I am going to Santa Monica for a conference and want to find a Korean restaurant that is higher end...help?

Question

I am hoping restaurant would be great/good food and a classy atmosphere and $ is no object as I have an expense account and I will be taking some surgeons out who specifically asked me to find a good Korean restaurant...any suggestions would be great! I don't mind driving 10-15 minutes from santa monica but prefer no further.

Answer 1

I've been away too long to tell you off the top of my head,  but at the conference center you're in or near hotels, and the concierge at the hotels job is to know the answer to that kind of question.  And he'll know what restaurants are currently open and really good.  All my info would be old info.

Try Cho Sun Galbi, not sure how far it is from Santa Monica but the food and service is great!

Answer 3

Try Wharo on Washington Blvd & Lincoln.  It is really good.  Not super fancy but very authentic & good & fresh!

It's only 10 mins from Santa Monica on Lincoln Blvd!

Or try Sawtelle just N. of Olympic Blvd. It's little Asia section in that area & there are lots of japanese & korean places.   Sorry but I don't have any recommendations there as I don't dine in that area often.
