50 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Los Angeles

“There were a lot of reviews saying the service was bad, expensive, etc., so I was wondering whether to come or not, but when I came, I tried the meat and it was delicious.
It's not expensive, the soybean paste stew and steamed egg are very delicious, and the cold noodles are highly recommended!! ?“

“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow“

“Omakase by Osen , a traditional Japanese dining experience where the chef selects the dishes for you, offers a truly unique and personalized approach to sushi and Japanese cuisine. This restaurant brings the authentic art of omakase to life, and it's clear that the chefs take immense pride in their craft.
From the moment you step inside, Omakase by Osen exudes a warm, minimalist ambiance with a modern twist. Soft lighting, wood accents, and clean lines create an inviting, intimate atmosphere that feels both high-end and welcoming. The staff are professional, attentive, and knowledgeable, with a deep understanding of the ingredients used. They are eager to explain each dish and offer pairing suggestions, which enhances the experience for diners unfamiliar with Japanese culinary traditions.
The food is, without a doubt, the star of the show. The menu reflect the freshest, in-season ingredients, and the chefs craft each dish with precision and care. The sushi is exceptional,each piece is an artful masterpiece. The fish is impeccably fresh, often sourced directly from top-tier fish markets, and the rice is perfectly seasoned. Highlights include buttery, melt-in-your-mouth toro, delicate sea bream, and rich uni. The accompanying garnishes and sauces are thoughtfully balanced, never overpowering the natural flavors of the seafood.
Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Japanese cuisine.“

“The OG. the tastiest. the smokiest. the best. don't wear your favorite new sweater. ladies tie your hair back. and get down.“

“This is the K town classic. It first opened in 1982. Since then it became the place to get authentic Korean BBQ and signature dongchimi noodle. I still remember the first time I tried their noodle and I was so blown away. When it comes to dongchimi noodles, they are on the top tier.“

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“Ordered Package #1 & it was more than enough for two people especially with all the banchan. Everything was super tasty & the staff was very friendly. Would come back here & order dishes a la carte if just with one other person.“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“Great qualities of meat selection and a bunch of other types of excellent qualities of food. Definitely a place to go to celebrate and for special occasions. The beef, especially the galbi, the shrimp, takoyaki, and everything is fantastic. We can grab most of the food and the premium food came out very fast. Will definitely come back.“

“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!“

“If you’re looking for a unique and delicious take on KBBQ, look no further! The duck here is so good, and the service is incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful for first timers. Make sure you save room for the duck fat fried rice at the end; you’ll want to eat every last bite (although I hear it’s delicious as leftovers too :))

Parking: Free street parking and limited parking lot spots“

“Coconut beef adobo and cornbread bibingka are outstanding!“

“One of the BEST BBQ'S in Los Angeles!“

“Exceptional Yakiniku experience! Ben's knowledge and attention to detail made our visit memorable. The premium meat selection is remarkable, particularly the marbled wagyu cuts. The contemporary atmosphere and high-end grills create an elegant setting.“

“The smell of fire is amazing. The raw meat is fresh. Even though I had leftovers, I wrapped them up and ate them slightly warmed the next day, they still tasted fresh. However, if you don't get there early and get a seat, you may have to wait a long time.“

“Came here for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Luis took good care of us and was very attentive to ensure we were taken care of such as making sure we liked our drinks. We had the prixe fixe and everything came out so fast. We look forward to coming back.“

“Have eaten a ton of Korean BBQ over time and was still blown away with most every item I tried here. It took little changes to traditional dishes to truly blow me away; who knew that subtle seafood additions could so boldly change the flavors of a sundubu jiggae, or the marinade off a perfectly cooked gopchang with a subtle sweetness and roasted garlic cooked be so perfectly cooked. The banchan was all geared toward pairing with our combo meal and these various options to try all excited my taste buds greatly. Not only was the food great but the service was top notch. We came and dined on a quiet afternoon so had very timely service and really appreciated our experience here.“

“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. ☺️“

“Delicious food! Ordered the pulled pork sandwich and BBQ ribs. The ribs slid off the bones and were finger-licking good. The coleslaw was crispy and not slathered in mayonnaise and the Mac and cheese was so delicious. I don't even like mac and cheese. Will be returning.

Parking: About 3-5 parking spots at a time.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel-chair friendly.“

“This place has received a lot of media hype and I recently checked it out. Totally awesome. I’ve had Tlayudas, a Oaxacan specialty, but none of them
compare to Ponchos. The blue corn tortilla was perfect,
as was the filling. I had the blood sausage, which was excellent.
The place is chill and the crowd was cool. A real winner!

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie tlayuda.“

“Whether you visit with family, friends or colleagues, this restaurant is proud to provide you with an outstanding dining experience.“

“Hanu BBQ is fantastic. I've been here three times and each time the food is great. They take reservations for large groups and there's a karaoke place right next door, for an easy night out. There are cute little robots that bring you your food too.

Nina and Mark were both amazing- very attentive and even taught us how to make somaek. Would definitely recommend this place as a great option for a group outing.“

“Best korean bbq place in LA Ktown. I been living here for like 20years I tried all the K bbq places. Here is the best one! Soju and beer price are cheaper then other places.
And No wait!! Side dished and salads are so good and steamed egg was so goodone thing you have to try is the chicken feet? with bottle of soju“

“Tasty food reasonable price!!“

“I recommend this place for sure 🥰🥰🥰“

“the staff is very friendly, service is fast, and the food is delectable!“

“This is a place I have been frequenting for a long time. The meat quality is good, and I recommend the tripe hotpot as it is the most delicious.
The parking lot is small, but there is plenty of street parking space in the neighborhood.“

“Was a really fantastic experience. The wait staff was extremely courteous, nice and friendly. The food was delicious- the meat and banchan was extremely fresh- was definitely a fan of their kimchi! Also, they were generous with time. Will definitely be visiting again soon! 감사합니다!“

“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.👍🏻“

“I've been to Pigya twice now, and it was delicious both times! Make a reservation so you know you have a spot but on our last visit there was enough room so you would have been fine without one. Meat is delicious and perfectly cooked by our server...sides are also good and plentiful if you need more! Cannot recommend it enough!
Parking is K-Town is awful so valet if you can or Uber/Lyft.

Vegetarian options: Don't come to a Korean bbq place if you don't eat meat.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for chairs and walkers if needed.“

“amazing food and good for family“

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

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“excelente servicio muy bien todo“

“Came on a Thursday around 8pm. Not crowded at all. Took a pre-visit gander at the online menu and decided I was definitely trying the brisket deviled eggs, if nothing else! Wow, they were thee most creative deviled eggs I've ever had. I would have never thought to pair feta cheese with it. Delicious. They need to just go ahead and give you the other half of the 3rd egg so you won't have to fight your dining partner for the odd 5th half on the plate. We cut ours in half haha. Also tried the BBQ flavor wings, turkey California Cobb salad and a brisket salad. The wings are huge, delicious and you get 12 in an order. Brisket salad was flavorful. Thinly chopped napa cabbage as the main green was a bit unusual but still tasty and crunchy. Turkey Cobb salad had moist and delicious smoked turkey and generous sprinkles of blue cheese. Service was friendly and attentive. Definitely returning to explore other menu items and sides!

Parking: Unless you don't mind circling the block a few times looking for metered/free curb parking, there are plenty of paid lots to choose from.“

“Flew down from Canada and my friend recommended my wife and I come here. Such a good recommendation! 10:10 recommend the pork combo player as well as tofu pad thai and any of the starters.

Parking: Probably 12 spots

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps, just a curb“

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

“It's like stepping into a mom and pops shop. You can smell the deliciousness from a mile away. It's like the smoke lures you there. Prices are fair and food is extraordinary. All my family loves eating here. Order in advance or just have your mouth water as you wait for your order to come out. They are very professional and have speedy service.“

“My first time having these cumin spiced lamb skewers on a rolling grill and I LOVED it.

We ordered 25 for 3 of us, which seemed like a lot but we killed it - 15 lamb, 5 chicken, 5 chicken heart(?). Wouldn’t recommend the chicken was a bit dry.

The spicy lamb is actually very spicy, but also addicting so couldn’t stop. Appreciated the refillable banchan.

We had to wait about 15 min. It’s a small restaurant with limited tables and the grill doesn’t cook them very fast.“

“Best Korean bbq in Los Angeles. 강력추천합니다.“

“An unassuming storefront but their meats and banchan were top-notch. We had the prime sirloin steak. It was substantial, super tender, and very tasty. Also tried their famous marinated pork ribs, which were perfectly seasoned, with a balanced sweetness to bring out the flavour of the meat… don’t forget to dip it in the sesame oil and sea salt!

The service was excellent. Our server was very kind, efficient and made sure we had all that we needed while she helped us grill our meats with a practiced hand. The banchan was fresh, with crunchy seasoned vegetables that held their flavour and vibrancy. My personal favourites were the pickled white onions and marinated beansprouts. Authentic and on-point.

On top of that, we came on New Year’s Eve and they were accommodating, patient and made it an occasion to remember with the best KBBQ we’ve had, ever. Quality we appreciated.

Parking is valet at $4 as of NYE 2024.

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly“

“The most delicious and healthy food with vibrant atmosphere. Always packed and oh so lively. You can sit at the bar and watch your skewers being BBQ 'd in front of you, from chicken wings to chicken balls to beef and vegetables skewers, all absolutely fresh and delicious. Tony has been running this place forever and such a professional.“

“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!!“

“Got the crispy pata and lechon kawali, both with java (garlic) rice. Everything was cooked crispy and juicy at the same time, Mang Tomas sauce and spiced vinegar included, and totally worth the price. Loved this place! Would come back again.“

“Food was delicious 😋. Their sauces really enhanced the meal.“

“Great food, service and atmosphere“

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

“I had the spicy chicken bowl twice this week. It tastes excellent. There's onions, bell pepper, and sesame seeds to go along with the rice and chicken. My only feedback is that there must be a lot of oil in the recipe because my tummy was rumbling less 8hrs later. I'd have it again but definitely ask for light oil.“

“Parks2Go has been our go-to spot whenever we have a large gathering at home. Not only is the meat quality as phenomenal as eating at the restaurant, but they ensure everything is packed up well with ice for travel. Sauce, kimchi and banchans are fantastic.
They even saved our Thanksgiving dinner this year with delivering the missing LA Galbi from our order. ❤️Parks and their amazing staff!!“
