Korean Barbecue Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“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.“

“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!“

“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).“

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

“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.👍🏻“

“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“

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

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

“The all you can eat lunch special is amazzzzing! For $3 more you can upgrade to premium beef sirloin 👌🏽 Honestly, we found this restaurant on a random search and didn’t know what to expect. My friend and I truly enjoyed our lunch here today. Irene was so welcoming. Thank you!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Their spread of banchan is amazing and almost all of them were very delicious and flavorful. Meats are also high quality and tender. I think our combo had kalbi, skirt steak and bulgogi. We added spicy pork bulgogi as well. A bit pricey but worth the splurge. Always walking out stuffed.“

“Great experience for the most part, only issue we had was that i updated our reservation from 8pm to 7:30pm, got confirmation email, but then 8 minutes later the restaurant changed it back to 8pm without me knowing it. So we showed up 30 minutes “early” which was annoying. Might as well have not made a reservation at all.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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's hard to believe what a great deal this place is.... and how good our experience was. It's kind of a loud party environment, but fun and an unbelievably good deal. The service was great on top of it. Food was delicious. I think I have a new favorite Korean barbecue spot.“

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

“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.“

“Best Service with delicious foods“

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

“Great food, service and atmosphere“

“Definitely a bit of a hole-in-the-wall—not the nicest or cleanest place, but the food is delicious and very affordable. It used to be $13.99 for all-you-can-eat before the pandemic, and you didn’t have to pay upfront, which was nice. Be prepared for a long wait to be seated, but the staff is friendly and attentive, which makes up for it.“

“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“

“I believe it was a Friday lunchtime when we visited this buffet. The lady with black, medium-length hair who served our table was amazing and made us feel very comfortable throughout the meal. I really hope she can serve our table again the next time we visit.“

“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.“

“We have been coming to J BBQ for quiet sometime now. This place has always have great taste. However, after the whole quarantine and the place was reopen again, I can tell you that it has change, to the absolute better!!
The prices have increased but so has the variety of meats ? of each menu.
We love it here!
We Def recommend it 100%!
We came to celebrate my mother's bday and she Looooved it! They sang for her, they took a picture for us and it was truly a great evening. Delicious meats, the servers are attentive and kind. Customer service is 10/10.
We will definitely be back soon.

Thank you J BBQ for taking care of us. ❤️

Parking: The parking is in the back of the restaurant on James and wood street, the cost of the valet $3. I believe the prices may change but so far that is the cost.“

“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.“

“Food was fantastic, honestly, some of the best I've ever had (and I've had PLENTY of Korean food since moving to SoCal in 2019). Ambiance was really good too. Super chill place to eat at. 10/10. Parking is extremely tight, though. So, highly recommend to go and find street parking and then walk over here.“

“it was my first time in a Korean BBQ
I loved the pork bolgogi and the pork belly but the star of the meal was the spicy octopus.

the appetizers were also good, especially the green salad.

service was good and the price is more than fair.“

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

“I had a great lunch with my family“

“Rica comida y buen servicio“

“We came here for thanksgiving 2025, last time I was here, it was under a different name, they’ve remodeled the inside it looks nicer now. The atmosphere is a lot better,

There are different level of food you can order where they bring you the meat you choose to grill and they have a section where cooked foods are available (chicken wings, potatoes beef ribs, fried rice, noodles, salads, etc…)

Service is friendly and attentive. The dining area is kept clean and presentable. They kept replacing the grill

When we asked for the check, we noticed a line where you add a tip amount, but a service charge was included, when we asked the waiter what the service charge was for, he told us that it was a 18% gratuity automatically added to any party over 2 , the menu fine print said that single diner will be charged $10.99 service fee. Kinda sneaky of them to add a separate tip line in case you don’t pay attention to the bill, and add a tip

There is well lighted parking lot, with valet parking ($3.00)“

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

“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.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! Even though it’s on the pricier side, it’s totally worth it for the seafood and high-quality food. I tried the lobster tail and Cajun shrimp, and both were amazing — a solid 10/10. 🦞🍤

This place is perfect for a surf-and-turf Korean BBQ experience. It’s all-you-can-eat, the service is great, and the food is fresh and flavorful. The seafood alone makes it worth coming back, and I definitely will!“

“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!“

“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“

“hands down my favorite AYCE kbbq spot in ktown - the food, the service, the staff are all so awesome. the manager jin is especially kind and funny, and he’s incredibly welcoming. he always takes care of myself and my friends (even when they come in without me😂) you also CANNOT beat the price, insane deal that you simply won’t find better than. not to mention, cheap soju!!!“
