 LA Weekly - Koreatown's Top 40
My father, a great fan of buffets, particularly admired the spread at VIP, the first grand restaurant in Koreatown, and I had been taken to the Pear Garden, up on La Cienega’s restaurant row, for bulgogi since I was a child.
But as Koreatown grew and spread, what was remarkable was the huge range of restaurants, not just noodle shops and barbecue parlors but fish houses and sushi bars, taverns devoted to a specific kind of homemade rice wine and the small dishes, anju, that might be served with it.
Years later, home to a reputed 850 places to eat and drink, as well as scores of nightclubs, coffeehouses, billiard parlors, supermarkets and bookstores, Koreatown has matured into one of the great nightlife districts in the world, a veritable restaurant paradise shoehorned right into Los Angeles’ urban core.

 'Koreatown' Image Divides A Changing Annandale (washingtonpost.com)
In reality, the face of downtown Annandale -- a collection of aging strip malls and low-rise office buildings -- has changed from white to Asian, and its unofficial, oft-invoked moniker is Koreatown.
Still, the term Koreatown offends some members of the area's civic associations who are mostly non-Asian and who protest whenever their hometown is referred to as a Korean enclave, especially because relatively few Koreans live there.
"Koreatown is a divisive word," said Eileen Garnett, a civic leader who has lived in the neighborhood for more than three decades.
