“After eating here for the first time, I told my brother (who I ate with) this is definitely the spot to bring the parents. A couple months later, we brought mom and dad. Enough said. Service and quality of food were really good. Highlights include marinated prime short rib, aged prime tenderloin, steamed egg, and Korean chimichurri sauce.“
“This place was awesome. First of all, Lena our waitress was so kind and willing to explain the menu to us as this was our first time. The food was delicious, I recommend getting a combo so you can try many different things. Not only was the food good but the experience was amazing as well. Lena cooked the meats on front of us (she cooked them perfectly) and you could add seasonings and sauces. Additionally, the sides are brought by ROBOTS. My little sister loved this and couldn't stop giggling every time a robot came by and dropped of some kimchi which was free with the combo. 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be coming back soon! Thank you Lena!“
“We dined here our first night in LA during Spring Break. For a family of 4, we ordered the Taste Of Parks BBQ. All the meats and aide dishes were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent. The wait staff is great at managing your grill so you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the food. I gave "Atmosphere" 4/5 stars because the inside can get rather loud. I would definitely come back here to eat!“
“Amazing quality Korean bbq and fantastic service. The meats are all great quality and good portions. All the staff is very friendly and quick with bringing all the items out. Will definitely be back and would recommend this place to everyone!“
“Ordered Package #1 & it was more than enough for two people especially with all the banchan. Everything was super tasty & the staff was very friendly. Would come back here & order dishes a la carte if just with one other person.“
“I found it through a Google search while traveling and was very satisfied! Thank you to Jun, who tactfully took our order and explained it in detail, and to Michell, who provided the children with steamed eggs and more seaweed. Thanks to you, we had a pleasant meal during our trip. As the name suggests, it was plentiful and delicious! !“
“We came here for the second time today and it was so much better than the first! Chris was an amazing server and was very quick and nice. The food was very good and the sides we were given were also very good. Great experience thanks to Chris!“
“Ordered the Galbi, cold noodles and soup for dinner. Quality of the Galbi was very good but it was pricy. Our waiter was an expert at grilling it patiently and cut it up for us. The hilight for the dinner was the cold noodles. It was light, refreshing and the noodles were so chewy and delicious. It's best to eat this as soon as it arrives otherwise the texture of the noodles change as it sits in the broth. The soup was average. Parking in the small lot is Valet.“
“Wow! The best marinated pork ribs! Come on down to Jin Ju. It isn't an all you can eat spot, but you can't beat the quality. My friend and I decided to try the prime beef and the marinated pork ribs (which is their speciality). Both meats were very delicious. They pretty much cook your food for you. The beef was cut into nice cubes. They were cooked at a perfect medium rare. The prok ribs were also cut into pieces, as well. There was a good selection of 10 types of banchan: fishcake (eomuk bokkeum), sesame broccoli, kimchi, potato salad, cucumber kimchi (sigeumchi-namul), stir-fried glass noodles (japchae), korean spinach, pickled onions, bean sprouts (kongnamul), pancake (yachaejeon), and radish kimchi (kkakdugi) . And honestly, this spot has one of the better quality banchan sides. The japchae had so much flavor, and the potato salad was also good. I appreciated that they offered the pickled onions, which goes really well with the marinated pork. My friend was also excited that they had korean spinach, which most places don't have at all. We also ordered the red pepper paste soup. It was so good! Rick and full of flavor. There's enough seating for 2-6 people to each table. It's not too big of a spot, so if you're trying to get away from the long lined spots - this is the spot to be. Service is quick and friendly. There is free parking in the lot if you're lucky. If not, you can find free street parking.“
“Food was great! The service was excellent! They take reservations on weekends which is rare in Ktown I think. We were a pretty big party, but they were so nice from the beginning. I’m so glad that I found this place! Thank you soooo much!! See you again!“
“One of my favorite Korean bbq spots. They have free parking with validation. Over the years though they have slowly increased their prices which is reasonable but they also removed the steamed egg and the spicy tofu soup of their all you can eat menu which sucks.“
“Compared with Korean barbecue restaurants in San Francisco, the types of meat and soup are relatively less, and you have to pay again for lettuce and perilla! The overall price is also more expensive than Korean BBQ restaurants in San Francisco. Comprehensive comparison, the price/performance ratio is low“
“I found this Korean BBQ place when last Wednesday. It was rain so not too many people.We chose the $57.00/ per person all you can eat. Meat was high quality, service was great, they helped us all the time. Especially, the Tofu Soup was so delicious even better most Tofu restaurants. Lol.If you will be LA Downtown, give it a try.“
“Came for lunch at 11:15 no wait, only one other party in the restaurant. Got the ahgassi combo and added an order of fatty beef intestine. Too much food - although it was just mom and me.Love the banchan. Love the kimchi. Mom loves the sweet potatoes. I also loved the leeks.Meat quality was bomb. Especially the intestines.Service was 5 stars. Especially Jin.“
“Best Korean BBQ, charcoal really makes a difference. This place is pricey and is not all you can eat but it is fantastic. If cooking your own food intimidates you, no worries, they’re hustling staff will do it for you and help you out as needed. Set a new bar for us. Get the short ribs.“
“Dining at Pigya in Los Angeles was a memorable experience that exceeded our expectations, thanks in large part to the exceptional service and culinary delights we encountered. From the moment we made reservations for our family of five, the awesome employees at Pigya ensured our visit was seamless and special.Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly staff. The atmosphere was inviting, making us feel right at home.Our server was the epitome of attentiveness, ensuring our every need was met with a smile. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, guiding us through the selections with expert advice. This level of service was not only refreshing but significantly enhanced our dining experience.We ordered pork gyu which was enough for our family. The banchans were delicious. Our server cooked the meats. Cooked to absolute perfection, every bite was a culinary revelation. The flavors were bold, yet perfectly balanced, showcasing a level of culinary craftsmanship that is hard to find.Everything we ordered was delicious, leaving us thoroughly impressed and eager to return. Pigya in Los Angeles has not only mastered the art of cooking but also the ability to create a dining experience that feels both personal and extraordinary. This is a place where food and service come together in perfect harmony, making it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to indulge in some of the best cuisine LA has to offer.“
“This place is really amazing! Literally 10/10 I would recommend. The food is so delicious, I would definitely recommend the hot beef brisket Ramen bowl !!!! And the customer service is through the roof! The works are always there for anything you need and really fast service!“
“My boyfriend and I love this place. Staff: took good care of us and very helpful and were so polite and helped us out. Irene and jay? (Sorry I forgot his name) we're awesome! I hope I get one of them again. Place: it was very welcoming and the artwork is beautiful. Place and the restroom was top notch clean. Food: absolutely amazing! I don't know which one is my fav. Meat selection was superb "a kiss to the chef" Overall: I love it and look forward to going back“
“Mmmm... I love eight bbq! Their food is DELICIOUS and the service is usually AMAZING! I love all their flavors of pork belly and the kimchi fried rice is so good! The place is pretty nice, even though it isn't that new so that's a plus. So I highly recommend this place if you love Korean bbq.“
“Sometimes a reservation is necessary but for 3 people at 9pm on a Saturday we didn't need one (though I liked the ease of being able to make one last minute). Not super knowledgeable/friendly for those with allergies so keep that in mind. Otherwise, a great meal for a group.“
“My recent visit to Oleego by Parks BBQ was nothing short of spectacular! The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring our dining experience was top-notch. The food was a carnivore's dream, with melt-in-your-mouth brisket and finger-licking ribs. The rustic yet cozy ambiance added to the overall charm of the place. A must-visit for all barbecue enthusiasts!“
“My girl and her friends invited me to go along, we had such a good time, however no everyone made it. Food is really good service is fast and staff are very friendly, . Highly recommend this bbqParking: Is 3 dollar for valet , however the guy let me park, but is still 3 dollars wether they park for you or park yourself“
“One of the best AYCE Kbbq I've tried in LA! The meats that we've tried here were incredibly fresh! I highly recommend their Ribeye Steak, Wagyu Beef Belly, and Giant Beef Rib. The Ribeye Steak was so juicy and tender. It's comparable to Kbbq spots that aren't AYCE. I love the other dishes that they offer as well, especially the dynamite scallops and honey glazed sweet potatoes. Aside from their amazing food options, they also have a lovely and spacious outdoor patio.“
“We booked a table for 7 people in advance. When we arrived everything was ready. All the food was fresh and delicious, especially the marinated beef. The waiters were always attentive, kind and helpful. I am grateful to all the staff for their excellent work. I hope you guys will always be as great as you are now. Thank you!?Parking: You can park along the street or drive into the restaurant and they will park your car for you.“
“Hands down by favorite KBBQ place in LA and I've been to a ton. Been here probably 20 times now. Never a wait, fast service, TVs with sports on, all you can eat, high quality beef, great price, accommodating staff. I've had good experiences with the $2 valet parking as well. Absolutely love this place!“
“Great lowkey spot for KBBQ, prices are great, staff is quick and attentive and all the mains, sides are delicious. I also love the music it was an amazing touch to raise the energy of the place. Only thing I didn't love was the pre paying before but it wasn't a huge deal just FYI. Will be returning though.“
“Me and my friends went to this place on last Friday evening, 3/15. It was so busy although, our server Danny was very attentive and keep checked if we need any other stuffs. Meats were kind of frozen but not too bad, they did a little birthday song as well which was cute haha. Overall it was awesome, definitely coming back later!“
“my family and i really enjoyed oo-kook! we were super tired from a long day of walking around LA and were very much craving kbbq. we stumbled upon this korean restaurant and it exceeded our expectations. meat quality and soups were delicious and the staff were attentive and very helpful! one of the best kbbq restaurants in the LA area and we would definitely be coming back! thank u oo-kook :)“
“My favorite K-BBQ spot in LA. The workers and all the staff are very friendly, thoughtful, patient, and caring. Also, the venue and environment is very chill and calm as well with live sports TV and music from Korean culture. Prices are cheaper and more affordable than every other K-BBQ place I've been to. Definitely a great choice for any friend group and family. Food is really flavorful and delicious and not too salty and fatty.“
“Family’s (Korean) consensus rating was five stars ✨! First off the service was great. We were there early and owner sat us down and even told us to start eating if we wanted to. Note, they have special pricing starting at 7:30pm, but that wasn’t an issue. Not used to that, especially at AYCE restaurant. They also came by and cooked some of the meats for us and changed grills often. Again, not used to that from AYCE.Second was the quality of the meat. The Kalbi was tasty and fresh. The size of the shrimp too! There really wasn’t a bad dish we tried and for $35pp after 7:30pm, we thought it was a really great deal.Place is a bit worn, but we weren’t there for the decor. We just wanted a variety of good Korean dishes and were not disappointed!“
“I frequent this location pretty often, some might say a little to much ?. But the food always hits the spot and the service is always amazing. I've gone to my fair share of korean bbq places, but this is definitely my go-to and the one I always recommend. If you've visited multiple korean bbq spots in the k-town area, I'm sure you'd agree that service isn't always their priority, but J BBQ's service is next level, and honestly the main reason this is my go-to location. The servers are extremely attentive, Byammba who is a server there is awesome, always notices when you need to order anything or if you need more of any side dishes, always brings them over without having to ask, even when they're super busy. Not sure about you, but great customer service is what keeps me coming back to places and J BBQ forsure does an amazing job with that and the food is even better.“
“I always come here for a delicious meal. However, whenever I come here recently, I have additional requests or questions, and when I ask them, a particular server often shows signs of being a bit uncomfortable. Even if it tastes good, I don't think it will be good. Mubongri is the best pork belly restaurant in town, so I bring customers... but every time I come, I feel uncomfortable because of that person... so I think I'll be reluctant to come because of the unfriendly service. As expected, the kkakdugi fried rice and noodles are delicious. Service is separate..“
“It's always a great experience ordering from this location. They have better parking situation than the one on 6th. The spareribs are perfectly seasoned and grilled and their banchan are always fresh. Their gamjatang is also a favorite. Call in your order to go and it will be ready on time.“
“Specializing in Korean lunch boxes, raw fish rice bowl, bean noodles, rice cake dumpling soup, squid somen, etc. A popular place for lunch and catering for office workers in nearby offices. Overall, it is delicious and the portions are good.Hwaedupbap (sushi rice) - personally it’s best menu (huge portion) diced raw sushi (salmon & tuna) with gochujang topping on the rice,overall very delicious and large portion food for the whole family to share.Also if you like spicy Korean mixed bibim noodle like Jjolmyun, I recommend trying Ojingo Somyun the spicy squid noodle, very delicious ?Seems like a lot of people have menus for take out / to-go / delivery from Koreatown & the offices nearby (talked to the very kind sajangnim owner lady, very confident of her menu - using fresh ingredients & the taste)Highly recommended this place for office workers who work nearby. (For delivery & take out)Vegetarian options: They got konggooksoo (Korean cold bean noodle), quenching dish on hot summer days“
“Love this place! It's refreshing to see non-kbbq-type Korean joints that serve delicious, well-balanced meals at an affordable price.Whenever I need to be in the area, I drop by because their pork belly is amazing - reminiscent of southern bbq! Their rice, which they lightly add some special touches to is awesome too. The owners are really nice folks; love supporting them. I'd highly highly recommend it if you're looking for something quick and casual in the area.“
“Me and my partner live close by so we decided to stop by on a Wednesday night. It was pretty empty, only 2-3 other groups. The restaurant felt a lot more homey compared to other KBBQ. It felt like a lowkey spot where close friends can get together and reminisce on fond memories together. We liked it a lot. We really enjoyed the side dishes - especially the salad and the cooked meat. We ordered the AYCE Set A. Price was very reasonable. Definitely not the best we've had but still good. I love steamed egg so I had to order and had no regrets. Service was good too. I will mention the smoke is a bit more on the heavy side which we didn't love as it starts to smell burnt.“
“We've been here a total of three times. The first time we went there, the service and food was amazing. The second time, it was okay. This last time, the food was not that great.The service staff was marvelous, the exhaust fans needed to be repaired, but the quality of food needs some improvement.“
“I was craving KBBQ, and came to try Gangnam Station in Koreatown! We were seated immediately during dinner time on a Thursday night!I genuinely was shocked at the price to quality because it was so good for only $29.99 (Menu A). They offered a wide selection of premium meat cuts PLUS their self-serve meat and side dish bar! I loved the complimentary tofu soup too!The servers were very attentive to us and changed the pan frequently and always provided us top service.The inside ambiance was so nice as I was able to see the city/street view! They offer parking validation with 2 hours free underground parking!Save this spot for your next meal?Parking: 2 Hour Free Parking Validation“
“Decently priced AYCE kbbq places. I came here for lunch. It was so much food and everything was so good! They have a self serve section of all the sides.I loved how they played music by Norcal artists here. Our server was very efficient and got everything out to our table quickly.I didn't have any issue with parking.“
“I think this is the best dakgalbi restaurant in K-Town! It's good because it's not too sweet and not too salty!! I recommend adding cheese!! The amount of vegetables is plentiful and be sure to eat the fried rice at the end :) I come here often and I ordered chicken feet once, but the boneless chicken feet ㅜㅜ I'm sorry, but it wasn't very good... It's oily and spicy ㅠㅜ“
“We came here around 5ish in the afternoon, perfect time for a lesser crowd. They asked us if we do have reservation which we don’t. we availed the all you can eat priced at $43 each for dinner. I should say it was all worth it. Meat quality was superb! so good it melts in your mouth, especially the rib-eye! they also grill it for you. Space was a little narrow but they have another extension, also parking's a little tight. Nonetheless, it didn't bother us since we arrived at an earlier time. Food wise and customer service, I definitely recommend this place. One of my top choices for Korean BBQ here in LA.“
“Steamed egg, soybean paste stew, brisket, spicy pork belly are delicious. Garlic and hot peppers are also provided upon request. Even though it was a weekday, there were a lot of people in the early morning. The female owner was very kind and cheerful. Very satisfied.“
“It was great to eat with family!!I chose All U Can, and the meat quality was better than I expected. In particular, the brisket and marinated ribs were really good.The staff were friendly and I enjoyed my meal to the fullest!!The valet parking fee was $10, which was too expensive, so I used street parking nearby.“
