    Kimchi T2. Kimchi-Jjigae and R2. Kimchi Fried Rice. With cheese
    Julian V.

    The people working here are the absolute sweetest in the world. Came in around 11pm because it was one of the only places open at the time, and wow is the food amazing. We had the kimchi jjigae, kimchi fried rice, and bulgogi bibimbap. We ate everything! It was so amazing, and the woman working was the sweetest. She wanted to get to know us and even gave us a free plate of japchae I will be back again and again for sure.

    R2. Kimchi Fried Rice. Very delicious.

    This place has some of the best LA Galbi I have ever had. Incredibly deep flavor; very fatty and sweet. The rice cake was also very good and the kimchi fried rice was solid. The service was attentive and ambiance was Titanic themed (yes, that Titanic, starring Leo) It isn't as cheap as places in K-Town, but its flavor is truly elite, so the price makes sense. Cheers.

    Food and inside the restaurant

    Nice mom and pop shop that's open late. The food was good, but not amazing, and we were thrown off by the 18% service fee tacked on top of every dine-in order, regardless of party size. They do have that listed on a sign at the register, but not on the menu so my party of two didn't see it since we dined in. We got the bulgogi bowl and the spicy pork bibimbap bowl (egg is an extra $1.50). Both bowls come with your selected entree over rice, with veggies, and miso soup. But I don't think the bibimbap bowl is worth the extra $4 to get some bibimbap sauce and different veggies. Overall a good spot, but would probably order take out next time or try something else.

    I really enjoyed this spot! It's a Korean and sushi fusion cafe! It has a very cozy and comfy feel to it. Like you're eating at your grandmas house. Sushi wasn't available during my visit which was a bummer! Next best thing I was craving was their beef soup. The spicy beef is DELISH! 10/10 not really spicy but it has the perfect kick! Their beef bowl was pretty good 7/10 Wings were ok 6/10 It's a family owned restaurant. The mom, dad and son are all serving tables. Nice people! The dad even has an homage to the movie titanic since according to his son " it was the first movie he watched when arriving to the United States! Very sweet and meaningful! Definitely recommend and will be back soon!

    We were craving some Korean soup from Burbank, so this was the closest from us. I ordered Beef Tofu soup, the soup tasted well but the beef felt like it was not fresh, reheated. We also ordered some Galbi Tang, great portion and it was good. There are few parking spots in the plaza but tight. The decor of the place feels really odd, like they have different kinds of furnitures and can't decide what theme they want. They even have karaoke set up. They require 18% service charge which doesn't sit well with me. I'm glad I did a to-go order.

    Spicy Pork Bowl

    Food was great. Definitely got my Korean barbecue fix out the way the spicy pork was phenomenal. I love the atmosphere inside too. Everyone was so friendly and authentic. This will become one of my regulars now. I'm glad I went.

    LOVE this place- it deserves WAY more business!! Such a cute little Korean spot with all the goodies and more. Truly a slice of Ktown in studio city. They're even open late and have karaoke. Their BEEF BOWL YUM!! Their soondubu-jjigae stew with beef is also so delicious- a health potion. And of course their tteokbokki hits the spot. This one is in my rotation for sure.

    Seoul Bistro has been on my radar for a couple of years and I finally got the chance to visit! Upon arrival you automatically get the Koreatown experience standing outside in front of the shop. The lights, the signs, the colors are all flashy and welcomes you. It pretty much screams "we got some good Korean food and you should come inside, NOW". The interior is decorated nicely and from my first impression, it wasn't exactly as I would have imagined. I loved the table arrangements they have and with a party of 3 we got seated in an unique cushioned bench like seats in the corner. When its my first time at a new restaurant I like to bring some people and order basically one of each of my favorite items just to see if I'll be coming back. For the 3 of us we ordered 6 different dishes. Our waitress kept telling us that we're ordering too much food. lol As the dishes started to roll in she kept telling us "I told you its too much food". My party and I didn't care about the comment as we planned to take the leftovers home anyways, but she was right! It was a lot of food ordered. The food was all great. We all got our Korean food fix one way or another. The only thing Seoul Bistro needed was a beer and wine license because when having Korean food you gotta have some soju and that was pretty much all that was missing. Parking: small private lot VERDICT: Rinse and repeat

    Bibimbap with beef ribs (galbi) and I added an egg. Comes with miso soup.
    Andy L.

    High quality bibimbap with beef ribs (galbi). Comes with miso soup. I added an egg to the bibimbap. I debated between ordering the beef ribs (galbi) versus the sliced beef (bulgogi) and I'm glad I went with the beef ribs. Delicious.

    Walking in you are transported to a k-town restaurant you're no longer in the valley. One of the few places that's isn't fast food that's open late. Service was friendly and fast. Your food is made to order. Few parking spots out front. Growing up in k-town I wasn't super impressed, but food was good, will be back.

    I'm not sure if the chefs changed or maybe they're trying to cut back on quality but the last few times I've came in and ordered, for sure feels like it's for a different place. The tteokbokki I get has missed the egg for the 4 times I've been within the last two months. I also feel like the plate is loaded up with steamed cabbage (not kimchi) and broccoli but little to no rice cakes and meat. I've had maybe 3 pieces of sausage and a small bunch of bulgogi in the dish. It's a bit frustrating considering that this place is not the most affordable and the value isn't really there for me. The ambiance is ok. It has progressively gotten better on the interior but the food quality has suffered.

    Bibimbap, Fried Chicken
    Kimberly S.

    I came here because I was craving Korean food. We decided to dine in and we were the only customers; my friend, her kid and me. After we ordered our food, we realize we didn't get water, which we didn't get until after our food. I asked her for more napkins and she dropped it, like gently tossed it onto the table while walking away, like no acknowledgement at all. She didn't check back on us after we received our food. And when I asked her for a to-go box, she handed me a small one, looked over my table and took the small one back and handed me a bigger one. While I was paying, I asked her for another one but the small one because I had leftover fried chicken and some bibimbap so I wanted to pack those separate. She looks over at our table to see if it was worth giving out another plastic box to a customer. After she scanned the scene, she handed me a small box. I give the boxes to my friend then walk back to her to ask for more chili sauce. She proceeds to look at my table again, sees that we INDEED used up all of it, then gives me another thing of it. I also asked her for more radishes since we have three cubes left and she immediately says they're out of it. Like of all things you run out of, you run out of those. I know for sure they're not out of those. She was being stingy from the start with the boxes. There was no need to keep looking at my table. When I say "looking", I'm not saying that she just looks past my shoulder. I'm saying she's reaching over the counter getting close to my face type looking. She can't see our table by just standing there. There were no other customers to begin with so there was no reason more this slow and unattentive (probably not a word) service, ESPECIALLY since they have auto-gratuity for dine-in customers. If you're going to add auto-gratuity, at least provide the service that they expect (for 18%). Overall, the food was good. I just wouldn't come to dine-in again but next time, definitely just getting to-go.

I will say that the reviews were good, however I was skeptical due to North Hollywood location and newly openly developed area. Regardless, we tried it. We were greeted and told to wait; totally fine, party of 3 on the waitlist seated ahead of us. Next, we sat down, listening to Drake, Kendrick and Kayne. After we were seated, we asked if we could share one hand roll set, which is something we regularly do at every other handroll restaurants. The waitress immediately explained that the hand roll sets were not meant to be shared and repeatedly asked us which specific rolls each of us would be eating. We were questioned about it more than once, making the interaction feel unnecessarily uncomfortable. A short time later, as J-Cole continued to play, another couple was seated next to us. They also asked to share a hand roll set. To my surprise, they were not given the same explanation, nor were they repeatedly asked to identify which rolls each person would be eating. Their request was simply accommodated. Interesting how minorities are treated here compared to others in this area. I cannot believe in 2026 how racism is very much alive, while black artists are playing overhead. I've spent thousands of dollars dining at restaurants throughout Los Angeles and have always believed that every customer deserves to be treated with the same level of respect. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I will never return to this racist establishment. I hope management takes customer service seriously and ensures that all guests are treated consistently and respectfully. Bottom line, I should have gone to Yunomi. Also, prices are too high.

Located on Ventura Boulevard, Sushi Tomoki is a small, intimate sushi restaurant with a clean, minimalist Japanese aesthetic and a relaxed atmosphere that lets the food take center stage. (The Infatuation) Since we were dining with our 22-month-old, we requested a table instead of sitting at the sushi bar, and the staff was very accommodating. They even prepared a customized tamago sushi roll for our little one, which he absolutely enjoyed. The omakase was thoughtfully paced, with each piece served one at a time so we could fully appreciate every bite. The fish was incredibly fresh, and every piece practically melted in our mouths. The attention to detail and quality of the ingredients really stood out. The only piece that wasn't my favorite was the sushi topped with mint. It simply wasn't my personal preference, though I'm sure those who enjoy mint with savory dishes would appreciate it. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. They made my sister's birthday even more special by singing Happy Birthday and surprising her with complimentary sherbet and four pieces of green tea mochi--a thoughtful touch that ended the evening on a high note. Overall, Sushi Tomoki delivered a memorable omakase experience with outstanding sushi, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

We walked in at 6:40pm and got a nice welcome from Mediko. Without having a reservation, she sat us down immediately. Our server Meika approached us right away to take our order. We started off with a standard size of Garlic Edamame ($6.80), and then ordered few other cut rolls. Spicy Tuna Cut Roll--for 10 pieces ($14.80), Albacore Fried Onion Roll-- count of 12 for ($20.80), Zero Roll-- count of 12 for ($25.00), Rainbow Roll-- count of 12 for ($10.80). Everything was so LIGHT, FRESH and DELICIOUS!!! They also have hand rolls, and other types of cut rolls. They have street and metered parking. Before I forget, we ordered Crispy Rice Tuna that came in (2) pieces for (13.50). The minute I saw that, it made me laugh. Called our server and told her to take that back and remove it from the bill which she gladly did. I thought it was going to be an actual full course rolls. They also have dessert but we didn't order anything. Restaurant was very quaint, limited decor, very busy for Monday mid evening, and was very nice and clean. Total came out to be $95.70 including tax minus the tip. I'm sure they also have a bathroom, but we didn't end up using it. I will return, but not any time soon. They also don't have any Bento Box type of food. Very authentic place to go on a date, friends, family or even dine solo. They also have a Sushi Bar. Alcohol wise, only have beer, wine and sake along with 2 fridges full of cold drinks.. Thank you all very much!!

Seated in a rather interesting part of North Hollywood, the summer heat did not deter us from eating here, as the smell immediately brought my worries elsewhere.

Though, much to the credit of our waiter she understood and offered to swap it out for another appetizer, which probably deserves the vast majority of the praise here. The vegetarian dumplings we ordered were legitmately some of the best dumplings I've had period. From the vegan mayo to the best gentle heat I've ever had the experience I've eating. Just hot enough for a brief moment with delightful heat throughout. The chicken skewers we had and the calamari were solid and with a perfectly paired Thai Iced Tea, I only hope to visit again and drown in dumplings. Cheers!
