Best Restaurants for Korean Food and Barbecue in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"Established in 2005, Friend’s House is one of the longstanding Korean establishments in the Convoy District. As one of the early Korean restaurants that’s still around, the family-owned business has helped relatives strike out on their own, establishing other Asian restaurants in the area. The restaurant’s interior resembles a Korean village, which offers an intentional old-school. Friend’s House is an ideal setting for homestyle dishes like spicy crab soup and fermented bean paste stew. The restaurant also serves soondubu, seafood pancakes, grilled mackerel, and steamed dumplings. Pair the dishes with soju, sake, beer, or makgeolli, Korean rice wine served in ceramic bowls." - Helen I. Hwang
