What a hidden gem. I dare say the best kbbq I've ever had in Koreatown and I've tried all of them. You should get the 삼겹살, 항정살 and 고추장찌개 for sure.

Literal hidden gem. If you're looking for an authentic traditional Korean BBQ experience, look no further. 도꺼비집 (Toad House) is one of the BEST I've had in LA. Super underrated and extremely overlooked. The atmosphere and food is soo good, I felt like I was actually in Korea. The owner is super cool and actually really funny. Don't fall for those typical fancy looking Korean restaurants, serving you low quality food for stupid high prices. 12/10.

We visited 1:30 pm on Sunday afternoon. The door was closed but a lady came out and let me in. Customers were only is but we had good service. We had pork belly BBQ, squid and beef tartar which didn’t disappointed. We paid total $160 for three people.

Pork belly is good. It’s thick and fat portion balance is good to enjoy meat flavor enough.
With stir-fried kimchi and green onion kimchi make more perfect. Stew goes well with meat. Staff is also friendly and good service 🙂

If you like pork belly Korean style this is the place! It's a hole in the wall but delicious. When I am here I feel like I am in Korea:)
