    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.

    Surprisingly good for a small place inside the supermarket. Udon is OK, rolls are good, mussels are great!

    Whenever I have a Udon, Kimbap, or Baked Mussel craving, I come here to eat. Cheap food and it's also legit.

    I need to update this review. I have been here throughout the years and have seen many changes. It…read morehas been 13 years since my original review and it is due for a big change in review. Hangari Kalguksu is doing really well for themselves! It is good to see. There have been so many changes, but I am not a fan of the changes. What was once meticulously fresh prepared side dishes are now generic looking out of a jar side dishes. They have started to feature more things and have expanded their menu, as well as expanded their shop so that it is much bigger. Still packed! Parking is still valet and a hassle. The waiters and waitresses now speak perfect english, which was nice. Kalguksu is still very good. Overall, it feels more commercial than homely now. As a commercial restaurant, it is good. However, not a place I would travel for anymore. I can get this experience from most local spots. I am keeping this review at a 5 star, because it still is worthy of a 5 star. However, it is a lesser 5 star than 13 years ago.

Parking is always a pain in Ktown, but they offer valet for around $5, which makes things a lot easier. This time we ordered the Pork Belly + Jowl Bossam Combo (Large), and I have to say the jowl was the star of the meal. It was super tender and even better than the pork belly. They give you everything you need to make your own wraps. We also got the Budae Army Kalguksu, and the portion was huge. If you're a fan of army stew, this was fire. It came loaded with Spam, sausage, cheese, and plenty of their knife cut noodles. This place gets pretty busy, so expect a wait during peak hours. Even with a full restaurant, the service was still friendly and attentive. I'd definitely come back for the bossam, and next time I want to try more of their other kalguksu dishes .

Quiet, intimate, clean. Honey butter chips: For me they are a must try. Very sweet and unique and perfect for snacking during the meal. Thin, crispy, flavorful. Scallop pancake: the scallop pancake works so well, the scallop is crunchy and the side of sauce goes very well. Tuna tartare: I would definitely order this one. The bone marrow is a very subtle but nice addition, the tartare is dominated by the sesame oil and needs nothing more. Tartare comes in a generous portion Pork jowl: must order if you like pork. Good quality, cooked perfectly, pairs really well with the chili oil. So good with the accompanying rice Corn latte: order if you like unique desserts. It is sweet, has the hint of saltiness from the foam, a very faint corn flavor, the jelly adds great texture especially paired with the coffee flavored bed of shaved ice. I loved it but it's not for everyone

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.
