4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: April 5 | Eater LA
"If there’s a dish that will bring complete silence to a table of half-buzzed Korean barbecue eaters, it’s the doenjang jjageuli at K-TEAM BBQ: a thicker-than-jjigae stew with a deep umami resonance and almost unbearable funk from the cheonggukjang (fermented soybeans) that gives the stew profound complexity, tempered here by spicy chiles and silken tofu — not quite the pure cheonggukjang of a standalone stew from the likes of Olympic Cheonggukjang, but on that road. Before the jjageuli lands, K-TEAM serves thin frozen pork belly that crisps up into a bacon-like satisfaction, with fresh minari cooked on the tabletop grill as an herbaceous contrast; everything about K-TEAM feels plucked out of a busy Gangnam block, with office workers toasting soju and oldies Korean pop music through the speakers." - Eater Staff
