Toad House - 두꺼비집 — Restaurant in Los Angeles

A truly authentic Korean BBQ experience that feels like being welcomed into a family's home. The son provided attentive service with excellent recommendations - the beef brisket and pork belly were perfectly marbled and cooked beautifully on the traditional grill. The homemade kimchi (cabbage and scallion), made by the mother herself, was exceptional with a unique fizzy, bright flavor that sets it apart from any other kimchi I've tried.

What makes this place special is the family atmosphere - watching the mother cooking in the kitchen while the son takes care of guests with genuine hospitality. The tofu side dishes were delicious and generously replenished. At around $30-40 per meat dish, the quality justifies the price point compared to all-you-can-eat options.

So, I just ordered the kimchi soup. She would have just answered that we didn't offer it. That's it. But, her attitude.. I would never never go there again. I just don't want people to have the same experience with me. And it was...

Just on the edge of K- Town, the hidden gem of a KBBQ place that not a lot of people know about. The friend of mine is closed to owner and old friend the owner always welcome me with friend. Their traditional style of pork belly is always fresh and great. Loved their special green onion kimchi and hot pepper paste soup were amazing! It is cozy inside and nice patio for outdoor seating in the back. Nothing fancy but makes you feel like home. I remember that night I came here at first time with friend I was very happy to know this place. They opens until...
