Pollo a la Brasa

regional · Bib

Peruvian in Koreatown? You bet, at least at this family-owned and run spot that has been at it for more than thirty years. Expect a casual neighborhood restaurant that's a touch warm on the inside from the heat of the live-fire cooking. All of the chicken is cooked over a wood fire that you can smell a block away and delivers smoky meat with a crispy skin that's marinated with their family secret. While there are a few options on the menu, make sure that you order the chicken by itself, or choose from their sides, but don't skip their twice-fried French fries and consider ordering a second con

Korean, Duck Specialities · Bib

It’s all about the duck—whole roasted in a clay pot—at this dining delight. And, since the very best things take time, seat-of-the-pants types must know that this platter requires a bit of of planning: order at least a day in advance. However, upon entering this Koreatown gem, one may look forward to being rewarded with a generously portioned dish to dream about for weeks. Stuffed with chestnuts, sweet potatoes, rice and herbs, then wrapped and roasted for hours, the bronzed beauty is plated before your eyes. A spicy dipping sauce and light broth with greens elevates the preparation to epic he

Liu's Cafe

Chinese, Taiwanese · Bib

Liu's Cafe is just the sort of casual spot you'll come to again and again. Arrive early, as seats fill quickly, then order at the wood counter, where you'll get a sneak peek into the bustling kitchen. You'll also spy their selection of pastries, which definitely shouldn't be overlooked. Order the house-made pork wontons for a tender, tasty treat, and be sure to get the extra egg noodles to soak up that wonderfully kicky chili oil. Braised pork belly rice is another dish of pure comfort, and no matter what you have, everything is complemented by a pot of tea, such as the milk oolong. Finally, t

Langer's

jewish · Bib

This beloved institution has been ladling matzoh ball soup since 1947 and started out as a humble operation with just a 12-seat counter. The restaurant today has grown considerably, now decked out with booths as well as a loyal fanbase that extends far beyond Los Angeles and across the entire country. Equally ample is the menu, with all the requisite standards such as latkes, blintzes and chopped liver. Breakfast is served all day. But if you’re here for the first time, there's only one way to go: the No. 19 hot pastrami sandwich with Swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian dressing.

Rasarumah

Malaysian · Bib

$$$

Expect to be greeted with an array of sambals as well as Malaysian classics on Chef Johnny Lee's Chinese-Malaysian menu. Don't let the slightly higher price point steer you away, as these large plates are designed for sharing. Pork jowl or chicken satay skewers start things off right, as do ulam bendi with charred okra, and steamed eggplant with sambal and dried shrimp. There are plenty of main dishes to choose from, but beef rendang in a rich and creamy curry accompanied by a buttery roti is a sure thing. To finish, look no further than the cendol sundae with coconut and pandan ice cream with

Parks BBQ

Korean, Barbecue

$$$

Lauded as one of the city's most cherished destinations for Korean barbecue, Parks has been luring patrons for years, evidenced by the photo wall of famous chefs, actors and politicians right by the front door. The interior is simple, as efficient, friendly servers do most of the work managing the grills and flipping and slicing meat. From bulgogi to galbi, the meat is prime quality and often lightly marinated. Pricier American wagyu will appeal to spendy guests, and the acclaimed garlic-soy-brown sugar marinade is ace with short ribs. Crisp kimchi pancakes served hot on cast-iron skillets as

$$$$

As has been the case since opening in 2005, purity and precision are the underpinnings of Chef Michael Cimarusti's California cooking, and his cuisine has grown even more impressive over the years. The tasting menu blends global inspiration and classic technique with a modern sensibility, and sources the freshest and most sustainable seafood, often wild-caught from American waters. At no point during the meal will you doubt its impeccable quality, especially while savoring dishes such as a tart of lobster mousse and box crab set in a crab beurre blanc, or roasted monkfish with cauliflower and

Korean, Regional Cuisine

$$$

Specializing in the storied dishes that were once served to Korea’s royals, this mini Seoul-based chain stands out from the K-town crowd. This is largely thanks to its hanbok-attired servers and warren of private rooms, featuring an expansive foyer with a counter and carved wooden seats with plush cushions. Most diners arrive in large groups to sample set menus that are available at various price levels. However, dining à la carte is a great option as well.Staples like bibimbap and colorful japchae noodles hit their marks, as does the galbijjim—sweet and savory braised short ribs—and all come
