We've been to Wharo twice and each time were seated immediately. (Of course, we made reservations earlier in the week.) We had both kalbi and salmon, and various side dishes -- all were delicious and sufficient. The classed up interior wasn't a decisive feature for us: more important was an easy dining experience (even with a child along). Wharo lives up to our expectations.
Pros: Korean on the Westside! Low key location, fairly close to the beach if you want to go there first.
Cons: Parking is usually accessible, but drive early. Lincoln Blvd. can be tough.
