Gam Ja Chon

Home-style Korean food with a warm, welcoming owner. The pork spine stew is cooked perfectly tender with a classic, no-nonsense spicy gochujang flavor. The best part is the “fried rice finale”—they stir rice into the leftover broth and reduce it until it’s packed with flavor. Also loved the boiled pork wraps with spicy sauce, garlic, and bellflower root in napa cabbage. Comfort food done right.

Such a great spot! The food tastes super authentic and comforting. The gamja tang was so flavorful and rich — definitely one of the best I’ve had. The bossam (served after 5pm) was also amazing — super tender and packed with flavor. Portions are big, prices are fair, and the servers were honestly the sweetest. You can tell they really care about their customers. Highly recommend if you’re craving solid Korean food!

The most horrible service I’ve received in my entire life. Incredibly rude, feels like I was begging them for a refill. Never got the side dishes I asked for. I tipped just out of human decency but not because I wanted to. Very stressful and unpleasant dining experience, will never ever come back or recommend anyone to come here. Spend your money elsewhere, there’s so many good Korean food place in LA.

This Korean restaurant is the specializes in Gamja Tang (Potato Ribs Soup). You can tell from the name of the restaurant. The meals they provide are large and not expensive. I have eaten here many times.

Piping hot family style pork rib soup. Always packed on the weekends.
