Korean Barbecue Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

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

“Despite accidentally making reservations online for the following evening, the gentleman behind the entry table found a way for my family of 4 to enjoy a top notch Korean BBQ dinner. We were so grateful! The food was excellent and service first rate. Highly recommended!!“

“The best quality Korean BBQ I've ever had! We had the butcher's pride 1 and it was the perfect amount of food for two people. It includes short ribs, finger meat, wagyu, and marinated short ribs. There are also numerous side dishes from kimchi to green onion jeon. You may also ask for rice if you'd like some to go with the marinaded short ribs.

With tax and tips, we ended up paying about $100 per person. Is it on the pricey end? Yes. Is it overpriced? Slightly. Is it a good food experience? It was. Would I come back again? Depends on who I'm with.“

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

“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.👍🏻“

“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!“

“I love it so much . That was so yummy . Service good and so friendly.“

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

“amazing food and good for family“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

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

“For the quality, taste, price, and portions, you can’t find a lot of places better than Soowon Galbi. We got the Combo D (Unseasoned Prime Short Rib, Soowon Galbi, Prime Rib Eye Steak, Kkot Sal, Joo Mul Luk, Chadol, Bulgogi), which was filling even for 7 people! I usually don’t love non-marinated meats in KBBQ but tell me why the ones here were so tasty.

The servers were friendly and cooked the meats very nicely for us. I liked the Seafood Pancake, Galbitang, and complementary soups, though the Jap Chae was not my favorite. They were very generous with the rice, too.“

“Everything about this place is good....... Dogs are not welcome.,service animals too....
They said no dogs at 1st,then I stated she is service animal.

Then he grilled me on type of service she provides, we answered his demands,but still didn't want us to have the service animal.
We finally got to eat. But after about 30 minutes of waiting, then they stuck us in the back corner, but he clearly did not want the dog in the building.

So bring your service animals here. But be prepared for a verbal confrontation and questioning.“

“Nice place very good to eat“

“Great food, service and atmosphere“

“My favorite Korean barbecue in Los Angeles. All the side dishes are fantastic and there is so much variety you can tell they really thought it through! The meat quality is also fantastic. Their marinated galbi is my favorite beef in the world. If all of that is not enough, it is also the only Korean barbecue place that cares enough about the customers that they have a ventilated stove so you don’t smell like Korean barbecue walking out of this restaurant it’s amazing.“

“OMG I can't begin to express how delicious this is!!! I was craving small intestines (haven't had it in years) so I did a quick Yelp search and chose this place. I ordered the Spicy Small Intestine, Beef and Tripe Hotpot and it was 🔥🔥🔥!!! All of the banchan was so good as well. I can't wait to come back!“

“This place is absolutely amazing I came with my mom and her friend they are a bit on the older side. Jenny made sure to give us a table with good airflow and ac. She was always attentive. Brought us everything we were about to ask for before we even needed to ask. Changed out the grill set up the meat. She took her time to cut meet right off the bone it took a while. I told her it’s ok this is a lot of work. She said this is the best part and it’s completely fine. She was absolutely right. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“I found my new favorite restaurant in Los Angeles. PZK BBQ on Beverly Blvd in the Fairfax neighborhood is it.

My daughter took me there for Father's Day, 2026. My go-to order at Korean restaurants is galbi, marinated beef short ribs. At PZK BBQ you can get all you can eat at a reasonable price. It's delicious. Service is quick because you grill it at your table. It's delicious.

The typical Korean side dishes, also all you can eat, are also delicious.

Our server was pleasant and efficient. The ambiance is pleasant. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. The way the restaurant is set up, I couldn't see any way for a party of more than six could eat together. We were a party of five, my daughter, her family, and me, so we were fine.

There's a valet parking station out front, or there's street parking. The restaurant is kid friendly as long as your kids like Korean food.“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

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

“What impressed me most was how seriously Sookdal takes quality control. The staff took full responsibility for cooking the meat, carefully checking every piece and making sure it was served at the perfect doneness while still tender and juicy. Everything was consistently flavorful, and their attention to detail made the entire experience exceptional.“

“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!!“

“Best KBBQ ever! They never skimp on banchan - it's full 10 dish traditional banchan versus other gentrified spots that only give 3 or 4, AND it comes with steamed egg! Their prices are very reasonable and best quality of meat of all the places I've tried. The staff is so sweet and everything tastes homemade. My go-to spot!!!“

“The owner is amazing and will make sure your experience is top notch. For AYCE they offer more than any other place in ktown I have been too. I mean they have a free ramen bar included in all you can eat for $38! Meats are a notch above other places but the variety of what you can choose is what sells. Awesome decor, feels old school Korean.“

“Pretty nice quality Korean bbq, it is not AYCE, and the price is a bit on the expensive side. They have some interesting dishes like pork skin, and pork stomach. The small dishes was pretty decent. You dont get the fried rice at the end if you dont order the combo. Service is good - they pretty much cook all the food for you. Valet parking for 3 dollars.“

“Probably the best deal of price you could in town for AYCE KBBQ, the menu is very basic but its all the main meats you will get in all the other KBBQ, the service is 10/10, the ambient is like old school Korean restaurant with music blasting in the background, definitely highly recommend.“

“The vibe is amazing. High energy for sure. Great place to come and have a conversation or be loud with your friends. The meat quality is amazing. Everything is fresh never Frozen. The kimchi the sauce, the soup, the salad, the meat, literally everything is just top tier. The prices are so freaking good, it's priced like the super cheap quality places but it's literally just so damn good.

Good hours, good quality, Good vibe, five out of five, only thing that sucks is parking LOL“

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

“Best Service with delicious foods“

“Mountain Noodles offers an extensive variety of Korean dishes, which initially made me skeptical about their focus on noodles. However, I was surprised to find that their menu cleverly builds on a foundation of decent meat broth with slight variations.

I tried their signature dish, the beef noodles, and opted for the mild spicy version, which unexpectedly came with kimchi in the soup. I would recommend going with the regular flavor to fully appreciate the rich flavor of the broth. Kimchi is also served as a standard side dish. The ribs in the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the noodles themselves were delightfully chewy and tasty.

While the service was not particularly friendly or proactive, it didn't significantly detract from the overall quality of the food. Mountain Noodles is a solid choice for anyone craving varolious and well-prepared Korean cuisine.“

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

“😋💗 Pregnancy has made me crave really simple, clean flavors, and this was honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. I even finished all the broth! Everything tasted so fresh and clean, including the side dishes. It was exactly what I was craving.“

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

“Best BBQ EVER
I’ve gone to other places and always end going back to this place. It’s insane how comfortable they make me feel almost like if I was part of there family music environment and delicious food and. Affordable as well“

“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'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.“

“The food is absolutely delicious, and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. Every time I come here, I leave in a great mood! The prices are also very reasonable, especially for the quality of the food. Always a great experience. Highly recommend!“

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

“AYCE KBBQ 2 Review

Went to AYCE KBBQ 2 with my boyfriend around 10 PM on Sunday and had such a great experience! We waited about 30 minutes to be seated, but once we got to our table, the service was super fast.

The meat selection was really good! We had shrimp, bulgogi, pork belly, and kalbi, plus canned sodas. Our orders came out immediately, and I never once had an empty plate waiting for more food. 🙌 The grill was also changed every time there was even a sign of smoke, which I really appreciated.

We paid only $60 for two people, including a 14% tip, which I thought was an amazing deal for the amount and quality of food we got. (Canned soda only $2)

Definitely will be coming back! ❤️🔥“

“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“

“Rica comida y buen servicio“

“Good food, great service. What more can you ask for?

We made reservations online via Yelp and a day before our reservations (a little under 24 hours), I received a text message to confirm them. All you have to do is hit 1 and reply to the text or go to the link provided and it'll take you to the app to confirm. Super convenient!

Our other party arrived minutes before we did as we were stuck in traffic and the staff immediately said the table was ready. My family opted to wait for us and we arrived shortly after noon.

Once we all together, we were immediately seated and was pleasantly greeted by our lovely server. She was amazing and super attentive! She provided recommendations and we placed our orders immediately. Both tables chose the $39.99 all you can eat option.

Tables were both set up with starters that included a house salad, macaroni salad and kimchi. Table settings included plates, plastic cups for water, utensils, napkins and sauces.

We all started with the Boneless LA Galbi, LA Galbi and PRIME Boneless Short Rib. Meat was tender and delicious and the dipping sauces were great. We also ordered sides of the following (with the first being the best in our opinion):
- Cup Ramen Fried Rice
- Korean Fried Chicken Bites
- Corn Cheese
- Loaded Tots (Cheetos)
- Gyoza (Beef & Vegetable)
- Steamed Egg

Everything was piping hot and made to order for the sides. I highly recommend making reservations as lines were starting to form about 30 minutes after we arrived. Parking can be a little difficult if you're street parking but there are plenty of spaces available all on Spring St.

We are definitely coming back! Thanks, DTLA AYCE KBBQ!“

“I had a great lunch with my family“

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

“I have been coming to this restaurant for over ten years now! Let me tell you something man.. the quality has remained on top all these years. The side dishes you get here are always amazing too like their potato pancake and steamed egg to go with your thin sliced meats. The salad they serve you here is also very traditional and true to its taste.
If you’re in koreatown and don’t wanna go to the most popular ones on yelp come here you won’t regret it!
This place is good for any occasion a meet up with friends, family or even a date.“

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

“Highly recommend Chuncheon Dakgalbi! Everything was absolutely delicious. The side dishes were flavorful, and I really appreciated that the dakgalbi was mostly cooked in the kitchen and came out almost ready to eat. The chicken pieces were the perfect bite size - not too big and not too small.

Their fried wings were also really good, honestly better than the average fried chicken franchise. The noodle dish wasn’t quite my style because the noodle itself had a flavor that was unfamiliar to me, but the sauce was still delicious.

I especially want to highlight how amazing the service was. The server was incredibly attentive - I didn’t have to ask for anything because they were actively checking on every table. It was the best restaurant service I’ve experienced in LA.

Highly, highly recommend. I was completely satisfied with everything.“
