TK92 Korean BBQ

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. ;)

My favorite Korean BBQ in temecula. The sides are better, the meats are better. Free games for the kids, good beers. Definitely coming back!

They have a SERIOUS fly infestation. Not good since raw meat and salads are out. I killed 4 at the table and they were all over the sides.

My favorite KBBQ place. Meats are good quality and they don’t keep you waiting a long time to get them.

This is hands down one of my go-to KBBQ spots in SoCal! The quality of the meat is always solid, service is consistent, and I’ve noticed most people share the same experience here.

📍 Location & Parking
TK92 is tucked inside Life Plaza Center on Valley Blvd (west of Del Mar Ave). If you’re pulling in, the restaurant is on the bottom left corner of the first floor. Parking can be a little tricky—there’s a tiny upper lot with maybe 10–15 spots, but most of the time you’ll end up in the underground structure. Heads up: once you’re underground, say goodbye to your phone signal.

🍽️ The Setup
Walking in, you go down a hallway that passes an arcade (yes, random but fun) and leads to a waiting area with sofas and chairs. There’s even a sit-down bar in that area, but it’s hardly used nowadays. Once you step in further, the counter is on your left and that’s where you’ll get greeted.

👩‍🍳 Service & Food
Servers are attentive and actually check in throughout the meal, which I really appreciate. The meat quality is legit, and they have different menu tiers depending on what you want to spend. Honestly, the basic level works just fine for me—it’s still tasty and filling.

✅ Overall
TK92 is a spot I always come back to because they deliver the same good service and food every time. If you’re craving KBBQ and want a reliable choice in the area, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out.

This place has really gone downhill and I haven’t been here in over a year. Let’s start with the banchan, what a joke. The kimchi wasn’t fresh, the rice paper was tiny and shriveled, and that was basically it. Quality-wise, it’s at the bottom compared to other spots in Garden Grove (like Shik Do Rak).

You’d think they’d make up for it with good service, but nope, t was one of the worst. We were served soup with no spoons (and I think they were plastic), waited on utensils until I asked again, and even had to remind them about my rice after ordering it. We also ordered soju and had to follow up again. We got served meat we didn’t order and when I questioned Roger, he acted like he didn’t know.

If your server’s name is Roger, do yourself a favor and ask for someone else. He acted like he didn’t want to be there. Honestly, he’s lucky my friend was treating me — I wouldn’t have left him an 18% tip for that level of service.

The restaurant itself looks worn down, and I’m happy to say I will NOT be returning.

Update your google and yelp hours. It says on Google and Yelp that they close at 11pm on Mondays. We went at 9:20pm, but they said they already sat last table and last call for the night. I understand if we were coming last minute, but we came over 90 minutes before posted closing.

Pretty good Korean BBQ spot with an all-you-can-eat option in LA. I really enjoyed the food here. The meat was good, high quality, well-marinated, and cooked up perfectly on the grill. Everything we tried had great flavor. Personally, I really liked bulgogi and cow tongues. They were sweet and flavorful. The side dishes and sauces were good too. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.

The restaurant itself is beautiful. There are lots of tables, and the vibe is pretty cool, without being too loud. I really enjoyed it. We arrived around 8 PM and ended up waiting about 45 minutes for a table, which is okay since we just walked in. There is also pretty nice area for waiting. The grill in the restaurant worked perfectly.

The service was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. They came by our table often to check in, refill sides, and ask if we wanted to order more meat, which I really appreciate. They also took the time to explain the different menu options, which was great.

It costs around $50 per person, and I would say it’s definitely worth it for the quality of food and service you get.

Overall, it’s a great spot for Korean BBQ. I’ll definitely come back if I will be in that area and will be craving for some Korean BBQ. Very good nice!!!

TK 92 Korean BBQ in San Gabriel is a solid spot tucked away in an unassuming corner of the old Shanghai No. 1 mall. Once you step inside, it’s surprisingly spacious, with some fun games at the entrance to keep you entertained while you wait. They’ve got two AYCE options: premium for $39.99 and deluxe for $36.99. We went with the premium, and it was worth it for the variety.

Service was friendly and attentive, though the meat selection felt pretty standard—similar to what you’d get at Gen in Alhambra. The short rib and brisket were definite highlights, tender and flavorful. The shrimp was super fresh, which was a nice touch, and I loved that they include tofu soup and steamed egg to round out the meal. It’s a crazy popular spot, so expect long waits on weekends. Overall, it’s a great bang for your buck if you’re craving KBBQ in the area.

Very clean place without BBQ smoke. Good quality meat. I like them a lot because the meat itself is not overly marinated. Strand egg and kimchi fried rice are sooo good. Will definitely come back.

This place is hidden gem in LA. We come here twice a month and the staff are attentive, super cool, food quality great and we’ve never had a bad experience here. Trust me when I say we come here a lot. Spicy pork belly 🔥. I’ve always wondered why they removed Jap chae off the menu though
