    Chicken bowl and brown rice
    Richard O.

    It's a good fast casual restaurant. I liked my chicken bowl but it's not as good as other reviews described. They do have brown rice.

    Spicy Pork Bulgogi Bowl
    Cherise W.

    Located in the food mall downtown. So it's get your food and find a seat. Service was perfect. Friendly staff. Food was ready quick and was hot. Cucumbers were crispy and had a sesame flavor. The spicy pork was good as well. Would come back

    Bulgogi Bowl
    Alan N.

    This is located in the food court near the Target on Figat. I tried both their galbi and bulgogi bowls and both were great alone or when paired with their soy sauce. Note that during weekday lunch hours the line can get really long. The staff is nice and there is plenty of seating in the food court.

    Bulgogi with noodles
    Monica H.

    This is a quick service counter restaurant located within the Fig at 7 food court on the bottom level. The menu is simple. Choose a protein and rice, noodles, etc., sauce, and optional add ons. I ordered the bulgogi with udon noodles and it came with a decent portion of meat and noodles with a bit of vegetables. The meat and noodles were packed separately but in the same container which was pretty neat. I felt the noodles were oily so the overall meal was a bit heavy. I visited during lunch and received my order quickly. I was annoyed at the ordering process because I stood inside the stanchion area where the sign says form line here but the cashier chose to receive orders from people who started forming the line outside the stanchion after I was waiting in line. The cashier saw me waiting there but she didn't acknowledge or call me to take my order so I asked her where the line was. To my surprise she said the line was outside the stanchion area. She didn't offer to take my order next so I had to go to the back of whatever line she was taking orders from. That's terrible customer service. It wasn't busy and the ordering process was already this unorganized.

    Bulgogi and noodles

    As a big fan of Parks BBQ I had high hopes for their fast food shop Oleego. I have to say that I was not disappointed. I love their containers which separates the protein (Galbi, Bulgogi, Salmon, Spicy Pork bulgogi, Chicken bulgogi, Shrimp, Tofu, Bibimbap) from the base ( White Rice, Brown Rice, Egg Fried Rice, Kimchi Fried Rice, Noodles, Mixed Greens) allowing you to mix as desired. I ordered the Bulgogi and noodles for $9. The beef was authentic and delicious. The noodles were ok, more like an udon noodle then I was expecting plus they were a little sticky but other than that it was a great quick lunch. I also opted for a side of white rice (always have to have rice with Korean BBQ) and one banchan (japchae). The Japchae was fine, flavorful, well-cooked - the perfect addition to my meal. With the side, banchan and a drink it came to just under $15 but still not a bad price for lunch in downtown LA.

    Their Salmon Bowl with a side of kimchi. The salmon was good with the oleego hot sauce & kimchi but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary
    Tiffany D.

    Came here for lunch during my break from work twice already. I love that they're offered through the Ritual app which is a work perk at my current company. My only complaint is I wish they offered sides on the ritual app so I can add side dishes to my order rather than paying in person when I get there. Please note this place is tucked away in the food court of Fig & 7th so don't expect it to be exactly the same as what you'd get at Park's BBQ. Regardless if you're craving korean or KBBQ, this place hit the spot! Of all the options in the food court, it's my personal favorite. I recommend finding parking specifically at Fig & 7th Here's what I ordered: 1. Create Your Own Bibimbap Bowl with Beef: HIGHLY recommended. I read other reviews saying Oleego doesn't offer Banchan (side dishes) like other places so I mistakenly ordered a side of kimchi, cucumber & bean sprout which cost $1.50 each! So keep in mind, you probably don't need the extra sides I added to my order since the bibimbap did come with carrots, cucumber & bean sprouts. If I order again, I would just stick to the bibimbap as is & get a kimchi on the side because their kimchi is off the chain! 2. Salmon Bowl with side of kimchi: it was ok for what you get but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. If you're craving salmon or just looking to eat fish, it is still decent quality, especially paired with the Oleego hot sauce & kimchi. Overall, I would definitely come back here on a future lunch break to try their other dishes.

    My go-to place for a simple and quick lunch at 7th & Fig food court tucked in the heart of busy DTLA. Gotta love the shrimp with green salad and spicy soy or spicy pork bulgogi with steam rice and spicy soy. Quick, fast and satisfyingly good!

We ordered two combo plates at $35 each -- well worth every penny. We upgraded to the lean brisket for an extra $2 and added pork ribs for $3 more per plate, and the result was a tray piled high with some of the best BBQ in the city. Sides included mac and cheese, baked beans, and coleslaw, with both regular and spicy BBQ sauce on the side and sweet tea to wash it all down. The lean brisket was an absolute standout -- tender, juicy, and bursting with deep smoky flavor. The pork ribs were equally impressive, smoky and fall-off-the-bone tender with a gorgeous bark on the outside. The mac and cheese was honestly some of the best I've ever had -- rich, creamy, and comfort food at its absolute peak. The baked beans were packed with flavor and loaded with chunks of pork that made them feel like a meal on their own. The coleslaw was a perfect palate cleanser -- delicate, fresh, and not overly sweet, exactly how it should be done. The one minor letdown was the hot link sausage -- it was juicy but lacked the bold flavor you'd expect, and the skin was a bit tougher than it should have been. A small miss in an otherwise outstanding meal, and not enough to take anything away from the overall experience. The atmosphere was electric -- lively and loud in the best way, packed with energy and wall-to-wall televisions. We happened to go during the FIFA World Cup Final and the place was absolutely hopping. Our waiter was extraordinarily attentive and friendly, and the food came out quickly and piping hot despite how busy it was. Bludso's is the real deal. If you're serious about BBQ in LA, this is your spot. Get the brisket, get the ribs, and don't skip the mac and cheese.

Back in the day, you had to get there early because the place STAYED PACKED, and their ribs were THEE reason to go. They were hands down some of the best ribs I ever had as a kid. They put me on. Fast forward 15-20 years later, and today was my first time coming back since my teenage years. I tried calling ahead to place an order, but couldn't get through. Honestly, that didn't surprise me because Woody's was always busy. I figured it was still the same old Woody's. Then I pulled into the parking lot around 6 PM on a Thursday. Immediately, there was parking available. That alone felt odd. No line. Plenty of parking. Not a single customer inside. That should have been my first sign. We ordered beef ribs, sliced brisket, mac and cheese, and dessert. They were out of the banana pudding, so we settled for peach cobbler. The total was around $50, which isn't bad for dinner for two. The excitement really started to hit when we got home and opened everything up. Unfortunately, that's when reality set in. The mac and cheese was terrible. Completely flavorless, watery, and mushy. The pasta was so overcooked it practically fell apart and blended together like baby food. It tasted old and had absolutely no seasoning or richness whatsoever. First and last time ordering that. Next was the brisket. The slices were gray, dry, and looked like they'd been sitting around for a while. I took one bite and immediately said, "Absolutely not." Another disappointment. But I wasn't too worried yet because I came for one thing: THE RIBS. The flavor was actually still there. The sauce and seasoning reminded me of the Woody's I remembered. BUT THE TEXTURE... A completely different story. The ribs weren't tender, weren't juicy, and definitely weren't falling off the bone. They were tough enough that I found myself working for every bite. At that point, the empty parking lot, empty dining room, and lack of lines made a lot more sense. By the end of the meal, I ended up rinsing the remaining ribs off so my dog could enjoy them as a chew toy. What hurts most isn't the bad meal--it's seeing what was once a legendary BBQ spot become a shadow of what it used to be. I almost wish I hadn't come back because it tarnished some really great childhood memories for me. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I also believe in being honest. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but based on this experience, Woody's is not the Woody's I remember, and unfortunately, I won't be returning. If it's any consolation, the cobbler was okay. But not worth going out of my way for.
