LA Wangbal, 엘에이 왕발

I had some of the best blood sausage I've ever had here! The pork is moist and flavorful and the buckwheat noodles with perilla are seasoned just right. The level 2 spiciness of the pork was great for us as people who are somewhat good with spiciness. I really enjoyed the side dishes too, especially the shishito pepper soaked in some kind of sweet savory sauce.

I wish I lived closer because I would come here all the time. Great lunch, and everything was delicious (especially jokbal and kimchi). Owner lady was really nice too. Parking was a little hard on Saturday lunch time, but it was expected (valet only during peak time). Thanks for being so sweet to our toddler!

Loved the food here! Best bo ssam pork belly I've had. Loved it with the radish. Cabbage was cut a little thick but taste was great. Chive pancake was also a major win. Super crispy and flavorful. Highly recommend checking out this new place!

Found this casual eatery with super yummy Korean dishes I had: 1. Bossam - boiled pork belly with Napa cabbage 2. Gamja Tang - spicy pork short rib soup with potato 3. Banchan

Amazing! Highly recommend the jokbal or pork trotters (feet)! Got the lunch combo available from 11-3 i think which is just under $20. I typically don't eat a lot of pork but wow they seasoned it so well, it tasted the best compared to the bossam. Tofu soup was also very delicious with the jokbal! Great banchan. Beef bulgogi was also very good/tasty!! And i normally don't like bulgogi. Parking can be tough. Street or tiny parking lot.

I don't understand the negative reviews, what a bunch of sour Karen's with obviously no taste in authentic good food and portions.(FYI the food photo taken after we started eating it and taken a few pieces, it was present beautifully before this photo and had more) . I went here today with my bf and the food was amazing and authentic as it gets. I've been to Seoul, South Korea myself and I had one of the best foods recommended there and this place is on par with those I've had there. Korean food is one of my favorites and this place does it perfectly. I had the pork soup and bossam to share, the broth was so good and delicious, portions were nice. The kimchi here is truly one of the best kimchi's I've ever had, just perfectly balanced in every way. Honestly, I have had a hard time finding good food here in L.A but on our last day here we are so happy we found this hidden gem.

I went with friends. Had gobchang soodae jungol and jokbal. They were all really good. Kimchi Banchan was a lil sweet but that's me being picky. I highly recommend this place. I'll be taking my mom here haha

*****PLEASE READ While my daughter and I were eating, we found multiple pieces of silica gel in our radish side dish. We bit into around four total. The first few times we thought we had chipped a tooth or it was some kind of spice/seasoning. We ate with caution. The third and fourth time it happened, we spit it out and took pictures. When I fished around in the side dish container, I found one more fully intact. When we called in hopes of figuring out what was going on, we were met with a rude, dismissive woman. Not a single word even close to "sorry" was said and she told us that next time we come she'd give us a free tray of soondae. When I said that the free tray of soondae wasn't the focus and that I wanted to know if this was some kind of mistake, she got annoyed that I was angry and told me it was probably just a piece of plastic. I get that silica gel is non-toxic but how is this okay? And if its "just a piece of plastic" is it any better? She treated us like we called to complain for some free food and talked to us with insane attitude. I was excited to try the food as it was a new place in the nighborhood. Never going back there again. I understand mistakes can happen as it's very easy to mess things up in the food industry but the attitude and words I was met with was unbelievable.
