BBQ

1. Ham Ji Park

Neighborhood: Koreatown

typical ktown bbq joint with 1 exception. they specialize in dae ji kalbi (marinated pork ribs). i seriously do feel bad for people who've never tried korean bbq and especially dae ji kalbi. oh well...

2. Park's BBQ

3. Tofu Village

Neighborhood: Koreatown

for their BBQ. I'll have to try it next time around......

4. Dong II Jang…

4. Ma Dang Gook Soo

Neighborhood: Koreatown

are chewy and have a great nutty flavor that peeks through the sauce. I love the sweetness of the strips of flash-pickled daikon that plays against the sour-spicy kimchi, which is chopped finely...

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....
