Barbeque Restaurants near Hawthorne

“Came for lunch with my buddies. The owners were super friendly, and the food is a bit on the salty side, but overall, good!!! I really enjoy the fried rice.

Vegetarian options: Would skip this place.

Parking: Right at the front of the restaurant.“

“Good food and plenty of free parking. It is also close to the LAX Airport which makes it convenient for y’all to stop by on your way there or on your way back to y’all’s city if y’all are just dropping off someone. Price is very reasonable. They also have exclusive restroom just for the customers, I just hope they can make it a lil bit cleaner. They have friendly service but their food takes a lil bit long and limited seating inside. Aside from that no issues.Definitely recommended!“

“The BBQ is melt in your mouth good. It’s that nice tender flavor that’s not overpowered by lighter fluid. I love it!“

“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.“

“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“

“Finally a Japanese Wagyu All You Can Eat BBQ spot in little tokyo! Super excited to have this here! When I dined here, the staff were very friendly and helpful! The dishes came quickly! Excited to come again with my Chubby Club pass! Get that membership for $20 discount for party of 2!“

“Nice small family owned BBQ spot tucked away on a strip mall. Open for just a short amount of time but definitely worth it. Meats are sold by pound or half pound. Sides are pretty good. There are a few lunch benches inside and small parchment paper is given per guest for dine in. Very friendly family that will gladly answer any questions or help out anyway they can plenty of free parking outside including some handicap parking

Vegetarian options: Just sides but possibly not vegan. They are very nice if you want to call and ask specifically“

“Absolutely wonderful. We shared the 4-mest combo for 4 people and it turned out really cheap (10$ per person). We got the brisket, tri-tip, chicken and pulled pork. For sides we had the macaroni, potato salad and BBQ beans. We were gifted ribs as a sample because we were not from the area, and they were absolutely delicious.

The tri-tip and brisket were my favorite. So so good.“

“I had the spicy chicken bowl twice this week. It tastes excellent. There's onions, bell pepper, and sesame seeds to go along with the rice and chicken. My only feedback is that there must be a lot of oil in the recipe because my tummy was rumbling less 8hrs later. I'd have it again but definitely ask for light oil.“

“Great BBQ and friendly service“

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

“This spot is soooo freaking good. The reviews tell no lies. From the ribs and the delicious BBQ sauce to that mac n cheese. Everything about this spot was legit. Can't believe the spot been here 3 years and I haven't checked it out. Will be coming back fs!“

“Best korean bbq place in LA Ktown. I been living here for like 20years I tried all the K bbq places. Here is the best one! Soju and beer price are cheaper then other places.
And No wait!! Side dished and salads are so good and steamed egg was so goodone thing you have to try is the chicken feet? with bottle of soju“

“I’ve been to this place many times, and it’s always amazing. Everything here, from the management to the details, is just perfect. We also love the food—it’s super delicious. My favorite part is probably the music. It gives the place the perfect vibe!“

“The food is good, but the vibe is better and the service great! Even though the brisket is a bit dry, it is tasty. The beef rib is good, but the piece we got had a bit too much grease. Maybe you can tell the waiter to choose a less greasy one if you don’t fancy that. I would repeat the experience.“

“Cute and cozy patio seating. Our server was so great. She was helpful with menu suggestions and went the extra mile to accommodate our requests.

Skillet cornbread was AMAZING. The charred poblanos and honey butter, ugh. So good.

We ordered pork ribs, lean brisket and pulled pork, and sausage. The ribs were my favorite.

Also ordered the Burnt Ends Old Fashioned and it was very good. I would love to go back to try the rest of their Old Fashioned menu!“

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

“Exceptional meats and sauces at this hole in the wall establishment. Come eat and help small business. Worth the stop. If you like teriyaki style foods or hawaiian foods this is top tier for the area. Katsu is world class! Atmosphere geys 4 stars because this joint does not have air conditioning so be prepared for that.“

“I'm always trying to find new Q places in LA, and this place is solid. the price is best I've seen.. the meats were good, the sauce was on point, and the sides complimented everything. The owner is super dope, was nice talking to him. appreciate you brother and I'll be back ?“

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

“For a fun night out in Downtown LA, there is no better place to start than at Craft by Smoke & Fire, located conveniently at the heart of LA Live! ✨Craft cocktails meet drool worthy BBQ and all the appetizers & sides you can dream of✨

We had: ?Duck Around & Find Out (Nosotros Tequila, apricot liqueur, honey, lemon juice, soda water, Blue Curaçao), ?Sorting Hat (Ketel One Vodka, Mr. Black Coffee liqueur, seasonal syrup, flavored whipped cream), ?All The Smoke Platter (prime brisket, prime pastrami brisket, lamb rack, short rib, smoked chicken breast, sausage, corn bread), ?Fried Brussels Sprouts, ?3 Cheese Mac n Cheese, ?Broccolini, ?Coconut Shrimp, ?Brisket Queso-Fundido, ?Giant Bavarian Pretzel, ?Ice Cream Sando, and ?Mud Pie“

“I was so hungry and the smell from the outside just drew me in. This is such a steal for the price, so many free buffet items that also include meat!! Like katsu, fried chicken, etc. highly recommend! And the ambience is fantastic, gives nightlife vibes but not too dark or loud.“

“Awesome stuff quality fast perfect service“

“Visiting from out of state and just coming from the flight, I was looking for a true local bbq gem. L.A. Brisket did not disappoint! I ordered a half pound of brisket, and it was soooo good with just the salt seasoning that I had no need to mix with sauces or anything else. Would highly recommend this humble local gem“

“Best BBQ you’ll ever taste!!!!“

“I'm so happy this restsurant is 1 mile from me.....it is brilliant. Everything we had was oooh and awww.
. Their going to get sick of me being there all the time. The beautiful atmosphere.....the
Terrific servers.....If I can't have my Houstons that use to be in this location ........this is a terrific substitute.......Welcome to Manhattan Beach ⛱️“

“I was born and raised in Oklahoma, so I know Oklahoma style when I taste it, and this is the real thing! The ribs are the best I’ve had since I left Oklahoma many years ago. The brisket is the best I’ve had since the last time I made one. The okra and potato salad are the closest things to my Mother’s I’ve had since she passed 15 years ago. I appreciate all the Oklahoma memorabilia, especially the Oklahoma State University stuff—Go Cowboys! My only complaint is the Sooners hat.“

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

“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.“

“I used to eat here for lunch at least once a week with my several co-workers and we loved it. Then due to our office relocation and other events, I have stopped coming until several days ago after more than 8 years, and the foods here are still outstanding as well as the services. Definitely will come back more often going forward with my family.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Brisket, mac n cheese and baked beans were delicious! Can’t wait to have some more!“

“We came across this by chance and had no idea what to expect. We were kindly invited in right away, which is why we didn't have a chance to think about it ?
But it was also a good thing.
All you can eat is the motto here.
You have a grill in the middle of the table and then choose your ingredients that you want to grill yourself.
It really tasted very good. The quality is very good and the staff gave us great advice right from the start and explained everything to us.
Thank you for this experience.

The regular all you can eat came to $25.“

“Although this is a Korean barbecue restaurant, I was a little surprised to find that none of the waiters were Korean when I arrived. AYCE has a wide variety of food, and some of it tastes good, but the beef tongue is too thin and not attractive. The buffet did not include drinks, which was a bit disappointing.“

“amazing food and good for family“

“just happened to be at start of day so being spontaneous“

“I've been to Pigya twice now, and it was delicious both times! Make a reservation so you know you have a spot but on our last visit there was enough room so you would have been fine without one. Meat is delicious and perfectly cooked by our server...sides are also good and plentiful if you need more! Cannot recommend it enough!
Parking is K-Town is awful so valet if you can or Uber/Lyft.

Vegetarian options: Don't come to a Korean bbq place if you don't eat meat.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for chairs and walkers if needed.“

“Came w three and ordered one serving of bulgogi beef and shared 2 orders of the cold noodle dongcheeme . Bulgogi was flavorful and juicy on the kbbq grill , side dishes were really good , the green onion salad was fresh, and the cold noodles broth was so refreshing on a hot la day. Service was decent . I will come back here just for the bulgogi (very generous portion) and the noodle soup“

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

“We came here very earlier and it was just open. We never tried this before, the owner is very friendly and introduced everything to us. We tried the intestine combo, and we very recommend the combination of abomasum, mountain chain and large intestine. The texture of abomasum and mountain chain are very chewy, and combine with the large intestine, it is very oily smooth. It is definitely worth a try!“

“Nice menu! Small but comfortable with nice wood benches & hanging Edison bulbs. Best thing is the menu - and good choice of draft beers.“

“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.“

“Loved the food here! We ordered the beef ribs, grilled salmon, and a couple of poke dishes. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and SO flavorful; even our young kid liked them instantly. Maybe they smoke the ribs a little too. Whatever this shop does it's "broke da mouth" good. The salmon was delicious. The poke flavors were amazing. We even liked the mac salad and I normally don't enjoy that. Even details down to dressing the rice with dried seaweed was appreciated by us all.

My wife was super happy to be able to sample so many poke flavors as she was ordering. This is our new "go to" Hawaiian place because it's some of the best; even compared to on the islands. Also, the prices are quite reasonable. We can't wait to go 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!!!!!!“

“"I had an incredible experience at this Korean BBQ restaurant. The customer service is truly outstanding—every staff member was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great meal. The food was fantastic, with a variety of delicious options to choose from, all prepared to perfection. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of both the food and service. If you're looking for a place with great food, excellent service, and good value, this is definitely the spot to try!"“

“excelente servicio muy bien todo“

“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 .“

“Very friendly owner and staff. Good BBQ menu.“
