"A no-frills Koreatown joint famous for its golden-brown, deeply spiced Peruvian rotisserie chicken—noted for garlicky skin, perfectly tender meat, and a distinctive smoke from a live fire that you can smell before you even enter. Stacks of hardwood line the perimeter, and it’s been a longtime family staple and local essential praised by chefs and critics. The usual routine is to call ahead for whole chickens and pick up takeout (parking can be tough), pairing the bird with rice, beans, French fries, a basic green salad with cucumbers, bell peppers, and tomatoes, and a very spicy green aji sauce; the author admits to invariably sneaking a wing on the drive home." - ByEmma Wartzman
