I don’t, but others here do:
Mini Kabob has tables now and it’s always super yummy.
For something different, I love Jin Cook. I wish they had one in Koreatown… that is how much I like it…
If you are going to be anywhere around Burbank…
My favorite market to pick up Marinated Meats for home is Raffis. SO GOOD.
The Chicken Salad at Little Nelly is amazing. Highly recommend. It’s such a cute little place too…
If you are coming up the other way, in Cypress Park… I recommend Shin’s Pizza and the new B’ivrit vegan …
Jin Cook - Buena Park
Delicious spicy galbi jjim - all chunks of short rib and the sauce is spicy and slightly sweet.

And a very good bibimbap

Newhall & adjacent is going to be the next Korean enclave.
Jin Cook is an absurdly legitimate restaurant l/ small chain that seems to specialize in hot stone, eg bibimbap / galbijim / etc. it has the taste of ktown with a few changes for the neighborhood including a smaller but still incredibly legit ban chan / kimchi spread of 3 items, English speaking staff, and SCV clean interior.
Highly recommend for anyone north of 5/14.
Seems pretty promising. I hope the Santa Monica location is as good as the other ones and, if so, that this place can escape the curse of the other 3–4 eateries that have been there…
