50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Hollywood

“Loved this place so much! Highly recommended“

“Date night here was so perfect! We loved grilling together, and making our own tacos was adorable and fun. The atmosphere was vibey, with music not too loud, so we could still chat. The staff was sweet, checking in without being too much. Prices were reasonable, considering the quality of the meat. We both left full and happy.. Such a cute spot.“

“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.“

“Just had a self Omakase date and I have to say, the detail that was poured into each dish, flavor wise, was really special. Even just the sashimi pieces themselves really had great complimentary garnish flavors that weren’t even noticeable just looking at the fish.

Great service and throughly enjoyed.“

“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow“

“Door dash.
First timer ordering at Big Ant's. Baby back ribs: falling off the bone is as advertised. Im really hoping it will always be consistent.the texture was perfect. I unfortunately have very low tolerance for spicy and they accommodated me with the tangent bbq sauce. I wish you guys success. They've been open for 5 years real close to where I live and if it weren't for a random door dash urge to look at bbq, I wouldn't have discovered Ant's. Thanks again guys. Yall made my lunch wonderful today. Soul lifted 🙏🏼“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“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. The beef, especially the galbi, the shrimp, takoyaki, and everything is fantastic. We can grab most of the food and the premium food came out very fast. Will definitely come back.“

“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.

Ray's legacy and legendary cuisine flourishes on, for the world to behold and enjoy.

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

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“Love this place! The food is very authentic and high quality meat. The servers are also very tentative. We ordered the small beef combo. The soup at the end is very tasty but we are way too full. It can serve at least 3-4 ppl. Def recommended!“

“First restaurant I ate in 1982 and the bbq is still great.“

“It's down and dirty, proletariat BBQ at its finest. THAT's the secret weapon. Simplicity of design and meats that are properly seasoned, then smoked to perfection, with sauce that's on-point. I grew up eating BBQ. This place rocks.“

“A small restaurant with some of the best food we've found in the LA area. I tried the pelmeni, which are dumplings baked in the best blend of cheese and spices you've ever had. At one point, my cousin said I was crying; I blame the fact I had eaten a pepper earlier in the meal.

Wheelchair accessibility: Helped my 96-year-old grandmother in and out via the two different entries. Both are somewhat narrow, but fully accessible.“

“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!“

“Great food good friendly staff“

“We had the most incredible dining experience at Cheong Wun BBQ Buffet Restaurant! From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed with warm smiles and unparalleled hospitality. The cozy, vintage vibe of the place immediately made us feel at home.

The food selection was absolutely top-notch—every bite was a journey through authentic Korean flavors. The marinated beef, spicy chicken wings, and tender ribs were simply divine, and the banchan (side dishes) added an exquisite balance to the meal. The highlight? The attentive staff not only served us but also helped grill the meats to perfection, offering tips on how to enjoy the full burst of flavors with lettuce wraps, bean paste, and other condiments. The seaweed soup at the end was the perfect comforting finish!

Service here is beyond exceptional. The staff, especially the kind ajumma, treated us like family, making sure our table was never empty and that we had everything we needed. It’s clear they take pride in every aspect of the experience they provide.

Although the parking is a bit limited, it’s a minor trade-off for what you get. Cheong Wun BBQ is a hidden gem and a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Korean BBQ with outstanding service and unbeatable value. We will absolutely be back, and we can’t recommend this place highly enough!“

“Fresh food, good quality, recommended“

“I brought my grandmother, aunt, and husband here and they loved it! The quality of the beef was amazing.
We got the A combo (medium) and it was so much food! We got cold noodles and 육회 as well. Our server was amazing too!! So nice and very clean :) will come back again!“

“Our favorite (non AYCE) Korean bbq (thanks to our friend Heny for the recommendation) Great quality of meat, great service, and great ambiance. So many other options if you’re not feeling Korean Bbq, we like to order their soup and spicy cold noodle. And we love that it’s located in our favorite Madang plaza in Ktown.“

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

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

“Coconut beef adobo and cornbread bibingka are outstanding!“

“I live in Lancaster && I don’t mind the driving to come and eat here when I am craving it; IS WELL WORTH IT!!! To be a fast food spot the food is super delicious, very fresh and well cook on the spot. The staff is always in a good mood and always suggesting us to try different sauces. Now that they added pineapple to their selection I am loving it even more. Keep the great Customer Service up, that’s a big Plus.

Kid-friendliness: Is an open mall food court.“

“Delicious Memphis style BBQ!“

“Just finished a fabulous dinner at the DTLA location! We got the Block Bowl and a Combo plate with Brisket and Pulled Pork - everything was delicious, the service was really warm and friendly, and the whole vibe was great! We’ve been eyeing this place for awhile and will definitely be back!!“

“It’s a very friendly place. The The people who work here are very polite nice and very pleasing. It’s 100+ service. I really love it. It was our first time and we were celebrating my wife’s birthday. They give us a court encourage to visit this place. I’m pretty sure you’re gonna be amazed with the food and service“

“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.“

“One of the BEST BBQ'S in Los Angeles!“

“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!“

“weeks ago i was scrolling through and reading posts in review just like you're doing now, i had no intention of investing a penny in Bitcoin platform. i just enjoyed reading testimonies of different people talking about Mrs. Olivia Ryan trading platform, it all seem like a play, I took a bold step to invest with Mrs Olivia who i've read so much good reports about. I invested with $5000 and in seven (7) working days I received my profit of $27,500 and I keep reinvesting and my… See more“

“Had to get my Squid Game fix before Season 3 drops, and what better way than trying the same grilled intestines that Lee Byung-hun’s character would approve of! 😆

Before we even ordered our mains, I was absolutely HOOKED on the honey-glazed pumpkin banchan (side dish). I’m not even kidding - I went through FIVE plates of this stuff and couldn’t stop myself. I’m officially declaring that KingChang has the best banchan game in LA’s Korean food scene! 🥇

The beef intestine set was absolutely incredible! The combination of caramelized onions + melted cheese was pure genius. Picture this: perfectly grilled, crispy-edged intestines dipped in gooey cheese with those sweet caramelized onions on top. Each bite was so good it felt like I had anime sparkles and dramatic background music playing (if you know, you know 😉). This is basically the Korean BBQ version of In-N-Out’s Animal Style, and I am HERE for it!

The intestines were grilled to perfection - crispy exterior with that perfect chew, no weird smell or texture that sometimes puts people off. The cheese wasn’t overpowering, just the right amount of richness to complement the meat.

Big bonus - they’re open until 2AM, making this the perfect late-night spot when you’re craving some serious Korean comfort food after a night out. Finally, a place that understands LA’s night owl culture!“

“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“

“Ribs and chocolate cake, and sweet smashed potatoes and mac n cheese were superb. As was the tri tip salad. Service was the best. I wish I could teach ALL restaurants how to make regular mashed potatoes, especially if they aren't serving gravy. Never the less, 5 stars.“

“I recommend this place for sure 🥰🥰🥰“

“Great food and staff! You guys rock !!!“

“amazing food and good for family“

“Tonight we were blessed by the presence of Royce 🙏 He greeted us with care and was super nice. We purchased the Ahgassi combo and everything was super delicious because it was cooked well by Royce. We also ordered the Dae Gopchang and the Yook Hwe (raw meat) which were also delicious. The meat was well attended to and the atmosphere was very chill. The music playing in the background was great because the playlist was FIRE 🎶🔥 If you want a good experience at this restaurant, you should definitely request Royce to cook for you! He made our first dinner in Los Angeles an unforgettable one! 🫶“

“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.👍🏻“

“Was a really fantastic experience. The wait staff was extremely courteous, nice and friendly. The food was delicious- the meat and banchan was extremely fresh- was definitely a fan of their kimchi! Also, they were generous with time. Will definitely be visiting again soon! 감사합니다!“

“Love it mane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’“

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

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

“Great food, service and ambiance. The best bartenders!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Definitely a bit of a hole-in-the-wall—not the nicest or cleanest place, but the food is delicious and very affordable. It used to be $13.99 for all-you-can-eat before the pandemic, and you didn’t have to pay upfront, which was nice. Be prepared for a long wait to be seated, but the staff is friendly and attentive, which makes up for it.“
