Sō Korean BBQ began as a humble family-run eatery in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, founded by Chef Minsoo Park, who dreamed of blending traditional Korean flavors with a modern twist. With the passing of time, the Sō Korean BBQ menu has evolved from a simple lineup of marinated meats and homestyle sides to an extensive grill experience that celebrates both authenticity and innovation.
Its popularity soared through word-of-mouth — locals couldn’t get enough of the sizzling short ribs and perfectly seasoned bulgogi grilled right at the table.
Today, Sō Korean BBQ continues to serve its legendary dishes alongside a few secret menu favorites known only to devoted regulars — like the spicy honey pork belly and truffle kimchi fried rice.
Yet, despite its evolution, the restaurant’s original signature beef galbi remains the timeless favorite that keeps fans coming back for more.
