We decided to get some Kogi tacos before our Kings of Leon concert at the Great Western Forum. I've waited in line once at the Kogi truck, but since the Alibi Room in Culver City serves the menu in its bar, I wonder why anyone would wait in line and consume their tacos on the side of the street? I like to eat in the comforts of a restaurant/bar/home, alongside an alcoholic beverage. As such, Alibi Room is the ideal place for me.
The Alibi Room is located away from the busy stretch of Downtown Culver City. The interior includes a wraparound bar that takes up half the space, a couple couches and a patio.
I started with a glass of Pinot Gris. The food menu is limited. There are tacos, sliders, burrito, hot dog and quesadilla; all of which are Korean flavored.
Taro and lotus root chips to start. Crunchy and with the right amount of salt. I loved the little lotus roots; it made for a pretty presentation. Here's hoping that it's healthier than potato chips.
Overall, I enjoyed my meal at Alibi Room. The tacos were delicious, however I don't know how people have the patience to wait in line for almost an hour at the food truck. The tacos are good but they ain't THAT good, in my opinion. I'm just glad that they decided to offer Kogi in the comforts of a bar and with a short wait.
After our Kogi meal, we headed off to the concert. Awesome night filled with good music, some dancing and satisfying Korean nibbles.

Nice review! I like this place and it's great not having to wait 45+ minutes for Kogi. You must try the Korean-spiced fries, they're delicious.
