Koreatown's Michelin-guided Korean BBQ institution — prime-grade galbi, banchan ritual, and the room that put KBBQ on the national map
Park's BBQ has been the benchmark for Korean BBQ in Los Angeles since Jenee Kim opened it in 2003, and the awards that followed — James Beard, Michelin Guide recognition, LA Times accolades — confirmed what regulars already knew. The beef is USDA prime, which is unusual for a KBBQ restaurant, and the galbi cut — cross-cut short ribs marinated overnight in a sweet-savory blend — is the version against which every other restaurant measures itself. The banchan arrives in waves before the grilling begins, and the glass noodles (japchae) are the dish that most first-timers don't expect to be a highlight. The communal grilling format rewards larger groups.
Park's BBQ is koreatown's Michelin-guided Korean BBQ institution — prime-grade galbi, banchan ritual, and the room that put KBBQ on the national map. Regulars order galbi (short ribs) and chadol (brisket).
