Came here on a Tuesday around 5:30 pm to meet up with a friend for dinner. The back parking lot was…read morepretty empty and I was a little confused because it said parking was $2 for the restaurant but I didn't end up paying anyone, maybe bc it was early or a weekday. Parking was completely full by the time we left around 8 pm. Not a lot of restaurant customers but there are other businesses in the plaza. I walked in through the back and the restaurant was completely empty. It was pretty spacious with very tall ceilings and a decent amount of tables inside and out. We were sat in a large booth and the tables had buttons you could use to call the server over which was handy because the booth walls were so tall! It's bright inside and they had a few high quality TVs around playing different stuff. We decided to share the salkogi sullungtang (ox bone soup with beef brisket), dwaejibossam (boiled pork with Napa wraps) and dwaejideung (fried pork back ribs). We got the ribs soy sauce flavored which was recommended by our server. Side note-whoever goes to this restaurant next should take a photo of their updated menu because I forgot! The food was ready pretty quickly, we had everything before 6 pm. The ribs were definitely my favorite dish. They were served with a simple cabbage salad with tangy orange dressing. The ribs themselves were crispy on the outside, meaty and tender, and super super flavorful and delicious. Would get again for sure. The bossam was my second favorite item. Honestly a classic, never had a bossam I didn't like. It went well with the garlic, jalapeño, spicy radish kimchi, and the tender Napa. My favorite part is always the thin slices of pickled daikon. It also went well with the other banchan and personally I don't think it needs any sauce but I will add the provided bean sauce occasionally. The sullangtang was also delicious. Simple and satisfying. Hot milky broth, noodles, and beef. Then you add your desired amount of salt, black pepper, and green onion. It was also pretty affordable compared to the other dishes. I then ordered a bibim nengmyun (cold noodles in spicy sauce) to take home to my boyfriend. Total for everything around $120 without tip. A little pricey for the ribs imo but definitely worth a try if you're interested. I personally would come back even though they have a lot of the same dishes as other restaurants in the area. The ribs were pretty special.

Tried the budae jjigae and the seafood pancake with friends. Honestly, the food and sides were okay…read morebut didn't stand out much compared to other ktown restaurants. The budae jjigae broth was good but we wished the seafood pancake was a lot crispier. The staff was nice and service was okay. It took a while for us to realize there's a service button on the table haha. The inside booths and tables were cozy with cute wall art. Wouldn't come back for the food again though.

We just didn't ask for more and finished everything that was served. Ambiance is like hole on the wall place but still saw these older Caucasian couple dining there, for a Tuesday dinner. The restaurant owner said a lot of foreigners that stay at The Line Hotel nearby (Normandie & Wilshire) walks over to have dinner. I'm so happy to see these hole on the wall restaurants do well with social media reviews. The price is very reasonable. I would say this place reminded me of jangan restaurant on 2773 W Olympic but much reasonably priced than jangan for sure! Will definitely be back!

I value the quality of food + price over service any day which tends to be a good fit for KTown in LA, but server (maybe owner?) was friendly, always smiling, prompt.

We got a small gamjatang which was enough to feed 2-3 people along with an assortment of banchans!

My friend recommended this spot to me and wow... this place is seriously underrated…read more I normally go to Han Bat Sul Lung Tang, Jun Tong Sul Lung Tang, and Shin Chon Sul Lung Tang, but honestly, this one is better than all of them to me. My new fave spot! I ordered the sul lung tang and it was so good. The broth was rich, milky, and comforting. Perfect for hangovers, sick days and cold weather. They provide salt on the side, so you can season it exactly how you like (I added everything). Portion's generous as well. The banchan was tasty, and the ahjumma was really friendly too. I got it to-go this time, but I'm definitely coming back to dine in and try the galbi tang and samgyetang. Also, I didn't realize until I got there that this spot used to be the OG Beverly Soon Tofu location. Total nostalgia.. There's parking out front but I imagine it getting busy during weekends/dinner time. There's also street parking if needed.

We got seated eventually and ordered fried chicken, stir fried chicken gizzard, and their spicy stir fried octopus w/noodles Bad & ugly: Stir fried gizzard was fine, but their onions did not pair well at all. We thought it was rotten and asked for a remake, which they reassured us that the onions were fresh, and that the flavors probably didn't go together. They didn't charge us and also took the dish away which was a bummer despite the gizzard already not having that much on its plate... forgot to take a photo of that Spicy stir fried squid: I highly DO NOT recommend getting this unless you like mostly veggies. $30+ for ~10 tiny pieces of squid is absurd. I've had better dishes of this elsewhere Overall experience was a huge let down. Although they asked if we wanted to order something else instead, I did not want to risk ordering something else just to be disappointed. They did offer a beverage on the house ‍ BLUF: I only recommend the chicken here. Parking is free and plenty, but at least the dishes we ordered were a ripoff
