647953 Thu Aug 27 10:35:15 -0700 2009 15 2 Los Angeles Area 0 4982942 Give me a second (or third) thing to order from a place that is basically known for just one thing…I’m still gonna order the specialty of the restaurant but sometimes I need a second thing on the table (or in the take out bag)… No need to limit it to the following places, but just for example, what else can you recommend from the following places in addition to: pastrami from langers, chicken with fries from dino’s, mulitas from la taquiza, pork neck soup and slightly spicy ribs from hamji park, the chicken items from ob bear, hwe dup bap and al bap from A Won, bibimbap from jeon ju, tofu soups from Beverly soon tofu, chacarero sandwich and humitas at tienda Rincon chileno, etc. Thu Aug 27 10:35:15 -0700 2009 197459 nlk 1 4983548 Beverly soon Tofu: Get some galbi or bulgogi (or get the combo) Thu Aug 27 13:27:57 -0700 2009 4982942 137622 burumun 2 4983813 Get the BBQ squid if you can stomach that sort of thing. It's cooked well. Not tough, and plenty of smokey bbq flavor.

Thu Aug 27 13:40:04 -0700 2009 4982942 108169 Servorg 2 4983769 I second the rec or Dino's pastrami dip sandwich. It's as good as I've had for that style of pastrami but not to be compared to a deli style sandwich. Thu Aug 27 14:33:53 -0700 2009 4983592 19094 Sam D. 3 4985529 thanks sam d. and servorg. I'll try it, alongside the chicken, of course.

Is their burger really that good? Fri Aug 28 12:55:54 -0700 2009 4983879 74451 vinosnob 3 4986882 Try it sometime. You know what makes it special? The patty is grilled up on the same surface that they make the carne asada, machaca, etc. and all those juicy and tasty bits of meat and grease gets imported into hamburger patty ... makes for one tasty burger. Fri Aug 28 14:46:58 -0700 2009 4986549 11583 ipsedixit 4 4986898 That DOES sound good! I thought about going today, but between the acid smoke and 100+ temps, I decided to stay indoors for lunch. Fri Aug 28 14:52:06 -0700 2009 4986882 74451 vinosnob 1 4995621 these are great suggestions. Does anyone have thoughts on Jeon Ju or A Won? Tue Sep 01 08:27:42 -0700 2009 4982942 197459 nlk 2 4995838 Some would say the "second" option at A-Won *is* the Ahl Bap, which you've labeled as your "go-to" dish already. (A-Won is generally known for its Hwe Dup Bap, which I find generally very overrated). That said, if you want a "second" second option at A-Won, I would opt for cod casserole or the Eun Dae Gu Jorim. And speaking of Eun Dae Gu Jorim, that's also the "second" dish that I would get at Jeon Ju -- although personally I rarely have a reason to go to Jeon Ju because if I want Bibimbap there are so many other better options in Ktown.

Second, do tell about the 2 or more other bibimbaps that you prefer Tue Sep 01 10:53:18 -0700 2009 4995838 197459 nlk 4 4997217 Go to Mapo (corner of 6th and Normandie) for bibimbap.
