50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Hermosa Beach

“I have always liked this place in Hermosa. Great food. Not too worried about the prices. But since the rebrand you never know if its open or not. The hours posted are wrong and they arent open for lunch most days. Food is great. Sangria is .“

“Awsome adress for having a good time!The whole team is doing an excellent job in hospitality. Flexible and friendly they take care of you and give smart advise on wines. Furthermore, the food is not just excellent. The chef learned his job in Italy and has managed to reproduce with local products a real distinguished cooking experience which is realy outstanding in taste and quality.Please go on like this. We will come back!“

“Love this place! I think it's the best and the only one of its kind. The ingredients are sooo fresh. It's an all you can eat, but no doggy bags allowed. You can order takeout. The staff is friendly. It's a pretty casual restaurant.“

“I am a Korean living in Philadelphia. On my first day in LA, I visited for a quick dinner. I ordered Spicy pork, Bulgogi, and Korean fried chicken. I especially recommend the spicy pork! It tasted like eating in Korea. I hope to open a branch in Philly too?“

“I knew it was going to be fire from the crumb of smoked fried chicken breading I had from my bf's plate. I had to take a moment to prepare myself. The fried chicken was so expertly seasoned and crispy. I got the 3 meat combo, pretty reasonably priced for the amount of meat I got. The sauce is awesome and the meat is juicy and tender. I had to take my nose ring off cause I was so serious about this BBQ. Cornbread is so soft and fluffy and tastes like something your grandma made. The writing on the bricks from people all over were not lying. Nice people behind the counter and great vibe. Best food I've had in El Segundo.“

“Well … what to say. I was actually even considering not to post review- little hidden gem like this should be protected:) First meat - beyond believe and 100% THE best BBQ I ever had. Brisket was famous, but the RIBS?!! Wooow… well… I’m taking my hat off, thank you and thanks destiny to let me to find such place.“

“Cat robot servers, a self-serve bar, over 30 selections for Korean BBQ, and it's only $34.99 per person??! I think I may have just found my new favorite KBBQ spot and it's in Torrance!Waiting for the grill to get hot is like the most aggravating few seconds of KBBQ, does anyone else feel me on this?? But the fact that they have yummy apps like baked mussels (my fave!) ready to eat and banchans makes it worth the wait.They've got all your quintessential favorites like jiggly steamed egg and corn cheese, and all the toppings you need to make your perfect bite.Thanks for reading! ^-^“

“Best thai place I had in awhile. Great value. I had the beef satay and my wife had the chicken satay. Beef satay is bomb. I recommend the cucumber salad over the papaya salad. It had a subway veggies type of taste. My wife is picky and ended up loving it. Be here soon again. 17 bucks average meal.“

“Beware that it only opens on Friday afternoon. It's a chill place in the front yard. I got the Tlayuda with moronga. Very delicious and fulfilling. Oaxacan food (southern Mexican food) is rare where I came from (we have mostly northern ones, like Sonora). So this is a novel and special experience for me.“

“To the uninitiated, this place offers the right amount and fare, with quality just being ok, at a location convenient to those that frequent the area. There are other similar places that offer more in terms of selection and quality within a short drive. Service was on the good side and not a concern. Staff was helpful to first time customers. May come back here to avoid the crowd at other places.“

“I recently visited Palsaik with my girlfriend and her friends, and let me tell you—it was a trip down memory lane! Having lived in Korea about ten years ago, I was thrilled to find this gem right here. Palsaik specializes in eight different flavors of pork belly, and each bite was like a reunion with old friends.The ambiance was cozy, and the aroma of sizzling meat filled the air. Our server was an absolute star—helpful, attentive, and skilled at cooking the meat to perfection. They made sure our dining experience was extraordinary.From the savory garlic flavor to the sweet honey soy, every slice of pork belly transported me back to those bustling Korean barbecue joints. The nostalgia was real, and I couldn’t help but smile between bites.Whether you’re a seasoned Korean food enthusiast or a curious newcomer, Palsaik is a must-visit. The flavors, the service, and the memories—it’s all there. I’m already planning my next visit because, honestly, where else can you find such a delightful pork belly feast?“

“Must go here right now! Great place to eat over catching up with friends. The food fare is delicious. The skewers are meaty and you’re not getting filled up with carbs. The atmosphere is great and just overall a highly recommended experience. The chef ?‍? was highly skilled and knew exactly what he was doing. Would go here again and again and again and ag…… ♾️“

“Hey, just wanted to give a shout out and a recommendation for all of you folks out there. For Easter Sunday I ordered the family pack, which came with three meats two sides, came with a full rack of ribs, a bunch of huge, hot links, and an ample portion of brisket, I got the potato salad and baked beans. The baked beans had brisket in the beans very flavorful. This was a great value was enough to feed six people with leftovers so you may want to check this out, great party pack!. As always, everything fresh, well presented and tasty do yourself a favor.“

“I’ve eaten here(well, I’ve never actually eaten inside the place), but, I’ve ordered take out on work days when I didn’t pack a lunch, and I’ve also ordered Bibingka for a get-together or two, and always had great results! Chicken, Beef, or Salmon Bowl? Can’t go wrong either way! Their Bibingka is delish, as well!“

“Clutch in Santa Monica delivered a delightful Taco Tuesday experience! While the shrimp and fish tacos didn't quite hit the mark for me, the Gringa taco stole the show with its delicious hard shell and flavorful fillings. The burger with fries and pulled pork sandwich also received positive reviews from others in our group. The customer service was exceptional, with attentive staff ensuring a nice dining atmosphere. We sipped on refreshing frescas that perfectly complemented our meal. Opting to sit outside, we enjoyed comfortable seating and soaked in the ambiance of Santa Monica. Overall, Clutch offers a fantastic dining option with great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“We've been coming here for many years. The go-to order for us is the Ox-tongue, Slightly Salted with Green Onions. Other good choices are the Skirt Steak, Liver, Garlic. Be warned it does tend to get smokey inside, so you'll come out smelling like bbq. Plenty of parking in the lot. Reservations help on weekends.“

“After visiting a VW show in Long Beach and showing homes in the South Bay we wanted some genuine Filipino food and this smaller restaurant was rated as one of the best... for a good reason. Michelle is an awesome host, very talkative and informative. My mother-in-law was born and raised in Pampanga and the roots of the restaurant are Pampangan as well. Sisig and Silog were very nice, halo halo a welcome palette cleanser. Parking was not difficult, even though we arrived at around 1pm on a Saturday. 10/10, highly recommended!“

“There are vents that go pretty low so you don't get as much smoke smell on your clothes after the meal.Wait time was good (as a walk-in on Sat night ~8pm).The bonchon selection is quite good - the mat kimchi is fresh but still has the fermentation I expect of good kimchi. Not going to review each one, there was a wide selection and refills on all of them.We got the beef combo, with boneless short ribs. The boneless short ribs were my favorite. They do come by to flip your meat (but don't hover over your shoulder).Jazz started off our service but every waiter was friendly and went out of their way to help! I left a good tip for that.Parking: The parking can be limited because there are so many good food places in the same plaza.“

“Been here a few times, have ordered the pho, vermicelli, spring rolls, and a rice plate. I can easily recommend any of these items! My favorite so far has been the combo vermicelli where you can pick two proteins. If you're looking for your pho fix, this is the spot.“

“Was referred here today by my coworker and I am not disappointed in his suggestion AT ALL! Ribs and link are so flavorful and seasoned to perfection! The customer service was also amazing as they close at 5pm and I called to order ahead and said I wouldn't get there until 15 after and they said no problem they would wait on me! I really appreciate that type of hospitality because post covid it is so hard to come by service that makes you feel cared for and respected! definitely recommend and will be back!“

“We try to grab a delicious meal here at least once a month. The picanha is delicious and you will be satisfied with all the other cuts, there is something for everyone, no seafood though. Salad buffet has a great variety and they serve feijoada (black bean stew) daily. The service is superb and I enjoy how the tables are not too close to each other and allows for nice conversations. My son always enjoy the ice cream w chocolate fudge for dessert.“

“I work nearby and I’ve been craving something sweet so I picked up some banana pudding from here and it was SO GOOD! It was the perfect amount of sweetness, bananas were good and the wafers still had texture to them. If that was just the dessert, I can’t wait to come back for the food!“

“The ambiance and servers were so kind and humorous, the food was absolutely bomb too!! Overall amazing experience as it was my first time at a K-BBQ, and I came with my best friend, her mom, and my sister. Loved this place and hope to come back soon!“

“Truly excellent yakiniku in the heart of Gardena. Legit A5 wagyu, American wagyu, dinner sets they even have oxtail soup, egg soup, great service, perfect seasoning. It costs a grip but it really is worth it. Authentic Japanese Yakiniku. You need to come here.“

“THE PLACE TO GO AND THE PLACE TO BE!!!We have been visting this place since my wife was pregnant with our beautiful son. Now he is a 5 year old boy who says this restaurant is his absolute favorite restaurant!Definitely try to avoid busy times so that you don’t have to wait!For the first time visitors, this is a no ordinary K-BBQ. Haksan specializes in intestine BBQ. If you never had it, you might feel strange about doing a bbq with intestine. Intestine BBQ is in fact one of the most popular dish in Korea.There are a few well-known intestine BBQ places in Los Angeles county. But I can definitely and proudly can tell you that Haksan is THE best place of all. Their meat quality is beyond expectations even for Koreans from Korea. The amount of food is quite big but very affordable (especially in this terrible economy, fulfilling good quality food with affordable pricing is a gem that you cannot avoid).Customer Service here is phenomenal. The owner lady of this restaurant is caring enough to say hello to every customers, and would even like to talk to you if you wish to ask any quesitons about anything. The most impressive thing is that they pre-cook everything so that you can eat almost right away (except for some meat, they do tell you that you should wait and cook a bit more and then eat).Environment is lively but not loud at all. One of downsides of many korean bbq places is that their music is too loud. Haksan does play music but not loud that it's comfortable.If you go to a Korean restaurant, or any asian restaurant for that matter, the first thing you want to look for is "how many of their own people are visiting" and "how many of older people of their own people are visiting." During busy weekend dinner time, this place is thriving with all ages and ethic groups. In fact, it's very fun just to be there because how happy people are eating there. It's just positive vibe overall!Remember that time when BTS said that one intestine BBQ in k-town is the best. I want them to come to Haksan and see it for themselves.LOVE THIS PLACE and will continue to visit here as long as we can!“

“I lived in S Korea for two years and lived for my next meal in that beautiful country. Eating at Hwang's was like being back in Korea. if you have never had Korean food, this is the place for you to start. If you love Korean food this is one of your best choices.“

“Lovely, polite service, absolutely delicious chicken - We ordered the Golden Original which has this light, crispy, flakey coating that is amazing (husband polished it off), and the Secret Sauce which was equally amazing - I had to hide my left overs in the fridge and i ate it cold, and it was still crunchy and delish! the chicken is perfectly tender and juicy. This aint fast food so it takes a few minutes to prepare, boy was it worth it! Can't wait to try the other offerings. It's small, I think most people get the food to go, but it's a very clean place. If I had to give them advise, it's that it's hard to tell by looking in the window whether they are open.“

“I've been to Manpuku a handful of times, but I'm happy to say that my recent visit was the best. The service was quick and attentive, while the food was excellent and also came out very quickly. We opted to order items a-la-carte this time around and did not opt for the meal sets like we normally do, and we found that it was a better result for us. Our favorite picks: Tokyo short rib, pork cheek with yuzu, Manpuku salad!“

“This is a no nonsense local restaurant. The smell as you walk in is unbelievably inviting. Smells like real, home cooked BBQ. I ordered the Momona Combo Plate since it’s my first time trying out this place. That combo has BBQ Chicken, Kalbi and Beef ribs. I highly recommend you give this place a try. Your taste buds, your tummy and your wallet will thank you. Also you might try calling in your order ahead of time to avoid a wait as food is made to order.“

“Been coming to this spot for years! I do about, it had been a while, no real reason, but today I saw their banner... "$5 1/3lb BURGER" and I had to resist stomping on the brakes and causing a collision, lol! I already knew they had GREAT BBQ at good prices, and after the miserable experience at Win-DON'T just a few minutes west of Outdoor Grill, this was beyond redemption! You should make it a point to try this spot if you're a meat-etarian.I came in about 6:30p on a cool Saturday night (today, to be honest), aaaand...The car wash was closed, so parking was super easy. There were several staff working to fill pickup and delivery orders, possibly catering? Dining area was clean. A dude was grilling outside, unironically. There was no line, and I was able to order immediately. Not gonna ding a star for the person on register, I know I'm asking for a $5 burger. You WILL have to be very clear on this, I had to repeat "$5 burger" more than once, the first time it was rung in as another thing. It's worth the effort.It was ready in a few minutes, and I took it to go. $6.33 out the door with cheese and taxes included. No BS, no upsell, just a damn fine burger at a great price. I gave them $8 and said keep the change.I got home 10-15 minutes later and it was still warm, even with the convertible top down! The toasted bun was... kinda brioche? It was just right, fresh, and just a little "pop". There was a thousand Island kind of sauce, just enough. There was also fresh lettuce, and the cheese was good. They didn't skimp on the patty (like the paltry fly infested crap at Win-Dow)... it was THICK, juicy, and cooked to a proper "medium well". I would've liked it medium rare, but that's just me; few places ask how you want it done anymore. No complaints, it was quality beef, just a little crispy, but not overly charred. I regret not taking a pic of it, but I was just so damn excited to see if it was as good as it looked, I couldn't wait. And it was much better than expected!I'll get a pic next time, I'm for sure going to make it a point to be at Outdoor Grill for this fantastic deal frequently.Cue the saxophone solo, please.“

“Wow what an amazing meal! This place a delightful, bare bones cook your own fine meat to your precise liking. Excellent customer service and soju and sake. We came here for a birthday, and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Had recently visited New Orleans and needed something in the SoCal area to scratch that itch. Had the seafood gumbo and a shrimp po'boy with mac and cheese. The owner was lovely and incredibly nice. Food did take a bit of time but so worth it. The shrimp in the po'boy was well seasoned and had amazing flavor. The gumbo was phenomenal as well, packed with everything you'd expect giving you a nice warm fuzzy feeling after eating it. Mac and cheese was great too, rich in flavor. Will drive up from OC to eat here again soon.“

“Outstanding professional staff. Both staff servers were courteous, responsive, and really worked to satisfy all customer needs. Food preparation, display, and quality were exceptional. Open fire cooking is enjoyable and we left with full stomachs and are definitely looking forward to a return. BEST PART, it was our Anniversary dinner - what a way to make for a pleasant memory! Thank you to the entire staff.“

“The location is small but it was an amazing experience. The workers were all super tentative I didn't get a chance to call them over because they came as soon as they saw us slowing down on food. Everything was delicious I highly recommend for a date bight or a nice quiet dinner with a friend“

“Definitely worth getting! Love the flavor , the brisket was absolutely the best I EVER had. The pulled pork was on point , Mac&cheese , potato salad , beans all had flavor and richness unlike others. Hats off to the bbq master. On another side I don't recommend the chicken it's very basic. Especially next to the colossal tastes the other meats bring to the table.“

“?? CROATIA (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - When you see the large roof-mounted rooster crowing over Pacific Avenue in San Pedro, you know you have arrived at the right place. What began as a poultry butcher in 1922 (yes, 102 years ago!) became more of a fast food restaurant in the 1950’s and 1960’s when they changed locations twice. This gave the opportunity for the Croatian immigrant owners to sneak some foods from back home onto the menu.“

“We had a large Slingshot group that was eager to eat. They accomodated us and we all LOVED our selections. We did have a long wait but BOYYY was it worth it. The mimosas are delicious and the side dishes are a good portion, the owners hospitality ended our experience with smiles. Long post but I bottom line is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I live in the I.E. and cant wait to come back again.“

“Legit filipino street food! They make sure everything is boiled and cleaned well before prepping the skewers for grilling. The suka (vinegar) is exactly like what you get in the Philippines. I brought my friends here and they were really impressed. They said they would 100% choose this over Dollar Hits. Honorable mention to their Goto Abot Langit, it was really good and when they saw I was taking my tiny bit of leftovers home, they refilled my container just because. The owners are really nice and accommodating. It may be a little slow but people need to consider it is a very small business, they do everything themselves so please be patient and kind to them.“

“Don’t get it twisted every L & L Hawaiian is not the same. This is the only one that cooks the curry shrimp right. It’s a hit 10 out of 10 every time. It’s uinder great management. The macaroni in the dinner plate is so good I’ve ordered more. It it's good hot and cold. You should visit. When you do tell them Omar sent you.“

“The most that I can say is upon entering the restaurant at first, the lady, who served as the manager/chef/waitress, was pretty busy and we waited a few minutes before she could assists us. But when she was done with what she was doing, she was extremely friendly, helpful, and informative. Once we gathered all of our meal's ingredients, we handed them to the manager/waitress/chef and she got to work on them. I was amazed that the grill on which she cooked was shaped like a turtle shell. Interesting! A little of our ingredients made alot of food to enjoy. The food was great and the lady explained that she only serve healthy ingredients. Even the drinks were natural. We had tea with cane (not white) sugar. The sweet manager/chef/waitress sat at another table and talked to us and we enjoyed both her company and the meals.“

“This is my favorite Korean barbecue spot in LA. Hands down I've been coming here for a number of years in the quality of the food and the taste not to mention the delicious kimchi. I constantly bring family members and other folks just to eat here and I will drive from out of town 2 and 1/2 mi just have dinner here.“

“Driven by this place so many times I decided to stop today. My son is a fan of beef jerky and was happy they had samples. He tried a few but decided on the one in the picture. Service is friendly and welcoming. My son must of really liked his beef jerky because it was gone shortly after we got home.“

“Lee's tofu is a small Korean restaurant in Gardena. It is located in a plaza with other restaurants so parking can be a little difficult depending on the day or at night time, however parking is free and for an unlimited amount of time. This restaurant is small but the servers are very friendly. They also have a lot of banchan or sides and are more than happy to give extra. I love getting bibimbap on the hot stone, it is my absolute favorite. I will definitely keep coming back.“

“I absolutely love this place. The food was delicious and the environment inviting and enjoyable. We have been here a few times and everyone of them has been fantastic. The food is delicious and fun. The bbq style is great for promoting conversation and fun. Highly recommend it!“

“Honestly this is the second time I've ordered from here and tried other menu items Get here asap for a delicious meal I think everything on this menu is worth a try . Staff is pleasant and prompt. Price point DOES NOT make you feel like it's an armed robbery. Portions are filling. Let's talk about those backed though Get yourself a couple of serving because you're not gonna wanna share yours. Restaurant is clean ambiance is quick casual.“

“Pastor taco with grilled pork cilantro & onion was delicious and tasty and has a home coiked feeling Marco is a talented chef who makes a variety of dishes at this conveniently located restaurant in Lincoln marina Del Rey . #BBQ #ribs #marinadelrey #bbqribs #mexicanfood #bbqburritos #avysribs #ad #thumzup @Avys.ribs #BBQ #ribs #marinadelrey #bbqribs #areamexicanfood #bbqburritos #avysribs“

“First time being there and we ❤️ it. VERY friendly and lovely family owned restaurants I love that they have an couple's and group menu for one price. They cook the meat in front... and yes the have different selection of meat and huge varieties of sides that come with it. Everything fresh and hot. This will be me and my fiance go to spot for date night. We never had grilled ? and grilled ? before. It was great.“

“Definitely a great place to eat. The staff is not very helpful, you have to spend time waving them down in order to get your drinks filled. The quality of the meats are great, the food is good because you cook it yourself. I can definitely say we had our fair share of food, we went away full. It's a very busy place so if you plan to go make sure you leave time to wait before being seated.“

“First time back since the remodel. Prices have gone up. They used to be like $12 a person but now they are $23.99 a person. Food wise it is still delicious and simple. We always get the brisket, beef bulgogi, and beef belly. Easy and simple choice with rice paper. So, if you are around the Gardena area looking for a quick bite and craving kbbq then Furusato might be a good option for you!! #AndrewApproved ????“

“One of the few authentic Korean BBQ places on the Westside. Great quality and good service. The Kobe beef dinner for two is pricey but can actually feed 3 for $130. The servers don't give you a hard time about it either which is nice. If you need to order more meat on the side it's a good deal. Our only disappointment was that our favorite cut, the boneless short ribs are no longer marinated and were less tasty.“
