This LA Koreatown vlog is basically me trying to maximize one full day in Los Angeles—weather, palm trees, and (most importantly) Korean food. After a quick power nap post-rental pick-up (the journey was exhausting but fun), Tommy and I headed straight to Master Ha, because yes… I’m embarrassed but not ashamed to say the raw marinated crab was the main reason this trip happened. I got the medium raw marinated crab, Tommy got the combo, and between the side dishes, the shrimp, the egg, and even the miso soup with crab legs, it was such a satisfying K-food moment. The highlight is always the body—mixing the rice with the crab meat until you feel like a crab (worth it). From there, we did cute café stops (Camel Coffee on Sunset was adorable—they write your name and their signature drinks were genuinely good, even if the size felt small for the price). I also shared how wild it is seeing how wide and historic LA Koreatown feels—Korean signs everywhere, and you can tell it’s an OG immigrant hub with so many Korean-owned businesses. We ended the day at Santa Monica for sunset vibes (not my favorite SoCal beach, but I’m forever a beach gal), walked the pier, got churros because I suddenly “could” eat again, and then completely crashed at the hotel.
