"Koreatown’s Olympic restaurant is a lesson in keeping the classics, well, classic. The old-school spot does homey Korean fare for throngs of local fans, all while flying under the radar of more prominent K-town spots. Try the panfried fish and spicy pork barbecue as well as the restaurant’s namesake (in its Korean name) cheonggukjang, or fermented soybean stew." - Eater Staff
