Things I want to eat in LA
Crab House
Restaurant · Koreatown
This is genuinely my new favorite, must visit restaurant when I'm in LA because this soy sauce crab is one of my favorite foods of all time and it's been impossible to find one that's good in the States. They don't take reservations and it's not huge, so on a weekend you might have a wait, but it really is such a great meal I can't endorse it enough. My order is: - Korean soy sauce crab (the American was is blue crab which is fine, but not close to the same thing, I'd say one order for two people) - Bo ssam, the boiled pork belly - Spicy seafood stew (small, just for the broth)

Sun Ha Jang
Korean restaurant · Arlington Heights
An all time favorite restaurant (and I’m not sure how much longer it will be open tbh), there’s only one thing really on the menu: sliced duck that confits in its own fat and about 20 cloves of garlic, only to then be turned into fried rice with perilla seeds. There’s absolutely no vibes and the hours are so random now, but it’s still the best.
