About the Business
Specialties
The place to be is the Chapman Plaza (aka Chapman Market) at 6th and Kenmore. It was one of LA's first drive-in shopping centers, a glorious 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival building, and although the neighborhood has changed (it's now the middle of Koreatown), the building remains an architectural gem. On one side of the courtyard/parking lot, Toe Bang is a trendy, hardwood-and-matchstick-blind kind of place, with dim lighting, handsome wallpaper of Korean calligraphy, and poppy Korean/American top 40 music on the audio.Solid Korean pub food---nice barbecues (cooked in the kitchen), sautés and stews, bibimbap (rice with meat, vegetables and hot sauce in a large bowl) and, of course, drinks/alcohol such as soju(korean rice Wine) and beer. Also a great tap beer selection such as HeffenWeizzen, New Castle, Coors Light,etc. The outdoor patio is a nice place to snack and chat, and it provides a view of the rest of the Market including karaoke parlors and other restaurants and cafés.
History
Established in 1997.
A glorious 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival building, and although the neighborhood has changed (it's now the middle of Koreatown), the building remains an architectural gem. On one side of the courtyard/parking lot, Toe Bang sits as soon as you enter the valet. A beautiful view of the whole plaza from the patio where you can enjoy great food and drinks. Started in 1997 with an idea to bring Korea to America, the vibe was set and has been an established business with much popularity since.
