Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Hacienda Heights, CA

“We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch experience at Soo Ra Sang! The Al Jji Gae was exceptionally flavorful, the Kalbi was wonderfully tender and juicy, and the Bulgogi was absolutely perfect. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was very friendly. We are certainly looking forward to returning!“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“The quality of the meat here is seriously amazing 🥩
I highly recommend ordering the beef combo platter! The beef short ribs and Ribeye were both incredibly delicious — juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The beef tongue is also a must-order, sliced to the perfect thickness with a great texture after grilling✨

The steamed egg and cheesy corn that come with the combo were surprisingly good too, definitely not just side dishes 🌽🧀

What made the experience even better was that the staff grilled everything for us the whole time, so we could just relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, such a great dining experience 👍🏻“

“The first time we came here was about 20+ years ago. We love their food, especially their authentic Korean tofu. I also love their condiments as an appetizer. We moved out of state and came back to visit. This restaurant is on our to-go list. The service was excellent; the waitress always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The food and service are still outstanding after 20+ years. Yes, I would recommend this restaurant for authentic Korean tofu soup!“

“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.“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“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.“

“Checked out SEOUL BBQ and had a really good time. The food was flavorful and fresh, and the tableside grilling made the whole experience more fun and interactive.

The atmosphere was lively and energetic without feeling too chaotic, and the staff were helpful throughout. Great spot for a group hang and a solid unlimited Korean BBQ night 👍“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“Came here on a Thursday night since our daughters were visiting and we had yet to try. Place was pretty busy and we had reservations for a table. We were seated right away. Selections are varied and tiered. The premium selection gets you access to the meats on that tier as well as those on the tiers below. Banchan offering was good. The place is new and a bit trendy. Now the service well they could use an improvement by checking in more regularly. I felt like I had to chase down a staff member for more meats or refills on drinks. I get staff get busy but service is the role.“

“Everything was delicious for the price! I got the Menu B and the quality of the meats were superb, they gave us a good portion too. The side dishes were just as good! Love the self serve area cause they had sushi as well! Staff were friendly and quick with changing our grill! The restaurant itself was clean and the environment was not too loud so it was easy to talk in there. Totally worth the try!“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates“

“A friend recommended this spot since I’m a huge fan of Korean BBQ, and it did not disappoint. The meat quality was top-notch and everything tasted amazing. What really stood out, though, was the staff—they were incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even better. Great food, great vibes. I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“Eat there only if you want to be treated like dirt. I am sick and tired of their way of treating their customers. They don't do reservations and their wait system is unforgiving and insane. 1. Long wait times like 1.5 hours 2. But with that long wait time, they only give you 10 minutes to "all be there" when they tell you table is ready. 3. That's not even the worst. They put a "wait time" estimate near their check in table. So you would think that is a solid guideline right? But no. The REAL wait time can swing a good 30 minutes both ways. Say they put "Current Wait time is 1.5 hours" you could get a call at 1 hour mark. And then they give you 10 minutes to get your party to be there. And they give you hell if your party can't make it like it's your fault that you don't have crystal ball to tell that your table will be ready in one hour’s time. I have tolerated it coz their food is actually really good. Meat quality is good etc etc. What broke the camels back today is. I checked in at 5:45 today. Wait time is 1.5 hours. So estimate sit time is 7:15 right? When I get the text that table is ready at 7:05 I thought all is awesome. AND THEN they told me that are actually having a staff party tonight and last call is at 8. That leaves my party less than an hour to do an AYCE dinner. I was furious. So I question them, “Why didn't you tell your customer that when they checked in?” "Well, we put the notice on the door. You didn't see it! So… 🤷🏻‍♀️” 1. There are a bunch of white and black notices all over the door and check in area. 2. And yes. My eye sight is not awesome. I didn't see it. But shouldn't it be THEIR JOB to let customer know VERBALLY when they check in that they are shifting the last call time an hour early? That’s basic decency. I wasted almost 2 hours there and by then it’s like lines all over the place for any place. I am never going back again for a restaurant that treats their customer like dirt so they can make money off me any more.“

“We had an amazing dinner at Seoul Belly! Our server, Sam was kind and often checked in on us to make sure the food never burned. The food was delicious and the servings were plentiful! The mala intestines were mouthwateringly numbing and the cold noodles were perfectly chewy. Adding rice cakes to our intestines was the right move as they crisped up and soaked up the chili oil. The corn cheese was very satisfying but got a little dry near the end. We will definitely be back the next time we crave intestines.“

“delicious korean pub food! with natural wine by the glass. soju cocktails. highly recommend the pork belly.

don’t let the interior fool you. parking can be tough with the kbbq spot next door but there’s residential parking nearby.“

“Popped in because its always time for meat. Loved tge atmosphere, and the language lessons in the bathroom. The food was great. The only downside was lack of my favorite banchan and the high prices of solutions. I'll be back.

With my own bottles. ;)“

“The food was really good! The waiters were all attentive and very quick in making sure we have all of our sides and drinks refilled. The inside looks like a fancy restaurant and it made me feel like I should have worn something nice. But in reality it's just the vibe. Everybody was comfortable. I would definitely come back again“

“Three of us visited for lunch, and we had a great experience from the moment we walked in. We were greeted right away and quickly seated, which we really appreciated. We ordered the naengmyeon and galbi combo along with a seafood pajeon, and everything was well-balanced and delicious. The naengmyeon and galbi combo was especially outstanding. The pajeon was also crispy and flavorful. The side dishes were tasty, and the staff were attentive and friendly throughout our meal. Overall, a very satisfying visit. We’d definitely come back again.“

“All you can eat for $40👏🏽👏🏽“

“The meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.“

“Great spot for Korean bbq but they're not an all you can eat spot, nor do they have combos. Everything is a la carte so it can get pricey. But the food is good. Oh, and always ask for fried rice after the meal. You have to pay for it but it's worth it. Side note, ground gets slippery so wear something that grips. Greasy floors.“

“Came here for the first time and I have to say the Yuksoo Bulgogi was SO good! The flavor was perfect — not too sweet or too salty — and everything tasted incredibly fresh. Even all of the banchan was perfectly seasoned. The cold noodles were so refreshing, and I loved that they make their own noodles in-house. They had such a unique chewy texture and were absolutely delicious.

The service was also great — everyone was so friendly and made us feel very comfortable throughout the meal. Highly recommend this place and I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“The food is good. They serve your order pretty fast. Maximum 5 items per order but no limit (cuz all you can eat). Minus 1 star because the inside is too smoky. The exhaust hood is not strong enough to get all the smoke out. Overall, I still recommend this place with such value and quality of the food.“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The food is so good and the people working there are the most friendliest I've ever met!!! I'm definitely coming back here for more food!!! 5 stars!!!“

“Gui Gui 9292 is easily becoming one of my go-to AYCE KBBQ spots in the area. You really can't beat their pricing—the lunch special is a total steal at around $22.99, and the dinner menus are super reasonable starting at $29.99.
The meats are surprisingly good quality for the price point. Definitely load up on the beef belly, brisket, and marinated pork. The fact that they use real charcoal grills makes a huge difference in the flavor compared to standard gas grills.
One of the best parts is their self-serve hot bar. It has all the sauces, side dishes (banchan), salads, and even tortillas for wraps ready to go, so you aren't waiting on a server just to get a refill on kimchi or brisket sauce. Speaking of service, the staff is attentive, quick to change out the grill, and fast with the meat orders.“

“Excellent restaurant ,meats seasoned to authentic Korean flavor and great service ask for Megan and she will make you feel welcome and appreciated. And if you’re new to the experience she will show you the experience of cooking on your own table…very good food,cheers“

“The staff was friendly. the food was one price endless meat and sides...and you cook your own meat. Need to try at least once. AND go on an empty stomach! 😬“

“Had a great time with my fiancé the server was very respectful and fast I love going to GENS in Cerritos“
