“We recently flew into Los Angeles and stayed at an Airbnb in Santa Monica. Craving a quick and satisfying meal, we ordered BBQ + Rice through DoorDash, and it didn’t disappoint!

I got the Spicy Chicken bowl for $12, and it was delicious. The spice had a nice kick to it without being overbearing—a perfect balance that added great flavor to the dish. The portion was generous, and it left me feeling satisfied, which is exactly what I needed after a long day of traveling.

This spot is definitely worth considering if you’re in the mood for a flavorful, no-fuss meal. I’d absolutely order this again for a quick and tasty snack!“

“Best BBQ in the south bay area. I love BBQ food and this place is one of the best places for it. I've tried Woody's, Sauced, Lucilles, and Britts always comes on top. Service is also exceptional. I'm never disappointed whenever I go.“

“Drove from Pasadena for a couple sliced brisket sandwiches. Well worth the drive. Always delicious.“

“Just finished a fabulous dinner at the DTLA location! We got the Block Bowl and a Combo plate with Brisket and Pulled Pork - everything was delicious, the service was really warm and friendly, and the whole vibe was great! We’ve been eyeing this place for awhile and will definitely be back!!“

“One of the best all you can eat korean bbq places in torrance! Been here since I was a kid and my family enjoys eating here for ayce. The place is on the small side but can serve many groups as once, I have been reccomending this place since my early highschool years and even to this day. They have a lunch menu hours which are cheaper than dinner times of course. They also have an A or B menu, if you are gonna come try this place I reccomend trying the B menu set at least once, as their premium ribeye, galbi, and many of their special selections. Their service is very attentive and very easy to talk to, don't forget their salad bar and the steamed eggs which do not taste burnt like other places!“

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“Always fun arcade area fun dart games fun cool family environment also nice environment for co- workers music is ok. Drinks 🔥🔥 family loves the Ribs. The Sauced Team…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥😁👍🏾“

“So, I'm really picky when it comes to food and the last Korean BBQ place I went to made me not want to get Korean BBQ anymore. But we tried this place and it was excellent. The meats were good quality and tasty. They had just the right sauces and salts, and came around to help us organize and cook the meats. The side dishes were so good and when they ran low, the owners would fill them up again so we were never low on sides. Three bowls of rice was just enough for three people. We ordered the $88 meal which was plenty for three of us and would have been good for four. Will definitely go again.“

“The service was great & the food was soooooo good! I highly recommend the place for anybody to go eat here!“

“For a small cafe, this place is great with quick service and good food. My go to order is usually the Pokerito (Sushi Burrito wrapped in Nori). I usually order it with the Salmon Spicy Mayo. I've also had the Chicken Adobo Plate, Loco Moco, BBQ Pork Belly plate, grilled Salmon and Bone in Beef ribs (the larger ones) with mac salad and rice to die for. Flavors are consistent and I like the way they season the Mac salad.“

“The food was very delicious and the staff was very attentive - even if there was a struggle to hear properly. Good options and very kind patient staff

Vegetarian options: They have some side dishes, and a policy to not charge full price if youre not eating meat.“

“excelente servicio muy bien todo“

“I’m visiting a new area and I took a chance and ordered from DoorDash. I ordered a half a rack of ribs and even though they came very odd looking there was an extremely healthy portion. (There were not a lot of rib bones, but a lot of the bottom portion of the spare ribs, but I did not mind because it was a generous serving) The barbecue sauce was outstanding and all of the side dishes were delicious. They were running a two for one on some of the sides so I got a ton of food.“

“I've been in Los Angeles California for over 40 years. This one of the far most the most delicious soulfood i have had in years. Gave me a Lil taste of home. I'm sure other dishes are as delicious .“

“The chicken is always BOMB-TASTIC from this place, & they are speedy quick, too! I placed a pretty good sized order, less than an hour before their pick up "window" closed, & they still had it ready to go in plenty of time! They are always so sweet when I go to pick up, too, & will always give me extra pickled radishes! YUMMM! The savory aroma of their amazing chicken filled my car on my short drive home, & I couldn't wait to dive in like a,SAVAGE! :-P Thank you, b.b.q. chicken, for satisfying this cavegirl's craving tonight!

Parking: It's in a strip mall with other restaurants, on a busy corner, & I have seen the lot packed during the day. Parking is tight there during the day, & due to the busy corner, it's tough to get in & out of. However, I normally do my b.b.q. chicken runs in the evenings after half of the businesses in that strip mall have closed, so parking isn't an issue!“

“excelente Servicio.. Satisfecha 👏❤️“

“This is by far the best all you can eat AYCE Kbbq restaurant in Torrance. The staff were incredibly attentive and A++ for the cleanliness of the restaurant. 😊 I really like that most of the common cookable meats are out on the salad bar as well as vegetables, appetizers, all the sauces, fruits 🤤 all readily available to everyone - so you can easily get more. 😉 I highly recommend trying the beef belly, beef rib finger and marinated short ribs each cut was tender and flavorful. The cheesecorn, shrimp tempura, tofu soup and baked mussels were delicious side options and cooked to perfection. 😊💯“

“Really good, healthy food. When we went there, she made the sesame bread while we waited. And it was delicious. My beautiful wife and I have been going here for more than 20 years. And I've never had a bad meal here.“

“The only game in town. Other BBQ places could not shine Woody's shoes.“

“I had the beef rib. I pulled the bone out myself… no muscles needed just pull and eat the goodness. Hubby had the brisket. We both were full and happy with leftovers 😋😋😋👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️“

“It was delicious ?? The place was quiet and a bit intimidating but if you check out their website and look over their menu I don't believe you'll be disappointed. The food is a good size portion for the price. I ordered the chicken with tonkatsu. I was hungry and this hit the spot. I think they'd do well if it was a drive thru.“

“Take your bowl and stack it as high as you can... Press the food down so you can fit more in, because they love happy customers here! Food is fresh, delicious, and they cook it right in front of you.We didn't want noodles because we're gluten free (wheat/grain free) so they offered to add more meat and veggies. Who wouldn't want that?Gladly would I give greater praise, had I more than two thumbs!??“

“Formerly Gooey Looey’s from the’70’s Their Food is some of the Best“

“a LOT of food for the price. great customer service.“

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“Sei-Ko-En is a Japanese yakiniku restaurant in Torrance, Los Angeles. The restaurant is simply decorated with promotional menus and posters. Ventilation is not the strongest, so expect to be smelly after the meal. Servers are friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Food is reasonably priced and of good quality. The crunchy Bean Sprouts (USD 8) and Minced Raw Beef (USD 12.50) are both refreshing. Highly recommend the silky-smooth Raw Beef Liver (USD 12.50), which will rock your palate! Don’t forget to order the Mega Mug Sapporo Premium Beer (USD 12) to go with the juicy Kobe Style American Wagyu Prime Rib (USD 22) and flavorful Kobe Style American Wagyu Tongue (USD 22)!“

“muy bueno, lo recomiendo al 100, comida koreana.“

“Best BBQ hands down! I have been getting my Que for over 3 years now. So much they know me by name and my order. I'm a no sauce person and a lot of places can't deliver that "wow" effect when it comes to seasoning. But Rowes seasonings is to perfection. All the sides are fire, my favorite is the potato salad. Plates are well portioned, for a great price. And we ain't gonna talk about the Peach Cobbler??. Gotta get there early tho, because by 3 or 4 some food can be sold, that's just how good it is. No cap, I have business I do bi weekly in the area and I never leave without going thru and grabbing a plate. Keep bringing that ? Que Rowe I'm a customer for life!!!“

“This was my first experience at this establishment. First, I am satisfied with the welcoming atmosphere set by the representatives. Second, the wait time for the food was short. Finally, the food was A1. In particular, I got the teriyaki BBQ chicken and dumplings. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience.“

“I'm gonna miss LA, but Papi Tacos in Santa Monica made my last day unforgettable! Being conveniently close to the Fairmont, I swung by for a taste of something I just can't get at home. The platter for one was absolute perfection - an assortment of tacos that hit all the right spots. But let's talk about that consommé... it was like a warm hug for my tacos. Dunking each bite into that rich, flavorful broth was pure bliss. If you're ever in LA and craving authentic tacos, Papi Tacos is a must-visit. I'm already planning my next trip back 🤤🌮️.“

“We went as a family! We have a small child, so the kids’ club was really appreciated! Soft drinks, toys, and snacks were free all the time, which was fantastic. The BBQ was delicious, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great. The staff were all very friendly. Next time, I want to bring my parents along too. It was an absolutely wonderful place!“

“Was craving Thai food and was on our from LA to Orange County. Found this place to have excellent reviews on google. We ordered pad Thai , basil chicken and shrimp fried rice. The food tasted extra ordinary. Haven’t had such amazing food in a long time , that not only tasted exceptional but looked great as well. The service was awesome as well and so was the ambiance. Would definitely recommend.“

“Solid place for yakitori, with a menu that actually is more expansive than it looks at first glance. Chef Yoshi and his staff are excellent.

Just note it's pretty warm inside, which makes sense, considering a grill dominates the interior“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“Boss sauce hit the spot, my (almost) 2 year old tore it up! Love jimmy browns!“

“The service was exceptional. I told the cook that it was my first time there and didnt know what seasoning to put on it so he did it himself after asking me what I liked. He seasoned it perfectly. Very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. They also include a side of rice and bread. 10/10“

“Came here last night with My Family and all I can Say the Owner or Server we had there was amazing she genuinely gave us the greatest customer service we can ask for and all the food we ate was so delicious...I Will recommend this place 100% ☺️🙏❤ #MayGodBlessthisbusiness #littlefamilyowned ☺️❤“

“I am an original Phillips Gal...
From Lemerit Park to Crenshaw Blvd.
These two locations no longer exist.
I believe that I have only been to this Inglewood location only once since it's been here.
I decided to give them a try. Boi,Oh Boi -
I was overjoyed about my food and friendly service.
My food was over the top with the freshness, tenderness,taste and the portion size of the meat.
I told my family that if my Rib was a paint brush and flinged it, It would have broken off!!
Lol

Thanks to the cooks!!
Awesome job!!
I will be returning.“

“I got the family meal and everything tasted great“

“Walked in for the first time and wasn’t sure what to get, the cashier made a few suggestions and I quickly knew what I wanted. The Food and Service were top tier ! I got the Gyoza w/ Don’s Special Combo & man was it amazing !! MOST DEF coming back !“

“The steamed cypress tree was so neat and delicious that it had the best light taste that was more Korean than Korea.

Vegetarian options: You can steam the abundant vegetables in a cypress wood steamer and dip them in the sauce. The brisket is especially thin and soft, so this is the best restaurant that anyone of any age can enjoy. Highly recommended!

Parking: Ample parking is available right in front of the yard.

Kid-friendliness: It's clean and the table itself has a private partition.“
