Pictures don't really do it justice - this is the most tender, flavorful fish I've had in a long time. Perfect with rice. I usually struggle with bone-in fish but the bones were very easy to find and discard. Side soup was also very good, tastes like a healing comfort soup. Called before we came to ensure seat availability since it's a tiny place

Excellent Chinese restaurant with consistently fresh, flavorful dishes and generous portions. Everything we ordered was hot, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The menu offers a great variety of classic favorites and house specialties, making it easy to find something for everyone. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food was ready quickly. A reliable spot for both dine-in and takeout — we’ll definitely be back.

Went to 5 other very popular korean restaurants on this trip and this place had the best korean food we tried. Coming from NJ Bergen county, we thought we had good korean food but this area is on another level. The Samgyetang and black cod was insane, didn’t talk because it was that good. Super hole in the wall, only has 2 tables for dine in but Jeff was extremely nice and hearing his story was inspiring. Must try korean food in LA

Tried the Samgyetang and Eun-Daegu and both were incredible and truly authentic! This place is such a hidden gem and definitely gives that hole in the wall vibe in the best way. You can really tell the owners care deeply about the food they serve and take pride in their dishes. I love that they only have four items on the menu, it shows how confident they are in their specialties. I’m already planning to come back the next time I’m in LA!

One of the best no-frills restaurants i have ever been to. Just amazing food and nothing to distract from it. Had the dakdori tang, was surprised that it was a whole chicken so bring a friend to eat with you. All of the portions seem to be made for two. Although I would not want to share any of the two year fermented radish so over to you. I am pretty sure I will have leftovers for maybe 2 meals. It’s rated as a Michelin spot and you can see why. I will definitely come back. I want to try the braised beef next time.

OK Junwondak is such a ktown gem!! You can tell it’s a small business ran by a family (son & mom) who really cares. Everything tastes super homey, clean, and just really well made. Their braised cod (은대구찜) is honestly one of the best I’ve had. Very tender and the sauce is amazing. I love that they only have four things on the menu- it shows how confident they are in what they cook. It’s not pretentious at all, prices are fair, and the portions are great. I’m usually pretty selective and don’t go back to most restaurants, but I’m determined to try every single dish here.

Had one of the best meals of my life here. Amazing Korean food that feels like the most exceptional home cooking. Ran by the Chef Jeff and his mother with limited staff this is normally a to-go only spot and there’s only one table for reservation. We were lucky enough to sneak in between reservations and got to sit down and enjoy our meal. Chef Jeff treated us beyond kindly, making us feel at home and we shared a great conversation. The food is on another level, the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and I respect Jeff’s values towards his sourcing and methods of preparing his ingredients to ensure the highest quality. I have never had a meal quite like this one. Thank you!!!
