Korean-Mexican Fusion: Kalbi Tacos?
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. Little Tokyo and the South Bay are home to delicious japanese food. Thai food in Hollywood, etc. But Koreatown has to be one of the [...]
Hot Korean Food on a Cold Day
Arcadia is full of good Chinese restaurants, but surprisingly, it has a pretty good Korean one, too. Young Dong Garden is hardly a hole in the wall, but located on busy Huntington Drive, many miss this place. You know you found a good Korean restaurant when as you walk from the parking lot to the [...]
The Corner Place
Ahh, in the greatest tradition of cannibalizing my own articles for other sites, here is a recent post from my site about our lunch yesterday.
I was eating here, taking pictures and thumbing notes into my cell phone, when I realized Daily Gluttony already wrote up something about The Corner Place exactly one month ago to [...]
GPF #1: Yokohama Ramen, Los Angeles
It seems like there are accolades for virtually everything. In high school, it was the “Best ________� awards. In college, students with 6.0 GPA’s were recognized and hooked up with some scholarship money to continue proper schooling.

Saketini
“This is one of the best, unknown places on the Westside” my friend told me. He may be right, and I have mixed feelings about writing it up here. It’s a tiny space and I would hate for my review to cause the reservation list to become unaccessible. I’m willing to take that chance though, [...]

I too am quite the novice when [...]
Korean BBQ - Dong Il Jang
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, [...]
24 hour Korean BBQ?!!!! The answer to my prayers
So upon hearing about an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, my girlfriend and I ventured out to Koreatown in search of this enticing place. However, much to my dismay, there was an hour and a half wait. With the both of us already dying of hunger, we decided to forego stuffing ourselves with beef and [...]
