The 17 Best Hidden Gem Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"This little find tucked along James M. Wood off the main drag in Koreatown serves some of the best old-school Korean barbecue in Los Angeles. Well-seasoned grill plates let the meat sizzle right on the table, with marinated bulgogi and short rib starring on the menu. Every table makes certain to order a few bowls of the ice-cold dongchimi guksu, a plain white noodle sitting in a tangy pickle broth that contrasts every piping hot bite of grilled meat. Expect a quiet, mostly empty dining room outside of the busiest weekend hours, making this a great no-reservations-required pick." - Eater Staff
