“Very delicious food worth every penny and the michelada was one of the best that I have ever tasted

Wheelchair accessibility: The back entrance is level with the parking and restaurant“

“Brings back memories. I lived in Hawaii and eaten at L&L Hawaiian BBQ many times. So my expectations were a bit high and displaced did not disappoint. I ordered the mixed grill and it was delicious. The meat and macaroni were excellent. The white rice was white rice. Definitely taste at the food I had in Hawaii. If I had one negative view, it would be the price, $17 for the plate, but I guess it’s a sign of inflation in this economy.“

“Exceptional Yakiniku experience! Ben's knowledge and attention to detail made our visit memorable. The premium meat selection is remarkable, particularly the marbled wagyu cuts. The contemporary atmosphere and high-end grills create an elegant setting.“

“Meet quality really nice to me Good service!“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow“

“Highly commendable service and absolutely stunning set menu! we went here for dinner last night for our Halloween date night! Their wagyu cuts are 100% top-grade and not just random "wagyu" that are below the marks. We tried their A5 and M9 meats, not to mention their salmon carpaccio that is to die for. Their sides are absolutely delicious and smart, one great example is their fried pork buns that is like a spin on soup dumplings. To top it off, you get premium ice cream in the end. Their salad is so good with yuzu and smokey salt, plus you get a chili mix too. They serve the meats fast plus your tablet menu is in front of you so you don't have to keep calling the staff to refill. I give them 9 stars! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

“Good food. Great service. Very understanding and accommodating staff.“

“Door dash.
First timer ordering at Big Ant's. Baby back ribs: falling off the bone is as advertised. Im really hoping it will always be consistent.the texture was perfect. I unfortunately have very low tolerance for spicy and they accommodated me with the tangent bbq sauce. I wish you guys success. They've been open for 5 years real close to where I live and if it weren't for a random door dash urge to look at bbq, I wouldn't have discovered Ant's. Thanks again guys. Yall made my lunch wonderful today. Soul lifted 🙏🏼“

“The meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.“

“We haven't been disappointed at Ruby Red. Food and service is the best.“

“In my culinary experience with a discriminating palette, Ray's Texas BBQ (featuring their premium Wagyu Brisket) clearly stands above BBQ eateries throughout Southern California. The flavor and texture alone defies description.

For a glimpse, see photos. Sadly, I nearly devoured my order not 1st taking pics myself. It's just that damn delectable.

I eagerly await the day they bottle/market their lemonade
- truly Nectar of the Gods...

The entire staff, are always most accommodating and the facility, consistently immaculate.

Ray's legacy and legendary cuisine flourishes on, for the world to behold and enjoy.

Very special thanks to Raul & family. Luv you guys.“

“Great service and food . The best ribs in Cerritos“

“Food was delish❤️friendly services“

“Came here pretty much when they opened for the day, there was already some people inside for a Saturday. When we finished eating, the restaurant was barely half full?

Food wise, the bbq meats are pretty decent cuts for what you pay for and the big shrimp we ordered is actually pretty good. They didn't have a real fishy smell, which is a plus, knowing some places just serve what they have sitting out.

There is a sauce bar with appetizers near the front of the restaurant, the bar itself is already baked into the price, there isn't any extra fee. There is also a self serve sherbet freezer with three flavors: vanilla, chocolate, and rainbow, as of writing this.

For the non grill foods, the soup and cold noodles are decently portion, definitely should split it up with others so you don't overfill. The popcorn chicken can be ordered as a half order, and to my surprise, it actually is pretty decent in terms of texture and juiciness, only downside is I wish they used some spice in the coating to give it a bit more oomph.

Overall, if I am ever in the area here, I might consider coming back when I'm looking for AYCE.“

“Had the Texas prime beef brisket sandwich. I’m from Texas and tastes like home. Definitely check this place out. Will be coming back for sure!!!“

“I’ve only gotten the stock burger which is very good. Hoping perhaps one day I’ll be hungry enough for the max rib“

“We went for the first time today and boy was it delicious! I had the brisket bowl my husband had the 405 sandwich and we shared the brisket loaded fries, it was all delicious there was nothing left! Cudos to the person that is smoking the meats in Artesia location and the staff😊“

“Food came in to our bellies real fast maybe the fact that it wasn't that busy had to do. Price is above average for BBQ and it's quality. Their garlic bread is delicious and the atmosphere not too loud. Their sauce if not that exiting but not bad as well.“

“10 out of 10! Highly recommend! This place has everything you can possibly imagine as far as barbecue and sides. We ordered the sample platter and were able to feed 4 of us with leftovers for two days later and let me tell you that Turkey in a sandwich the next day is phenomenal!
Pit and Bull offers generous portions and has a very friendly staff who are ready & willing to answer any questions you might have.
We don't have to look any further for barbecue as this is going be our new go to place!“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“This place is great and something I've been wanting to try for awhile and glad I didn't finally.

I had their barbacoa tacos guisados which was very tender and with cheese added. Their salsa bar added a lot to flavor to it and the barbacoa was very tender. Their chikali taco comes with beans and guacamole and I got it with carne asada. The asada was charred very well and seasoned very well also. The beans went well with it and were not soggy. The staff was very nice and helpful in describing what was available, popular, recommended and what they thought it should have.

There's some seating next to their shop which is convenient. Their agua frescas was very good also according to my friend. It was his favorite place so far when I took him the multiple taco joints in east LA.

I'd come back here to try their breakfast/chorizo items“

“Great place for a group to hang out, drink, and eat some food. Very cool atmosphere. Like an old timey tavern from Chinese dramas. Good, fast service. Order food on a tablet. There are options to omit scallions and cilantro for people who don't like them. You can also call the servers from the tablet, otherwise they leave you alone. Had a live performer (singer) when we went.“

“this place are amazing the og burritos was so delicioso service was great thanks to JC this guy are A_Plus good customer services“

“fantastic food!! awesome cook owner! highly recommend!“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Bbq Pull Pork Sandwich With Potato Salad Was Delicious. I Will definitely be coming back to try the brisket sandwich next. 😊“

“This place is an amazing dining experience. A great alternative to Korean bbq or hot pot, you order different skewers and let them cook in front of you, then enjoy. All the different meats and vegetables were delicious and offered lots of variety so there is something for everyone. The grill automatically twirls the kebobs giving an even cook, and the sauces and spices are very flavorful. Very helpful staff and clean interior.“

“Food: 4*
Service: 5*
Ambiance: 5*

Stopped by here with a colleague. We ordered the $19.99 lunch special. He offered to give us a mix of all the different meats on this menu so we could try them. There are specific ban chan you can get like Kimchee, fish cake, potato salad etc. The service was great, very attentive, helpful and friendly. I will return with a larger appetite.“

“I had a great experience at [Skewer Place Name]! The variety of skewers was impressive, and the flavors were bold and delicious. The meat was tender, and the seasoning was spot on. The veggie skewers were also fresh and cooked perfectly.

The ambiance was cozy and lively, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. Service was friendly and attentive, though it is a bit pricy for skewers.“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“Super awesome to see, South El Monte has so much Asian foods and they are all delicious. A lot of people in South El Monte love Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese cultures and so the businesses in the area thrive. I also enjoy getting Korean BBQ meats in the South El Monte City or a nice hot meal at the Daikokuya Japanese Ramen place on Garvey. I noticed that a lot of people in Korean Town over in Los Angeles were starting to purchase up commercial real estate and launch businesses in South El Monte. In a recent merger and acquisition of a major grocery store business chain in South El Monte, it had become Korean owned as well and started to add many awesome products such as canned boba drinks. South El Monte is one of the most vibrant, diverse, and sweet pockets of hidden gem Asian foods in California and the San Gabriel Valley. When I go to school on the East Coast, I really miss it.“

“Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! ! ! ! !
Yesterday, my friend brought me to eat it once and I fell in love with it. I can’t wait to come here and try it myself again today.
It’s really delicious. I’m willing to drive a luxury car and live in a mansion just to eat here every day.“

“Tastes absolutely delicious and exactly the same as it did 30 years ago! Teriyaki chicken, order the #1 and you'll be happy!“

“Amazing food, service, and vibes. Chan is the man, and his food is so good, especially the lemon pepper wings. Perfection. Sliders were so good, bun toasted to perfection. They have a nice patio and service was super fast. Highly recommend!“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“best pulled pork & barbecue chicken! it was just a bummer they ran out of ribs🙄 i will catch on next time.“

“This our first time here. We came at almost closing ( 840pm) but the employee was really nice to accomodate and still help us with the food. We ordered a combo 2 for $29 ( only online) n got it to go since they almost close. The food came out hot and portion is generous, they gave a lot of meat and sides r delish. For a bbq chain this is really good quality. Fries r crispy n well seasoned, mac cheese was good, bbq sauce was delishhh. The toast was soft but crunchy at the same time, very buttery. The meat is so juicy and tender and soft fall off the bone type. I couldnt finish my plate in 1 go n i was pretty hungry! Definitely will be back again :) 9/10“

“This is a very clean location the workers are kind, great customer service, great food. Love this place.

Parking: Lots of parking

Kid-friendliness: They got high chairs I believe and coloring pages for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have tables for the disabled.“

“Absolutely loved my experience at Ziggle K BBQ in Artesia! This place offers an authentic and traditional Korean barbecue experience that's perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a variety of delicious meats and classic Korean sides. The ambiance is spot-on—a cozy, traditional KBBQ setting with smokeless tabletop grills that let you cook your own meat. It really adds to the interactive dining experience!

We tried the garlic pork belly (so flavorful), brisket (a classic favorite), beef belly (it melted like butter), and the bulgogi (perfectly marinated and so tender). The corn cheese was incredibly creamy and paired perfectly with the savory meats. Plus, the banchan selection was fresh and yummy—everything was spot on!

The service was excellent, and the staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. I also appreciated their lunch special ($22.99 on weekdays) and happy hour discounts on all alcohol and fountain drinks (20% off). It's an amazing deal for the quality and variety of food they offer!

If you’re looking for a delicious Korean BBQ spot, Ziggle K BBQ is the place to be. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Korean cuisine or wants to explore it in an authentic, welcoming environment!“

“quality meat, quality service, good atmosphere, clean restrooms, huge parking, what more can you ask for? highly recommend, will come back for many times. do the $55 premium ayce, worth the money! huge selection of banchan, did i mention quality service?“

“Thee best in the west And fast service“

“Came here a bunch of times and never disappointed. The food is delicious and they give a great amount of it, especially for the price. The only little problem is that it has happened that few times they didn't understand my instructions (just no veggies lol) even though i asked repeatedly. I think is just because English is not the owner's first language, so as long as you make sure they understood you are good to go! I recommend 100%“

“Gus Deli is Good But Expensive for some items“

“From the east coast of Buckroe Beach, Virginia to Compton, California, we stopped through Rena’s BBQ soul food spot in Compton and I got to say the food was very delicious especially the greens. When my family and I left we were full and satisfied. You get plenty food for the money. If you stop the LA area give them a try. Thanks again fellas for the hospitality. We will be back!“

“Just went here 8/3/25...gotta say this place is a definite must try..Me and my wife got the malai chicken roll and the chicken leg/ thigh plate and a garlic naan...this place is bangin 🔥..chicken was well seasoned, not dry with tons of flavor...customer service was great! Something that's rare these days..no photos to post cuz we were too hungry lol Definitely coming back, two thumbs up 👍🏾“
