Tried Anju House and was really impressed! Furikake Fried Chicken (5/5) – Wow. Boneless, super savory, perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Even the pickled radishes on the side were tasty. Animal Fries (4/5) – Fries were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of sauce—flavorful without being too heavy. Cracked Corn (4.5/5) – Nice and crispy, almost like a fun twist on Mexican street corn. Ambiance: Great spot for dates, groups, or just hanging out—chill and stylish vibe. Service (3/5): Staff were friendly and checked in often, though one dish came out about 20 minutes late and servers seemed a bit distracted at times. Overall, would definitely recommend and would happily go back!

What a hip joint! So cool! Delicious fusion food from Korean with inspiration from Mexican, etc… definitely a fun place to hangout on the weekend with friends..great selection of music on the background as well .. love the spicy garlic fried chicken.. quesadillas with Korean beef is so comfy .. get the combo cones with their signature corn puff and a bottle of beer to share..

It was really perfect. The food was delicious, the service was so nice, and the vibes are spectacular. We were able to walk in on a Wednesday with no issues. I used to be a big fan of Yellow House cafe, so I was a pretty bummed when they closed. But I love what Anju House has done with the place. You can feel the charm of the old restaurant beneath the modern updated decor. I feel like vibe is flexible: you can enjoy the traditional, cuter cafe experience like what Yellow House had during the day and transition to a more pub-like environment at night. Our servers were so nice and helpful. They made great recommendations except maybe the Mayo Shrimp which wasn’t as crispy or saucy as I would’ve liked. The kimchi bacon pasta is as yummy as ever and sooo creamy. The Korean fried chicken with green onion salad they recommended was really good. And I went to town on the Animal Style Fries. I was driving, so I couldn’t drink. But I feel like it would be really fun to enjoy some beer or soju along with your meal. It honestly was such a perfect experience. The menu is huge, so I’d love to come back to try more items along with more kimchi bacon pasta.

We’ve been going here for years, since it was Yellow House. Great food, we love the carbonara and penne pasta, as well as all the sides like the tteokbokki, fries, noodles, rice and things. We have noticed that the food has noticeably decreased in quality the past few years, while also increasing in price beyond the price of inflation in that time. So it’s a 3/5 in 2025, but a 4/5 to 5/5 in previous years. On Sundays there is free street parking nearby. The valet in 2025 is now $5, which is not worth it for the area

honestly wish i could rate this place higher but i came away not very happy with my experience, allow me to explain why. my friends and i came out to k-town on a saturday night for a show at the wiltern and decided to stop for dinner here before. our show was at 9:30 and we arrived around 7:30. the yelp waitlist was super helpful and with it we were able to seated as soon as we arrived as a party of 5. we took a few minutes to look over the menu and ordered our drinks & apps. a bit later, maybe 16 or so minutes we also ordered entrees. the food took a bit to come out but nothing terrible, however it came out staggered to the point that my entree and another ones of my friend’s entree did not come out until we had to leave the restaurant for our show, at least an hour after we had ordered either dish. we basically just took them to go, and our waiter was very apologetic and told us to come back and ask for him so he could give us some soju on the house. i thought that was nice, especially since earlier in the night another member of the staff had gifted a free bottle of lychee soju (my friends and i joked it was likely because we had ordered so much food lol). however, in our rush to leave, my friends and i did not notice they charged us for the “gifted” soju. i will be coming back because the food was delicious (we loved the rice cake appetizers & the cracked corn) and the atmosphere is really nice, i just hope i have a better experience when it comes to the service. maybe a less busy time might be the best time to go.

This was a great find. We had originally planned to go somewhere else but they weren't able to accommodate a vegetarian. We ended up coming to Anju House and are so happy we did. The portions are big and for the price I think it's very reasonable. The food was well spiced and tasted good. The atmosphere was also very nice especially the outdoor patio area. It looks like it would be a fun spot to come at night and would definitely be more lively. Service was also quick and we didn't have to wait too long for our food to come out. Insta: @TheShahLALand

I finally found the restaurant with beautiful views and interior design,and the delicious food! The noodles were just spicy enough. And we all love the cocktails! If you are not in a mood for soju,then please try their cocktails!

This place is SO cute & the staff really take care of you! We came here to celebrate my nephews birthday & had a great time. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the tables are all setup out back on a big screened in patio. Lots of TVs if you're interested in catching a dodgers game. I liked that it felt casual and cozy, and kinda makes you feel like you're at a family cookout. The menu is huge, with traditional Korean, fusion, and straight up comfort food (hello animal fries!). We tried the fried rice cakes & sausage, the sausage & sweet chili sauce were fire; could have easily eaten two orders! The cracked corn was definitely the sleeper hit, didn't expect it to be so good. The bulgogi quesadillas were good, next time I def want to try the bulgogi stir fry. We also had the tofu kimchi, this was a huge portion! I really wanted to get the okonomiyaki but was too stuffed. We tried several beers, krush was pretty good. Our server recommended the makgeoli, a rice wine...it's tough to describe but kinda reminded me of a slightly sweeter unfiltered sake. Our server was so awesome, very attentive & just a genuinely kind person. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town. Ps. Don't skip the Photo Booth on the way out!

Really cute Korean restaurant that has plenty of outdoor seating, TV's to watch sports, and great pocha-styled food! We ordered the kimchi bacon pasta which really amazed us. It was rich, creamy, cheesy, and had all the right flavors. We also got the spicy seafood fried rice which came on a hot skillet. They were generous with seafood portions, as it came with clams, calamari, and more. The lot next door will ticket you if you park there unfortunately. Anju only has valet parking (which I believe is $5), but if you look around long enough you'll find some free 2 hour street parking.

Such a cute place for a meal with great vibes. In the heart of ktown you know parking is going to the tricky. Do not park in the lot next door. There is valet parking available. It is located in a residential area but for popular meal times it might be hard to find street parking. Service is prompt, and you get seated as soon as you enter the restaurant. The interior is really nice, almost feels like you're dining at a friend's house. Decorations are super cute too! It's such a great place for a group gathering and they have late night hours which is a great benefit. Yakult soju 10/5 - so delicious. Not too sweet and mixes so well with the soju. 1-2 pitchers for a small group is perfect with dinner. Kimchi bacon fries 4/5 - really good flavors. The bacon is cut in small bits which is nice. The sauce is a little on the gooey side and drenches the fries. The fries get soggy quickly, that's my only complaint with this dish. Cracked corn 4/5 - this is definitely a unique dish. The corn is fried and has really good texture. Kind of like a softer corn nuts if you will. I did find the flavors a tad on the blander side, if it had more spices I think would make the dish better. Kimchi and pork belly 4/5 - cooked on an iron skillet the sear on the pork belly is really nice. Kimchi adds a nice flavor as well. That being said, I do think this dish lacked some flavor and more spices would have really elevated this dish. Seafood pancake 5/5 - so delicious! Good texture, super flavorful and you can taste all of the seafood that's in the pancake. Definitely one of my favorite dishes of the night. Kimchi bacon pasta 5/5 - another solid dish. Sauce was delicious. Really flavorful and the pasta is cooked perfectly. Fried chicken 10/5 - really crunchy and batter is light. It doesn't look like it on appearance but it's quite flavorful too. I loved the pickled salad and radishes that come with it too. Definitely my favorite dish of the night. Really cute find in ktown. Must try!

Anju House had a spacious and comfortable waiting area in the front of the establishment. On a Thursday night, it was not overly busy, but it was difficult to flag down someone to get us seated even though I signed up on the yelp waitlist and my table was ready. Since it was a weekday, there was plenty of street parking in the area, but I could see there being difficulty finding parking since they offer only valet parking and the lot is not very spacious. The plates were relatively big and the pricing was very reasonable. The squid and pork belly was flavorful. I wasn't a huge fan of the okonomiyaki, since the edges weren't as crispy as it looked. The staff after getting their attention were hospitable and they left my table alone after food was brought out. For this type of space, I felt like that was appropriate. Overall, this is a good spot to catch up with friends over some food and drinks. Ambiance: 5 Food: 4.5 Service: 4.5

Anju House is the new Yellow House with much of the same classics as it was before! This is my second time coming to the new Anju House and it's always such good vibes here. When you walk in, it looks like a tiny shack lol but when you actually see the dining area, it's a very aesthetically pleasing outdoor backyard patio area. It doesn't really feel like you're eating outdoors at times as well with some of the decor, making you feel like you're almost in a cabin in some parts. You definitely have to go see it. The food is solid as well. I always get the kimchi bacon pasta; this has been a staple here at Anju House and the previous Yellow House. It is so flavorful. I only wish there were options to add meat to it like beef or chicken. We also ordered the rose ddukboki, which I wasn't a huge fan of; the flavors didn't taste like the rose I'm used to and tasted more like a pepper sauce to me. Also ordered spicy korean fried chicken. The chicken was very tender, juicy, with an crunchy outer layer that gives a mild little kick with the spice. I thought the spicy flavor was alright; I think I'll try the other flavors next time. Also got the Pork Belly and Kimchi which honestly was alright to me. The pork belly was nice and had a charred/grilled taste to it. A whole bunch of kimchi too that was slightly grilled. Overall, the flavors were good but did not give the WOW factor I was used to here. This place ranges between a 4/5 and a 5/5 for me throughout the times I've been here and at Yellow House. I thought the flavors were slightly lacking today but honestly I was pretty impressed last time so I'll update this review the next time I come with hopefully 5/5 stars :)

Today i visited Anju House and ordered the Penne Carbonara. This Korean / Argentinian establishment had a very back door summer type of vibe with the layout when headed to the seating area. The server was well versed with the menu and gave great recommendations , moreover his showcase of great customer was appreciated The Penne Carbonara was a classic and traditional dish that played on the tastes of; the saltiness coming from the peas and bacon, the creaminess of the milk and cheese, and the perfectly al dente Penne.

This place is a little bit of a hidden gem though it is quite popular. You can easily miss it on the street if you didn't know it was there but is quite nice and bigger than expected on the inside. The service was amazing and attentive all night long and we were seated immediately. Our food came out quite promptly while definitely being made to order and honestly everything was amazing, not a single thing to nitpick. The dumplings were stellar and the sauce was perfect, the carbonara was quite good, had excellent seasoning and spice, the bulgogi was cooked perfectly and savory, and the fried chicken was absolutely perfect and the sauce coating was delicious. Absolutely no reason not to miss out on this place if you're in the area. Phenomenal food!

10/10 Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and even better food! This place is the perfect late night spot!! The food comes out so quick and it's all so yummy. I forgot to take a picture of the garlic fried chicken, but everything we got was AMAZING. The food is a little pricey, but the portion size is meant to be shared, so it actually isn't that expensive. The dukboki was 30$ and was enough to feed 4 people easily. They do have limited parking, but if you come late night you can easily find street parking. Check this spot out!

Anju House late night restaurant in K Town offers insane vibes and quality food. The ambiance was so good and cozy, the vibes were amazing late night. The service was super friendly and fast as well. The food was all good and had good flavors. The portions are huge so sharing is definitely required. Each dish was super filling so come with an empty stomach. The pasta was super good so I would definitely recommended that item if you like creamy pasta. Anju house is a really good spot to catchup with friends!

Checked out this local Poncha spot and wasn't disappointed. They have very good set menus for folks who want food and drink. The combo we got had soju, fries, chicken, and corn cheese. The wait wasn't long at all for a random Thursday evening around 7/8pm. They take Yelp reservations as well. The one critique is that it's fully outdoors, so if it's cold or hot, dress accordingly. It was freezing when we went, and even with heaters, was still cold.

We've been loyal since the Yellow House days, and while Anju House got a glow-up and rebrand, it still kept the heart and soul of the OG spot. The ambiance? Still chef's kiss. Think cozy backyard dinner party - string lights, soft vibes, and a space that just makes you want to stay awhile. We kicked things off with my forever favorite: the seafood cream linguini ($21.95). Creamy, seafoody, dreamy. Basically my comfort food soulmate. The KFC chili garlic chicken ($25.95)? Not spicy at all, which was fine, but honestly... bb.q chicken still holds the KFC crown for us. Also it came boneless which I usually don't vibe with. I like a little bone-in crunch, you know? Would've skipped had I known! Bulgogi rice ($20.95) was solid! I lived for that crispy rice layer at the bottom, but the meat was a little tough. It still scratched the itch. We finally tried the army stew ($32.95) - perfect for a chilly night. It came bubbling over a little stove but we had to turn the heat off halfway because the noodles started turning mushy. (RIP noodle texture) Not super flavorful or spicy, but warm and satisfying. Pro tip: don't wear white. I walked out with a polka-dotted shirt of red broth splatters. Next time I'm bringing hot sauce and a napkin bib. Service? On point. The guys were fast, friendly, and didn't judge my stew-splattered self. Parking? Classic Ktown chaos. Circle the block a few times for the full experience, or just save your sanity and valet it for $5. Still a fave for casual date nights and creamy pasta cravings.

Came in on a Sunday night for a late dinner with a few friends. Parking was easy since the streets were empty at this time of day. Walked in (and walked pretty far into the restaurant since there's a pretty long hallway entrance) and we were immediately seated. There's quite a lot of seating but it wasn't too busy. We ordered the following - soju yakult cocktail (~$22) - rose teokboki (~$25) with fried sushi rolls (~$4) and cheese (~$2) and no fishcake/sausage (to keep it vegetarian for our friend) - kimchi pancake (~$20) - miso mushroom pasta ($20) Miso mushroom pasta came out first and it was good, no complaints. Next, the kimchi pancake. Then, the tteokbokki. We saw some cheese sprinkled on it and asked if this was the cheese we get for the additional $2. They said it wasn't, went back into the kitchen, brought out a plate of melted mozzarella cheese, and slid it over our tteokbokki. We thought it was a bit strange that our soju cocktail also had not come out yet (we expected it to be the first item to arrive) so we flagged down our waiter to ask about it. He didn't see it on our tab so he added it as he was picking his earwax over my friend's cup of water. Finally, soju came out and all was well besides the fact that my friend's water potentially had our waiter's earwax in it. Our bill came out to be $150 after tipping 18% which was much higher than we expected. My friends and I were busy fighting to pay for the bill (as it goes) so we didn't get a chance to check the itemized receipt thoroughly. After we left, we were thinking about how much the total bill was and realized we were probably mis/overcharged. This one is on us for not doing our due diligence. Usually, I wouldn't mind the mishap with our dishes being forgotten and needing to remind the waiter. I'll also take the blame for the incorrect bill, but I definitely mind the lack of hygiene at this restaurant.

TLDR: Food was ok but nothing to scream about. Definitely on the better side of the other pochas in KTOWN LA. The vibes were great and after couple crates of soju party was poppin. We came with about 20 people for my friend's birthday. The waiters were super accommodating as we called in advance but a lot of the party came a little late. We were quickly seated and ordered a bunch of soju. As you can tell in the blurry shaky pictures, the drinks were flowing even before the food came but I still had to feed the phone hahaha (sorry for the blurry pics lmao) Soon we were taking shots with the waiters and having a good time. Idk when but the waiters kept bringing soju and drinks on the house for the birthday boy which was super nice. They sure know how to party and keep their guests happy! Inside has an outdoor vibe which was super nice. Many tables and large area. This is perfect for large parties! Just call in advance. Parking is a bit tricky. I would just pay the couple bucks for valet although the parking lot is pretty tiny so hopefully there's still space. If not. There is street parking but good luck searching! It's ktown. Make sure to lock ur doors and surveillance on. Now for the food. -Garlic Furikake Chicken: Not enough garlic and boneless. Pretty sweet. Honestly similar to orange chicken lol if that's ur vibe. Crunchy exterior and lots of chicken though. Korean flag to remind you Kowea Numba Won and some parsley cuz someone said parsley elevates the dish. Not too impressive but good drinking food. -kimchi and pork belly: exactly what the name implies. Pork belly wasn't too fatty and nicely grilled. Kimchi was also grilled. Again good drinking food. Nothing worthy of a Michelin star. -cracked corn: the Mexican corn man can do better. Hard fish to share with large party but seasoned well. Just not worth the price. -Spicy Korean fried chicken: reminds me of chicken tenders with gochujang sauce. Actually looks like the Kirkland brand frozen chicken nuggets lol my favorite. Not bad though. Just nothing special. The scallion salad on the side was a great touch. Really gave it that Korean flavor from the name. Also both chickens came with pickled radish. Pretty standard. Again great drinking food. -Asado plate. Asked for medium rare. A but medium but not complaining. Good texture great sauces. Don't expect steakhouse quality but it is pretty good. Grilled corn was my favorite. -Kimchi Pasta: why did everyone hype this up so much. It's good. But I feel like I can make it at home lol. Not much meat but good kimchi and cheesy flavor. Call it korean Mac n cheese. Garlic bread was tasty haha. One thing to note... they gave us plastic utensils. Overall had a lot of fun. For the amount we drank and ate, split between all of us, price wasn't crazy. Thanks for hookin us up with a bunch of soju anju hahaha. I will definitely come again for a fun night out with my friends. Food is better than a lot of pochas out there. Just keep ur expectations low. This isn't fine dining. Without hookups, pretty standard pricing on alcohol and food.

Low key casual spot in Ktown. Large patio seating and good service. Food is solid Korean food. Really enjoyed the bulgogi bibimbap as the clay pot got the rice nice and crispy. Corn cheese was excellent and the steak was perfectly cooked. The sweet potato fries were surprising as they were sprinkled with powered sugar and super thin.

Service was friendly. Love the ambiance and late hours. Feels cozy like a backyard with spacious seating! Ordered the asado combo steak was tender and seasoned well. It was a gooood dish. The grilled veg was delicious! fries were cooked fresh (you can ask to upgrade it to animal fries like we did!) We opted for cracked corn which was addictive! I like how it's lightly battered kernels with a hint of lime and sweetness. Salad had a lemon dressing. Nothing crazy with romaine, tomato, and onion, but was refreshing. And if you don't drink, you can get 2 sodas with a combo instead Would come again!

Had a girls' night out at Anju House and it was an easy 5/5 experience! SERVICE: 5/5 The staff were incredibly sweet and attentive. They patiently answered all our menu questions and made us feel very welcome throughout the night. FOOD: 4.5/5 We tried the bacon pasta, tteokbokki (dubboki), garlic fried chicken, kimchi pancake, and seafood pancake. Everything was delicious, but the bacon pasta and garlic fried chicken were definite standouts. It was super flavorful and satisfying! AMBIANCE: 5/5 We sat outside and loved the cozy, backyard patio vibe. The decor made it feel like a relaxed gathering at a friend's house. It got a bit chilly in the evening, but they had electric heaters nearby which was a nice touch. PARKING: 3/5 Parking is the only downside. It's either street parking or valet. Street spots can be hit or miss depending on the time, so plan ahead or be ready to valet.

Such a cute spot in LA! walk through the house to get to the restaurant held in the back. Cute decor, heaters, sports/ anime playing on the TVs. Service is good and speedy. The food has been good the couple times I've tried it. The kimchi bacon fries are delish. Classic soju options as well as the pitchers of soju. The melona ice cream bar one is sooo good.

This place has easily became one of my favorite spots in Ktown. Honestly can't wait to go back. Everything was packed with flavor and was easily shareable. I was personally a fan of the kimchi bacon pasta and their pork belly. Service was quick and they do have valet but there's street parking up and down the street.

The vibes on their outdoor patio are UNMATCHED! So beautiful and every dish we got was delicious! The Bacon Kimchi Carbonara was creamy, flavorful, and the noodles soaked up the flavor of the sauce nicely. I love Okonomiyaki so the Okonomiyaki fries were my favorite. The fries were super crispy and all the sauces made it taste exactly like Okonomiyaki. The Spicy Chicken had crispy pieces of dukboki & veggies along with the chicken (this is the best bang for your buck! super filling and delish).

We came here for a late dinner around 9pm. It was difficult to find street parking as they don't have a parking lot. They had a sign saying they had valet parking but we did not see an attendant. Once we arrive we weren't greeted by anyone for about 15 minutes until someone came from the back to help us. I would still say it was worth all the trouble because the food was delicious! We got four different dishes, which did not come out all at the same time. The kimchi pancake was crispy and chewy, but did have a little bit of a fishy flavor even though we confirmed it didn't have any fish ingredients in it. The Bulgogi Dukboki had a great flavor but was a little oily. The best tasting dish was the spicy chicken and cheese, it was sweet and savory with a little bit of heat. The chili garlic fried chicken was good but a little too sweet for my taste. They have a large menu and everything looks so god! If I lived closer I would definitely come to try more.

Went on a Thursday night on a group of 7 and the wait was maybe 10-15 minutes. I really like the interior and the decorations. They also had a photobooth that I didn't get a chance to check out Kimchi bacon fries were ok but I would recommend the kimchi fried rice and spicy korean fried chicken. We also got a couple yakult soju pitchers which were pretty good. Overall a little pricy but it's typical for LA ktown and I would come back

My favorite cafe in Ktown is back under a new name!! I was so excited to see it come back to life, I used to come to Yellow House Cafe all the time. Came here at 3:00 PM with a friend for a late lunch, and it was empty besides a couple of other parties here. We put our name on the Yelp waitlist kiosk at the front but no one was there to seat us so we sat in the waiting area for a bit before just walking to the back patio area where someone sat us immediately. There's a big photo booth station on the inside now, and the bathrooms are really nice! We got the to share (which has always been my favorite), and we also shared the Okonomiyaki Fries. Plenty for two people! Kimchi Bacon Pasta: 5/5, just as good as I remember. The garlic bread is fluffy, and the creamy sauce is delicious as ever with its pieces of kimchi adding kicks of flavor. The pasta is always a perfect al dente, and the portion size is large. So comforting! Okonomiyaki Fries: 5/5, love a good battered french fry, and these were perfect especially with the toppings on these fries -- regular french fries would not have held up as well. I loved this variety with the sweet sauce and kewpie mayo, and the bonito flakes were delicious. This place has never failed me, and it continues to provide large, generous dishes of comfort foods with cool twists. I've tried so many things here and love everything. The staff can be hard to flag down at times, but the food comes out super fast and the staff are quick with requests when you do catch them. There is $5 valet parking for this place, but we were lucky to find street parking. Highly recommend trying this place out, I can't wait to be back!

Wonderful Happy Hour specials!! So many options for after work without breaking the budget. We loved the cracked corn, kimchi pancakes, chili shrimp and cass beer to tie it all together! :) Entrees are decently sized too! We shared a fried rice plate and it was the perfect amount for 2.

From the moment we walked in, Anju House delivered on every level. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, you can tell the staff takes pride in creating a great experience. The food was absolutely outstanding -- every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and made with clear attention to detail. And the ambience? Just perfect. Cozy, stylish, and thoughtfully designed to make you feel right at home. Anju House is awesome for birthdays, I celebrated my 33rd bday here.

tried this spot last night and it was pretty good! we wanted a late night bite and it didn't disappoint. the pork belly and kimchi was delicious :) the dukboki was good too! i enjoyed the noodles that it came with. i will say it is pretty pricey for the portion sizes. service was okay, the servers were sweet. i do love the ambiance! it was outdoor seating and the decor was so homey. there is very limited parking though, with mainly valet ($5) or street parking, but it's LA so it's expected.

They got rid of the BOGO... sad sad sad. I have yet to find a food item that was good here, sadly. - Penne Carbonara 1.3/5 A very very sad pasta. Look at the noodle to topping ratio. Slightly creamy, tasted like reduced milk and added cheese. - Bulgogi Tteokbokki 1.7/5 No sauce, wouldn't really call it a Tteokbokki.. it's like stir fried rice cake and overcooked sweet beef. - Calamari 4.2/5 Fried really well. The calamari on the inside is slightly stringy but overall yummy. - Corn Cheese 4.7/5 Basic corn cheese, not too sweet. - Garlic Furikake Fried Chicken 1.8//5 The chicken is completely overcooked. It's dry. Fried well and tasted okay. Valet parking

came here bc i heard great things abt it on tiktok and did not disappoint! food: fire food but prices are up there, will come again to try other items + grilled pork belly with kimchi ($35): sooooo good! super tasty and delicious, pork belly grilled to perfection and paired perfectly with the grilled kimchi. the green onion salad that comes with it is a chefs kiss and a MUST! service: little to no wait on a saturday off hours around 4:30pm, seated very quickly. servers are friendly and efficient, checks up on you from time to time! ambiance: MUST COME HERE FOR THE VIBESSSS i love how whimsical it is because it's giving glamping and gives major Korean pub vibes. people come here to watch sports like Dodgers / Lakers, and the volume is perfect! bathrooms: very clean, like how there are individual private stalls so you can take ur time in there ~ parking: street parking or valet. not busy at all when i went but i can see how horrendous it can be when it's a busy night. i even drove past a sign that said NO PARKING FOR ANJU HOUSE so don't let u or anybody mama park in the neighboring plazas or u bouta get towed

Overall food okay for the price, but fantastic experience. My party and I went for my friend's birthday. My side of the table enjoyed the kimchi bacon pasta, bulgolgi nacho fries, fried dumplings, and chili garlic friend chicken. Be sure to mix the pasta before enjoying (the bacon and kimchi was all at the bottom so top had little flavor). Fried chicken was yummy, but you can get it for better price at other restaurants. The fried dumplings were alright. The seating is outdoors with a canopy-like "roof". Clean, it was nice to have heaters around. Servers were friendly and offered a slice of cake for my friend's birthday. Would not come again, just because I feel like food was not worth the price. Very creative menu though!

First time here last night and the server recommended the spicy chicken and it was soooooo good. Kinda like a tangy Korean bbq sauce. That with the rice cakes was the best bite it was so tasty. I can't wait to come back and get that again. Flavors were perfect. As far as front of house, just walk to the back lol

Immaculate vibes. Wide menu selection, yet everything we ordered was a hit. The cracked corn is a must order and is highly addictive. The kimchi pancake was crispy. We also got the leek and pork belly and crispy gopchang with garlic, which paired well with the soju. The rose tteokbokki was satisfying, and the seafood risotto was delicious and creamy. As for drinks, we got two bottles of jinros back (sooo smooth) and a melona pitcher, which had a slight slushy texture and was a great "chaser." The staff was so kind to give us a bottle of soju on the house.

Korean drinking food in a nice outdoor patio. Went on a Sunday afternoon to watch the Dodgers unfortunately lose. However, had a good time having some food and drinks to make up for it. Ordered fried chicken, budae jjigae, kimchi pasta, rose tteokbokki, and a few beers and soju. Everything was delicious - especially the rice cakes and pasta. Everything was cleaned out by the end of the game - would def come again!

I used to come to Anju House to study and hang out with friends back when it was Yellow House. While it was a bit upsetting to see the store replaced and remodeled, with some updates to the menu, it still holds a whimsical charm, now with a touch of Korean pocha vibes. I recently came back for dinner with my fiancé and was impressed by the food. We ordered the Omanayaki fries, seafood risotto, and honey shrimp pizza. Everything was delicious, though we felt we could've skipped the pizza, since it used a tortilla as the base. The prices were a bit on the higher side but then again, what isn't expensive these days?

The food was pretty much bar food and side dishes that pair well with soju. We all shared an order of the friend chicken, kimchi pancake, bacon pasta, and chili shrimp. Everything was pretty good. There's nothing really special about it other than it's kinda off the beaten path. It was very busy and service was alright. We had to flag somebody down each time we needed something. There's so many options in ktown that I am not sure I'd be back. Also they have warning signs everywhere to not park in the plaza next door because apparently the security guard makes it his mission to call the tow truck to ruin your night lol

Anju House is where...Yellow House used to be! I KNEW it looked familiar! Like its Ktown predecessor, Anju House retains its homey-like feel, very quaint, very cute, very cozy. The patio was definitely revamped, and it is much more welcoming and modern looking. I love the string lights in the back - just a perfect place to catch up with friends and have a warm meal. We were starving when we came here, hadn't eaten all day. We got seated immediately. We ordered: SEAFOOD RISOTTO (5/5): Insanely delicious. Very heavy and creamy. You'll probably be stuffed within a few bites...or maybe I was just eating too quickly lol, but I definitely needed to split it into two meals. Even as leftovers, this tasted AWESOME. KIMCHI BACON PASTA (4/5): If you like kimchi or spicy stuff, this is def for you! I felt like it was a bit too spicy for my liking, especially since I have reflux lmao. The pasta was cooked well, and it was spicier than expected, the type that builds. So this also became a second meal! CRACKED CORN (5/5): Absolutely incredible, a must order for an appetizer! I had never heard of this dish before, but it was basically fried(?) corn in what tasted like light tempura/egg coating with Mexican spice and condensed milk drizzled on top. I know, sounds chaotic. But it was mind-blowing. The light crunch of the fried exterior mixed with the spicy sweet toppings...*chef's kiss* You won't regret getting this! SPICY GOPCHANG (4/5): Gopchang is always good. This was a dish of beef small intestines. It was wonderfully cooked, a bit crispy on the outside, gushy on the inside, bursting with flavor. It's a bit expensive for how much you get, but I suppose gopchang is always on the pricier end. Minus one star for the price but the taste was awesome. Portions for the pasta are HUGE. Like truly so worth the price and amazing value. Service is fast as well. Since the restaurant is all outdoors, it is dog friendly!! Valet parking at the front, but you can probably find street parking around the area like we did!

It was really perfect. The food was delicious, the service was so nice, and the vibes are spectacular. We were able to walk in on a Wednesday with no issues. I used to be a big fan of Yellow House cafe, so I was a pretty bummed when they closed. But I love what Anju House has done with the place. You can feel the charm of the old restaurant beneath the modern updated decor. I feel like vibe is flexible: you can enjoy the traditional, cuter cafe experience like what Yellow House had during the day and transition to a more pub-like environment at night. Our servers were so nice and helpful. They made great recommendations except maybe the Mayo Shrimp which wasn't as crispy or saucy as I would've liked. The kimchi bacon pasta is as yummy as ever and sooo creamy. The Korean fried chicken with green onion salad they recommended was really good. And I went to town on the Animal Style Fries. I was driving, so I couldn't drink. But I feel like it would be really fun to enjoy some beer or soju along with your meal. It honestly was such a perfect experience. The menu is huge, so I'd love to come back to try more items along with more kimchi bacon pasta.

I am very familiar with ktown but had not been to this place before so I decided to give them a try. They have valet parking outside ($5) and plenty of street parking so you won't have trouble finding a place The interior itself is really cool and gives home vibes, which I actually liked a lot. Our server was a really friendly person that gave us a lot of recommendations. We ordered a bulgogi plate that just tasted too sweet and he took it off our bill AND offered to have it remade. Easily one of the best services iv had in a while We ordered the shrimp, some rice, bulgogi plate and other appetizers on the size. The food overall isn't pretty good. What I really liked was the vibes and they have plenty of bug tables so its perfect for big groups

How am I just finding out about this place? Randomly decided to try a new place in Koreatown and Anju House did not disappoint. Good food? Check. Good atmosphere? Check. Good drinks special? Check. Dog friendly? Check. [ Parking ] Valet parking available for $5 cash or $6 with venmo/zelle. Street parking is also available if you could find any, but it's a bit harder to find parking near this location. [ Food / Drinks ] Pretty casual place for Korean food but I absolutely love the vibes here. The restaurant is technically considered outdoors as it's in a covered patio-like area with heated lamps. Honestly giving off backyard friends and family gathering vibes. LOVE IT! They are pet friendly and we brought 3 with us. Now onto the food and drinks: They have BOGO soju before 9pm everyday. Such a good deal! Just make sure you arrive earlier than later. There was no wait at 7pm, but recall them saying the wait was roughly 45minutes~1hour around 9pm. We ordered their furikake fried chicken, sweet potato shoestring fries, bacon Kimchi pasta, and fried rice cake with sausage. Everything we ordered was delicious, but if i had to choose one dish to recommend, I would highly recommend their kimchi bacon pasta over the other dishes. Can't wait to come back again to try the rest of their menu items!

This is one of our go-to spots and will always be a part of our go-to spots. The kimchi pasta here does not disappoint. Every time we dine here, we get the kimchi bacon pasta; it's always tasted phenomenal. The squid and pork belly are also very delicious. The right amount of veggies is added, which are also super tasty and cooked beautifully. Every bite was so relaxing and satisfying. The atmosphere here is super laidback. There are lots of screens, which is a great spot to pick if you ever want to watch a game with friends. Study sessions here are also great; lots of big spaces, and the noise level is minimal on a regular day. The staff is top-notch. Very attentive and friendly. What can I say? This place has it all.

The pasta with the kimchi, bacon, secret spice blend sauce from here and the garlic bread is one of my favorite meals, I come back here just for it so often! The flavor and crispiness of the chicken was also soo good but the pickles served with them were interestingg (just a tad on the sweet side). And I love corn and cheese so no complaints here! Would definitely get everything again but their menu has so many options so lots more to try and all pretty affordable! We were super full by the end but finished everything so perfect serving for 4!

ordered the budae jigae and penne carbonara and both were under-seasoned and plain. penne could've had a stronger cream flavor and budae jigae needed to be spicier service was the best part of this place. our server was so friendly and energetic it made our experience very enjoyable overall the food needs improvement but the ambiance and service really brought the place together. would be back to try other items on the menu

Located in a residential street and next to another restaurant you first get thrown off walking in because you have to continue walking into the back patio where the magic begins. We all love BOGO and that's what they have with the beer and soju. So sit back have a drink and get ready for some tasty food. The portions are nice and big and the corn cheese and the chicken with beef were off the chart. The photos do it more justice. We finished everything off the plate. The service is good the only caveat is the street parking.

Korean Fusion shareable plates style in a bungalow/outdoor picnic interior. 3 stars because though I really enjoyed the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken (while could've packed on more heat flavor, yet it was a nice blend of sweet and savory sauce on chicken) and side of pickled radish, the KIMCHI BACON FRIES ruined my taste experience here for the most part. The kimchi bacon cream sauce was unappetizing verging on yucky tasting merged with the spread of cheese on top. Ewwww! Like who thought kimchi bacon CREAM plus cheese would taste great together?! Lol. Also speaking of bacon, there was no bacon taste AT ALL in the cream sauce! My guy friend who I shared the fries with also thought the flavor of the fries wasn't very good. I had to ask for a side of ketchup to get that unappealing kimchi bacon cream and cheese flavor out of my mouth and also started removing the cheese cream mixture off each fry I ate so it wouldn't be a waste of fries. I'm sure other people like this flavor combo but the creaminess and cheese mixed in wasn't for me. I tried a bite of another friend's mushroom miso cream pasta... it was okay but too creamy for me. If you're never tried Anju House and plan to since it's appears to be a popular spot, steer clear of the Kimchi Bacon Fries lol. Also, the dishes we ordered weren't super filling for the size and sharing portion. The chicken was satisfying though, but the fries left me not fully satiated because I obviously didn't enjoy eating them. Also, the parking situation was bad. Only option is valet and street parking which is sparse especially in Downtown LA.

Pretty sure this is where Yellow House Cafe used to be, and the menu and vibes of the place are fairly similar to how I remember Yellow House being. I love sitting in the outdoor area in the back in particular, it's super cozy and cute and a great spot to sit and hang out with some friends. Also one of the only restaurants in Ktown that is open throughout the afternoon on weekends and allows dogs :) Service has always been really quick whenever I've been here, despite it being crowded or more quiet. My favorite dish that I've tried here is definitely the spicy chicken with cheese. The dish is so flavorful and has a great spice kick, and has such a generous serving of chicken and veggies, with melted cheese on top. I've also tried the seafood pancake, spicy seafood udon, and bibimbap and all are solid choices too!

Came here late night and was seated very promptly. Parking was a little hard to find but got lucky and found street parking. They also provide valet service as well. Walking in, you are greeted with a very vibey backyard with lots of string lights, tv's, and decorations. They had heaters all around the tables to keep you warm and I really liked how everything was put together. As for the food, it was not anything crazy or special but it was still very good. I really enjoyed the service as our waiter was very kind and attentive. I would order the budae jiggae again since it was very worth the price. The soup was just a little too watery but everything in it was really good. Overall, I would come back here again and try different dishes. It's definitely a place to come with friends to hangout and drink!
