- RRachaelLos Angeles •3 reviews5.0Dined on 14 Sept 2026I was honestly blown away the first time I came to Gavin. The food was on a completely different level from anything I’d tried before. Everything was so fresh, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully presented. Even the way everything was set up was impressive. I’ve been a regular ever since. I live about an hour away, but I’ve actually driven here twice in the same week because I just couldn’t stay away. This is easily one of the best restaurants in California. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I honestly wish I could come here every day. It’s definitely a little pricey, but it’s worth every penny. If you’re looking for an amazing Korean restaurant, this place is absolutely worth the drive. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this place earn a Michelin star someday. It’s that good. Definitely a must-try!More infoGabin Korean Grill$$$$• Korean• Koreatown•4.8
