50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near El Segundo

“Good portions for the price
I ordered the 2 meat plate which came with 2 sides and a drink. It came to about 30 after tax and it was worth it.

The beef link was spicy and delicious, the amount of brisket I got was surprisingly large and the corn was amazing.

The staff were extremely kind and I would definitely come back again.“

“I went to this location today for Lunch on 06/13/26 the service was nice. The cashier named Mailin was very polite and courtesy. I appreciated her being very helpful when I was placing my order. There were two cooks in the kitchen, I didn't get their names but food taste good and they also give good portions sizes compare to other Hawaiian BBQ places who are stingy on the meat. Thank you guys for a great lunch.“

“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“

“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!!“

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

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

“My husband and I found this gem on one of our K town adventures. The food is phenonmenal, the staff was out standing they cook the meat right in the table for you. My husband who is not a big steak eater absoultly loved it. We have told several friends and we are definitely coming back.“

“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!!“

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

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

“amazing food and good for family“

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

“There's nothing I can say bad about this place I wish I could give the atmosphere a five star but I also love the fact that it's super casual and more relaxed. As far as the food I would drive from Beverly Hills just to get their bowls. It deserves a five-star. Everything went incredibly smooth and the staff were incredibly professional. I could go on and on about the quality of the food but I haven't had every dish. The one dish I had the bulgogi with rice was done to perfection. The rice was correctly made as can be. And the flavor from the bulgogi was not overly sweet and left a great aftertaste. Couldn't recommend it enough. If you're ever in the neighborhood pick some up you'll be happy you did.“

“I stopped for lunch Monday 22nd 2026 around 11:30 am, my plan was to order cold noodle(냉면) but changed plan after checking the menu,beef short rib soup (갈비탕) was only $17
I was by myself, I was seated big table for 4 people, 6 side dishes were served with cold water(I eas asked if I want cold or hot water)I said cold and they served cold water and 6 side dishes, I accidebtally droppes the cup with ice water, made a mess on table, server asked me if I am ok and cleaned the table also refilled ice water, had enough beef short ribs and all the side dishes were delicious“

“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!😉“

“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“

“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.“

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

“I'll get into the food review later, but first I have to say that the customer service here was top-notch. In all my wisdom, I picked like the busiest weekend to finally decide to try eating here for the first time. So understandably, the owner was absolutely swamped and there was a little wait. I didn't mind, I ordered something simple for my first time anyways, and he was up front with the fact that there would be a wait. We got to talking when I did get my food, and they genuinely care about providing good service and getting orders right here. I love that, it's something I really miss seeing in businesses. It was a good little chat. Based on that alone, I am happy to come again.

But the food! Ahhh it was delicious. The rib I had was so good that I had to text my sister after the first bite to tell her she missed out when she came to visit me. I tried both sauces and I really liked the spicy one more than I thought I would, just because these days I'm getting more sensitive to spice. But it was a very reasonable level, super flavorful for me. My brisket was excellent too. I think the pricing was also pretty good, but I'm not an expert there. Next time I'm gonna try some sides :D

I'm happy I finally came by today, and I'm looking forward to coming again!“

“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!“

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“Hands down one of my favorite Korean restaurants for years. The food just tastes amazing. Well known amongst Koreans for a reason. I always get the bulgogi and dongchimi noodles. The dongchimi noodles are a must when coming here, it’s what it’s best known for. Paired with their bulgogi, the experience just gets better. I’m not one who likes sweet, soy based marinated meats, but this place does it so well. Their marinade is not too strong or sweet, the meat is soft. Dip it into their nutty and savory sesame oil? Game over. The combination is just amazing. Please try these two together! Highly recommend. Yes, the bulgogi is a bit pricey, but it hits and the meat is so soft.“

“I ordered from Uber eats. First time trying this store and omg it was so good. I saw a video and I get all the hype. All the dishes were super delicious my favorite was the Spicy BBQ Pork Yubu ​super yummy. the best part is that the portions are really generous for the price. you won't regret eating here super yummy.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Really enjoyed my visit to this Bull BBQ restaurant spot. The meat was incredibly flavorful and high quality, and everything tasted delicious. The service stood out too, our server she was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend & I will definitely be coming again very soon!“

“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.“

“It just has that KBBQ vibe. The servers are so friendly and super accommodating. They suggest, recommend, and chat you up. Super cozy.

As for the food, get the signature dish: gobchang (intestines). For a medium, you get to choose three of the four choices: abomasum (stomach), tripe, large intestines, and small intestines. Additionally, you get side dishes, a choice of a stew (kimchi or fermented soybean), corn cheese, steamed egg, and salad. They cook the intestines for you before bringing it out to your table, so that it says warm as you eat. They stir fry the intestines with potato slices, onions, garlic and mushrooms. They really do 곱창 right. We also ordered the beef tartare, since they had posters of it around the restaurant. The beef tartare is definitely in the top 3 of the ones I've tried around OC, NY, and SD. The cuts are thicker than normal and the seasoning is perfect. They don't include a lot of ingredients like other places do, but it just hits better.

It's within a plaza, so there is plenty of parking around the restaurant. This place has become one of my go-tos for gopchang. A++!“

“I’ve been here several times—it’s my go-to spot for grilled seafood. I usually order one of the group sets, and I love how it comes with a variety of sides like fried dishes, spicy rice cakes, Korean pancakes, and even noodles at the end. It’s a great value if you’re coming with a group.
They also have both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice depending on the vibe you’re going for.
During our most recent visit, Daniel our server was super friendly and attentive. I accidentally left my bag there after dinner and didn’t realize until the next day. Thankfully, they kept it safe. Huge thanks to Jeff for securing it and Daniel for reaching out once he got the message. I really appreciated that!
I’ve been here multiple times and will definitely keep coming back.“

“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!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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 food the owner is so sweet definitely will return“

“Quesataco is amazing!! So juicy and flavorful, it’s delicious every bite. Regular taco is delicious too if cheese ain’t ur thing but if it is, mulita is pretty good as well. Tacos are on the smaller side, so I usually order 2-3. If you are craving for dessert, their churros are warm and crispy! Highly recommend this place“

“Been meaning to come here for a long time, glad we finally made it. I didnt realize this was in Maydan market, which was an added bonus, as its a really cool area with lots of great food options. The food at Ponchos was outstanding. The tlayuda was huge and super filling, but i also had to try the mole turkey leg, which was tender, juicy, and richly flavored.“

“This place is incredible. I’m honestly shocked it doesn’t have more reviews or a Michelin star. My wife took me here for Father’s Day and it was just fantastic food. We eat at places all over the world, and we’re in Japan in March, and this was still a super special experience. Thank god it is 10 minutes down the road haha“

“I was craving ribs & collard greens- so we went out and got some! What I was not expecting was the largest rib I’ve seen in a WHILE!
Thank you for explaining your menu to us and for the woman on register for genuinely being such kind people to us and others as we sat to eat. :)“

“This place deserves to be on every foodie’s checklist. A must-eat in Redondo Beach!“

“Nahhh… this place actually lived up to the hype. 😭🔥 The chicken was CRAZY crispy without being dry, and every bite was juicy. Soy Garlic is hands down my favorite flavor. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the sauce is so good I could eat it every day.

The sides were solid too, everything came out fresh and hot, and the staff was super chill. The place was clean and the whole vibe was a W.

Definitely one of the best Korean fried chicken spots I’ve had. If you’re debating whether to try bb.q Chicken, just go. The Soy Garlic is a must. 10/10, I’m already thinking about my next order.“

“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 😋😋😋👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️“

“Kelly did a wonderful job. She was super attentive to our order, made sure to keep our drinks refilled, & didn't hesitate to anticipate our needs. The food was wonderful as always, we've kept coming back for years because of it & hope to do so in the future.“

“Absolutely phenomenal duck KBBQ. Never had duck for KBBQ and it was decadent. All of the ducks cooks and smothered in duck fat and in the garlic. At the end they made fried rice with banchan and duck fat. It was heavenly. It was perfect for a large group of 10 with their semi-private dining in the back. A must try.“

“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 .“

“Ko Ryo Jung Restaurant is one of my favorite spots for Korean BBQ! The AYCE is very affordable, and the quality of the meat is surprisingly good for the price. Everything tasted fresh and well-marinated, and there were plenty of options to choose from.

The servers are friendly, attentive, and quick to change the grill and bring refills. The whole experience felt welcoming and comfortable.

Plus, there’s free parking, which makes it even more convenient. Great value for the quality — I’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere“

“Honu Poke and Grill is the kind of place you try once and immediately start telling everyone about.

The spicy mayo salmon poke is hands down the best I’ve had — incredibly fresh, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The beef ribs are unreal — fall-off-the-bone tender with that rich, smoky BBQ flavor done just right. The beef galbi is just as impressive, perfectly marinated and grilled to bring out that sweet and savory combination. And don’t skip the chicken teriyaki with macaroni — it’s a must-try and such a satisfying, comforting combo.

The Hawaiian drink options are also super refreshing and really complement the food. They balance everything out perfectly and wash down all that freshness, making the whole meal even better.

Another huge plus is that they offer party trays for any gathering or celebration. It’s the perfect option if you want to impress guests with delicious, high-quality food.

Beyond the food, the experience makes it even better. The service is warm and attentive, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the restaurant is very clean and well-kept. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The owner is also incredibly kind and makes you feel genuinely appreciated as a customer, which goes a long way.

If you’re debating whether to check it out — do it. This place delivers on flavor, quality, and hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“
