Chef Roy Choi has done it again. He has created an incredible restaurant that serves some of the best Korean-Mexican food you’ll ever have.Pro-tip: come here instead of going to one of his food trucks. The reason is, this place serves the EXACT same items as the food trucks (plus more) with no wait! Food trucks easily take 45 minutes to an hour, but you can be seated and eating here in 15 minutes!I’m so glad my friend showed me this place otherwise I would’ve missed out on an incredible experience.We both each got a chicken bowl. This bowl has jasmine rice and a fried egg as well as some sweet, spicy, and tangy Asian sauces. It was so good and fresh, and the rice was a little crispy which gives it such a good texture.We also got their pork quesadilla. This is the best quesadilla I’ve ever had hands down. The cheese was fresh and not packaged. It was so creamy and chewy, and paired with the perfectly marinated and cooked pork as well as the super crispy tortilla, it was incredible. They even put a tangy green sauce all over the top that adds a little zing.We last had to get their French fries. Potentially best fries ever. I haven’t had fries as crispy as these. The crispness as well as the Asian inspired seasoning was unforgettable. They even give a ketchup/sriracha sauce to go with it.Overall, super easy 5/5 to give. This blew my mind away! Come here if you have the opportunity.

We really enjoyed the Blackjack Quesadilla and Korean-spiced fries. Tasty additions to the martini and Buddha beer we ordered, too.

Delicious food and drinks. Shared the tacos (tried one of each meat) and the Pac-Man quesadilla— both were great! The inside and outside ambiances are very different so depends what you’re feeling like that day. Would definitely go back.

Amazing food, who doesn't appreciate Roy Choi kogi beef in LA ??The sweet chili quesadilla, short rib sliders, tacos, drinks!!! So tasty but simple...simple food done well is harder than you think.Not expensive (to me) I'd say $20 per person...that includes a drink and food to fill you up...they come in share sizes unless you're greedy like me lolAwesome bartenders and staff, great outdoors and warm if you drink enough. (But summer is coming so who cares)Gets busy around 8 but it's worth a little wait. Easy spot for a group, alone or date night.Inside has a very chill, dark vibe and the outside is bright with twinkle lights.

Used to be a great meeting place, but is now enforcing a vaccine mandate for customers.

Dammm best tacos I’ve had. I’ve never wanted to eat every single piece of lettuce. Thank you Ian for the amazing service & recommendations.

Good food and drinks .. definitely going back as soon as my next off day ..

AMAZING kogi food, great beer selection, friendly staff with great ambiance.

Reasonable prices, interesting wines....I'll be back very soon. Initiallylow key...but as the night builds standing room only. Great vibe to this place. Go now...

Strong cocktails and Kogi Tacos! Can't go wrong. Try the taco combo and choose between short rib, pork, chicken or tofu. The short rib are the bomb. Get a Negroni or old fashioned to wash them down! Yum.
