"Koreatown’s endless dumplings, big bowls of noodles, and sizzling stone platters of short rib are great and all, but the tight-knit neighborhood really excels in the arena of meat over flame. There are countless Korean barbecue joints across the Wilshire corridor, while down on Olympic it’s all about the cumin-drenched lamb skewers at stalwart Feng Mao. Each individually-crafted skewer gets laid over a charcoal grill with two different zones for cooking and keeping warm, while pillowy wisps of smoke imbue the whole meal with a primal sense of fire. Order the lamb skewers in batches along with a few drinks. For maximum effectiveness, don’t plan on going to any important meetings afterwards because the post-meal meat coma is very, very real." - Eater Staff
