Super Popular Damsot Hot Stone Rice, But Slightly Disappointed🍚😕

The first time I tried to go, the line was way too long—over an hour wait. The second time, it was closed for renovations. 🚧 Finally got to try it, but it felt a bit underwhelming. Maybe it’s because it was my first time trying hot stone rice, and the hype was just too big. The rice itself was decent, and the wasabi helped cut through the richness. The beef cubes were tender, and it came with a side of miso soup. But the barley tea and rice crust at the end tasted like dishwater—I couldn’t take a single bite. It felt like I was rinsing the stainless steel bowl. 🍵😬 My friend’s sukiyaki tasted better—richer, sweeter, and with more ingredients. These two dishes plus tip came to $72. It’s worth a try, but I wasn’t blown away. 💸 🅿️ Street parking is tough during peak hours. There’s valet parking nearby for $5. 📍 Damsot #LosAngeles #Foodie #LAEats #RestaurantReview #LAKoreanFood #Ktown #FoodExploration
