"Specialties: Porridge This sleepy porridge spot in Koreatown is a great place for a work lunch when you have the sniffles, a casual weeknight dinner, or tearing up at the adorable elderly couple at the table over. Bon Juk is a quiet spot that serves lots of different types of porridge - including pumpkin, black sesame, and red bean. Our favorites, though, are the ones with ginseng chicken or mixed seafood - filled with abalone, shrimp, and mussels. The porridge itself is thick but never mushy, and particularly good when you amp it up with the marinated beef and kimchi banchan options." - Brant Cox, Nikko Duren, Sylvio Martins

"There are plenty of excellent bars in Koreatown, so it makes sense that there are also plenty of places to nurse a hangover. When we’re really in pain, we prefer porridge, and Bonjuk makes our favorite. It’s thick, hearty, and, according to the menu, healthy, including one bowl that’s supposed to cure weariness, and another that aids in detoxification. So basically, perfect for a hangover. We usually go for the pumpkin, the chicken ginseng, or the beef and mushroom - all of them come pretty unseasoned, which is good if you’re having stomach issues, but you can add in banchan to make them more flavorful.

"Contrary to popular belief (and your co-worker’s Instagram strategy), sometimes, less is more. Take Bonjuk for example - this quiet spot on Wilshire is as sleepy as they come, but their tremendous bowls of porridge speak for themselves. Our go-tos are the ones made with ginseng chicken and mixed seafood (abalone, shrimp, mussels, etc.). Available for takeout and delivery." - brant cox, kat hong

"Part of a popular Seoul-based chain and located on the ground floor of an office building, Bon Juk is an ode to rice porridge, the ultimate Korean comfort food. Oversize photos of its various types hang on the wall, acting as a kind of communal menu, and feature popular iterations like chicken and ginseng, black sesame, and octopus and kimchi. On those rare chilly LA days, this is the place to come for a warming, satisfying—utterly Korean—meal. "

I enjoyed eating juk here because it was warm and comforting. I think the price is much, but California living I guess. I recommend getting the shrimp juk because it comes out HOT and flavorful. The shrimp portion is just right because you want to eat a spoonful of juk and a piece of shrimp on the top!

PROS: - Excellent food: Chicken porridge with oriental ingredients and the seafood porridge tasted so good! After eating them, I felt satisfied and healthy. The portions were huge! It came with delicious side dishes as well that complimented the porridge - Wait time: We received our food in a reasonable amount of time (about 10 minutes). - Ambiance: It was in a food court, but it was very clean! The seats and tables for Bonjuk were quite nice. NO CONS! Would I come here again? YES

Comfort food for the soul and tummy. Had the Samgae (chicken with oriental ingredients) for supper. Came back the next morning for Octopus and Kimchi. Really tasty, full of ingredients, with small sides like kimchi and radish. Recommend you just eat it fresh and steaming so that the satisfaction goes right to your core. So. Freaking. Good. You know a place is legit when Koreans are ordering non stop. Was brought back to Insadong Seoul when I first tried Bonjuk and this did not disappoint. This place made me happy. T^T

Delicious and comforting! BokJuk LA serves rich, flavorful porridge with fresh ingredients and perfect seasoning. The kimchi and sides were amazing, and the service was friendly. A must-try for Korean comfort food lovers!

❗️$15 min for cards! This place is awesome! I literally fell in love. They have a lot of options! The bowl with porridge is huge plus you’re getting side dishes. I liked my $13 Mushroom & Oyster Porridge so much that ordered a Pumpkin one to go to try (they give you all the side dishes to go as well) Will definitely come back when I’m next time in LA.

FYI they moved locations to the food court in California Market! Address: 450 S Western Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90020 This location is definitely an upgrade from their previous location since parking is free and plentiful now. For those who don't know, juk is Korean porridge and is a staple in every Korean's life. My mom would always give me juk when I was sick and not feeling well. Bonjuk takes that home-made taste and elevates it to another level. So far, I've tried their Samge (chicken) juk as well as their Seafood Combo juk. Samge juk (10/10): Samge juk is very hearty and soul warming. It comes with a lot of chicken and huge portions. This one is definitely my go-to and would recommend. Seafood Combo (9/10): If you're more into seafood, I would recommend getting the Seafood Combo. When I eat this, it feels like I've been transported to a seaside village in Busan. The juk doesn't taste or smell fishy at all and has a very clean taste.

We were craving some savory porridge and this was the place to be. A restaurant dedicated to juk. Great for cold or sick days. But I could go for this any day. I ordered the tuna vegetable option and it was extremely tasty. The side pickles are delicious. We kept asking for more kimchi. Good portion size, but I know my male comrade was still hungry by the end. A healthy lunch, indeed.

Food: 8/10 Service: 7/10 Ambiance: 7/10 If you're sick or ever craving korean porridge, this is the place to go. Like this is the place that Koreans go in KOREA to go for porridge, so it's legit. The only thing that gets to me are the prices, but we're in LA so what can we do. It's just in a food court so there's not much of an ambiance. But good food. And a lot of it. I don't eat a lot, and I think this porridge lasted me three days LOL

Bonjuk isn't just another restaurant, it's a warm hug for your soul (and stomach) on a chilly day. This spot has become my undisputed champion of Korean porridge, and here's why you need to try it. Porridge perfection is their game. They offer a variety of broths and toppings, but you can't go wrong - every combination sings with flavor. The broth is rich, savory, and unbelievably satisfying - like a warm hug in every spoonful. The kimchi adds the perfect textural contrast, making it a flavor and texture party in your mouth. The vibe at Bonjuk is casual and cozy. It's the perfect place to relax, savor a comforting meal, and escape the city's hustle and bustle. Bonjuk is a must-try for anyone craving authentic Korean porridge. Their flavorful broths, perfectly cooked rice, and variety of toppings create an unforgettable dining experience. The casual and cozy atmosphere just adds to the whole experience. Be prepared, this place might become your new favorite comfort food haven - trust me, it's that good!

Light flavor porridge. Looks and tastes pretty healthy. The side dishes adds flavors into it. But the porridge itself leaves your mouth pretty dry. Barely waiting time and plenty of seatings. 4/5

Ambiance: it's located inside the food court hall on top of the grocery market, you grab your food tray and return to same counter Service: very impatient and rushed with order although they weren't busy at all Food: simple menu items only porridge Banchan - * kimchi and beef, which wasn't fresh and caused diarrhea later Samgae (Chicken with Oriental Ingridients) Porridge - ** This is korean traditional food "samgyelang" which has nutritions and korean ginseng, also it is effective for the recovery from weaniness and illness, weird mixed flavors Abalone Porridge - *** This is korean traditional dish for Royal houscholds which helps to build up the liver function and also good for the recovery from weariness and illness, light taste and chewy abalone Price: overpriced for its mediocre quality, expect about $20~$25 per person

Good Korean porridge. It's located on the third/top floor of the California market place. They sell both sweet and savory porridge, and would recommend trying their kimchi octopus one, which is a little spicy but full of flavor. The octopus is always very tender! Also, all the side dishes (banchan) are so good! They are not just freshly made, and also pair so well with the porridge. Plus the portion is big and def shareable. It is worth a visit!

Doreen M.

I did not know porridge restaurants existed. My fave! Tried 2 types, really liked both. Would come back if in area. I wonder if they deliver??? Outdoor seating was great!

The chicken porridge at Bonjuk is one of the better porridge I've tried in Los Angeles. Although I have not tried the other offerings here yet, I'm sure those are of the same standard and quality. Imagine a bowl of creamy, articulately cooked rice porridge, each grain softened to a velvety texture, forming a comforting blanket that warms you from the inside out. The tender and succulent chicken melds seamlessly with the rice, its subtle flavors enriching the porridge without overpowering it. Personally, each spoonful brings homely comfort reminiscent of a lovingly prepared meal in a cozy, familial kitchen. It genuinely reminds me of the porridge my mother would make for me growing up during the winter seasons. The porridge's consistency is a testament to the care put into its preparation. It's not too thick and not too runny, achieving a delicate balance that only skilled cooking can provide. The chicken, cooked just right, retains its moisture and tenderness, becoming part of the porridge yet standing out with its distinct, comforting flavor. I had to get two wisdom teeth taken out yesterday, and when I asked my mother what is the best porridge restaurant in LA, she recommended BonJuk without any hesitation. I drove here and had an enjoyable conversation with the owner, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful as I chose my order. I received my order in ~15 minutes. As others have mentioned, the only caveat is that the wait time to receive your meal here could take longer than other places. However, one must also consider that this is a SMALL restaurant with limited staffing. It also is a testament to their careful and made-to-order technique to ensure quality meals. Worth the wait!

Wow! I've been to the top floor food court of California Market place before but I never had a chance to eat the porridge here. At the time I was looking for something that would be filling before a concert, and I had arrived a couple of hours early and had time to kill. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and because that date happen to be a pretty chilly and windy day, the special abalone porridge hit the spot! It wasn't very busy and I had a huge area just for myself. The cashier who took my order was very nice, and was very knowledgeable about what would be a great balance for my appetite. I was feeling hungry, but didn't want anything super heavy. The bite size kimchi was also just enough of a balance to the very rich abalone. Would love to come here again with family since there's a lot of options surrounding the food court and some of it is more to my parents taste.

Wilson A.

Yelp

I honestly don't know the last time I had Korean abalone porridge. There is something to be said about the aesthetics of this dish in addition to the flavors. As with many Korean food places in the area, it was a bit pricey, so I would keep that in mind beforehand. Still, I have zero regrets since it was delicious and refreshing. It is located upstairs in the food court of the California Market near Koreatown. Parking: The structure is part of the building, and there may be a time limit. As long as you are shopping here, I don't foresee a strong possibility that you will be cited or towed. FYI: - Have good balance. You end up with multiple dishes, so please be careful when carrying that tray to your table.

Jane K.

I got Covid this month and really couldn't keep down solids so I came across this place and wanted to try all three. Honestly it was a great portion but I think when you dine it the portions look bigger- not complaining though. Rice grains were not as thin as I like but flavor and taste excellent. Abalone didn't have much as it should but it's fine- inflation and everything I still enjoyed and liked the flavor. Hard to mess up sweet potatoe but chewy rice balls and creaminess is a perfect way to end the palate. I think the chicken samgaetang was my favorite- I didn't need any other sauces or salt added. I like to pour the soy sauce from the beef side dish into the porridge but that wasn't even needed. I had this for two days and didn't get tired. Really enjoyed will order from them again.

So comforting and so good. I order their Chicken and Pumpkin porridge and it's so satisfying and soothing for my stomach.

The food was simply some of the best that I have had in all of Los Angeles. I had the beef and mushroom juk and it was so tasty that I just finished it all (plus the side dishes) in less than 15 minutes. The customer service was some of the best by the workers. The ambiance of this restaurant fit in the best out of the food court. You come to Koreatown and you come to this center to get Korean food. This is by far the restaurant that exemplifies what that is. I will definitely be coming here, even if the line is super long, many times in the future.

Sabrina R.

First time at Bonjuk. Service - sufficiently fast even though it was a Friday night and they had a good flow of customers. My order was taken by a very pleasant lady, who was patient and kind. We tried the sweet pumpkin and the abalone porridge. Yum. Bachan: especially liked the kimchi and the little beef sticks in soy sauce. Will return. Yum.

Comforting jook with high quality ingredients, I got the special abalone porridge and they didn't skimp out on the abalone. I love their banchan and there are plenty of outdoor seatings at the rooftop. Perfect breakfast in winter

We got the regular abalone porridge, which was a pretty generous and filling portion, with quite a bit of abalone. It was ~$22, and came with a cold soup, kimchi, soy sauce braised beef and this other spicy sweet condiment. I didn't think it tasted particularly flavored, but was warm and comforting. It's in a food court, so when you get upstairs, walk towards the back, where you see Thanks Pizza. The rooftop is pretty with flowers and string lights, and is a chill place. Food was a bit pricey and not too flavorful.

David Y.

No frills, good Korean porridge with very simple side dishes that complement the porridge insanely well. Our go-to is the salmon veggie order.

Yoonseo C.

Decent Juk. They actually give a decent amount but the price is in my opinion a little high. Maybe because In korea this isn't as expensive but if you are sick and having hard time digesting this would be great.

Boram C.

My husband and momz is under the weather! Perfect eat for light sick folks! Got the abalone porridge and was impressed with amount of abalone. Loved the shiitake in the porridge.

Jeremy S.

Pros -the Juk is one of the best in LA -the octopus juk is my favorite -free parking structure Cons -for some reason when it's a full hour before closing the owner/worker doesn't serve the Juk in a regular but only a to go container with significantly smaller portions -pricey

Clinton C.

Yelp

FREE parking structure in ktown wow. It's located on the third floor above a supermarket. Nice rooftop ambiance and has plenty indoor seating as part of a larger clean food court. Traditional Korean porridge with a thicker texture. They have a wide variety of porridge that's more unique than most Asian spots (black sesame, sweet pumpkin, and ginseng chicken porridge), so I'm interested in trying the entire menu. I had the abalone and it was more flavorful compared to most porridge so that was a plus. It also had a lot more pieces of abalone than you would typically expect. This is an ideal menu for when it's cold and also for comfort food. It comes with multiple Korean side dishes like kimchi, beef, radish drink. The service is quick and kind. For takeout they have really nice packaging so no leakage and it's placed in a nice bag so nothing falls over on your ride back. It is a little more pricy compared to most places for porridge but I attribute that to its unique flavors and ingredients which you won't get at other spots.

Kariann T.

It was alright. The pork was a little too sweet and it took a while for the food to get to the table. I would definitely prefer going somewhere else for LA galbi or pork.

Deanna L.

Yelp

I had a random craving for Korean porridge and I haven't been to a legit Korean porridge place since my trip to Korea in 2016. Korean porridge has a thicker consistency and it is packed with ingredients such as meat or vegetables in every bite. I ordered the beef + mushroom and the abalone porridge and both were hearty and flavorful. The abalone porridge was slightly bland, but each meal includes a few banchans to compliment the dish. For porridge, the price is a bit steep. My total was $42 for two orders of porridge and I didn't even try the most expensive one yet for $32. If you have trouble finding Bonjuk, it is located inside the food court on the third floor of the California Market building. If I ever have a craving for Korean porridge again, guess I'll need to make another trip to LA.

Sunny O.

Yelp

My favorite place to order from when I'm not feeling well! They used to be on Wilshire, but looks like they've relocated to a food court on the 3rd floor of California Market! I usually get the seafood porridge and I love the sides they give you with your order. I'm very picky about my kimchi (I only like my mom or grandma's), so know that this place has my approval. For the price you pay, you get a very generous amount. I'd recommend either sharing or eat it all in one sitting. The porridge is the best when it's fresh and just cooked. The service is good and fast. I love the packaging because it's clean and organized. Highly recommend for someone who's getting over a hangover, sickness, or simply in the mood for some porridge!

Audrey I.

Yelp

Solid juk that warms the soul! The side dishes are always on point, and they serve dongchimi (pickled Napa cabbage broth) gratis. If you're ever craving chicken juk, definitely check out BonJuk. Do note that their prices are a bit on the steeper end though as the whole chicken juk set is a bit over $20. Regardless, quality is superb and the food is flavorful. Pro tip: make sure to request for side dish refills as you'll need the tang of the kimchi to cut through the porridge's savoriness!

Heather H.

Yelp

I grew up with Chinese style congees which are similar to juk but this is the first time I tried Korean juk. And I gotta say, it was So dang good! The kimchi octopus was amazing and I'll definitely be reordering. I also had the mushroom oyster which was delicious too! This is exactly what I'd want if I'm ever sick or feelin the need for some comfort food

Nataly G.

Yelp

Been a long time customer of theirs don't know why I haven't left a review but here I am. First and foremost thank you for your service Bon Juk. If you've never had Korean porridge it's never to late. My mom and I usually get the oyster and mushroom porridge and it's bomb.com all their sides are satisfying. My mom described it as comfort food and it is just that. We always leave satisfied and happy. So grateful they're still open for business despite their setbacks due to COVID.

Kelly S.

Yelp

This is my first stop any time I go to LA. I love juk. And their squid/kimchee juk is the best. I love specialty restaurants and they do juk really well. Good portions and the sides go well with the main course. They moved from their downtown location to K-town Gaju/CA Market food court.

Joanne K.

Yelp

Comfort food for cooler LA days. I ordered the chicken porridge which cost a little over $16. It took about 20 minutes but came out incredibly fresh and hot. I found the texture of Korean porridge very interesting. Korean porridge is denser and you can actually taste the whole rice grains. The chicken jook was incredible. At first It tasted slightly bland, but that's where the side dishes come in to add on the salty and umame flavors. You can use the side dishes to season each bite to your taste. The porridge had fresh pieces of vegetables including zucchini and carrots. Sick people and definitely elderly people would enjoy this dish. It is on the expensive side but worth it given the quality of ingredients and the sturdy take out packaging so it's worth a treat. I really enjoyed my experience eating hot porridge outside watching the LA skies. A great experience overall! Will be back.

Thessa V.

Yelp

Great Korean porridge stop! I didn't know what this shop was about until a co worker had me try it. The flavor is really good and light. I had the chicken one and it came with these cute little side bites. Each one had a flavor and style of its own that i practically blacked out from eating away as my palette changed with each side. If you're looking for a watery congee-like snack, note that this is not the style. But it's really a great alternative if you're in the mood for porridge. Can't wait to try more flavors soon!

Sara W.

Service was quick, and the beef and mushroom porridge was very delicious! It also comes with sides that complement the dish.

Go to spot for korean hot soup! Definitely a great comfort food. Parking is not the easiest here bc the lot is squished but I'm always able to find a spot and there's almost never a ticket required. The restaurant is located in the upstairs food court and the dining area is super nice. I recommend the Kimchi or classic pine nut soup. Reallly good and they give so many side dishes when you togo!

Mike K.

Yelp

I had the Samge (chicken) juk. It was excellent, like when Bon Juk was a sit down restaurant on Wilshire and not a food court restaurant. Pro-tip: ask for a spoon and little bit of salt, and combine a little of the spicy banchan with each bite. You're welcome. That is the review part of this comment. The main reason I am posting this review is to say and prove that the location of this business is incorrect. They have moved from the Wilshire location to the Food Court on the rooftop of California Market on 450 S Western Ave. I am posting a picture proving it. To Yelp: take a look at this proof and change the location. Also, it is NOT closed. Change that in the title. Do your job.

Jeena C.

Yelp

I ordered Togo for my mom because she was feeling under the weather. Hmmm.. I ordered the abalone congee, but it wasn't real abalone. I realized they used another shellfish that resembles abalone. As soon as I tasted it, I knew it wasn't it. It was truly a disappointment after paying $20 for a fake abalone congee... I will not be ordering from this place again.

Andre P.

Yelp

Deliciously packaged and paired perfectly with the side dishes. I got the mushroom with oysters jook and it's straight out down to earth comfort food! I could eat off this menu all week and be happy . Keep it up on Jook!

Anabell C.

Yelp

I'm so glad they didn't close BonJuk because they used to be located next to BCD on Wilshire but that plaza closed down. They are now on the third floor food court at California Market on 5th and Western. I ordered the Sweet Pumpkin Porridge and the Samgae Chicken Porridge. They gave a set of side dishes per porridge and they were all so good. This place is perfect for those who want a hearty Korean home meal!

Liz N.

The pine but porridge is amazing!!! This is my favorite place. I love the pumpkin porridge too! The kimchi on side is so good! I have never had anything like it.

Grace K.

Yelp

This is the best Korean porridge and comfort food place! They have so many different kinds of porridges to choose from. They have savory ones, nutty, and also sweet! My favorite savory one is their chicken porridge! It's super tasty and healthy. My other go-to is their pumpkin porridge, its the perfect amount of sweetness, and I absolutely love the big rice balls in there! My ALL-TIME favorite is their Pine Nut porridge!! They make it the best here. I get this whenever I'm sick or don't have an appetite. They make it the best here. I even crave it when I'm not sick, tho, haha. It's super nutty and comforting. :)

alex l.

Yelp

Like most Korean food, it's pricy. But like most Korean food you get some banchan (side dishes), nice packaging, and nice one time use utensils. Juk is always full of ingredients (not just rice) and I feel better after I've had some.

Ava C.

Yelp

Sooo good for when you're sick I get the samgye juk which is basically samgyetang (ginseng noodle soup) in porridge form and it was fire. twas a bit on the blander side but if course it's gonna be, it's porridge. with the little short rib they give you on the side, it is absolutely fire. good togo packaging too 10 out of 10 slays

Crystal D.

Yelp

Big portion could easily feed two people, but it was so good I ended up eating it myself. Side dishes are honestly the star of the show, and staff are very friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating in the food court area, so it's definitely a nice place to take friends :)

Cece L.

Yelp

So...literally drove 30 minutes just now to get some juk from here bc yelp and Google said they're open, only to find out they've been closed since December 31 when I got to the storefront...I called multiple times while driving to order ahead but their phone line wasn't working, which should've been the first clue that they were closed. Anyways, see picture I attached with this review. That's the sign on their door as of January 5, 2021. It says they will open at a new location.

There's absolutely no flavor in this stuff. I don't know where all of these reviews are coming from but the chicken juk has zero flavor lol

The pine but porridge is amazing!!! This is my favorite place. I love the pumpkin porridge too! The kimchi on side is so good! I have never had anything like it.
