ATTO

Atto has amazing authentic Korean food, outstanding service, and old school charm that really stands out from the crowd. The army stew was such a cool dish.. ramen noodles, sausage, spam and all sorts of great ingredients in a delicious broth. The spicy pork with tofu was perfect.. not too spicy but great flavor. The sweet and tangy pork loin was friend perfectly and the sweet and tangy sauce is a must try.. it is perfectly balanced with very bold flavors. The chef came out to chat with us and gave us the history of the army stew which was quite interesting. The dining room is cozy and comfortable with plenty of seating. We have tried so many Korean restaurants in the South Bay and Atto stands out for incredible food and a unique experience. Very highly recommended.

I went here for a friend reunion, and we tried all the menus here. We all loved and enjoyed all the foods here and especially, Atto’s Mara Xiangguo and GUO BAO ROU were the best! Period. If their Mara xiangguo is too spicy, I will recommend order their chicken soup with it because the combination of these two menu will make balance of flavors and really tasty. By the way, the service was good and also their interior was cute and trendy! I will definitely comeback here soon and I highly recommend this place for you all! 🙂

We happened to stumble upon this restaurant by chance, and what a lucky find it was! First of all, the interior is beautiful... super clean!!!!! It instantly put us in a great mood. We ordered the Mala Xiang Guo, Guo Bao Rou, and short ribs. The Mala Xiang Guo was absolutely delicious...you can adjust the spice level, and it came loaded with both meat and veggies. The portion was generous and the price was very reasonable. Our 3 years boy, who usually doesn’t eat much meat, grabbed the short rib with his hands and devoured it! And the highlight? The Guo Bao Rou! Even after 20 minutes, it stayed perfectly tender and the sauce was incredible!!!!!!! sweet, tangy, and not overly sticky. A MUST TRY. We already agreed we’re definitely coming back. So excited to have found a new go to spot!

Real Gem Found! To the point: - Taste: GREAT! - Vibe & Service: Relaxing 🙂 - Price: VERY GOOD - Recommended: YES - Returning: YES 1. Price At first you might feel likes it’s overpriced until you see malatang being $33. But this is for 2~3 people! In fact, this portion is more than enough for 2 people. You don’t see this kind of deal in a lot of restaurants. Keeping that in mind, all prices are very good deals! 2. Vibe & Service Nothing to complain about. It is currently on soft opening. 3. Food This place was marketing "Korean style" malatang before opening. As a Korean, traditional malatang generally does kick your palettes with full roundhouse. Their malatang was interesting because I could tell that they didn’t put too much mala but definitely didn’t lack any of classic malatang flavor. I wanted to make a comparison with another restaurant but to be honest, ATTO might be the first one around the town in terms of real Malatang. I’d say closest one would be Ruiji in Torrance. But they are not the same kind of malatang. Guo Bao Rou was on point, exactly how I tasted before and expected. I mean it was great! But I wish i could’ve ordered this with Mala Xiang Guo. My 6 yo son had Soy Garlic Pork Ribs. And yes it was good too! 4. Comment I am DEFINITELY coming back here in the near future (maybe even this coming weekday)! I was very satisfied of the level of food quality, portion, and price. I guess the only downside is that, to my selfishness as a Korean, malatang could be so much more "fun" to eat with any type of noodle they could add to their menu, especially ramyeon noodle, Chinese flat glass noodle, or udon noodle. They do have knife noodle as an option but it doesn’t cut for me. Flat glass noodle with ATTO’s malatang would be ABSOLUTE FIRE.

Was driving by and saw this new place and wanted to try it. They just opened a bit over a week ago. Got the chicken stew, which was a huge portion! It tasted very delicious but healthy. Make sure to add the noodles! Their pork ribs were my fave. So tender and flavorful!

Tried multiple dishes from their menu and every single one of them were excellent. I can see that they put a lot of care in the details, and both their chinese and korean-based menus were a perfect balance of authentic and easy to enjoy. They have a beautiful space with ample seating and nice intimate lighting. Looks like they are still waiting for their liquor license, and I'm super excited since their menu would perfectly pair with some beer. Still coming back just for the food until they get that beer license though. Oh and I wasn't able to take a picture of it but their GuoBaoRou is chef's kiss.

Loved the ambiance and the food was very tasty. Very solid choice for comfort Korean food
