🇰🇷 Not Sure What to Eat for Korean Food in LA? Just Bookmark This Li
Followed my favorite YouTuber Michelle Choi to explore Ktown spots—and wow, everything was so good I want to go back immediately! 🤍 🥩 Park’s BBQ (Michelin recommended for years) Ordered the beef combo + veggie platter (with pineapple 🍍!). Perfect marbling, grilled to a light char—aroma explosion! 🔥 Staff grills for you—no work, just happiness! Special touch: besides lettuce wraps, they give you “rice paper” (like steamed dumpling wrappers) to wrap the meat—so innovative and delightfully chewy! 📍 955 S Vermont Ave G, Los Angeles 🍲 Han Bat Sul Lung Tang An old-school spot specializing in ox bone soup—simple but incredible flavor. Rich, non-greasy broth pairs perfectly with kimchi. One bowl and your soul feels healed 🥹 📍 4163 W 6th St, Los Angeles – low-key, authentic vibe. ✨ My personal extra picks: 🐔 Buil Sam Gye Tang One of my favorite samgyetang spots in LA ❤️ Only 4–5 types on the menu—I got the abalone version. Fall-off-the-bone tender chicken, rich broth, stuffed with sticky rice, dates, and sweet potato—unbelievably fragrant! Banchan is generous—loved their kimchi and special chicken gizzards. 👍 📍 859 S Western Ave, Los Angeles 🍚 Juntong Samgyetang (right near Buil Sam Gye Tang) Broth has a subtle soju aroma, purple rice is delicious, kimchi is top-tier. 📍 869 S Western Ave, Los Angeles 🥢 Chunju Han-Il Kwan Samgyetang was just okay, but oyster pancake was tasty. Lots of banchan but flavors were average. 🍗 Jun Won Dak (close to Han Bat Sul Lung Tang) So sad I missed dining in 😭 but takeout still blew me away—easily top 2 in my book! Next time for sure eating there. 🔥 ⛰️ Mountain Cafe Appeared in Michelle’s Jun Won Dak video—my favorite was the soy-braised beef appetizer. Samgyetang wasn’t a standout. 💨 Sun Nong Dan Wanted to try the hyped-up spot, but heard portions are massive 👀 saving it for when I have an empty stomach next time! #KoreanFood #SatisfyingCravings #KoreanBBQ #LAKtown #KtownEats #LASamgyetang 🥘✨
