Hi, Ed!
Chosun is definitely delicious! We had our office holiday lunch there last year. I used to go to business dinners there more often, but now Chosun is the occasional treat -- when I need to be reminded what really good quality Korean BBQ is like! 
Thanks for the tip!
Cheers,
Daos
Kogi Truck: Interesting Mix of Mexican and Korean Foods
I find living in Los Angeles to be interesting. I can find all types of food within "short" driving distance. Yes, driving around for 30+ minutes for dinner is part of my daily routine. Somehow food in the other end of LA always taste better! For the past...
:-) LA is a great town for foodies, isn't it?
There is always something new for us to try! ATM, what's the topping on the taco? Is it grilled onions and scallions? I haven't tried the Kogi truck because I'm too lazy to figure out where it will be. Why chase it on Twitter (which I don't know how to us...
LA = yummy foods
Hi Daos, Yes, we're lucky to be living in LA where we can get various yummy foods. The toppings are raw onion, scallion and kimchi. It has a good spicy, citrus taste to it. It's definitely not worth chasing for this truck all over LA... I'll "focus" on tr...
Hey Daos, I highly recommend...
Hi Daos, The next time you're in K-Town searching for Korean BBQ, I highly recommend Chosun Galbee. It's on the pricey side but definitely worth it. Regards, ED-209

Hello Daos! Here's ED209's review on Chosun Galbi Korean BBQ in the WFED forum: www.network54.com .. -MW
Thanks, MW!
Ed took some great photos! The only two cuisines I could eat everyday are Korean (BBQ short ribs and pork belly, spicy tofu soups, and hot pot rice dishes are my faves) and Japanese (sushi, udon/ramen, and homestyle favorites like katsu-don). Cheers, Daos
Interesting!
L.A. is a foodie's paradise supposedly. Unfortunately for me, because everyone likes to eat so much, this means I have to go to Ding Tai Fun (Taiwanese Dumpling house) at 4:30PM to avoid the dinner crowd. This is a novel new concept. After looking at the ...
One trip to try out Kogi hype is more than enough...
Hi Patrick, I'm definitely not going to be part of the next crowd lining up in front of Kogi truck. Yes, my boyfriend will have a kick in knowing that he's right, AGAIN! With regards to Din Dai Fung, dumpling house located in Arcadia, it opened up another...
Superica in SB, Patrick? If so, one of the best Mexican restaurants . . .
. . . north of the border, or so they say ;-) . . . cordially, Art
Art, you do get around!
I didn't remember the name of the restaurant, but I did remember the outside appearance; therefore I googled "Superica" and I found "La Super-Rica" Restaurant to be the restaurant I was referring to, with photos to confirm it. I think this will become a r...
;-) . . .
. . . yeah, you can say that again! I've been to a lot of dives worth mentioning in So Cal . . . cordially, Art
Yes, but not what it used to be
Sad to say. Mrssnak frequented the place heavily in the 70s. We have visited together since, but she swears it pales to its former self. It was okay for me.
Thanks ATM!
Hello ATM! Thanks for taking one for the team and trying it out! LOL! Where are you going to try next? -MW
Ho dduk Cart will be next...
Hi DRMW, Ho dduck (I called it Hot Dog and been driving my Korean buddies nuts!) Cart for Korean sweet pancake will be my next "chase-the-cart" journey. Just the thought of having brown sugar wrapped in soft sticky dough that is slightly crunchy on the ou...
My roach coach tale goes back decades . . .
. . . when Chema's Taco truck used to serve up six varieties of tacos Friday and Saturday nights on the south-east corner of Whittier Blvd and Gretna in Whittier. Their tacos were so indescribably delicious that there would be a line extending around the ...
i used to be a Donor kebab addict many years ago
a large Pitta bread filled with half cooked compressed minced lamb and fat still dripping in hot fat covered in hot chilli sauce salad and pickled green chilli's was pure bliss. it really is as bad as it sounds, but after a few beers its now the staple di...
Let us know when you find...
Hi Art, Let us know when you find another to-die-for carne asada place! Hi Graham, Sounds tasty! I had my share of Pitta bread filled with compressed minced lamb during my trip to New York. It was served from a truck, came highly recommended from my New Y...
ATM, i think you were...
ATM, i think you were probably drunk if you enjoyed it :) best Graham
:-) After an hour wait, I was just starving...
Hi Graham, Everything taste better when I'm hungry, lol. Have a great weekend! ATM
Recovering now.....
I went downstairs to look for today's lunch, and there it was! After a 40-minute wait, I walked away with a short rib burrito, pork sliders and a chicken taco. Regrettably, I didn't love any of it. The meats weren't hot, and the veggies weren't cold or cr...
After the experience I had last night...
Hi Glickman, After a taste of taco short rib last night, I'm going to appreciate tonight's dinner at authentic Korean bbq much more! For now, i'll keep my "truck-food-adventure" to grilled hot-dog wrapped in bacon outside my office. The joy of lunch in do...
cool post on the Kogi truck
Hi ATM, Cool post regarding the Kogi truck. Sorry to hear that it didn't live up to the hype, but IMO I kinda expected that. I also agree with you regarding K-town, nothing beats grilled beef versus Mexican/Korean fusion soft tacos. But you never know unl...
Especially when it's charcoal grill vs...
Hi ED-209, Thanks for checking out the post! IMO, charcoal grill bbq taste better than flame grilled Korean bbq. Hmm... I should look for a new Korean bbq place to try out this weekend .
Hi ATM, how are you?
As you may very well know, we have a lot of "Lunch Wagons" in Hawaii. Even before them, there used to be what we called, Manapua Man. There were several, old Chinese men, walking the neighborhoods with a broomstick-like bar across their shoulders, and on ...
Yummy shrimp shack in north shore...
Hi Bob, I'm doing well. How are you and Patty? I sure miss Honolulu, especially the food there are awesome! I'll fly out there just to drive out to North Shore for Romy's shrimp shack. Thinking about the good time I had during March visit, I guess I shoul...
Ahh, kimchi...
Who could not love fermented vegetables that have been sitting outdoors in semi-open jars for 6 months? ;-) Love the stuff and Korean BBQ. Live too far away to chase the truck, but it's got quite the hipster quotient in L.A. these days.
IMO, not missing much...
Hi Mrsnak, IMO, you won't be missing much for not chasing the truck. Don't you just love living in LA and having Korea Town located centrally in LA? . Regards, ATM
