OUR MISSION
Soowon is a province in South Korea that is known for their flavorful and high-quality meat. Its famous galbi can be dated back to the 1940s.
Our banchan (side dishes) and traditional Korean cuisine are influenced by the taste of the Jeolla province, the culinary powerhouse of South Korea.
We have preserved those authentic flavors to bring to Koreatown in Los Angeles. Although we are most famous for our sweet and savory Soowon House Galbi that is marinated for 48 hours, we offer a variety of other premium cuts that will melt in your mouth with a dip of salt for flavoring.
Korean barbeque at Soowon is a collective experience where banchan (side-dishes), meat, and stews are shared.

TESTIMONIALS
You get quality meats here and excellent service. I had no idea the staff cooks the food for you so that was a bonus (if that's your kind of thing.) everything was very well marinated and very tasty. I recommend staying away from the cold noodle soup, I thought it was mediocre. The broth lacked the vinegary tartness I was expecting and the noodles were too thin. Other than that, everything else is very good. Parking was a breeze but maybe because I arrived earlier than the time folks normally have dinner (around 6pm).

Restaurant Client“Valet parking and long wait... Totally ok because LA. Food is great and service helps you out with the cooking and refills sides when necessary. I enjoyed it immensely- we got a triple combo for 3 and my God the food just kept coming! Really great, fresh ingredients.”

Restaurant ClientFor the price, the taste and quality of the food you're getting is insane. The salad that comes is nice and refreshing. We ordered 1 set of beef for the two of us, and although it looked small, the beef was extremely tender and juicy.
I would recommend getting lettuce wraps to eat the kbbq with, and play around with the different side dishes.
The bone beef broth soup was really tasty for the price, and it had a large portion as well.
