Koreatown’s Jun Won Restaurant Is Closing This Week Due to the Pandemic - Eater LA

"The strain of the COVID-19 pandemic is starting to take its toll on Koreatown, which will lose one of its most cherished Korean restaurants, Jun Won, at the end of this week. The homestyle restaurant founded by Jung Ye Jun and operated along with her son Jeff Jun, Jun Won had only recently reopened in a new location along Western Avenue in 2016. Previously Jun Won had occupied a space along 8th Street for over twenty years, making it one of the most successful and longest running traditional Korean restaurants. Jun Won also had a banchan store on 8th Street that closed a few years ago despite producing some of the city’s best Korean prepared dishes." - Matthew Kang
