The Most Classic Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Kobawoo House has been around since before Koreatown was the land of limited street parking and soju bars blasting pop music. This traditional Korean restaurant is an oasis of calm in a strip mall off busy Vermont Avenue where you can sit peacefully in a booth while a water fountain trickles in the background. Kobawoo serves excellent jeon and chewy acorn noodles, but the specialty here is undoubtedly bossam. The portions are huge, the service is warm, and you'll leave with a renewed appreciation for the power of pork belly with kimchi." - brant cox, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
