The 15 Best Korean Barbecue Restaurants In Los Angeles

"After years of packed nights at their Buena Park location, King Chang opened a second KBBQ restaurant in the middle of Koreatown. This place specializes in gopchang—you'll see golden-brown offal served over bowls of udon or sizzling next to chopped veggies on a steel grill. If you're looking to streamline your order with a combo, the beef set comes with plenty of banchan, gyeranjjim, and three rounds of slightly sweet bulgogi, juicy boneless kalbi, and our favorite of the bunch, the god-tier marinated short ribs. You'll likely have to wait 30-ish minutes for a table on weekends, but that still makes this a great backup option when you don't brave the longer lines at Ahgassi Gopchang next door.
