LA County: Korean BBQ, Quality Over Quantity


Going for Korean BBQ is more than a meal, it's an experience. First, you choose your beef, chicken or fish. Then, your cut of preference. Next, you cook it on a tiny teppan-like grill that's situated in the middle of the table. You add the finishing touches by dressing it with several of the dozen or so pickled vegetables and sauces that come with your meal. Finally, you dive in.


You can go through these steps at most Korean BBQ restaurants in Koreatown, but don't be fooled by signs offering all-you-can-eat specials for as low as $10.00. They tend to serve the fattiest and cheapest cuts. How else could they afford to serve up unlimited plates of steak?


If you want the real deal, you gotta go to Soot Bull Jeep. This popular Ktown joint is the master of sizzling, juicy strips of meat that will leave your mouthwatering and your clothes smelling for days. 


There's so much smoke in this tiny restaurant, you'll feel like you're at a campfire. 


Their beef is as tender as the meat you'd pick up at a steakhouse. They also offer hard to find Korean favorites like marinated squid, beef tongue, and eel. 


Between the rice, soup, vegetables, and kimchi that come with your order, you certainly won't leave hungry.
