LA | Cozy Korean Eatery: Chunju Han-il Kwan 🇰🇷✨

I visited Chunju, run by a lovely Korean auntie, twice in one week—it’s that good! 🥰 Almost every classic Korean dish I craved was happily found on their menu. 🥢📜 🦪 Oyster Pancake – Not your average starchy pancake! This one’s packed with real eggs, green onions, carrots, and fresh oysters—crispy, flavorful, and perfect bite-sized joy. 🥕🍳 🦀 Crab Stew – My go-to pairing with soy-marinated crab! Rich, savory, and deeply satisfying. ✌️🍲 🥬 10 Types of Banchan – Yes, TEN little side dishes! Fresh, varied, and refillable. Plus, my favorite: Baekse-ju (herbal rice wine) 🍶🌿 🐟 Grilled Sole Fish – Surprisingly reminded me of the fish from London’s fish & chips—crispy outside, tender inside. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️ 🥩 Classic LA Galbi – Tender, marinated short ribs grilled to perfection. Sweet, smoky, and so flavorful! 🔥🍖 🍚 Abalone Porridge – Comfort in a bowl. Creamy, delicate, and utterly soothing. Perfect for the soul. 🥣💖 A true hidden gem for authentic, homely Korean flavors. Already dreaming of my next visit! 🌟🍽️ #LA #KoreanFood #LAEats #LAKoreanFood #Ktown #ComfortFood #HiddenGem #BanchanLove #SeoulFood #EatLikeALocal
