The 25 Best Korean Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Kobawoo House has been around since 1983, and while Koreatown has changed a lot, this place hasn’t. It’s still a tranquil, wood-filled restaurant that serves amazing jeon, steaming bowls of yuk gae jang, and the best bossam in the neighborhood. Each slice of Kobawoo’s boiled pork belly is half jiggly-soft pork fat, half juicy meat that breaks apart in one chomp. For such a rich cut of pig, it’s incredibly light, especially when you build ssam with salted cabbage, a dab of fermented shrimp paste, and sweet pickled radishes. Portions are huge, so come for the smaller lunch special if you’re dining solo." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder, cathy park
