    This week on Good Food, Jonathan Gold visits Kang Hodong Baekjeong in Chapman Plaza, which he describes as the epicenter of Korean Nightlife in Los Angeles. He says the meat at this Korean BBQ joint is better than most other restaurants and he is currently fascinated by the dosirak – the Korean equivalent of a Bento Box – because here it’s shaken vigorously to distribute all of the ingredients therefore you get the perfect amount of ingredients with each chopstick full.

    Kang Hodong Baekjeong

    3465 W 6th St

    Koreatown

    (213) 384-9678

    All of Jonathan Gold’s restaurant suggestions are on the Good Food Restaurant Map [http://blogs.kcrw.com/goodfood/restaurant-map/].\
