Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Pasadena, CA

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“I've tried many different Kbbq's, mostly in OC and IE, and I gotta say this one here hit the spot! The meat was delicious, but what got me even writing a review was their spicy cucumber. Amazing! The best that I ever had! Can't stop thinking about it so much that it draws me to go back again for more. The service was incredible. She was super helpful and informative as well. Let us know they make everything there and don't buy by bulk (like the spicy cucumber). Definitely going back!“

“Hanu K-BBQ was a highly rated place in LA's Koreatown, so we decided to try it. Clearly review inflation. 4.7 on Yelp and Google. Big focus on getting 5 star yelp reviews. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and its own parking lot.
3.5% credit card fee. Their menu has the typical expensive a la carte meats, but lacks tofu stew.
Lunch Specials 11am-3pm/7days are a great bet.

Meal was fine but not super. Service was drop and go. Probably should have went back to Soowon Galbi or Parks BBQ.

Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering.

Food Review:
Marinated Beef Short Ribs + Buckwheat cold noodle soup ($34.99) lunch special was cooked at our table and consisted of 3 pieces. No BBQ smell at least. Decent quality and reasonable quantity. Huge bowl of cold noodles. Only 4 types of banchan. 8.5/10

Beef brisket soybean paste stew with tofu ($14.99) lunch special is not a big dish and was the closest thing to tofu spicy stew. Very spicy. 8/10

Overall - Good
Food - Good
Decor - Good
Service - Fair
Value - Good

Would we come back - No“

“Really good kbbq i loves their marinated kalbi and yukhoe, they also had really good banchan and good sake; the ambiance is also really nice since they keep the place bit dim its a great place for date night, taste wise its just as good as many of the ktown kbbq’s that Ive tried, the staff was super friendly as well, highly recommended“

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“Busy spot right in the heart of Alhambra. Many dining options on the block.

We arrived and we're instructed to check in to put our name on the list. Our wait time was about 15 minutes in a busy graduation day in the area.

We ordered promptly and the robot brought out items quickly. The banchan area is self service. They have other items available in that area. There is a beer on draft and nice selection of soju.

We went with the brisket, spicy bulgogi and spicy pork belly.

Service was timely and there when we needed it. Pricing is on PAR for AYCE locations.“

“Such a super fun place with yummy food! Bring your stretchy pants!!

The restaurant is clean and decorated to have a good time! The service was very friendly and helpful!

They offer both KBBQ and seafood boil. We had both and enjoyed each bite.

They also have a bar area offering sides for your KBBQ and so many roll choices.

We had the premium menu and took advantage of their amazing offer of a free boil (deal ends soon, check restaurant). The premium menu had plenty of choice meats offered including seafood choices such as shrimp and octopus.

The servers there were quick to change out the grill for us and make sure we had everything we needed.

The boil itself was generous and tasty. We had the house special flavor, which I recommend! In their boil they offer one crab or lobster pp. we had one of each and wow! Felt special!

We will be back!“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“I are here several times at the bar. Cooked on the open fire and had a few great conversations“

“Like the food clean place the waiter and waitress are courteous“

“All you can eat for $40👏🏽👏🏽“

“Popped in because its always time for meat. Loved tge atmosphere, and the language lessons in the bathroom. The food was great. The only downside was lack of my favorite banchan and the high prices of solutions. I'll be back.

With my own bottles. ;)“

“Good food, great service. What more can you ask for?

We made reservations online via Yelp and a day before our reservations (a little under 24 hours), I received a text message to confirm them. All you have to do is hit 1 and reply to the text or go to the link provided and it'll take you to the app to confirm. Super convenient!

Our other party arrived minutes before we did as we were stuck in traffic and the staff immediately said the table was ready. My family opted to wait for us and we arrived shortly after noon.

Once we all together, we were immediately seated and was pleasantly greeted by our lovely server. She was amazing and super attentive! She provided recommendations and we placed our orders immediately. Both tables chose the $39.99 all you can eat option.

Tables were both set up with starters that included a house salad, macaroni salad and kimchi. Table settings included plates, plastic cups for water, utensils, napkins and sauces.

We all started with the Boneless LA Galbi, LA Galbi and PRIME Boneless Short Rib. Meat was tender and delicious and the dipping sauces were great. We also ordered sides of the following (with the first being the best in our opinion):
- Cup Ramen Fried Rice
- Korean Fried Chicken Bites
- Corn Cheese
- Loaded Tots (Cheetos)
- Gyoza (Beef & Vegetable)
- Steamed Egg

Everything was piping hot and made to order for the sides. I highly recommend making reservations as lines were starting to form about 30 minutes after we arrived. Parking can be a little difficult if you're street parking but there are plenty of spaces available all on Spring St.

We are definitely coming back! Thanks, DTLA AYCE KBBQ!“

“The service is what makes this place top notch (on top of the food of course)! Every single employee we interacted with were professional, attentive, and quick. I came here visiting from Washington State, and my nephew recommended this place along with others. I'm glad we ended up here! I even brought my parents who aren't as adventurous with foods and they also liked it! We got the premium TGI Ayce and it did not disappoint - the variety of proteins and sides for this selection was delicious! I would definitely come here again when I'm in town!“
