MUN Korean Steakhouse and Patio

MUN Korean Steakhouse and Patio is an upscale Koreatown spot with two distinct vibes under one roof—a sleek, all-black indoor dining room equipped with smokeless grills, and a 4,000-square-foot dog-friendly stringlit patio out back. The menu leans heavily into prime cuts with glorious marbling—ribeye, aged boneless short rib, hanging tender (tossi), and chuck tail flap. It's the kind of beef program you'd expect at a high-end chophouse. But it's the cauldron-style cooking that sets MUN apart: they grill the pork belly on the raised center, let the fat render down into the moat, then drop kimchi into the pool of pork fat to caramelize. Along with yuzu highballs and blackberry sage margaritas. Combos vary from the Steakhouse to the Patio. For MUN Steakhouse, the OMG Combo ($200) feeds four and includes prime beef belly, prime ribeye, seasoned hanging tender, seasoned short ribs, pork belly, and pork jowl—plus the endless procession of banchan, which includes wonderfully meaty king trumpet mushrooms. Out back, MUN Patio swaps the yang steakhouse aesthetic for a campground-meets-pojangmacha vibe, complete with a DIY ramen bar and treats for your four-legged friends. Try the Pabulous combo (pa’ kimchi and pork belly, fried rice and jajangmyeon) and the two newest additions to the menu: the Arirang Saap ($49 regular; $69 large)—a Thai-style pork bone tower drenched in tangy chili-lime sauce, and the Awe-ssam ($49)—a build-your-own-bite situation with sweet and spicy bulgogi, ssam wraps, rice, and sides. Hot take: MUN Patio is arguably the best outdoor KBBQ offering in L.A.
