Aghassi Gopchang

Ahgassi Gopchang’s first location is in LA, and it’s BTS-approved. The second is in a bright bi-level space in Koreatown, with pink flowers on the walls and gas grills on every table. It’s a fun, slightly upscale spot for KBBQ , and perfect when you need two things: fantastic galbi and the intestinal cuts known as gopchang. Unlike many of its neighbors— Gopchang Story across the street, for example—it excels at both. Get one of the combos, starting around $90 for two people. Or, if you’re going a la carte, focus on the large intestine stuffed with melty fat and juicy short rib that forms a nice crust on the griddle. Skip the cheesy corn—it gets a little congealed—but do order some tangy kimchi jjigae and a bottle of soju for the table.
