🦞 DAY 281 OF BIG BACK ACTIVITIES 🥩

POV: You came for Korean BBQ but ended up in a lobster buffet. 😂 TGI Korean BBQ in Koreatown is serving up UNLIMITED steamed lobster tails on their luxury AYCE menu, along with 50+ other items!

The lobster tails were fresh, plump, and made to order, while the meats were beautifully marbled and seasoned so well they barely needed any sauce. From wagyu short rib to giant beef ribs, this feast had me questioning whether I was a foodie or a professional competitive eater. 💀🐄

🍽️ Everything we ordered:
🦞 Steamed Lobster Tails
🥩 Wagyu Prime Boneless Short Rib
🦆 Premium Sliced Duck
🍖 Giant Beef Rib
🥩 Angus Marinated LA Galbi
🥩 Angus Prime Brisket
👅 Premium Beef Tongue
🥚 Steamed Egg
🍲 Beef Short Rib Soup

The steamed egg was fluffy, and the beef short rib soup was the perfect comforting side to balance out all that meat!

📍 TGI Korean BBQ — 2585 W Olympic Blvd, 2nd Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90006

🦞 Now tell me… HOW MANY LOBSTER TAILS DO YOU THINK I ATE? Drop your guesses below! 👇

🌮 BIG BACK ACTIVITIES DAY 279: BAJA MAR TACO 🌮

Taco Tuesday? Nah, we’re doing taco MONDAY through Wednesday because my big back activities don’t take days off 😂🔥

📍 Baja Mar Taco — 2620 W Valley Blvd, Alhambra, CA 91803

🌮 $2 tacos Monday–Wednesday
🌯 $8 burritos every Thursday

I got the shrimp tacos loaded with cabbage, pico de gallo, and crema. The shrimp was crispy, juicy, and meaty, and the crema brought everything together with their spicy red sauce. 🤤

🌶️ BIG BACK WARNING: Ask for one of their peppers if you dare! I’m not sure if it was the pepper or the red sauce, but my mouth was fighting for its life. 🥵😂

Save this spot for your next taco craving and take advantage of those weekday deals!

🍚 Day 278 of Big Back Activities: Otomisan 🇯🇵

One of the last Japanese restaurants in Boyle Heights, Otomisan is serving up comforting, home-cooked Japanese dishes that hit the spot! 🥹🍱

I ordered the oyakodon 🍳 with chicken, egg, and rice packed with flavor, plus a combo meal with pork cutlet and chicken teriyaki. Both meats came in HUGE portions, and even with my big back energy, I couldn’t finish everything! 😂 The flavors were delicious, and the entire meal felt like a warm hug in food form. ❤️

If you’re craving a comforting Japanese meal with generous portions, add Otomisan to your list!

POV: You found 50% off xiao long bao and suddenly dim sum for two sounds like a financial decision you can get behind. 😂💸

Korean BBQ, a backyard-style patio, AND cheese fondue? 👀 Say less. 🥩🧀

Welcome to day 274 of my big back activities! 😂

Mun Patio in Koreatown is a dog-friendly outdoor KBBQ spot, and fun fact: ATEEZ loves coming here when they’re in LA! 👀 So obviously, I had to see what the hype was about.

We ordered the Mun Feast, which comes with:
🥩 Ribeye
🥩 Seasoned hanging tender
🥩 Marinated boneless short rib
🥓 Pork belly
🥓 Pork jowl
🧀 Cheese fondue
🍜 Japchae
🍲 Mun stew
🍄 Mushrooms

The meats are cooked in the kitchen and brought out on a grill to keep warm, so you can focus on the most important part: EATING. 😂 The ribeye, short rib and hanging tender were juicy and well seasoned, while the pork jowl and belly had a great texture.

And PLEASE use that cheese fondue. Dip your meats in it—it’s worth it. 🤤

📍 Mun Patio — 3519 W 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90020

🕐 Hours:
Mon–Thu: 5 PM–12 AM
Fri: 5 PM–1 AM
Sat: 11:30 AM–4 PM & 5 PM–1 AM
Sun: 11:30 AM–4 PM & 5 PM–12 AM

Add this to your KBBQ list for your next LA food adventure!

If you’re a fan of Chinese bakeries but prefer your bread fluffy, pillowy, and not overly sweet, add Momo Bakery to your list! 👀

🍧 DAY 272: Big Back Activities 🍧

Late-night Cantonese dessert run? Say less. 😂

Checked out Makkee in San Gabriel and ordered a little bit of everything:

🍉 Watermelon Coconut Qing Bu Liang
🥥 Taro Coconut Sago
🥭 Mango Pomelo Sago
🍠 Taro Black Sticky Rice

Everything was light and not overly sweet, which made it way too easy to finish everything. 😭 My favorite was the taro coconut sago—the tapioca, taro paste, taro chunks, and sweet potato mochi were such a good combo!

If you’re craving a late-night sweet treat, add Makkee to your list!
