TK92 Korean BBQ

Looking for tasty Korean BBQ that won't empty your wallet? TK 92 in San Gabriel hits the spot! This roomy restaurant offers quality meat and friendly service at fair prices.

What's Good Here
The meat is fresh and cooks up great on your table grill. They have rice paper wraps (not just lettuce!) which makes eating more fun. The servers are helpful and keep things moving.

Good to Know
There's plenty of underground parking—no street hunting needed! The restaurant is big with a comfortable waiting area, but expect about an hour wait during busy times. You can walk around nearby shops while you wait for a text.

Bottom Line
TK 92 is solid KBBQ that's worth visiting when you're hungry for grilled meat. It's good enough to return to when you're in the area, but maybe not worth a special trip across town. Go when you're nearby and the wait isn't too long!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It's my first visit with family members. Surprisingly it's quite a big restaurant, very cozy and comfortable, except the back ground music kind of loud for me.The staff is very friendly and polite. Service is excellent.

I came here to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and all I can say is this was an amazing place, the food, the service, and the place in general was really good, we didn’t have to wait too much, and the price was worth it. It was our first time coming to a Korean BBQ and it was so amazing. I’ll be back for sure.

On a recent trip to LA, my friends and I decided to check out TK92, and it was an incredible experience! We went on a Sunday and were seated quickly with little to no wait time. The selection of meats was top-notch, with high-quality cuts that did not disappoint. Every bite was flavorful, and we had a blast grilling everything to perfection. The atmosphere was just as impressive—great vibes, great service, and an overall 10/10 experience. If you’re looking for an amazing Korean BBQ spot, I highly recommend TK92. I’ll definitely be back!

The food here is delicious. TK92 is one of the better Korean Barbecue AYCE in this area since there’s not many. The service was amazing and quick to bring out the food. The inside looks nice and clean. I would recommend coming here if you’re in the area. Overall, good experience and will come back soon.

Updated Jan 2025:

A lot has changed since the last time I was here. They do not have the higher price points which will have dry aged meats, there isn’t ice cream anymore or shake shake rice, there isn’t anymore mouth wash in the restroom anymore.. but I can say the experience is good for a Korean BBQ place. I recommend just going for their Prem AYCE. $39.99 is a pretty decent price especially with the amount of ban chan they offer here .

I would recommend the kimchi fried rice, the beef tongue, prem marinated meat. The staff is quite friendly and attentive, making sure they change out your grill.

Keep in mind at this time (Jan 2025) they are remodeling, and looking forward to seeing how the inside will look after, as they used to have some arcade games. The inside looks the same as it did a few years back. Will definitely stop by again sometime soon! Until next time !

Previous review 2022

I came here towards the end of AYCE before COVID, and was able to come back recently since they starting doing AYCE again. I would say that this place is still quite good for Korean BBQ. I believe some of the service needs to be improved a bit. There was our waitress that helped us order our meats and sides, but there was also a ton of other staff. The only thing that was a bit upsetting was that when you asked for something like napkins, Samjang (not sure if I spelled this right) or other small things, we would have had to order it 2-3 times before it actually came. Other then that when our waitress was there we were able to get what we wanted from the menu.

Food
The food was great. When you order you have to choose which package list of meats you want. We debated over deluxe and premium that they had, and honestly for just a bit more it was worth it to get some of their prime meats. Try the beef tongue and 1,2,3 on the premium menu, it’s great ! I also enjoyed their steamed egg and spicy rice cake, the kimchi fried rice had a ton of flavor but was just s bit too salty for me.

The place still looks the same as the first time I was there, they have the cool theme, and some arcade machines in the front.

Check this place out but try to go early to avoid long waits. Until next time !

Impeccable service! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary restrictions, suggesting the most delightful alternatives without compromising on taste. This place serves the most delectable Korean dishes I've ever tasted. The bibimbap was a beautiful harmony of fresh ingredients, and the spicy tofu stew had just the right kick of flavors. The contemporary yet rustic ambiance, combined with the subtle aroma of authentic Korean spices, transported us to the streets of Seoul. It was an unforgettable dining experience.

The food is very fresh. There are 11 of us in total. We ordered the premium bbq menu. The price is $39.99 and the quality is very good. I recommend the marinated steak. I don’t recommend the rib finger. The rib finger fascia is too chewy. We ordered a lot of soju and beer, so That works out to about $60 per person. There is no escape from the smell of smoke in barbecue restaurants. After eating, I went home with the smell of barbecue. The waiter at our table, Roger⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, must give us five stars. In order to prevent the smell of smoke from being too strong, he has been working very hard for us. Change baking pan and place in San Gabriel It is rare to see waiters with high-quality service in Valley. We are a large table, and the food and drinks are never interrupted. We are served with smiles throughout the process. The barbecue restaurant is so tired, and we are a big table, but we can still see this His service is really rare and I must give him a good review.

I'm not a big fan of Korean bbq. The restaurant has a wide variety of meats with great flavor.

This place was so yummy! When we went it wasn’t too busy so we got really good service. I especially liked the japchae and egg soufflés. The meat was really good- I would say it was definitely worth the slightly higher price than KBBQs at other places.

We went right when they opened and we were immediately seated. The servers were attentive and courteous. The kimchi rice and bulgogi were my favorite, so good! My only wish is to have had some green tea salt. Other than that it was perfect!
