My Go-To Korean Casual Eats in LA’s Ktown 😋
📍 Ham Hung Restaurant 3109 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90006 This is the first time I’ve felt so inspired to share a food spot — this casual Korean restaurant in Ktown is an absolute favorite of mine and my bestie’s! Whether we’re coming from dance practice, a show, or a game, we always end up here. The owner uncle and the aunties working there are super sweet — they even gave us free black bean soy milk because we visit so often! 🥛💕 My Top Picks: 🥇 Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) I never used to eat tteokbokki, but theirs changed my mind! The rice cakes are incredibly soft, chewy, and flavorful — so are the fish cakes. The onions and carrots add nice texture, and the seasoning is 진짜 맛있어요 (really delicious)! 🥈 Spicy Chicken Leg Soup (Dakbokkeumtang) The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender, and the portion is generous. The spice level is just right — not too overwhelming. Pro tip: mix it with rice! So comforting and satisfying 🍗🔥. 🥉 Bibimbap / Seafood Soft Tofu Stew / Pork Kimchi Stew You can find these dishes at many places, but here they’re affordable, perfectly portioned for two girls, and always taste fresh. Simple, hearty, and consistently good — we love it! 🍚🥘 #LA #Ktown #Foodie #KoreanFood #CasualEats #ComfortFood #HiddenGem #MustTry
