Ham Ji Park

Tucked into the bustling heart of Koreatown, Ham Ji Park stands out from the crowd of grill-your-own Korean BBQ spots. This energetic restaurant takes a different approach—instead of having you cook at your table, the kitchen handles the two signature dishes that have made this place a neighborhood favorite.

The star attractions here are the pork ribs and pork neck stew, both prepared with care in the back kitchen. The ribs arrive with a beautiful balance of sweetness and heat, while the aromatic stew offers deep, comforting flavors that pair remarkably well together. It might sound like a lot of pork for one meal, but the contrasting flavors actually complement each other beautifully.

Come hungry and bring friends—the portions at Ham Ji Park are genuinely generous. This isn’t the kind of place where you’ll leave wishing you’d ordered more. In fact, you’ll likely have enough leftovers to fuel your next adventure through K-Town’s vibrant nightlife scene.

Whether you’re showing visitors what LA’s Korean food scene is all about or just craving some seriously satisfying comfort food, Ham Ji Park delivers. The lively atmosphere, welcoming vibe, and those incredible ribs make it a must-visit for anyone exploring the neighborhood.
