The 20 Best Korean Restaurants in Los Angeles
"The number of Korean barbecue restaurants throughout the Southland is astounding, from affordably priced all-you-can-eat meat fests to high-end establishments serving prime-grade Angus beef and A5 wagyu. K-Team stands out in a crowded market for its dedication to tradition and passion for pork. The superb follow-up restaurant to the perennially packed Park’s BBQ from Jenee Kim offers a top-notch selection of pork-centric cuts, including thick slabs of collar and slivers of belly that hit the grill frozen just like in Seoul. The beef tongue, which curls and caramelizes on the tallow-slicked grill, is also worthy of gracing every table. Regardless of which kind of meat one favors, tack on the myeonglan paste (pollack roe) that elevates every porky or beefy bite to greater heights and some herbaceous minari that is grilled alongside the meat. It’s these little delicious and authentic details that make K-Team the best new Korean barbecue spot in Los Angeles. — Cathy Chaplin, senior editor" - Matthew Kang
