Baekjeong Korean BBQ LA

We went here for dinner in our first night in LA. Definitely was excited to go here because I had recently just visited the New York one.

In terms of the side dishes, I will say New York had more variety (ie they had the crab cakes). Nonetheless, food was still good. They had the side of eggs that slowly gets cook as you’re eating, which is similar to New York.

The combo we got was the beef combo that serves 4-5 people. It came with the pork kimchi stew that was really really good.

For drinks, got some peach flavored Soju.

So yea, would come back here again. It is recommended to make a reservation ahead of time (although they are strict about your whole party showing up at the same time).

Baekjeong Korean BBQ

Wanted to get some kbbq after after work drinks, and this was close by and highly recommended.

For drinks got Soju with milk. For the main, we got the Hodo’s favorite small combo (which feeds 2, but still was fine for 3 of us), which include beef, short ribs and pork belly. All great food (they also cooked the food for you). As well, the side dishes came with fish cake and broccoli, which is what you want. Also, they had this interesting side dish that we mixed with egg, cheese and corn. Lastly, we did order cold glass noodle soup and kimchi soup. Also all great.

I would go back here in a heart beat.

Seoul Country Korean Restaurant

So this restaurant was rated 2.8 on Yelp, which definitely caught my attention. However, it was the only Asian available restaurant close by (and Cyrene really wanted to try it out). In the end, I would give this place 3.5.

The interesting thing about this place is that it served both hot pot and K BBQ. So we got one of each. We got one seafood hot pot (sauce was spicy, but good, and the seafood in it was crabs, squid, scallops, tofu, and vegetables). Not sure if was worth the $50 price tag, but Cyrene really liked it. For the K BBQ we got the bulgogi (which I enjoyed more than the seafood).

Also, I guess it’s worth mentioning we got hot Sake to accompany the meal.
