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

"Soban is a triple threat on par with Cher or Hugh Jackman. Not only does this minimalist Koreatown restaurant have the most impressive banchan spread in town (over a dozen seasonal dishes by our count), their specialties like soy-marinated crab, spicy braised black cod, and short rib stew all are up there with the best renditions in the city. Keep in mind that Soban doesn’t serve alcohol, but they do give you a delicious fermented sweet rice drink to finish the meal. Also, this is where the cast and crew of Parasite celebrated their Oscar win." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder, cathy park
