We all know how good Korean fusion Tacos can be, so the idea of Korean fusion burger sounds very promising. As soon as I saw the signage of “Kalbi burger coming soon” I knew I have to check this place out. Kalbi Burger finally opened, it’s located at the edge of Koreatown and Hancock park, [...]

I first heard of the deli/catering/cafe/marketplace Larchmont Larder when we had their catering at work. We had sandwiches and salad and they were wonderful. I couldn’t believe such delicacies were on Larchmont yet under our radar since it’s not exactly on the main stripe of Larchmont Village. On Larchmont blvd close to Melrose Ave, Larchmont Larder [...]

We’ve been to plenty of Korean restaurants in Korea town but we never been to one that’s more refine and upscale. There’re lots of really good homey comfort food in Korean cuisine but I’m not sure if fine dining exists (please correct me if I’m wrong). Upon research, seems like Yong Su San‘s prix fixe [...]

My foodie friend recommended me this hole-in-the-wall joint Gon Jiam that served what he described as hidden Korean food. Even though the place is small and mom n’ pop shop feeling, it has an user friendly English + Photo menu on the wall. Yummy homemade condiment and side dishes. Pork Belly Bosam $18.23. I’ve had [...]

The much coveted Osteria Mozza (right next to Pizzeria Mozza) have opened for a long time, but we avoided it because of stories about the horrible waiting time, bad attitude and so so food. Has things died down a little bit? Recession? Nope. Even with reservation, we waited for almost an hour for our table. [...]

Shabu Shabu is perfect for cold weather when you wanted something healthy tasting as well. Like Seoul Garden Restaurant, Khan Shabu Shabu is another Korean’s Khan style place in Koreatown. The interior is more modern and slick than Seoul Garden, they served more Banchan (side dishes) as well. Three types of dipping sauce: sesame, daikon [...]
