“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.“

“Highly commendable service and absolutely stunning set menu! we went here for dinner last night for our Halloween date night! Their wagyu cuts are 100% top-grade and not just random "wagyu" that are below the marks. We tried their A5 and M9 meats, not to mention their salmon carpaccio that is to die for. Their sides are absolutely delicious and smart, one great example is their fried pork buns that is like a spin on soup dumplings. To top it off, you get premium ice cream in the end. Their salad is so good with yuzu and smokey salt, plus you get a chili mix too. They serve the meats fast plus your tablet menu is in front of you so you don't have to keep calling the staff to refill. I give them 9 stars! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

“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 🙏🏼“

“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.“

“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!“

“There were a lot of reviews saying the service was bad, expensive, etc., so I was wondering whether to come or not, but when I came, I tried the meat and it was delicious.
It's not expensive, the soybean paste stew and steamed egg are very delicious, and the cold noodles are highly recommended!! ?“

“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!“

“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.“

“We went for the first time today and boy was it delicious! I had the brisket bowl my husband had the 405 sandwich and we shared the brisket loaded fries, it was all delicious there was nothing left! Cudos to the person that is smoking the meats in Artesia location and the staff😊“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.👍🏻“

“The smell of fire is amazing. The raw meat is fresh. Even though I had leftovers, I wrapped them up and ate them slightly warmed the next day, they still tasted fresh. However, if you don't get there early and get a seat, you may have to wait a long time.“

“This is a place I have been frequenting for a long time. The meat quality is good, and I recommend the tripe hotpot as it is the most delicious.
The parking lot is small, but there is plenty of street parking space in the neighborhood.“

“The meat quality here was absolutely outstanding, and the service was impressively fast. Every staff member we encountered was kind and professional, but I have to give special recognition to Royce, who took care of our table. He grilled the meat to absolute perfection and made our experience even more enjoyable with his thoughtful and friendly conversations.
If you plan to visit, I highly recommend asking for a table in Royce’s section—you won’t be disappointed. His explanations and recommendations were by far the best I’ve experienced in any restaurant during my time living in the U.S.
For full transparency, we have no personal connection to him. We simply walked in on Mother’s Day without any expectations and left completely satisfied thanks to the exceptional service.
All the meats, including the tripe, were incredibly fresh—definitely not frozen—and grilled to perfection. We had such a wonderful experience here and will gladly return.“

“This place is great and something I've been wanting to try for awhile and glad I didn't finally.
I had their barbacoa tacos guisados which was very tender and with cheese added. Their salsa bar added a lot to flavor to it and the barbacoa was very tender. Their chikali taco comes with beans and guacamole and I got it with carne asada. The asada was charred very well and seasoned very well also. The beans went well with it and were not soggy. The staff was very nice and helpful in describing what was available, popular, recommended and what they thought it should have.
There's some seating next to their shop which is convenient. Their agua frescas was very good also according to my friend. It was his favorite place so far when I took him the multiple taco joints in east LA.
I'd come back here to try their breakfast/chorizo items“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 place for a group to hang out, drink, and eat some food. Very cool atmosphere. Like an old timey tavern from Chinese dramas. Good, fast service. Order food on a tablet. There are options to omit scallions and cilantro for people who don't like them. You can also call the servers from the tablet, otherwise they leave you alone. Had a live performer (singer) when we went.“

“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 place is an amazing dining experience. A great alternative to Korean bbq or hot pot, you order different skewers and let them cook in front of you, then enjoy. All the different meats and vegetables were delicious and offered lots of variety so there is something for everyone. The grill automatically twirls the kebobs giving an even cook, and the sauces and spices are very flavorful. Very helpful staff and clean interior.“

“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.“
