50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near East Los Angeles

“los de costilla uff 😋😋“

“If you need quick Mexican food, this is a great spot.

I got the sampler to go, and it was really tasty—well cooked with good flavors. Ordering was fast, perfect if you’re in a hurry.

I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu.“

“Bbq Pull Pork Sandwich With Potato Salad Was Delicious. I Will definitely be coming back to try the brisket sandwich next. 😊“

“I finally remembered to try this place. It didn't disappoint. Everything was made fresh to order. The veggies were crisp and tender. The shrimp were nice and plump. The Tom Yum was zesty and flaming.
It's a nice place for friends, family, or a casual date. It's not fancy. You order before you're seated.
The prices are just about the same as most Thai restaurants. Which bothered me a little since we had to stand in line to order.
But overall, it's a great place! It was yummy! It's was peaceful.“

“Esther was extremely helpful and generous. Our experience was equivalent to having our own personal waitress while the restaurant was packed. Esther’s professionalism and kindness made our experience fantastic.

The food was amazing and everything brought to our table was phenomenal!“

“Highly commendable service and absolutely stunning set menu! we went here for dinner last night for our Halloween date night! Their wagyu cuts are 100% top-grade and not just random "wagyu" that are below the marks. We tried their A5 and M9 meats, not to mention their salmon carpaccio that is to die for. Their sides are absolutely delicious and smart, one great example is their fried pork buns that is like a spin on soup dumplings. To top it off, you get premium ice cream in the end. Their salad is so good with yuzu and smokey salt, plus you get a chili mix too. They serve the meats fast plus your tablet menu is in front of you so you don't have to keep calling the staff to refill. I give them 9 stars! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“That brisket sandwich so good, I drove from the valley to get me one. I tried the Mac and cheese for the first time, not my favorite, because I’m a southern raised girl. We just do macaroni and cheese different. But
definitely will come back for that brisket sandwich! So tender and sooo flavorful“

“Had the Texas prime beef brisket sandwich. I’m from Texas and tastes like home. Definitely check this place out. Will be coming back for sure!!!“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“Meet quality really nice to me Good service!“

“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow“

“Stopped by for a quick meal after shopping and found this place. I was skeptical, because alot of places I've been to, the ribs were dry, but not this place. The ribs were very tender and full of flavor. The gentlemen at the counter was very personalble and friendly. Will stop by again if I'm in the area“

“I like the beef combo & definitely will be back again“

“Wait the food is so good. I wish my tummy could fit more food. The side dishes buffet bar is surprisingly good you have to practice restraint from filling yourself up with it. This place has all the dishes you can want from a Korean restaurant!“

“Absolutely amazing BBQ!!! Nothing was regular or ordinary. The brisket was so tender and tasty and the Blue Masa Cornbread was to die for! Melts in your mouth! And don’t forget the Cole Slaw which deserves capital letters!! The Mac and Cheese (not like any you’ve ever had!) was comped by our new friend who was our ordering coach and it stole the show!! This place is new and Jensen is a class act and his food is BBQ but kicked up a notch !! Congrats Jensen!!!“

“Awesome stuff quality fast perfect service“

“One of the BEST BBQ'S in Los Angeles!“

“The food was very delicious! The food we shared brought special nostalgic moments with our family together. It was my brother's first time to visit the US and the authentic Filipino food at Manila Inasal made this moment very special.“

“Food and service was amazing. Atmosphere rating doesn’t mean much as it’s a takeout spot. The fried cornbread balls were crispy and soft on inside. Brisket was tender and juicy. Loved the beans and potato salad. Drove up from San Diego and took a gamble on this spot and it was well worth it. No pics to add as we tore into it immediately. Also, for $40 it was a great deal.“

“Good service and experience for Korean BBQ.specially the rice paper loved by many diner.“

“I love coming to this place for their combination fried rice. The people tending the place are very friendly. They have other menu items that I would like to try, but I always get the rice because is easy to eat on the go and even cold it retains its flavor. I highly recommend this place.“

“Homemade kimchi, homemade stews, unlimited banchan stations ala Sizzler style, warm and sincere and attentive service, big comfy booths, and headache-free to park at (it's in a strip mall!) and get to compared to the dense traffic of neighboring Koreatown. Apparently this is an original, history-making spot way ahead of its time. And people may come for the all you can eat KBBQ, but straight up I come for the AYCE banchan and Korean dishes that feel like I'm back at home with mom.“

“Miss Gloria is wonderful and her staff is amazing! Some of the best brisket I’ve ever had, very tender and flavorful. Potato salad and Mac n cheese were very delicious as well. Miss Gloria is a sweetheart of a person; I had the pleasure of conversing with her about life and family, while my food was being prepared. Her golden tips on a happy marriage (just got married last year) will stay with me forever. I will be back on future trips to Pasadena!

Congratulations on 62 years of marriage!“

“Coconut beef adobo and cornbread bibingka are outstanding!“

“I went here for the first time on a Monday evening. The service was really good and on point on this day. Staff was always checking on us, always making sure our stove was clean or removing finished dishes. I got us the Deluxe meal. The spicy baby octopus was good. The gyōza dumplings and egg rolls were really good. They have sushi as well. Their menu can be accessed by QR code or you can ask for a physical menu.“

“Whenever we visit Los Angeles a night at Origin is a must! The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly and fast, and the food is to die for!“

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“If you’re chasing premium Korean BBQ in the heart of K-Town, this spot is one of the more elevated experiences in the neighborhood. 🇰🇷🔥 Jeong Yuk Jeom translates to “butcher shop” — and that’s exactly the vibe you get: hand-selected, dry-aged and wet-aged beef cuts cooked over charcoal that deliver rich flavor and juiciness worth savoring.

The restaurant’s interior is sleek and spacious, perfect for groups or date nights, with good ventilation so you don’t walk out smelling like a grill.

Upscale, flavorful, and memorable Korean BBQ in LA.
Would go again? Absolutely — especially for the dry-aged beef and unique dishes you don’t find everywhere. 🍷🥩“

“Delicious all you can eat Korean barbecue!! Will be back!“

“Dae Sung Ro is a really great spot for authentic Korean BBQ and hotpot. The place feels clean and modern, and the staff were friendly and attentive.

The BBQ meats were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly at the table. We all loved the Sundubu and the corn cheese there. Everything felt authentic and well-prepared.

Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re craving real Korean BBQ. I’d definitely go back.“

“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.👍🏻“

“First time here my family like it especially unlimited brisket“

“weeks ago i was scrolling through and reading posts in review just like you're doing now, i had no intention of investing a penny in Bitcoin platform. i just enjoyed reading testimonies of different people talking about Mrs. Olivia Ryan trading platform, it all seem like a play, I took a bold step to invest with Mrs Olivia who i've read so much good reports about. I invested with $5000 and in seven (7) working days I received my profit of $27,500 and I keep reinvesting and my… See more“

“We came here 2 days back to back and was definitely not disappointed the first day we just wanted to try the place out and ordered the pork belly sliders and a brisket Mac n cheese. Both were amazing but… the next morning we came to get brunch and ordered the chili verde breakfast burrito along with the tri tip breakfast bowl and I must say that had to be the best breakfast burrito I have ever had! Plus the sauce with the salsa they give you for that bowl was delicious!!! I’m just upset that the brunch is not year around“

“Great kbbq place with fresh ingredients and a wide variety of side dishes. They don’t have AYCE here, only combinations — I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of food for the one we got. The kimchi fried rice was good, and the meats were all very fresh and tasted delicious with the accompanying sauces. The servers were also more involved in the meat grilling, even for those of us who had experience kbbq before. They also had fun robots around to bring out and take away dishes. We made reservations, which I’d recommend as it was pretty crowded when we went.“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“Absolutely delicious! I decided to try this place today and I'm immediately reviewing to get people to support this local gem. I had the tofu vegetable combo plate and it was tasty as hell. The tofu was soft, the veggies had the perfect bite, and the brown sauce was well seasoned. The entire dish was warm and light enough that I almost cleaned my plate despite it being so satisfying. I'm happy I was able to bring some home for later and will be going back regularly now!“

“Masters bbq
This place says they’re the masters of barbecue. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. They grill and make everything to order and I got their lamb chops plate, pastrami sando, and wagyu beef shawarma to try. They even gave me and my grandma these Armenian drinks we’ve never tried. I tried their cherry one which tasted like real and not artificial cherry juice. My grandma tried this like mango lemon soda and said it was refreshing. But anyways, The lamb chops were drizzled with a sweet lightly acidic balsamic glaze, weren’t gamey, and had good grill flaves. It also came with a bright, cilantroy tabouleh salad, a bit hard rice, fresh tomatoes and some pickles. The pastrami sando came with savory umami grilled pastrami, nuttty lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and creamy white sauce all on a crispity crunchity panini pressed bread. The wagyu shawarma was my fave and had a crispity crunchity lavash, plenty of tender meaty meat, juicy tomato, nutty lettuce, crunchy pickles, and had some more of that creamy sauce. They also came with some crunchy tangy pickled cabbage and side sauces that paired really well with everything. The green one was bright and cilantory while the white one was creamy and garlicy. Everything tasted pretty quality and fresh. Overall this place is lowkey pretty good.

Lamb chops plate $25
Wagyu beef shawarma $20
Pastrami sandwich $18“

“Summary:
- When you get a lil twist in affordable Korean BBQ, this is what you get. Get the miso soup, it’s got a kick to it
Pro:
- Good value for the price
- Very big portion. I like they let you cut however you wanna cut it
- Super good + fast service. Dude’s fast as lightning
- Variety of side dish, and if you get second round side dish it’s a lot more too
- I like how they provide lots of onions and jalapeños
Con:
- parking lot environment is kinda scary during afternoon already
- Most meat is more on the sweeter tone, it can get a little bit much afterwards
- I’d say don’t get the intestine“

“Best, the best , Korean bbq in LA… Cali, USA! First time bbq in K town reminded me of the bbq I had in Soowon South Korea- the headquarters of korean bbq. Generous too: 1 order was enough for 2 people, came with a salad, soup and panchan.“

“This place also has a long history in Koreatown. The food is impeccable.
The prices have gone up, but if you're craving dongchimi noodles and meat,
this is the place to go. The meat is all delicious, but the prices have gone up significantly compared to before, so you'll have to settle for beef tongue or Gilmok Gui. It's a place you'll return to for the taste.“

“Great BBQ Food and Entertainment“

“Unfortunately, I can never try this place because I don’t live locally and I always try to call them to find out even if there’s any parking because when I go on Google Earth, it’s impossible to see the restaurant and not sure where to park also, I want to make sure that they’re open because sometimes businesses say they are and then they are closed for whatever reason I’m trying to call them day after day, but there are no phone numbers. It’s not a very smart business move because I feel like they are probably losing many business like people like myself. I wanna try it.“

“I've been in Los Angeles California for over 40 years. This one of the far most the most delicious soulfood i have had in years. Gave me a Lil taste of home. I'm sure other dishes are as delicious .“

“I had the beef rib. I pulled the bone out myself… no muscles needed just pull and eat the goodness. Hubby had the brisket. We both were full and happy with leftovers 😋😋😋👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️“
