It came with pork katsu, noodles, sikhye, and a side of soup for $25. The katsu didn't have a lot of breading which made it easy to eat. The noodles are a bit spicy but they're really tasty and refreshing. I enjoyed the side of corn soup that they gave and the watermelon sikhye was a very refreshing touch. I'll have to come back to try other items in their menu! read more

Good food for the value! We ordered the spicy pork cutlet with the sauce on the side and the seafood pasta! Everything came with small sides and cream soup. Portions are large enough to share, we didnt finish everything! Service and ordering all done on the ipad which is super convenient. The servers checked up on us and I would highly recommend eating her. read more
