"One of LA’s longest-running Korean restaurants is Kobawoo, located in the same Vermont Avenue strip mall since 1983. Sporting a dim, often quiet dining room that lights up for weekday lunches, most people come for the incredible bossam, a Korean steamed pork preparation that remains unparalleled at Kobawoo. Served with traditional accompaniments of cold blanched napa cabbage, fermented baby shrimp, julienned spicy radish, and pickled rounds of paper-thin radish, the bossam here makes for a wonderful shareable feast. Other traditional dishes are stellar too, such as the spicy braised black cod, golden brown seafood pancake, and stone pot bibimbap." - Matthew Kang, Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
