Late-Night Eatery in LA's Ktown ๐ Must-Try Korean Pancake Platterโผ๏ธ
Tucked away in LAโs Koreatown is a cozy Korean pub called Butnal ๐ถ! The first time I went, I totally missed it because the sign was all in Korean โ but one visit was all it took to become a fan ๐. Their assorted savory pancake platter is a must-order ๐! My Korean friend said itโs exactly what families make during the holidays โ truly tastes like home ๐ก. Oh, and donโt forget โ after your meal, you can grab a free ice cream at the door! ๐ฆ ๐ Assorted Savory Pancake: A giant platter with eight different kinds of pan-fried goodness ๐ฅ. Each ingredient is dipped in a light egg batter and fried till golden and crispy ๐ณ. Itโs similar to Japanese tempura, but honestly? Even better ๐. My favorites: the tender fish ๐, green peppers stuffed with meat ๐ซ, shiitake mushrooms with minced meat ๐, and a combo of spam, crab stick, and green onion โ so perfect with beer! ๐บ ๐ Sizzling Pork Neck with Kimchi: This is a new menu item ๐ฅ. The pork neck is grilled until the edges are slightly crispy โ so fragrant on the outside, juicy inside ๐ฅ. The fat balances perfectly with the spicy-tangy kimchi ๐ถ๏ธ. They also have spicy sizzling chicken feet for those who dare โ super hot! ๐ฅต ๐ Ramen with Spicy Rice Cakes: A classic Korean street food staple ๐. Solid and satisfying, loaded with fish cakes ๐ . The ramen soaked in the sweet-spicy sauce is especially yummy ๐ . ๐ Fish Cake Soup: I had two big bowls of thisโฆ ๐ฒโจ The broth isnโt too salty and has a subtle kick from green chili ๐ฟ. The fish cakes are cooked just right โ not too soft. Perfect comfort food for a late night ๐ค. --- Butnal ๐ 954 S Norton Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90019 #LAEats #LAFoodGuide #KoreanFood #LAFood #LAKoreanCuisine #KtownLA #KtownEats #LAKtown #LAKoreanFood #KoreanDining
