Chosun Galbee Restaurant

The BBQ here was very good, especially the Kalbi (or galbee), which was juicy and tender. The pajeon is a MUST; it is way better than many others that I’ve tried. If this restaurant was near where I lived, I’d probably just order it as a meal for myself. The restaurant itself is very clean and nice, with a modern-looking outdoor seating as well as indoor. The pricing is about what I’d expect from Korean, a bit more expensive than other restaurants, but good-sized portions and plenty of side dishes.

I really liked the food at Chosun. The meat is always tender and the banchan (side dishes) are very good. They do not give as many side dishes as some of the other Korean restaurants I’ve been to but nevertheless what they have is good.

The service was excellent and the restaurant is very clean.

i came here for the first time for an early dinner over the weekend, and was really impressed by the high quality food. it’s probably one of the best korean bbq places (both in regard to food and ambiance) i’ve ever been to. this isn’t your usual hole-in-the-wall or mom ‘n pop type restaurant. it’s incredibly clean, trendy, upscale, and modern, and has a nice garden outdoor patio. it’s mandatory $2 valet, and the service can be a bit frigid/brisk if you’re not korean (which i suppose goes for many korean places). korean bbq always runs on the high side, and i thought for sure everything would be more expensive given how trendy and nice this place seemed, but it wasn’t too far from the usual prices i’ve run into at other korean bbq places. all the more reason to return.

If you dont want to do “all you can eat” and also have ure cholesterol shoot up a zillion points and actually want some quality chosun is always good!
anywase… get the galbi and some hite beer to go with it!
MEAT + BOOZE = GOOD TIMES!

this is my favorite korean bbq restaurant in town.

this place is known for the “old school” feel, and the waitresses wear the traditional korean gowns while serving.

expensive, and the portions aren’t too large.

i come here for family gatherings, and manna w/friends.

Perhaps the best Korean bbq I’ve had in LA, good for a large group, they do the cooking at the table and fun to share.

Everything about this place is impeccable. You can’t fault CHOSUN for being as perfect and pristine as it is. Who cares if there’s an “impress the out-of-towner” feel to it? It’s actually a lovely place to take someone who appreciates a fantastic and clean AMBIANCE and EXCELLENT FOOD.
