50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Hawthorne

“This is a small family owned restaurant. The Mongolian is great - they give you the option of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce and cook it to order. You pay by the pound so be mindful as you stack your bowl, however, the price is very reasonable. I usually get multiple meals out of 1 order. The grill is well maintained and always clean.“

“So delicious! My whole family enjoys L&L, and we’ve sampled just about everything on the menu. Wholesome freshness and authentic flavor. Generous portions, choices of sides, and lots of sauce! Reasonable prices and friendly staff. What’s not to love?“

“Fast casual Hawaiian spot across the Lowe’s complex. Came here for dinner with my family and got two orders of the BBQ mix plates which come with kalbi, chicken, and beef. The mac salad was well mixed and they give a generous amount of rice. The meats were a teeny bit too salty but were still good. Two plates between the four of us were a good amount of food. Credit cards accepted. You order first and pay at the counter before receiving your food. There’s indoor seating available and you can also get takeout. You can call ahead to order as well. Parking lot available.“

“Exceptional Yakiniku experience! Ben's knowledge and attention to detail made our visit memorable. The premium meat selection is remarkable, particularly the marbled wagyu cuts. The contemporary atmosphere and high-end grills create an elegant setting.“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

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

“Great qualities of meat selection and a bunch of other types of excellent qualities of food. Definitely a place to go to celebrate and for special occasions.

“In my culinary experience with a discriminating palette, Ray's Texas BBQ (featuring their premium Wagyu Brisket) clearly stands above BBQ eateries throughout Southern California. The flavor and texture alone defies description.

For a glimpse, see photos. Sadly, I nearly devoured my order not 1st taking pics myself. It's just that damn delectable.

I eagerly await the day they bottle/market their lemonade
- truly Nectar of the Gods...

The entire staff, are always most accommodating and the facility, consistently immaculate.

Very special thanks to Raul & family. Luv you guys.“

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

“Best BBQ in the south bay area. I love BBQ food and this place is one of the best places for it. I've tried Woody's, Sauced, Lucilles, and Britts always comes on top. Service is also exceptional. I'm never disappointed whenever I go.“

“We recently flew into Los Angeles and stayed at an Airbnb in Santa Monica. Craving a quick and satisfying meal, we ordered BBQ + Rice through DoorDash, and it didn’t disappoint!

I got the Spicy Chicken bowl for $12, and it was delicious. The spice had a nice kick to it without being overbearing—a perfect balance that added great flavor to the dish. The portion was generous, and it left me feeling satisfied, which is exactly what I needed after a long day of traveling.

This spot is definitely worth considering if you’re in the mood for a flavorful, no-fuss meal. I’d absolutely order this again for a quick and tasty snack!“

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

“This is my favorite spot for Korean barbecue. Both the pork and beef combos are so good and they come with enough meat for 3 people. The side dishes are really good (cucumber kimchi is particularly good in my opinion). The combos also come with stew and both options are really good. I go pretty often and it’s always amazing.“

“Drove from Pasadena for a couple sliced brisket sandwiches. Well worth the drive. Always delicious.“

“We did a reservation on 8pm on Friday,after two hours they told us to leave or to seat near the exit,so another people can seat on our place :) We want to spent night there in hookah zone close to dj,that's was our last time in that place“

“I accidentally went to this place. The best accident I made with food decisions, their food is great, the chicken was juicy and tender, the flavor of the teriyaki was perfect, not too sweet. The amount of food they give is enough for two servings and the greatest part, their prices are shocking I got two meals for four servings under $20. And last the workers were very pleasant.“

“The all you can eat lunch special is amazzzzing! For $3 more you can upgrade to premium beef sirloin 👌🏽 Honestly, we found this restaurant on a random search and didn’t know what to expect. My friend and I truly enjoyed our lunch here today. Irene was so welcoming. Thank you!“

“The wings were perfectly cooked and they have lots of variety flavors. Perfectly crispy on the outside, nicely seasoned, and super tasty wings.

“I recommend this place for sure 🥰🥰🥰“

“amazing food and good for family“

“One of the best all you can eat korean bbq places in torrance! Been here since I was a kid and my family enjoys eating here for ayce. The place is on the small side but can serve many groups as once, I have been reccomending this place since my early highschool years and even to this day. They have a lunch menu hours which are cheaper than dinner times of course. They also have an A or B menu, if you are gonna come try this place I reccomend trying the B menu set at least once, as their premium ribeye, galbi, and many of their special selections. Their service is very attentive and very easy to talk to, don't forget their salad bar and the steamed eggs which do not taste burnt like other places!“

“I went to CheongGiWa with my family of four and ordered raw sirloin, raw galbi, and cold noodles. Ssam vegetables and various Korean side dishes were served as basic, and all the food we ordered was delicious. Both the owner and the staff were kind, and the atmosphere was bright and good because it was remodeled.“

“All the seafood is imported from Korea and you can really taste the freshness. Please trust me and get the eel because it's the best quality I've ever tried and I've tried a lot in Korea. Service is top notch and I'm obsessed with this place now.“

“Super tasty! King Yubu is a little hidden gem kind of place. Really delicious Korean style sushi. Think like little pockets with all kinds of fillings on rice. I got the Signature King Yubu, the spicy pork belly and the unagi Yubu with a spicy tuna and tempura sushi roll. All really good we also tried the kimchi loaded fries really big portion definitely a shareable portion. It was corn cheese with kimchi on the seasoned fries you can get different toppings like fried chicken or bulgogi but just the fries by themselves were super good so we went without all the extra. Definitely coming back to try the other options on the menu looks like new updates and ideas coming to the menu all the time. Great job chef.“

“Fun experience. This is a no frills Korean restaurant- you have to get up and get your own water and side dishes. But the meat comes quickly when you order it and the staff was very good in changing our grill whenever we wanted. The brisket and shrimp are the best.“

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

“Excellent KBBQ spot. We got the porkya and it was so delicious. The wagyu was a stand out, as well as the pork belly, and kimchi fried rice. There is plenty of food for 2-3 people with the smaller portion. Loved all the sides and the atmosphere is really great. Highly recommend this spot!“

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

“WOW! Came here last minute since other Korean BBQ spots were closed and thank god they were. This place was absolutely amazing! The staff was so attentive the whole time and they kept checking on us. When we asked for something extra like cucumbers they brought it within seconds. PLEASE come here! They deserve so much more praise because it’s a bang for your buck. Thank you so much to the staff!“

“This is the K town classic. It first opened in 1982. Since then it became the place to get authentic Korean BBQ and signature dongchimi noodle. I still remember the first time I tried their noodle and I was so blown away. When it comes to dongchimi noodles, they are on the top tier.“

“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!!!!!!“

Vegetarian options: They have some side dishes, and a policy to not charge full price if youre not eating meat.“

“excelente servicio muy bien todo“

“For a small cafe, this place is great with quick service and good food. My go to order is usually the Pokerito (Sushi Burrito wrapped in Nori). I usually order it with the Salmon Spicy Mayo. I've also had the Chicken Adobo Plate, Loco Moco, BBQ Pork Belly plate, grilled Salmon and Bone in Beef ribs (the larger ones) with mac salad and rice to die for. Flavors are consistent and I like the way they season the Mac salad.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 .“

“The meat was good and tender. Service was exceptional. However, they could use some coaching on preparing the sides. They were a bit lackluster in taste.“
