Chosun Galbee

One of LA’s longest-running Korean barbecue restaurants continues to excel at two things: quality and classic flavors. With a large outdoor dining space and a solid takeout situation, Chosun Galbee has endured because of its dedicated following and impressive execution. There are elements of reverence and seriousness to dining here, which is an asset for anyone seeking authentic Korean food. The warm servers all wear traditional garments to heighten the classic feel, while also donning earpieces in the upscale modern setting. The wait may seem long, but the food is worth it.

The menu may appear extensive, including traditional barbecue staples, but these are elevated by the kitchen's exceptional attention and competence. If you are looking for outstanding Korean barbeque, choose the naengmyeon with a combination meat plate. The sheer variety of banchan on offer is impressive. This is also the ideal location for large groups looking for exceptionally tender meat to barbecue on the spot. Galbee junullk is a standout, with short ribs made with the house's "secret" soy sauce, then grilled with onions and mushrooms right in front of your eyes.
