Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Lakewood, CA

“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.“

“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.“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

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

“Came here on a Thursday night since our daughters were visiting and we had yet to try. Place was pretty busy and we had reservations for a table. We were seated right away. Selections are varied and tiered. The premium selection gets you access to the meats on that tier as well as those on the tiers below. Banchan offering was good. The place is new and a bit trendy. Now the service well they could use an improvement by checking in more regularly. I felt like I had to chase down a staff member for more meats or refills on drinks. I get staff get busy but service is the role.“

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

“I really love this place. From the banchan to the tofu soup, everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The fishcake banchan was the best I've had from a restaurant, smoky and savory. I got the intenstine tofu soup and the intestine was cooked just right, cleaned and so tender. Spouse got the seafood hand cut noodles and the broth was wonderful. Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“A friend recommended this spot since I’m a huge fan of Korean BBQ, and it did not disappoint. The meat quality was top-notch and everything tasted amazing. What really stood out, though, was the staff—they were incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even better. Great food, great vibes. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, and all the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I felt really happy during my visit.
Especially Sofia, she was extremely friendly and provided amazing service. We will definitely be coming back again with friends!“

“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.“

“My second time and I know quality. The Bulgogi and teriyaki bowls are excellent. Freshly made to order and teriyaki sauce tastes home made. The area is not the greatest. But willing to eat here, well worth it. Portions are humongous as well.“

“I cannot stress how wonderfully pleasant the service was here. We were greeted by several people, and our server was extremely attentive and kind. Even folks that werent your server were super friendly. The food was SO damn good, and the experience was just a trip (in a awesome way!) definitley will be spreading the word and coming back with fam and friends.“

“We visited as a group of six. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained, with warm atmosphere. The food was good overall. They offer three main menu options: pork intestine, meat, and stew. One thing to note is that there are no small portions available, so it’s best to come with a group. That way, you can order and share different menus and try everything.“

“Gangnam House is a great spot in Orange County for Korean BBQ. The atmosphere is clean and chic. And the service is friendly and prompt.

You'll be given tools to cook your own meat. However, if you are not inclined to cook yourself, your server will cook the meat for you. This will free you up to focus on just eating.

The cuts of meat are very good and do have a premium feel. They also keep your sidedishes replenished.

I recommend.“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“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.“

“Great spot for Korean bbq but they're not an all you can eat spot, nor do they have combos. Everything is a la carte so it can get pricey. But the food is good. Oh, and always ask for fried rice after the meal. You have to pay for it but it's worth it. Side note, ground gets slippery so wear something that grips. Greasy floors.“

“I’ve been coming here for more than 10 years. This is the only kbbq place my husband and I go to. The new changes are fantastic! Great staff, service and food. They added mix drinks on their menu and I cannot be anymore happier. 🥰 we usually go during the day time and it’s usually not busy compared to other kbbq places that I have gone in the past. This place has always been my go to place. I think this place has been undervalued. Hoping with the new changes or new management, they will get noticed more.“

“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 !“

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