A great Korean meal must always have one prominent feature: great banchan. Banchan is the foundation of the Korean meal, and it's the perfect expression of Korean sensibility and seasonality. Banchan is a spread of vegetables, meats, and small plates that are met to whet the appetite and also vary the meal. In this episode of K-Town, host Matthew Kang goes to Jun Won, where he meets owner Jung Ye Jun and learns how they make banchan for their restaurant in Los Angeles, and also their standalone banchan store

Thanks for including where she's from but it would be nice to know where in Korea that is. Also, if that makes a difference. There are some regions in S Korea that are known for amazing cooks. The women are highly sought after as wives because of how well they cook. I only know the bare minimum from my omma. She's from Seoul and she says that a LOT of Korean immigrants from Korea here in the states are not from Seoul. Most people only know of Seoul here. So it would be cool to highlight other regions in Korea. Like I hear Busan has amazing seafood dishes because it's along the coast that's across from Japan. Since the show is all about Korean food, it would be interesting to learn more about Korea too. Otherwise, you'll probably run out of material really quickly.

I love this guy, because he is proud of his ethnic heritage. With all the racial hatred and tension going on in this country, we need more of people like him, who is proud of their ethnic heritage. This show is called K-Town btw, standing for KOREA Town, not Kentucky Town or whatever you were thinking of. Click it if you are interested in Korean cuisine, if not, I hope you can find other cuisines that can expand your food experience other than eating the same old stuff every day.

I'm an African American female who discovered Korean food 8 years ago and I am so addicted. I learned how to make a very small selection of the dishes thanks to wonderful Korean youtubers. However, I would so love to have access to this lady's banchan facility. That would be a dream come true.

I'm vegan and I make and enjoy all of the Korean food that you do! That was an inconsiderate thing to say. I'm vegan and I make and enjoy all of the Korean food that you do! That was an inconsiderate thing to say. For me a few bhanjan and a bowl of hot rice is a perfect meal!

I love a banchan and I love this guy's videos on Korean food. Can you guys do some videos on Korean hot spots in Orange County? I'm too lazy too drive to LA and I hate the traffic to get there. Thank you in advance Eater.

Mr. Kang is great at talking about food without describing the flavors in any way. Everything is fresh, great, delicious, and perfectly done, but what does it taste like?

Ohhh, how I miss L A! I would love to go to her little shop and buy a little of everything! She seems like a lot of fun, too! (Why? Because it's delicious! Cracked me up)

Great but awesome if we found out what makes one Banchan better than the next at other restaurants + human touch piece about her immigrant stories. Just ideas

One of my friends tried to visit this place when they were passing thru LA; its closed down now. The owners decided to focus more on the main restaurant.
