The 24 Best Korean Restaurants In Los Angeles

"When the temperature in LA tops 90 degrees for three months straight, head to Yu Chun. The bare-bones diner on Olympic is known for its chilled naengmyeon with arrowroot noodles and a near-frozen beef broth that’ll refresh you like nothing else. If you end up with a brain freeze (quite possible), there’s self-serve dispensers of the same broth but hot near the kitchen. Add some kimchi dumplings and grilled kalbi to make a mini feast, and don’t neglect the nose-clearing hot mustard and vinegar on every table." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren, garrett snyder
