Best Restaurants in Koreatown 2026

Koreatown is one of LA's most dynamic dining destinations, and living at 856 S Gramercy Dr puts you right in the center of it all. Here are our top picks for 2026.

Korean BBQ

Parks BBQ

Widely considered the gold standard of Korean BBQ in LA, Parks BBQ serves premium USDA Prime cuts in a sleek, modern setting. The galbi (short ribs) and beef tongue are must-orders. Just a 5-minute walk from 856 Gramercy.

Quarters Korean BBQ

A more casual, hip take on Korean BBQ with an emphasis on pork belly and creative banchan. Great for groups and late-night dining.

Soups & Stews

Sun Nong Dan

Famous for their galbitang (short rib soup) that's been simmering for hours. Rich, hearty, and perfect for a late-night meal. The bone marrow is legendary.

Kobawoo House

A Koreatown institution known for their bossam (boiled pork wraps). The line can get long on weekends, but it's worth every minute.

Noodles & More

Ma Dang Gook Soo

Handmade knife-cut noodles in a rich anchovy broth. Simple, satisfying, and incredibly affordable. A neighborhood favorite.

Beverly Soon Tofu

Soft tofu stew perfection. Choose your protein and spice level, and every order comes with a complimentary egg and rice.

Modern Korean

Majordomo

David Chang's LA outpost blends Korean-American flavors with California ingredients. The ssam platters and bing bread are signatures.

Late Night

One of the best things about living in Koreatown is the late-night dining scene. Many restaurants stay open until 2 AM or later, meaning you'll never go hungry after a long day.
