I LOVE the pork belly here! All the meats are very tasty. They also have lots of delicious and nutritious sides. Great portions! And they cook for you too. Excellent service! The restaurant is clean and modern. And Blackpink Lisa has been here before!!

The food here is good! We ordered the two-person combo, but the portions were huge, easily enough for three people. Everything was flavorful and fresh. The quality of the meat was great. The server will help you cook the meat on the grill, that’s good as you don’t need to be busy with flipping the meat😌Simply enjoy the food!
The only downside was that the soup noodles (or hotpot) were way too salty for my taste, definitely on the high-sodium side, which isn’t the healthiest.

Great! This is the second time we've been here. Everything tastes fantastic. All the meats are very good and taste unique from each other. Other places, all the meats start to taste the same. Service was great for our party of 9.

It’s pricey but the quality of the meat is very high. Delicious pork with unique cut, the galbi is tender and bulgogi is packed full for flavor.

Stopped by here for lunch today and the experience was not good. I am very surprised by all the good reviews because the beef quality was notttt even remotely good. We ordered the large beef combo and every cut from the brisket to the kalbi tasted like USDA choice.
My first red flag was when our server cooked the brisket. She put the meat onto a warm grill so instead of getting the BBQ char… the meat was kind of just boiling because the grill was not hot enough. If i wanted to eat hotpot, I would’ve went to a hotpot restaurant. Everything was just kind of boiling in its own juices and didn’t crisp up.
The second red flag was our server put the meat tongs ON TOP of the raw pork jowl then proceeded to use it to try and serve us the cooked brisket from the grill. I immediately stopped her and she walked away. We thought she got the hint to get us a separate tongs for the cooked meats but instead she just went to talk to her coworker. I finally had to request new tongs myself to prevent cross contamination.
The service was not good. The restaurant was not busy during lunch today (8/24/25) and they didn’t refill any sides like banchan or salads even though the bowls were empty. Our server cooked the meats SO badly. It is so important for the grill to be hot before putting any type of meat on. I even stopped our server a few times and said to wait for the grill to be hotter so we can get that char but she still didn’t care. She cut up our steak into little pieces before it was even cooked so it was very dry. The seafood pancake was not good either. It was like 50% scallions and 50% seafood but not enough batter for it to be crispy?
Very disappointed. Do NOT recommend at all. There are so many better places to eat at nearby w far better Korean bbq.
The server burnt the meat and replaced it with other meat. The soybean paste stew ramen that came out last was woefully inadequate for six people. He flatly stated that there would be no additional ramen.

Wow, great quality Korean bbq. This place took over another k-bbq. This one is much better. Got the set menu for 2. It was plenty for my family of 4. Also ordered the nang myun. Very refreshing and chewy. At the end they give you a dweng jang stew with ramen noodles and brisket on top. It was also delicious. The place was so good we went back the next night. This time, we asked for the stew early because the night before we were too stuffed to enjoy the soup. Highly recommend. Not a cheap place, but the quality and service make up for it.
Amazing, super authentic. Come ready to get smoke on your clothes, it’s part of the experience. You won’t regret it.

Origin is a super chill Korean BBQ spot tucked away in Koreatown. I love that it’s not overcrowded like some of the more popular spots, but the quality of food is fantastic. The marinated short ribs were tender and full of flavor, and they also have a good selection of banchan. The service was quick, and the waitstaff were very attentive. It’s perfect for a casual night out with friends

We came because of BLACKPINK’s Lisa, and the experience totally exceeded our expectations! The interior has a stylish retro-industrial vibe, and there’s a wooden plaque with Lisa’s signature on the wall—definitely a must-snap spot for fans. What we loved most was the tableside grilling service—no need to cook anything ourselves, which made the meal super relaxing. Even the menu is designed like a newspaper—very creative! Great atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended!
