There's been so many countless times when I've passed by this spot while driving on Wilshire, and the name and the star decorations on the building never fail to catch my eye. It tends to get super busy on the weekends so I was happy that I was able to find some availability in my schedule and finally try this spot out.
If you're looking for a spot with good vibes to catch up and hang out with friends and family, then Star Night is up your alley. They have one of the best outdoor ambience in KTOWN, Los Angeles, and it's even prettier at night with all the colorful lights. They serve tasty Korean pub food and they also have karaoke rooms for you to channel your inner Beyonce. Need some alcohol to unleash that inner Beyonce? Not a problem ,because they have a full alcohol license so they got hard liquor, cocktails, soju, beer and more! I thought that was pretty cool because usually Korean pubs/bars only serve soju, soju cocktails and/or beer.

-Cross Streets are Wilshire Blvd & S Manhattan Pl.
-Valet Parking (limited spots) or Street Parking
-Try to get there as soon as they open or when the valet parking lot is still relatively empty so you can snag a parking spot. I would recommend parking on the right side (reference: facing the restaurant's entrance) so you don't need to wait for other cars to pull out to get out of the lot.

Pork BBQ Platter - Highly recommend if you're planning to share food with friends/family. It's a decent portion and it comes with pork belly, sausage, corn cheese, steamed egg and kimchi. The juicy pork belly was definitely the star of this platter because these were gone as soon as they were cooked and ready to eaten.
Fish Cake Soup - Broth was so yummy especially after screaming our hearts out at the karaoke rooms. I liked how the broth wasn't overly salty. There was quite a good amount of fish cakes too!
Pan Fried Octopus - Our server recommended my group to add some noodles on the side and I'm so glad we went with that suggestion because the octopus and sauce was so flavorful, the noodles helped soak up the flavor. I also liked that you could actually see and taste the octopus. I feel like most places that serve octopus dishes are stingy but that isn't the case here.
Corn Cheese - I didn't realize the pork bbq platter already came with corn cheese but since I love corn cheese, I didn't mind ordering a separate plate just for it. It was quite cheesy and I honestly was fine with that!
Star Night Special - such a pretty drink with all the layers! Quite tasty and addicting
Vegas Pool Party - alcohol slushy time! I liked how they incorporated sour patch kids but do note that if your candy is in the drink for a long time, the candy will harden and it may be difficult to get to the candy!
