Super yummy food at an affordable price! Mayo rice bowl with bulgogi is sooo delicious. Definitely get the Korean Pear Slushy. The employees were also very friendly. Small restaurant but cute ambiance and very fresh during the summer! read more

Seoul Market Eatery - Mayo Rice Bowl - Chicken Mayo Rice Bowl - Bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Looking for cheap eats in ktown? Well this is the spot, limited selection though - they specialize in street food. They have chicken, ramen, udon and tteokboki. I got the udon to go. They packed it well didn't spill during my drive so that's great. While waiting I observed that they do get a lot of the young crown and saw a group order tteokbokki to share. Restaurant has a nice laid back design good place for the younger crowd. Definitely very affordable. It's right next to the salon I go to so very convenient. Next time I'll order to go and eat while waiting for my hair to be done. read more

After getting a nearby matcha (do I even need to specify where?) , we were looking for a little pick me up, a little little snack if you will. Our friend who is from K-town recommended this place which was just down the street. Perfect! Simple menu, simple food, they maximize the space that they have here. With such simplicity comes added pressure: one miss on the menu and that significantly brings down the reputation of this place. However, after only trying two things on the menu, I can't see them missing! Each bite hit every time, with bold, familiar flavors and textures. It was perfect. The small shop is fitted with everything that defines a hole-in-the-wall. Scribbles all over the wall picturing peoples hopes, dreams, anniversaries, heartbreaks, doodles, and artworks from the past 10+ years. Cashiers that gossip about customers in Korean. Extremely affordable food (not just for LA standards too!). This is an instant neighborhood staple. read more

Tried the Seoul Market Eatery which consists of Korean street food. We ordered a large Tteokbokki with ramen and had some fishcake in the mix. And we ordered a large chicken. I also got the dragon mango lemonade which was very refreshing. The food was about $40 for 4 of us (not including the drink) sharing and it was enough. Would come and try other items. #koreanfood #tteokbokki #koreatown #la #food read more

Found this place accidentally, and I was really impressed. Fairly priced and generous portions. My most favorite was Tteokbokki which was extremely tasty and not overly sweet or spicy. Service was great. Food came out fast. Only downside was parking spot but it's in Koreatown so be prepared for seeking parking space. read more

I love love love this place! So glad I finally stopped by, the place is a cozy version of a Korean bar and the staff is super friendly The sweet & spicy fried chicken gangjeong is crunchy, juicy, and has a delicious sticky sauce that actually isn't too spicy and a bit Smokey with a touch of sweetness. The rice cakes are great with it as well but my only wish is that these were grilled or fried with the wings! The tteokbokki also isn't too spicy and has a great mix of flavors especially with the fish cakes And the bulgogi kimbap is stuffed with a tasty filling mix of meat and veggies! read more

8.5/10 Mayo Rice Bowl - It's a basic bulgogi bowl with good flavor. My only issue is that there is a lot of rice and not enough meat. It is a bit too rice heavy for my personal preference. Cost - $13.00 before taxes. read more

Seoul Market Eatery - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The starting point was low -- and somehow we sank even lower. We got seated, then promptly ghosted like a bad Tinder date. No menu, no instructions, no sign of life. Eventually, we found the menu... by the door, as if it was actively trying not to be found. The person at the POS had all the warmth of a DMV clerk. Sure, they handed us our food, but hospitality? Absolutely none. I've had more engaging conversations with a vending machine. And the food? 'Okay' in the same way a lukewarm gas-station hot dog is okay -- mostly pre-made junk food with zero personality and zero reasons to ever come back. The walls? Covered in graffiti. I'm sure someone out there thinks it's hip. I think it's messy -- like a teenager's bedroom had a meltdown and nobody pressed 'undo.' It doesn't look edgy. It looks like they gave up on cleaning and decided to gaslight everyone into calling it 'vibes.' read more

Stopped by here for a Saturday lunch. Street parking is pretty awful around here, but not entirely impossible. I planned to also stop by Rok so good thing they're so close to each other! Walking in, there's a lot of non-Koreans dining here, so I was kinda skeptical about the food here if it's authentic or not haha. The menu items are pretty cheap here, honestly it's like the price of paying for food court food. I like how they have S, M, L for the menu items here, so it's also solo dining friendly! I ordered the small tteokbokki ($5) and the sweet and spicy fried chicken ($6). It didn't take too long for the order to be prepared, they also bring it to your table. First off, the fried chicken here is pretty good! Although, it does really just taste like food court food, but it's still pretty good for what you pay for it. The tteokbokki was also pretty solid. They're the long-skinny-ish ones, but I do enjoy myself the fatter ones, but these were pretty alright. Overall, for the value, portion, and taste of it all, it's honestly pretty good! Quick and friendly service. The shop itself is pretty small, but very casual and inviting. read more

Delicious Korean street food for a great price! I've been a few times and my favorites here are the Seoul Fire Chicken and the Tteokbokki. Both are super flavorful and amazing quality. The small tteokbokki is only $5 and the medium tteokbokki is only $10! Love the vibes and decorations here, and the service is excellent. Highly recommend for the best Korean street food! read more

I love how affordable, quick & casual this place is! Food came out within 3-5 minutes of us ordering. My party of 3 ordered a fishcake soup, medium tempura mix & fried chicken (soy flavor). Fishcake was soft & the soup was flavorful & warming. It provided a nice contrast to our fried side. I really enjoy the variety in korean tempura dishes with noodles, shrimp, squid, etc. The soy fried chicken was crunchy and had a sweet soy taste. Portions are definitely worth the prices! Would come back again. read more

my friend and i stopped by here after hearing about the prices of the food - the inside was small with tables and the walls had many drawings/graffitis - my friend and i shared the regular budae-ramen, bulgogi kimbap, and the small sweet & sour fried chicken gangjeong. the ramen (4/5) was spicy and warmed us up on that cloudy day we went. the kimbap (4.1/5) was flavorful and filling with the ingredients. the fried chicken (4.2/5) was our favorite out of the three dishes. loved how it came with rice cakes and how crunchy the chicken was. all three dishes filled us up fully. - the servers were helpful to our needs and they brought us our food pretty quickly. the parking was a bit of a hassle though. we had to park around the residential area since all the street parking in front of the store were taken overall, this place has good food selections with affordable prices. read more

We went to Seoul Market Eatery and honestly... such a fire spot. We ordered the tteokbokki with ramen and cream cheese and WOW. Soooo good. The sauce was rich, spicy, and creamy in the best way, and the cream cheese made it extra indulgent without being too heavy. The ramen soaked up all that flavor perfectly. For the price, this dish alone is 100% worth it; cheap, filling, and insanely good. Highly recommend. We also got both flavors of the fried chicken, and they did not miss. Super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and really flavorful. Each flavor had its own thing going on, so it didn't feel repetitive at all: perfect for sharing. The fish cakes in soup were another highlight. The broth was super flavorful and comforting, and it added a really nice contrast to the heavier, spicy dishes. Simple but done really well. We also got the tempura, which had fried octopus and dumplings, and when we dipped those into the tteokbokki sauce... unmatched. Actually insane. Crispy + chewy + spicy sauce combo went crazy. A few things to note: it's cheap and really good, but seating is limited. Service itself was quick, but since we were a party of 7, it took us a while to get seated. Once we were in though, food came out fast. The ambiance is so fireeee. Super fun, lively, and casual. You can draw on the walls, which makes it feel really interactive and chill, and the vibes were immaculate the entire time. Overall: great food, great prices, fun atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd go back to; especially with friends. read more

The value you get from their menu is MIND BLOWING. I had a friend describe this place to me and I almost didn't believe them. I knew I had to make a trek out to Ktown to see it with my own eyes. Little did I know I would be walking into my new hyper fixation meal. I ordered the tteokbokki with added ramen noodles as well as the skewered fish cake. I coudn't have paid more than $16 for the meal which nowadays is comparable to the price of a low-quality combo meal at a fast food chain. I know which one I'm choosing any day of the week. Enough raving about the value, the TASTE is where it's really at. The tteokbokki was cooked to perfection and the sauce was superb. There was an excellent balance of sweet and umami. Probably the best tteokbokki I've had so far. Ramen was done just right. The fishcakes on the skewers were huge. Safe to say, I had leftovers for dinner. I'll definitely be returning to try their fried chicken and drink selection. Parking can be tough, but it's Ktown so what's new lol. read more

I love this place. If you're looking for cheap, good, Korean street food this is the place to go. I love their fried chicken. It's the perfect amount of crunch and sauce. And they also add fried tteokbokki into it as well. I also love ther tteokbokki as well. I wanted to get their kimbap but they were sold out that day. Additionally there's parking in the back. The street that they're on has horrible parking so this is such a game changer. The service is quick you can dine in or get to go. Overall I would recommend to friends read more

Came back, this time with 3 people. We tried some new dishes and upped the portion sizes. We still had way too much food, that's how generous the portions are for the value you get. - love the soy sauce flavored fried chicken, the sweet & spicy tasted odd to me - the tonkatsu mayo rice bowl is good, but very filling so a regular is a good size - shrimp kimbap is solid - the tteokbokki is perfect to me and the flavors are well balanced, it needs ramen in my opinion to soak up all the sauce Staff was friendly like last time. The seats aren't the most comfortable, but it's a casual place. Parking also is rough, but after 7pm you have more options read more

Seoul Market Eatery is such a good budget-friendly eat. It's a very casual restaurant with a sweet mom-and-pop vibe. We didn't have to wait too long for the food, and once it did come, it was super tasty, warm, and comforting. The fried chicken was super crisp, the tteokbokki was chewy and sweet, and the budae jigae was so flavorful. Parking is street but we had no problems, and actually found a spot right in front of the store! Overall, it was delish and will definitely be back. read more

I saw this place all over social media and it lived up to the hype. You can choose small, medium, or large portions of various Korean street food classics. Super budget friendly and great for sharing. The staff was super nice as well! The fried chicken and tteokbokki were the best in my opinion. We got the soy garlic chicken, which was savory, sweet, and crunchy. The tteokbokki was perfectly spicy as well. The fish cake was a great non spicy and warm, healing option. I would not order the kimbap again; it was just so-so. I also loved that they had hot and cold water in the dispenser. Parking is hard as with most restaurants in Ktown but there is street parking nearby. read more

I came when they first opened and a one more a couple months after. Parking is an atrocity and near nonexistent, even for ktown standards. I've tried the tteokbokki and chicken mayo rice bowl both times. The food was decent tasting and a steal for their pretty cheap price. The portion sizing was also on the bigger end, even when I ordered small. Now the real issue here is also the absurd wait time. Both times I've gone, I had to wait more than an hour for my food after ordering. That paired with the horrendous parking situation, I am not inclined to come back. read more

I've seen Seoul Market Eatery all over instagram and TikTok and the hype is real. You order at the counter and take a seat. The service is lightning fast--I barely had time to check-in on Yelp before our food hit the table. The staff is super friendly and pleasant too, making the whole experience feel effortless and welcoming. We came on an early Sunday evening and it wasn't too busy - though I can see it being pretty busy on a Friday or Saturday night. Now the food... WOW. We tried the Tteokbokki, Assorted Tempura, Bulgogi Kimbap, Skewered Fishcake, Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken Gangjeong, and every bite satisfied my cravings for Korean street food. The flavors are bold, comforting, and exactly what I crave. We ordered the Asian Pear Slush and it was perfection in this heat wave! The best part? The prices are amazing for the quality and portions--my wallet was just as happy as my stomach. They have small, medium, and large options at $5, $10, and $15. We ordered everything in a small (aside from the Assorted Tempura - medium) and we came home with lots of leftovers! And let's talk about the vibe: the interior has this fun, playful market feel with bright colors and cool details that make it feel like you've stepped right into a night market. It's casual, energetic, and perfect for grabbing food with friends or a quick solo bite. Seoul Marker Eatery = street food-level delicious without street food-level chaos.

Seoul Market Eatery is my new favorite place! The prices are pretty unbelievable for how good it is! Me and my bestie are obsessed. Walking in the shop has the cutest vibes, writing all over the walls, various sized tables, friendly staff. Tell me why my eyes instantly were drawn to the "BTS ARMY" tiny scribbled on a far away high wall? Yuck, I'm an ahjeema gasoo fan and my eyeballs couldn't help it. #jkbias #ihorrifymyself i digressssssss~ Everything here is so darn cheap, your eyes are going to be like...this is usd right!? Omgggg, the fried chicken is a must get! We shared the soy sauce flavored pieces and the gangjeong mixed in was brilliance. The tteokbokki was way better than expected for $5, nicely balanced sweet and spicy, plus I personally love the smaller pieces of dduk and fish cake like in their version. The donkatsu rice bowl was fun with great flavor, bits of egg and seaweed strewn throughout, it's incredibly filling. The tempura variety is phenomenal for the small $5 plate - sheesh! Ohjinguh, shrimp, seaweed roll and mandoo that all were legitly tasty. That's the thing with all their Korean Street Foods, they're not just well priced but also truly scrumptious! Pro-Tip: Adding the cream cheese ($1.50) to the their tteokbokki will enhance the dish by a thousand percent. The prices are fabulous, the eats are actually quite delicious and once I figure out some secret, hidden park spot I will be here on the regular, lol! :) This is Korean street food done right. read more

Affordable, quick, simple and delicious! Much respect to the staff! They were very friendly and inviting, I noticed they were being attentive to a person in a wheelchair, attending to them with manners and kindness. For dinner I had the Tteokbokki with ramen, and the bulgogi mayo rice bowl, what I really loved about the dishes is that they were simple, not flavorless by any means, but not complicated at all, just good food! The place is a bit small but there's enough seating for one to two people or a small group! I definitely recommend giving this place a try if in the area. I am not aware of the parking situation as I take the bus most of the time. read more

Came here on a Sunday around 7 pm. As usual, parking in the Koreatown area can be tough but luckily I found street parking and there are garages around. When you walk in, there's a stand that tells you to order at the counter then they'll bring it to the table and next to that is a stack of menus. Simple menu with unbeatable prices!! The inside is small and casual, with the walls covered in art and writing from customers. We decided to order a small fried chicken sweet & spicy ($5), a small order of fish cake ($5), a small order of tteokbokki ($5,) and a medium tempura ($10). Order came out to $27 without tip! We also wanted to get a bulgogi kimbab but they were out of all kimbab by the time I ordered. Food was ready fast. And while everything wasn't the best ever, it definitely hit the spot and was super filling. $27 worth of food was filling enough for 3 of us. The tteokbokki was chewy, slightly spicy, and sweet. It also came with a few slices of fish cake. The tempura was flavorful and super crunchy, it came with shrimp, calamari, seaweed rolls, and dumplings. I liked dipping them in the tteokbokki sauce. The fried chicken was super crispy too and had a yummy sauce on them. There were 3 fish cake skewers in the small order and they were so soft and went well with the savory broth which I drank as I ate the skewer. This was a great meal! I would definitely come back!! Even just for a snack before hitting a different restaurant would be a good idea. I would like to try the kimbab sometime and will likely bring more friends and family here to try. The price literally makes it so worth it! read more

Small little dining area which sends like it could get crowded and lively. Ordered the fried chicken, tteokbokki, and tempura. The tempura included dumplings, squid, shrimp, and a noodle eggroll which were all delicious. Tteokbokki had fish cakes and had a good kick. The chicken was very crunchy and flavorful but the rice cakes that were in the dish were cold. Just wish that the fried chicken dish had a hotter temperature. For the price and quickness of service, I would say the hype is real. DON'T FORGET THE LYCHEE MANGO DRINK! read more

Down right delicious spot serving a small mini portion of quick kfood bites, entrees, and tasty appetizers. The mismatch metal furniture and exciting fliers posted around the walls inside feels like a meal in a lively street atmosphere outside. Once tables opened up my girlfriend and I were shown to a table close to the counter/kitchen. Location. location. Location. Excited by the fumes of what was cooking a few feet away from us, we fancied the mini menu, excellent familiar options and cheap!!! I think coming here with the expectation for lower priced food lowered my standards only slightly for quality food but still some of the dishes were busting! Using sauces/broths from one plate to flavor another was excellent. Luckily with the pricing/size options there's a lot of things you can try and still get a nice hearty meal of food. My favorites were their kimbap and crisped chicken with rice cake. I admired the presentation, simple but well executed ingredients plated for a quick comfort meal. I'd recommend to anyone considering dipping their toe in Korean cuisine given the price options/value of their food! read more

You order upfront then they bring you the food to you. Price was super affordable. Everything I got was around $34 and I was full/satisfied after. The udon had fish cakes, noodle, and garnish.

The show stealer for us was the sweet & spicy fried chicken, which is boneless but the flavor was really good. It also came with pieces of fried tteok which was a nice surprise. The kimbap and tteokbokki was good as well and the tteokbokki wasn't too spicy. Otherwise, I will definitely come back to try more of the different menu items and flavors! read more

If you're looking for a very affordable Korean restaurant with a hip Seoul vibe that offers delicious food, this is the place to go!

The tteokbokki, chicken, and ramen were mild spicy, so if you are looking for a subtle kick to you food, order these dishes.
