An offshoot of the original 풍무 양꼬치전문점 on Olympic Boulevard. The name of this new restaurant is very easy to remember — it’s Feng Mao 2, as in Two.
GRAND OPENING: April 19, 2010
Lamb Kebab? Their specialty is mutton on skewers!
Nothing morbid about associating the meat you’re eating with cute sheep.
I did go inside but the servers rudely told me to stop taking pictures even after I had obtained permission from their higher-up. I suppose they couldn’t understand our communication in English in front of them and he didn’t bother telling them in Korean.
As with most “grand” openings of Koreatown establishments, today was more like a soft open. I saw them still screwing on fixtures in the morning and even at six in the evening when I dropped by again, they were still busy arranging things inside even as there was already one table with two ajumma diners.
I recommend you bring a Korean speaker with you or have loads of patience communicating with the servers. Loads of patience. They kept insisting that they close at 12 pm, among other things.
Business card says 생일 파티 환영, 예약 필수 — birthday parties are welcome… reservations are necessary.

Posted in January on the demise of the million-dollar Mr. Coffee. Well, another shocker today. I was walking along Western Avenue towards 6th Street when I chanced upon…
The sight of their very first day open under new management!!!
Looks empty, but I did see two lady patrons in a corner later on.
Must drop by again soon to take more pics and ask for their phone number!

It’s not in a pretty neighborhood, but that is what makes it an oasis.
Banchan a la Carte on Western Avenue
Banchan a la Carte is known for ready-to-go banchan (Korean side dishes) that’s mainly prepared with natural or organic ingredients. They also have pasta and other simple Western and Korean meals to go. Spotted recently: plastic-packed nurungji (scorched rice)!
