“The original Baekjeong location has now changed to Origin Korean BBQ. The meat quality is excellent, and the barbecue is expertly done. Service was quick, and the prices are fair. The only downside is the buckwheat noodles; they're too tough in texture . Overall, I'm satisfied and definitely plan to return.“

“I've been wanting to try different omakase places in the LA area for a while now, and stumbled upon Omakase by Ozen online - and I'm glad I came! Reservations were made quickly and easily via Yelp, and I love that I was able to change my reservation time without much of a hassle. My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate after I took the MCAT, so we were extremely hungry when we got here. I think this place might have had valet out front, but we opted to just find street parking in the neighborhood for a ~5 minute walk (which worked out afterwards since it let us walk off our food!). The actual restaurant is a very small and quaint place; we sat at a table instead of the bar but I thought the decorations were very cute. Service was very fast and attentive. They handed us a menu as soon as we came in, and we ordered the $130 omakase - which was a pretty good deal for the quality of the food and the whole experience. I do have to say that I was not full after the meal (so my boyfriend and I ended up getting more food afterwards at a different place), but I did enjoy my time here. Definitely worth a try if you're celebrating because of the food and the service, but I personally don't think I'd come back for the omakase.“

“After eating here for the first time, I told my brother (who I ate with) this is definitely the spot to bring the parents. A couple months later, we brought mom and dad. Enough said. Service and quality of food were really good. Highlights include marinated prime short rib, aged prime tenderloin, steamed egg, and Korean chimichurri sauce.“

“If you want good Filipino food from a family owned cozy staple in Filipino town then this is the place to go! Came by here during a visit to LA and it was recommended by some friends who live in the neighborhood and I was not disappointed at all. Here are some takeaways:EnvironmentThis is a small cozy restaurant that has a family style vibe to it. A great welcoming energy, we felt right at home. We stopped around midday during the week so it wasn't a lot of people there. Overall it was relaxing and warm - great for lunch with friends or if you're alone and want to grab a bite to eat.ServiceOur server happened to also be the daughter of the owners. She was great and was happy to share some of the history of the restaurant with me. She was very helpful with telling us about the food and giving us recommendations. Great service!Food and drinksWe had a little bit of everything - and all of it was great! Here's a run down of everything we had:MAMA LEAH'S COCONUT BEEF ADOBOANN'S CORNBREAD BIBINGKASTEAMED WHITE RICENOEL'S SMOKED GOUDA MACSAN PABLO PULLED PORKEverything was delicious. The coconut beef (amazing!) was great with the steamed white rice, the mac and cheese was tasty, the pulled pork had a lot of flavor and the cornbread was warm and sweet, but not too sweet. Again - all the food was great.OverallLovely family owned restaurant. So glad that we stopped by here. If i'm ever in LA again this will definitely be a place I'll visit again. Great food with a great story.“

“Be prepared to spend some extra cash for a lunch outing. The line is long so if you don’t like to wait come on one of the weekdays that they are open. The food is good extra rich so beware if you’re the sensitive stomach or heartburn type. So try the key lime pie or the banana pudding because they will run out and it’s delicious!Overall, definitely save this place in your “want to goes”“

“This place was awesome. First of all, Lena our waitress was so kind and willing to explain the menu to us as this was our first time. The food was delicious, I recommend getting a combo so you can try many different things. Not only was the food good but the experience was amazing as well. Lena cooked the meats on front of us (she cooked them perfectly) and you could add seasonings and sauces. Additionally, the sides are brought by ROBOTS. My little sister loved this and couldn't stop giggling every time a robot came by and dropped of some kimchi which was free with the combo. 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be coming back soon! Thank you Lena!“

“We dined here our first night in LA during Spring Break. For a family of 4, we ordered the Taste Of Parks BBQ. All the meats and aide dishes were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent. The wait staff is great at managing your grill so you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the food. I gave "Atmosphere" 4/5 stars because the inside can get rather loud. I would definitely come back here to eat!“

“Experienced a traditional Korean dinner. I want to acknowledge how exquisite the service is. My family and I felt so welcomed and cared for. We ordered the combo A which came with 3 meats of your choice, soybean stew and a drink. In addition, we ordered 2 of the cold noodles. The cold noodles come in large portions and is perfect for sharing! When we ordered 2, the staff was so kind to already divide the soup into 4 bowls and I still couldn't finish it lol. Very generous on the noodles. Pairs well with the mustard and vinegar they offer on the side. The combo A was very fitting and the quality of the meat did not disappoint! Though it may be pricey, it's worth every penny. I would recommend the short rib, brisket and pork belly. Overall, the dishes felt like home. Not too heavy on seasoning yet filled with flavor. I will be a returning customer!“

“The soup taste, quality, quantity, and side dishes including crab are definitely the best. However, I could be stressed because I was busy, but I felt bad when one of my aunts was unfriendly. Other servers brought it to me, but no matter what I asked for, they wouldn't give it to me... Still, this is the best soup in Koreatown.“

“One of the best Korean barbecues in LA the meat is great quality. There could be a little bit of weight because they don’t take reservations, but it’s totally worth it. you can get a drink while you wait for your table. We always go in groups and get the beef combo that comes with a soup. The Wagyu is also really great.Parking: Depending on time of day, you might find street parking with meters or free street parking. the plaza also has limited parking spots.“

“I go to pigya at least once or twice a month. The food is good. When it was newer restaurant, they would be attentive and nice. The filipina server who used to work there was friendly. But lately have noticed service is not so good. They were rushed. Connie works wells in managing the restaurant but needs to work on customer service. She is not a good server. We asked Connie for no onion to be bought out with the meat and she ignored the request this last time. ANOTHER server was doing everything in a hurry and rushed. They usually cook the veggies and put it on top, this guy just let the meat and veggies(mushrooms and sweet potato) get cooked more than usual. They blow torch the rice but the guy left it on the grill went to do something else and then came back to melt the cheese when rice was getting harder.“

“This is a must have every time I am in L.A.! The Khao Soi soup here is amazing and the fried dumplings are the best I’ve ever had! It’s a quaint little restaurant that gives a family vibe every time I visit. My first visit years ago was made special by Mrs. Kay, I was sad to hear that she was no longer working here during my last visit. The food is still very good, I would recommend stopping by if you are ever in the area.“

“Found this hidden gem do to a misunderstanding. Was looking for friend chicken and this place popped up on YELP. Well unfortunately no fried chicken. But we had the best bbq ribs. Tasty, falling off the bone the spicy bbq sauce was really good not really needed they were really well seasoned. My sides were greens and Mac and cheese all really good. Had to get an order of cornbread also good would've been better warm. Clean place with hand sanitizer on all the tables. No complaints, compliments to the chef.“

“Super amazing marinated short rib, even my friend who doesn't like meat liked it. If I ever went again that would be the only thing I buy. But it could be very pricey for the quality and quantity (we got course C and an extra order of marinated short rib + two steamed eggs and a japchae)- which is a major con for them vs other kbbqs around town. They did have so many side dishes that it couldn't fit the table!! I was really disappointed they stuffed my party of 6 in such a small table for 4 when the whole restaurant was basically empty at Thursday Lunch. The small table made the experience a bit underwhelming. Food was great though!“

“Wow! The best marinated pork ribs! Come on down to Jin Ju. It isn't an all you can eat spot, but you can't beat the quality. My friend and I decided to try the prime beef and the marinated pork ribs (which is their speciality). Both meats were very delicious. They pretty much cook your food for you. The beef was cut into nice cubes. They were cooked at a perfect medium rare. The prok ribs were also cut into pieces, as well. There was a good selection of 10 types of banchan: fishcake (eomuk bokkeum), sesame broccoli, kimchi, potato salad, cucumber kimchi (sigeumchi-namul), stir-fried glass noodles (japchae), korean spinach, pickled onions, bean sprouts (kongnamul), pancake (yachaejeon), and radish kimchi (kkakdugi) . And honestly, this spot has one of the better quality banchan sides. The japchae had so much flavor, and the potato salad was also good. I appreciated that they offered the pickled onions, which goes really well with the marinated pork. My friend was also excited that they had korean spinach, which most places don't have at all. We also ordered the red pepper paste soup. It was so good! Rick and full of flavor. There's enough seating for 2-6 people to each table. It's not too big of a spot, so if you're trying to get away from the long lined spots - this is the spot to be. Service is quick and friendly. There is free parking in the lot if you're lucky. If not, you can find free street parking.“

“It's a straightforward all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ joint with quick service and seating. While it may not be top-tier, it's definitely a fun experience if you're not too particular. However, parking is scarce and somewhat sketchy. I witnessed a couple of guys devouring food as if they were competing champions, and the server didn't seem to mind if they cleaned out the entire place.“

“Compared to a few years back this street food spot has gained a few more food stalls to neighbor it. There is now a bbq meet place, a salad and fresh foods place and a dessert one. I got three plates, one pad Thai, one pork fried rice and one of their new ground pork with egg dish. Pad Thai is good as always, fried rice was lacking flavor as before but they have seasoning for you to use. Their ground pork with egg was so good but holy crap it was spicy. It did have a good spice though I recommend it.“

“Shout out to the person working at Old Style Guitars who recommended this place. It’s walking distance from Gold Diggers and Hollywood Forever (both great concert venues), and honestly some of the best eggplant I’ve ever had.The menu is simple and straightforward, with one vegan/vegetarian option. The tofu and eggplant bowl was insanely delicious. Huge portions, very reasonable price, and piping hot and fresh.I walked there and ordered from the cashier, and it was a ten minute wait for food. You can order online in advance for pick up from their website, and it seems like they do a ton of delivery.They gave me napkins, a fork, and soy sauce and sriracha packets, but I didn’t need them because it was seasoned and flavored perfectly. The tofu was melt in your mouth soft, not chewy at all, my favorite way of eating it. The in house pickled veggies were so good, and balanced the flavors in the dish. There were cashews for a crunch, and some onions and bok choy, all on a bed of fluffy white rice.I know LA has a ton of places to eat but I would definitely come back just for this bowl.After the rest of my group saw and smelled what I was eating, they all went to go order from there themselves and agreed it was delicious.Vegetarian options: The menu is super simple and there’s one vegan bowl but it’s incredible and totally worth it.“

“We came here at around 8 o'clock on a Wednesday night, and we still had to queue up. The most exaggerating thing is that after we almost finished eating, it was already around 10 o'clock, and there was still a queue outside. This is enough to prove the popularity of this restaurant, and it turns out that it is really tasty. The quality of the beef here is really good, definitely not the ordinary AYCE, there are many choices, very tender and flavorful. My favorite is their marinated short rib, and brisket, must order! Another feature here is that the pot is made of stone instead of the traditional iron plate. It feels better to be heated and the roasted beef is also very tender.“

“Met with a long time college friend here for lunch and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing, the mala taboki was my favorite. My friend and I shared 6 Yubu, sushi roll, and a hand roll to go. Staff was very friendly and we were told our food will take 10-15 mins to prepare due to the delicate and meticulous nature of preparation and honestly didn't mind. Can't rush good quality meal! Space had ample parking, spacious and even accommodate wheelchair accessibility. You can tell the chef and team put a lot of of care into their food but also making sure all parties feel welcome King Yubu, the official King of LA“

Taco, burrito, and quesadilla You can put avocado beans and rice and cheese.“

“We were planning on going to lucilles for bbq but then it started raining and hubby said to search for a bbq spot near by and let me tell you im GLAD this place was so so good! We got there when it was almost closing so they only had pork ribs and potatoe salad so thats all we got but it was delicious. Ribs were fall of the bone and the sauce was amazing and potatoe salad had every right taste from sweet to softness. 10/10 reccomend and service was excellent too very friendly people.“

“Seoul Soul is a good KBBQ option with good quality. They have 3 menus and I would say upgrading to the middle level is definitely worth it. There’s a lot to choose from: beef, chicken, pork, seafood, etc. they have all sorts of cuts too. Their meat is pretty marbled and tender. If you can’t cook, the server can handle it. They also have a parking lot in the back but it gets full fast.Parking: They have a very small parking lot“

“We've been coming here for years and I think I've been to this spot more times than any other place in ktown! They basically have 3 items on the menu: Duck, Duck, or Duck. Pro tip: If it's your first time here, just get the basic duck slices and your banchan and here's why. Although the duck here is delicious, the highlight of the meal really comes at the end. Koreans make a big deal about duck fat and it's health benefits over other types of unhealthy fat. So as you're grilling your duck in the center of the table, they plug up the grill with a small piece of kimchi and let that golden clear duck fat pool up at the end of the grill. When you're done, she'll come out with a big bowl of korean red rice, dump it into that crystal clear duck fat along with all of your remaining banchan (make sure to leave enough or order more!) and make the best fried rice from your leftover duck fat, that you've ever eaten anywhere.... This is the way. So the 3 duck dishes are basically duck slices, duck strips, or spicy marinated duck. If you order the spicy duck, it messes up the grill and fat a little and the rice is not quite as good. Definitely try it on your second visit (and you will be back after your first) but keep it simple for your first time!“

“Cat robot servers, a self-serve bar, over 30 selections for Korean BBQ, and it's only $34.99 per person??! I think I may have just found my new favorite KBBQ spot and it's in Torrance!Waiting for the grill to get hot is like the most aggravating few seconds of KBBQ, does anyone else feel me on this?? But the fact that they have yummy apps like baked mussels (my fave!) ready to eat and banchans makes it worth the wait.They've got all your quintessential favorites like jiggly steamed egg and corn cheese, and all the toppings you need to make your perfect bite.Thanks for reading! ^-^“

“This is still my favorite place for cold noodle. I have been at this restaurant for at least 20 years now. It still tastes the same. I always order cold noodle and bulgogi. Compared to 20 years ago, they did expanded the place to fit more people. They still serve the same ban chan side dishes. Although they increased the prices, I still will come back. I love this place. Parking is hard to find when it gets crowded. So be aware.“

“Best thai place I had in awhile. Great value. I had the beef satay and my wife had the chicken satay. Beef satay is bomb. I recommend the cucumber salad over the papaya salad. It had a subway veggies type of taste. My wife is picky and ended up loving it. Be here soon again. 17 bucks average meal.“

“It was good value for money and had a pub-like atmosphere to enjoy a steak. I think it used to be the Hometown Buffet at Cerritos Town Center, but it was very spacious and the service was great! The portions are large, so men can choose between a steak and two side dishes, so women with smaller portions can order a smaller portion!I recommend this restaurant where you can eat for 4 people for around $100. However, the standard waiting time is one to two hours, and even between 5:00 and 5:30, I waited about 40 minutes to be seated.“

“Best Korean BBQ, charcoal really makes a difference. This place is pricey and is not all you can eat but it is fantastic. If cooking your own food intimidates you, no worries, they’re hustling staff will do it for you and help you out as needed. Set a new bar for us. Get the short ribs.“
“This is my first time trying Korean-Latin cuisine, which is so delicious! The owner suggested ordering the kalbi cheese fries which I'm glad that I ordered it! I got the rock combination plate and double cheeseburger as well! They have a self serve salad bar near the front which is convenient! The staff here so very friendly and it was a little empty at that time we came in so they were able to help us out! I loved how they put the posters around the store!“

“If you like a lot pepper on your moist brisket, then this place is for you. I spent over $70 on pulled pork and moist brisket. Super rich and fatty. Seasoned to the max. Almost too much. Nothing special to be honest. I felt like I had similar seasoned brisket before. The pickled onions and pickles are a nice break from the moist brisket. I wish the brisket had more smoke flavor. Would I be back? No, but the family who runs it were super nice and friendly“

If you're looking for atmosphere, they're trying, but it's a small space on a busy street, so "A" for effort. I would go again if I was in the area and wanted all I could eat meat. :)“

“Great Seafood BBQ! My friends and I came on a Saturday night. Not too busy since the restaurant is new. Great service and the food was very fresh. The servers are very friendly and attentive. You don't have to cook anything since the servers will do it for you. Ambiance wise, nothing special but I liked that it was not too noisy and we could talk and hear each other. They have a parking lot that is shared with another restaurant. We paid $2 for valet parking. Not too bad. Highly recommended!“
