The 25 Best Korean Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"The picture-filled menu at this famous bibimbap chain from South Korea is essentially a Pinterest board of aesthetic rice pots. Do you want yours decorated with spicy pork and carmelized eggplant, shishitos and tofu, or a big grilled mackerel filet that juts out from the bowl? There’s no wrong answer, and the only mistake would be not adding an order of Damsot’s crackly shrimp-stuffed fried eggplant to start. Each piping-hot rice pot costs around $20 and arrives on a tray with salad, soup, banchan, and a kettle of barley tea, plus a step-by-step process on how to eat it. The finale is the best part: pouring tea over the layer of crunchy scorched rice at the bottom to create a toasty soup that’s as soothing as a long, steamy shower." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder, cathy park
