LA | Boolieya | Gooey Pumpkin Cheese Heaven!

After work, my friend and I decided to grab dinner in Ktown—somewhere low-key just to chat and unwind 🍽️💬 Her partner mentioned Boolieya was just okay, so we didn’t arrive with high expectations. But wow—tastes really do differ from person to person! I fell in love with their pumpkin cheese fondue 🎃🧀✨ I’d never seen anything like it—the pumpkin added a natural sweetness that kept the cheese from feeling too heavy. Paired with the savory stir-fried chicken underneath, it was the perfect sweet-salty combo 🤤🔥 The soy-marinated raw shrimp were another standout—thicker, richer sauce than usual, and each shrimp head was full of roe! 🦐💛 The grilled pork belly had a nice char, adding a subtle smoky aroma without being overly greasy. They have outdoor seating, which was perfect for the current weather ☀️🌿 On a weekday, it wasn’t crowded at all—not one of those overly hyped Ktown spots, which made it ideal for long, relaxed conversations. We ordered so much we couldn’t finish it all 🥢 Total came to about $56 per person, but with normal ordering, you could easily keep it around $30—that stir-fried chicken portion is seriously huge! 😂 #Foodie #LAEats #KoreanFood #KtownLA #CheeseLover #ComfortFood #HiddenGem #WeeknightDinner #SweetAndSavory #ShareAMeal
