The First Timer’s Guide To Eating In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"There’s a whole universe of great food in LA’s Koreatown, but if it’s your first time, most everyone will tell you to eat Korean barbecue. We couldn’t agree more. Start by heading to the OG: Soot Bull Jeep. One of the only KBBQ restaurants that still cooks over charcoal, this old-school spot is famous for its tender marinated pork ribs, plus thick cuts of ribeye and short rib. The grills give the meat a charred flavor, which goes great with the simple banchan spread. It’s also one of the more laid-back KBBQ places in town, so expect a dining room packed with families and regulars—all of whom have made peace with their clothes smelling like a campfire afterward.
