Went to the soft open with two other friends. Had their high end combo small size. It was perfect portions for 3 adults. Wagyu, rib eye, short rib marinaded and none. We sat near the front, with the smokeless grill setup. The owner was quite proud of his cocktails, we'll try that next time. The side dishes and soup were good. Great service, the waiter cooked all the meat while explaining each cut. The vibe was upscale and not smoke filled. I think good for friends or colleagues...read full review
We live in the neighborhood and went to the soft opening. Moses and Leon are so nice! The restaurant is beautiful. Most importantly, the portion sizes were very generous. We thought maybe the prices were high for the 1/2 portions but once we saw how much meat they gave us, we found the pricing to be fair for KBBQ. The sauces were delicious. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for KBBQ on the west side.
Incredible, premium kbbq. The best kbbq on the west side. Full stop. Walk don’t run. Yes, written by a Korean. No, not my uncle’s restaurant. This is not your budget bbq or AYCE. This is a high end delicious melt in your mouth high quality steak dinner. Do not expect budget prices. This was our splurge dinner and I don’t regret a single cent. Also, cocktails are incredible. Try the strawberry banana cocktail. And finally - super super kid friendly. Smokeless. Surprising....read full review

Hwa-On Korean Barbecue is a premium Korean barbecue restaurant on the Westside of LA. The decor and ambiance are worth mentioning, with well-designed and comfortable furniture, warm wood accents, golden utensils, and nice ambient lighting that make the space feel inviting and elevated, like dining as noble Korean royalty. The space is swanky, and the vibe is super cool with K-pop music.
The food is on a higher grade compared to budget end ayce kbbq places. The beef was delicious and cooked to perfection. The King Sejong was def delicious. The platters came with high quality meats and sides. The combo came with plenty of side dishes, meat, stew, steamed egg, and a couple king mushroom slices, which a party of 4 could be well satiated. The kimchi pancake was a good size and an enjoyable pairing with the tart pickled taste of the kimchi while eating with the meat. The combo also came with more basic spring onion pajeon. The non alcoholic yuzu ginger based drink is recommended.
The staff was so friendly and accommodating. A group of 13 was taken such good care of. The service was exceptional and attentive, welcoming, and really made the experience even better. The grills are very advanced with vents built in to suck the meat grilling smoke away. There is a dedicated bar upstairs and a rooftop bar opening up. This place stands on itself as the premier fine dining Korean BBQ experience on the West side.
