"If you’re looking for a good jumping off point before a night out in Koreatown, it doesn’t get much better than EMC. This modern raw bar and restaurant on the ground floor of a mall has a big menu of seafood-leaning dishes (the uni pasta is a must) and a crowd that won’t judge if you end up getting drunker than you had originally planned. The Deal: $1.50 oysters, $6 beer, wine, well drinks, and sake. $4-6 bar snacks. When: Sunday-Thursday 10pm-close, Friday-Saturday 11pm-close." - Brant Cox
