"If hankering for Korean barbecue, try Song Hak Korean Barbecue, a homestyle joint that specializes in different types of marinated beef intestines. Gopchang, daechang, makchang, and prime pork belly are favorites, cooked on the tabletop grill. The high-quality meats are half-cooked in the kitchen, then brought out to the table where customers can finish barbecuing on the table grill. Song Hak branched out from Los Angeles, but the San Diego location has other favorite Korean noodle dishes, like Jjajangmyeon. Other comfort food dishes worth trying are the dolsot bibimbap, LA galbi, and samgyetang, a comforting chicken soup with Korean ginseng, garlic, and astragalus." - Helen I. Hwang
