"By most measures, Parks BBQ is the gold standard of Korean BBQ in Los Angeles. Sure, it might not have the boisterous atmosphere of other popular spots, and you’re definitely going to spend some money here, but when it comes to the quality of meat, Parks can’t be topped. The large menu can be simplified by ordering one of the combo platters (P1-P3), which will commence a food parade of meats like bulgogi, short rib, and rib-eye, along with all the necessary banchan. Reservations are mandatory, especially on weekends." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
