Kogi Gogi

In the Venn diagram of affordable AYCE deals and high-quality meats, Kogi Gogi hits that sweet middle spot. The Sunset restaurant is our go-to for big group hangs or casual weeknights when we can’t be bothered to change out of our sweats (a solid stretchy wardrobe choice for this meal, anyway). The long space is as laidback as it gets, and the thinly sliced pork belly, chicken bulgogi, and beef bulgogi are packed with sweet-salty flavor. Their house special, which runs Monday to Thursday, is also one of the best deals in town: for $28.99 a person, you get your choice of four meats and three sides like corn cheese, gyoza, or tteokbokki, which ends up being more than enough food to feed a crowd.
