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

"As much as we love nights out in Ktown, the best part about Korean drinking culture is the bar food—and Jilli serves the kind of crispy, saucy (and interesting) dishes we want while tossing back soju. This narrow sool jib in Koreatown blurs genres with creations like tteok twigim coated in gochujang and parmesan cheese and a rigatoni all kimchi vodka laced with guanciale bits. You can easily piece together a full meal at Jilli, but if you’re just stopping by for a glass of natural wine, order Chimmelier’s KFC. They double-fry their chicken so it’s moist and juicy inside and crispy-crackly outside." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder, cathy park
