Los Angeles is home to various Korean restaurants that provide a delightful culinary journey, blending centuries-old recipes with contemporary twists. These establishments ensure an authentic experience for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers to Korean cuisine. Food lovers can embark on an exploration through tofu stews, hand-cut noodles, and innovative fusion dishes, often stepping away from familiar prepackaged instant noodles for a richer and more satisfying experience.
Take Surawon Tofu House, for instance. They make their own homemade tofu—none of that manufactured nonsense. With their organic, non-GMO soybeans, they create bowls of soondubu that will have you craving for more.
On the other hand, MDK Noodles and Hangari Kalguksu have you covered if you're craving carbs. Every day, MDK's kalguksu noodles are freshly hand-cut and then tossed in a flavorful chicken broth or a hot chili sauce that will make your lips pucker. On the other side, Hangari sticks to tradition with their kalguksu soup, but they also have milmyeon available for those hot days.
However, Korean food is not solely focused on tofu and noodles. Kinn's is impressively showcasing their expertise in creating a tasting menu that challenges preconceived notions about Korean cuisine. We are talking sunchoke tacos and fish under a shallot blanket – it's like a party in your mouth.
If you're feelin' nostalgic for that classic Korean flavor, though, Kobawoo House got you. Their haemul pajeon (seafood pancake), bossam (boiled pork belly), and dotori guksoo (cold acorn noodles) will transport you straight to your grandma's kitchen, except without the guilt trip for not calling more often.
And let's not forget about the fermentation fam at Shiku over in Grand Central Market. They offer side dishes that are inspired by homemade lunch boxes. The banchan includes papaya kimchi and curry coleslaw, which will make you wonder why you ever settled for ordinary kimchi.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or are just dipping your toes in the Korean cuisine waters, LA's got spots that'll satisfy every craving. From the soothing tofu stews to the chewy noodles, each bite is a journey through flavors that'll have you comin' back for more.
