This is my favorite thing to eat here. #9 is the version of this but with better slices of beef.
Also willing to bet that Daedo is better in Korea because they use hanwoo and can’t import it here.
Gonna try Origin tonight. Any must orders?
How was it?
I went with three friends last night and we had a blast. We ordered the “Halla Set” for $170, and threw in a kimchi pancake. The banchan were unremarkable verging on good.
Everything was great, all the meat was cooked perfectly by a huge cast of servers. With the set meal you get a corn cheese and a sizable noodle soup at the end. We drank four bottles of Cass and two soju.
The service was professional and brisk. They weren’t wasting any time asking if we’d dined with them before— but I never got the sense they were trying to turn our table. The meal lasted a bit past ninety minutes.
After tip our total was about $325. It’s absolutely a place I would take out of town guests, but I might not go there on my own for a casual meal.

I quite enjoyed and my Seoul-born buddy was also very impressed, which is perhaps a better endorsement!
Best KBBQ I’ve had in a while.

Modeum jeon at Haneuem hyped by Bill Addison. Should have gone for dinner, this stuff would have been really good with soju. Banchan were very good and different from the usual. Lots of other interesting things on the menu.

Found Cafe Giverny searching Yelp for bingsu. Oakobing wasn’t open yet and Anko has taken it off their menu. This was really good. The puffed quinoa adds another kind of crunch.
It’s a tearoom (see photos on Yelp) and French pastry bakery.

Moohan sounds potentially better than the usual AYCE.

Went to Pigya on 8th Street last night - one of my favorite places for pork in KTown. I usually go with the “Pork Gyu” combo, but some of the people in my group wanted beef, so we went with “Pigya”.
The “Pigya” combo ($95), recommended for 4-5, easily fed the 6 of us (3 men, 3 women). Great banchan, including full cabbage kimchi and marinated soybean sprout put directly on the cast iron.
Favorite item is the fresh pork belly, but everything is solid. Just make sure to drink lots of soju and leave room for the kimchi fired rice and hangover ramen that comes at the end of the meal.

It has taken me this long to finally get here
A couple of weeks ago: Jeonju Hyundaiok. Always with the clear soup. The crunchiest of crunchy bean sprouts. Always delivers.
My first time in since they had to move locations; the proprietor explained that the building was sold and they had to move. They lost out on that big dining area and the outdoor area.
Eat here. You. Must.

Their first space was at 3020 Wilshire, but i know the spot youre thinking of that also has Jeonju in the name. I used to mix them up all the time.
Jeonju Hyundaiok specializes in kongnamul gukbap!

What a find! A restaurant that specializes in bean sprout soup/rice? That’s what makes Koreatown one of the best neighborhoods in the country for food restaurants like this that specialize

Zzamong has JJM regular, sautéed (looks like the sauce is on the side), and stir fried (everything cooked together).
Which do you think is better and more flavorful? I only had it “regular”
Only had it regular as well. It’s fantastic already so I feel little need to change it up.
