Dating a vegan guy, it’s not everyday that I go to a Korean BBQ restaurant. When the BF actually agreed to go to Park’s BBQ for dinner this weekend, I jumped at the opportunity before he had a chance to change his mind.

What I like best about living in LA is the accessibility to almost any type of food you crave. The SGV is home to many cantonese, chinese and taiwanese establishments.

I too am quite the novice when [...]

3455… this must be the place.
Welcome!
Dong Il Jang Restaurant is on 3455 West 8th Street.
It was a mid-week evening and I had a craving for Korean BBQ. I had heard that the really swanky place for Korean BBQ is Chosun Galbee. To read reviews of Chosun Galbee, go here, [...]
