Koh Galbi Jjim with Cheese, Oxtail Brisket Soup, Sulungtang
What Makes it Special: Open 24/7 with blowtorched cheese galbi jjim, a late-night Koreatown institution

Must-Try Dishes:
Seafood Soondubu, Kalbi Combo, Hot Stone Bibimbap

A lively Korean gastropub in Oxford Center Plaza serving elevated anju until 2am with creative fusion touches.

7.8
A late-night Korean anju bar that leans into the shareable-plates-and-soju format with dishes like rose spicy tteokbokki and garlic chicken gizzard alongside frozen beer slushies. The room runs loud with K-pop and sports screens, which is exactly the point—it's built for groups posting up after 10 PM, not quiet dinners. The free parking lot behind the building is a genuine differentiator in a neighborhood where circling the block is the norm.
Must-Try Dishes:
Rose Spicy Tteokbokki, 420 Fries, Pork Belly with Green Onion
What Makes it Special: Late-night Korean anju bar open until 2am with frozen beer slushies, shareable bar plates, and a free parking lot in the heart of Koreatown
