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
7.9
A Korean fusion counter window in a Mar Vista strip mall where double-fried chicken wings and a bulgogi burger punch well above their price point. Chef Kang's tight menu leans on bold seasoning and crispy textures rather than variety, which keeps execution sharp across a small number of items. Best treated as a grab-and-go stop where the food quality outpaces the format.
Must-Try Dishes:
Korean Fried Chicken Wings, Chicken Burrito, Beef Bulgogi Burger
What Makes it Special: Korean fusion counter spot where Chef Kang's award-winning double-fried chicken wings and bulgogi burgers turn fast-casual into something worth a detour
