"Han Yang in Buena Park is a standby close to my parents’ place with truly delicious Korean food; they’re best known for galbi-tang (which I don’t enjoy), but I had the hwang taeguk (dried pollack soup) — a childhood go-to that tastes like safety and is surprisingly excellent for hangovers — and a dolsot bibimbap with kkaennip (perilla), whose particular flavor I love and whose presence felt like a lovely, nostalgic touch because my mother used to grow kkaennip in the backyard." - Chris Crowley
