Jjukku Jjukku BBQ

Tried to come eat here by myself when there is no traffic on a weekday. Ridiculous “2 person minimum” on a TUESDAY. Are you serious?

I went to try this place for the first time.
And I can say my experience was not as planned.
As I have been to many different Korean BBQ spots and by fay this is the worst. We ordered the steak and short rib but as we put it on the grill the so called meat did not cook. It would burn and charcoal the outside but once you cut down the middle it was raw. The taste of this "meat" was bland, chalky, just tough as you chew also the texture felt, looked as if it was some 3d printed meat. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

This used to be my favorite AYCE Korean BBQ spot, and I always loved the high quality meat they served. While it’s on the pricier side, I didn’t mind because the food was worth it. However, my recent visit was disappointing, and I’m not sure if it’s due to inflation or other factors, but the quality has gone downhill.

The meat was very chewy, tough to swallow, and nothing like what I used to enjoy here. Even the side dishes, which I used to love, were far too sweet and overly seasoned. It feels like everything has been compromised in terms of quality and taste.

On top of that, I had a horrible experience with the parking service at the building. After an altercation with a rude attendant(Dorian and Jorge) who insisted I pay $20 despite the owner saying otherwise, I left feeling frustrated and upset. With both the food quality declining and the terrible parking experience, I don’t see myself coming back to this restaurant or even this building.

Becareful! They are making you pay tip on the tax portion as well. You shouldn't have to pay tip on the tax part.

It was unthinkable for me to leave LA without having tasted the famous K-bbq and what a surprise! A big fan of Korean cuisine, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meats and the service at a very attractive price. Also very appreciated by the Korean community, we came back a second time to enjoy the premium barbecue once again, won over by the tenderness and flavor of the products.

Not good at all given the price of their dinner sets. Try more local mom and pop ones not this internet sensation.

Reasonably priced all you can eat Korean BBQ. Pretty big space with room for small and large parties. Service is very fast, almost too fast. We found it kind of hard to fully enjoy or relax. Portions size is good. They give a fair amount of sides but not a lot. Ventilation is ok, not great. Overall a good experience for basic Korean BBQ. Street parking.

I had AYCE KBBQ for the first time a few days ago and loved it so much I had to get it again. This place is in Koreatown, with a large meat selection and lunch specials for a discounted price. You can pay extra for additional options, but we found the base lunch special to be plenty for us. We paid $32 for the AYCE basic selection. Highly recommend the beef belly! It’s a thin-cut slice of meat that just melts in your mouth. Very quick service and delicious meat, what more could you ask for! Definitely recommend this place for KBBQ if you’re in LA.

Smelled very bad - terrible customer service and terrible food choices. Would end up spending $70 to get decent food. Much better establishments than here.

(also posted on their Yelp page)
Another AYCE KBBQ joint in Koreatown, Los Angeles. This is a rare one that uses charcoal in their meats. (This also increases the risk of getting burnt food.) They have 3 levels of menu. Level A is cheapest, Level B is in the middle, and Level C includes the premium cuts of meat at $56.99.

Parking in this plaza is the worst. It's across from the H Mart structure, but I think you need to actually buy something there to get parking validated. Good luck finding street/metered spots around.

The service is ok. They forgot a lot of the things we asked for, but they're just a button call away. I feel like they get busier after 8 PM, so if you go earlier there is no wait.

The meat is ok. I'm thinking I'm better off paying this much to get better quality meats at other restaurants. The fans above the grill also suck really bad. One of the fans broke and actually fell off during our meal!? The smoke gets blown toward the inside of the restaurant because they keep the door open.

We had a party of six. They added gratuity, so, for level B dinner, each person paid $65-66.

Top! Had a really good time. Nice staff, good food.

Great all you can eat kbbq spot in Ktown with many options to choose from. Can’t go wrong with unlimited beef tongue and short ribs. The quality of beef was pretty good and the side dishes were great tasting as well. A little bit on the pricey side but I felt it was worth it.
