    Palm Tree Karaoke is fun. Always good times here. Great spot for a social gathering with friends, and they offer a great selection of songs so theres always something for everyone. Never disappoints!

    Hosted my friendsgiving here this year and it was an absolute blast! We got a standard room for 6 people with the soju and beer package. For our entree we ordered the bulgogi rice which was AMAZING. They also let us bring some of our own food due to some dietary restrictions in our party which was so kind. They offer tambourines too which is such a great add!! The package typically comes with 2 hours of karaoke but bc we had so much fun we added another hour. Jerry was our waiter and very nice as was the rest of the staff. If you're looking for something fun and different to do with a group this is the move! Only downside is the automatically applied gratuity which is kind of hefty. All in all - would come again!

    Perfect place for a late night out with amazing customer service. The rooms are clean and have great sound quality!

    Our private karaoke room was super spacious and clean!! The music selection was up to date and the service was fast. This is a great spot for small and large groups. The other karaoke places make you pay up front for a bunch of drinks, but here you can just order what you want. Our group of 3 enjoyed that very much! Will definitely be back next time we're in LA.

    The best!! Thank you!!

    Bill for fruit, 4 soju, 8 Korean beer, 2 hours
    Berenice V.

    Of all the karaoke places in K-town, please don't settle for this one. It's very clear they're trying to rebrand on Yelp given the influx of 5 star reviews in the last 5-6 months. My experience most closely aligned with the reviews dated before then. First of all, I tried to request a reservation and received a text message requesting my credit card info via text to confirm my reservation. I am very cautious about my card info and opted to walk in instead. When my group and I arrived, we were quickly ushered into a room. I thought this was great given we didn't have a reservation. That's where the positive review ends. We were told we had to buy a package and were walked to the room without being handed a menu or an explanation of our options. Once we were in our room, a server came in and asked what flavor soju we wanted. We answered, he said he'd bring coors light, but we requested the Korean beer instead. The server brought those drinks and a fruit platter and disappeared. No overview of the controls, remote, settings etc. which you typically get when using karaoke rooms. Our servers were never to be seen again until our time was almost up. The server came in saying they needed a card now, handed mine over and they came back with the receipt and my card. The charges included a service charge. The package listed was the standard room, which includes 2 hours, the drinks mentioned above, fruit and an entree. The entree never came nor was it offered. Again, no menu available anywhere. Today when I looked at the receipt I noticed the service charge, and the package was one line item so I looked online to confirm we were billed for the right package since we were never handed a menu or package description. The package was not described on the receipt at all. Additionally, I didn't see the mandatory/ unilaterally added service charge listed anywhere. I normally don't question those charges if they're on a menu and are tied to a policy that's clearly outlined for customers. This was not the case at palm tree. I sent a text message looking to clarify the charges to the number that initially reached out regarding my initial request to book a room in advance. The person responded and I tried to explain my confusion. The person called me and introduced himself as the manager. I was so glad to see they were trying to communicate and answered, thanking them for reaching out before I explained anything. That call ended up making matters much worse. The manager was condescending. I tried to explain that we were not clear as to what our package included and that we were charged a service fee without any explanation. We also never received any food other than the fruit platter, despite the online descriptions stating an entree was included. I repeatedly explained that we were never offered a selection, menu, or any type of service. After several repetitive explanations, I became frustrated and asked if customers were expected to beg for service to which he answered "yes, just like a hotel". After which I said, wow okay and hung up. Obviously nothing to discuss if that's their understanding of what service should consist of. Karaoke rooms are not hotels despite the motel activity going on at this location. (Yes, the hooker reviews are true. Leather clad escorts, others in school girl mini skirts, and some in teeny weeny night club-esque dresses run rampant.) He then followed up our call via text saying it was his day off and that I should be glad he every contacted me today - as if I should have access to his schedule. I also noted I thought it was a business phone given they requested credit card info via text from that number. If you do book in advance, be on the lookout for any fraudulent charges. It's not normal or acceptable to request credit card info from a cell number. Most places either don't require this or you book online in a secure and private site. Overall very disappointed. This feels like a cover operation for the sex work that happens here, with money grabs and bait and switch tactics used on paying customers who really only come for karaoke. Wonder what the 5 star reviewers received in exchange for the positive reviews- there's no way they were submitted by customers paying full price. I've uploaded a video of all we received for our $366 total.

    Place is amazing to hang out with friends. Ambiance is great and would 100% recommend.

    Having fun with the cousins and brother!

You line up outside to wait and the turnover is usually fairly fast. They will take your order as you wait in line so by the time you're seated, you're not waiting forever for your food. My go to is their spicy seafood kalguksu, which contains plenty of seafood and always hits the spot. I've also had their chicken and clam ones as well, which are both super flavorful. I enjoy the squash and potatoes that they put in their noodles though sometimes the potato is less mushy/cooked through than what I prefer. The portion sizes are generous so definitely come hungry or you can share as well. I've tried their bossam and jowl combo as well and both are definitely great in their own way, but I absolutely love the minced garlic sauce that comes with the jowl. The jowl is a fattier cut while the bossam is meatier.

I really wanted authentic Korean food that was not kbbq and not tofu and this place delivered! This restaurant is in a small strip mall. The strip mall has other Korean food options. They have a valet parking system of sorts but we didn't pay, we self parked. The attendant told us we were fine. It was approx 9pm when we arrived and also a week night. I have no idea how much valet parking is here. We were a small party of two. Upon arrival, we were notified they were out of RICE. Um..what?? That's a good problem (for them to have) but not for consumers. I feel this really limited our options to just soup. I honestly didn't want soup but there wasn't much else we could order. The bowls were large and came out piping hot. It was a satisfying meal and not too heavy. The price point was on the pricey side. Our waiter told us business has not been the same post covid. Some dishes are between $40-$60. I asked for a soup and they were able to make it less spicy. My friend got a soup with dumplings in it. He put a good amount of soy sauce to give the broth some life. Also, the banchan is on point. We asked for a refill and devoured the second portions. If you wanna impress friends with Korean food, bring them here! Its a casual place.

Restaurant was half empty and no Ike which surprised us on a Saturday night. Ordered some bossam and chungukjang and it didn't taste the same as it used to couple years ago.

Also they were cleaning the kitchen while serving food which was kinda not sanitary with all the water splashing on the floor of the kitchen while they were making food. Overall it's not what it used to be and cleaning the kitchen while making and serving food is not a good combo.

First, this being in KTown, know parking is always a big issue. Parking is available in the back usually. If not, there is street parking. Once you come in, there's a good number of tables; high ceilings; and a nice vibe overall with some screens that are showing nature + some K-Pop. The wait staff is also usually pretty nice and are able to do a good job to describe the menu / what you're getting. Most likely, you're here to get the banchan $35 set - an amazing value for the amount of food you get. Noting that this set doesn't include meat which you can order on the side along with some other dishes. But you get nearly 30 mini dishes such as barley rice, pumpkin porridge, scorched rice soup, spinach salad, stir-fried chili peppers, rice kimchi, perilla chicken soup, acorn jelly salad, snail salad, and corn porridge. It's basically a riches of really good side dishes, centered around some delicious barley rice/sesame oil. You may find a few of the side dishes not to your style, but most people will most likely find something that you really enjoy. For instance, I think the acorn side salad is absolutely delicious and saucy while the seasoned soybean paste is full of flavor and perfect with the barley rice. For the pricing, it feels like a steal. And has been consistent ever since I first had it back a few years ago. We've taken to go boxes each time I've went because it's so filling. Totally recommended!

In fact, we regularly brought visitors here. They raved about how good the spare ribs were and even insisted that their last meal before LA should be at Ham Ji Park.  Here's my belated review of what I consider the best spare ribs in LA. From the moment the Korean-style spare ribs arrived at the table, it was clear this was a dish worth savoring. Each rib bore a beautifully charred exterior--deeply caramelized without a hint of bitterness--offering that irresistible smoky aroma the moment it was placed before us. The glaze was nothing short of spectacular. A perfect balance of sweet and spicy, it clung to the meat with a glossy sheen that promised flavor in every bite. There was just enough heat to make your taste buds sit up and pay attention, but it never overwhelmed the deeper, richer notes of the sweet components. But what truly set these ribs apart was the texture. Beneath the charred surface lay meat so tender it practically fell off the bone with the gentlest tug of a fork. Each bite was juicy and succulent, the result of careful cooking and a respect for quality ingredients. Ham Ji Park, you will be missed. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the food.

    tl;dr the delectable pork ribs overshadow the otherwise authentic but standard lineup at this…read morenow-shuttered Korean stalwart Los Angeles Koreatown is home to restaurants that specialize in every facet of Korean cuisine. 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.
