Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: April 22 | Eater LA

"At Gu Jip, which literally translates to “the place,” I enjoyed a variety of ssam bap served with a well-balanced ssamjang made from fermented bean paste and aromatics; the setup arrives as a freshly washed tray of crisp leafy greens and vegetables for wrapping meats and fish, which makes assembling each bite fun. I ordered the beef bulgogi, served with near-caramelized onions and still sizzling on a small cast-iron skillet — to eat, wrap the meat with lettuce, blanched cabbage, perilla (ggaenip), or even seaweed, add a dollop of ssamjang and maybe a pat of steamed white rice. While David Chang’s Momofuku may have popularized the word “ssam,” humble neighborhood mom-and-pop places like this one have been serving the best ssam bap for years." - Eater Staff

We ordered 2 jalapeno kimbap and 2 beef bulgogi kimbap and they gave us 4 little spicy soups that I thought was miso at first but it's not it's a delicious bean sprout jalapeno soup. So good and spicy 😍 The owners were so nice and asked our daughter if she wanted to take a book home 💚 definitely have to go back for a date night with hubby and try their other items

I visited Gue Jip Restaurant recently and had a decent experience overall. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff was polite and attentive. The food was flavorful, especially the traditional Korean dishes, though a few items felt a bit underseasoned or not as fresh as expected. Service was a bit slow during peak hours, but nothing too frustrating. Prices were fair for the portion sizes. I’d consider coming back to try other menu items. It seems like a spot that could grow on you with the right picks.

My 1st time at a Korean restaurant. I’m Mexican and honestly this was one of the best spots I have been too. 10/10 recommend!

This was our absolute favorite Korean restaurant in town. We used to eat here weekly because my kids loved the Kimbaps and well everything else on the menu. A few months ago we noticed the decor changed and the flavors had changed. Turned out it was a change in ownership. The last couple of times we were fairly disappointed but thought it might take some time to adjust. Last night we ordered some staple dishes and some as shocked when we opened them at home. Kimbap - it was far smaller than it used to be (see side by side comparison photo). So much so that it got tossed around and I rearranged them for the photo. Also it was COLD. Taken out of the fridge. Kids said it was too cold and hard and wouldn’t eat them. Ttukbbokki - it was so pale I thought they forgot to add an ingredient. The spice was there a wee bit but it wasn’t the authentic red pepper paste flavor. Half of it was cabbage. The mandoo tasted like frozen mandoo. It was so disappointing. It’s really sad to see our favorite go down the drain like this. Out of nostalgia we’ll probably try it out again in a few months and I hope we are pleasantly surprised.

I came for the Kalbi Jjim...and the waitress crossed it out on the paper menu as soon as i asked lol. So i had to get something else which was good too.

I have so satisfied with menus every time I visited this place. The workers were so kind and refilled side dishes if we needed. There are so many healthy Korean menus.
