David Chang's LA flagship runs on large-format showpieces—the two-day smoked short rib sliced tableside, then repurposed into beef rice—built for groups who want to pass platters and share. The warehouse energy runs loud and industrial by design, so this works best when you're leaning into the communal table rhythm rather than looking for quiet conversation.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bing, Bossam, Stuffed Peppers
