101 Best restaurants of Los Angeles

"#33 Much of the menu at this Koreatown darling, open 24 hours every day, focuses on variations of sullungtang, the cloudy, vitality-restoring soup made from slowly simmering beef bones. But the impatient crowds milling outside its strip-mall façade at noon or 6 p.m. aren’t here for a hangover cure. Most have come, friends in tow, for the galbi jjim. a crimson hill of short ribs, gochugaru-flecked potatoes and chewy rice cakes that easily feeds four. Cheese will be requested; phones will be brandished. The server delivers the galbi jjim in a stone pot on a wooden platter, sprinkles shredded mozzarella, pulls out a no-joke blowtorch and aims it at the stew until the cheese melts. Humans can’t resist staring into fire; everyone in the restaurant gapes mesmerized, every time. Another staffer follows with scissors, snipping the meat into manageable pieces. The stew is a miracle. It soothes, it burns, it satisfies, it exhilarates, and it will make you look like an Instagram baller. Beer, wine and soju only at San Gabriel location. Valet and street parking. Credit cards accepted."
