How the Next Generation of Restaurant Owners Will Preserve Koreatown | Eater LA

"Watching Jeff Jun and his septuagenarian mother, Jung Ye Jun, work a tiny one-table restaurant along Third Street, I was struck by how much history and resilience this spot carries: it’s their third location after earlier runs on Eighth Street and Western Avenue, and after pandemic closures they reopened in a takeout-first space with just a single four-top and a VIP table. They now focus on four homestyle dishes—eundaegu jorim, galbi-jjim, daktoritang, and their signature samgyetang, an herbaceous, almost medicinal chicken soup—with Jung Ye still doing much of the cooking while Jeff manages everything else and appreciates the low overhead." - Matthew Kang
