Great and responsive service! They are very friendly and they are also very helpful if its your first time!
Chun Ki Wa is my family's favorite Korean Restaurant. We go to the restaurant 2-3 times a month. The food is so good and the restaurant staff is the best!! This is such a hidden gem in Koreatown. I would highly recommend getting BBQ. We like the Non-Marinated meat and using the dipping sauces with Rice Paper. And don't forget the Mul Nang Myun!! They have the best Mul Nang Myun in LA!! Make sure you get there early because they can get busy for lunch and dinner!! 5 stars all the way around!!
My favorite KBBQ in LA! Order the Chadol and galbi. Anna was our waitress and she is the sweetest :) must go!

Drove from the west side to get some cold noodles. The mission was worth it! Allison was so nice and the food was so good. Will be coming back.
Chung Ki Wa is my absolute favorite Korean restaurant in Los Angeles. I've been coming here for 30-35 years. The food is high quality. The service is outstanding. The restaurant is clean. The food is super tasty. Yuk Hwe. Korean style raw beef served with a raw egg, lemon, Asian pear, cucumbers. I've tried this dish here for my first time 30 years ago and have been hooked. They have the best Yuk Hwe in Los Angeles. Grade: A+ We ordered Set A from the menu. We chose marinated galbi. This was two generous pieces of high quality galbi on the bone. When cooking, it grilled perfectly and cut easily (tender). Grade. A We also chose beef brisket and tongue. The brisket was sliced perfectly and was tasty! High quality meat. Grade. A The tongue was super delicious! It was high quality pieces and when cooked it had a nice tender chew to it. Great flavor. Grade A+ Service was absolutely outstanding. Three ladies worked hard in unison to provide great customer service. Service Grade: A+ One thing that stood out to me during our meal was the the utensils were clean and new. The scissors that they provide to cut meats during your meal was sharp and cut the meat well. Other restaurants have cheap and dull cutlery. Overall impression: A+
The weather was a bit fair, but a friend and I were still craving a good naengmyeon+kalbi combo. Street parking was pretty easy even on a Saturday afternoon. Upon entering, the decor of the restaurant is fully saturated with dark wood panels and booths, which give the restaurant an old school traditional vibe. My friend and I both got our naengmyeon+kalbi combos and also added on a seafood pancake. Service was great and they would also check up on us once in a while to see if we needed anything. The naengmyeon was pretty decent and refreshing, but not the best I've had. There's another spot in ktown that has that #1 spot in my opinion. Despite that, the seafood pancake was surprisingly amazing and very thick with generous amounts of octopus and other seafood. Overall, a great spot for the classic naengmyeon+kalbi combo with a very chill atmosphere that caters to a more mature customer base.
Experienced a traditional Korean dinner. I want to acknowledge how exquisite the service is. My family and I felt so welcomed and cared for. We ordered the combo A which came with 3 meats of your choice, soybean stew and a drink. In addition, we ordered 2 of the cold noodles. The cold noodles come in large portions and is perfect for sharing! When we ordered 2, the staff was so kind to already divide the soup into 4 bowls and I still couldn't finish it lol. Very generous on the noodles. Pairs well with the mustard and vinegar they offer on the side. The combo A was very fitting and the quality of the meat did not disappoint! Though it may be pricey, it's worth every penny. I would recommend the short rib, brisket and pork belly. Overall, the dishes felt like home. Not too heavy on seasoning yet filled with flavor. I will be a returning customer!
