About Hwangtae
- 01We are at 3498 W 8th St, Los Angeles, CA 90005, in Koreatown — two blocks south of Wilshire Boulevard, between Normandie Avenue and Western Avenue. The two closest Metro D Line stations are Wilshire/Normandie and Wilshire/Western.
- 02We are open every day from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. Last order is taken 30 minutes before closing.
- 03Yes. Free self-parking is available in the lot behind the building, and valet is available during dinner service.
- 04Not at the moment — we are walk-in only. If you are coming with a group of six or more, call us at (213) 315-5085 and we will tell you what the wait looks like.
- 05Every hansang and tang comes with rice and banchan. There is nothing extra to order — it arrives with the bowl.
- 06Yes. Banchan is self-serve at our banchan bar and refills are free. Take as much as you like.
- 07Most of the menu is not. Hwangtae-guk, hwangtae seaweed soup, hwangtae dumpling soup, seolleongtang and galbitang are all mild. Yukgaltang and grilled hwangtae are the spicy dishes. Our soft tofu stew comes white by default, with a spicy version at the same price.
- 08Hwangtae-guk and seolleongtang are both mild and go down easily with children. Rice comes with every soup.
- 09Yes. Pickup orders can be placed directly through Toast on our Order page — ordering direct means no third-party fees. Delivery is available through DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub.
- 10Yes, we have three private rooms. We don't take reservations, so rooms are first come, first served. If you're coming with a group, call us at (213) 315-5085 and we'll tell you whether one is open.
- 11Yes. We serve beer, soju and makgeolli. Makgeolli goes especially well with the chickpea pancake and the crispy dried pollock.
