Shiku

"Galbi Inspired by the packed lunches of Korean school children, the kalbi dosirak is a well-rounded meal perfect for a quick lunch or eating on the go. Braised short ribs are sliced nice and thick, made mouthwateringly juicy, the result of lots and lots of marbling. Depending on whether you inhale it there or not (basically, if there’s travel involved), the presentation might not be 100%. But you won’t even care because the meat is so freaking tender, all but falling off the bone." - the infatuation los angeles crew

"Myulchi Saewoo Bokkeum Bursting with creativity and experimentation, this Grand Central Market stall feels like a real incubator for Korean food. Containers are filled to the brim with a spicy tuna dish that features bright-red fish, potatoes, and carrots, and is packed with umami. And our favorite, the myulchi saewoo bokkeum, is made crunchy with dried shrimp while still having sweet and savory flavors from the shishito peppers and walnuts. It’s a perfect snack for a long car ride home, or staring at your phone for hours, deciding whether or not enough time has passed to text your friend back." - the infatuation los angeles crew

"Shiku in Grand Central Market is a Korean spot from the couple behind Baroo that serves a mix of recognizable comfort dishes, like kimchi pork belly and doenjang-marinated chicken, and creative banchan, like spicy kimchi corn or japchae made with seaweed. The best way to try a little of everything is to order their rice boxes that come with sides of the daily banchan. But don't overlook the Korean fried chicken or crispy mandu—you might need that extra snack at 3pm. " - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins

"Kwang Uh and Mina Park of Baroo fame opened Shiku inside Grand Central Market in 2021, with a menu of quality Korean home cooking at affordable prices. One can never have a bad meal here; just order the fried chicken or deep-fried pyogo mushrooms, or the dorisak of popular proteins like LA galbi, andong soy-braised chicken, or kimchi-braised pork belly." - Eater Staff, Matthew Kang

"Shiku in Grand Central Market is a Korean spot from the couple behind the now-closed Baroo that serves a good mix of recognizable comfort dishes, like kimchi pork belly and doenjang-marinated chicken, and creative banchan, like spicy kimchi corn or japchae made with seaweed. The best way to try a little of everything is to order their dosirak (rice boxes) that come with sides of that day's banchan, but don't overlook the Korean fried chicken or crispy mandu—you might need that extra snack when you get called in for jury duty downtown.
