Koreatown gets a new restaurant: The 8th Notch

A new traditional American spot has debuted in the neighborhood. The newcomer to Koreatown, called The 8th Notch, is located at 3500 Wilshire Blvd., Floor 2.

The 8th Notch serves up Southern comfort food, with menu items ranging from house-smoked brisket to house-smoked pulled pork to spicy fried chicken. It also offers beer and wine and has a daily happy hour.

The restaurant has already attracted fans thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of 41 reviews on Yelp.

B E X., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on April 13, wrote, "Their fried chicken sandwich may be the best one I've had in LA. It is big, juicy, spicy and bold. And their fries...holy moly. Obviously hand cut, crispy and perfectly seasoned with something that has a tiny hint of sweetness."

Yelper Theodore V. added, “Their menu is very unique with interesting twists like smoked lemonade instead of regular lemonade, for example. They even cook everything from scratch, including their sauces."

Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. The 8th Notch is open from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. on Monday-Wednesday, 11 a.m.–midnight on Thursday-Saturday and noon–8 p.m. on Sunday.
