The oversized deep-fried pork cutlets have already made this Koreatown newcomer go viral on TikTok and Instagram, but Lasung House lives up to the hype with a delicious, surprisingly light schnitzel-like crust, fusion-style noodle dishes and a refreshing rice sikhye slushie drink that’s liable to conjure childhood memories for plenty of Korean Americans. Nostalgia plays aside, the comfort food menu hits the sweet spot between price and quality at a time when the average price of dining out is higher than ever, all while adding something fairly unique to the neighborhood’s sprawling, densely packed dining scene. Beyond the pork cutlet, which you can also top with cheese or order spicy, we’d also recommend the refreshing buckwheat noodles and mild spaghetti bolognese. It might not be the most exciting concept on paper, but if you’re looking for an affordable, tasty new place to try, put Lasung House at the top of your list
