jilli modern sool jib

This place is the coolest, yummiest hidden gem 💎 in ktown!! My waiter was fast and attentive. My favorites were the Rigatoni, honey butter chips, tuna dip was fire and the soju selection blew my mind because I’ve only ever had the flavored green bottle. The fried chicken was very tasty too! Next time I need to try the beer and other menu items. I found metered parking nearby but there is valet service in the back!

this place is a MUST TRY! The kimchi alla vodka pasta and risotto with egg jam were both amazing, and so were our cocktails. The staff was very friendly too! Best LA dining experience we’ve had in awhile

Grabbed a res day of to stop here before a show at the Wiltern and what a perfect little plan that was! I told them we were tight on time because of a show and they went out of their way to accommodate, making sure we got our table as soon as possible and fired all our food QUICKLY! We had some great recommended soju and 5 dishes between 2 people. Our favorites were the salmon kimbap, the uni tteok-bokki and the shrimp toast. (Note, we don’t eat red meat so cannot comment on those dishes). The crudo was a tad overdressed but fish was fresh. Highly recommend for a small party for pre show or pre night out dinner.

Easily one of our favorite koreatown spots. We love Marvin. Try as many items as you can from the menu and grab a bottle of makgeolli. You’ll likely get some solid samples either way.

We visited Jilli on a Wednesday. The spot is very cute, parking is a bit of a challenge. A few of the items we wished to order such as the Old Fashion and the beef Wagyu were not available. We ordered the cucumber salad which was okay, nothing wild. We ordered the brisket scallion pancake which was an omelet with brisket inside. The Golbi short rib fries were amazing and the Kimchi Rigatoni was delicious. The Seoul Mule was very sweet and just tasted lile $17 juice. Service wasn't great, the waiters were busy giving each other noogies and tasting some drinks by swiping with their fingers and licking it. Weird and unprofessional. All in all we probably wouldn't come back, there are a bunch of great spots around that have better service, drinks and more options.

I ordered the pay raise and rigatoni and both of them tasted really good with really nice flavor profiles. It is not your regular pocha style restaurant. If I could make an analogy, this is more of a high end experimental modern Pocha. I never had anything like the pay raise! It’s really unique and I like what they are doing! A+

We stopped by while in Ktown the other night, and it’s a solid spot for sure. Grabbed some drinks and shared a few plates—shrimp toast, rigatoni alla kimchi vodka, wagyu yukhwe, pork jowl jeyuk, and galbi frites. The wagyu yukhwe ended up being my favorite—intense flavors in a good way and just really well executed. Pork jowl jeyuk was a close second, especially with the perilla leaves to wrap it in. The rest of the dishes were all tasty too, easy to share and enjoy with drinks. Overall, it’s a comfortable spot to hang out, enjoy some drinks, and snack through some creative Korean plates. Definitely a solid stop if you’re in K-Town.
