A New K-Town Restaurant Wants to Take on LA’s Most Popular Korean Dish - Eater LA

"Yangji Gamjatang serves a spicy braised pork rib dish in a big stone cauldron but does not reach the same popularity as Sun Nong Dan." - Matthew Kang

Incredible bibimbap, and the side dishes were great too. Both the service and ambiance were fantastic. I cannot emphasize how much I liked the bibimbap here (it makes me think of that video of Dahyun shouting "bibimbap" to JYP, that's how good it was). Came with a couple of friends, right before hitting a lounge nearby and the amount of food, service and price were all just right. 10/10.

Late Saturday night dinner with the squad. Everything was excellent! Spam fried rice, stone pot bibimbap, pork bulgogi, sweet and sour, and galbi jjim. Plus, several refills on the banchan.

Had a great dinner. Was so stuffed when I finished my pork neck soup Love the quality and the atmosphere, is quiet and relaxing after a day of work, I can simply focus on eating and peacefully watching their TV and not having the urgency to finish quickly like others' restaurants next door. I have been here a few times to this restaurant and is well designed to dine in alone or in a group. The korean side dishes were tasty, but I might say their kimchi was not my favorite. I'm biased since I really like kimchi from this other place and not restaurant hasn't yet beating

We got the family combo as dinner take out and it was great! Lots of food, banchan, and the kimchi was really good.

We had the sea food soup and the sea food pancakes and they are soo good!! Stoned bibimpap i didn’t like it but my husband finished all 😁 Side dishes are also very tasty, they keep refilling them. They are fast to serve as well ! Highly recommended !

The Gamjatang is enormous and has a pretty distinct earthy and herby flavor. Meat is fall-fall-off-the-bone and a decent mix of fatty and lean parts. Kimchi pancake is homemade tasting (in a good way) and delicious especially when still crispy and fresh. Would recommend ordering multiple dishes and sharing because the gamjatang flavor is assertive and can be a lot.

My friend and I were craving for some savory food after our spa, and she really wanted to eat Spicy Galbi Jjim (Braised Oxtail n Ribs) badly so we visited Yangji Gamjatang. It's our first visit and surprising this place wasn't too busy during dinner time. We were immediately serviced and given all the banchan. The place is pretty small but it felt homey like a small family owned business. The vibes it gives off felt welcoming. The Spicy Galbi Jjim is a MUST TRY here! They serve it piping hot and if you get it with cheese... be amazed when they torch the cheese. It's a full spectacle and fun to watch. It's my first time actually eating this dish so I was high with expectations and it did not disappoint. It was very rich with flavor, and the sauce is thicc! I absolutely love it. My friend thought it was a bit too salty for her, but I couldn't tell since I ate it with rice. It was perfect for me. And the meat easily came off the bones :D And the Gamjatang was very flavorful, and delicious. It's a great soup if you looking for something hearty and warm. Definitely worth a visit but be mindful that parking is a struggle here! This plaza is popular so they only offer valet parking (limited though) or you can take on the challenge of street parking.

My go-to takeout spot. I’m obsessed with the kimchi jjigae and fish cake here—comforting, flavorful, and perfect every time. It’s my personal treat when I’m binging K-dramas. Nothing hits better than warm soup and a good episode!

This place never disappoints! It tastes good even when you eat it few days later. Sometimes the portion is a bit too much for me, so it's perfect to bring home to eat the next day, and it still tastes as good as when I eat it at the restaurant. Highly recommend you to just pay for valet parking so you don't need to drive around, but if you're just picking up, they let you park on the side!

Food was ok but not amazing. The best thing was probably the spicy cold thick noodles. The chew were a bit different than other places I've had. -Pork Neck Stew: This was okay, missing the extra layer of depth in flavor that I've had at other places. -Spicy Beef Ribs: MEH. The rice cakes were burned onto the bottom of the dish. Flavor was just ok. -Spicy Cold Thick Noodles: Noodles had good chew, that's about it. Maybe this place is better for people that are watching their salt intake. Everything did seem a bit more bland than usual.

Amazing food, service can be a bit better. 1) 4/5 kimchi fried rice: This was really good, but too spicy for me as always. Comes with sunny side up & dry seaweed strips on top. Flavors were spot on. 2) 5/5 sundubu jjigae: This is my go to comfort food that I always get everytime I go to a Korean restaurant. I requested mild & I asked a few times to make sure it's mild. The girl who took the order seemed annoyed that I kept asking if I could get mild, lol. Anyway, this is 1 of the best I've had so far. As good as the 1 from Mapo bbq, if not better. Mild was perfect for me. Flavors spot on once again. 3) 4/5 tteokbokki: This was really good, but too spicy for me as usual. Flavors were perfect otherwise. Banchan: 1) 4/5 potato kimchi: This was pretty good, not too spicy. 2) 4/5 Eomuk Bokkeum: This dish is always good, spicy & slightly sweet. 3) 2/5 zucchini: overcooked, too mushy 4) 3/5 kimchi: standard, spicy 5) 3/5 bean sprouts: decent 6) 3/5 Mac salad: not a fan of Mac salad or anything with mayo, but this is okay. The bathroom needs to be cleaned more often. It was pretty disgusting when we went. I know it's not their fault that ppl are gross & piss on the floor, but they should pay attention to & maintain bathroom cleanliness.

I enjoyed their signature dish, the pork neck soup, which the restaurant is named after. The waiter was very patient with us as we decided what to order. The ambiance was not too crowded, definitely recommend.

LOVE THIS PLACE I tried the pork fried rice with kimchi and I absolutely loved it! It honestly was one of the best fried rice I've had, just because it's much different from others. The fried rice here tastes more like a risotto bec of how thick the sauce blends with the rice. My friend ordered bulgogi which also was amazing. Overall I'm really impressed and will definitely come back! Lastly, the prices are reasonable. Fried rice for $15 and bulgogi for $20 is not bad!

This is my go to Korean restaurant in a plaza where there's fierce competition. I prefer this restaurant over the others in the plaza because the food is always delicious, has a good price point and seating is always available! When I eat here I'm ordering army stew, the pork neck soup or pork neck casserole, seafood pancake or Galbijim. You couldn't go wrong with any of these options. Ambience is cozy, and the TV in the background usually has Bob's Burgers playing. Customer service here is solid and the restaurant is open late. Give it a try

Service was good and everything came out quick! 1) Spicy Cold Noodles - the noodles were chewy, refreshing & not too spicy! 2) Beef Bibambap - not enough beef and too much sesame oil - overall it was just alright 3) Ox Bone Soup with Beef Brisket and Noodle - honestly the soup itself was very bland/flavorless even after adding gochujang, green onions, and salt - I would skip this and try their other stews instead

Homey mom and pop restaurant Korean food with delicious cold noodles and galbijjim if you're feeling it and not wanting to go to sun nong dan Nice people in the restaurant Heads up to not drive big trucks in ktown No one wants to let you park in the parking lots so we couldn't park in the valet parking they had

Went here on a Saturday afternoon after our initial lunch place had way too long of a wait and we were happy to see we were able to be seated instantly. The place had about 4 other groups. Overall I found the service alright, we ran out of water and found it hard to wave them down, ask for them. They also forgot two dishes that we ordered at the beginning. We were a bit disappointed to find they didn't have soju drinks on the menu. I found the seafood pancake to be on the chewier side and lacking in flavor. Everything else was just alright.

Recently went again and it's Still tasty Korean Comfort Food, I usually get the seafood Soon ToFu but they have many other good dishes. Service is great and valet parking is $4 if you go on a busy night it's worth it.

It's tough when I'm in Korea town and hungry. Parking becomes a chore, choosing a good spot becomes a chore, and getting a table becomes a chore. Lucky for me Yangji had a $4 valet parking and there was no wait. The menu selection variety was vast and the pictures made everything look enticing. My eyes and neck dodged left and right as big plates and bowls of steaming presentations of deliciousness passed by me. So much so that I was granted my request to move to a corner table and was be to enjoy every smell and gawk at every dish being served. A hard choice to make, but make it I did. Choosing a sea food kimchee noodle soup and seafood tofu soon. I enjoyed the udon noodles and had a bite of every type of seafood in my bowl. The tofu soon was hot and not too spicy with a great seafood flavor. It had a touch too much oil for my taste, but nothing a bowl of rice doesn't cure. The bachans were there, nothing spectacular. I hate to waste them, but they were more of a formal table decoration than something to write home about. I was hoping for a hot pot, but I could find myself to order a $25-$45 built for 2+ for just myself. I'm going to have to return with some backup and give it a try.

First time writing a bad review but I'm so upset I just have to. Was pretty excited to try this spot but unfortunately the waiter was so incredibly rude.. Not once did he came to our table to asked if we needed something so my husband called him when he passed by and he responded so rude telling us we had to wait because he was helping someone else. Which of course that totally ok we could wait we had already waited 10 min . But he was so rude and then came to our table started going off on us how we have to wait and when we asked him for more side he made such an annoyed face like is this what you bothering me for . I felt so uncomfortable . Like really ? All we wanted was to enjoy our food and we got a lecture from the waiter. The food was ok not amazing not too bad. However we couldn't even enjoy the dinner . will not visit this place again..

Recently dropped by, and it wasn't too crowded. Dishes are around $15+, staff is super friendly and checked in on us, and the place is clean. We had the seafood tofu soup - it was fantastic! We thought it was a unique and convenient how each table has a drawer for spoons, chopsticks, and napkins so you don't need to keep calling the server if you need some more. I checked in on Yelp and they give a free soda which was nice! We don't know how much parking is but we know it's valet parking there (we Ubered). The location of this restaurant is def nice because there are other stores like Paris baguette, other Korean restaurants, 7-Eleven, H-mart, and etc right next to it that you can visit. Highly recommend this place and definitely making a return visit!

This is a relatively spacious restaurant. We didn't need to wait at all, and the food came out speedily as well. I got the seollungtang and overall it was okay because it wasn't initially seasoned properly (very bland) and also the broth felt less creamy. Regardless, still good and the side dishes were great.

Provender: this is an excellent Korean restaurant in the heart of ktown. I ordered the ox bone soup and pork cutlet and both were well prepared. Prices: entres will run you about $14-15, and you also get some ban chan (side dishes). Parking: it's in a plaza so there are parking spots, but they tend to fill up fast. People: fun for all. Perks: they open early on weekdays and weekends. The takeout utensils are high quality from my experience. They offer a wide variety of stew-type dishes. Friendly staff. Get for takeout too. I believe most dishes come with rice.

I came here with a friend pretty late on a Thursday around 11pm and the place was pretty empty. Ingot their pork neck bone soup and it exceed my expectations! They gave a huge portion of meat along with potatoes, and the broth was pretty flavorful and not as spicy as I thought it would be. We were also given rices and side dishes. The dish filled me up pretty quickly and was good enough for two meals. The prices are reasonable too. I definitely recommend for comfort Korean food and will be back if I'm ever in the area again.

A few years ago we, unknowingly, stopped by Sun Nong Dan and weren't big fans because of how tough the short ribs were. But when we decided to stop by this place, we realized it was right next door and hoped for better and, luckily, had a much better meal! We came around 12:30 and only a few tables were taken so we sat right away. A younger, non-Korean guy helped us and he was kind except when we ordered, I pointed to the "maeun cheese galbijim" on the sign posted on the wall, then he said the short rib on the menu is better . . I didn't have a chance to see the price difference - a $30 increase - and I wasn't sure what the difference was with meat since the name looked the same, but we went ahead and ordered it. So the only real negative I have is the communication and ordering process, because with that big of a price difference it would have been nice to know why it was "better". Anyways, we also ordered a kimchi pancake that arrived first along with the banchan. Banchan was great - the favorites being the kimchi, cucumbers, adn fishcakes! And they have a kick which was nice! The pancake was delicious - it came out fluffy yet so crispy on the edges and it was a good size to share. They had a sauce for it specifically but it was a bit too salty to use more of. Then came the short ribs covered in cheese and torched at the table. it's a big plate and we definitely had leftovers. I went for the short rib first and immediately noticed how tender and soft the meat was! It fell right off the bone but fair warning - there's a thick skin underneath that can get tough so you have to tear away the meat from the membrane, once you get through that you're free to indulge! And the sauce was so good, thick, rich, flavorful, it was amazing. We were using up that sauce with the rice like no other. The bowl comes with soft potatoes and carrots and perfectly cooked onions. There is also thick tteokboki spread throughout! Overall, a solid spot we would be happy to return to.

I love this place. I'm originally from Michigan where I grew up with authentic Korean food from my family and hardly like to go to bbq places. I love that this is very traditional and the flavor is amazing! Service is always quick as well.

One of my co-workers recommended this place! For months I have wanted Galbitang and I promise that was what I was going to get when I came...until...I saw the pork neck bone soup! I was torn between a known quantity and something new. Well, I went with something new and I was not disappointed! My mouth sang and my stomach was very happy. The broth was so good and the neck bones were so tender. I was not familiar with the perilla leaves but hey I was game and it was good! The bowl arrived and it was bubbling l, piping hot. I was trying to be patient and wait for it to cool sufficiently, but my mouth had other plans. I could come to this place everyday. The table behind me ordered the same thing and I kept glancing for pointers on how to eat the dish properly and gave up. It was on and I was in it! This place is a must visit. Simple, unassuming decor,but the food spoke for itself.

Actually stopped by after the line for a nearby restaurant was too long, and we were too hungry to choose another place (tough luck). Glad we did though, there was no wait and the food still hit the spot! Banchan was good and did the job, with lots of variety even if not super unique dishes. We ordered an ox bone soup and seafood noodle soup, both of which came out quickly and were tasty. It took the servers a bit of time to take our order even with a pretty empty restaurant, but we had time so definitely didn't fault them for it. Definitely enjoyed the homey meal we had here, no complaints!

I worked in one of the best restaurants in KTown and I tried almost all Korean food. I had the opportunity to eat in many Korean restaurants and "very prestigious" ones but in none of them have I tasted the flavor like here. In addition, here they treat you like at home and you feel like you are part of family. I recommend this place 100% and with my eyes closed.

Small but classic. Good food but little stuff like the banchan I thought was worse than average. Service was good enough and portions were plenty. Servers also checked in on us a ton, especially for banchan refills and just to make sure we were doing well. Banchan - just okay. Most of their "pickled" dishes tasted more fresh than anything, but I prefer banchan like kimchi fermented and spicy. No wow factor, less than average Seafood Sundubu - really good flavor with a kick. Included clams, squid, one large shrimp and tofu. Though the flavor was good, the shrimp had chalky texture around the edges and really killed this dish for me. Great flavor but improperly handled shrimp. #8 Beef soup with vegetables/noodles - Good beef broth flavor with glass noodles. Classic dish that went great with rice bowl provided Beef Bulgogi - good, but not mind blowing. Beef was nice and tender. Dish came out sizzling and gave the onions a nice sear. Best to share with someone so you don't get tired of eating the whole thing. Generally good flavors, but the smaller things like the weird shrimp texture (processing/storage issue) and the uninteresting banchan knocked down rating for me. Service was good and staff were kind to us, but the food could improve. 3/5

My friends and I went to Yangji Gamjatang this week for lunch and loved everything we had. We had a big group and they were so kind, patient and accommodating to us. Bring cash for the valet. And welcome to KTown, we have a lot of valet parking lots so always be prepared. This particular one also takes venmo. Good amount of banchans and I find their mac salad particularly pleasant. Loved their Galbi Jjim! Such a delicious dish and who doesn't love the spectacle of having cheese lit on fire at your table!? Much like the name suggests, Yangji is known for their gamjatang. Their pork neck soup is rich, superb and they're known for it for good reason. Mouthwatering. They also have great oxtail soup & Galbitang though. Really, any of the soups you can confidently order here knowing they will be clean and wonderful. Comfort foods at its finest! I still need to try their omurice!

During the pandemic, I ordered the famous braised beef ribs with potatoes, cakes, scallions, in a rich mildly spicy chili sauce. The beef was extremely tender, and fell off the bone. The serving size is extremely generous, but you're paying for it at sixty dollars plus. The chili sauce is rich, and finger licking good. It says spicy, but it's really mild, so don't be afraid to order it if you can handle mild. This would have been five stars, but I also ordered the Korean Chicken wings. Very dry. Side sauce can't help. I tried to dip it in the chili sauce from the braised beef. It helped a little. Would definitely consider this again. The price is somewhat prohibited to my return.

It was my first time coming to eat gamjatang in the morning today! A great hearty breakfast after a night out. The portion for a single serving of gamjatang was surprisingly big. I couldn't finish it even though I came in very hungry! Very delicious as always, then afterwards I go next door to the bakery or across the street to Hmart for a nice iced coffee

The galbi-jjim braised beef ribs are rich, mouthwatering, hearty, and tender. The meat didn't fall off the bone, but you can get it off reasonably cleanly with kitchen shears. Luckily there were plenty of napkins. The first couple of bites were so comforting and flavorful. It arrived in a big hot pot, generous enough to share with approximately three people. It was stewed along with carrots, rice cake, and potatoes. The banchan was terrific, with excellent kimchi. They have an extensive menu, and I must return and try their gamjatang (pork neck bone stew). This restaurant is in a hotspot plaza and next door to a bar, other popular restaurants, a convenience store, and Paris Baguette. Parking is messy, and you won't find parking in peak hours. Try paid parking down the street in a garage or metered parking along the roads. There's not much to look at for the interior, but come here for the food, and you won't regret it. The workers here are very efficient and friendly, and I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Not good food. The spicy squid stir fry is extra bad. The sea food taste is very strong and the Korean seasoning can't even cover it, indicating the squid is not fresh. Pork bulgogi is also very average. I'm kinda shocked how can you mess up bulgogi! I do not recommend this place.

This is my absolute favorite spot in ktown! Their quality never disappoints and always feels like a homemade meal. It's never been very busy when I go, so no waiting in line unlike the other spots next to it. I just don't think they get the hype that other spots do, but it's more of a if you know, you know. I recommend the gamjatang of course and their kimchi or potato pancake.

Made a to go order and the food was very mediocre. The side dishes were packed in extremely small plastic containers and the gamjatang had barely any meat, potatoes, and it felt like leftover ingredients. There are better places in Ktown.

My favorite Korean restaurant! The best place for homestyle comfort food. I'd call it a hidden gem, except it's located in arguably the busiest plaza in Ktown (shares a parking lot with Hangari and Sun Nong Dan). Definitely order the gamjatang-pork neck bone soup. The broth is super rich and it comes loaded with tender pork meat. The best I've tried in Koreatown. Yukgaejang (spicy beef soup with glass noodles) is my favorite dish ever, and it's also the best here. So much depth of flavor-beefy and buttery. Their galbijjim is also fantastic-better than the one next door and without the long wait. Order it with cheese and you'll get a show as they torch it at your table. I've tried so many other dishes here too and they've been all hits, no misses. The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable. Takeout is amazing here too. They must use some magic containers because the food is always steaming hot even after I've gotten home. We always leave happy and with leftovers. I'm sad I can't give them 10 stars!

We ordered via Postmates and the food delivered in a reasonable amount of time. The galbitang is really what gives this place a high rating. Galbitang ($19.95): Wow, this was the best beef short rib soup I've ever had; the soup flavor was chef's kiss! Everyone needs to try this soup. They gave 3 huge bones with big chunks of meat on them too! The only small portion was the glass noodles which they stuffed in a small sauce container. At first I was a bit upset at the disproportion, but later I was too invested in trying to get the meat off the bone and slurping the delicious soup that I didn't really care about the noodles. If this was the only thing I ate, I might be more worked up. Banchans: They put each banchan in their own individual container. These were not the best banchans, especially the thick radish. Everything else was mid. White Rice: We got 2 small containers of white rice which were really good and soft. I love the texture and taste of it. Beef Bulgogi ($22.95): The portion was kinda small and the marinade was too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't get this again.

I tried to go food here overall it really could be better regarding consistency. The order time was very fast, however from ordering it to three times it wasn't the best at least one of those times I still think it's worth the price, but there are better places to serve gamjatangin ktown.

Everywhere in the vicinity had hour-long waits on a Friday night so we decided to check out Yangji Gamjatang. It was a surprisingly great choice! We ordered the pork neck bone soup (medium), bibimbap, and cold noodles. All were so satisfying. They said the medium could feed 2-3 people but the portion size was huge and more than enough for the 4 of us with leftovers. We really enjoyed the cold noodles and bibimbap as well! Sides were great.

Always a great time when coming to Yangji Gamjatang. You will be satisfied. I came here with a friend on a Saturday for lunch. It was surprisingly packed, but was able to get a table immediately. We shared the oxtail soup and the pork rib stew. Get it with the spice and the cheese, it's so good. The oxtail soup was very light and the pork ribs were tender and flavorful. The big dish also came with rice cakes, potatoes, carrots and onions. We could not finish everything. The prices went up a bit but you still get so much food for the price. The sides are always great, and staff was friendly. Valet is $3-$4.

My roommate and I came here a couple years back to surprise a friend for her bday at work. Low and behold she couldn't eat with us and so we decided to find a place to eat in Ktown. We selected this place on a whim and were both blown away. Seafood spice and everything nice for a couple of LA biddies. Eat up!!

Parking in the heart of Ktown for dinner is a nightmare. The small private lot is sardine packed and full all night. Circling the blocks what felt like hundreds of times. Peak hour is tough. It is what it is. The restaurant was packed but we were lucky to get a table within 20 minutes. Extensive menu ~ not a pretty layout, divey decor, loud & louder. Folks come here to gorge themselves in full meal deals. Prepare to eat! What they are known for ~ Pork Neck Bone Soup Gamjatang. Ours had ONE bite of potato. It may sound funny, but half the dish should be potato which gives the soup a creamy taste. Broth just a few sips. IMO the pork was overwhelming and not balanced. But for meat lovers, this was for you. HaeMul PaJun Seafood Pancake ~ large size but a little too bready. Needed more vegetables & seafood. Tangsuyuk Sweet & Sour Pork ~ quantity was large, but again too much batter. Sauce was a nice slight sweetness. Service ~ the main dude wearing glasses was a madman. Sweat dripping down his face and neck. Very oppressive and too intense look in his eyes when taking our order. Not friendly. Yangji is a well-known joint that has been around for years. The portions are huge but the cramped seating and loud atmosphere makes a hectic rush of a dinner when no alcohol is served.

One of our go-to spots when we are visiting LA. Super charming place that's never disappointed us. Its cozy atmosphere and authentic flavors always make us feel right at home. During our recent visit, we had their delicious Galbi tang for breakfast, delicious hearty broth and tender meat. Their banchan is awesome too. The staff are friendly, warm and welcoming.

Gamjatang is something that I crave for every once in a while. I personally ended up choosing this place because Mark Wiens was photographed here lol. We ordered there specialty Gamjatang in medium size. Honestly it was the best fall of the bone meat I've had for Gamjatang. It was so easy to eat, as soon as you pull the meat , it comes off the bone. You can really tell hat they've given time to cook the meat that the soup is a little gelatinous when you drink it. As for the taste of the broth, I'd say it was a bit different than what I'm used to. There's a little bit of tanginess to it which is interesting. I personally prefer the depth of the broth to come from the pork and heat. Overall I recommend this place. The service was nice and the lady server was very attentive. We ended up leaving the restaurant full and we had leftovers which shows how much meat they give you.

Delicious! I was a bit skeptical coming to this place because of all of the influencer impact, but I was pleasantly surprised. The workers here are very efficient and friendly and the food was tremendous as well. I came with a group of four and we got two dishes to share. It was plenty of food we left full but our mouths were still drooling for more. Would definitely hit back this spot when I'm down in k-town again. Do you keep in mind that it is a very busy plaza and close to a 7-Eleven. Don't keep valuables in the car or park down the street in the secured lots.
