Parks2Go has been our go-to spot whenever we have a large gathering at home. Not only is the meat quality as phenomenal as eating at the restaurant, but they ensure everything is packed up well with ice for travel. Sauce, kimchi and banchans are fantastic.
They even saved our Thanksgiving dinner this year with delivering the missing LA Galbi from our order. ❤️Parks and their amazing staff!!

It’s a famous Korean BBQ restaurant among Koreans in LA. There seem to be a good reason for being chosen as Michelin.

One of the best meals in LA. Amazing service and superb quality meat. Be sure to book ahead. We ordered the “P1” combo for 2 peoples which was plenty. It also comes with 5/6 side dishes including Kimchi, potato, rice cakes and other veg.

Delicious. Combo 1 ($127?) is great for two hungry people

THE BEST Korean BBQ spot in LA and that I've ever had! We had the Combo 1 that served 4 of us with some left over.

To suggest Los Angeles as America’s Korean BBQ capital is easy, the sheer abundance in Koreatown outpacing most major cities, and while there is some debate regarding “the best” nearly all such discussions include Park’s in the conversation. Now part of Vermont Avenue since 2003, Chef Jenee Kim’s decision to name the Restaurant after a popular spot in Seoul paying off with Koreans inhabiting LA before catching fire with the city’s diverse population, Park’s eschews “AYCE” in favor of high-quality Produce and Proteins. Considered pricey by many, $3 to park one’s own car greeting diners in a steady rain, it was prior to 5:00pm that walk-ins were available, a quick vaccination check and squirt of sanitizer all that stood between the door and a grill-top table. Providing menus by QR Code, the list potentially overwhelming for first-timers given its breadth, it was only after having selected far too much Food for three that a “two meat” requirement was suggested, Stone-pot Rice nixed in favor of more Beef while the server took it upon himself to also add $12 Glass Noodles. Quiet in comparison to other trendy Los Angeles eateries, though noisier as capacity filled, Banchan arrived in ten-styles just prior to a young man placing thinly-sliced Bulgogi over fire, both Tofu and Kimchi standing out with Macaroni Salad and Cucumbers pleasantly quelching their heat. Undoubtedly using quality sourcing, the Rib Eye appropriately marbled but free of connective tissue, it was with these slices pushed to the side that marinated Short Rib took center stage, Parks Gal-Bi truly remarkable in terms of taste and texture while similar cuts cooked slow in Soup broke down almost without mastication. Less impressed by the Seafood Pancake, its Mussels, Shrimp and Squid lost to Cabbage and the base overcooked, perhaps it was for the best that Jap Chae was served because even though a lot went to waste the steaming hot plate was bright with spices and thankfully quite light.

I attended a dinner with a large party, which Park's accommodated with no problems. We were upstairs. The staff was extremely patient and attentive, making sure we all had what we needed and providing help in cooking the meat we ordered. Each dish was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the japchae and steamed egg. Very tasty all around.

High quality Korean BBQ spot where you order by the plate. I’ve been wanting to come here ever since I read about how Anthony Bourdain visited this spot, and came here in a group of 9 for a friend’s birthday on a Friday night. We made a reservation beforehand, and they seated us once the majority of the group arrived. Limited valet parking or street parking. Credit cards accepted. Stalled restrooms are available in the front. We ordered various meats, including bulgogi, brisket, pork belly, and short rib. They have combos available, but those apparently are meant for two people. The banchan they provided were similarly high quality and I really enjoyed the spicy fish cakes. We got the cold sweet potato noodles which they’re apparently known for; I wasn’t the biggest fan, but I could see how it could be refreshing about sitting in front of grilling meats. The kimchi pancake was a crowd pleaser and was super crispy. The soju and beer were ordered were really smooth and complemented the meal. You have to ask for rice paper if you want any. The restaurant was busy but the service was nice given the circumstances.

The food comes out SO quickly! Everything is delicious and meat melts off your tongue. But pace yourself even if they try to grill your meat quickly.

This well known Korean BBQ is a must when in LA. The food is amazing and everything is well prepared, tasty and authentic. The decor is not that great though the outdoor dinning area was nice but don’t come for the ambiance go for the food. We loved the spices and overall the dinner was special and experiential.
