The Prince

This historic Koreatown restaurant has been in countless movies and TV shows, but what keeps today’s diners coming back is the excellent menu of Korean bar staples like mouthwateringly crispy fried chicken, kimchi fried rice and heaping platters of spicy seafood noodles. The cocktails may not be great, but there’s plenty of beer and soju to wash it all down, and the moody red lighting, oak panels and oil paintings make it our favorite old-school joint in the neighborhood for a nightcap or a casual night of food and drinks with friends.
