This is a Korean restaurant on Friendship Highway in the Angeles Korea Town area. It puts jokbal and bossam on its signboard, and it also serves a wide range of dishes including noodles, jeongol (hot pot), and gimbap. There are records showing it was already open in 2011. A 2022 review says it has stayed in the same spot for more than 10 years. There is also a branch of the same name in Clark, and one review refers to this location as the "Korean Town branch" to tell the two apart.
Many reviews say the jokbal and bossam are tender and chewy, and one review says adding a tray of jaengban guksu (cold noodles) makes for a hearty spread. Several reviews also mention that the menu is wide, covering stews, hot pots, meat, and noodles, so everyone in a group can pick something different. Some reviews say the side dishes, including kimchi, are served the way they would be at a restaurant in Korea. Light meals such as kkoma gimbap (mini gimbap), kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), kaljebi (knife-cut noodles with sujebi dough flakes), and sujebi (hand-pulled dough flake soup) are also counted as specialties. A 2026 blog post says the hall is long, so it's easy to push tables together for a group, and the ventilation is good. On the other hand, there is a review saying the LA galbi was tough and sweet, and another saying the chicken in the dakbokkeumtang (braised spicy chicken) was tough. One longtime regular also says the taste isn't what it used to be since the Clark branch opened, so opinions vary by dish.
Jokbal and bossam are M ₱1,300 and L ₱1,500. The jokbal and bossam combo set, which lets you try both, is ₱1,400 (M) and ₱1,600 (L), and the spicy jokbal (buljokbal) and barbecue jokbal are ₱1,600. If you're dining alone, you can choose kimchi jjigae or doenjang jjigae (₱380), the jokbal and bossam set meal (₱430), or the single-serving bulgogi jeongol (₱480). For groups, kimchi jeongol, budae jjigae, and sogopchang jeongol (beef intestine hot pot) start at ₱1,100. One review says they enjoyed a filling meal of budae jjigae and kimchi jjigae with rice. A 2026 review says the frozen pork belly (₱300 per serving) is grilled in the kitchen and served on a plate, though the same review also noted with disappointment that the meat smelled that day.
According to Google Maps, takeout, delivery, and reservations are available, and it is marked as suitable for groups. Free street parking is available, but it appears there is no wheelchair-accessible entrance. One review says the signboard is large and easy to spot. It is right next to baboy grill, and Yellow Chicken (Norang Chicken) and Jung's Kitchen are within about 10 m. Blue Moon Dining Pub & Family KTV and Robinsons Easymart across the street are about 50 m away, and Jinbae Jokbal is about 100 m away. You can call to inquire.
