The 23 LA Restaurants To Try Before You Graduate - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"San Francisco has Chinatown, Miami has Little Havana, and NYC has the entirety of Queens, but we have Koreatown. And at three square miles, it’s one of the largest ethnic enclaves in the country and an integral part in our city’s food (and karaoke) culture. And that means three letters - BBQ. While you could go to a different Korean BBQ spot once a day for three months and not hit them all, our go-to is Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong. Nowhere do you get higher quality meats, better service, and the rowdy (re: drunk) environment that one seeks at a Korean BBQ spot better than here. Warning: With no reservations, this might be one of the hardest tables to snag in town. So put your name in early and go get Soju-hammered at Gaam next door." - brant cox, katherine lewin
