LA has a lot of Korean restaurants… but if I had to pick just one, it might be ABSteak @absteakla 👀
The service? Amazing.
The food? Even better.
The vibe? Not my absolute favorite… but still solid.

🥟 vegetable dumplings
🍚 Korean nutrition rice
🍦 ice cream to finish

AB Steak by Chef Akira Back. Unreal cuts, insane banchan, in-house sauces… luxury vibes without luxury prices🥹
Premium combo: $185 for 3 (~$60 each) or $300 for a bigger group (~$50 each).
For this quality? A STEAL.
And the sikhye sorbet that comes included?
I’m sad I didn’t film it 😭 It’s not too sweet, super refreshing, the perfect palate cleanser to end the meal😌
