Korea Town Foodie Adventures #2

Recently, on another trip to Korea Town for some shopping and errands, I was hit with the craving for meat. But not the usual Korean barbecue, I wanted Brazilian churrrasco. M Grill, located on Wilshire Blvd., is a korean owned Brazilian barbecue restaurant. Their meat rotation includes an impressive 13 kinds of meat at dinner. My favorites are top sirloin cap, chicken thigh and garlic steak. The meat is rotated on spits with various seasonings then brought out to diners by waiters equipped with a knife for table-side carving. Throughout the meal, these servers bring out hot new meats to your table. To complement the meat heavy menu, M Grill offers the salad bar and hot foods section. Garlic rice, pasta, salad complete the meal. Although dinner for two will cost you over 80 dollars with tip, M Grill is a great place to introduce yourself to Brazilian churrasco!

The next stop was one of countless Korea town cafes: Heyri Cafe.
I ordered a smoothie that was nothing special except its huge size. But the monster cup came with a price. All of Heyri Cafe's drinks are very overpriced and the only thing great about this cafe was its atmosphere. What used to be a house, the two story cafe is very cozy with a cute outside patio. But if what you're looking for is smoothies or coffee without the ambiance, just try Jamba Juice or Starbucks.
