LA | Super Authentic Korean Hot Pot with Whole Kimchi & Beef 🇰🇷

With all the rainy days in LA lately ☔️, nothing hits the spot like a warm, comforting Korean hot pot. When we walked in around 5-6 PM, it was pretty empty—but by the time we were halfway through our meal, the place was filled with Korean locals. Always a good sign! 🥘 Spicy Kimchi Pork Bone Stew (No. 18) For the first time, I watched the server cut up an entire long kimchi right at our table! The pot was loaded with mushrooms, tofu, and incredibly tender pork cartilage that soaked up the spicy broth perfectly. As a cartilage lover, I was in heaven! 🍖 Galbi Beef Bone Soup with Noodles (No. 13) Mild yet deeply flavorful—perfect for soothing the stomach (or a hangover!). It came with two huge beef ribs that kept me happily gnawing for a while. The clear broth with scallions was light but satisfying—so warm and comforting. 🥩 Spicy Beef & Offal Soup (No. 2) A rich and hearty bowl filled with tender tripe, well-seasoned beef, intestines, and veggies. I loved spooning the soup over purple rice—simple, cozy, and deeply satisfying. 🥟 Kimchi & Beef Dumplings (Combo) Juicy Korean-style dumplings packed with flavorful fillings. The kimchi version had just the right kick—great on its own or dipped in soup! What started as a quiet meal turned into a vibrant, full-house experience surrounded by Korean regulars. The servers were warm and happy to explain each dish. A true authentic gem! 🏠 Restaurant name not provided in original text 📍 Location: Los Angeles Koreatown #LosAngeles #LAFood #KoreanHotPot #KimchiStew #ComfortFood #KtownLA #AuthenticEats #RainyDayEats #LAEats #FoodieReview
