“very nice foods all are fresh especially the kimchi“

“Local Favorite. Excellent Customer Service and Delicious Food. Fast turn around. Owner ran / present. *completely different experience from Pho Hana on Hawthorne (Torrance) All staff are helpful, polite and friendly. Highly recommend. My pho craving was satisfied without having to drive all the way out to Gardena / Westminster.“

“We like their food but they are so inconsistent on the spice level. One time I had medium and it was really good and this time I asked same and I felt it was the highest level. I was not able to finish it. 😕 On the other side my husband like it very spicy and it’s never spicy enough… but overall we like it.“

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

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

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

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

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

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

“I'm hooked on this place! The meat is tender NEVER over smoked or tough. The Fried cornbread balls(deep fried buttery goodness with a touch of sweet) delicious! I'm on my way now Vroooooom 🚗. Sides are good beans ,mac, just 😋 Yum. See you in 30! Brisket and Ribs!“

“I stumbled upon this place as I was heading to the beach, but I was needing a bite to eat. I looked online first to see the menu and I like what I saw there wasn’t anybody in there as it was a Thursday afternoon but that’s probably because people were at work still the customer service I got when I first entered. The restaurant was fabulous. The guy was very knowledgeable pointed out some suggestions and I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich with coleslaw, side of mac & cheese barbecue baked beans and french fries the meal came out within 10 minutes. It was very flavorful. It was hot. The baked beans had very good seasoning and the mac & cheese was doing what it was supposed to do the barbecue sauce that was included for the pulled chicken sandwich was spicy, but not too hot. Needless to say I devoured everything. I would definitely recommend you going by this place. They have a vast menu with a lot of options. Take my word for it.“

“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.“

“We stumbled on this little corner barbecue spot today, and wow. The smoke hits you first, in the best way.” “Ribs that actually fall off the bone, a tangy sauce that’s got kick without drowning the meat, and those charred edges. Simple setup, friendly service, and prices that don’t sting. I’m calling it: a hidden gem worth a return visit.”“

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

“This place is incredible. I’m honestly shocked it doesn’t have more reviews or a Michelin star. My wife took me here for Father’s Day and it was just fantastic food. We eat at places all over the world, and we’re in Japan in March, and this was still a super special experience. Thank god it is 10 minutes down the road haha“

“Bull BBQ is very tasty, always a great choice. The staff are very nice and helpful, you’ll enjoy a nice meal and they do everything to make your meal a great dining experience. I’m always too stuffed for dessert, next time I’ll try to save room. The prices are very reasonable and the menu is quite extensive. The AYCE Menu A is a great choice, but Menu B has some special options that elevate your meal to something very special. They also have other dishes to add onto your meal, all this and the included banchan “Korean Pickled Dishes” make for a delicious meal. Every table has very good ventilation, so it’s always a nice dining experience.“

“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.“

“We came here because we were craving gopchang and makchang, and everything was so good! The side dishes were fresh and nicely prepared, and the gopchang, makchang, and daechang were all absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back. 100% recommend!“

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

“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.“

“Used the app to order and it was ready by the time I drove over to pick it up. Parking was an issue and I had to park on the street and walk over to the restaurant.

Glad to receive points as the closer location doesn’t provide points which is odd because you can order on the app from that location and the app even says “you’ll receive points for this order” and you don’t.“

“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!“

“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“

“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 .“

“I’ve eaten here(well, I’ve never actually eaten inside the place), but, I’ve ordered take out on work days when I didn’t pack a lunch, and I’ve also ordered Bibingka for a get-together or two, and always had great results! Chicken, Beef, or Salmon Bowl? Can’t go wrong either way! Their Bibingka is delish, as well!“

“I love this place! It's my first time. So why so happy? Servings that fill you up, a staff that treats you like an honored guest, not to mention great food. I had the halibut. It was deep fried with a firm and crunchy crust that was great for fish-which was a surprise for a chicken place. The fish was a little dry, but it was served with an entire lemon and some great tartar sauce. The cold slaw tasted great and wasn't sweet like some places. Don't even get me started on how great their potatoes are. If you sit down and eat there, ask for real plateware as the plastic utensils are a little flimsy. 1 example, I asked for some butter, he grabbed it, then said he would warm it up, then bring it to me (unlike every other place that gives you the rock hard butter from the fridge...) And they even have live lobster - to take or have them cook for you. The neighborhood isn't very appealing, but the people were all friendly, much more than I expected, given the ambiance. Go, enjoy.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I visited this restaurant with my date for dinner, and we were welcomed with a pleasant attitude and seated immediately. The atmosphere was nice and inviting. We were fortunate that there weren’t many guests that evening, which made the experience very peaceful and enjoyable.

We started with two Asahi beers while deciding what to order. We chose the A5 Wagyu Set, which included tongue, ribeye, short rib, chuck flap, and tenderloin. The set also came with a salad, kimchi, and bean sprouts, and we ordered a few bowls of rice on the side.

Our server was very friendly and even gave us helpful tips on which cuts of meat to start with. Although there was a button at the table to call for service, she would occasionally check in on us to see if we needed anything or were enjoying our meal, which we truly appreciated.

All of the meats were phenomenal, and the portion size was very satisfying for both of us. To end the evening, we ordered Wagyu sushi—one piece served raw and the other cooked—and both were absolutely delicious.“

“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.“

“My Salmon and garlic mashed potatoes were delicious. The prices were great for the quality of the food.“

“I came in today and was attended by Jamila. She was a ray of sunshine and I enjoyed my food experience and chat with her. Coach girlies recognize coach girlies. As well as all the female cashiers were as equally kind and pleasant. The only thing I was disappointed with was the portions of my food I felt they were a little small for what I paid for.“

“This place blew me away! The food was incredible—every bite was fresh and flavorful perfection. The service was exceptional; the staff was warm, attentive, and never overbearing. But the views were absolutely stunning—like dining in a postcard! I’ll definitely be back soon. Five stars across the board!“

“Good food and friendly staff“

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

“Update July 2026: docking a full star for the creepy AI answering system that pretended to not be AI with fake restaurant background noise even though it clearly answered slowly and with a delay. It then gave me the wrong info and asked if I wanted a menu sent to me. I said no, it did it anyways by the time the call hung up. I had checked that menu link before calling, it didn't answer my question. All I wanted to know was if there was still food happy hour specials in the summer (there aren't), and I had to physically go in person instead. I would've loved for this info to be on the website, wait staff does spend a lot of time on phone calls. Instead both our time got wasted because I no longer have a way to communicate with the restaurant without going in person. There are still lunch volley bowl deals.

2025: Fantastic view of the ocean and beach. Great specials at lunch and on weekdays. We actually were walking to the Tuesday burger special at Hennessey's Tavern, which we go to often. They caught our eye. This was a perfectly cooked juicy burger with great, strong seasoning and fresh toppings. We got a side of fries, which were delicious and crispy from the blisteringly hot first bite to the last cooled fry. We may have a new beach side burger Tuesday joint with a slightly improved view! It's a solid jump in quality for what you usually find in Hermosa, especially this close to the water.

Staff were friendly. I like the menu a bit more at the Redondo location but you can't beat the view and vibe at the beach. We'll be back to try the extensive drink menu“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“I ordered a steak salad which was so delicious and filling. The flavor profile is on point. This a meal and a half, lunch and dinner. The pat of rice as a addition is really nice. Beautifully presented, this my new go to place for Thai food 😋 9/2026 Pacific Square is a world of genuine flavor. This place hits it out the park every time! Be careful how to navigate the parking. The spot in the corner incognito are the best.“

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

“I’ve been coming to Yamaya for years, back when dinner was the reason to visit. The quality of the beef has always been solid and while I still think places like Manpuku are a little more memorable, Yamaya has never really disappointed me.

These days, though, it’s lunch that keeps bringing me back. In a city where fifteen dollars barely buys a sandwich, Yamaya somehow serves one of the best lunch specials in the South Bay. It isn’t trying to impress you with theatrics. It simply gets the fundamentals right.

The yakiniku is grilled just enough to pick up a little char without drowning in sauce. A few thicker pieces can be slightly chewy, but the flavor is consistently balanced. The salad is simple, the miso soup is comforting even if it’s usually closer to warm than hot and then there’s the rice.

The rice deserves its own paragraph. Perfectly cooked, unlimited refills and paired with unlimited mentaiko and house pickles, it’s the kind of combination that makes you slow down and wonder whether another bowl is really such a bad idea. It’s simple food executed with enough confidence that it doesn’t need to hide behind unnecessary complexity.

The service has been a little inconsistent over the years, but on this visit it reminded me why hospitality still matters. Our server was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming without feeling rehearsed. The restaurant was calm, a Japanese family chatted quietly at the next table and for an hour lunch felt refreshingly unhurried.

Is this the best yakiniku I’ve ever had? No. Is it one of the best values I’ve found in Los Angeles? Absolutely.

Some restaurants chase spectacle. Yamaya earns repeat customers instead. That’s a much harder thing to build. One of the lunch deals I recommend most often in the South Bay.“

“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“

“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.love it here the miz great n great service“

“I've always wanted to come here and I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger. I can't believe it took me this long because I'd be a frequent customer many years ago if I had come sooner.

This restaurant opened over 40 years ago in the 1980s. They have not changed their seasonings or recipes since then. A lot of their sauces and kimchee is made in house (and has not changed in over 40 years). This is probably the best Japanese BBQ experience I've ever had and I've had A LOT of BBQ experiences.

My favorites are items you typically cannot get anywhere else. Their raw beef liver sashimi and their raw minced beef are amazing. It's really hard to find these creations. If you like liver, then you'll be an instant fan. If you're a little squeamish then you can always grill it a bit before you eat it lol

Their cuts of meat are also a league above the rest. I loved them all! Their wagyu tongue, negi tongue, gokujo kalbi, tokujo ro-su, and pork belly are all worth writing home about.

They also serve vegetables and salad to go with the BBQ. We also tried their yukkejan soup which is their spicy beef soup. It was very tasty. Savory and not too salty. Very well balanced. I'd eat this alone on a cold rainy day.

The ambiance is busy with moderate noise. Lots of Japanese locals were there that night and were simply having an amazing time socializing.

Overall 10/10. Definitely coming back!“

“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. 😊💯“

“Found this place completely by accident because the storefront is easy to miss, but sobrang glad ako that I did! The cebuchon tasted authentically Cebu-style, with beautifully crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat that wasn’t overly fatty. Sulit din for the price, especially with the generous portion. Masarap talaga, and I would 100% come back.“

“Japanese no shoes table experience“

“There’s certain l&l’s that are great out of all the ones I’ve been to this one is third in my book.
The only thing I eat all the time is chicken katsu curry so that’s what I base my review on.
I got the regular size and as always it was a lot of food enough for two people or two meals.
My apologies no pictures or videos“
