The Hottest & Prettiest Dining Spot in K-town, LA โ Danbi ๐
I canโt believe I only tried this place now โ what was I waiting for?! Personally, I really enjoyed the food here, but it might be because I have a sweet tooth ๐ฏโจ (most dishes lean sweet). My friend prefers savory flavors and thought it was just okay. ๐ต Luv U So Matcha An intensely rich matcha-infused cocktail โ even the foam is packed with matcha flavor (after the first sip, I was wondering if Iโd sleep tonight ๐). Balanced with citrus and passion fruit notes. Great flavor, but the alcohol is strong โ I split it into two glasses and added water, and it was just right for me. ๐ฏ Honey Butter Chips My favorite dish of the night! The chips arenโt as crispy as Layโs, but you can tell theyโre freshly fried. The honey butter sauce is thick and coats every chip โ so satisfying, I couldnโt stop eating! Finished the plate in no time. ๐ฅฉ Tartare Raw beef paired with bone marrow โ a unique combo! Served with fried lotus root chips instead of toasted bread. Personally, I prefer bread โ the lotus chips are too thin to hold the meat well. ๐ Uni Bibimbap Probably their most popular and prettiest dish! Sea urchin and sweet shrimp bibimbap. I loved the sweet flavor, but my friend thought it was too sweet and got cloying. ๐ซ Scallop Pancake My least favorite โ nothing special here. The pancake was thick, topped with small scallops, and became greasy as it cooled. ๐ฅฉ Zabuton Charcoal-grilled American Wagyu shoulder โ very tender and a generous portion. Too much for two people to finish! Plus, each order comes with garlic-oil rice and kimchi โ the rice was fragrant and paired perfectly with the sweet grilled beef. So satisfying! ๐ฝ Oksusu Latte Visually creative and presentation gets full marks, but flavor was just okay (6/10). Top layer: foamy sea salt cream. Middle: corn tea jelly. Bottom: coffee granita. The server emphasized scooping all layers at once for the full experience โ eating it layer by layer felt a bit underwhelming. ๐ง Honey Yuzu Tea Granita Honey yuzu tea-flavored shaved ice โ refreshing and tasty! #Foodie #LALife #LAEats #LosAngelesFood #KtownLA #PrettyFood #MatchaLover #WagyuTime
