"Many KBBQ spots can feel pretty chaotic, with plates of kalbi flying out the door, pitchers of beer overflowing on every table, and a strict put-your-name-down-then-wait-to-be-seated system. It’s why we love Koreatown. But when you’ve got your parents and sister in tow, plus her newborn baby (who truly hasn’t learned any manners yet), you’re going to want something a little more low-key. Head to Chosun Galbee. Reservations are easy to make online, their outdoor patio feels serene and quiet, and you can let the sounds of bulgogi sizzling on the grill take you away as your mom launches into another rant about LA traffic." - kat hong
