Tonkatsu done Korean style at Tonkatsu House and it's legit. What usually makes Korean tonkatsu is…read moredifferent is it's typically a more thin deep fried pork with some differences in the sauce. We all have our preferences but I love K-tonkatsu and Tonkatsu House does it so well. It's reliably good here so I always like stopping in when I go to the food court at Koreatown Plaza. Even in a stacked Korean food hall with so many good options, Tonkatsu House reigns supreme in my eyes. It's super casual with you ordering at the counter, then getting a buzzer to alert you once your food is ready, and you then need to try to avoid an open table in the busy food court. As much as I love the pork, the fish katsu here is so stellar that I often will get the Boston combo which has not only the pork and the fish but also a hamburg, plus the macaroni & rice that comes with each meal. I absolutely love their macaroni salad! Macaroni saelleodeu! Portions are huge, I always have leftovers. 3 hours validation offered. Overall, a great value here for incredibly good eats. Want to hear some wild work? It's been open since 1988 here when the mall itself opened.

We ordered the large pork cutlet, which came smothered in their signature sauce and served with a side salad and macaroni salad. Overall, I'd give it a solid 4/ 5. The tonkatsu sauce was just okay, I've definitely had better, but I really enjoyed how thin the cutlet was. It stayed crispy in every bite without feeling overly heavy or greasy. The portion size was generous, and the sides complemented the meal nicely. While this wasn't the best tonkatsu I've ever had, it was still satisfying and worth trying if you're exploring the food court. I'd definitely come back and continue working my way through the other food stalls in the area.

For me it was more of a homestyle korean food albeit a little bit too sweet, such as the stir fry…read morebeef bulgogi with onion. (The kids liked it a lot though!) They even liked the traditional style kimchi stew, which was tasty and made with sour kimchi, the way it should be. The food was not that "wow" but the prices were low ($13.99 for a combo of bulgogi with kimchi stew and barley rice) and wondered if their business can stick around long enough with just their 5 small tables? But luckily found out that their main business is making kimchi (their green onion kimchi was very good) and the restaurant was more of an after thought. The menus were only in korean and I doubt if anyone spoke English there, but google translating the menu worked. (See photo) What I liked most about this place was that I felt like I was in a small restaurant of a small korean village, with the friendly ajummas walking in and out of the restaurant (the kimchi making station is just outside on the patio) wearing their brightly colored rubber aprons and rubber shoes.

There is a lot of parking in the structure and a lot of seating in the food court. We got two pasta dishes. First up was the bulgolgi tomato pasta. It comes with a side of pickles that helped to break up the fat of the bulgolgi and overall richness of the dish. The pasta is cooked perfectly. The bulgolgi is slightly sweet and blends so well with the tomato sauce. Second. We got the seafood rose pasta. The subtle brininess of the seafood with the rose sauce blends incredibly well together. Once again the pasta is perfect. You also get a side of pickles. To drink we got the mandarin slushy and a korean peak slushy. Both were we sweet and refreshing and work well with the pasta. A solid and filling meal in a food court. If you have no time or a long time to sit and eat then this will be the place for you.

It's my first time trying KTown Restaurant inside Koreatown Plaza (KTP)'s food court. The menu is…read morequite modern, which slightly deviated from the traditional and classic Korean food stands that are found in this OG food court. I ordered their Jangjorim rice bowl. My order was ready within 10 minutes and I appreciated their swiftness and somewhat of the presentation. The rice bowl was placed on golden metal bowl, which felt truly authentic. I am also fond of the egg yolk placed in the center. Upon mixing it, I truly wished they could add a little bit more beef. The ratio between the rice and beef was not balanced. I felt like I was eating more carbs than protein. I would've enjoyed it more and appreciated my $11 if they add more jangjorim on top of the rice.

On January 20th, this Tuesday I had lunch with My Mom, and she ordered abalone porridge at Bonjuk…read more I was honestly shocked because the abalone porridge cost $27. It was surprisingly expensive. Some customers who were about to order in front of us saw the price and decided not to order--they just left and went somewhere else. When I ordered the abalone porridge, I asked why it was $27 when the menu board showed $22. The lady who took the order sighed deeply and said that everything has become so expensive these days. She also mentioned that they need to update the menu prices, but they don't have the money or time to change the menu board. Even though the porridge was very expensive, we still ordered it, and my mom enjoyed it very much. This porridge restaurant is a place I've loved for a very long time, even since it was located at a different location. It is still delicious.

So if you're a first timer like me, it is located in the food court. But that aside, I think this is one of a great comfort food, especially when you're traveling, or a busy day and would like to have something that helps wind down your day. Their food and ingredients are fresh and they have a variety of selections. I ordered the chicken porridge with oriental ingredients and abalone porridge, and they're really good. They are a little pricey but I guess the quality and the ingredients that they include in the porridge justifies the price.

The ambience of it's the weekend is buzzing because so many come to eat but during the weekday it's nice and mellow. Love coming here to try all types of Asian food.

I would not call this place a good value for your money…read more It is probably around the same price range for sit down restaurants with service like BCD Tofu House. I've wanted to try samgyetang in Koreatown and thought this would be as authentic as it gets. There is another spot at a Korean food court in the Valley, but I wanted to try it in Koreatown first. As an indecisive person, I made several rounds trying to figure out which restaurant had the food I wanted to eat and decent amount of traffic eating their food. I decided on this place because of the samgyetang not knowing what to expect as I've never tried it before at a restaurant. I've purchased it in a ready made pack from a Korean grocery store and that's about it. The wait for this soup was around 40 minutes which I thought was excessive without warning you about the wait. There's a language barrier and the lady taking orders didn't seem to speak English fluently when I asked her about my order 30 minutes into my wait. Be warned that this is not a fast food restaurant despite the appearance of being located in a Korean food food court. For $25 including the tip they guilted me into giving for no service, I didn't feel it was worth money. This soup is a bland chicken soup. It's another Korean soup you would need to season yourself. It tasted very one dimensional. I felt I was better off making my own chicken soup at home for half the price. I barely tasted any hint or earthiness of ginseng or the sweetness of jujubes. Perhaps a Korean would be better able to detect the ginseng flavor. As I was eating it, I thought I would rather have Filipino arroz caldo, which is a similar style soup with more flavor. At least I could say that I've had it. Knowing that is normally a bland soup after researching online, I don't think I would order this soup again at that price unless someone were to recommend a spot known for it. If you search for reviews of this place, most people describe the service here as "rude." I didn't find the woman rude, but a bit cold in addition to a language barrier not being able to set expectations about the long wait. If I return to this Korean food court, it seems a lot of people like the tonkotsu place or maybe the dumpling spot recommended by Eater... Or maybe the Korean street food spot at the end near the restroom.
