50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near East Los Angeles

“Been meaning to hit this place, but always pass them up. Glad I stopped by, they got some good eats here. Tried the Vamipro with bistec and potato. Nice and crispy hand made tortilla. Potatos were healthy cut pieces and soft. Also had the Guisado sampler and man they are not shy with the servings. I definitely recommend the sampler plate if you are wanting to try the different options of guisados. For this location early is better as they do sell out of items on the early side. They also have restaurant where you can get there goods as well.“

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

“We tried this Thai restaurant for the first time, and our experience was amazing! The taste and quality of the food were excellent. Our favorite, the Tom Yum Soup, was absolutely delicious. We also tried the Spicy Basil Clams for the first time, and they were incredibly flavorful and mouthwatering. Overall, it’s a great restaurant if you enjoy authentic Thai food. We would definitely visit again!“

“los de costilla uff 😋😋“

“I highly recommend this restaurant. Great food and great service.“

“Kantutan to the max🤣🤣 see photo“

“Such a pleasant place with excellent customer service and delicious food. I visited for the first time because I was craving barbecue, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. I recommended it to all my friends and family. If you're nearby Glendale, it's absolutely my favorite spot right now. If I could, I'd give it 1000 stars. I enjoy every bite of their food.“

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

“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! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

“Despite accidentally making reservations online for the following evening, the gentleman behind the entry table found a way for my family of 4 to enjoy a top notch Korean BBQ dinner. We were so grateful! The food was excellent and service first rate. Highly recommended!!“

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

“Coconut beef adobo and cornbread bibingka are outstanding!“

“The best quality Korean BBQ I've ever had! We had the butcher's pride 1 and it was the perfect amount of food for two people. It includes short ribs, finger meat, wagyu, and marinated short ribs. There are also numerous side dishes from kimchi to green onion jeon. You may also ask for rice if you'd like some to go with the marinaded short ribs.

With tax and tips, we ended up paying about $100 per person. Is it on the pricey end? Yes. Is it overpriced? Slightly. Is it a good food experience? It was. Would I come back again? Depends on who I'm with.“

“This might not be a huge place, but the quality of the food. Every single item we tried, the BRISKET is 100/10, the sausage, the beans, the mac n cheese, everything on the menu is simply to lick your fingers. Please do go and you'll have one of the best BBQ you will ever find in the LA area, without a doubt.“

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

“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.👍🏻“

“Amazing experience at Corner Place! I forgot to ask for our server’s name, but all of the ajummas (아줌마) working there were incredibly kind and welcoming. The food was amazing and there was SO much of it!

Our server kept taking care of us throughout meal, bringing us more food, cutting things for us, and getting everything ready so we could just eat and enjoy. It really felt like being taken care of by Korean aunties. 😂❤“

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

“The OG. the tastiest. the smokiest. the best. don't wear your favorite new sweater. ladies tie your hair back. and get down.“

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

“great food. great experience and quality of meat“

“For the quality, taste, price, and portions, you can’t find a lot of places better than Soowon Galbi. We got the Combo D (Unseasoned Prime Short Rib, Soowon Galbi, Prime Rib Eye Steak, Kkot Sal, Joo Mul Luk, Chadol, Bulgogi), which was filling even for 7 people! I usually don’t love non-marinated meats in KBBQ but tell me why the ones here were so tasty.

The servers were friendly and cooked the meats very nicely for us. I liked the Seafood Pancake, Galbitang, and complementary soups, though the Jap Chae was not my favorite. They were very generous with the rice, too.“

“Joshua was our server tonight and he was AMAZING! My friend and I came in for dinner pretty late, around 9–10 PM, and he still made the whole experience feel so welcoming and special. He was super polite, friendly, attentive, and he cooked everything perfectly for us. The food was delicious and the service honestly made the night even better.

Also, I have to mention this because it made me smile the entire time 😂 Josh totally reminded me of Chrollo from Hunter x Hunter, which was such a fun bonus.

Thank you, Josh, for taking such good care of us! He definitely deserves recognition (and a raise 😉) because service like this really makes people want to come back. 10/10 experience! ❤️ Rawrrrr!“

“This place is perfect if you want to get some great food and go. Not set up for sit and eat, but they had I’m eating area outside with some tables and chairs. The hot barbecue sauce, I would call Pasadena hot, but amazing flavor. Glad I did not have to drive all the way to LA to get this food. The lady at the counter, I wish I got her name, but she was amazingly sweet, and rolled with my silly jokes.“

“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!!!“

“The owner is amazing and will make sure your experience is top notch. For AYCE they offer more than any other place in ktown I have been too. I mean they have a free ramen bar included in all you can eat for $38! Meats are a notch above other places but the variety of what you can choose is what sells. Awesome decor, feels old school Korean.“

“Best BBQ place in town! We’ve been coming here almost every week, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The service is excellent too — everyone is friendly, welcoming, and always takes great care of us. Definitely one of our favorite spots. Highly recommend!“

“Everything about this place is good....... Dogs are not welcome.,service animals too....
They said no dogs at 1st,then I stated she is service animal.

Then he grilled me on type of service she provides, we answered his demands,but still didn't want us to have the service animal.
We finally got to eat. But after about 30 minutes of waiting, then they stuck us in the back corner, but he clearly did not want the dog in the building.

So bring your service animals here. But be prepared for a verbal confrontation and questioning.“

“I'm hooked on this place! The meat is tender NEVER over smoked or tough. The Fried cornbread balls(deep fried buttery goodness with a touch of sweet) delicious! I'm on my way now Vroooooom 🚗. Sides are good beans ,mac, just 😋 Yum. See you in 30! Brisket and Ribs!“

“First time here and me and my husband loved it! We tried the beef and chicken teriyaki plate and a chicken and beef fried rice. Both were very good. I also loved that the music that was playing at the time was like a Justin Bieber Pandora radio station lol“

“We were greeted at the door, and given complimentary miso soup with our order. We got six different Yubu (buy five get one free). They were FANTASTIC. The torched salmon was a little overcooked, so it was a little fishy, but overall they were very good. Bulgogi and King Yubu were overall favorites.“

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

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“I got the tasajo which was already good but omg the moronga was DELICIOUS. I am usually not a fan of blood sausages or blood related food but this was so smooth, tender, savory and flavorful. If I didn’t already know it was a blood sausage I would have never guessed. The serving is huge if you eat standard servings you could easily split a portion but we got greedy.

Highly recommended just for the fact that they changed my mind about blood sausage.

The inside is very cute and aesthetic.“

“Went today because we’d heard this place has amazing food. There’s a reason they’re called “Top Restaurant.” Not only is the food delicious and fresh, but the people we met there were so kind and welcoming. Must-try spot if you’re in Pasadena!“

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“This is a delicious Chinese restaurant! Staff were really friendly and helpful. Parking is very limited because it is on a tiny lot but I came early so parking wasn't an issue. It appears there is free street parking. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. I had the Cheung fun with peanuts, Cheung fun with egg, shrimp fried rice, this green dessert, and tofu wrapped around rice roll. Everything was delicious. Cheung fun and tofu wrapped around rice roll were my favorite. The Cheung fun was thin and the sauce was so delicious! The tofu was crispy and it had some garlic inside and it was so delicious. The waitress brought out an extra sauce for my Cheung fun without me asking. They were very attentive. Restaurant was also really clean. I live in Thousand Oaks but needed to come into this area for business and decided to give this place a try. Well worth it and I will be back again next time I am in town. I also purchased another Cheung fun with peanuts to go and my daughters loved it and they are picky eaters.“

“The vibe is amazing. High energy for sure. Great place to come and have a conversation or be loud with your friends. The meat quality is amazing. Everything is fresh never Frozen. The kimchi the sauce, the soup, the salad, the meat, literally everything is just top tier. The prices are so freaking good, it's priced like the super cheap quality places but it's literally just so damn good.

Good hours, good quality, Good vibe, five out of five, only thing that sucks is parking LOL“

“The food is well seasoned, but the skewers are cold on our table. We are disappointed, because the barbecue it’s hot taste is different. After that, my husband and I ordered two skewers of Australian mutton kebabs. These two skewers were hot when they were comed. Was it because of the cheap price that we ate cold skewers?“

“My favorite Korean barbecue in Los Angeles. All the side dishes are fantastic and there is so much variety you can tell they really thought it through! The meat quality is also fantastic. Their marinated galbi is my favorite beef in the world. If all of that is not enough, it is also the only Korean barbecue place that cares enough about the customers that they have a ventilated stove so you don’t smell like Korean barbecue walking out of this restaurant it’s amazing.“

“Amazing food, so worth the price as well! The 대창 is so delicious!! I have twin babies and the restaurant was very accommodating to my family & I with our stroller. We really appreciated it since we previously came from a way more spacious outdoor restaurant that gave us horrible service due to us having babies with us. So we left and decided to come to Yangmani instead to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Will be back for the amazing food and wonderful welcoming service from the staff! Thank you!“
