We provide unlimited grilling meat. It tastes good and the salad served as a side dish is also delicious. The staff are all friendly too.

This place was fantastic- I love the side bar being open and you can serve yourself. The beef belly was my favorite meat but it was all tender and wonderfulParking: A decently sized lot for ktown

A restaurant I stopped by during my trip to the western United States. Both the beef and pork belly were delicious. I like Korean food.

I ordered1. Bulgogi BBQ2. Marinated Beef BBQ3. Chicken Bulgogi4. Thin Slice Pork Belly BBQ5. Chicken Fried Rice6. Spicy Cucumber Salad7. Kimchi8. Potato Salad (3 orders)And paid $145.26 because Uber Eats is a thief, but for the food itself plus tax is was about $127.30It was worth it though, I ordered the same thing again about a month later, minus the Pork Belly. The Pork Belly really had no seasoning and was just lacking in flavor. It was a shame because pork belly is one of my favorite things to order. The rest of the food was delicious, the portions are very generous for the price, if ordering take out, the way that they ensure the food is packaged so there is nothing spilling is above the norm, they do include Banchan for everyone of those individual order btw. I highly recommend, I don't know about eating there since I ordered take out but taste-wise, definitely try it.

A delightful and fun way to eat dinner with friends! The entry price point is moderate for an all you can eat place. The food is delicious! Servers were a little hurried when we visited but it was dinner time.

So so quality food. The meat is tough/not tender for the money you pay. The marinated sauce is a little on the too much sugar side. The side dishes are self-serve. The service is quick and kind.They were out of "internet" today. We were asked to pay in cash or Zelle to the "owner's personal account. This does not sound legitimate. Maybe to their business account? Who's Eun Na? And why am I paying her?So so experience. They added automatic 15% tip for group of four?? That doesn't seem right.

I used to go to this AYCE KBBQ a lot in college and years later, when I recently visited, the quality was shockingly even better! I can't gatekeep this place.**They already add a tipping service fee which I personally think is fair. DO not over order because they will charge you if you have too much leftovers in order to prevent food waste.Service: 10/10, attentive, helpful, efficient and kind. There are fans on every table to help with smoke and the ambiance is super bright and lit. I don't feel icky or smelly after leaving.Self Serve sidedishes: spicy rice cakes, japchae, green onion pancake, cucumber kimchi, kimchi, mac salad, potato salad, fishcake, rice, etc all SUPER good wow I was surprised. I have ZERO complaints like, I would come back JUST for the unlimited self serve sidedishes. Everyone loved it!! Price: WORTH it, super affordable and good meat! Even the cheapest option is great -- pork belly, brisket, thin pork belly, beef belly, chicken, bulgogi and more. Of course they change your grill for you when the grill gets too burnt. Parking: So much parking made easy everywhere! You can park under the restaurant as it has a huge sign that it's their parking. Across the street they also have a huge sign that indicates bud namu parking. DO NOT park directly across the street at the market parking. There are signs everywhere that says only parking for the grocery store and it's LA so they WILL tow you. Park in the designated Bud Namu lot, you won't run into issues finding parking. I went during dinner on a weekend and it was fine. Even more, the worker was going around the restaurant asking if we owned a specific car because they didn't want us to get towed, so nice! Overall, love it here and highly recommend to anyone.

Terrible service. The manager is horrible! We have been coming here for more than 9 years and it takes us an hour with traffic to get there. We recently had twin babies and due to having babies we were told there wasn't a table for us since we have Doona strollers although there were many tables available on both floors. She didn't even ask us to wait, she simply told us there were no table for us to come another day. Not family friendly!

I've been coming to this place since before covid. The service is always great and you can't really beat the prices for all you can eat either. Their meat selection is really good too with multiple different options for everyone. The menu options have different price ranges with the lowest priced option having the least amount of meat options available but rest assured that it is still substantial. I would recommend coming here for good, quick, and decently priced Korean bbq.
