Love Hour

Started by Michael Pak and Duy Nguyen as a smashburger pop-up, Love Hour became a Smorgasburg regular before moving into a Koreatown beer bar's old space, keeping its neon sign and takeout window. The team behind Liu's Cafe took it over and added a marble bar with orb lights, a disco ball over the DJ booth, a photobooth, and a patio with TVs. The smashburger stacks from a single patty up to ten, crowned with cheese, pickle and onion. Seasoned fries come in flavors like BBQ and garlic-parmesan, alongside dishes like ceviche and steak frites.
