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

"One of the only barbecue spots in Koreatown that still cooks with charcoal, Soot Bull Jip specializes in marinated baby back ribs that are sweet, tender, and not too fatty. The old-school grills give the meat a distinct smokiness—as oils and fats drip onto the fire, they sizzle back up into your food, adding another layer of flavor. The spicy pork and beef short ribs are also great, and the banchan spread (especially the bean sprouts) goes well with all the charred meat. Soot Bull Jip is one of the more laid-back KBBQ restaurants in town, packed with families and neighborhood regulars. Just know that you’re going to walk out smelling like a campfire. Consider this a souvenir." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
