I love traveling to Los Angeles, and as I was going to visit Korean town, it means, I visited USA and South Korea at once this restaurant, located in a ground floor of a hotel "Home-tel suites" is just amazing. Their food is amazing! Fresh ingrediences combined with great cooking skills. I tried many various dishes, and fell in love with their kim-chi. Lovely staff is very kind and happy to explain details about dishes. As tourist, it was very interesting for me to observe the traditional Korean barbecue and the tables and equipment, that the restaurant has. I am familiar with European cuisine and this is very different even in therms of serving. I loved the experience! I have noticed, locals do go to this restaurant often, and you know, they say, when restaurant is often visited by locals, that means it must be damn good. And Ondal is! They are in their spot for many years and I wish them many successful years to come!
The crab stew was ok, but the fried rice at the end was the winner! Service was sweet and attentive although language was a barrier. $3 valet. Parking: $3. About a dozen spots -- entrance is just west of the restaurant and through a driveway below
