Seongbukdong ​ for Galbi jjim

Picture
The sole purpose of coming to this restaurant is the Galbi jjim (braised beef short ribs).  It's incredibly tender, perfectly melt in your mouth goodness.  I haven't found a good spot in the SFbay area and this is one of two restaurants in LA that does this dish justice apparently.  Also got the kimchi stew, delicious!  The galbi jjim isn't very large, it was good enough for 2 small Chinese girls that actually eat quite a bit.  So, either order two if you've got more people coming (my suggestion because it is the star of the show), or order more dishes.  

The restaurant is small, but if you go to dinner just a bit early, you might not have to wait very long.   It's in the main Koreatown strip and pretty easy to find. There's valet (yay).

SomiSomi for dessert!

I love to try new foods, but there are some things that I love SO much that I'll sacrifice being able to try something new to eat it again and again and again.  That is my love for SomiSomi's ice cream taiyaki.

So, this photo is from the first time we went, but since then I've been 3 times (I think?) every single time I've gone to LA.  The green tea ice cream is a bit thicker and creamier than the milk flavor, so I like to get the swirl.  I fill mine with nutella, because in dessert life, for me, nutella is queen.  Their milk flavor, for those unfamiliar, is similar to that of condensed milk, but much lighter here.  You can also fill with red bean or custard.  I've been meaning to try the custard, but sometimes, I just don't want to regret trying something new when I'm too in love with what I know to be tried and true.  You can get a cup to go with it as it melts quickly (because those taiyakis are fresh!

Park in the Hmart lots, second or third floors, take the escalator to the storefront (no seating), don't forget to validate when you order.

    Quit my non-profit career in a fit of YOLO rage. Blessed enough to go from wanderlust to wanderslut.  Collecting cities & countries, not men.
