“Tranquil spot with various omakase options. Came here with my family for an early dinner and made a reservation online beforehand. We opted for the Sushi Bar Omakase for $109 which came with 8 courses (including dessert). A couple of courses had multiple pieces, and we left very full. The blue crab hand roll was my favorite part; it was huge, hot, and the sauce that accompanied it was delicious. The fish was super fresh and the pieces kept coming. It was fun to watch them being prepared right in front of us at the bar (there are table seats as well). We enjoyed our meal and I would recommend this for special occasions or a way to treat yourself.“

“Great qualities of meat selection and a bunch of other types of excellent qualities of food. Definitely a place to go to celebrate and for special occasions. The beef, especially the galbi, the shrimp, takoyaki, and everything is fantastic. We can grab most of the food and the premium food came out very fast. Will definitely come back.“

“Love this place! The food is very authentic and high quality meat. The servers are also very tentative. We ordered the small beef combo. The soup at the end is very tasty but we are way too full. It can serve at least 3-4 ppl. Def recommended!“

“Incredible Service and High-Quality KBBQ - A Must-Visit Gem!
I am absolutely blown away by our experience here and honestly can't understand why this place wasn't packed on a Sunday afternoon. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was on a completely different level from any other Korean BBQ restaurant I've visited.
We were greeted by the owner as soon as we arrived, and after mentioning it was our first time, he gave us a personal tour of his establishment. The service from both the owner and the staff remained incredibly attentive throughout our entire meal; we always felt catered to. In a move that truly sets them apart, they cook the meat for you at your table! The owner even personally checked on us, teaching us the traditional way to eat with lettuce wraps (ssam) and encouraging us to use all the different condiments and sides for the full Korean experience.
The restaurant operates with a self-serve buffet for all the sides and raw meat, allowing you to get as much as you want. We chose the $45 option, which I highly recommend. The meat was exceptionally high-quality, and the boneless rib BBQ was a definite 10/10. For this level of service and food quality, the pricing is very fair and feels like a bargain.
The ambiance adds to the charm. The restaurant opened in 1992, and stepping inside feels like traveling through time. The vintage vibe is well-preserved and adds a layer of authenticity to the meal.
I will be back in a heartbeat. This isn't just a great meal; it's a warm and welcoming experience provided by an owner who is clearly passionate about his restaurant and his customers. Highly recommended!“

“It's down and dirty, proletariat BBQ at its finest. THAT's the secret weapon. Simplicity of design and meats that are properly seasoned, then smoked to perfection, with sauce that's on-point. I grew up eating BBQ. This place rocks.“

“The food is fire! The service is mediocre, and the atmosphere is trash (literally). There was a city trash can right outside the restaurant door overfilled with garage and reeking of piss. As for inside of the restaurant, it is very small and crammed. You’re almost standing on top of other people as you wait in line to order or wait for your food to be ready.
As for the food… wow!! 10 out of 10. I ordered the Koren fried chicken (sweet & spicy) and a side of steamed rice. I cannot wait to go back and order this again. I killed the entire meal and did not leave anything behind. My wife ordered the Spicy Mayo Chicken bowl and the Fried Chicken Dumplings. The portion size was huge! She could not finish it. The spicy sauce was too spicy and overpowered the flavor of the chicken, rice, and veggies. Rating this bowl a 4 out of 10 on the spicy overkill.
The prices here are AMAZING! We only spent $25 for our food, drove to Manhattan beach, and enjoyed it while watching the sunset. Our food was still hot after the 35 min drive.“

“Our favorite (non AYCE) Korean bbq (thanks to our friend Heny for the recommendation) Great quality of meat, great service, and great ambiance. So many other options if you’re not feeling Korean Bbq, we like to order their soup and spicy cold noodle. And we love that it’s located in our favorite Madang plaza in Ktown.“

“I live in Lancaster && I don’t mind the driving to come and eat here when I am craving it; IS WELL WORTH IT!!! To be a fast food spot the food is super delicious, very fresh and well cook on the spot. The staff is always in a good mood and always suggesting us to try different sauces. Now that they added pineapple to their selection I am loving it even more. Keep the great Customer Service up, that’s a big Plus.

“New sprawling kbbq place that is always busy which is a good thing. They have all of the favs like brisket, pork belly, finger rib meat. All the cuts are great quality. Expect to wait for a while if on a weekend night. Service gets slow if there are a lot of people. They will also help you cook your food but be expected to cook yourself.“

“What a gem! Passing thru Reseda and HAD to stop to try a delicious spot I had heard about from valley lifer friends. Holy moly this place did not disappoint! So friggin good. Teriyaki was on point, rice done perf, fresh fruit slices, salad was refreshing too. Totally perfect meal. We ate in store but I would not hesitate to do so again. It has a very welcoming vibe inside, fresh juices everywhere. Good friendly staff too, kept checking on us to see if we wanted anything else. Will be back soon.“

“I accidentally went to this place. The best accident I made with food decisions, their food is great, the chicken was juicy and tender, the flavor of the teriyaki was perfect, not too sweet. The amount of food they give is enough for two servings and the greatest part, their prices are shocking I got two meals for four servings under $20. And last the workers were very pleasant.“

“I’m visiting a new area and I took a chance and ordered from DoorDash. I ordered a half a rack of ribs and even though they came very odd looking there was an extremely healthy portion. (There were not a lot of rib bones, but a lot of the bottom portion of the spare ribs, but I did not mind because it was a generous serving) The barbecue sauce was outstanding and all of the side dishes were delicious. They were running a two for one on some of the sides so I got a ton of food.“

“Ribs and chocolate cake, and sweet smashed potatoes and mac n cheese were superb. As was the tri tip salad. Service was the best. I wish I could teach ALL restaurants how to make regular mashed potatoes, especially if they aren't serving gravy. Never the less, 5 stars.“

“The best AYCE Korean bbq restaurant. Meat quality is top-notch. They grill the meat for you but still allow you to enjoy the food at your own speed. I tried almost every meat and my favorite is the marinated beef rib with bone. It melted in my mouth. I love it and will come back.👍🏻“

“Tonight we were blessed by the presence of Royce 🙏 He greeted us with care and was super nice. We purchased the Ahgassi combo and everything was super delicious because it was cooked well by Royce. We also ordered the Dae Gopchang and the Yook Hwe (raw meat) which were also delicious. The meat was well attended to and the atmosphere was very chill. The music playing in the background was great because the playlist was FIRE 🎶🔥 If you want a good experience at this restaurant, you should definitely request Royce to cook for you! He made our first dinner in Los Angeles an unforgettable one! 🫶“

“I went to CheongGiWa with my family of four and ordered raw sirloin, raw galbi, and cold noodles. Ssam vegetables and various Korean side dishes were served as basic, and all the food we ordered was delicious. Both the owner and the staff were kind, and the atmosphere was bright and good because it was remodeled.“

“I’ve been hearing about this place a lot recently — it’s basically Korean BBQ but with seafood. Came on a weekday with a group of 8, and while it’s usually busy, we grabbed a table in the back patio so we didn’t have to wait too long.
We went with the Captain Set and the Crew Set. Both came with banchan and cold Korean noodles, which were super refreshing alongside all the grilled seafood. Everything is cooked over coals, which gives it a nice smoky flavor that really brings the seafood to life. I even tried hagfish for the first time — definitely unique, but glad I gave it a shot.
Price-wise, it feels a little high for what you get. At the end of the day it’s just seafood, so it didn’t really fill me up the same way a KBBQ set would. But the quality was good, and I liked that the meal finished with a hot noodle soup — comforting and a nice way to end the spread.
Overall, it’s a fun spot to check out with friends if you’re into grilled seafood and want something different from the usual KBBQ routine.“

“Definitely a bit of a hole-in-the-wall—not the nicest or cleanest place, but the food is delicious and very affordable. It used to be $13.99 for all-you-can-eat before the pandemic, and you didn’t have to pay upfront, which was nice. Be prepared for a long wait to be seated, but the staff is friendly and attentive, which makes up for it.“

“Super tasty! King Yubu is a little hidden gem kind of place. Really delicious Korean style sushi. Think like little pockets with all kinds of fillings on rice. I got the Signature King Yubu, the spicy pork belly and the unagi Yubu with a spicy tuna and tempura sushi roll. All really good we also tried the kimchi loaded fries really big portion definitely a shareable portion. It was corn cheese with kimchi on the seasoned fries you can get different toppings like fried chicken or bulgogi but just the fries by themselves were super good so we went without all the extra. Definitely coming back to try the other options on the menu looks like new updates and ideas coming to the menu all the time. Great job chef.“

“Fun experience. This is a no frills Korean restaurant- you have to get up and get your own water and side dishes. But the meat comes quickly when you order it and the staff was very good in changing our grill whenever we wanted. The brisket and shrimp are the best.“

“This is the K town classic. It first opened in 1982. Since then it became the place to get authentic Korean BBQ and signature dongchimi noodle. I still remember the first time I tried their noodle and I was so blown away. When it comes to dongchimi noodles, they are on the top tier.“
