Park’s BBQ
About
Park's BBQ, on Vermont Ave in K-Town, has been open since 2003 and is known for top-quality meat; a lot of people treat it as the benchmark for K-Town barbecue. It serves USDA Prime beef and combo sets with plenty of banchan. Prices run high; book for peak times.
Jasmine says
The classic old-school barbecue; its meat sets the bar for the area.
Insider tips
- USDA Prime meat is the signature; if the budget allows, go straight for the top combo
- Always book at peak times; tables turn fast, but the line moves even faster
- Order: P1 Combo $99: banchan, bulgogi, rib-eye and boneless short rib all in one
- Order: Kimchi fried rice (huge, gone in seconds)
- Order: If the day's Korean tapas include glass noodles, get them
Jasmine’s notes
- KoreatownThe BBQ spot Jenee Kim opened in 2003, which won the James Beard award for Outstanding Hospitality in 2018 and is still Koreatown's standard answer. Always book ahead on weekends.Order: For three or four people, the P1 combo (bulgogi, brisket, boneless short rib, Park's galbi); finish with a stone-pot rice
