"Jeff Jun and his mother, Jung Ye Jun, have managed to morph their beloved restaurant, Jun Won, into a mostly take-out spot in Koreatown serving just their most popular dishes. Named “dak” for chicken, the tiny eatery serves spicy braised daktoritang in a massive serving big enough for the family to share. The other chicken specialty here, samgyetang, is a comforting soup of ginseng chicken, fragrant with garlic, jujubes, and ginseng that will knock out a cold, flu, or even a hangover with ease. Jun Won’s excellent braised black cod (eundaegu jorim) and galbi jjim are also phenomenal, flavored like a proper Korean mother’s meal, and portioned enough to share. Order in advance by calling Jun Won Dak. — Matthew Kang" - Rebecca Roland
