"Open since 1985, Kobawoo is a Koreatown staple, and home to our favorite plate of bossam in the neighborhood. With big, wooden booths and clean lines everywhere, Kobawoo’s interior is a little upscale, and ideal for a date. That said, if you’re flying solo and don’t want to eat a giant plate of pork belly wraps by yourself, they have a smaller lunch special for around $20. And maybe throw in a plate of their deservedly famous spicy acorn noodles if you're feeling peckish." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
