Late-Night Eatery in LA's Ktown π Must-Try Korean Pancake PlatterβΌοΈ
Tucked away in LAβs Koreatown is a cozy Korean pub called Butnal πΆ! The first time I went, I totally missed it because the sign was all in Korean β but one visit was all it took to become a fan π. Their assorted savory pancake platter is a must-order π! My Korean friend said itβs exactly what families make during the holidays β truly tastes like home π‘. Oh, and donβt forget β after your meal, you can grab a free ice cream at the door! π¦ π Assorted Savory Pancake: A giant platter with eight different kinds of pan-fried goodness π₯. Each ingredient is dipped in a light egg batter and fried till golden and crispy π³. Itβs similar to Japanese tempura, but honestly? Even better π. My favorites: the tender fish π, green peppers stuffed with meat π«, shiitake mushrooms with minced meat π, and a combo of spam, crab stick, and green onion β so perfect with beer! πΊ π Sizzling Pork Neck with Kimchi: This is a new menu item π₯. The pork neck is grilled until the edges are slightly crispy β so fragrant on the outside, juicy inside π₯. The fat balances perfectly with the spicy-tangy kimchi πΆοΈ. They also have spicy sizzling chicken feet for those who dare β super hot! π₯΅ π Ramen with Spicy Rice Cakes: A classic Korean street food staple π. Solid and satisfying, loaded with fish cakes π . The ramen soaked in the sweet-spicy sauce is especially yummy π . π Fish Cake Soup: I had two big bowls of thisβ¦ π²β¨ The broth isnβt too salty and has a subtle kick from green chili πΏ. The fish cakes are cooked just right β not too soft. Perfect comfort food for a late night π€. --- Butnal π 954 S Norton Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90019 #LAEats #LAFoodGuide #KoreanFood #LAFood #LAKoreanCuisine #KtownLA #KtownEats #LAKtown #LAKoreanFood #KoreanDining
