“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“Fast and Good service of the crew“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.👍🏻“

“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!“

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

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

“Hanu K-BBQ was a highly rated place in LA's Koreatown, so we decided to try it. Clearly review inflation. 4.7 on Yelp and Google. Big focus on getting 5 star yelp reviews. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and its own parking lot.
3.5% credit card fee. Their menu has the typical expensive a la carte meats, but lacks tofu stew.
Lunch Specials 11am-3pm/7days are a great bet.

Meal was fine but not super. Service was drop and go. Probably should have went back to Soowon Galbi or Parks BBQ.

Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering.

Food Review:
Marinated Beef Short Ribs + Buckwheat cold noodle soup ($34.99) lunch special was cooked at our table and consisted of 3 pieces. No BBQ smell at least. Decent quality and reasonable quantity. Huge bowl of cold noodles. Only 4 types of banchan. 8.5/10

Beef brisket soybean paste stew with tofu ($14.99) lunch special is not a big dish and was the closest thing to tofu spicy stew. Very spicy. 8/10

Overall - Good
Food - Good
Decor - Good
Service - Fair
Value - Good

Would we come back - No“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“amazing food and good for family“

“Excellent banchan. I refilled four times. Best kimchi I've ever had. Galbi is superb. Bulgogin is excellent. Angus short rib is superb. Spicy pork is OK. Chicken is surprisingly very good. $140 combo will for sure feed four. They say it's for two but you have to be truly oinkers to eat that much meat. And I am far from vegetarian.“

“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 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!“

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

“Really good kbbq i loves their marinated kalbi and yukhoe, they also had really good banchan and good sake; the ambiance is also really nice since they keep the place bit dim its a great place for date night, taste wise its just as good as many of the ktown kbbq’s that Ive tried, the staff was super friendly as well, highly recommended“

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“It’s funny to me when people complain about things like not being allowed to split portions for one person, not being able to take food home, sushi being ‘too big,’ or even time limits lol. I think the sense of entitlement is real among some of us. I genuinely love the food, the variety, and the soju—this is honestly one of the best places to enjoy Korean BBQ.

Maybe some people are just used to getting free passes and special treatment elsewhere, but here everyone is treated equally. That’s all it really is.“

“The food is soooo good!!!!

The pork belly is thick, juicy, and grilled perfectly by the staff, so you don’t have to cook anything yourself. Service is attentive and professional.

The side dishes are also a highlight — lots of variety, and everything we tried was solid. I love their eggs and soup!!! Not just the pork, the beef was surprisingly good and very juicy.

Overall, a great place for a casual dinner or group meal. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in K-town.“

“Amazing food the owner is so sweet definitely will return“

“We loved everything about this place! We sat outside and were seated quickly on a Saturday with no reservations, we did get there right when they opened. Service was exceptional, staff was awesome and we will be visiting again!!“

“Busy spot right in the heart of Alhambra. Many dining options on the block.

We arrived and we're instructed to check in to put our name on the list. Our wait time was about 15 minutes in a busy graduation day in the area.

We ordered promptly and the robot brought out items quickly. The banchan area is self service. They have other items available in that area. There is a beer on draft and nice selection of soju.

We went with the brisket, spicy bulgogi and spicy pork belly.

Service was timely and there when we needed it. Pricing is on PAR for AYCE locations.“

“Came here with a group and had a lovely experience! The parking lot is valet only but it's only $4. The hospitality was awesome and all the meat was amazing especially the pork and extremely tender galbi! Loved the pancake and soups as well. Lovely service! She brought us free soju and soup as well! Highly recommend this place for great atmosphere and BBQ!“

“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.“

“Great food, service and atmosphere“

“Very cool place! The price is great, the food is amazing, and the service is excellent. The only downside is the long wait on weekends — we waited about 40 minutes for our table. Still, it was definitely worth it. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Great ayce kbbq good priced options services are off the charts… And very friendly. Thank you roadtoseoul“

“Amazing experience at MJD KBBQ! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Albert and Daniel provided outstanding service—they were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Their great attitude and hospitality made the experience even better. Highly recommend MJD KBBQ, and we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Best Service with delicious foods“

“Love coming with the family. Food is always great, good music, but we especially love the customer service. My daughter is autistic and they always accommodate us. The staff is always on their feet and constantly check up on you. Everyone is so friendly, they make the whole experience more enjoyable.“

“I’ve tried their food several times and every dish so far has been really good, fresh and yummy!🤩 the service is good, there’s side dishes and prices are amazing for the portions you get. My sister and I love this place and come often. It’s definitely a hidden gem!!!🍜 10/10“

“I are here several times at the bar. Cooked on the open fire and had a few great conversations“

“Like the food clean place the waiter and waitress are courteous“

“Great owners, long time staff who are really good people. They all care about their food and their service“

“I'm so glad they have location here, It closed to me. Love this food. Good meat quality and good service. Staff is very nice and helpful.“

“first time visit and we'll be coming back the food was great and the service was better very friendly and cordial.“

“I feel compelled to write a review because the service simply sucked! Note that this is the first Korean spot I’ve ever felt bad service.

I’ve been to brothers many times but today was just off. Call it a new waiter or perhaps prejudice… regardless it’s managements fault. Quarters service is 10x compared to Brothers. That being said their galbi was excellent.“

“Rica comida y buen servicio“

“Good food, great service. What more can you ask for?

We made reservations online via Yelp and a day before our reservations (a little under 24 hours), I received a text message to confirm them. All you have to do is hit 1 and reply to the text or go to the link provided and it'll take you to the app to confirm. Super convenient!

Our other party arrived minutes before we did as we were stuck in traffic and the staff immediately said the table was ready. My family opted to wait for us and we arrived shortly after noon.

Once we all together, we were immediately seated and was pleasantly greeted by our lovely server. She was amazing and super attentive! She provided recommendations and we placed our orders immediately. Both tables chose the $39.99 all you can eat option.

Tables were both set up with starters that included a house salad, macaroni salad and kimchi. Table settings included plates, plastic cups for water, utensils, napkins and sauces.

We all started with the Boneless LA Galbi, LA Galbi and PRIME Boneless Short Rib. Meat was tender and delicious and the dipping sauces were great. We also ordered sides of the following (with the first being the best in our opinion):
- Cup Ramen Fried Rice
- Korean Fried Chicken Bites
- Corn Cheese
- Loaded Tots (Cheetos)
- Gyoza (Beef & Vegetable)
- Steamed Egg

Everything was piping hot and made to order for the sides. I highly recommend making reservations as lines were starting to form about 30 minutes after we arrived. Parking can be a little difficult if you're street parking but there are plenty of spaces available all on Spring St.

We are definitely coming back! Thanks, DTLA AYCE KBBQ!“

“First time eating here. Tons of great food, fast service.“

“I had a great lunch with my family“

“Great dining experience! We loved the food and service.“

“The food was good and the server was friendly.“

“One of my favorite spots when I’m craving KBBQ! This place in K-Town is hands-down the best, in my opinion. The restaurant has a parking lot with plenty of spaces, honestly a must in LA.

The service is always excellent when I come here. We're seated right away, and the sides and meats come out super fast. I love that they provide a pitcher of water at the table, so I can refill my drink anytime.

The two servers were constantly checking on us to see if we needed more meat, napkins, sides, or anything else. With our choice of Menu C, they brought out the steamed egg and potato pancake automatically — like they were reading my mind before I even asked lol.

The sides are amazing. Whoever makes the kimchi here knows what they’re doing. The marinated shrimp come peeled and butterflied, which makes grilling and eating so much easier.

Overall, it was a great dining experience with high-quality food and service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“First time here. Everything was great service, food the bathroom 😍 the atmosphere is amazing and staff super friendly. I noticed that the hot pan was tilted but is because the juice is removed from the hot pan via a tiny hole. Amazing idea. 💡 i definitely want to come back again. The only thing I don’t like is the parking cost$3 dollars where it should be free.!!!“

“Wow, I think the ribs here are the best compared to Suwon Galbi. It's delicious. I ordered two people, but it's such a shame that I got half a portion. There are a lot of strange people in the reviews. It must be difficult to do business. It says lettuce on the menu, but they ask for it as a service. Anyway, one man and one woman each ordered ribs, and it was half a portion. Yes, there are a lot of sheep.“

“The service is what makes this place top notch (on top of the food of course)! Every single employee we interacted with were professional, attentive, and quick. I came here visiting from Washington State, and my nephew recommended this place along with others. I'm glad we ended up here! I even brought my parents who aren't as adventurous with foods and they also liked it! We got the premium TGI Ayce and it did not disappoint - the variety of proteins and sides for this selection was delicious! I would definitely come here again when I'm in town!“
