Korean restaurant · East Hollywood

"Not all KBBQ experiences involve grills filled with pork and beef. Enter Jae Bu Do: This legendary spot specializes in grilled seafood dishes that are harder to find on restaurant menus around town, like foil-wrapped croakers and abalone that is still dancing as it sizzles on the grill grates. The seafood at Jae Bu Do tastes notably well-sourced—clams are so fresh they spew out a little ocean water when you bite in. There’s a specific rush that comes with eating hot fish straight off the grill, especially when it's being grilled by the experts and you get to watch. Just be careful not to burn yourself on any hot shells." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
