"The moment you walk into Sun Ha Jang, you’ll be confronted with countless photos of ducks. It’s not because they’re really into Aflac—duck is pretty much the only thing they serve here. Our favorite is the sliced breast, brought to your table and then cooked to order and dished out by an extremely serious server. You eat it with some radish, onion, and lettuce, and once it’s all gone—and you’re already full—they’ll bring over a huge plate of rice, which they cook with kimchi in the rendered duck fat. A meal here means going home extremely full on duck, which is one of the best kinds of full." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"Sun Ha Jang only has two dishes on their takeout menu (a roast duck plate and duck fried rice) and both of them need to be ordered. The duck is pan roasted and comes with purple rice, pickled vegetables, kimchi, and house salad. The fried rice is cooked in the actual duck fat and is one of our favorite versions in town. Both are $16. Call (323) 634-9292 for takeout." - brant cox, kat hong
"This is a Korean BBQ place, but wait, before you complain about us violating the stringent rules of these recs, trust us, it’s different! Here you grill slices of duck at your table. We don’t actually love the grilled duck here on its own, but the outrageous second act is dazzling. At the end of your meal, the servers come over and prepare kimchi fried rice with your meal’s leftover duck meat and rendered duck fat. It’s decadent as hell, but unbelievably good. No cows or pigs or goats were harmed in the making of this killer fried rice." - eric lane
"An originator of grilled duck barbecue in Los Angeles, this now-classic restaurant on the western edge of Koreatown still has some of the most delicious and remarkable Korean barbecue that doesn’t feature beef, pork, or chicken. Everything about the meal, from the banchan to the finishing fried rice on the tabletop grill, is engineered for maximum flavor." - Cathy Park
"Popular Korean duck barbecue spot Sun Ha Jang has opened up a front outdoor patio for one of LA’s most unique tabletop grill styles. After a parade of fatty, delicious duck seared on a skillet, diners get flavor-packed fried rice to end the meal." - Matthew Kang
