LA Must-Try! The Hidden King of Pork Belly in Ktown 🥓🔥

Can you relate? When pork belly sizzles with that crispy crust and juicy inside—it’s just meant to be devoured, right?! 😆 I didn’t have high hopes for U.S. pork at first, but this aged pork spot tucked away on the second floor of an old Ktown building totally surprised me! 🏢✨ They specialize in aged pork—beautifully marbled with zero gamey taste. Every cut grills up super fragrant. If you love grilled pork belly like I do, this is your place! We ordered Combo D: Pork Belly + Pork Shoulder + Beef Brisket + Kimchi Stew + Cheese. 🧀🥘 It also comes with free sides like kimchi, bean sprout soup, and steamed egg. We added a cold noodle salad too. The staff grilled everything for us—so attentive! The pork was the star—pork lovers should go for the all-pork Combo C. Thick-Cut Pork Belly 🥇 – Absolutely unbeatable. That Maillard reaction is everything! Juicy, well-balanced fat, grilled till golden and crisp. Dip it in salt or Korean soy sauce, add some chilled scallion salad, and take that first bite—pure satisfaction. 😋 Pork Shoulder – Leaner than belly but still tender and juicy! Charred outside, chewy-soft inside. Grilled Cheese – Salty, creamy, mild milky flavor… who wouldn’t love that? 🧀 Beef Brisket – This cut can easily get dry, but here it stayed moist. Not as wow as the pork, but still tasty with a sweet kick from Korean soy sauce. The sides are simple but delicious—comforting and wholesome. The steamed egg was fluffy and melted in my mouth 🥚, the kimchi tofu pork stew was tangy and spicy 🌶️, and the cold noodle salad was refreshing and balanced out the rich meats perfectly. 🍜 After tax and tip, it came to around $50 per person. 📍 SOOKDAL 356 S Western Ave #201, Los Angeles, CA 90020 Have you been to SOOKDAL?
