Sandwiches, Korean-inspired dishes & coffee with NY bodega vibes
"On Silverlake Boulevard I find an Eastside LA–ified New York bodega at Bodega Park where South Korean influence animates a pork bulgogi sandwich (kicked by spicy kurobuta collar and razor-thin raw onion), a melty bacon-egg-and-cheese on a perfectly toasted roll, and classic Italian subs that deliver East Coast nostalgia; their chopped cheese is a cult favorite and I finish with a signature Misugaru Black Sesame latte." - Kayleigh Ruller
"Bodega Park might not be a real bodega, but their breakfast sandwich is a pretty spot-on dupe for one you’d find at a corner deli. The BEC nails all the textures: a hot fried egg with a layer of golden film, lots of gooey cheddar that oozes, and a crackly roll that’s blistered like a fancy pizza crust. It’s also stuffed with so many crisped-up bacon strips wedged inside they’ll start to slide around if you’re not holding it tight." - garrett snyder, arden shore, brant cox, cathy park
"Chef Eric Park’s bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is the standout at this busy Silver Lake shop. This is not a full-on New York remake, Bodega Park’s chopped cheese is a pure SoCal version on a pressed hero roll with chopped beef, American cheese, grilled onions and jalapeños, shredded lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayo. Both are equally delicious and served all day." - Mona Holmes
"Chef Eric Park’s sandwiches pull influences from New York City, Korea, and Southern California in the best way. His chopped cheese is a love letter to the NYC classic with slight LA elements, piling chopped beef patty, American cheese, grilled onions, roasted jalapeños, shredded lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayo on a pressed hero roll. Former New Yorkers, beware: This sandwich might come with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia, but with a twist. Bodega Park’s coffee is on point, especially the misugaru black sesame that’s shaken with oat milk and two shots of espresso." - Mona Holmes
"In early 2022, chef Eric Park and his wife Miriam opened a minimalist cafe that pays homage to New York City bodegas while deftly weaving Korean and SoCal influences into its casual menu. Kim’s sandwiches are the stars, from a spicy house-made pork bulgogi roll to a classic chopped cheese and a Big Apple-style bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted roll. The coffee, sourced from Korean American roaster House Roots, is drawing raves, too." - Rebecca Roland
