Korean Barbecue Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“I like the beef combo & definitely will be back again“

“Wait the food is so good. I wish my tummy could fit more food. The side dishes buffet bar is surprisingly good you have to practice restraint from filling yourself up with it. This place has all the dishes you can want from a Korean restaurant!“

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

“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!“

“If you’re chasing premium Korean BBQ in the heart of K-Town, this spot is one of the more elevated experiences in the neighborhood. 🇰🇷🔥 Jeong Yuk Jeom translates to “butcher shop” — and that’s exactly the vibe you get: hand-selected, dry-aged and wet-aged beef cuts cooked over charcoal that deliver rich flavor and juiciness worth savoring.

The restaurant’s interior is sleek and spacious, perfect for groups or date nights, with good ventilation so you don’t walk out smelling like a grill.

Upscale, flavorful, and memorable Korean BBQ in LA.
Would go again? Absolutely — especially for the dry-aged beef and unique dishes you don’t find everywhere. 🍷🥩“

“Delicious all you can eat Korean barbecue!! Will be back!“

“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“

“Great kbbq place with fresh ingredients and a wide variety of side dishes. They don’t have AYCE here, only combinations — I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of food for the one we got. The kimchi fried rice was good, and the meats were all very fresh and tasted delicious with the accompanying sauces. The servers were also more involved in the meat grilling, even for those of us who had experience kbbq before. They also had fun robots around to bring out and take away dishes. We made reservations, which I’d recommend as it was pretty crowded when we went.“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“Best, the best , Korean bbq in LA… Cali, USA! First time bbq in K town reminded me of the bbq I had in Soowon South Korea- the headquarters of korean bbq. Generous too: 1 order was enough for 2 people, came with a salad, soup and panchan.“

“The food and service were amazing. The meats and options they have here are very unique and delicious, up to 32 different options. The person who gave us our meat was nice and caring. As some side notes, if this is your first time going to Korean BBQ place, you cook your own food so make sure you know how to cook meats, also the music they played here is pretty good!“

“amazing food and good for family“

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

“Really good kbbq i loves their marinated kalbi and yukhoe, they also had really good banchan and good sake; the ambiance is also really nice since they keep the place bit dim its a great place for date night, taste wise its just as good as many of the ktown kbbq’s that Ive tried, the staff was super friendly as well, highly recommended“

“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!“

“I love a Korean BBQ spot where they cook your meat for you. Definitely something that I look for and the staff here does a great job. They are pretty nice and they cook the food really well. There is a decent amount of banchan and the Pigya tasting menu is fantastic. Plenty of meat included in the servings. Aside from meat, it includes a steamed egg, kimchi fried rice, and hangover ramen. It got a bit smokey but the fans were strong and helpful. My friend tried the soju cocktail which was pretty sweet and not that strong. Tasty though! Definitely recommend grabbing lunch or dinner here because the food was great quality.

Now for my standard comments. The location is clean and well kept. Comfortable indoor seating.“

“ordered the beef combo with prime rib and it did not disappoint. The meat was beautifully marbled, super tender, and full of flavor—cooked perfectly at the table. Great value for the quality, and it comes with all the classic sides. Service was quick and helpful. This place is a K-Town winner for serious meat cravings. Btw, Alvin was taking care of our table. He’s a very nice guy! Good food, good service. Will be back soon.“

“The food is soooo good!!!!

The pork belly is thick, juicy, and grilled perfectly by the staff, so you don’t have to cook anything yourself. Service is attentive and professional.

The side dishes are also a highlight — lots of variety, and everything we tried was solid. I love their eggs and soup!!! Not just the pork, the beef was surprisingly good and very juicy.

Overall, a great place for a casual dinner or group meal. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in K-town.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“It was 7 of us first time visit, make sure to bring some cash if you park on the lot to pay for parking it was $3 at the time.
Service here at the restaurant was top notch and the staff were awesome they work hard. I’d say they just need to work on calling/texting the number they put down on the list because we did have to check in ourselves if the table was ready, there’s 2 one person restrooms here and food was delicious.“

“Homemade kimchi, homemade stews, unlimited banchan stations ala Sizzler style, warm and sincere and attentive service, big comfy booths, and headache-free to park at (it's in a strip mall!) and get to compared to the dense traffic of neighboring Koreatown. Apparently this is an original, history-making spot way ahead of its time. And people may come for the all you can eat KBBQ, but straight up I come for the AYCE banchan and Korean dishes that feel like I'm back at home with mom.“

“Great food, service and atmosphere“

“Dae Sung Ro is a really great spot for authentic Korean BBQ and hotpot. The place feels clean and modern, and the staff were friendly and attentive.

The BBQ meats were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly at the table. We all loved the Sundubu and the corn cheese there. Everything felt authentic and well-prepared.

Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re craving real Korean BBQ. I’d definitely go back.“

“Amazing food the owner is so sweet definitely will return“

“This place is a little gem hidden in the neighborhood we came here during the week it was fast to get a table and fast to get the meat cooking very friendly staff it was very relaxing they were very helpful with everything but that's how it is during the week when it's slower you get more attention to help you with the different meats and cooking, the atmosphere was great seats were comfortable music was nice all the meats were delicious I cannot complain about not one of them everything was well marinated the tender Meats were tender nice fatty meats too, I recommend anything in combo c but the more economic option combo a is literally filled with absolutely great meats so you can start there if you want to go easy on your wallet and still enjoy a great Korean BBQ experience, I would absolutely visit this place again actually looking forward to visiting the space again“

“Best Service with delicious foods“

“Great ayce kbbq good priced options services are off the charts… And very friendly. Thank you roadtoseoul“

“Summary:
- When you get a lil twist in affordable Korean BBQ, this is what you get. Get the miso soup, it’s got a kick to it
Pro:
- Good value for the price
- Very big portion. I like they let you cut however you wanna cut it
- Super good + fast service. Dude’s fast as lightning
- Variety of side dish, and if you get second round side dish it’s a lot more too
- I like how they provide lots of onions and jalapeños
Con:
- parking lot environment is kinda scary during afternoon already
- Most meat is more on the sweeter tone, it can get a little bit much afterwards
- I’d say don’t get the intestine“

“I are here several times at the bar. Cooked on the open fire and had a few great conversations“

“I’ve tried their food several times and every dish so far has been really good, fresh and yummy!🤩 the service is good, there’s side dishes and prices are amazing for the portions you get. My sister and I love this place and come often. It’s definitely a hidden gem!!!🍜 10/10“

“Amazing food—especially the cold noodles and side dishes. Everything was super flavorful and satisfying.

Only downside: lots of mosquitos (got bitten a lot while eating), and the tip suggestion is based on the post-tax total, so double-check before paying.“

“first time visit and we'll be coming back the food was great and the service was better very friendly and cordial.“

“I'm so glad they have location here, It closed to me. Love this food. Good meat quality and good service. Staff is very nice and helpful.“

“My wife brought me here for Valentine's Day. And I had a ball. OMG!!! Some of the best food I've eaten in a long time. I recommend this spot 100,000 times over. DTLA Korean BarB Que was major. I love the location, I love the seating and I love the area. I loved the employees. They were so nice and helpful. Jesus this place was awesome. I can't say it enough.“

“The food was good and the server was friendly.“

“I had a great lunch with my family“

“Rica comida y buen servicio“

“On the campus of USC, I visited a place called Kobunga. This place is not vegan, however it had MANY vegan options. The only thing that was not vegan was the meats. I had the Soft Tofu w/ Spicy Garlic Soy Sauce, 1/2 Brown Rice, 1/2 Japchae Noodles, Cucumber Kimchi Pickles & the Sautéed Corn. At first y’all, I saw that tofu and was like ehh but once I mixed the sauce and everything together it didn’t look too bad. When I took my first bite, I didn’t expect an explosion of flavors to dance all over my tongue naa. As this being my very 1st time EVER trying Korean styled food, I am well impressed. The customer service was just as pleasant as the food. My Overall Meal was a 10/10. Overall Experience 10/10. I recommend while visiting Los Angeles! Tell em Multiiee sent you when you go!!“

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

“One of my favorite spots when I’m craving KBBQ! This place in K-Town is hands-down the best, in my opinion. The restaurant has a parking lot with plenty of spaces, honestly a must in LA.

The service is always excellent when I come here. We're seated right away, and the sides and meats come out super fast. I love that they provide a pitcher of water at the table, so I can refill my drink anytime.

The two servers were constantly checking on us to see if we needed more meat, napkins, sides, or anything else. With our choice of Menu C, they brought out the steamed egg and potato pancake automatically — like they were reading my mind before I even asked lol.

The sides are amazing. Whoever makes the kimchi here knows what they’re doing. The marinated shrimp come peeled and butterflied, which makes grilling and eating so much easier.

Overall, it was a great dining experience with high-quality food and service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“First time here. Everything was great service, food the bathroom 😍 the atmosphere is amazing and staff super friendly. I noticed that the hot pan was tilted but is because the juice is removed from the hot pan via a tiny hole. Amazing idea. 💡 i definitely want to come back again. The only thing I don’t like is the parking cost$3 dollars where it should be free.!!!“

“영어로 자연스럽게 이렇게 말하시면 좋아요 😊

> There were four of there were 4 of us, and we went at five o’clock. The quality of the meat was great, the service was excellent, and we really enjoyed the meal. We had a wonderful time and left very satisfied.“

“Wow, I think the ribs here are the best compared to Suwon Galbi. It's delicious. I ordered two people, but it's such a shame that I got half a portion. There are a lot of strange people in the reviews. It must be difficult to do business. It says lettuce on the menu, but they ask for it as a service. Anyway, one man and one woman each ordered ribs, and it was half a portion. Yes, there are a lot of sheep.“

“I’ve eaten many Dak Galbi restaurants in Korea and made it many times at home. Overall this store I would say is good but not amazing. It could benefit from a little stronger overall flavors. One of the only Dak Galbi restaurants I’ve seen in the US so I really enjoyed eating it here in LA.“

“Amazing place, this is my 2nd time here and I love this place. The food is amazing, I went to celebrate my son's graduation here they took care of every one in our party( 11 in total) is very different from other Korean BBQ Restaurants I've visit, I feel I enjoyed the food more, is a very small place but the experience make it worth the lack of ambiance.
I will definitely will be coming back.
I don't know how much is for each individual plate because I had 11 people in my party and we just ordered until everyone was satisfied but it was worth every penny.
The serves make sure you get everything you need, I ordered the marinated beef it was very juice, they lack on variety of choices but it still gives you the whole Korean bbq feel, they provide you with onions, jalapenos and garlic per request, also their salad is AMAZING. It is it not luxurious as other BBQ places.
I still find the meat on this places a much better quality than other Korean BBQ places., I will definitely be coming back.“

“Fire. Literally fire. I recommend it 11am opening is a great time to stop in“

“Good for the price . Good for birthday parties“

“My parents and I came here for my 25th birthday. The establishment has a fascinating environment, and rather welcoming atmosphere. The customer service was both accommodating and reliable, and was able to explain things quite well whenever we had an inquiry. The food was rather enjoyable, and exceeded my expectations. If my family and I shall ever plan to come back in the future, I shall welcome it with much enthusiasm.“
