50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Redondo Beach

“Best bbq I’ve ever had, nicest family serving 💚💥“

“This place deserves to be on every foodie’s checklist. A must-eat in Redondo Beach!“

“I was craving Mongolian food and decided to stop by Red Grill since I was in the area. As a first-timer, the staff was very friendly and guided me through the process, which I really appreciated. The food was good, though not the best I’ve had.“

“I’ve haven’t been to L&L Hawaiian BBQ in a long time because I’ve been quarantined in my house in Hermosa Beach due to the COVID-19 Virus. My friend😎JakeBok and I are definitely looking forward to some Hawaiian dining“

“My first time to dine here. Enjoyed the food n I got just enough for me to eat.Food was really good.“

“Good portions for the price
I ordered the 2 meat plate which came with 2 sides and a drink. It came to about 30 after tax and it was worth it.

The beef link was spicy and delicious, the amount of brisket I got was surprisingly large and the corn was amazing.

The staff were extremely kind and I would definitely come back again.“

“Great FOOD! Glad to have you so close once again! 🥰“

“I'll get into the food review later, but first I have to say that the customer service here was top-notch. In all my wisdom, I picked like the busiest weekend to finally decide to try eating here for the first time. So understandably, the owner was absolutely swamped and there was a little wait. I didn't mind, I ordered something simple for my first time anyways, and he was up front with the fact that there would be a wait. We got to talking when I did get my food, and they genuinely care about providing good service and getting orders right here. I love that, it's something I really miss seeing in businesses. It was a good little chat. Based on that alone, I am happy to come again.

But the food! Ahhh it was delicious. The rib I had was so good that I had to text my sister after the first bite to tell her she missed out when she came to visit me. I tried both sauces and I really liked the spicy one more than I thought I would, just because these days I'm getting more sensitive to spice. But it was a very reasonable level, super flavorful for me. My brisket was excellent too. I think the pricing was also pretty good, but I'm not an expert there. Next time I'm gonna try some sides :D

I'm happy I finally came by today, and I'm looking forward to coming again!“

“Really enjoyed my visit to this Bull BBQ restaurant spot. The meat was incredibly flavorful and high quality, and everything tasted delicious. The service stood out too, our server she was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend & I will definitely be coming again very soon!“

“Ribs and chocolate cake, and sweet smashed potatoes and mac n cheese were superb. As was the tri tip salad. Service was the best. I wish I could teach ALL restaurants how to make regular mashed potatoes, especially if they aren't serving gravy. Never the less, 5 stars.“

“very nice foods all are fresh especially the kimchi“

“I was craving ribs & collard greens- so we went out and got some! What I was not expecting was the largest rib I’ve seen in a WHILE!
Thank you for explaining your menu to us and for the woman on register for genuinely being such kind people to us and others as we sat to eat. :)“

“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 😋😋😋👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️“

“Ko Ryo Jung Restaurant is one of my favorite spots for Korean BBQ! The AYCE is very affordable, and the quality of the meat is surprisingly good for the price. Everything tasted fresh and well-marinated, and there were plenty of options to choose from.

The servers are friendly, attentive, and quick to change the grill and bring refills. The whole experience felt welcoming and comfortable.

Plus, there’s free parking, which makes it even more convenient. Great value for the quality — I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“We had a truly delightful experience at your Korean barbecue restaurant. The quality of the meats was exceptional, and the variety offered was impressive. Our server was attentive and provided excellent recommendations throughout the meal. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making for a very pleasant evening. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a fantastic K-BBQ adventure.“

“I took the risk yesterday and went to pop-up BBQ joint APL. They were working out of a restaurant in Marina Del Rey, so I thought reluctantly to give them a shot. I knew they were expensive and likely not the “traditional” BBQ quality that I grew up with in L.A. I’d seen on social media that APL Barbecue almost always sold out, so I arrived 2 hours early. No one was in sight. I thought I’d gone to the wrong location. I looked around and saw 5 large pallets of fire wood stacked up in the rear of the building. Had to be for the smokers I thought. This must be the right place. I was just super early. About 30 minutes later I noticed 4 pillars of smoke coming up from behind the hedges in the patio area. I failed to look there before and walked over to find 4 large BBQ smokers at work. They were being attended by an African American gentleman. He seemed to know what he was doing. I started feeling a bit better on the potential quality of APL’s BBQ upon seeing this brutha handling the cooking. This was my opportunity to maybe find out the truth about APL’s suitability to my discerning taste buds. I walked over to him and said, “Bruh, lemme holla at you a minute. I’m new to APL and want to get your read on the BBQ. You know that there’s a difference between what some people call good BBQ, and what you or me might consider good Q.” He gave me a wry smile and a knowing nod. I knew he understood what I was cryptically saying. He asked about my regional knowledge of BBQ, from which I explained my preferences for North Carolina, and Texas styles of Q. He said it was more like Texan BBQ, which happens to be my favorite. He said that APL was the “real deal”. I was feeling good and hungry now. They opened the doors at 12:30 pm. A kid started passing out cornbread samples. I happily took one. I’m as critical of the sides as I am with my Q. Cornbread is rarely great and mostly just ok of from most BBQ joints. I took a bite. It was moist and very good with a honey taste but not too sweet. Kind of a cornbread-cake combo. Another very good sign! When I got to the front of the order line, the Bruh offered me a sample of the pork ribs. I took a bite. It was spot on. Had a nice light tug but was very tender and easy to pull off the bone. I couldn’t ID the flavor profile, but liked it a lot. I ended up buying 1 beef rib bone, 1 rack of pork ribs, and some cornbread for a total cost of $150. More than enough for 2 people for a couple of days or so. The beef rib was the best I’d ever had. Tasted more like a very good brisket. The pickle relish was outstanding. I wish I could buy it in a store or better yet get the recipe. Needless to say as a BBQ skeptic and traditionalist, that APL is real and highly recommended even with their high prices. I’m told they will be back in MDR at the same spot next weekend. It’s located Washington Bl. & Abbot Kinney. Go on Sunday when they will also sell smoked cowboy ribeye steaks. I’m told the rack of lamb is also outstanding. Before I walked away with my heavy bag of Q, I saw the the brutha I’d spoken to earlier chopping up some meat. It was loud and crowded in the restaurant. I spoke loudly in a manner I knew would get his attention and said, “Bruh! You were right. Thanks!” He smiled and responded back with the “brutha nod”.“

“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.“

“Great BBQ food. Chicken, sausage, ribs, sides are good too. Bbq bean I like them. Potato was perfect. Mac cheese I'm not big on it but it was good too. Bbq sauce was a bit on the sour side for me. I like a sweeter taste. Over all my order was worth the price.💯👍 For sure to come again.“

“excelente servicio muy bien todo“

“it's an awesome place to eat and chill with friends“

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

“My date and I had dinner at Wagyu Butcher, and it was a wonderful experience for us both. We were seated almost immediately upon arrival, and the staff welcomed us with exceptional hospitality. Once we were seated, the atmosphere truly made me feel as if I were in Japan.
Both my date and I chose the Butcher’s Omakase course, the appetizers and every cut of meat was absolutely delicious. What really stood out to us was watching the staff cut the meats right in front of us, which made us truly appreciate the freshness and quality. We both upgraded the curry rice to the A5 wagyu sushi, which was incredible.
For drinks, we enjoyed plum wine, a Shochu Calpico cocktail, and Sapporo beer. To finish the meal, we ordered the green tea tiramisu, green tea pudding with honey, and the milk tea pudding all of which were delicious. The complimentary tea they provided to aid digestion was a very thoughtful touch.
The staff were all wonderful, and we even had a few conversations about Japan while dining. We will definitely be coming back soon.“

“At first didn't think much about the place due to the store front and name bbq chicken, figure it was just a regular chicken spot but I was in a mood for wings. While viewing the menu I was intrigued by the flavors offered. Once entering location it's was refreshing to smell and see the cleanliness and aroma of something that immediately caught my attention which had me anticipating greatness.. and thats not all, the service was to the Capital T. The gentleman at the register answer all my questions with plenty of recommendations based on my taste. I was more then pleased and I didn't even order yet. Once I ordered I couldn't wait for my honey garlic wings with a side of pickled radishes. After my order was completed I was handed a buzzer to inform me when my order was ready. Now I waited in the car not sure if there was seating in the back cause I didn't ask nor venture I just wanted to head to the car and express my opinion to my spouse.. no more than 10 -15 mins later give or take food was ready. Now let me tell you i very impressed by the smell. Plus the container was perfect fully closed with air pockets so the 🐔 could breath. Now this always makes a difference no matter how the food smell. Maintaining that crispyness I look for.. now let me get to this chicken. Boy/ Girl let me tell you, chicken sooooo good make you wanna slap your momma. Flavor 10, texture 10, plus the service 10, this a perfect game for me. Triple doubles. me and wifey was licking each other finger fighting for the last drip. Been a while since I had something this good in Cali. And I'm a new York wing head.. with this said I'll be back so I hope to see all y'all in there tomorrow, cause I'm definitely coming back, so lock me in for a lifetime membership. Was great to meet y'all at Bbq chicken in lomita“

“found out this was basically right across the street from our house so my dad and i just went there today for dinner…..food was amazing, definitely will go again“

“My family and I have been visiting this restaurant for many years, even when it was called Big Wok. The owner and cooks are amazing and friendly! The stir fry is always delicious. You can choose your protein & veggies , add noodles with a great selection of sauces. The sesame biscuits are like little pita Pockets you fill up.“

“So delicious and savory!!“

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“Fricken Awesome... At Food Journal Magazine we think every chef should try and incorporate at least one of these product`s in their menu. I have never heard of buffalo chicken egg rolls...mind blowing! Matthew Gregory Editor In Chief Food Journal Magazine“

“Honu Poke and Grill is the kind of place you try once and immediately start telling everyone about.

The spicy mayo salmon poke is hands down the best I’ve had — incredibly fresh, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The beef ribs are unreal — fall-off-the-bone tender with that rich, smoky BBQ flavor done just right. The beef galbi is just as impressive, perfectly marinated and grilled to bring out that sweet and savory combination. And don’t skip the chicken teriyaki with macaroni — it’s a must-try and such a satisfying, comforting combo.

The Hawaiian drink options are also super refreshing and really complement the food. They balance everything out perfectly and wash down all that freshness, making the whole meal even better.

Another huge plus is that they offer party trays for any gathering or celebration. It’s the perfect option if you want to impress guests with delicious, high-quality food.

Beyond the food, the experience makes it even better. The service is warm and attentive, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the restaurant is very clean and well-kept. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The owner is also incredibly kind and makes you feel genuinely appreciated as a customer, which goes a long way.

If you’re debating whether to check it out — do it. This place delivers on flavor, quality, and hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

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

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

“We met up with some friends when visiting Marina Del Rey and enjoyed a premium experience. They cooked up everything right in front of us, switching out the grill plates between meats and keeping things fresh.

Our group of 4 shared:

🥩 Set A - brisket, boneless shortrib, signature bulgogi

🍗 Namoo House Chicken

🥟 Dumplings

The set was for 2 people, but it comes with sides like salad, corn cheese, veggie pancake and typical bonchon. They even make ramen at the end, so coupled with the chicken and dumplings we ordered, this was more than enough food.

Excellent service, gorgeous clean interiors, generous portions and perfectly seasoned meats - this spot ticks all the boxes 😋“

“I ordered the rib tips & chicken link dinner. All I can say is 🔥🔥FIRE🔥🔥. I've been disappointed with BBQ joints lately. Woody's now has redemption!! Considering how busy it was, I was pleasantly surprised with the speed of service. Thank goodness for Woody's!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽“

“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. 😊💯“

“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.“

“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…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥😁👍🏾“

“Still great after all these years A nice variety of meat selections and super tasty.“

“My sister and I come here there food is always tasty she buys the beef ribs she let me taste one it was soo good worth every bite and meaty bone loved it. She always ask for no sauce or on the side the flavor is so good you dont need no sauce. Just texting about how good it was makes me want some. We don't live in the area my sister lives in Banning ca. Close by morongo casino. 84 miles one-way. I live in Rancho Cucamonga CA. She bought two slabs of beef ribs and she bought me 2 orders of rib-tips she ask for sauce on the side. Unfortunately. My food had sauce and the sauce for me had heat. I couldn't eat it had to give my tips away cause my sister doesn't eat pork but I saved it for my brother he lives in Simi Valley he was glad to get them. I had them before without the sauce rib tip they were tasty, just this time they made a mistake and my food was at the bottom of the bag it had so much sauce on both rib tips the brown paper bag was soaked. My sister beef ribs was on top she was ready to go back home because we came so far trying to get on fwy get back before all that traffic. 84 miles driving back home. We bought meat only.“

“Great quality meat and wagyu. You need to get the wagyu plates to try all the different meats. Beautiful Yakiniku place with veggie options and they change out your stove promptly. Oxtail soup and wagyu sushi plate was delicious as well. Staff was so nice :)“

“My first time trying this restaurant, and it did not disappoint! I’m usually very particular when it comes to the taste of Chicken Tom Yum, but theirs was on point. The service is great, and the staff are very attentive. My food was fresh and came out very quickly. I also tried Mango Stick Rice for the first time, and it was very tasty. Only downside is that it wasn’t cold, but i’m not sure how it’s supposed to be served. The Thai Tea was also very delicious and all servings were generous. I will definitely be back!“

“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 !“

“I got the family meal and everything tasted great“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“muy sabrosa y delicious la comida lo recomiendo y sobre todo El servicio muy bien“

“It was seriously so good. My friends and I were looking for a place that was open late after playing cards, and this place hit the spot! It was 116 for five of us, and they kept refilling our sides whenever we ran out. Honestly, we've decided this might be our weekly spot to go to! A real gem“

“Good food and friendly staff“

“Food is not bad. Grill is very small - good for 2 people but not for 3 or more.
Ventilation is pretty bad, your hair and clothes won’t survive the bbq odor with smoke directly hovering into your face most of the time. Some people might actually enjoy this dinning experience, but definitely not for all.
Price is on the higher side, quality is fine, overall value is average.“

“Some of the best food I've had. Great value in the lunch special. The potato nuggets are so yummy. The chicken is delicious! And I even sprung for the Spiny Lobster and it was divine. The environment is very warm and welcoming, rich with culture and history. If I could eat here everyday I would.“

“Great service, atmosphere was upbeat and plenty of great food to cook up! Get there early s because place was packed when I left.“
