Hey! It's awesome that you'll be trying out Korean restaurants across LA because the network is HUGE. Anywho, here's a few places to try out: 1. Seoul Garden - The best shabu shabu in town! You can also try their version of roast beef (ros gui). At the end of the meal, servers will then use the remnants of broth or meat, add rice, sesame seed oil, vegetables, etc. to make you either rice porridge (from the shabu shabu) or fried rice (from the ros gui). 1833 W Olympic Blvd 2. Shik Do Rak - It was a sort of trend to serve grilled beef and scallions with a flat sheet of rice cake called dukk po ssam. It's really, really delicious. If that's not your kind of thing, then there's always lettuce leaves. 2501 W Olympic Blvd 3. Chosun Galbi - If you want to go to a more upscale Korean restaurant, maybe this is the place to try. Their cha dul bae gi is especially tasted when topped with marinated scallions and wrapped in lettuce. 3330 W. Olympic Blvd. 4. Woo Lae Oak - This is definitely the trendy upscale Korean restaurant. Though it's on the expensive side, it's very good. The galbi jjim was my fave. 170 N La Cienega Blvd There's a lot of restaurants on particular streets like Western, Olympic, Normandie, 3rd Street, etc. Typically, these are the Koreatown area streets, so if you drive around there, you'll find restaurants.
