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!“

“Just visited for the 1st time, seen the items they had posted on the window, it looked so good I decided to try it out and man I dont regret it. I ordered a bowl with spicy chicken and kimchi and man that dish was so good better then I had in mind that I am forsure going to come back. Just got to find parking tbh because its next to the court house but the food is delicious“

“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.“

“Highly recommended. The galbi short rib, kimchi pancake, soon tofu (especially the mushroom broth), and the banchan were all delicious. There was even a bonus ice cream, how delightful! The ambiance feels elegant and distinctly European with a chill vibe. Service was great. Will be returning!“

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

“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 staff here are the friendliest I’ve ever had at a Korean BBQ place. Along with being friendly, they are quick to bring you what you need. The food is great and the service is awesome! Love this place!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“
