Anju Teams Up With a Korean Bakery to Launch a Pastry-Intensive Brunch | Eater DC

"I’m excited that Anju, the acclaimed Adams Morgan restaurant, just launched a takeout Sunday brunch in collaboration with O Bread; the menu pairs Korean-infused pastries with savory options and drinks. Pastries available include choco pie, green tea soboro, milk cream bread, vanilla and mocha Swiss rolls, walnut redbean cookies, and red velvet cake, either ordered individually or as a $23 “Chef’s Box” assortment. For savory choices there are three breakfast sandwiches (egg salad, mushroom, and grilled maple pork belly), and drinks include a strawberry and lychee lemonade or a bloody mary spiced up with saam jang. Advance orders begin each week on Tuesday, and pickups are Sundays between noon and 3 p.m.; brunch orders are takeout only." - Adele Chapin

Anju - Review - White Center - Seattle - The Infatuation

"In an alley in White Center is a little bar that serves some delicious Korean food. Almost all of the snacks at Anju have kimchi involved in some way, so you’ll appreciate it especially if you love spice. Everything’s great, but we recommend the fried rice with spam and the popcorn chicken with gochujang. Chase it all down with a cocktail, or take it to-go to eat it at Beer Star around the corner." - Aimee Rizzo

Why rivers have always defined Chongqing - SilverKris

"Inhabited for more than four millennia, this riverside town grew wealthy as a trade hub for silk, tung oil, paper and salt and later served as training grounds for the Huangpu Military Academy during World War II; many Ming- and Qing-era buildings remain, including guild halls and temples, while streets bustle with modern hawkers selling spicy noodles. Preservation efforts by local figures have restored period furniture and antique interiors in key buildings, and the town today is a clear example of how river trade shaped local urban development through merchant shops, trade associations and temples." - Chris St Cavish

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!

Being around this area you expect late night food after walking all day at Universal and avoiding bad food at the Hilton . WHAT A GEM 💎 THIS PLACE IS !!!!!!

The establishment's exterior presents a reserved appearance; however, the interior atmosphere is remarkably welcoming. The quality of both the cuisine and service was exceptional. Parking options include street and valet services.

I arrived on a Friday night around 10 and waited about 25 minutes for a table. The vibe was great with outdoor seating, string lights, and lively patrons. The food matched the atmosphere; the corn cheese and tteokbokki were outstanding, and the spicy pork was worth it. I highly recommend returning!

Fun and laidback atmosphere. Great for large parties and late night cravings. The fried chicken was deliciously crunchy and yummy. Parking is tight. They have valet or if you're lucky, you might be able to find street parking.

Went on a weekday to watch the 49ers game. The price was very reasonable for the chicken combo with the fries and corn cheese, which also includes a free soju or beer. They were nice enough to replace the free drink option with makgeolli instead as well. The food was really great and service was awesome. No complaints overall. I'll definitely be coming back when I visit LA again (hopefully to watch the Korea soccer game during the World Cup!).

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..

If you’re looking for authentic Korean food, this isn’t the place. The menu feels more like a mix of mediocre Korean-fusion dishes than true Korean cuisine. Positives: The waiting area is cozy and inviting, with comfortable sofas and a relaxed vibe. Sports fans will appreciate the multiple TVs showing various games. Despite only having two servers, service was friendly, attentive, and impressively fast. Our server checked in several times to make sure we were taken care of. Negatives: Unfortunately, the food fell short. Most dishes were either overly sweet or bland, and the drinks were overpriced. We ordered several dishes to share. The Kimchi Bacon Pasta was a miss — mushy noodles smothered in melted cheese with bacon that had an odd, fishy flavor. It didn’t seem to know what it wanted to be. The Seafood Cream Linguine lacked both flavor and texture, leaving us unimpressed. Based on these two dishes, this definitely isn’t the place to go for good pasta; for that, I’d recommend spots in The Grove, Larchmont, or other restaurant instead. The Spicy Fried Chicken was dry, overly sweet, thick, doughy coating — more like sugar-crusted fried bread than chicken. The Bulgogi Quesadilla was just okay, but the condiments were disappointing. It came with salsa roja, sour cream, and jalapeños, but the salsa was so vinegary it was inedible. The Clam Chowder was decent but nothing special, but easily the best dish we tried. At $15 a beer, drinks felt unreasonably expensive. After trying multiple dishes, the clam chowder was the only thing we genuinely liked. While the service and atmosphere were pleasant, the food simply didn’t deliver. We wouldn’t go back.

I go here very often to the point where the workers have recognized me and the time I typically go! The asado is one of the best things here and I am always hyping this place up to my friends. Great portion and super shareable. Almost everything Ive ordered on the menu is a hit. I do think out of all their fries the bulgogi ones are the best. We've even ordered more of the basic items on the menu like the spicy ramen which im sure is just the package kind or the corn cheese and it jut taste even better. I still frequently order the spicy seafood fried rice or the seafood pasta because I really cant find it anywhere else that is this good

Walking into Anju House feels less like arriving at a restaurant and more like you accidentally wandered into someone's backyard barbecue, if someone had a flare for Korean fusion and talent for hiding parking space is like they're a part of an escape room challenge. Even the valet can be challenging, so an Uber or a scooter in the trunk might be a good idea. The vide is like Mi Casa es su Casa without the old Korean grandmother staring you down. Anju snacks to be enjoyed with alcohol I am boy they lean into it. So do cocktails are everywhere, all engineered and designed to make you forget the menu reads like a crossover episode of a Korean street food challenge, and cottage food cookoff. Okonomi Yaki Fry's?. Is this Japanese, is it Korean, is it American? Buried under kewpie mayo and takoyaki sauce with chili powder and Bonito flakes (aka kastuboshi, aka hanakutsuo, aka gattsoobushi, aka yummy seafood flavor) I really enjoyed this delicious identity crisis. It reminds me of myself. The dukboki is classic Korean street food of rice cakes, drowning in a sweet and spicy sauce. Not overly sweet, and not overly spicy, it's actually bland. So I think it caters more towards an American style third generation Korean taste bud than than a traditional, scorch the roof of my mouth and make the heat sizzle my mouth style. Which makes it perfect pairing with alcohol. In fact, it makes me want to enjoy more cocktails. Then there's the cheese corn, which is exactly what it sounds like corn and cheese. But who knew something so simple could be so dramatic when grilled on a flat iron to perfection and has a stretchy cheese bathed in creamy roasted corn that has a nice chew and goes well again, with cocktails. And Anju house is a great place for cozy dinner party, part Korean drinking den, chaotic fusion experience, and it really works. The foods are great. The drinks are better and the parking is boss. Thank you for the staff and service for being a patient host.

Food: 4.6/5 Service: 4.2/5 Value: 4.4/5 Came in on a Friday night around 10 and had to wait about 25 minutes to get a table. The vibe here was incredible, outside seating, string lights, lively patrons, the whole gambit. The food didn't lose to the vibe. The corn cheese and the tteobeoki was incredible We also had some spicy pork which was definitely worth the price. Strongly recommend coming back!

We're down in LA and found ourselves in Korea Town, hungry. Found this place on yelp and went for it. Awesome ambiance with sweet staff and great food. The dukboki rose was my favorite - creamy, slightly spicy sauce with rice cakes. It was my husbands bday and we brought some cake with us. They gave us a bottle of rice wine on the house as a present! The "bottle" was plastic and the rice wine was like a saki that was still fermenting. they served it in large golden bowls. Super fun. Thanks!

First got to the place and tried finding parking. However, we didn't find any so instead we paid for valet. Then waited for about 45min-1hr, there was a dodgers game that day, which was understandable. We got called in after, and the waiters were great and understanding because we still didn't know what to order. Luckily, everything we ordered was amazing. Food came out in a timely manner as well! The fries were great, there was this ranch like sauce but tasted more like a tangy ranch, close to like a salad dressing. Okonomiyaki was very delicious. Was crispy with a soft texture inside. Same with the cracked corn. I did not understand the condense milk, which was a bit scary, but honestly if this is your first time, you should try it, it's addicting. The chicken was also great, the crunch was amazing and the batter to chicken ratio was perfect. I would get that again. Overall, the ambience was not too loud and the restaurant was clean. Restroom was also very clean. Would go here again if it was not too busy.

Anju House never misses. Every time I come I get the Kimchi Bacon Pasta and it is always amazing. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. This time we also got the Bulgogi and I think it might actually be even better than the pasta which says a lot because the pasta is my go to. We tried the Original Chicken too. My friend ordered it and it comes pretty simple with sauce on the side. Personally I like chicken with a little more seasoning but if you are into something lighter this is a good option. The vibe here is what makes me keep coming back. Cozy, cute, and perfect for dinner with friends. The string lights give it such a warm feel and it is also a fun spot if you want to pregame or celebrate a birthday. They have watermelon soju and plenty of drinks to choose from. Overall it is one of my favorite spots to hang out, eat good food, and just enjoy the atmosphere.

Just moved to the area from San Diego (shout out Convoy Korean Food!). This place was so cozy and had such a cool vibe. We sat outside and while it was quiet when we went, we could envision this place getting super loud on weekends in the nighttime. Service was super quick, they came out with the food probably within 10 min or less. The Korean Fried Chicken was pretty crunchy and served with this green onion salad. Very strong onion flavor but cut through all of the richness so this was a really good combo. Kimchi Bacon Pasta was really good, I will say though that I didn't taste much of the Kimchi since it was mostly creamy. But overall very good anyway. Will definitely be coming back and telling all of my friends and family (bringing my dog too since I think they're dog friendly!)

One of my go-to spots in Ktown for late night bites and a good hangout/date spot! This most recent time I visited, I ordered the Bulgolgi Bibimbap and Korean Fried Chicken and both of them were pretty good. The bibimbap was served in a hot stone pot which kept the food warm, but I wish it was a bit hotter so it could crisp up the rice at the bottom. The rice dish itself was good though, a good mix of rice, egg, veggies and meat which meshed altogether with the sweet and spicy gochuchang sauce. The Korean Fried Chicken was tasty too. The chicken was fried nicely and had a crunchy and crispy batter coating. Covered in the sweet and sticky sauce, it was yummy. However, I wish the chicken was more juicy and less dry though. It also came with some rice cakes and garlic which I liked as well. The ambiance of this place is really nice. I love sitting outside in the covered patio with all the lights and décor, super vibey. The service was pretty good as well. For parking, it's street parking and valet only. There is a parking lot next to the restaurant, but DO NOT park there, you will get towed and there's signs explicitly saying do not park there. My friend got towed there once :( The food is a bit pricey for what it is, but I honestly like the vibes of this place which makes up for it. I recommend this place and I will regularly keep coming back here!

Went on a Saturday evening around 11:30pm and it was packed but no wait which was nice. Service was decent but hard to get attention of waiters as there was only 1 or 2 servers covering the entire floor. We ordered a set combo with came with budae jigae, a small portion of rose dukbokki, and a soju of choice. I don't know if it was worth it TBH. The budaejigae was good portion for 3 but the dukbokki was tiny. We also ordered the kimchi pancake which was alright in our opinions. I think we've tried better. Overall, the food is fine given its Pocha style and good drinking food but wouldn't come back specifically just for the food itself. They had a lot of good drink options but mainly soju and beers, no full bar.

this place has good vibes, great to bring a larger crowd. it has more space than jjan. got the corn cheese and the rose dukboki, I prefer the rose dukboki at jjan a lot more. I think the sauce has more flavor and a kick to it + noodles and more sausages we went on a weekday at midnight, there was street parking. our food came out quickly. good place for larger groups and a vibe. I personally prefer jjan over here but I would come here for a larger group and I didn't want to wait an hour at jjan

Famished after a concert and looking for a spot open late, we stumbled across Anju House. Don't let the exterior fool you. While it looks like a house, it's completely converted into a pub/restaurant with a rather large seating area in the "backyard" for large groups. We put down our group on the waitlist and got seated within 15 minutes, even though 2 people in our group was still stuck in traffic trying to leave the parking lot after the concert nearby. The five of us already there decided to order a bit of everything to try it all. Since we were a larger group with a larger order, the food did take a while to come out. We split the okonomiyaki fries ($13.95), bulgogi fried rice ($20.95), seafood pancake ($25.95), and bulgogi dukboki ($25.95). We were so hungry that everything hit the spot and we ate up practically everything except a piece of the seafood pancake and the garnishes on the other dishes. One thing we forgot to do that you should always do is order the pancake extra crispy. It really makes a difference! We all also wanted some caffeine for some energy since we were exhausted after the concert. We tried ordering the Vietnamese latte and other coffees, but they were already out. We ended up ordering cans of Coke and Diet Coke ($2.95) and an iced peach tea ($5.95) instead. All in all, we appreciate the late night Korean hot food, the minimal wait to be seated, and the large tables available for groups. You can valet for $5 or find a decent amount of free street parking nearby.

This place is nice, big, they have a nice deco, the restrooms were clean also the restaurant, their food is really tasty, all we try was delicious, but honestly the service was not good, staff was very short they have just 2 guys doing their beast, for so may tables, it was a busy day everyone came to watch a dodgers game and they were short in staff, the kitchen was fast though, we didn't wait much for the food, also when we ask for a picture the guy describe the plate very different than what we got, at the end he excuse him self and gave us a complementary dish.

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!

Fun Ambience, not necessary what I was expecting. But it feels like you're a sort in an outdoor/indoor alleyway that's eclectically decorated. Got the pokey plate which wasn't as spicy nor flavored as like a traditional taco, but I enjoyed all the extra Ramen, dumplings, and sausage. A friend Got the kimchi, pork belly, and spoke highly of it, reporting good caramelization. The waiter actually forgot to bring her order, but was very kind about it and there's no hard feelings. Had to get these very cute social mixes in the fruit. We preferred the pineapple over the watermelon but both were good. Definitely a cool place to go for some drinks and food.

Ambiance is really nice and great restaurant for big groups! Food is the typical pocha food. I had my birthday here and the server accidentally gave my cake to the wrong table. However, they did go get a replacement cake for me from paris baguette! (I really did appreciate that!) The table who got our cake and just left with it are a$$holes. Would definitely come here again, and always recommend this place for birthdays since it is so spacious and has a good breeze of air in the outside patio. :)

Anju house is a cute pocha with good food! I went on a Sunday night, so it was pretty empty, but the service was still decent and the food came out quickly! I can imagine how it would be hectic on Saturday night, but I think the vibe would be a lot of fun! They have a large seating area and a photobooth on site.

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.

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!

A very nice and fun house that has been turned into a place where you can have Korean style tapas, drinks, food and desserts. It's like being taken thru a portal to some outdoor retreat area and the ambiance and vibes are awesome. Their menu has a variety of items from a variety of Korean and fusion items. I saw that their Korean fried chicken was amazing so I had started off with their Furikake Fried Chicken which was a great choice cause I couldn't stop eating. Next on the list for me was the Kimchi Bacon Pasta which was nice and creamy and I loved the little hint of spice that went with it. I was already full by this point but lastly had to get a taste of one of their Small Anju (small plates). After going back and forth between so many items I figured the Bacon Wrapped Asparagus would be nice. It has a little bit of Korean rice cake in it so it added a chewy texture which was nice. Lastly for a birthday they serve some S'more's which was presented very nicely and added a nice touch to the outdoor vibes. Good service too as everyone was attentive and overall a great time!

The place was hard to find because there were no pylon signs on the building. The main seating area is in the back patio area while the restrooms and kitchen were inside of the main building in the front. Excellent service provided by the friendly and attentive staff. We tried 8 or 9 different dishes over 6 hours of drinking and only the fish cake soup was pretty good. The rest of the stuff we ordered were mediocre at best.

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).

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

If you're looking for authentic Korean food, this isn't the place. The menu feels more like a mix of mediocre Korean-fusion dishes than true Korean cuisine. Positives: The waiting area is cozy and inviting, with comfortable sofas and a relaxed vibe. Sports fans will appreciate the multiple TVs showing various games. Despite only having two servers, service was friendly, attentive, and impressively fast. Our server checked in several times to make sure we were taken care of. Negatives: Unfortunately, the food fell short. Most dishes were either overly sweet or bland, and the drinks were overpriced. We ordered several dishes to share. The Kimchi Bacon Pasta was a miss -- mushy noodles smothered in melted cheese with bacon that had an odd, fishy flavor. It didn't seem to know what it wanted to be. The Seafood Cream Linguine lacked both flavor and texture, leaving us unimpressed. Based on these two dishes, this definitely isn't the place to go for good pasta; for that, I'd recommend spots in The Grove, Larchmont, or other restaurant instead. The Spicy Fried Chicken was dry, overly sweet, thick, doughy coating -- more like sugar-crusted fried bread than chicken. The Bulgogi Quesadilla was just okay, but the condiments were disappointing. It came with salsa roja, sour cream, and jalapeños, but the salsa was so vinegary it was inedible. The Clam Chowder was decent but nothing special, but easily the best dish we tried. At $15 a beer, drinks felt unreasonably expensive. After trying multiple dishes, the clam chowder was the only thing we genuinely liked. While the service and atmosphere were pleasant, the food simply didn't deliver. We wouldn't go back.

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
