    Breakfast Burrito with brisket
    Lisa W.

    My coworker brought me here and it did not disappoint. Hands down one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. The vibe was super chill. They seem to know the customers by name very personable. I'm a forever customer.

    Longaniza and Chicken breakfast burritos. Strawberry matcha and Vanilla blended coffee.

    Found this place while walking around the area and decided to try. Amazing food the breakfast burrito was great, the crispy tots added a nice crunch and the spicy aioli complemented it nicely. I got a strawberry matcha which was 5 dollars and it was one of the best I have had around LA. The matcha flavor was strong and it was not overly sweet. Best of all it was a great size for the price (about 20 ounces). The ambiance was super friendly and welcoming and the inside is so pretty and community oriented. Will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu!

    100% please support this business!!! We witnessed something so heartwarming when me and my friends went... someone came in without enough money, and without hesitation the staff made sure they were fed, no questions asked. Their generosity really says something about their restaurant and you'd really want to support these kind of businesses!! They've only been open for 3 years, but they already feel like a place worth supporting over and over again. I haven't tried their full menu yet, but their matcha is amazing, they had oat and almond milk(no extra charge for sub). My friend ordered the burrito and rated it a solid 10/10!! Parking can be tricky, but we were lucky we got meter parking. They have small bar table situation inside, and good amount of table outside. I'm so happy this cute little place was recommended and I'll definitely be back to try the food for myself. Businesses like this truly deserve all the support. (:

    Everything from start to finish was so delicious. A good portion of food is served, worth every dollar. Service was fast, especially during our lunch hour . They had a nice corner where you ca sit outside by the street . Definitely will be coming back

    Breakfast Burrito w/ Brisket
    Jono M.

    I am impatiently waiting to go back to Milpa from the moment I left. Not only because there was so much on the menu that sparked curiosity--their dishes are supremely delicious. The breakfast burrito had been highly recommended to me and it was phenomenal but what really stole the show for me were the breakfast tacos. I enjoyed the very last bite of them just as much as the first, something that is rarely found. Be sure to visit if you are looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a solid meal with someone you love or solo. The team here is on their sh-- and know what they're doing. Like I said, I'm counting down the days until I return. 10/10

    Pork belly breakfast Burrito
    Marilyn M.

    I currently have a birria and pork belly breakfast burrito addiction. I have been going every wknd, worth the walk. The burritos are delicious with the aioli sauce, really brings the burrito flavors together. It's busy during the wknds, compare to the week there is seating inside and out. Love the outdoor area, as it is very chill. Will def continue coming.

    Pozole tostadita
    Angelica L.

    Just visited Milpa and ordered the pozole to go and wow. It tastes so delicious the flavor is so good, the chunks of meat are cut perfectly into squares its nice and tender. I like how they give you all the sides you need to enjoy your pozole. The tostadas taste nice and fresh and the chile de aceite is very spicy. Enjoying this pozole and can't wait to go back and try the strawberry matcha and other delicious foods they have.

    Tasted nasty and gross!

    I came to this place to try the brisket breakfast burrito. My friend saw the lady who was preparing the food. She got distracted by one of the workers and dropped a towel on the floor. Instead of discarding the dirty towel, she picked it back up and wiped the counter where the food is being prepared. She put our tortilla's on top of the counter and continued preparing our food. The burrito had the plastic chemical taste and GROSS . Horrible integrity and courtesy from the employee. I will never go back to this place. Train your workers properly!!! Do better! You deserve zero stars!

    I've been waiting all my life and searching high and low for the most flavorful, sweet cinnamon and orange aroma infused cafe de olla in Los Angeles...and guess what? I found it here at Milpa! (Silence because I'm savoring my cup of cafe de olla) Consider this my shortest and sweetest review yet.

    Brisket and Birria breakfast tacos
    Eric A.

    great service with a smile. parking can be a bit tight on weekends. the outdoor patio seating is enjoyable if there isn't too much commotion or traffic. if you like fluffy tortillas you'll enjoy the tacos. the birria was definitely the winner in terms of meat choices for me. the pickled onions were a bit sweet and our mint drink was good but also a bit heavy on the sugar for me personally. i've had the birria breakfast burrito before and really enjoyed that too. will def return and change up the order next time.

    Rosa R.

    In the mood for breakfast burrito - I heard this is the place to be! We ordered the pork belly and longaniza burritos and one taco - deliciousness! Love the salsa, definitely homemade and the agua fresca The service is outstanding and I appreciate the variety of coffee options. Looking forward to coming back and trying more on their menu!

    my $20 lunch special turned into like 4 meals. GREAT value…read more i was craving korean home-style cooking and found this place. it's got affordable lunch specials under $20. i was really surprised at just how much food i received for just $20... giant plate of sizzinging. perfectly seasoned pork ribs & onions with a really nice char. a big cup of rice, a really great banchan spread with lots of variety, and a massive bowl of broth with such a great mild flavor to balance the spicy banchan and rich pork. it was phenomenal, cured my tummy ache, and immediately took me back to my trip to korea many years ago. i inhaled everything but there was so much food i ended up with a big takeout bag. i kid you not this one $20 meal has turned into like 4 meals for me. pork turned into lettuce wraps, rice fried and mixed with eggs , broth used to elevate a cheap ramen. i WILL be back. i wish i could have bought some of the banchan as an extra charge or something so i could take it home with me because im STILL dreaming of it. the inside has good a/c and a cute homely atmosphere. and the staff was incredibly kind and helped me choose what to eat and helped me pack up the broth once i was done eating. you can see the giant goblet of boiling broth in the kitchen as you eat. easy parking behind the restaurant and in the street.

    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.

    I've clearly been sleeping on this place. Finally went with some friends visiting from out of town,…read moreand Hangari Kalguksu did not disappoint -- I see why it's a Ktown staple. 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 service is attentive, even when busy. We arrived shortly after they opened at 10 AM, and by 11:30 AM, there was a line outside. This place truly delivers! We ordered two popular dishes, including the Chicken Kalguksu (knife-cut noodles with chicken, squash, kabocha, potato, and dates in chicken and anchovy broth) and the Hangari Bossam (medium, boiled and tender pork belly with cabbage leaves and kimchi). 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!

We also added beef brisket since my friend wasn't a big fan of cartilage - more for me! The pot itself wasn't too deep, though there was a good portion of protein cartilage. Also important to note that rice was NOT included! The brisket add on came as a pre-cooked brisket that was added in after, as it didn't initially fit in the pot. The staff member told us at the time that broth refills were free. However, when it came time for refills, they said it was only one time - poor communication. Paying was fairly straightforward, but for future visits, I'd likely just come for their lunch special sullongtang after this experience.
