Gui Rim (Koreatown)

Food 07: Mid-Wilshire

These thinly sliced beef are so easily burn (still a novice).

Marinated boneless rib, DELICIOUS! So good!

There're so many BBQ restaurants in K-town, to find a good lcoal neighborhood one (not the big name famous ones everyone goes to) is to try one by one yourself. I found this newly opened one on 6th street. They use good traditional charcoal grill, and good variety of dipping sauce. It is about $15 per person, quite good. The choice of meat is basic, but there're many other parts (tongue, brisket, etc).

Yeah, I never felt like 'home'...I sometimes think it's kinda sad yet I'm comfortable with it. I don't relate to the Asian 'community' nor the supposed Asian's interest and experience. ^^;;

You grew up there yet you still feel an outsider?? LA is quite multi-cultural and not all-white, so I thought it would be easier to feel home...

All Koreans except a table of Caucasians and us. Before it is known that k-town is un-foreigner friendly with Korean only signages/menus and waiters can't speak english etc. I think it's mostly Americans who complain about that (others should cater to their comfort level instead of the other way around) because I don't feel that at all...but then I always feel like an outsider wherever I go in LA so I'm used to it. Most restaurants have giant photos on wall so you can point and click. Maybe these recent years has improved. Perhaps I need to go to the hardcore Korean local part of town to experience that. ^^;; For some reason a lot of waiters assume we're Japanese and some spoke Japanese to us.
