Got the lunch combos: 1 jokbal & 1 bossahm. The portion size is pretty big so two people could potentially share one if youre not super hungry. Flavors were great and the banchan was pretty decent. The bossahm was a good texture and wasn't super fatty or mushy. The jokbal was also nice and firm but not too chewy. I always go to Korean restaurants expecting less than stellar service and this place proved me right again. There's no rudeness or anything but there's just no attention being paid to the customers really. I don't mind it as long as everyone gets what they want - which we did.

Great lunch special with pretty good jok bal-tender and tasty. It comes with soybean stew and surprisingly lettuce, garlic, and jalapeños! You can't get this much food with only $17.99 in anywhere in LA

If you like Jokbal (braised pig feet dish from Korea) and Bossam (pork belly). This is a must spot to check out in Ktown. The meat is pleasantly aromatic with yummy spices and so so tender. Do try their Makgooksoo (spicy noodle salad) and Nokdoojeon (mung bean pancake). Also, Makgoli (traditional Korean rice wine) is a great paring option for their menu.

Jang Choong Dong Jokbal has been a KTown mainstay for quite some time (though has changed locations at least once). Located now in a small plaza with Tom Tom's Coffee, Jang Choong is a casual homely spot where you'll find folks that have likely been coming here for decades grab a dinner on a weekday. When we came, there was no wait and plenty of seating. The jokbal was well cooked and had good flavor and bite to it. The bossom was very fatty and delicious. Blood sausage here is solid. And the seafood pancake reminded me of a deep dish pizza - the thickest pancake I've had. Overall an enjoyable experience. Decent amount of free parking in the plaza. There's a few 30 min spots but not sure if it's closely checked.

Always great for take out! My mother in law always brings us a large order of soondae, bossam or jokbal, soondae gum (soup) and comes with all the sides and lettuce. Great Korean comfort food. One day I'll visit in person when we're in the area!

I didn't know that this is the best place to get braised pork hock aka jokbal in Ktown! Not even sure if they are on social media because most of the customers are our parents age and didn't see anyone younger than 60! But that's when you know that the place is legit! They also have to blood sausage, but I heard that you made me go here for the jokbal. We also got the spicy noodles and it complimented the jokbal along with soju from the market! We called to do a pick up about 20 minutes prior to going there. Parking can be tricky because the lot is small. Highly recommended! Not sure if they do ubereats though. Check them out if you're into jokbal!

This is by far the best pork belly / pork feet place in the LA area. I recommend only ordering the pig trotter's dish -- the meat is super soft and tender and I love how it is seasoned lightly so it's not too salty. My favorite part is eating the meat / collagen that is on the bones of the pig. However, I don't necessarily recommend the other dishes. We ordered the pork bone soup, but the soup was way too bland. They also did not cook it enough so the pork bone was not soft and it was really hard to eat the meat off the bones. Honestly, I think it is best to take-out the pig trotters and enjoy with some other food elsewhere.

If you're looking for some good pork feet and steamed pork belly, this is the place! As you can see in the picture, both of them are juicy, fresh and packed with flavors! Not much else on the menu other than this and always good with a couple glasses of soju! Giving 4 star because of service. Not really the best service. A couple of them were either condescending or had a tone but not enough to ruin the meal. When we came there weren't many other patrons there so we enjoyed that

OOoooooh yea, if you like JokBal. Jokbal is a Korean dish consisting of pig's trotters cooked with soy sauce and spices. It is usually braised in a combination of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and rice wine. Additional ingredients used can include onion, leeks, garlic, cinnamon and black pepper. I've never had it fresh like this before and YES, it makes a huge difference compared to store bought or frozen jokbal! EVERY table in the restaurant had an order of the JokBal. I got the Large size for 3 people and we had plenty leftover to take to-go. Large size is likely good for a party of 4! They provide plenty of sides and lettuce to make lettuce wraps with sauces and garlic slices etc! If you crave jokbal, go here. If you haven't tried jokbal before, go here! I'm definitely coming back here whenever I visit LA. I even got a Large jokbal TO GO!!!! I paid an extra $2 and they vacuum sealed it for me!!!
