DASOM BY CHEF KANG

My new favorite Korean comfort restaurant in LA. It's so tasty, homey, and comforting, delicious flavors, perfect for family & friends gathering in the cold socal weather, and the price is very reasonable. I love their braised oxtail soup and braised cold pork. Oxtail soup has so many meats, soup is very flavorful, and oxtail is so soft, easily fell from the bone. The cold pork comes with beef bean paste and marinated raw oysters and lettuce. It's fun to make a pork lettuce warp with your loved ones. They also have variety dishes for you to choose from. Service is super friendly, store is very clean. It feels joyful to din in here. Parking space is limited, make sure to prepare extra time to find parking or valet parking $5.

4.5/5 stars We received a comped meal as part of an Instagram collaboration. The meal started off with some awesome banchan! My faves were the fish cakes and quail eggs! I’ve never seen quail eggs for banchan so that was unique! We tried the spam and veggie egg pancake, bone broth beef rice cake and dumpling soup, beef bulgogi, and braised wagyu oxtail. My faves were the oxtail and the egg pancakes! The oxtail was super tender and fatty, and the broth had a savory/sweet taste. The dish also comes with some veggies (like mushrooms) and glass noodles. The oxtail was a little fattier and saltier than I prefer, but still super good. The egg pancakes were delicious! Reminds me an omelette. The bulgogi was quite tender and super flavorful. The dumpling soup was solid. It’s carb-heavy and very filling.

Great restaurant focusing on Korean soups and hot pots. The quality and price are both very good. Galbitang is a solid choice. Good banchan here as well.

Chef Kang has created another great space and an incredible comfort menu. Valet parking is $4, and I love the soups and stews on offering.

Fridays are my days off, so I come here nearly every week with my parents. These days, other restaurants have increased their price of food. However, this restaurant is great! Their lunch specials are a very good deal. We order the tteokgalbi, galbi tang, and naengmyeon (which are my favorites). It's good every time I go and I recommend coming here. And the young woman server is always very polite!

Affordable place with good service but the spicy and non-spicy seollungtang were EXTREMELY salty. I complained to the server and it turns out the cook in training put too much salt and did not taste the soup before serving as I overheard Chef Kang and waitress talking. Even the 2nd soup was very salty so I had to keep adding water to dilute the soup. At this point, I was disappointed and did not want to complain any further. They should just serve the soup bland and provide salt and pepper for customers to add to their preference. My tongue is still numb from the saltiness in fact. This was my 3rd visit to this place. The first two visits were decent but this 3rd visit was not pleasant at all. Not sure if I will be going back.

We ordered galbi soup and kimchee soup. Galbi soup was mediocre. Kimchee soup was a bit strange - it tasted like tomato soup. The portions were huge. I had to take two big containers of the Kimchee soup home which I threw out the next day. I liked the servers though. They were very polite and accommodating. I wouldn't go back for those two menu items. Oh, I had to drink water like fish for the next couple days. They were very salty.

I was so hungry I randomly entered this restaurant. Normally, I don't go to any restaurant without checking the reviews. I looked at what people were eating. The young and beautiful lady -I guess she is the owner's wife- recommended me to get beef soup. It was delicious, fresh, comforting, enough to get full. Just perfect. I will definitely go back.

Dasom, meaning "love" in Korean, is more than just a name; it's a philosophy that Chef Kang imbues into every dish served. The restaurant's menu is a heartwarming ode to traditional Korean stews, known for their rich flavors and soul-satisfying warmth. These stews are not just food; they're a narrative of Korea's culinary heritage, perfect for diners looking to find solace in a delicious, steaming bowl of goodness. Perfect Post-Celebration Cuisine Dasom's stews have earned a reputation as the perfect nightcap for those winding down after a night of revelry. Whether it's the spicy kick of Kimchi Jjigae or the savory depth of Doenjang Jjigae, these dishes are known to comfort the soul and revitalize the spirit, making them the go-to for late-night diners in search of a hearty and fulfilling meal. Dasom's Signature Dishes The restaurant's menu is adorned with an array of stews, each carrying the signature touch of Chef Kang. The Army Stew, priced at $40, is a crowd favorite, combining an assortment of meats and vegetables in a spicy broth that has diners coming back for more. Korean Army Stew, or Budae Jjigae, originated during the Korean War when food was scarce. Resourceful Koreans combined surplus processed foods from U.S. military bases, such as canned ham and Spam, with traditional Korean ingredients like kimchi and gochujang to create this hearty stew. Initially a symbol of survival, Budae Jjigae has evolved into a beloved comfort food, representing a unique fusion of Korean and American culinary cultures. Today, it's a popular dish that varies in its recipe and is enjoyed for its rich flavor and as a reminder of the resilience and ingenuity of the Korean people during a challenging historical period. For those seeking something a bit more luxurious, the Braised Wagyu Ox Tail at $59 is a testament to Dasom's commitment to quality and flavor. smaller portion of wagyu ox tail...absolutely divine. The Beef Rib & Bone Broth Soup, listed as the #1 Seller and Signature dish at $16, is a testament to Dasom's expertise in creating meals that not only taste good but feel good. These dishes represent just a glimpse of the culinary treasures awaiting at Dasom. A Space of Warmth and Modernity The interior of Dasom by Chef Kang mirrors the food's comforting essence, with modern decor that pays homage to Korean aesthetics. The warm lighting and wooden accents create an inviting atmosphere, while the artful presentation of the dishes adds a contemporary flair to each dining experience. Open Late for the Night Owls Currently welcoming patrons until 10 pm, Dasom is set to extend its hours, catering to the night owls of K-Town. The extended hours are in anticipation of the demand for a late-night spot that serves top-notch Korean comfort food in a stylish yet cozy environment.

I recently visited Dasom by Chef Kang in Koreatown, California, and had the pleasure of trying the braised beef rib and Chef Kang's loaded beef special Wagyu bone soup. The braised beef rib was incredibly tender and flavorful, with a rich and savory sauce that complemented the meat perfectly. The Wagyu bone soup was equally impressive, with a deep, hearty broth and generous portions of succulent beef. Additionally, the banchan were a delightful highlight. Each side dish was delicious, and I was particularly impressed by the inclusion of quail eggs, which added a unique and tasty touch. The overall dining experience was excellent, with attentive service and a warm, inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend Dasom by Chef Kang for anyone seeking top-notch Korean cuisine.

Went in on a Sunday for lunch. It was just me and my coworker. We ordered two dishes. First dish came out 30 mins later, second dish apparently didn't even go in and they didn't even catch that til we were almost done eating the 1st dish. The food we ordered was their #3 signature dish wooguhji galbitang was actually pretty good though (hence the 3 stars) Wish their service was better.

Food is ok Service was nice I did order (called in) and picked up over the weekend My family said they have been all over tv with their advertising so decided to try them out. I tried the ox tail soup and the beef soup ( 꼬리 곰탕 & 갈비) I'm not a huge fan of army stew as before so did not try. I ordered during 12pm and they were busy and crowded. Parked in the back for quick in and out In front I believe it is valet. Parking in front small and a lot of other stores. I realized this used to be the Yoshinoya. Might come back soup was above average but wasn't great Price reasonable

Came for dinner and got seated right away. The food here is amazing! Delicious home-style comfort food. The serving sizes are huge too we definitely ordered more than we could eat and had plenty of leftovers.

4 stars Came here after work b/c I had a hankering for Budae Jigae (Army Stew - $40). They only had the large serving size which feeds 3-4 people...& I ended up ordering it. Well, let me just say that if you choose to eat alone, you're gonna have 4 servings left to take home lol. Anywhooo...the stew was filled w/ hot dogs, sausages, spam, tofu, kimchi, pork belly, bean sprouts, & glass noodles. If you love a nice hearty army stew, this is the place to get it! 5/5 for taste. Please keep on mind valet parking is $4 after 5pm. And, I wish they had individual servings, but this is just as good. For leftovers, I just had to add a cup of water & reheat for round 2, 3, & 4!

Delicious!! I would definitely come again :) the employees are super quick and kind. Our food came out in around 5 minutes and it was so good! The banchan are delicious; my favorites were the pickled cucumber and marinated quail eggs. We (2 of us) ordered one plate of stir-fried pork belly, and it was enough because we weren't too hungry. But next time, we're also planning on ordering a soup or stew because they looked so mouth-watering. Great food!

Love a good Korean spot with lots of hot soup options. Menu is mostly soups pork belly pepper paste stew - has a good kick, I'd say 7/10 spice level, so you work up a little bit of a sweat but not so much it distracts from the flavor Wagyu beef bone broth - really good, clean flavor of the soup, and generous with the meat portion Short rib patties - good quality meat, nice and juicy, would get again. Pros- Authentic, flavorful Good potion sizes Excellent value for the price Cons- - A little busy during lunch hour (between 12:15-1), was hard to find a seat but then the place cleared out closer to 1 pm - parking - has a small lot but shares it with a lot of other businesses so could be tough

Ah, the newest Korean soup spot in Ktown :'). I'm a big fan of Chef Kang's restaurants, so I was excited to see Dasom come into town. I came on a weekday evening with two friends, and it was fairly empty, though people did trickle in through the evening. I got the Loaded Wagyu Beef Bone Broth (Sullungtang), and this was soooo comforting, homey, and flavorful. Dare I say that this was one of the best sullungtangs I've ever had -- it had such a deep umami flavor. It did not have that milky look that many other sulluntangs do, but I actually prefer mine that way because I feel like it's more natural? It also did not skimp out on the meat, which I so appreciated. The banchans here are another big selling point for me. The assortment was impressive, and they were all so tasty. Will definitely be back when I need to satisfy my Korean comfort food cravings.

2.20.2024 - Lunch for one. Love trying newly opened establishments. With "Grand Opening" sign still hanging above their entrance door, my heart starts racing as I'm excited to comfort and soothe my soul on a cold rainy day in LA. After not having much of an appetite for 2 weeks, driving down from my mid-week getaway to Santa Barbara got me ready to eat. The place is clean and feels open. It's about 12:20pm, but the place wasn't super packed. It's probably still too new. Upon sitting, I was only served the menu. No water or tea for the longest time. Even after ordering, I had to flag down a server and ask for tea. When asked what their most popular soup item was, the Bone Broth Ugly Beef Rib soup was recommended. So that's what I ordered. They give a nice selection of side dishes which were tasty and fresh. I really enjoyed their salted shrimp or fish dish. It was almost addictive and paired perfectly with a hot bowl of rice. If they had this as a side order, it would definitely be one of the top sellers! When the soup arrived, it was piping hot. For $16 lunch portion, they gave a lot of pieces of meat. The soup was good, but it wasn't "wow, blow-my-mind" kind of broth. I also noticed there were dollops of fat floating around. Several of the ribs ended up being too fatty. And the ratio to soup to rice seemed a bit unbalanced. I don't eat much rice anyway and being that I haven't had much of an appetite, the rice portion still didn't seem enough. Overall, service is okay. Food is good for the price that I paid. Perhaps the next time I visit KTown, I'll come back to try some other dishes on their menu. Until next time Chef Kang!

Dasom serves traditional & family-style Korean dishes. If you're a fan of comfort food and love Korean cuisine, then you cannot afford to miss this restaurant. We order a couple of their meat dishes and everything was super tender and melt-off-the-bone delicious. Great service and parking was easy to find, too. Definitely worth a bookmark for future visits.

As a korean I can vouch this place is sooo good. Was craving hot soup and galbijjim so decided to try this place out since it only had 5 star reviews. Totally deserved. Service was super friendly and welcoming! We got the Ugly Beef Rib Soup and the Beef Rib Galbijim (spicy). Super flavorful and meat was tender. Same for the Galbijim. I don't have much to say because it just hit the spot. + they also pack up your food for you which I thought was a nice touch. Definitely check this place out, you'd be supporting a new business too ;)

Just saw this place had its Grand Opening and decided to try it out for soup. It's in a very convenient location in a tiny plaza off Wilshire and the interior of the restaurant is really well put together! We ordered the Spicy Chef Kang Wagyu Bone Broth Korean Pho, Pork Belly Kimchi Stir Fry, and Wagyu Ox Tail Bone Broth soup. From the start, the kindness we were greeted with made us feel very welcome. The Tea they served us with upon being seated was great and very mellow on taste but hit the spot. The Stir Fry came out first and it was rich with flavor and had a tiny kick of spiciness from the chopped up peppers in it. The soup came out shortly after and was still boiling when set on the table! The Spicy Korean Pho was a little spicy but not enough to make you sweat and the Wagyu Oxtail in the bone broth soup was so tender and fatty. I wouldn't hesitate about coming here again this is definitely going to be an upcoming spot in Ktown.

My friend and I came by for early dinner and we were not disappointed. We shared the galbi stew and the pork belly kimchi stir fry. The stew was probably one of the best galbi stew I tried. You could rlly taste the flavor of the meat in the soup and the right amount of spice from the pepper. We also got the kimchi pork belly stir fry. Usually most shops put in more kimchi and less pork belly but its the opposite here. I loved the variety of the banchan. I especially like the fishcake and anchovy stir fry with the pepper to give a little kick. Service was great and they refill the side dishes if u ask. The place was giving minimalist clean look. A good spot to have weekday lunch or dinner with friends and family! The only con I have is parking. The plaza doesn't have a lot of parking so my friend and I had to drive around for parking for a bit. If u try street parking good luck. BUT ur patience from finding parking will be rewarded. The food truly is great.

Wow! The food here is so comforting. My husband and I went here with a couple of friends. We ordered the Pork Belly, Braised Short Rib, Wagyu Oxtail and Bone Broth Soup, Bulgolgi with Onions, and Spicy Thick Beef Bean Paste. Our favorites were the Pork Belly Bossam, Braised Short Rib, and Wagyu Oxtail. Our service was great. Our food came out in a timely manner. The place was new, nice, and clean. There isn't any outdoor seating. The parking lot kind of sucks since it's only valet parking - so it can be a bit difficult on busy days. There are restrooms available.

Chef Kang! That was the Best and Amazing Army Stew I had with my friends! Sooo delicious Including the kimchee pork Belly! Side dishes are so good too! Ofcourse the staff are very friendly goes 200% to take care of us The restaurant is very clean! We're coming back again!

Very impressed with the selection here! I came with friends and am pleasantly surprised by everything that they had. I always enjoy Korean food and was not disappointed at all. However, parking might be a little difficult to find. Luckily there was park in the lot but there's also parking on the street if you're lucky. Overall I had a great time and if I would definitely revisit if I was in the area.

This review was a weekday lunch before the crowd showed up. All I can say is this place makes my short list of places I would eat beef rib soup (Han Yang in buena park, Myung Ga Haejangguk in arcadia, Gung Jung in walnut) The chef was very friendly along with the rest of the staff, the decor gave a clean and comfy vibe. I saw several groups of elderly people (which suggests this place meets the thumbs up from the group that can be pretty peculiar as to where they eat) I actually like the use of the smaller beef bone used for this dish versus the big bone ones at the other restaurants. The banchan was also great especially the kimchi provided. Unfortunately like most Ktown restaurants, parking might be pretty ugly, even though I lucked out this time.

My mom and I went to have lunch here last week and it is worth every dollar. The plus being that it wasn't overpriced like some Korean restaurants tend to be. I had a Vietnamese style pho with a Korean galbi twist. It was spicy but sooooo good. I can't wait to go back and try all the other dishes. The ingredients were super fresh in my soup. And I had so much meat in my soup that I wasn't sure if I would finish it. The banchan was ok but the entrees are the star, as they should be. My mom is super picky when it comes to restaurant food. She has asked for food like meat to be taken back if it didn't meet her freshness standard, and other than saying her soup was salty, she didn't complain. I tasted her soup broth and it was perfectly seasoned by the way. Kudos to Chef Kang. I hope your restaurant continues to serve high quality, fresh food with a reasonable price for many years.

RIP Hanshik fast foods. You will be remembered. As diners enjoy and celebrate what's risen from your ashes. Comfort classic Korean staples at reasonable prices. Great food, great service. Extremely generous portions and lunch menu before 3pm saves you a few dollars on the various items. Everything we had was great: - Beef Bean Paste Stew $16 - Chef Kang Wagyu Bone Broth Korean Pho $16 - Meat & Tofu Korean Fat Pancake $15 The interior is the essentially the same with some small updating. Will be back to try everything on the menu.

First time we tried this place the food was delicious!! The Bone Broth ugly beef rib soup was really tasty perfectly seasoned and the bone broth was delicious on this cold night. The Spicy pork belly tofu gochujang stew was really rich and savory with the spicy pork belly and the tofu. It tasted like my mom's stew. The kimchi and banchans were good and tasty with our meal. The service was meh the first waitress was nice but super busy the other one an older shorter lady seemed upset. Nobody wiped the table so I did it myself. Not in a good mood at all. She didn't check on us and they seemed to have this side area where we could get our own extra bowls and napkins. So I did that while she was busy with the assorting the napkins and menus. She gave me a mean look as I'm getting them and loudly says excuse me. I said to her nobody was helping us so I did it myself. Well that set the mood. Ended up going to that area again for boxes. The couple next to us did the same with getting their boxes and drinks. I guess it was late on a Sunday night but doesn't make a difference?! And I'm Korean felt awkward to be honest.. The ambiance was good. Clean and comfortable.. 9 out of 10 for the delicious food. 5 out of 10 for the service.

I ate bossam, tteokgalbi, and meat-filled seolleongtang. Bossam had a lot of meat and was sliced ​​thinly, making it easy for babies to eat and delicious. The ssam was a little lacking. Seolleongtang is half water and half meat. There is a lot of meat. There are 3 tteokgalbi (rice cake ribs) served and they are delicious. Overall, it was a little spicy. Everything was delicious and they were very friendly. It is said that they will soon sell alcohol as well.

I didn't have high expectations when randomly found this Korean restaurant nearby. But the soup amazed me. There were options for people like me who couldn't handle spiciness. There were quail eggs that couldn't be found anywhere else in the banchan

Went here with a friend to try out the new spot. Ordered their kimchi pork stir fry and soybean paste stew. Personally, I do like my kimchi pork stir fry sweet, but overall it was delicious. I was also blown away by the amount of food they gave for their price point. They give a lot of food! Will definitely come back to try their braised meat options in the future!

The ugly beef rib soup is increeeeeedible. Favorite galbi tong / short rib soup I've ever had. The broth is peppery and kinda like chicken noodle soup broth, and the Dijon mustard sauce for dipping the beef suits it soooooo well. And to think, that with the appetizers for only for $17??? The appetizers are also really good. Probably my favorite kimchi ever. The cabbage was not too fermented or too raw, and the sauce was not over powering. the fish cake and sausage was also a very nice combination. And the Quail eggs were also very good; not too overcooked and with a bit of soy taste. And the smallness of the egg also helped it serve as a nice taste change from the other stuff.

I usually don't leave reviews often, but I truly felt that this place deserved a 5 star review. As soon as we walked in, the employees were very kind and I felt very welcomed. The place has a very warm ambiance with k-pop music playing in the backround. As I was looking at the menu, one of the employees came over and recommended us the Braised Pork Belly, Fresh Kimchi, Beef Bean Paste and Marinated Raw Oyster (bossam). I was skeptical at first because I usually don't like pork because of the scent, but we decided to give it a shot along with the #1 signature Bone Broth Ugly Beef Rib Soup and the Beef Bulgogi with onions. The bossam does take a while to come out, as the rest of the food came out pretty quickly. The bulgogi was okay in my opinion, but my friends that came with me really enjoyed it. The Bone Broth Ugly Beef Rib Soup on the other hand was perfectly seasoned and I could tell why it was their #1 signature menu. There were so many pieces of beef rib in the soup considering it was only 18 dollars, I thought that was very impressive. Once the bossam came out, we were so excited to try it and it did not disappoint us at all. Although I don't even like pork, I really liked that it didn't have that pork smell to it which made it easier for me to eat. The lettuce and cabbage were also really fresh which made it even better. My friends and I really enjoyed the beef bean paste along with the bossam, but the marinated raw oyster was beyond amazing as well. Overall, this place did not disappoint and I'm not surprised as to how busy it's getting. Will be visiting again soon

This Korean place is pretty good! The food is very delicious, the service is nice, conveniently located, The store's decor is a traditional mix with modern, what a cool spot! Popular spot with nice vibes. I like their cold pork for $42, it's enough for 3-4 people to share. The brasied wagyu ox tail for $56 is also amazing, enough for 2-3 people to share, come hot and fresh, served on a little stove, to keep it warm and boiling.

I ordered the Braised Wagyu Ox Tail and it was on point. Plenty of meat and the soup taste is perfect. The price is very cheap compared to what you get. I definetely will be coming back to try other dishes.

Extremely impressed by the food here. The galbi tang is the best I've had and the bone broth pho was also amazing. Service was great too, everyone was super welcoming. We drove in from Huntington beach and this place made it worth the trip. Y'all are awesome keep it up!

Anything with Chef Kang's name is always good. Will definitely be returning on a regular basis. Only negative aspect of the location is bad parking situation

Restaurant is very clean and since it's new, it isn't really crowded yet. This place will eventually be a hot spot to eat galbi Jim (braised short rib), soups, and more. We didn't try their marinated raw oysters but we tried their army stew, short rib soup, and braised short rib. The beef was so tender I loved every bite. Price is reasonable so I would come again.

Delicious soup. I was craving Miyeok Guk and got the most perfect bowl of it at Dasom. I'm a big fan of Chef Kang and this new spot is another amazing addition to his restaurants.

Food is great. We love the food, especially all the bone broth soups, as it's authentic Korean food and it feels comforting. As a young working mom life gets quite busy and this is a great restaurant for our busy family to pick up food and get through the week. What kills this place is the location in a plaza with the most terrible parking. We hope the restaurant does exceptionally well in the coming years so it can possibly relocate to a better location and attract even more customers.

Ordered two items to share, the braised Wagyu ox tail and the bone broth ugly beef rib soup, both specialties of theirs. The portions were very generous, and everyone seemed to take home multiple boxes of food. Service was fast and friendly, and seating was flexible although it might be difficult to accommodate larger groups. While the food was very flavorful, it was also very salty. The ox tail needed a lot of rice to balance out the seasoning and still left us very thirsty after our meal. A better balance with the salt in the soup base and the ox tail would have been amazing!

Food was very delicious and they had a good selection of side dishes as well. What really made the place five stars, however, is the service. Our server, Winter, was so amazing and sweet. Honestly the nicest server I've ever had. She took her time recommending the best dishes and made sure to check in on us frequently.

I brought my daughter here because she loves Pho and I prefer more traditional Korean food when in Koreatown. This place had it both so naturally we stopped by to give it a try. The Kalbitang (Korean Rib Soup) rivals the best places in Koreatown with generous cuts of meat. The Korean styled Pho my daughter ordered had endless slices of beef - I've never seen anything like it! The side dishes were bottomless, but we didn't have enough room to request more because there was so much protein in our meals that we left full. The staff were attentive and super friendly - service was impeccable. We will be back with the whole family next time! Thank you Chef Kang for an amazing reinvention of this place.

The place was good, but the braised wagyu ox tail looked nothing like the photo that they have up in their store or on the phtoos at yelp.... The actual food came out as a soup, but then picture showed braised meat.... It was confusing because we had ordered two other soup based dishes, so we just ended up eating 3 soup based dishes, which was not what we wanted

This stews and soups at this place are amazing and standout among the many options in the Koreatown area. I am a huge fan of Korean style soups and have tried many in the area but I can't stress enough how good their food is here. We got the spicy kimchi pork and the beef bean paste stew. Both were excellent but the bean paste stew was definitely the favorite. So far we have only been able to have it delivered but we are excited to try the restaurant in person sometime soon. Thank you Chef Kang! You are one of our new favorites!

Today I ate at the newly opened restaurant, Dasom and ordered beef stew, kimchi stir fry with pork belly, korean beef patties, ND oxtail soup. First of the the banchan was great especially freshly made kimchi. It was superior kimchi I ever tasted at any restaurant. The beef patties were so delicious and perfectly seasoned.. well worth of the price. The oxtail tail stew was heavenly and meat was so tender and perfect amount of vegetable. The kimchi stir fry pork belly was also so delicious. Lastly the oxtail bone broth was amazing the soup was like real hometown soup. I found my new go to Korean restaurant.

The menu is a little overwhelming as they all start looking the same, but for the recipe and food, it is full of flavor and all comes together. Great to share or to get on your own. Worth eating here and it seems like anything you order here will not disappoint.

What was good about Dasom? Almost everything... At this point, I trust this Chef Kang guy and his restaurants. I especially enjoy that all restaurants have distinct personalities and vibes. For Dasom, this is the place to go for the simple meals. The quality of meat and soups are fantastic, really keeps the old school ingredients with better prep methods. So if you're down for a no-hassle lunch/dinner, this is the place. HanEum probably has a more sophisticated menu, but Dasom is probably the spot you'll frequent. Seoul Night is kinda my "KTown secret" but those don't really happen anymore...

I was in the area with mom and niece and we were hungry! Went to my yelpers for some recommendations. What a great location. OMG! We ordered their top 3 Bone Broth Soups why not right? Well they were all delicious but my favorite was the short rib :p. The Broth was NOT salty but full of flavor. We were served with the sides included rice. We wanted to try the braised ox tail but they only have a 2-3 person serving. That means, we have to come back! Waitor was very friendly and attentive. Ambiance was nice, calming and clean.

I'd give it three stars because of the servers but I know this may affect the business so giving it four purely based on taste and price. Our servers were all over the place - forgot our order and charged us for a drink we never received.

Wow! I have been to many restaurants in Koreatown but by far the food was amazing and for sure will be back with my friends and family. The service was up to my expectations!!!

Welll.. Talking is very cheap. So you gotta try this place. Food quality is excellent and prices are something that I appreciate to Chef Kang. My best wishes !!

Best authentic Korean restaurant ever, it's like being in Korea ! Prices are very reasonable, staff are super friendly , new favorite spot in Korea town. Picky Elderly Korean recommends it and that means it's the best ! Authentic To notch Korean restaurant that will not disappoint.

Had gotten takeout- food was very flavorful and good but everything (soup and banchan) was too salty. Had to put water in my soup to drink it. I'm not sure if there was too much salt/MSG or whether I had to tell them to put less salt

One of the best Korean hot pots I've had. We ordered the braised wagyu ox tail and the spam and veggie egg pancake. The pancake tasted more like an omelette and it tasted very nostalgic. The oxtail hot pot was so delicious it exceeded my already high expectations. The oxtail was so tender and the meat fell off the bones and the broth was savory and sweet. I would definitely comeback for their hot pot and banchan. All of their banchan was good and we requested seconds of each. Also the price was very reasonable for the amount of food we got. The hot pot was $59 and would be able to feed 3-4 people. Would definitely recommend to a friend for Korean hotpot

This Korean spot is awesome! Ordered the Korean style pho & #1 on their soup menu (forgot the name). Very rich bone broth flavor without being too salty! They give you sides which were so tasty. Loved the quail eggs, kimchi was fresh and crunchy, & the little fried fish with rice IS SO GOOD! , great add on to soup! This place is also very inexpensive. For sure coming back!!
