    The saddest looking cali rolls.
    Hillary K.

    This place has been my go to place for a quick bite for my parents and I. But lately the quality and portions have been so off. I understand the prices for everything is going up nowdays but that doesnt mean the portion and quality of your food should go down. The rice on my california rolls were so thin and the fillings are so little you can see empty space in them.

    Quick and easy! Simple dishes from sushi rolls to udon combos. Perfect place to chow down after or before shopping at the market. They also provide catering service (which is awesome!) Everything here is fresh and good but the minus 1 star since they have very limited seating available!

    Don't go shopping while hungry? No problem. Stop into Yanusa, set nearby the produce section. They have an extensive menu of soups and noodles and sushi --- at least I think so. My Korean isn't so good, but I can certainly read the pictures! Nice little lunch nook here with tables and mini booths and a bar area. I snagged the last stool and ordered #7. Got pleasantly met with a couple baked mussels (delicious if mysterious); a big bowl of Udon; a big sushi roll of krab and avocado and veggies; some Korean pickles, and kimchi. Kind of a lot of food - and at $10, pretty dang reasonable. Service is quick, efficient and friendly. (Friendlier than some of the 'Taster' staff in the store who don't look as kindly on the likes of me). It's impressive how they navigate the small space with all the diners, but somehow they do it. I would definitely return. There's a few places to eat inside this market, and this place looks the healthiest and nicest.

    A hidden gem!! SO hidden that I'm the first to review! Woohoo! This place is a small take-out and catering restaurant located INSIDE the corner of Hannam Chain, the Korean market in the plaza next to Cafe Tous Les Jour. As soon as you walk in, you'll see it on the right side. Very humble and cozy, only 4 small tables and a sushi bar. The times I've come here, I've tried their udon for $5.55. I really like the taste of their broth/soup! They also have sushi and rolls, and you can get a combination of california roll + udon for $7.39 which also comes with 2 mussels. You can also get a spicy tuna roll instead in the combo, although it's not on the menu. Pretty good deal! The service is always super fast and the prices are cheap! So next time you have to buy some groceries at the Korean market, stop by and grab a quick bite to eat! Easy on the wallet and yummy in the tummy! :)

    Portions have downgraded and they only offer takeout with a higher price now. I used to love coming here for years but now I'm hesitating to even come back.

    Upon entering Hannam Market to your immediate right is Yanusa , one of several eateries inside the store. I've eaten here so many times and just never left a review. Yanusa is a very tiny and crowded,only 4 tables and a few bench seats. My lunch consisted of Baked Mussels and Seafood Udon. (Several Banchan are included with order) The Baked Mussels are my favorite and I always order them. The Seafood Udon is loaded with portions of Seafood. This simple lunch will fill your appetite and will not even put a dent in your pocket book. *** Stop # 6 of 7 from my DTLA / K Town excursion

    Banchans and miso
    Elizabeth L.

    $9 (with tax) for three handrolls, banchans, and miso soup!? I SAY YES!! My sister and I were shopping at Hanam and got a little hungry so we decided to stop at the little restaurant near the produce to have a bite. To our surprise, the 3 handrolls were amazing, fresh, and a great portion of food for two girls! The three handrolls are spicy fish (tuna, salmon, yellowtail mix I think), california roll, and eel. Let me tell you, they don't skimp on the meat or avocado! It was delicious. The miso soup was a wonderful touch and a bigger portion than normal. Score! Will be back.

We were able to order in the line, and got our food within 10 minutes once we finally sat down. I tried their handmade clam kalgusku soup and beef bulgogi. Both portions were generous. The kalguksu was incredible comforting, with chewy, long, freshly made noodles in a rich, savory broth that was packed with clams. The beef bulgogi was also delicious. It came with a side of salad and rice. The bulgogi was tender, well-merinated, and paired well together with the sides. Great place for authentic Korean comfort food, and I would love to try their famous Bossam in the future!

We ordered the medium bossam, galbi kalguksu, perilla seed kalguksu and spicy pork. There were 5 of us but the portions were so generous, we had enough food with some bossam left over. The bossam was amazing! The best we've tasted. We all loved the perilla seed kalguksu due to its taste and also bc it's so healthy for you. The owner came by to check how we liked the galbi kalguksu since it was a newly created dish and we told her that it was delicious, seasoned just right. Before the meal, as they brought out the side dishes, they brought out barley rice with denjang on top to mix with yeol-moo kimchi. That was a special touch. We absolutely loved the food there. I saved the info so that we can return when we visit Koreatown again in the near future. Highly recommend this place to anyone who craves exceptional Korean food.

I really enjoyed the creaminess and how it just came together with the sliced pear and candied walnuts. Wish i ordered one bowl just for myself haha. Was sad that the zabuton was not on the menu but they had the chuck flat. Still think the zabuton tasted better! Service was great. Music wasn't as loud as when we first went. It was a great family meal! Can't wait to come back.

Especially for new patrons, the staff is understanding and willing to explain the menu. This is a fine dining experience elevated by many traditional Korean flavors. Everyone gets a large bowl of barley rice, and you can build your own bowl with the many kinds of Banchan. Sauces and soups are also served to round the palate. Priced as fine dining, this place feels like a special occasion choice, or if you're seeking more traditional Korean foods. Parking is available in a private lot, which can be quite the godsend in this neighborhood.

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.
