“I’ve been searching for a great Filipino restaurant and this place is legit!
Flavors and execution were on point and the service/vibe of the restaurant were also excellent. I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.“

“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! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

“Stopped by for a quick meal after shopping and found this place. I was skeptical, because alot of places I've been to, the ribs were dry, but not this place. The ribs were very tender and full of flavor. The gentlemen at the counter was very personalble and friendly. Will stop by again if I'm in the area“

“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.👍🏻“

“OK, there are a lot of Korean barbecue place with all different price point and meat quality.
This place, definitely deserve a five star because
First, their price point is good, we order a combo for six people ($200) and we were really full, the combo came with the steam egg and soup that’s a great value. The meat is not exceptional but I think it’s great for the price.
Second, they have their own private parking, how awesome is that?, I hate looking for parking in LA or some places force you to do valet parking!
Third, they cook for you , the services post office how may I help you? Hello oh hello Terrence yeah what happened? Oh yeah yeah yeah sure OK got it. OK no worries. Bye were great. The waiter was very polite.“

And don’t forget the Cole Slaw which deserves capital letters!! The Mac and Cheese (not like any you’ve ever had!) was comped by our new friend who was our ordering coach and it stole the show!! This place is new and Jensen is a class act and his food is BBQ but kicked up a notch !! Congrats Jensen!!!“

“A very delicious wrapped shawarma. The sauce is tasty, and the meat is super fresh and marinated. Personally, I would have added more vegetables. But overall, I really enjoyed it. The staff is very welcoming and friendly; they speak English, Armenian, and Russian. I recommend it 100%.“

“This location is absolutely one of the best all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurants I’ve been to! The meat was high-quality and tender, and the sides bar had a huge variety of Korean dishes, making it feel almost like a buffet. The staff were very kind and the service was excellent. Definitely one of my favorite Korean BBQ spots!“

“Think of this as a grab and go spot. There's a small amount of seating outside. I didn't like the tri tip sandwich I got and the macaroni n cheese was good. I plan to go back though because there's something else I wanted to try. I love their selection of cobblers too.“

“Amazing food, so worth the price as well! The 대창 is so delicious!! I have twin babies and the restaurant was very accommodating to my family & I with our stroller. We really appreciated it since we previously came from a way more spacious outdoor restaurant that gave us horrible service due to us having babies with us. So we left and decided to come to Yangmani instead to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Will be back for the amazing food and wonderful welcoming service from the staff! Thank you!“

“If you want a place to hang out after an activity with friends and eat good food while listening to some relaxing karaoke THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Yes there are busy times for this place because this place has great food, service, and atmosphere! I've been here with different sets of friends and I have never had a bad time...though parking may be a bit hard it's worth it. Also the prices for everything are fair and I don't end up spending too much especially in a group.“

“The food and service is amazing! I love the different types of combos they have and also the gopchang is so good (get both the large and small intesines)!!!! They give you a bunch of banchan and some extra stuff like kimchi pancake! Ask for Sean, he is so friendly and helpful!
I would recommend 10/10!“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“The Food:
The Order: We ordered the Type C combo for 4 people and added an extra order of sauced galmaegi (pork skirt meat) along with two noodle dishes.
The Taste: Everything tasted really good, and their banchan (side dishes) were excellent as well, rounding out the meal perfectly.
The Vibe & Service:
Atmosphere: This is a really nice place to go for a group dinner.
Wait Time & Staff: We walked right in with no need for an appointment/reservation. While the dining market feels a little slow right now, Sookdal is still putting out very good quality food and has a highly attentive staff.
Logistics:
Parking: Be prepared for valet parking only, which runs about $6.
Verdict:
A reliable, high-quality Korean BBQ spot with great service that makes group dining incredibly easy.“

“We ate inside at the counter and tried a little bit of a few things off the menu. The sweet & spicy fried chicken and fried chicken dumplings were delicious. 😋🍴 We also tried the bulgogi and spicy chicken bowl and both were so delicious. As a side note, the man that waited on us (not sure if it was the owner or not) was very nice and hospitable. ☺️“

“Late-night hot pot + BBQ buffet with solid seafood
Went for the hot pot & BBQ buffet combo. You can pick one broth or go with a double/triple split. Lots of options on the buffet line.
A few standouts:
- Argentine red shrimp – plump, firm, with a nice snap
- Frog legs – surprisingly huge
- Oysters – fat and briny
- Grilled eggplant – soft and fully soaked in garlic sauce; every bite was pure flavor
- Grilled shrimp and grilled chicken skin– also really good
The sauce station was clean, and sodas are self-serve. They're open until 1 or 2 AM – perfect for late-night cravings.“

“The price in the post was not updated. BBQ beef is not $10 but it’s $15 which still a good price. They have a tempting ice tea jar, but you need to know it’s unsweetened. They serve it in a hot plate which is good to keep the food hot but make sure you’re not taking too long to eat it cause the beef will get dry. It might be good to ask them to serve on a plate if you want to take your time“

“Nice Chinese BBQ spot to come with friends. We ordered grilled fish, skewers, scallops, noodles, and a few other dishes. The portions were pretty big, and the grilled fish had a lot of flavor. The skewers were also well seasoned. Overall, it was a good place for a casual dinner or late-night BBQ. I would come back again with friends.“

“We are BBQ folks. We smoke our own and have traveled the country trying different spots. There is so much that goes into BBQ. For those of us who truly love it; it's an art form and science of cuts, color, bark, brine -- the whole deal. We've experienced much of the local (Southern California) flavor and have found a few spots that excel. We moved up to Pasadena recently and were Yelping to see if there was a BBQ spot up here that we could try. When we came upon Mission I was skeptical. It didn't make sense that a BBQ spot would do catering and weekend farmer's market stuff. The only way to see if the reviews were legit was to give it a shot. We found the location at the farmer's market tucked away and because we were late in the day, had to pick from the meats that were left. Ribs, brisket, mac & cheese -- and the two sauces they stocked (mild & spicy). Our order was bundled and we brought it home and launched into the meal. Brisket -- soft, moist, flavorful. Brisket is not easy to cook. It can get dry and -- sometimes greasy from the fat. This was none of that. It was excellent -- some of the best ever. 5/5!!! Ribs -- very good. Solid. My personal perfect-preference is ribs that are just a touch less moist -- but we are talking the difference between 98/100 or 94/100. They were solid. Great flavor. Mac & Cheese. Excellent. Texture, color, flavor, taste -- all outstanding. 5/5!!! Sauce. We had a cup of each of their offerings: spicy and mild. Each had a lovely smokey flavor. The spicy had a nice kick without blowing the back out of your throat. Again -- this is a little nitpicky, but we find the perfect sauce to be a touch less sticky. We've had great first meals and horrible second meals at certain spots and horrible first meals and great second meals. We like to try the food several times before writing reviews so we ordered again for another experience. This time we added baked beans, burnt ends, and smoked chicken to the meal. Second time was exactly as great as the first time. Everything was solid, solid, solid. Now -- the thing that gives Mission six-stars is the folks behind the food. These people are dedicated to making a contribution to the world through food as few are. They are kind, generous, dedicated -- truly amazing!!!! Judith and her family are the kind of folks I want to invite over to have the food we just bought from them!!! Wonderful, wonderful people!! Thank you so much Mission!!!! We are dedicated fans and followers for as long as you make food!!!“
