i don’t know why when i think of so cal, i automatically thought of the 90′s tv show, califorina dreams. god, i’m old… and cheesy. 
Kil mok! you have to try it, they have the best, most refreshing noodles… it’s in Korea town… I forget what streets though… if you ask around, i’m certain someone will know where it’s at

Posted by: PetiteMandoo on November 9th, 2007 at 9:58 ami loved that show too!
Posted by: gahngsta on November 9th, 2007 at 12:10 pmgil mok is on James M. Wood. In english it’s called The Corner Place. definitely a good place to go. between westmoreland and vermont on james m. wood.
if you also want to splurge a little, you should try Crustacean in Beverly Hills….garlic noodles, yummmmm.
one last place for shopping and sightseeing, santa monica and 3rd street promenade…nice place to sightsee, chill, and really get the california vibe on the pier and all the people walking around.
hope this helps!
thanks yvonne!

Posted by: PeanutPuff on November 12th, 2007 at 6:49 pmha. i totally forgot about that show. s. cal should be a blast. I can recommend some good korean bbq places in k-town. you should try Manna- all you can eat bbq and duk bok sahm(thin rice squares you wrap meat and lettuce in). i know that sounds like a vietnamese fresh roll but it’s entirely different and very YUMMY. there’s also this persian restaurant by south coast plaza i’d recommend but forgot the name. there’s soo many great places to eat! :D have fun escaping the rain!
