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!“

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

“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.👍🏻“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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'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.“

“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“

“Great food, service and atmosphere“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“
