Pigya

The 16 Best Korean Barbecue Restaurants In Los Angeles, Ranked - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"As you've probably guessed, Pigya in Koreatown is big on pork. It's also big on feeding you to the point where you'll contemplate asking a friend for a piggyback ride after dinner. Meals here involve fatty pork cheek and brick-sized pork belly slabs that caramelize on the grill. Go with the $98 pork gyu combo, which feeds four and comes with the aforementioned cuts, plus beef short rib and a yuzu-drenched wagyu carpaccio. The staff handles the grilling, so you can chill, drink beer, and take in the room of loud friend groups and secondhand bacon smoke. And just when you think you've hit your wall, perfect kimchi fried rice and a pot of spicy hangover ramen will enter the chat." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
