    Yi Cha means "second round" in Korean, which tells you the plan: show up already fed and keep going. It's a Korean gastropub on North Figueroa, doing pub food with a Korean American accent, like nachos piled with ginger-braised pork and chicken wings in gochujang Buffalo sauce. The cocktails run toward lychee and soju, and the bubbling gamjatang is a fine reason to ignore your original dinner plans.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Korean barbecue nut medley

      “The menu opens with bar snacks like a Korean barbecue nut medley with chile-dusted walnuts and peanuts, and fish jerky grilled over binchotan charcoal.”

    • K-town nachos

      “Lee’s KFC (Korean fried chicken) wings return, served with gochujang Buffalo sauce, as well as her K-town nachos smothered in queso and ginger-braised pork.”

    • Gamjatang

      “Gamjatang, one of Lee’s favorites, comes out bubbling with ramyun noodles and tteokbokki swimming in a spicy pork-and-potato base.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
