" One of my go-to places for samgye tang when I am in need of comfort food! The broth is simple yet packed with flavor. The young chicken gets cooked perfectly, and each spoonful is nourishing. Whether it's a rainy night or if I am feeling under the weather, Buil Samgye Tang never fails to deliver. The owner and staff always greet me with warmth and respect. It's become a favorite place for me and friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best samgye tang in Los Angeles - no contest. This is the only place where I have genuinely enjoyed every bite. The broth is robust, and the chicken is soft and succulent. I recommend asking for additional salt because it comes a bit tame, but to me it’s a part of the experience. The simple interior feels homey and the staff are always friendly. Even with minor parking issues, it's worth every effort. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Buil Samgye Tang fills me with warmth and comfort. I've been coming here for years, and their samgye tang never fails to impress. This time I brought my family, and everyone loved the food as much as I do. The portions are generous—correctly filling without being overwhelming. The atmosphere is warm, and the staff are attentive but not intrusive. I felt welcomed from the moment I walked in. Each bowl of soup just hits the spot. Keep up the great work! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ginseng chicken soup here is the real deal! Perfectly balanced flavors in the broth and a generous portion of chicken that just falls off the bone. The only critique is about the limited selection of banchan. Otherwise, the cozy setting and friendly service made for a delightful meal. Although parking can be tricky, this place is an absolute must visit if you're in Koreatown. I’m definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect for any day but especially when you're feeling under the weather. The samgye tang is so nourishing and hearty. The staff here are kind and incredibly welcoming, almost like family! I could sit here for hours enjoying the soup. The only downside was I was too full for dessert. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" A true taste of Korea right in Koreatown! The samgye tang was everything I wanted it to be: comforting, warm, and authentic. I've been to multiple places, but Buil Samgye Tang stands out for its genuine flavors and attentive service. It felt cozy inside with a great homely vibe. Just be mindful of the parking situation, as it can be tight. This will definitely be my go-to for chicken soup! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Buil Samgye Tang enough for a comforting meal! The ginseng chicken soup was not only delicious but also very nourishing. It was like a healing potion, especially on rainy nights! The owner was genuine and warm, which added to the experience. The only downside was that the parking is quite limited, but I believe it's totally worth it for such outstanding comfort food!
