BBQ Garden’s “Oriental Cuisine” is the Best Cheap Korean Lunch West of the 405
When I visited Hungry Pocket for a falafel back in September, I remember staring lovingly at BBQ Garden- a cheap looking Asian fast food dive in the same strip mall across from Santa Monica College. I love me some cheap and dirty Asian food, but this place looked like it could go either way. The words “Oriental Cuisine” never inspire confidence, and to make things worse the menu had a strange mix of seemingly Korean and Japanese dishes (including sushi?) But when a Korean friend told me that it was probably the best fast food Korean place on the west side, that was all I needed to hear to head back.
