Korean restaurant · Koreatown

"Dasom by Chef Kang comes from the same owner as Seoul Night by Chef Kang, Chef Kang Food Rehab, and Haneuem by Chef Kang (you get the point). The man clearly has his hands full. But this Korean comfort food spot—or, as its Instagram bio describes it, “legit Korean cuisine”—doesn’t feel phoned in. This Ktown restaurant is a solid option for a weeknight dinner (sans loud crowds) in the neighborhood. The menu is intimidatingly long with stir-fries, stews, hot pot options, and more, so stick to the highlighted specials when your head starts to spin. Our favorite is the bossam platter, which comes with thinner-than-usual sliced pork belly, crunchy-fresh kimchi, and warm cabbage leaves that complement the fatty pork. We weren’t as crazy about the funky, spicy marinated oysters that come on the side, mainly because they’re so pungent they overwhelm everything else. But that’s just a minor detail, especially when the portions are quite generous." - Sylvio Martins
