Genwa Korean BBQ

For Korean barbecue outside of Koreatown, our favorite place is still this upscale mini-chain with outposts in Beverly Hills, Mid-Wilshire and Downtown L.A. The dizzying array of high-quality banchan make every diner feel like royalty, and the premium meat and seafood choices never disappoint for the nights when money is no object. As with other Korean barbecue restaurants, it’s best to order one of the set courses, all of which come with one or more cooked items like japchae (stir-fried potato-based glass noodles), soondubu or bibimbap.
