🇺🇸 LA Food Diary Day 5 | Louders – Overhyped & Overpriced? 🍙🔥

I’ve been wanting to try Louders since last year, and finally made it — but was it worth the hype? Let’s break it down. Located in Ktown, where self-parking is basically nonexistent 🚗💸. We arrived at 4 PM for a 5 PM opening. The plaza had plenty of spots, but all were reserved for mandatory valet ($5) — felt like a forced fee. Once inside, here’s what we ordered: ⭐ Spicy Octopus & Pork Belly Fried Rice + Cheese Flavorful and spicy with generous pork belly, but light on octopus. Got a bit heavy after a while. Not cheap, but decent. ⭐ Garlic Butter Fried Chicken The wings were crispy, but the flavor was too mild — needed more punch. ⭐ Spicy Chicken Feet (Maximum Heat) Tender, sweet, and spicy — pretty tasty and well-seasoned. ⭐ Rose Pasta A generous portion, but just average. Maybe ordering pasta at a Korean spot wasn’t my brightest idea 😅 ⭐ Sausage & Rice Cake Skewer $5 per skewer — the sausage had a nice smoky flavor, but not a must-order. 💖 Overall: 3/5 Stars The bill came out to $180 for two, with a minimum 18% tip — no option to adjust. Only the spicy octopus rice felt worth it. The rest? More hype than flavor 👅 Won’t be returning — too expensive for what you get. #LoudersLA #KtownEats #OverratedLA #HonestFoodReview #KoreanFood
