The 25 Best Restaurants In Koreatown
"A face-sized fried cutlet can fix most everyday problems. Well, it won’t get you out of jury duty, but Lasung House’s excellent donkatsu will undoubtedly cheer you up in the moment. This casual, diner-like spot in Koreatown by the Quarters BBQ folks mercilessly pounds its pork steaks and dredges them with panko so a jagged and crackly crust forms in the fryer. One cutlet is filling enough to leave you slumped in our seats (Lasung House has a one-cutlet-per-person rule) so come hungry. Or better yet, come with a group for a cutlet rotation—spicy cutlets, cheese-topped cutlets, and fish cutlets with sweeter-than-usual tartar sauce. They also do a few fusion-y pastas, like bolognese and seafood cream, but the spicy chilled jjolmyeon is the best option after all that breaded meat." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
