Sooda's induction grills and neon at Amazing Brentwood, where you cook bulgogi side by side and argue over the honey-butter fried chicken.
Sooda is the glossy, neon-washed end of the Korean BBQ spectrum, sitting inside Amazing Brentwood with induction grills built right into the tables. The room practically lights itself for whoever at your table is in charge of the camera, and the 4.5 rating says the food matches the aesthetics. You grill your own bulgogi and marinated meats side by side, which is a very good way to cover first-date silences without anyone having to try. The sleeper hit is the honey-butter fried chicken: the kind of order you start sharing politely and finish arguing over. Induction means none of the charcoal smoke that follows you home, which is either a feature or a bug depending on your attachment to smelling like a campfire. No reservations, so arrive a touch early, claim your grill, and let Brentwood's shops carry the evening wherever it wants to go.
