BOILER — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Boiler is a new Korean Restaurant in Ktown. Looks like they specialize in SSul-Lung-Tang ( Long time boiled Beef and Beef bone soup ) and Some of meat dishes (Korean braised Dished) for sharing and drinking. Simular to Sun Nong Dan.

Food 4.5 /5 I went by myself to eat SSul-Lung-Tang. The soup is better than Sun nong dan. about same as Yang Dong. Clean. and non MSG tasting ( some others use msg ) This is type of soup old Korean grandma's prefer. No nonse. I did not try the other dishes yet.

Would be good for quick meal, Or Order those CheeseShort rib, and other meaty dishes for drinking nights with freiends.

Holding 1 star for few more visits.

• 72 Hours * The beef broth turn white when you boil the hell out of it in long time. Boiler claims they boils for 72 hours. The broth is clean and shows the long process.

To-go They sell SSul-Lung-Tang and bone soup base ( hell~ hot pot) It's hard to find this in Ktown where they make the beef/bone broth and packed it in to-go pack.

Parking 5/5 Private Free Parking. Ample Parking ( other business in the plaza are small businesses) No issues.

Space 5/5 I didn't expect this, but this restaurant is brand new, and interior is clean. There is booths for groups, and Tables. Everything is new. table, chair, water bottle.. Interior is moden casual.

Menu 4/5 Only have digital menu. I'm a Korean and I know how to navigate, but it can be a but confusing.

Overall Food was good. Parking is easy. 72 hours boiled beef soup base is welcome. The restaurant is brand new.

If you are sick of Sun Nong Dan's Crazy line and impossible parking, while getting better soup, and simular menu, This spot might hit the need.

Good for day time meal, or night time drinking and with...

I recently visited Boiler for dinner, hoping to try something new, but I left very disappointed. I ordered the spicy pork rib jjim and seollungtang, and while the restaurant was clean and the waitress was friendly, the food was underwhelming. My sister and I were excited to try this new spot, but after the meal, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Our total bill, including tip, was over $70 for just the two dishes — $35.99 (before tax) for the spicy pork rib jjim alone. For that price, we received only four small pieces of pork, topped with a layer of rock-hard cheese. That breaks down to about $10 per piece of pork, which wouldn't have been bad if it tasted good. Unfortunately, the meat was dry and lacked any flavor. The seollungtang was equally disappointing. If you're looking for good Korean food, I’d recommend heading to 전통 instead. Honestly, save your money and go somewhere else — anywhere else — where the food actually lives up...

8/30/2025 - Boiler in Korea Town was open in February 2025. The restaurant is clean with four comfortable booths as well as nine open tables.

The foods we ordered are excellent - the beef bone broth is simmered for 3 days, which creates a creamy and bight color of white broth while the thin beef is tender.

The short rib taste is so delicious with the just right sweetness, which beats the same dish at the special dining restaurant in one of the cruise ships we had tried.

Yes, the price here is high in comparison to others in KTown.

A small free parking lot is available in front of...
