    We came here after a Blackpink concert around 12:30 AM, and there were only one or two tables occupied. By 1:30 AM, the place was PACKED, with a bunch of people waiting outside. I love that this KBBQ spot stays open until 4 AM which is perfect if you're craving Korean food after a night out. Coming from the Bay Area, I'm used to KBBQ being expensive, so I was surprised to find that it's only $27.99 per person here. Everything was pretty good and tastes like your average KBBQ place! They have a variety of sides and appetizers like cheese corn, steamed egg, japchae, ramen, soup, and more! My only complaint is the service. It was difficult to communicate with the servers and get our questions answered. It also took a while to flag someone down when we were ready to order more meat or sides.

    It was 1 am, my boyfriend & I were craving yummy kbbq. The usual spot we go to was closed so we came here instead. We walked in & were seated right away. Meats - We chose the AYCE B menu since A didn't have beef tongue & large intestines which are my faves! Verdict: they were ok. Their Marinated Short Rib was good! Pork belly & brisket were decent. Side dishes - ok / a lil bland, except the kimchi. The kimchi had a nice kick. Also saw that it's an extra charge if you refill the sides & rice more than 2 times which is not what we're used to. Parking - free parking lot & street parking available. Overall, I didn't love it but it's a good pick for late night cravings since most of the other AYCE restaurants closes earlier. Price is comparable in the area but I've had much better quality meats.

    I have been to this restaurant a couple times and I think it may be under new ownership or management. Nonetheless still a good experience! We did the 27.99 and you get a lot of different meats with it. The staff switched out the plates with good timing and also helped cut some of the meat during their down time. A downside we faced with the experience was that we were told their credit card systems weren't working so it was cash or Zelle. I hope this was just a coincidence and not a frequent thing that happens. Overall it was still a great experience with friendly staff. Parking is $5 if you eat in the complex too. Definitely worth giving a try!

    STE 101 is easily one of the best studio spaces on campus. The room is clean, modern, and thoughtfully set up for both individual work and group projects. The lighting, tech, and layout make it feel professional without being intimidating, and it's surprisingly comfortable to spend long sessions in. Everything--from the equipment to the seating--feels well-maintained and intentional. Whether you're recording, studying, or collaborating, STE 101 has this calm, focused vibe that makes you actually want to get work done. It's the kind of space that levels up your productivity and makes creative projects feel smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a studio that's reliable, accessible, and genuinely enjoyable to work in, STE 101 is a standout. Highly recommend.

    This is the LA night time spot for good food, I'm celebrating my birthday here Love this place

    Bulgogi. Was like mush

    They are very short staffed and unorganized. You're lucky to get a seat. The staff is not aware on how to serve. We wanted to start off with 3 orders of the same meat (3 orders to start). The waiter said ok. Next thing we know the manager came up to and was telling us we were ordering wrong and rudely educates us that only 1 type of meat allowed. Wish we were told by the waiter.. The side dishes were ok. There was some hair in the potatoes. Yikes! The meats were fine but frozen. The bulgogi is not bulgogi! It looks so gross. Feels like it was frozen as well. The place was VERY loud. It was so hard to talk to each other. If the music was a bit lower it could've been better. Overall, this place has change. From their staff to the rules and it's so so disorganized. Keep away!

    Poppin' vibez!! Staff are quick and friendly. Food is fresh and is very decent for the price. They also stay open late for midnight munchers! Loud music and somewhat dim lighting here. Cheers!

    I went to try the all you can eat KBBQ and this is a solid place while affordable. The service was quick and helpful. They continued to check on us and help out when needed. The food was great, I wasn't a fan of the brisket (usually am), but the short rib was delicious! The seating set up is organized and quite spacious!

    The KBBQ is very good. The service is quick and efficient. They helped me cook and cut the various proteins. My favorite was the Beef Bulgogi, beef belly and boneless short ribs. The ambiance is simple and clean. Open til 4am. Great for a late night spot. Parking is tricky but it's like that at most places in Ktown. I came on a Sunday so I found a free parking meter.

    Another day in Korea Town, and another new dinning establishment with great food and ambience. Food: They offer AYCE - all you can eat menu with 3 levels of different meat with affordable prices, A, B and C. The meats are well seasoned Service: the lady manager is really nice and friendly and attentive. Ambiance: the restaurant is a well lit room and also enough to have a nice, sweet dinner with someone you fancy. I definitely rate it 4 out of 5 Stars. Thank you for the wonderful food, service and space to have a special dinner with my friends.

    Do I need to call to reserve for a group of 6-8? For like a Friday evening around 7 pm?

    During the day more than likely! At a later time in night really rare. Hope this helps!

    You guys close at 4am but what's your last call?

    Hi Joseph, on weekends, we take orders until 3:30am, but on weekdays, it varies. Thank you for reaching out!

    Are you still open until 4am? Tnx

    Yes, we are! Our phone is currently down due to AT&T outage in the area in case you’ve called us.

    How much is Ayce for dinner?

    Lowest one price is $27/30 then goes up from there.

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.

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.

Comes with a soy bean paste that you use to further season. Just mix everything in a larger bowl and serve. OMG. Absolutely incredible!!!!!!!!!!

Additionally three different sides are also served (acorn jelly salad, Korean escargot/snail dish, steamed cabbage), along with perilla chicken soup, and soy bean soup, the latter which is the most traditional Korean dish.

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.

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.
