“The original Baekjeong location has now changed to Origin Korean BBQ. The meat quality is excellent, and the barbecue is expertly done. Service was quick, and the prices are fair. The only downside is the buckwheat noodles; they're too tough in texture . Overall, I'm satisfied and definitely plan to return.“

“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.“

“If you want good Filipino food from a family owned cozy staple in Filipino town then this is the place to go! Came by here during a visit to LA and it was recommended by some friends who live in the neighborhood and I was not disappointed at all. Here are some takeaways:EnvironmentThis is a small cozy restaurant that has a family style vibe to it. A great welcoming energy, we felt right at home. We stopped around midday during the week so it wasn't a lot of people there. Overall it was relaxing and warm - great for lunch with friends or if you're alone and want to grab a bite to eat.ServiceOur server happened to also be the daughter of the owners. She was great and was happy to share some of the history of the restaurant with me. She was very helpful with telling us about the food and giving us recommendations. Great service!Food and drinksWe had a little bit of everything - and all of it was great! Here's a run down of everything we had:MAMA LEAH'S COCONUT BEEF ADOBOANN'S CORNBREAD BIBINGKASTEAMED WHITE RICENOEL'S SMOKED GOUDA MACSAN PABLO PULLED PORKEverything was delicious. The coconut beef (amazing!) was great with the steamed white rice, the mac and cheese was tasty, the pulled pork had a lot of flavor and the cornbread was warm and sweet, but not too sweet. Again - all the food was great.OverallLovely family owned restaurant. So glad that we stopped by here. If i'm ever in LA again this will definitely be a place I'll visit again. Great food with a great story.“

“Be prepared to spend some extra cash for a lunch outing. The line is long so if you don’t like to wait come on one of the weekdays that they are open. The food is good extra rich so beware if you’re the sensitive stomach or heartburn type. So try the key lime pie or the banana pudding because they will run out and it’s delicious!Overall, definitely save this place in your “want to goes”“

“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!“

“First time coming here, we ordered the kimchi fried rice, beef galbi plate, and grilled shrimp plate - it was all soo delicious! Probably the best kimchi fried rice I've ever had, and it had an overeasy egg! I got it to go but it was quick and made fresh. Will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“We tried the diamond set. The meat quality of the 1st round was really good. But the quality of a5 wagyu was not as good after the 1st round. Sweet shrimp was not that fresh, and the steam egg portion was too big. The wagyu sandwich was not good at all and way too dried. Overall, it was a great experience.“

“Experienced a traditional Korean dinner. I want to acknowledge how exquisite the service is. My family and I felt so welcomed and cared for. We ordered the combo A which came with 3 meats of your choice, soybean stew and a drink. In addition, we ordered 2 of the cold noodles. The cold noodles come in large portions and is perfect for sharing! When we ordered 2, the staff was so kind to already divide the soup into 4 bowls and I still couldn't finish it lol. Very generous on the noodles. Pairs well with the mustard and vinegar they offer on the side. The combo A was very fitting and the quality of the meat did not disappoint! Though it may be pricey, it's worth every penny. I would recommend the short rib, brisket and pork belly. Overall, the dishes felt like home. Not too heavy on seasoning yet filled with flavor. I will be a returning customer!“

“The soup taste, quality, quantity, and side dishes including crab are definitely the best. However, I could be stressed because I was busy, but I felt bad when one of my aunts was unfriendly. Other servers brought it to me, but no matter what I asked for, they wouldn't give it to me... Still, this is the best soup in Koreatown.“

“One of the best Korean barbecues in LA the meat is great quality. There could be a little bit of weight because they don’t take reservations, but it’s totally worth it. you can get a drink while you wait for your table. We always go in groups and get the beef combo that comes with a soup. The Wagyu is also really great.Parking: Depending on time of day, you might find street parking with meters or free street parking. the plaza also has limited parking spots.“

“I go to pigya at least once or twice a month. The food is good. When it was newer restaurant, they would be attentive and nice. The filipina server who used to work there was friendly. But lately have noticed service is not so good. They were rushed. Connie works wells in managing the restaurant but needs to work on customer service. She is not a good server. We asked Connie for no onion to be bought out with the meat and she ignored the request this last time. ANOTHER server was doing everything in a hurry and rushed. They usually cook the veggies and put it on top, this guy just let the meat and veggies(mushrooms and sweet potato) get cooked more than usual. They blow torch the rice but the guy left it on the grill went to do something else and then came back to melt the cheese when rice was getting harder.“

“Super amazing marinated short rib, even my friend who doesn't like meat liked it. If I ever went again that would be the only thing I buy. But it could be very pricey for the quality and quantity (we got course C and an extra order of marinated short rib + two steamed eggs and a japchae)- which is a major con for them vs other kbbqs around town. They did have so many side dishes that it couldn't fit the table!! I was really disappointed they stuffed my party of 6 in such a small table for 4 when the whole restaurant was basically empty at Thursday Lunch. The small table made the experience a bit underwhelming. Food was great though!“

“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.“

“A good place to have bbq after work. Food is great portion! We’re 4 girls and ordered the combo for 2 guys plus one other dish. And we’re all full. The staff is very nice, he mentioned the amount is enough for girls. Not asking us to order more.“

“It's a straightforward all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ joint with quick service and seating. While it may not be top-tier, it's definitely a fun experience if you're not too particular. However, parking is scarce and somewhat sketchy. I witnessed a couple of guys devouring food as if they were competing champions, and the server didn't seem to mind if they cleaned out the entire place.“

“Met with a long time college friend here for lunch and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing, the mala taboki was my favorite. My friend and I shared 6 Yubu, sushi roll, and a hand roll to go. Staff was very friendly and we were told our food will take 10-15 mins to prepare due to the delicate and meticulous nature of preparation and honestly didn't mind. Can't rush good quality meal! Space had ample parking, spacious and even accommodate wheelchair accessibility. You can tell the chef and team put a lot of of care into their food but also making sure all parties feel welcome King Yubu, the official King of LA“

“We came here at around 8 o'clock on a Wednesday night, and we still had to queue up. The most exaggerating thing is that after we almost finished eating, it was already around 10 o'clock, and there was still a queue outside. This is enough to prove the popularity of this restaurant, and it turns out that it is really tasty. The quality of the beef here is really good, definitely not the ordinary AYCE, there are many choices, very tender and flavorful. My favorite is their marinated short rib, and brisket, must order! Another feature here is that the pot is made of stone instead of the traditional iron plate. It feels better to be heated and the roasted beef is also very tender.“

“We were planning on going to lucilles for bbq but then it started raining and hubby said to search for a bbq spot near by and let me tell you im GLAD this place was so so good! We got there when it was almost closing so they only had pork ribs and potatoe salad so thats all we got but it was delicious. Ribs were fall of the bone and the sauce was amazing and potatoe salad had every right taste from sweet to softness. 10/10 reccomend and service was excellent too very friendly people.“

Taco, burrito, and quesadilla You can put avocado beans and rice and cheese.“

“Seoul Soul is a good KBBQ option with good quality. They have 3 menus and I would say upgrading to the middle level is definitely worth it. There’s a lot to choose from: beef, chicken, pork, seafood, etc. they have all sorts of cuts too. Their meat is pretty marbled and tender. If you can’t cook, the server can handle it. They also have a parking lot in the back but it gets full fast.Parking: They have a very small parking lot“

“We've been coming here for years and I think I've been to this spot more times than any other place in ktown! They basically have 3 items on the menu: Duck, Duck, or Duck. Pro tip: If it's your first time here, just get the basic duck slices and your banchan and here's why. Although the duck here is delicious, the highlight of the meal really comes at the end. Koreans make a big deal about duck fat and it's health benefits over other types of unhealthy fat. So as you're grilling your duck in the center of the table, they plug up the grill with a small piece of kimchi and let that golden clear duck fat pool up at the end of the grill. When you're done, she'll come out with a big bowl of korean red rice, dump it into that crystal clear duck fat along with all of your remaining banchan (make sure to leave enough or order more!) and make the best fried rice from your leftover duck fat, that you've ever eaten anywhere.... This is the way. So the 3 duck dishes are basically duck slices, duck strips, or spicy marinated duck. If you order the spicy duck, it messes up the grill and fat a little and the rice is not quite as good. Definitely try it on your second visit (and you will be back after your first) but keep it simple for your first time!“

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.“

“This is still my favorite place for cold noodle. I have been at this restaurant for at least 20 years now. It still tastes the same. I always order cold noodle and bulgogi. Compared to 20 years ago, they did expanded the place to fit more people. They still serve the same ban chan side dishes. Although they increased the prices, I still will come back. I love this place. Parking is hard to find when it gets crowded. So be aware.“

“Best thai place I had in awhile. Great value. I had the beef satay and my wife had the chicken satay. Beef satay is bomb. I recommend the cucumber salad over the papaya salad. It had a subway veggies type of taste. My wife is picky and ended up loving it. Be here soon again. 17 bucks average meal.“

“Cat robot servers, a self-serve bar, over 30 selections for Korean BBQ, and it's only $34.99 per person??! I think I may have just found my new favorite KBBQ spot and it's in Torrance!Waiting for the grill to get hot is like the most aggravating few seconds of KBBQ, does anyone else feel me on this?? But the fact that they have yummy apps like baked mussels (my fave!) ready to eat and banchans makes it worth the wait.They've got all your quintessential favorites like jiggly steamed egg and corn cheese, and all the toppings you need to make your perfect bite.Thanks for reading! ^-^“

“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.“

“I love bludsos, have a great fondness for Robert earl's.... But the food I just had from Wrigley bbq was a life changing experience. I have never had burnt ends so good, ribs so flavorful. It was all amazing. After one meal I am a fan for life and will follow them anywhere. Plus they are genuinely awesome people which helps. Though they could be the devil incarnate and I'd still comeback for a Portland sandwich.“

“If you like a lot pepper on your moist brisket, then this place is for you. I spent over $70 on pulled pork and moist brisket. Super rich and fatty. Seasoned to the max. Almost too much. Nothing special to be honest. I felt like I had similar seasoned brisket before. The pickled onions and pickles are a nice break from the moist brisket. I wish the brisket had more smoke flavor. Would I be back? No, but the family who runs it were super nice and friendly“
“This is my first time trying Korean-Latin cuisine, which is so delicious! The owner suggested ordering the kalbi cheese fries which I'm glad that I ordered it! I got the rock combination plate and double cheeseburger as well! They have a self serve salad bar near the front which is convenient! The staff here so very friendly and it was a little empty at that time we came in so they were able to help us out! I loved how they put the posters around the store!“

“Beware that it only opens on Friday afternoon. It's a chill place in the front yard. I got the Tlayuda with moronga. Very delicious and fulfilling.

“Good small family owned spot. The staff is super friendly and helpful if you have questions. Theresa helped us and was knowledgeable about the menu and made good suggestions. I see her help others make selections as well. Not only was she helpful but had a mailed for everyone that came through the door. The BBQ smells delicious but we went for a cold sandwich. Next time will definitely try the BBQ. We got The Guido which is a fully loaded Italian sandwich with Ham, Mortadella and Soppressata . It's everything you look for in an Italian sandwich, the meat is quality and the ham has a nice smokiness. The bread is super fresh and soft and fluffy. The acidity from the dressing cut the fatty delicious nature of the cured meats perfectly. They have a good selection of soda's that are made with real can sugar which is nice. They have a small patio out front that is dog friendly. Definitely will be back for both the food and the great service.“

“This place is so good.Food: the food selection is chef's kiss. The glass meat cuts are generous and the quality of the meats are very good. They have a good selection of side dishes but one thing I always look for is the steam egg...and they have it!Price: The price is unbeatable for the quality cuts that we get to eat. We paid $27.99/person for the A&B menu.Service: We arrived a little after they opened so there was no waiting time and the waiters were super attentive.Dessert: Their ice cream is so good. It's taste just like Chick-fil-A's ice cream.Con: the only cone is that their tongs and scissors could be replaced with newer ones. The scissor was very dull and couldn't cut the meat nicely. The tongs were stretched opened or not align so it was hard to get a good clamp on the meat.Overall, we still love it!“

“Wow, with inflation nowadays, it's hard to find an all-you-can-eat spot with decent pricing. Located in the Plaza Mexico, you'll find this spot apart from the plaza buildings with it's own free parking lot. Luckily, my friend and I made a stop here since he was craving kbbq. I've heard of the other location, but the other location isn't all-you-can-eat like this spot. We decided to go with the lunch menu C. We started with the brisket then moved our way to the galbi and boneless short rib. We enjoyed all the banchan sides. We also ordered corn cheese, steamed egg, and tofu soup. OMG! Their tofu soup is probably the best I've ever had at a kbbq spot. It had tender cuts of meat, which many spots only have tofu in their stew. The also have macarons and ice cream available for dessert. We love a sweet bite after something as savory as kbbq. The service was amazing. I know it's very rare to hear of a kbbq spot to have wonderful service, but Kat was such a delight. There was also another young lady who also worked the same shift. Everyone was attentive and sweet. There are plenty of seatings inside for small and big groups of people! Honestly, with the quality and the pricing, you can't beat this all-you-can-eat!“
