Korean Barbecue Restaurants near La Canada Flintridge, CA

“Like the food clean place the waiter and waitress are courteous“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.👍🏻“

“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! 🫶“

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

“Good service and experience for Korean BBQ.specially the rice paper loved by many diner.“

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“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!“

“The place to go for delicious pork kbbq! I highly recommend the thick pork belly, marinated pork ribs, and the corn cheese. The pork marinade was flavorful and not as sweet as other kbbq places. They give a nice variety of side dishes which were really good with the pork belly.

The service was also top notch. Very attentive and friendly.“

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“We loved everything about this place! We sat outside and were seated quickly on a Saturday with no reservations, we did get there right when they opened. Service was exceptional, staff was awesome and we will be visiting again!!“

“Loved it here! Easy to make a reservation over the phone. Staff was very attentive, helpful, and kind. I was able to enjoy their premium AYCE meats for free because of their monthly giveaways. My review comes from honesty, not for the sake of it being free. I really liked the brisket and the marinated bulgogi. The brisket was soft, the bulgogi had a great flavor. Side dishes were nice, I especially enjoyed the cucumbers and the fish cakes. I honestly could eat a whole bowl of just the fish cakes. The kimchi was crunchy and flavorful. The spicy pork bibimbap was good, had a generous serving of pork, and is a big enough portion to share between two people. I appreciated the casual atmosphere, there was music, but it was playing softly enough that I didn't have to shout to be heard around our table. Whoever made the playlist has good music taste. There was a decent number of TVs as well playing the NBA playoffs. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and I recommend it to anyone looking to try it! :) Thank you for the great experience.“

“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.“

“Han Korean BBQ House is a hidden gem. For under $40 a person you’re getting great quality all-you-can-eat food.

Some things to note:

* Surprisingly high-quality sushi included; better and fresher than some sushi spots.
* Meat was incredibly fresh and tasted great .
* For our party of 3, they changed the grill grates four times during the time we were there! This is a huge plus because unlike other places that leave you with charred grease from reusing the same grates over and over, this place actually replaces it consistently.

A must-visit for top-notch Korean BBQ, great service, and incredible value. I will definitely visit again. 5/5.“

“I’ve tried their food several times and every dish so far has been really good, fresh and yummy!🤩 the service is good, there’s side dishes and prices are amazing for the portions you get. My sister and I love this place and come often. It’s definitely a hidden gem!!!🍜 10/10“

“Amazing experience. My mum and I went today and we were not disappointed. It’s a little more expensive than a regular AYCE spot but the price difference is certainly made up for by the quality of meat and the service- 10000% worth it . I shall most definitely be back. Our server Jarek was amazing and gave us some great recommendations . Thank you !“

“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.“

“Great dining experience! We loved the food and service.“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“Pretty good Korean BBQ spot with an all-you-can-eat option in LA. I really enjoyed the food here. The meat was good, high quality, well-marinated, and cooked up perfectly on the grill. Everything we tried had great flavor. Personally, I really liked bulgogi and cow tongues. They were sweet and flavorful. The side dishes and sauces were good too. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.

The restaurant itself is beautiful. There are lots of tables, and the vibe is pretty cool, without being too loud. I really enjoyed it. We arrived around 8 PM and ended up waiting about 45 minutes for a table, which is okay since we just walked in. There is also pretty nice area for waiting. The grill in the restaurant worked perfectly.

The service was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. They came by our table often to check in, refill sides, and ask if we wanted to order more meat, which I really appreciate. They also took the time to explain the different menu options, which was great.

It costs around $50 per person, and I would say it’s definitely worth it for the quality of food and service you get.

Overall, it’s a great spot for Korean BBQ. I’ll definitely come back if I will be in that area and will be craving for some Korean BBQ. Very good nice!!!“

“My husband and I absolutely love this place . The service is amazing they are very attentive. The atmosphere is also awesome, really great lighting and amazing music. And the food is all amazing as well, especially the cucumbers from the salad bad! They are so tasty and pair perfectly with the meats and rice!“

“todo muy rico y fresco y muy atentos los meseros 💯“

“first time visit and we'll be coming back the food was great and the service was better very friendly and cordial.“

“All you can eat for $40👏🏽👏🏽“

“My daughter and her boyfriend first introduced us to this place; we assume its more of a mom and pop Korean BBQ; we go here now for all our family celebrations/birthdays; usually a short wait , side dishes are good, meat portions are generous (they don’t nickle and dime you like some places), and service is usually pretty good - they will occasionally stop by to flip your meats or help cut when they are not too busy. We gladly drove the extra 40 minutes rather than wait in line somewhere else for 1-2 hours. They don’t have a large capacity for seating, and we selfishly hope the crowds stay away but of course want the best for their little restaurant. There is a large parking lot with a security guard and a great coffee shop next door for the road.“

“I’ve eaten many Dak Galbi restaurants in Korea and made it many times at home. Overall this store I would say is good but not amazing. It could benefit from a little stronger overall flavors. One of the only Dak Galbi restaurants I’ve seen in the US so I really enjoyed eating it here in LA.“

“This is the most authentic kbbq I’ve had in LA. I used to live in Korea and often have a hard time finding the same flavors and genuine banchan. This place had everything I used to eat, with large portion sizes. The meat quality was great, the options were plenty, and the flavors were amazing. The price was also very reasonable. We got the combo for 30 people and it was 30/person plus tip. Service was also top notch. Really enjoyed this experience and will be back!“

“The owner is so kind and the meat is so delicious!
They kept checking to see if I was missing anything, and the location was great, so I was full and had a delicious meal!
I am satisfied with the taste and service as well as the cost-effectiveness for the expensive American prices!!“
