Our Top Pick
BBQ+RICE Venice
Fast-casual Korean BBQ bowls with generous portions at budget-friendly prices
Notable Picks
8.1
A fast-casual Korean bowl operation built on saucy, sautéed proteins over rice with a rotating lineup of house-pickled vegetables that punch above their weight class. The Mar Vista outpost delivers the same formula that's kept the mini-chain busy since 2017: counter-order efficiency, portions that stretch into tomorrow's lunch, and bowls that stay under $15. Works best for weekday refueling when you want flavor density without the wait or wallet damage of a full Korean BBQ spread.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bulgogi Bowl, Spicy Chicken Bowl, Pork Bowl
What Makes it Special: Fast-casual Korean BBQ bowls with generous portions at budget-friendly prices
Worthy Picks
7.7
A compact, mostly takeout-focused spot where Chef Kang riffs on Korean flavors through burgers, tacos, and fried chicken. It’s more fusion-forward than traditional, but the sauces and marinades land cleanly, making it a fun change-up in the neighborhood.
Must-Try Dishes:
Galbi Taco, Bulgogi Burger, Soy-Garlic Korean Fried Chicken
What Makes it Special: Korean street-food energy filtered through tacos and burgers.
