BEST KOREAN BBQ IN KOREATOWN FOR 2 PEOPLE - HIGH QUALITY, SMALLER PORTIONS

[sdiddy]

I want to take my wife to K town for an authentic koreatown experience and try some bbq. we do NOT want an all you can eat joint...we want high quality and smaller portions so we can try a lot. I know a lot of these places the meat comes in very large portions so we wouldnt get to try a lot. Any recommendations? Also if they have a good bibimbop that would be great too. thanks!

Actually, with just 2 people you might actually be best served by going to an AYCE place.

At a place like Park's you'll end up actually spending more per person to get the same variety at an AYCE place.

however, the quality of the cuts served at ayce joints do not compare with places like parks, soowon, chosun, etc.

No doubt. But in order to order both Pork X, bulgogi and whatever else for just 2 people, you'll end up spending a fortune and being left with a king's ransom of marinated Korean pork and beef. It's just a tradeoff, I suppose.

agreed....it is indeed a trade off. last time i went to chosun, it was $90 for two people...without booze. ouch. but wow, the galbi was damn good. haha.

I guess it also depends on how much you can eat. I'm almost ashamed to admit this but the last time my wife and I went, we got the Pork X, bulgogi and galbi. No leftovers, we ate it all along with most of the banchan and several refills of the rice wrapper. Surprisingly we were not uncomfortably full. We both had a long work day and hadn't eaten much. We were also taking our time eating and talking and were there for over two hours. I'd say if you were the type able to eat a 16 oz steak along with some sides and appetizers at a steakhouse, you could probably do two types of meat easily at Park's. A third would definitely fill you up and maybe there might be some leftovers.

the gf and I are content with ordering 1 meat + spicy buckwheat noodles from Park's and escape for less than $40.

We ended up going to soowon and loved it...quality and service was great and it was clean and the banchan was truly delicious! thanks all

Park's BBQ. Take home any leftovers and make bulgogi (or what ever your meat choice happens to be) burgers.

A second big YES to Park's BBQ. The best short ribs you'll ever eat. Great service. One of my favorite restaurants in all of Los Angeles, period.

And to quote J. Gold about Park's BBQ " the marinated galbi — short ribs, L.A.'s own signature cut — is magnificent here, the makings of a meat coma …"
