miss KOREA BBQ
8.6
24-hour Koreatown energy with fast grill service, thick-cut pork belly, and a steady parade of side dishes. It’s more party than polish, but the meats are consistently well-marinated and seared, and the place thrives on late-night appetite. One of the zip’s highest-volume BBQ stops for a reason.

Extra-thick samgyeopsal, Spicy marinated pork, Kimchi stew

Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but expect to wait, especially on weekends. It's best to call ahead if you're arriving during peak hours, or come earlier in the evening.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes, though the environment can be lively and loud. It’s a great spot for older children or teens who enjoy hands-on dining and a bustling atmosphere.
