Yongsusan Restaurant, Los Angeles

I was urged by my Korean GF to try this place. This restaurant is a classy operation all the way. From the moment you step into the unusual away-from-the-street entrance you feel the serenity and within moments are surrounded by the gracious personnel. In our pleasant, private dining room we enjoyed the Yong Table Di Hote for 30.99 each. The waitress kept appearing every few minutes with more dishes...Kimchi, sweet potato noodles, egg-battered seafood, beef, pumpkin soup, rice ball soup and other salads. And everything was absolutely delicious. Perhaps the nicest moment was when we asked to exit to the parking lot for a smoke before dessert. I asked if I should pay first and the hostess said it wasn't necessary. Just try that anywhere else they don't know you! We came back a few minutes later to enjoy our cookie and cold cinnamon tea. If you are new to Korean faire, I highly recommend you make YongSuSan your starting point.
