“My favorite Korean spot in Los Angeles. Did some research online for good kimchi and discovered this place. Their kimchi is fantastic, but then I also discovered this entire meal. This is perfect comfort food. Sunday mornings. Rainy afternoons or pretty much anytime you need something soupy in your life.“
“This is a small casual spot but with very good and flavorful Filipino food. The service was straightforward and the menu is varied. Not the best spot for vegetarians, as this cuisine is pretty meat heavy, though there is a very nice tofu adobo. From the lumpia to the lechón, it was all fire. I’d absolutely come back to try other menu items.Vegetarian options: Really only a small handful of vegetarian options, mainly tofu based. Even the best rice dish has chicken fat oil.“

“I had been hearing a lot of good things about the food here so I finally made my way into Silverlake to check it out. As you are probably already aware, this is a take out or delivery restaurant. You cannot dine in here. You actually can't even enter the building. The front door is a two piece door and when they are open for business, the top part of the door will be open. You order from there and then wait on the sidewalk for your order to be ready. You can also call in an order in advance or use various delivery services. There was not anyone waiting to order when I got there so I was able to walk directly up to the door and immediately order. I had to wait approximately 10 minutes for my order to be prepared and in those 10 minutes they got very busy. Six people came up to pickup phone or delivery orders during that time and those pickups went very quickly. A line began to form to order during that time and when I left with my order there were 5 other people who had placed others and were now waiting for their orders to be prepared and an additional 7 other people waiting in line to place orders. They prepare their food quickly but keep in mind, they need to cook the food after you place your order. If there is already a line to place your order and people waiting for their food to finish cooking, all of that will add to the amount of time it will take before your order has been prepared. If you are in a hurry and need your order quickly, perhaps you should consider another restaurant such as a fast food restaurant. They do prepare the food as quickly as they can but keep in mind, you will wait approximately 5 to 10 minutes at a minimum and the more people you see standing around out front will add to that wait time. Is it worth the wait? Oh yes, it is worth it. I had the popcorn chicken, Summer Rolls and the Caramelized Pork. The Popcorn chicken and its dipping sauce was a real treat for the taste buds. The chicken is double fried but is not dry on the inside and the dipping sauce has the perfect bite of spices to it. The summer rolls are huge. Your choice of protein or vegetables only. They really could be a meal within themselves and the vegetables were very fresh with lots of vegetable crunch in every bite. The Caramelized Pork came with sticky rice and cooked with hard boiled eggs. It was as good as it sounds (which is very good). The portion sizes were very good with my order easily being enough for two people with some leftovers. Truly, the summer rolls are so large that you cannot help but have leftovers. Parking can be very tricky here. There are yellow painted loading zones in front of the restaurant and the mom & pop grocery store next door so if you are just picking up an order that had already been placed, you shouldn't have a problem. You may find yourself desperately looking for a place to park though. Keep that in mind but don't let that scare you off. You will be thankful for the effort you put in when you are finally home and enjoying the fruits of your troubles. BTW, I hear that their Bahn Mi sandwiches are so good. I look forward to trying that next time.“
“Totally amazed by the great selection and quality of the food at lunch buffet. It was really good. They had chicken biryani, goat curry, chicken tikka massala, tandoori, chicken and so many other dishes. They also Chai tea and a good selection of sweet desserts. A gem of a spot and I'm glad I chanced upon it. This will be my go to for Indian buffet, authentic. Service was top notch too!!“
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.! college kids working hard to make money & they're such good workers.!the food is made with love & passion cause you can taste it in the food they serve you! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.! very good people & quality food.! love this place.!“
“my friend bashes indian food and perhaps not just their food well let's keep that to ourselves shall we the problem is the price fundamentally an american may view this cuisine as exotic however i also view it as exotic but perhaps not worth the exorbitant fees they charge perhaps indian food in LA is a bigger racket than anything scorsese filmed about“
“The food was ok tasting (we ordered the seafood pancake, soft tofu soup, bulgogi and mackerel) and the wait staff courteous. The banchan options were delicious. The place is a no frills mom and pop restaurant located in a shopping strip center.“
“Small quiet hole in the wall dine in restaurant that serves authentic Korean cuisine. Had the assorted meat hot pot served with additional creamy white beef broth. Of course couldn't leave without trying their Wild Yam/Beet colored cold noodle dish...Delicious! Service was also great and private parking available.“
“One of the best Korean places I’ve been to. I loved their Pork Belly and Baby octopus dish. It had tons of bean sprouts which seemed a bit odd at first, but completed the dish. Everything was perfectly seasoned. A little sweet and salty but not too much of each. Very big portions and great side dishes.“
“Fantastic restaurant! They are known, as the name in Korean suggests, for their cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew). Absolutely delicious. The staff working here take care of every detail in the service as well as the food. Price is also good. This is definitely one of the gems of ktown - homey, authentic, and delicious. Ample parking, but the restaurant itself is on the smaller side. There can be a small wait if coming at a popular time.“
“I just tried the passion salad , the awake, and vibrant salad. I would definitely recommend this place. And that sneaky guy put some banana pudding in my bag, which I did not order, but OMG I'm glad he did. I will be ordering that banana pudding from here on out. It was amazing!“
“Not a particularly large interior but well spaced tables. You order on an ipad screen at your own leisure.Ordered the half green onion and half garlic bossam with the pork belly kimchi stew.I highly recommend the garlic bossam if you enjoy garlic. The garlic mince is slightly sweet and pairs nicely with the pork. I personally didn't enjoy the green onion bossam as much because it's topped with a fermented soybean sauce, and in my opinion, the meat tasted significantly more gamey.The kimchi stew was really tasty. The spice level was perfect for someone like me who often orders mild or no spice dishes. It had a kick without being painful. The only complaint I would have is that the pork was quite dry and chewy. Also, rice is not automatically served with and you need to request it.For the banchan, the radish kimchi was a highlight while the pasta salad was very disappointing (it kind of just tasted like whole wheat bread but in a pasta form).Our server did a great job despite being the only one working the front.Parking: A small to medium sized parking lot shared by all the stores in that mall.“
“Amazing. The food is just so good every single time. From their burritos, to their rice balls and oh my god, the Thai teaaaa. *Chefs Kiss* Please try their Thai tea at least once in your life. It's so creamy and delicious. Hands down one of the best I've ever tried. Will continue coming back for as long as they're open. It's won my heart and my belly.“
“This was the most surprisingly amazing breakfast I've had in a long time. Venezuelan delicacies to explore and experience for everyone in a cute quaint area of NoHo. Tasty food with outdoor seating. Great staff, cool vibes, tasty food, a must try!“
“Five stars overall - First timer here.Husband and I visited for Easter brunch after seeing photos we wanted to try and we were not disappointed!! food taste and quality is important to us, this place is 10/10 for sure and we are coming back.We enjoyedEggs Benedict and potatoBiscuits and gravy w eggsService was excellent!Parking was easy.Looking forward to trying new dishes.“
“My mom took me here a week ago. I came back a few days after. I absolutely love this hole in a wall. They are SUPER ADORABLE and you get a lot of food for the price. The bangus is amazingly crispy! The meals come with rice, a slice of tomato, a slice of cucumber, and the ulam. The vinegar is not overwhelmingly acidic, it goes very well with everything. I wish I lived and worked closer. This would definitely be my go to place.“
“Excellent, spicy fried chicken. Easily the best I’ve ever had, and the pieces were large. I also had the fried okra, which was perfectly crisp. The baked beans were just the right amount of sweetness with a little bit of spice.Parking is extremely limited. Google maps shows a larger parking lot, but most of it is restricted to the residents of the building next door. You may need to park on the street and walk if you come during the busy time. Also, the restaurant is on the small side, so be prepared for a wait if they are busy.“
“Didn't take any pictures, but there's so much variety with this place! Next time I'm coming back, I'm definitely getting their $27 box of 6! Oh, and their dessert Nutella + Banana Empanada was really good! Sorry! No pics!“
“Well I went to “Sun Nong Dan” first, but experienced some terrible behavior from the server seating us. So I left and took a leap of faith and went to the restaurant next door. I was so happy with this decision! The service was amazing. Everyone was kind and attentive. The spicy beef soup was on point too. I will absolutely be coming back!“
“A true gem of the valley. I absolutely love Millie’s. The staff is so genuinely friendly. The food is fantastic and the prices make it my go to breakfast, lunch, dinner. There ain’t many diners like Millie’s anymore. I hope this place out lives me!“
“Truly a local gem. Its one of those places that where you feel like you are home and you get a warm and fuzzy hug from your loving grandma and being served an amazing, silky, smooth substantial, flavorful broth. The banchan is also part of the experience, where your palate is primed for that comfortable wonderful feeling from the soup.“
“Oh my god this is just super delicious chicken with lemon pepper, it's something magical, I'm delighted with the very tasty dishes, the service is at the highest level, pleasant, smiling and friendly staff, everything in the room is very clean and tidy, a great place for lunch and dinner with the family, incredibly tasty I can't stop talking about this again and again, you guys are just magicians, thank you very much to everyone and my recommendations, I definitely give 5 stars, if I could I would give 10 stars you are the best“
