Korean Oppa’s Top Pick for Authentic LA Korean Food! 🇰🇷✨

My one Korean friend always brings his foreign friends here. He says the owner immigrated a long time ago, so the flavors stay super traditional — even more authentic than some places in Korea today. “Gam Ja” in the name means potato 🥔, but it also refers to pork spine, so we ordered their signature — gamjatang (pork spine & potato stew) 🍲. The perilla leaves 🍃 soaked in the broth taste incredible! If you don’t like perilla, you can ask them to leave it out. The meat is super tender, potatoes soft and flavorful — so delicious! 🤤 The banchan is also on point! At the end, they even serve freshly stir-fried kimchi seaweed rice — slightly tangy and seriously tasty! My friend also highly recommends traditional Korean rice wine — makkoli 🍶 (he’d already had two bottles at lunch 😂). It tastes like beer mixed with sparkling water, but I still prefer yogurt soju. The place is almost all Koreans, very few foreigners — feels like stepping into a local Korean joint!
