Namsan - Korean restaurant

Great taste and exceptional value! I read a lot of recent reviews that said the old reviews were with a different owner, so we took a chance and tried it. We went as they opened right at 11 AM for lunch. The inside was clean and the food was out pretty quickly. We ordered the omurice and the spicy beef soup. The flavor was great, and the prices are much lower than surrounding restaurants. Their banchan was also very tasty. We had spicy cucumber, kimchi, fish cakes, and a radish/onion dish. All in all, I'd really recommend this restaurant. It's clear that whoever is running it now cares about quality.

The ginseng chicken soup and beef short rib soup were both huge portions and delicious. They also have really delicious banchan. The owner was so sweet. When I told him I liked his seaweed side dish he packed more for me to take home with my portions. I was so touched. I hope more people support this restaurant!

This is a great mom & pop restaurant! It's mostly about delivery and takeout, but the ahjussi that seemed to be the owner/manager checked on me often as I ate in at one of the 3 tables. There must have been about 30 orders running through that door while I spent an hour eating there. They're very popular, obviously! The food was great and reasonably priced. I had mandu and rice cake soup (because LA was surprisingly cold), which was hardy and hot. It had a savory broth and was quite soothing. It also came with banchan. I also got a combo with tteokbokki and gimbap. And they were spot-on authentic and satisfying. I recommend this place for anyone and everyone!

This is really a hidden gem. I haven't come too a Korean restaurant like this in a while. The staff was very friendly and kind, the staff that was helping us was highly friendly, helping us choose what to eat. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is open for trying something new or just want a good dinner.

first time trying them out. Food was decent. I recommend the duttpoki and Radish soup, quite good . Only critique abou the place might be that the menu was a bit overwhelming, seems like they try to offer TOO much , I had the thought they might just focus on their best dishes, narrow stuff down . They cater mainly toward delivery so when we ate there , we were literally the only customers there, which wasnt a bad thing in itself, but the atmosphere is naturally kind of , EH~ Also, dont get the Tempura, the breading is sub par.

One of the hidden koreatown gems for sure! We found this small restaurant during quarentine and we just fell in love with the food. We order from here at least twice a week. Last night was the first time we actually sat inside and the service is excellent 👌. I highly recommend "soft spicy tofu stew" " spicy cold noodles" and the "spicy beef stew" "the short ribs soup" "bean sprout soup" if you're looking for comforting korean food this is the spot!

It’s a no nonsense sort of place. Extensive menu, delicious food, and open pretty late at night. definitely recommend if you’re just looking for some tasty food late at night.
