BCD Tofu House
BCDs are amazing 24/hour tofu houses that serve much more than tofu: Korean homestyle foods in generous portions and a jovial atmosphere.

Chunju Han-il Kwan
For casual and homestyle Korean cooking, this is a prime spot for settling in and filling up.
Jae Bu Do
For delicious seafood K BBQ, the banchan here is special as well.
Parks BBQ
Park’s is a classic OG place with prime cuts for BBQ and good drinks.
Yangmani
Very quality cuts of meat and a slightly younger crowd than Park’s in terms of ambiance.
Openaire
The rooftop space is a heavenly haven for hanging as well as good small plates and strong beverages to keep you going.
Han Bat Shul Tang
For the best ox-bone soup in the city with various iterations of meat.
Wi Spa
The best K Spa in LA on Wilshire, the canteen here serves giant bowls of bibimbap, seaweed soup, cutlets, and smoothies.
Yuk Dae Jang
Arguably the best Korean brisket soup in the city, the flavor and textures of the soups hit hard.
H Mart
Don’t discount H Mart as a grocery store only, check out their on-site food which is flavorful and hearty.
