Hwang Hae Doe — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Let me just start by saying I was touched by the kindness, keenness and warmth of the Korean grandma who works here. Thank you.

Had dinner here after a long day of driving (6 hours) and sightseeing/hiking in April 2022, and I was just expecting a normal Korean meal but I couldn't have been more wrong. We were going to order individual plates but after browsing the menu, realized that the BBQ all-you-can-eat would have been a much better deal and changed our mind. And boy was I glad of the choice.

I was legit about to cry because she made me think of my great grandma who still lives in China and whom I haven't seen in years.

What a great place to eat. It is a Friday night and there was no wait which caused us for to be very apprehensive. But long behold this place is a gem. They have great prices, see the photos, authentic korean food, great owners and they have parking!! I have been eating korean food almost all my life and this place is one of the beats spots I've been tom yes, they do not have the best upscale restaurant and the place from the outside looks far beyond any place that would be worth it. BUT it is worth it!! Try it. Your...
