Best restaurant in Koreatown area?

I wanna eat some good hearty korean food.

    My overall fave in K-town is Sa Rit Gol. It justs tastes like good home cooking to me. They do a great black cod and daikon in spicy soy sauce. I love their mung bean pancakes, too. Plus, they always serve a generous selection of very good panchan.

      their black cod is pretty good. the kbbq was pretty forgettable, and the rules were just asinine

            My searching fails me now, but I read about it on CH before going there. I thought I knew what was up, but I guess not.

            Their mastery of the english language is severely lacking compared to their mastery of food. The jist of it is, it's impossible to order a la carte kbbq. Order a combination or prepare to be perplexed.

        Koreatown is huge and has a wide array of Korean food available. Do you want BBQ? Do you want noodles? Do you want a sojubang?

        My personal favorite style of Korean food is soondubu, to which I head to Sokongdong, but I think a lot of people prefer Beverly Soon Tofu across the street.

        There was a recent discussion of the high quality meat and banchan at Park's BBQ. Unless you want charcoal, to which I always head to Soot Bull Jeep.

        Kyochon is quite a popular fried chicken stop. I don't think the food at Dan Sung Sah is all that but the experience is worth it.

        (And arguably the best overall restaurant in Koreatown is probably Guelaguetza, but it's a Oaxacan place.)
