    Now it’s time for a hangover cure from our favorite food critic. At Ham Ji Park in Koreatown, Jonathan Gold says the pork neck chowder, or gamjatang, and grilled pork spare ribs will cure all that ails you.

    Ham Ji Park

    4135 West Pico Boulevard

    Los Angeles, CA 90019

    Read the review Jonathan wrote about Ham Ji Park for the LA Times — remember this is the restaurant’s original location — on the LA Times website. Then check out pictures of these tasty dishes on the plate on the Good Food blog, courtesy of our very own web producer Camellia Tse.
