What people say, in short
Taylor's draws strong support for an old-school steak dinner without the splurge associated with LA's higher-end steakhouses. Diners who specify an outlet repeatedly name Koreatown. Diners praise the London broil and culotte, and several advise choosing a downstairs booth. The qualification is the steak itself: some find the cuts tough or merely fine, even while enjoying the room and drinks. It is a stronger consensus pick for atmosphere and value than an uncontested choice for LA's finest steak.
