Koreatown
Vibes: Comfort Food Classics Business Lunch Power Players Family Friendly Favorites
A long-running Seoul-style bulgogi house that also quietly excels with Korean seafood staples. The soy-marinated crab and shrimp pancakes are the real seafood draws, delivering deep brine and sweet soy balance that regulars return for. Come for the heritage grill experience, but order strategically and it doubles as a strong seafood meal in Koreatown.
Must-Try Dishes: Soy-Marinated Crab (Ganjang Gejang), Red Shrimp Jeon, Assorted Seafood Stew
