Is This the Best Korean Barbecue in All of LA? - K-Town

In this episode, K-Town host Matthew Kang joins one of his best dining friends Frank Lee for a rundown of three dishes at Park's: the raw yukhoe that comes gently marinated with soy and sesame; otherworldly American-style wagyu beef, and the house specialty of marinated prime beef short rib galbi.

Thank you Matthew Kang for the gift of K-Town! Your videos are awesome, big fan over here. It's the kind of food I crave in an ungodly hour of night. Still amazing. 😊

[@Babysealclubber]

Amen! :)

[@andrewlee4231]

I love this series and it is best Korean food series out there in youtube!

[@AuthorAngieWinters]

Korean short rib is just insanely good. That was mouthwatering.

[@Anonymous-nj2ow]

i love these little grill your own stuff restaurants, i havent done that before

[@ronyano]

Looks so good, can't wait to try it.

[@NikonChicFL]

I remember seeing a lot of Korean BBQ restaurants in Southern California years ago. But just now finding out what it really is. Had no idea it was like this wow!!

[@shihlin1]

You guys look like twins. The similar haircuts, glasses, shape of the faces, and the unquenchable passion for Korean BBQ. Wow, this is paradise !

[@Minsanity13]

How do u dislike this... they make it look so good

[@jayowens9434]

That is so good! I’ve been to SK and I miss it so much! Best food ever!

[@michellevang9031]

oh gosh, watching them eat just made me so hungry.

[@tr33squid]

In the 7th and fig shopping center in DTLA Park's BBQ has a sister food spot that you can get bowls of their KBBQ, perfect if you've never had KBBQ before and just want to try it, or if you want KBBQ but don't want to go sit down at a KBBQ and do all you can eat or whatever

[@tr33squid]

It's called oleego

[@ToMu29]

This video couldnt be posted more perfectly, visiting LA for the weekend, gonna check this out

[@carscars2346]

*Anthony Bourdain "came" here all the time. -RIP-

[@martinjavierpantoja6280]

Oh how I miss Korea can't wait to visit on my own terms ^_^

[@GruneD]

This is a great Korean bbq place highly recommended. The meat is delicious!

[@booonnoob7950]

It's still satisfying to see the meat cook

[@willsi]

Matthew always gives the best "Jizzin' my pants" faces.

[@oppositeofpovertyisgloriou8735]

I think Mike Chen should go up there and make a food review.

[@yahwehsonren]

Tsering Shrestha Korea englishman i hope with Mike chen

[@ChefRafi]

Does Mat Dol still exist? I used to love that place! 👨‍🍳👍

[@WolfersHD]

Thin cut beef is gods work, wish it was more popular in the states

[@RBuckminsterFuller]

Looks amazing.

[@rebeccahannigan5419]

I'm drooling 🤤

[@ChefRafi]

Koreans also eat raw liver soaked in sesame oil. I had it in a Korean restaurant and it was good. 😊

[@csmats5374]

That's real good meat. How could it not taste great? That last bit with the meat on the bone is the best, and with all the collagen is healthy for you too, as our modern meat diet doesn't include it in the proportions we consumed it in historically.

[@rogergarcia1550]

Park BBQ does have very good BBQ but recently tried Chung Ki Wa on Olympic and Arlington and may I say Chung Ki Wa is fantastic.

[@arbb5951]

Roger Garcia same here. But it is abit too over priced for me

[@RustyB5000]

that wagyu short rib cooks & looks like bacon. i'd love to try it

[@saigonoi9558]

parks on vermont is so good

[@shinkuflame]

Everyone watching is that guy at 1:55 standing in the distance... xD

[@misunderstoodanaid2u]

Can you do a kkbq one for like the Dallas area

[@scoutkbartholomew722]

I'm trying to go to LA over new years. Is this the place to go?

[@hanj31]

that meat on the bone is literally the best part! I always eat that part!

[@brozors]

Park is definitely the best in Ktown LA but it's not a casual spot and reserved for special occasions because it is also the most expensive Kbbq

[@TheColorchalk]

원래 육회를 깻잏에 싸먹는거였나요?

[@michaelcj1156]

Is it just me who thinks that Matt Kang should invite Frank Lee to this show from now on? He adds a lot of spark to the commentaries

[@SinisterKnightz]

He seems like a cool person. The kind of dude you would have over to sit down at the kitchen table for some good food and good conversation. What's the problem?

[@johnchang3665]

Hey bro ! If you want to try out one of the best Korean BBQ, I’d refer and strongly recommend you to 7’th Street Korean BBQ, on the corner of Vermont, and 7’th Street. Please give it a try then you’ll know that we’re in the same page & same boat.

[@quisthegreat6538]

That tartare looks good

[@langthangcali7046]

You you do a Korean BBQ in San Jose please

[@mariguano1360]

Witch is the best Korean bbq in the SGV. Or near?

[@LEE-kq9tq]

I am insanely jealous right now /droooooool

[@drianbintang1433]

When you pointed your finger at psy's picture, i was thinking like. "why would you have to show us your face?" and then it hit me like, "oh that psy, the gangnam style"

[@coplepk04]

Oh cool another video of the Korean guy reviewing sub-par Korean food and saying it's amazing.

[@Koreano213]

He's playing the hits. Places that typically have the most reviews on yelp. The real spots are the gems.

[@berlin63rd]

Quarters be lit for a boys night

[@zedrhyx1788]

the meatshow os the best show on eater

[@EdgeOfFate]

I'd like to see Nick Solares try the first dish

[@zoommash7238]

Kang Ho Dong is the best KBBQ！

[@br-ian]

Also, raw liver is eaten in Korea and it's delish. What do you guys know??

[@nighttrain7404]

I literally ate there today. It truly is the best one. My wife and I have eaten Korean BBQ all over. Quality beef wins

[@LearnWithEase87]

Star bbq tho.... So good for the money

[@NoWay23548]

The only difference between these two guys are the size of the glasses and the accent.

[@adakhochalai]

Kuemmerling Enthusiast 😂😂😂😂

[@user-yl9qf1cp2z]

word.

[@YH-bn5or]

月

[@frankyu553]

Even as an Asian American who sees Koreans (aka Diamond Bar) everyday, I agree haha

[@Nomicro4u]

0:01 PUPPY4U sign right under Parks BBQ 🐶🔪

[@migueldelosreyes681]

Nomicro4u wtf are you doing here

[@jordantruong305]

Cool

[@cashmack1596]

Nomicro4u lol

[@manvinderdhillon9489]

Nomicro4u I

[@Peterscraps]

You again?

[@Paulsicles]

2:28 - Holy fucking shit...

[@guyfawkes8873]

IMO the texture of a beef tartare suffers a lot if there is no sauce of any kind involved, and also it needs complimentary flavours compared to cooked beef, since there is no maillard reaction or other complimentary flavours inherent to the dish.

[@spyderkim]

you didn't even link it

[@agarage5683]

A difference between American and Japanese waygu is that the American isnt as fat and the marbling isnt as good as teh Japanese ones. Also, personally, I think American waygu doesnt have as much flavors than the Japanese. But American waygu is great and worth a try

[@warroom17]

Saint Andrew I agree. It's the process in which the Japanese tenderize and age their meat in comparison to other cultures. The fruits and vegetables reflect the same care.

[@nurlagrande]

I wish we had allll these different, unique and amazing Asian restaurants in London. We only have fake overpriced restaurants😒

[@bornyesterday2994]

Nur La grande and annoying accents

[@ki6eki]

Another Korean BBQ video in LA?

[@user-pr2hs7zu9y]

American hanwoo beef style (korean famous beef ) the best in the world !!!

[@bertlee3470]

honestly, it was good, (not as great as these 2 are demonstrating) but its so expensive now, im not sure its worth it

[@eezeezzz]

How expensive

[@ryanbarry7457]

Dang got em

[@ratchaponariyapongpisal6042]

parks quality really took a hit post-covid.

[@hnrocket]

ok guys, I've lived in Korea for a few years, and there's a lot more than just bbq stuff?????

[@DragonsNest_1]

All u can eat?

[@Claudia11613]

Non so perche ma veder tagliare la carne con le forbici mi fa rabbrividire

[@Vash_Carrison]

Whats the best KBBQ spot in Orange County?

[@GymbuBen]

Isn't it chosun galbee :v Buzzfeed worth it here xd

[@dooopersuper1497]

psy ma' man... oppa LA style

[@bornyesterday2994]

4:15 thats what lil nas x said

[@hilee7390]

I never known about they sell it raw beef to customer in america. the raw beef's kind of delicacy food, it wasn't popular food. also many Korean doesn't like that, so normal BBQ restaurants do not boast to them.

[@sleepyjoeisnotlegit]

If u look closely the cow is still moving "fresh from market"..

[@af8828]

Yukhoe 😂😂😂

[@Internet_Channel]

I do have to admit... this guy needs to diversify his subjects. Sheldon makes superior videos for Eater by doing more insightful features on a wide variety of cuisines.

[@wolfleader2]

RIP Anthony Bourdain

[@nikkosisowath4002]

WOW you guys are like twins!

[@NoSpillsChills]

That foo almost throw up after his tartar bite

[@jennifercarr7351]

Thank you for not saying Kobe

[@latte4081]

Yukhoe isn't the only raw Korean dish. There is soy sauce marinated crab that is raw

[@dannjrad2109]

Rip Anthony

[@shaneintegra]

"we should try the meat by itself" *Dips it into a few things*

[@iDelta77]

Oh my! i dont know if i can eat raw beef.

[@Saffrone221]

Yum :0

[@a04Xavi]

I hate to say this...but actually this is not Korean BBQ but rather it's more Yakiniku, Japanese BBQ because traditionally Korean BBQ is pork, not beef.

[@jamesdizzle420]

i actually thought both people where the same person

[@ThePoptimist]

Koreans love their egg - there isn't a dish that isn't improved by cracking on on top. But for pure joy - it's that thinly sliced garlic with the meat. Gaaaah

[@REIFTHATHIEF]

Where the tortiLLas?

[@tommychen6102]

Another Korean BBQ video ? Wow 😳

[@elith6930]

"Pretentious" has become a word people throw around when they've already put themselves on a pedestal.

[@alexvang8271]

3:39,4:14 that's what she said

[@TheEggPlantSama]

almost same haircut and glasses :')

[@homodeus8805]

If you put coca cola into meat 2 hour after that will be a lot of maggots

[@pemarinchhen]

I only know about Parks because of TigerBelly....any fans here??

[@memadman]

Don't drag it out !!

[@sahilsnpt]

I can't imagine myself eating raw meat!! yuk!!

[@deka360]

Very high quality dog, it tastes like cow!

[@BussyConnoisseur]

RiP Anthony

[@poipoundah]

Not all Asians look alike... Just these two guys.

[@rongotti4207]

How is it waygu if its american? Counterfiet

[@WolfersHD]

I like this host but agree that the content seems uninspired

[@natyeo8332]

the overcooked the wagyu meat, it looked pretty dry on the ssam HAHA

[@benhuynh1168]

Pizza

[@eater]

Burrito

[@MrLiangyuwei]

OMG you overcooking wagyu
