The 25 Best Restaurants In Koreatown - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This fluorescent-lit strip mall spot on 6th Street (with a second 24-hour location on Western) is famous for being open until the wee hours of the night, long after the bars have closed. And for good reason: few late-night dining experiences in LA compare. Groups huddle around massive cauldrons of their signature spicy galbijjim: braised short rib, rice cakes, and vegetables simmered in a thick, fire-red sauce. Order it with cheese on top, and they’ll blowtorch it at your table until it’s melted and bubbly. Beyond this incredible onslaught of meat, the soups are also worth your time, especially the next morning. Get the oxtail with brisket soup after a night of karaoke and thank us later." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
