50 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Los Angeles

“Amazing Korean BBQ Experience!
Everything was absolutely perfect — the food was incredibly delicious, the service was excellent, and the interior was beautiful and stylish. There’s convenient parking with validation, and the area around is full of nice little shops, which makes it even more enjoyable to visit. Everything was comfortable, beautiful, and on the highest level. Highly recommend!“

“Tranquil spot with various omakase options. Came here with my family for an early dinner and made a reservation online beforehand. We opted for the Sushi Bar Omakase for $109 which came with 8 courses (including dessert). A couple of courses had multiple pieces, and we left very full. The blue crab hand roll was my favorite part; it was huge, hot, and the sauce that accompanied it was delicious. The fish was super fresh and the pieces kept coming. It was fun to watch them being prepared right in front of us at the bar (there are table seats as well). We enjoyed our meal and I would recommend this for special occasions or a way to treat yourself.“

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

“Dear Troy,

Your service impeccable, your smile inviting
You made our night and us feel so at home.
Thank you for allll of that wonderful house sriracha and night. Until next time
We will be back“

“Finally came to Ahgassi Gopchang on my latest trip to LA. My friends had been raving about it. We got there around 5:30 on a Sunday and only waited maybe 10–15 minutes for a table for 3. Loved looking at all the Kpop groups and celebrity signatures in the meantime.

We ordered the large intestine bbq selection for 3 people, and it was SO GOOD. One of the best meals I’ve had recently. So nice that the servers help cook the meat — I would not have known when they were fully cooked. The banchan and sides are also delicious. Loved the steamed egg and cold broth. The intestine is so flavorful, chewy and succulent — barely needed the sauces.

Toward the end, servers used the remaining intestines and fat to make fried rice. We were so full at that point, but it was so good. I legitimately can’t wait to plan another trip to LA just to go to Ahgassi again. For 3 people plus soju and including tip, we paid $172 ($57/person).“

“Even in these challenging times, the fact that Gil Mok Korean Restaurant is still thriving is a blessing for anyone living in the LA area.Ask anyone, and they will tell you that the Dongchimi Noodles ($dongchimi guksu$) at Gil Mok are unforgettable—I'm salivating just writing about them!Feeling overwhelmed or stressed? Go to Gil Mok, have a piece of their delicious meat, and chase it with a bowl of those perfect Dongchimi Noodles. Every single one of your worries will be washed away.“

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

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“loved Sun Ha Jang and their simple menu of duck korean bbq!!! the duck is soo good with the picked sweet onions and salad and the fried rice they make in the leftover duck fat is the perfect ending to the meal. service was warm and can’t wait to go back.“

“Had a great experience here. The service was great, someone was over at our table cooking our food frequently. We had unlimited Kbbq, access to the buffet, and sides. The premium option was worth the money. They also have a great selection of cocktails. Definitely recommend.“

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

“Coconut beef adobo and cornbread bibingka are outstanding!“

“Whenever we visit Los Angeles a night at Origin is a must! The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly and fast, and the food is to die for!“

“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.👍🏻“

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

“This place serve the best Galbi in all of koreatown. Well, galbi is in their restaurant name, I see why. It's so delicious, tender and so flavorful.their side dishes was great as well. We also love their galbi tang and cold noodles. definitely a must try spot.“

“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. ☺️“

“Just finished a fabulous dinner at the DTLA location! We got the Block Bowl and a Combo plate with Brisket and Pulled Pork - everything was delicious, the service was really warm and friendly, and the whole vibe was great! We’ve been eyeing this place for awhile and will definitely be back!!“

“I had the best time here! I’m usually overwhelmed by bbq spots like this, but the service made it very easy and fun. Luis, thank you for being so kind and energetic! We loved having you as our server. All of the food was incredible. It’s a great spot for groups especially with the preset menu. Will be coming back again soon!“

“I thought it was great for what it was. No thrills, no frills, no muss, no fuss food stand in a front yard.
I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere, and the vendors were incredibly friendly. The wait was unbearable, but I was also eager to enjoy my food. It really only took like 30 minutes. I don't believe they have parking, and finding some in South Central is a nigh insurmountable endeavor. So plan accordingly.
I genuinely don't know what traditional and/or fresh tlayudas are like, but these are probably as close as I can get without going to Mexico. Tasajo and chorizo were both delicious, but preferred the tasajo, 100%. I'm not brave enough to try the moringa.“

“This is the best BBQ I’ve had in LA. Tried for the first time yesterday - had the brisket and ribs and both were fantastic. Brisket was incredibly tender and the ribs were as well. Mac and Cheese was rich and delicious, greens had a little bite which is a perfect contrast to the richness of everything else we had. Delicious BBQ sauce, enjoyed the sweet slightly more than the spicy but both were great. I can’t wait to come back and try more sides.

Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!“

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

“I been a customer since day 1 and I can say with confidence the food is so delicious you can taste the love the chef puts into making the food! I 100 percent recommend this place to everyone , also they are very friendly and make you feel comfortable to eat there😁“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Really good, healthy food. When we went there, she made the sesame bread while we waited. And it was delicious. My beautiful wife and I have been going here for more than 20 years. And I've never had a bad meal here.“

“Awesome stuff quality fast perfect service“

“New sprawling kbbq place that is always busy which is a good thing. They have all of the favs like brisket, pork belly, finger rib meat. All the cuts are great quality. Expect to wait for a while if on a weekend night. Service gets slow if there are a lot of people. They will also help you cook your food but be expected to cook yourself.“

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

“amazing food and good for family“

“Tasty food reasonable price!!“

“i’ve been coming here for years, and the food is consistently amazing. a seriously underrated thai restaurant. Natty who runs this place always remembers her customers and asks how you’re doing. the food is so flavorful. a perfect blend of spicy and sour. my favorites are the northern sausage, northern larb, and jackfruit salad, but you can’t go wrong here. please come support this place!“

“My sister and I were in LA for a convention and decided to celebrate her birthday dinner at Genwa. We ordered the course for two, and every dish was fantastic. The spread of banchan was plentiful and flavorful, and the BBQ meats were cooked to perfection. Anna took such great care of us—she answered all of our questions and even helped with the grilling, which made the experience extra enjoyable. We never felt rushed and were able to take our time savoring the food and the whole KBBQ experience. To top it all off, the staff surprised my sister with pandan ice cream and sang happy birthday, which made the evening so special. Highly recommend Genwa for both the food and the service!“

“excelente servicio muy bien todo“

“Best Korean bbq in Los Angeles. 강력추천합니다.“

“The only game in town. Other BBQ places could not shine Woody's shoes.“

“Very affordable and chill place to swing by with friends after work. The owner is very sweet and all staff is very attentive and care that you're having a good experience.

Place is open late and definitely recommend for a casual hang out with friends!“

“Came to Chinatown to look for a place to eat lunch. We ended up here and ordered 2 noodle dishes - beef chow fun and singapore noodles. The beef chow fun was delicious and spot on! The singapore noodles were good but the roast pork was a bit dry. I also thought the noodles lacked curry but my husband said it was fine. The portions were HUGE. We ended up taking the rest of the food home. For the price we paid, it was definitely worth it. Waitstaff was quick and courteous.“

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

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

“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.“

“Everything here is good. I do wish they would add fish cakes but other wise amazing and they cook for you which is always great for pork dishes. Not everything is poor don’t let the name deceive you . The Korean barbecue I now take everyone from out of town. It used to be Parks, but this place is so much better, especially pricewise. You can easily get out of there at $50 per person tax and tip.“

“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!!“

“So delicious and I loved the self rotating grill!

We arrived a bit after 5 pm on a Sunday and snagged one of the last available tables. We ordered a variety of skewers and some fried intestines. All delicious and would love to try more items next time!“

“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. ☺️“

“Update 10/22/23

Still great food, service and deals. Went with combo C again, but brought my mom for help. We did much better on the food, but still had leftovers so I think it can feed four avg appetites. We did order the small cold noodle again, but still stick by my assessment cause we didn't really eat that much rice. They offer the stone pot rice too! Anyway, service was even better this time it seems because they refilled our banchan quickly and without even asking. Great bang for your buck at KBBQ with the quality of meat , banchan and service from a higher end place.

Parking tip: there was a valet on a Wed evening which surprised us, but for $3, very convenient as their parking is limited and service was great!
———

Amazing! Only regret is that I haven’t tried them sooner. After an under whelming experience at Quarters last month, we were more than pleasantly surprised with our experience at Chung Ki Wa. The combo C was perfect combinations of all of our favorites and while the cost was comparable to Quarters, the portion and quality was head and shoulders above. Could easily feed four “avg” adults. Service was top notch as well and again, head and shoulders above. Yes, they did cook the meat for us!!! Ditto for the banchan and love the fact they had a small portion of their cold noodles to try and super refreshing on a hot summer evening. Add the fact that there was free street and lot parking and barley tea, I see no reason to go anywhere else when craving Korean food while in LA. Be back soon!“
