“My first time to dine here. Enjoyed the food n I got just enough for me to eat.Food was really good.“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“Just finished a fabulous dinner at the DTLA location! We got the Block Bowl and a Combo plate with Brisket and Pulled Pork - everything was delicious, the service was really warm and friendly, and the whole vibe was great! We’ve been eyeing this place for awhile and will definitely be back!!“

“Best bbq I’ve ever had, nicest family serving 💚💥“

“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!“

“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.“

“A very pleasant lounge bar with a wonderful atmosphere and great cuisine. Everything felt cozy and well thought out. The service was excellent — special thanks to our waiter Nikita for being attentive and friendly. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place!😉“

“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.“

“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.“

“I worked at the Hollywood location in 2010. Its probably the best BBQ I ever tasted and glad I was a part of!“

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“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. 🍷🥩“

“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.“

“I recommend the Bbq chicken, Rack of Ribs and Brisket overall everything I ordered was delicious.“

“Really good, healthy food. When we went there, she made the sesame bread while we waited. And it was delicious. My beautiful wife and I have been going here for more than 20 years. And I've never had a bad meal here.“

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

“muy bueno, lo recomiendo al 100, comida koreana.“

“I haven’t been to Wood Ranch in years and it still doesn’t disappoint. The Manhattan Beach location was amazing. Walking in and sitting at the bar while waiting for our table was perfect. The setting is what you make of it, it could be a romantic setting or just something very casual. As for the food, oh man… The fresh soft rolls, the perfectly grilled meat… it was just all perfect. I would“

“Great FOOD! Glad to have you so close once again! 🥰“

“A great combination of flavors for rub. Great for any type of smoked meat and it's sure to get the family together everytime!“

“Amazing customer service!
We ordered all you can eat and everything was really delicious.
They even have offer a vegetarian all you can eat for a special price. We thought it was really considerate.
Plenty of side dishes as well.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😋😋😋👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️“

“The food and service were amazing. The meats and options they have here are very unique and delicious, up to 32 different options. The person who gave us our meat was nice and caring. As some side notes, if this is your first time going to Korean BBQ place, you cook your own food so make sure you know how to cook meats, also the music they played here is pretty good!“

“amazing food and good for family“

“The flavor is outstanding!! I wish I lived in the area so I could eat it more often. Cooked to perfection with a rub that tickles the taste buds and warms the tummy. So Yum 😋“

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

“What a hidden treasure in WLA! The restaurant is a combination of delicious food, a wonderful staff and a fantastic owner!!!! The wings (and many other choices) are delicious and made with loving care. The food makes me smile!!!!!!“

“Ko Ryo Jung is an excellent Korean BBQ spot with truly authentic flavors. The quality of the meat is great—fresh, juicy, and well-seasoned. The banchan (side dishes) are plentiful and delicious, and they’re refilled generously.

The service is friendly and attentive, and the staff helps with grilling and explains the best way to enjoy the food. The restaurant is clean with a comfortable, authentic Korean atmosphere.

Definitely a place I’ll come back to. Highly recommended!“

“The service was great & the food was soooooo good! I highly recommend the place for anybody to go eat here!“

“If you’re craving authentic Korean BBQ in the South Bay — especially Korean-style grilled beef intestines (gopchang) — this is the place to go.

One thing that really stands out to me is how clean and well-prepared the gopchang is. Korean-style gopchang is known for its thorough cleaning and careful preparation, and I truly felt a sense of safety and quality here. That attention to detail makes a big difference.

All of the side dishes were excellent as well — everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced.

I’d definitely love to come back here often with friends!“

“It was delicious ?? The place was quiet and a bit intimidating but if you check out their website and look over their menu I don't believe you'll be disappointed. The food is a good size portion for the price. I ordered the chicken with tonkatsu. I was hungry and this hit the spot. I think they'd do well if it was a drive thru.“

“The food is sooooo good!!! It’s my comfort food now but the service is awful…We were the only customers in the restaurant at that time. When I asked for two pairs of chopsticks at the counter, the staff member appeared to ignore me completely. I had to repeat my request twice before she reluctantly looked up and threw the chopsticks at me. The service was disappointing and unnecessarily rude.“

“excelente servicio muy bien todo“

“Got the chance to finally get some APL bbq out in Venice. Perfect weather, chill outdoor venue, 4 huge smokers out back, and a long line of patrons excited to get some bbq. What an amazing way to enjoy a nice weekend. The bbq was awesome. Tender, smoky, and tasty. We got to try these items.

Lamb rack - very tender not gamey at all.
Peking Duck - came with a very interesting fun blackberry sauce. Taste foie gras like yums.
Crispy Pork Belly - super crunchy and basically melts in your mouth ooooweee! Favorite bite of the day.
Short ribs - super beefy and tender
Pork ribs - Smokey and tender
Corn bread - soft, crumbly, and sweet. Yums had like 3 pieces.
Baguette - crispy crust, soft airy interior with a nice chew (reminds me of sour dough)

Paired the bbq with some beer and cocktails. Super fun dining experience. So close to the beach so we got to check that out as well.

Heads up the lot next door is $20. Should Carpool.“

“Burning Shell was such a great experience. The space has a cozy but stylish vibe, perfect for a casual night out or a special dinner. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole visit feel relaxed and welcoming.“

“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.“

“I love a Korean BBQ spot where they cook your meat for you. Definitely something that I look for and the staff here does a great job. They are pretty nice and they cook the food really well. There is a decent amount of banchan and the Pigya tasting menu is fantastic. Plenty of meat included in the servings. Aside from meat, it includes a steamed egg, kimchi fried rice, and hangover ramen. It got a bit smokey but the fans were strong and helpful. My friend tried the soju cocktail which was pretty sweet and not that strong. Tasty though! Definitely recommend grabbing lunch or dinner here because the food was great quality.

Now for my standard comments. The location is clean and well kept. Comfortable indoor seating.“

“Rica comida y buen servicio“

“The only game in town. Other BBQ places could not shine Woody's shoes.“

“Chose this place because of their STAR rating on google and it did not disappoint! Robert was very friendly and professional! We had the beef brisket and beef rib dinners with salad, potato salad and beans.. the ribs were huge and delicious! The brisket was well cooked and tasty! HIGHLY recommend this place! It was definitely worth it.“

“Boss sauce hit the spot, my (almost) 2 year old tore it up! Love jimmy browns!“
