Update my review. Stopped by dinner with friends. I tried eat at this place whenever I visited in LA. Food(4/5)- We ordered kimchi pork belly jjim as usual and 3 of grilled yellow croaker also grilled cutlassfish. I didn't enjoyed fish much than meats but this time I really enjoyed eat grilled fish here. My friends always ordered grilled yellow croaker one per person. If we're 4people, we ordered 3 of that(excluded me). Their banchan was good and I never disappointed this place food. Grilled yellow croaker or grilled cutlassfish was amazing good and we enjoyed eat. It was a bit much foods for 4people but we totally clear our dishes. Service(5/5)-There was busy and they didn't take any of reservation for a table at this time. I always called them first for order and get a table because kimch pork belly jjim need time for boiling. The waitress was very kindly as family because my friends were regular here. Ambience(2/5)- its an old place but very clean place. Some times you can see they didn't clean a table who just left but they won't let you seating there while they're clean a table for you. Overall(4/5)-Absolutely I loved this place in the area and will go to back again to again this place. If you are in the area and look for eat korean food, you should give a try. One of my friend was first time here and she absolutely love their foods. read more

I always hate it when an establishment treats patrons differently for whatever reason. It was so obvious my husband and I were given half of the number of banchan compared to every table in the entire restaurant. They only reluctantly gave two more after I inquired.. still half of what other tables received! Initially I thought it was because we didn't order their big pot/stew. But two sets of couples near us ordered similar individual dishes - they were surrounded by bountiful complimentary side dishes. Yes I get it - we were the only non Korean patrons. But we were paying the same price as everyone else.. why treat us any differently? Foods might be tasty but we didn't enjoy being treated as second class patrons. read more

The food is excellent. We had the kimchi jim . With pork belly. They pre cook it for you and finish it off at the table by cutting the kimchi in edible portions. It was perfect with the purple grain rice. The costs was 46.99 but this easily can be shared by 2-3 people maybe even 4 if you get another dish. We also had the spicy fish casserole. No sure of the name but it's one of their specialties. Come with a white fish and radishes. Tasty and delicious. I would like to try the other dishes they have as it's clean and food is 5/5. The service is a little slow and hard to read the menu if your not Korean. read more

I used to love to come to this place. My last experience was so horrible. Worst customer service!!! I hope owner reads this review and make some changes. First of all waitress try to dictate what you should order vs what you want to order. I asked for extra broth since kimchi soup was salty. Waitress refused to give me broth so I end up putting water in the soup. Why would I pay my money and receive this kind of service?!?! This used to be one of my favorite spots.. I will never go back!!! read more

Expect the unexpected.... when you least expect just walked in because originally I was planning to go to another restaurant but it was closed and I was very hungry and couple of men were outside smoking and they said that it was a good restaurant so we decided to walk in and started ordering and food served fast and tasted good.. but when we were walking out after our meal and a couple walked in and they said it was closed but the sign says it was open .. and for another half hour~~ I thought it wasn't fair for the couple who might have been hungry but I walked out happy otherwise read more

I was invited to a dinner on thursday evening by a friend. It is a small restaurant that is known for kimchi sam geup sal (pork belly) stew. Among the 5 of us, we ordered gal-chi jorim( korean spicy brazed beltfish) and the kimchi sam geup sal stew. The gal-chi jorim had many flesh and lots of white raddish inside. I like to eat the soft raddish rather than the fish, so I liked it. Many good banchans are served as well and when you ask for more, it quickly got refilled. The kimchi sam geup sal stew was good too. It had many sam geup sal meat inside which added chewiness to the soup. That was a new form of Kim chi stew which I have not tried so far. The waitresses are kind of hectic and the restaurant was pretty busy. But they did not forget our soju or extra refill of rice. If you want good special sam geup sal kimchi stew, it won't hurt to try this place out. read more

Horrible customer service and Over priced. We went as a group of 3 women and ordered 2 dishes (Osamu Bulgogi for $31.99 & Seafood Pancakes for $25.99) for lunch. However, Their recommended to order more dishes. she said that the osam Bulgogi is the amount for one person only. but, there was an amount that 2-3 people could eat rather than one person and food was hog fat only. anyway, we were orders 3 dishes and total was $89.00+tip. (also, over charged more 2 rice). Way overpriced. So I won't be going back again. Too many better places to get Korean restaurant at over 30 bucks per person!! read more

I got their Pork belly stew with Kimchi (special menu #1 - $36.99 unlike other stew menu had to added $2 extra for tofu). It was okay, nothing special but a bit pricey Service, I really can't complain, but one waitress was very rude and seemed she doesnt wanted to be there. Not coming back. read more

This place gets five stars because it best does it was meant to do: cater to older Koreans. The menu is filled with classic Korean dishes like kimchi chiggae, gongchi (grilled pikes) or budae chiggae. My father LOVES this place and pitches for it for most family outings. For the younger foodies, I would maybe try a different spot. read more

Good food but the owner charges you for to go box and that is pure greed !!!!!!!! Never been charged for to go box

Authentic homestyle Korean food! I'm not Korean so it does help to have a friend who can read and speak Korean present since most of the staff mainly speak Korean. This restaurant is a local hole in the wall where you'll find many regular patrons. As a first time customer, I felt that the service and the food quality was awesome. The serving staff was always checking on us and making sure we had enough banchan (side dishes) and water. My friends and I had a good amount of beer constantly flowing, and the dishes were amazing. My favorites include the bimbimbap, seafood pancake, kimchi jjigae and the bulgogi. Yet Gol is located in the corner of the plaza on the first floor. It can be a little hard to find since it does not have an english sign above it for non Koreans. If you can't stand a place because its overly Korean, then this isn't a place you should visit. If you are more interested in getting real homemade Korean food, then definitely check out Yet Gol. read more

Please avoid this place. I came with a group of 8 people and we got kicked out. The server and host yelled at us for why we didn't call and reserve ahead a time. We told them that we were okay waiting but they said they couldn't take our party and served the next 6 people that came in. If you are looking for a authentic Korean restaurant, try Soban or Jun Won restaurant. read more

You walk in and it's very clean. Servers remind you of the typical Korean moms and aunts. They will make suggestions on if you need more or less food. Food is amazing and comforting read more

Came here over the weekend because I had some relatives visiting from Korea. Food was alright, not great, but also not the worst. Experience was terrible. - asked one of the servers if side dish refills were free (saw on here that they charge for side dish refills (what kind of Korean restaurant does that???). The server reluctantly said they would not charge for side dish refills. -people were smoking outside the entrance and tick cigarette smoke was wafting into our area next to the door so I closed it a few times and the server snapped at me demanding to know why I kept closing the door. -they charged us for takeaway containers (which is fine) but after we closed out the bill and discovered that we needed 2 extra containers, the server wanted to charge us again for the containers. Like seriously? I just spent $350+ here and you're going to nickel-and-dime me for a to-go container? Brought this up to the server as well and she basically screamed at us demanding we pay for the containers. Won't come back. Can get better food and hospitality elsewhere. read more

This place serves the best pork belly kim-chi stew in town! It's a must try dish! I strongly recommend it!

Ate here because my friend loves this place. He is a super loyal customer here. gobchang was good. My wife liked it as well. Portions are good. But the price is super expensive. It tastes good but wow...it's expensive for relatively cheap food in Korea. Still if you want gobchang this is a good place to get it. read more

My review solely from the service, not from the food. My partner kept telling me how great this restaurant was, up until we LYFT ourselves here and they told us to sit by the door. My partner requested another table (it was not crowded and he is cold easily), and the waitress replied that they wont be able to serve us due to their closing time at 9 pm (it was 845 pm and YELP and their door sign posted they close at 10pm). read more

This is my family's go-to place whenever we want some really good kimchee jjigae. They have a special that serves about 5-6 people. They bring a big pot right to your table filled with kimchee, fresh pork belly, and assorted veggies. We always ask for tofu, and when the mood strikes, we even ask for a side of ramen or udon noodles. The soup is always on point - just the right amount of spiciness and the perfect kimchee flavor. As the soup cooks at your table, the pork bellies release their fat and it add more unctuous deliciousness to the soup, and the longer it simmers, the softer the kimchee becomes too! If you're not in the mood for kimchee soup/stew, I definitely recommend their seafood pancake (big enough for the table to share) or braised fish (they have different kinds of fish that are braised in a spicy soy sauce) - both favorites of the fam-bam. If you're in the mood for some great Korean food and a table full of banchan, this place is worth a visit. Just be forewarned: the service isn't the best. read more

Kimchi stew was the worst ever in any restaurant!! The nasty smell of pork made me drop my spoon after trying to eat it about 4 times. Stay away from this place. read more

Brand new restaurants are usually pretty good to go in the first couple months. I make it a point to try any new places. We ordered sanghyupsol kimchi jjim and ojjingo bokkum. Basically kimchee soup with porkbelly and spicy squid. The kimchee soup was just whatever and the pork wasnt cooked tenderly to my liking. Looks like they rush the pork cooking and when it comes to porkbelly, you should always cook low and slow to get a tender consistency. This dish is just average to me. 2.5* The spicy squid was pretty good with a decent cook and spice. I think they need to remove the tough top skin layer (i dont know what thats called) as it interfered with the tenderness. This dish is above average with a good cook (the squid wasnt rubbery) and i would say is 3.5* Overall, the food is basically 3* level which is disappointing for a brand new restaurant. Maybe i didnt order their specialty read more

The place is kinda small but we got good service. The Pork Belly Hot Pot was pretty good. The Seafood Pancake was really good. The Fried Rice was just okay. Anyway, we got plenty of food and ended up paying $15.00 per person. These days that's a really good deal. read more

Don't get me wrong, I love the food but yesterday 5/3/2018 I was refused service. Yes it was kind of full but had 3 empty tables. I was told: no wait, no reservation, yes full as she makes a leave gesture with her hand. I go back just to tell her I'll wait, she said "oh, no wait to long (waiving her hand shushing us out)" I see now 2 tables that are empty are now taken. Oh hell no! i kept my cool and asked why now those tables are no longer available, I was told that they reservation...... wait what now you have reservation. read more

While the food here is actually pretty good, I would never come back to this restaurant. My parents and I came here to eat dinner for my visit home in a while. When we came, there was a dog seated at the table across where we were sitting. I asked who appeared to be the owner if they allowed dogs, and she said no (obviously, it was an indoor food facility). She then hurried over to that table and told the man seated there to hide the dog. I just assumed he was the owner? All of the servers looked to be busy and stressed managing the tables, and people were complaining about the service. The table next to us didn't get their utensils, rice, side dishes, or water even after their order came out. A party of 8 was complaining that nobody was paying attention to their burning food and empty side dishes. Also, since when did we start charging for side dishes refills? This restaurant needs to step up their game for staff management and customer service. It seems like they have years of horrible reviews and still continue to run their business like this. If you're in ktown, please look elsewhere for authentic Korean food. read more

My new favorite K town spot! My wife and I came to Yet Gol on a Saturday night in a group of 8. The service was excellent--friendly and super attentive--and the food superb. We started with the seafood pancake, which was a bomb of flavor, and it only got better from there. Best bibimbap (in a huge hot stone!) and bulgogi in K town. And we walked away (after tax, tip and plenty of beer) at around $20/person! read more

The best food in LA. If you really want the best, cleanest, and traditional korean food, this is where those food shows should be coming. The environment, food, and service from the waitresses here are identical to Korea's best traditional food. Don't go anywhere else for Korean food. The meat, stews, and service makes this restaurant a go to place for those who miss real home cooked meals. Kimchi jjigae is golden and so are the korean pancakes. I sleep early on Fridays so I can come here on Saturday morning weekly! read more

Had dinner here with my friend and everything was so good!! They gave us so much banchan which tasted very homecooked-by-mom and their spicy pork was so yummy, definitely recommend! I also love their seafood pancake and the kimchi-jjim (seriously so freakin' good!). Very casual atmosphere, great food, large portions, friendly staff, great place for Korean comfort food as if it were made by mom. I'll def be back read more

We did a pick up order and i wanted to ask how many rice will come with the food since i had four people in the group, when the waitress picked up the phone i asked how much rice will come with the order, she got annoyed saying very rudely why im calling when its super busy and just hung up the phone... so rude and so sad because i actually really liked the food here read more

The waitress ahjumas are super friendly here. This is one of the more authentic places in Koreatown. The nice thing is that they actually have a pretty spacious, free parking lot. The food is Jeolla Province style (southern region) food, and there are about 12 banchans (side dishes). The stews are great here- would definitely come back. read more

Best food and best service. Just like Korea in taste and service. Kimchi jjim and the emos service here can not be found elsewhere! read more

best kimchi jim in town!! like being in korea!!! Delicious!! Try the bin de duk( pancake), and jun gol for sure. But all the food is good even the side dishes!! read more

Yet gol is an amazing find. The food here is excellent. It's so authentic that they don't even have a sign in English. The bibimbap and the bone broth are my favorite. The grilled mackerel and the seafood pancake are also a must get. I love all the their side dishes too! Everything I've tried here has been great! read more

I heard the food might be pretty good but I probably will never find out. They need to learn how to run a restaurant 101. If you have cannot handle a big group and accept other customers at the same time common sense dictates you should do one of the following: 1. Close the restaurant and not accept other customers or 2. Tell customers in advance that there is a big reservation and certain food items may take longer than usual or not available at all. Or 3. Close the business and look into another line of work. I wasted a good 30-40 minutes dealing with the clueless waitresses, before walking out. The main issue was the waitress took our order, came back 15 minutes later , saying an item is unavailable. When we asked for another items, she came back 5 minutes later saying the same crap. At this point, I asked her which items were available , and she did not seem to know. Finally asked for 2 items, nd if one of them was available. which we said we will take. So off she goes to the kitchen to find out if any of the dishes are available or so I thoufht. 10 minutes later she comes by and asked if we wanted to order something. WTF. We walked. read more

Came here for my mom's birthday dinner last night. Her dad found this place and it's basically a hidden gem, seeing that it hasn't even been claimed yet. They are super OG authentic Korean, so don't expect to see English anywhere on the menu. But just order the first thing on the very left of the wall menu. It's literally the best pork belly kim chi chigae I've ever tasted and they prepare it right in front of you. It's literally mouth watering. Highly recommend their bindaedok as well. If you've never been to Korea, walking through the doors of this restaurant is basically the same thing. read more

The food is so tasty here. I've been here several times and every time the food is so delicious. The intestine casserole, the stone pot mixed rice is unique and yummy and the braised fish taste so good on top of steaming hot purple rice. I definitely recommend and have found myself coming back time after time. read more

Great food and great service. If you want traditional Korean food, I would highly recommend this place. The kimchee jjim is awesome and their Korean pancakes are to die for. The staff here are very friendly and has a family friendly environment. read more

Samgyup kimchi jjim is the jam, but pretty much everything I've eaten there has been delicious. The grilled fish is another solid go-to. The ladies can be a little curt if it's closer to closing time, but I'm Korean too so I know it's just how the service industry rolls sometimes, nothing personal. read more
