Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong Features Korean BBQ With A Modern Twist
[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]
- Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong, the Koreatown addition of the treasured Korean BBQ joint with locations in LA and Flushing, elevates traditional techniques with high-quality cuts of meat, a bustling vibe (where servers may randomly burst out dancing to Gangnam Style), and an endless supply of banchan
- Deuki Hong, the Korea-native chef who trained under Jean George, David Chang, and Aaron Sanchez, helms the kitchen; Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold even gave this Korean BBQ fan-favorite a glowing review
- Combos are ideal for a family-style dinner; choose between pork or beef (small for $75 or large for $105) and gather around your table’s personal grill. Steamed egg, corn, and cheese are slowly cooked on the rim of the BBQ plate throughout the meal and condiments are in no short supply

The wait time is crazy around dinner (expect to get cozy with your neighbors), so come at opening time (11:30am) or lunch, and if possible wear something you don’t care about because you might end up smelling a little smokey at the end of your meal
