BBQ

1. Ham Ji Park

Neighborhood: Koreatown

wanted to try good Korean BBQ particularly PORK.  Ham Ji Park was our first choice of course.  He loved it all.... he called it a masterpiece!...

2. Park's BBQ

This was my first venture into the world of Korean BBQ. First off it is really nothing like southern BBQ. No open fire pits slow roasted and then sauced up. Nope Korean BBQ is more like simple...

3. Dong II Jang…

Neighborhood: Koreatown

and if not good, then at least comforting.  We ordered the BBQ: Short ribs and marinated rib eye. The short ribs were perfect. Just the right amount of fat to make it juicy and delicious. The marinated rib eye...

4. Soot Bull Jeep

Neighborhood: Koreatown

3. Kobawoo House

Neighborhood: Koreatown

4. Ma Dang Gook Soo

Neighborhood: Koreatown

of sriracha (aka. rooster sauce - i was recently informed that only Koreans call it rooster sauce.... aka. hot cock).  It seems like there is actually a kimchi kalgooksoo so this may be where my mistake...

5. Yu Chun Restaurant

Neighborhood: Koreatown

are Korean. It's tough.  Ok, so you can try the bulgoggi bibimbob or the kimchi mondu (dumplings), but I think this place only stays in business cause the MNM is so freaking good....
