Korean Barbecue Restaurants near La Palma, CA

“Quality food, excellent customer service, and family atmosphere. I recommend trying the seafood or vegetable pancake and getting it crispy. The purple rice is a nice difference and a little healthier than the standard white rice. Used to love their aloe vera side dish, but unfortunately they don't have it anymore. Grace and Tim, the owners, makes you feel welcomed like you've been going here for years. Highly recommend you give them a try!“

“You know this place is good when you see all the ahjummas queued up LOL. Honestly some of the best bibimnaengmyeon I have had in the US. Also the banchan was insaneeeeely good and free refills. One thing though is that the meat was good but for the 3 person combo the portion size is pretty small. But I would definitely come back! Get here early so you don’t wait in line.“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“Amazing food love Korean fusion especially the bulgogi burrito 🌯🌯🌯the burrito is so packed it will likely fall apart as the tortilla cannot contain all the incredible food and delectable ingredients. I got the bulgogi and it was perfect. Juicy, just the perfect amount of sweetness. A generous proportion and well balanced with the egg, veggies etc.. a perfect medley and entirely satisfying.“

“The staff was very friendly, and the meat quality was excellent for the price. Great value overall.
They also have a self-serve bar with a variety of side dishes, which was a nice bonus. It made the whole dining experience even better. I would definitely come back!“

“Best Korean BBQ in OC! Love the food and the service. Did i mention free Thrifty's ice cream?“

“Servers were so kind and sweet and always had a really bright smile, I’m mainly writing this review because the servers were so nice to us! The meat is also very high quality and fresh, the galbi, rib fingers, and the beef tongue were especially tasty. They also have free self serve ice cream as a desert after you’re finished eating. My mom was eating the ice cream outside the restaurant and one of the workers noticed she didn’t know where to throw it away and even took our trash for us after we left the restaurant. Really appreciate how sweet the workers were and how high quality the meat was, highly recommend coming here!“

“The quality of the pork belly was excellent, and the service of having the staff grill the meat for us made the experience very comfortable. The variety of pickled side dishes was impressive and paired perfectly with the meat. Both the doenjang-jjigae and kimchi-jjigae were absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself was spacious and very clean. One thing I wish was that the staff could have been a bit friendlier, but overall, if you’re looking for authentic Korean-style pork BBQ, I’d definitely recommend this place.“

“My husband and I come here every 2–3 weeks whenever we're craving Korean BBQ. The quality of the meat is always consistent, which is something we really appreciate. No matter how many times we visit, the food never disappoints.
The staff are always friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making every visit enjoyable from start to finish. We always leave feeling satisfied and happy.
As someone who grew up enjoying Korean BBQ in Korea, this place brings back the flavors I remember. Whenever I'm craving authentic Korean BBQ, this is our go-to spot. In the Buena Park and Fullerton area, Ribs & Co is simply the best. Highly recommended! Ribs & Co Premium meats and a focus on authentic Korean BBQ are part of what makes the restaurant stand out.“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates“

“My family and I were on vacation from New Mexico and had always wanted to try Korean BBQ. While searching for places to eat, this restaurant popped up with great reviews, so we decided to give it a try. This was our very first Korean BBQ experience, and at first we had no idea what we were doing! We asked one of the female servers for help, and I'm so disappointed that I didn't get her name because she was absolutely amazing. She gave us recommendations on what to order, explained how everything worked, and every single thing she suggested was delicious! Once we got the hang of ordering and cooking our food, we were in food heaven. Our server, Eric, was incredibly polite, attentive, and easy to talk to. We had a great conversation, and he made our experience even better.

1000/10 - I highly recommend this place! We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.“

“The meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.“

“Delicious kbbq at a reasonable price! Staff is very nice and attentive always offering to switch grills and helping to cook meats
Here are my favs from the menu. Also like the selection of Banchan they have all the favorites (potato salad, fishcake, cucumbers, and Mac salad) and more
La marinated Galbi (the best l've ordered)
Marinated rib finger
Kimchi fried rice
Marinated pork belly
Pork jowl
Soy marinated rib
Ok (not to right home about)
The rib steak (meat was pretty chewy but the portion is very big
Also enjoyed the self serve bar which has some hot items like fried rice,, calamari, dumplings, etc There are also some cheaper cuts of meat like pork belly/jowl/chicken plain and marinated too if you can't wait for the servers to bring you the meats
Overall I would be back and I'm very satisfied on my meal here“

“Eat there only if you want to be treated like dirt. I am sick and tired of their way of treating their customers. They don't do reservations and their wait system is unforgiving and insane. 1. Long wait times like 1.5 hours 2. But with that long wait time, they only give you 10 minutes to "all be there" when they tell you table is ready. 3. That's not even the worst. They put a "wait time" estimate near their check in table. So you would think that is a solid guideline right? But no. The REAL wait time can swing a good 30 minutes both ways. Say they put "Current Wait time is 1.5 hours" you could get a call at 1 hour mark. And then they give you 10 minutes to get your party to be there. And they give you hell if your party can't make it like it's your fault that you don't have crystal ball to tell that your table will be ready in one hour’s time. I have tolerated it coz their food is actually really good. Meat quality is good etc etc. What broke the camels back today is. I checked in at 5:45 today. Wait time is 1.5 hours. So estimate sit time is 7:15 right? When I get the text that table is ready at 7:05 I thought all is awesome. AND THEN they told me that are actually having a staff party tonight and last call is at 8. That leaves my party less than an hour to do an AYCE dinner. I was furious. So I question them, “Why didn't you tell your customer that when they checked in?” "Well, we put the notice on the door. You didn't see it! So… 🤷🏻‍♀️” 1. There are a bunch of white and black notices all over the door and check in area. 2. And yes. My eye sight is not awesome. I didn't see it. But shouldn't it be THEIR JOB to let customer know VERBALLY when they check in that they are shifting the last call time an hour early? That’s basic decency. I wasted almost 2 hours there and by then it’s like lines all over the place for any place. I am never going back again for a restaurant that treats their customer like dirt so they can make money off me any more.“

“It’s expensive, but the quality of the meat is excellent. Don’t compare this place to AYCE KBBQ. I come here once or twice a year because it’s far, but it’s worth the trip. The bean stew tasted different from last year—this time it seemed overboiled or not freshly made.“

“Excellent food. 👍. Will come back again.“

“꽃살 here has to be the best in town I've tried. Plus the staff is always great and so helpful. I just wish sometimes the light coming in wasn't blinding, but they do have blinds to cover it up. Otherwise our go-to spot for beef in town“

“The food was really good! The waiters were all attentive and very quick in making sure we have all of our sides and drinks refilled. The inside looks like a fancy restaurant and it made me feel like I should have worn something nice. But in reality it's just the vibe. Everybody was comfortable. I would definitely come back again“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“We had an amazing dinner at Seoul Belly! Our server, Sam was kind and often checked in on us to make sure the food never burned. The food was delicious and the servings were plentiful! The mala intestines were mouthwateringly numbing and the cold noodles were perfectly chewy. Adding rice cakes to our intestines was the right move as they crisped up and soaked up the chili oil. The corn cheese was very satisfying but got a little dry near the end. We will definitely be back the next time we crave intestines.“

“Came here for dinner time during Christmas week with my family. We were a group of 10 and we came right at peak dinner time, which honestly sounds like a terrible idea but thankfully they were able to sit us within 40 minutes. We were sat at two tables and had a burner each. The service was great, especially with how busy they were that night. The KBBQ was super yummy and I especially loved the steamed egg, I ordered two total. The house salad was so so good- I wish someone would tell me the recipe (pls) because I ate the whole bowl. The meat came out at a decent time and I enjoyed sides. They also offered buldak ramen, which my younger cousins enjoyed- so I’m sure other parents or family members may wonder what else kids may enjoy here. I will definitely be back!“

“The side dishes and giblets seasoning were so delicious, and the unglazed cuts were easy to eat, and the water sashimi was also a delicacy.“

“Such a nice family owned establishment! The food was so tasty, and the woman at the counter was the absolute kindest most hospitable lady! We ordered the pork belly fries and chicken quesadilla, both were 10/10 and left us satisfied. Huge portions full with lots of meat left us full and needing a Togo box. 100% a business I want to support! Highly recommend“

“The experience here was seriously unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, the staff took care of everything so smoothly and professionally. They grilled the meat perfectly, changed the grill without us even asking, and made sure every bite tasted fresh and flavorful. Nothing ever felt rushed, and the attention to detail really stood out throughout the whole meal.

The quality of the meat was excellent, but the service is what made this place feel different from other KBBQ spots. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure guests enjoyed their time here. The atmosphere was energetic but still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the food.

Every dish we tried was delicious, and the overall experience felt polished from beginning to end. It’s hard to find a restaurant where both the food and service leave such a strong impression, but this place absolutely delivered. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The food is so good and the people working there are the most friendliest I've ever met!!! I'm definitely coming back here for more food!!! 5 stars!!!“

“First time there was today. The portions were good size, and the food was delicious. The waitresses, that waited on us were very polite and asked us every few minutes If we needed anything. My son also liked the cuts of the meats and the sauces were very good along with all the sides. We will definitely be going back again. Also, for desert ice cream. Yum.“

“Best Korean BBQ dining experience! Great quality tasty value for money BBQ wahyu beef & ribeye“

“My family was the first to have dinner in this Korean BBQ restaurant. Their beef brisket, belly and bulgogi are absolutely delicious.Fresh, tender, and full of flavor. And the friendly staff are another big reason I will return and introduce it to my friends. They are friendly, fast and attentive!“

“I went there with my daughter she's been there before it was my first time. But it was great the food and prices was decent compared to other places I will definitely go back don't let the entrance fool you that place is big lots of room to sit. Love this place“

“All the meats were tasty !
Service was good and attentive. Only thing is the 2 Korean ladies didn’t have clearest English and were hard to understand. Other than that they were really nice and attentive. They have a fee they add as a tip just FYI. I’d come back for the big screen tvs and kbbq forsure !“

“This place is delicious! Meats are always good, appetizer selection is awesome, and they have fun drinks too. Service is a hit or miss, I feel like lunch tends to be better. It’s not for the staff’s lack of trying though as I feel like they are always just understaffed. That’s the only reason why I’m not giving 5 stars. I think if they had more people working shifts, we wouldn’t have to wait so long for someone to come by. Again, not the staff’s fault, more a management issue in my opinion as someone who comes here often.“

“Excellent restaurant ,meats seasoned to authentic Korean flavor and great service ask for Megan and she will make you feel welcome and appreciated. And if you’re new to the experience she will show you the experience of cooking on your own table…very good food,cheers“

“Had a great time with my fiancé the server was very respectful and fast I love going to GENS in Cerritos“
