Park's BBQ

Where To Eat Steak When You Don’t Like Steakhouses - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"LA has more good Korean BBQ restaurants than it knows what to do with, but it’s hard to top the quality of meat at Park’s. Your order is the P-1 Combo, which for $99 total gets you unlimited banchan (tiny side dishes), boneless short rib, ribeye steak, and their signature bulgogi. It easily feeds four people." - brant cox

"Lauded as one of the city's most cherished destinations for Korean barbecue, Park's has been luring patrons for well over an age. This is evidenced by the photo wall of famous chefs, actors and politicians right by the front door. The interior is simple, as efficient, friendly servers do most of the work managing the grills and flipping and slicing meat. From bulgogi to galbi, the meat is prime quality and often lightly marinated. Pricier American Wagyu will appeal to bigger spenders, and the acclaimed garlic-soy-brown sugar marinade is ace with short ribs. Crisp kimchi pancakes served hot on cast-iron skillets as well as cold noodles are proper foils for the protein. Lunch specials are particularly popular and offer both good value and variety." - Michelin Inspector

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

"Plain and simple, Park's is the gold standard of Korean barbecue in Los Angeles. Sure, they might not have the party-like atmosphere of other nearby spots, and you’re going to spend some money here, but when it comes to the quality of meat, Park's can’t be topped. The large menu can be overwhelming, but concentrate on the combo platters (listed as P1-P3) and watch as a glorious parade of meats like bulgogi, short rib, ribeye, and all the necessary banchan starts arriving at your table. Reservations are mandatory, especially on weekends." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
