By far the best bbq we had on our USA-trip. Innovative menu and just the most friendly guys you can imagine. Loved it.

Phenomenal food as always. Zef is the experience that keeps giving. Bbq, breakfast, dessert, any cuisine, it doesn't matter. Zef can do it all and with flair. Worth the line, and worth your time.

Second time coming to ZEF'S and will be planning on coming back for more brisket, burnt ends, tri-tip, pulled pork, and ribs soon. We got the platter and it easily had enough food to serve 4 for lunch with the sides and everything. Logan and the guys were friendly and made picking up the order an easy and worthwhile trip.

If you're looking for actual incredible BBQ in the LA metro area, this is it. I got their platter, a 1/4 chicken and the pork belly burnt ends. The meat was smoked incredibly well, and you can tell he knew how to render the fat out of that brisket just right. It is definitely on par with some Texas spots although to be fair not quite in the top places like Goldees, but easily would find a home among them. I love the Asian inspired flavors that were in there (This is gonna sound weird, but I got Pho vibes from the potato salad, but it was delicious). Overall my only gripe would be that I wish you got more quantity of the sides with the platter order. Overall though for the quality and especially for LA, worth every penny (I spent $110 and fed around 4 people). Eating that first bite of the brisket with the bark piece made me literally "wow" out loud. The pre-order system was also so nice, just walk inside and pickup. All the guys there were so cool and chatted me up while they were getting my order.
Also, make meat smokers exempt from CA pollution laws!!!!

Not to be harsh, but this doesn’t taste good. Meat was slimy and fatty. Mac and cheese was chunky. Ordered for pick up, so I can’t speak on the atmosphere or service.

You will never go wrong with the art that is created in the Zef kitchen. Saturday, order ahead (full menu) or walk up Sunday (select menu), this BBQ, and all its fixins and sides are a refreshing addition to the Valley and the LA metro area. It's truly a magical meal.

This is our 5th time ordering at ZefBBQ. The garlic shrimp ? was da bomb! My car smelled luscious for hours. Burnt end with bbq sauce yumminess! The cannolis are to die for. Logan and crew always rock our house! ???

They serve the best bbq in LA. Texas style techniques with some Asian tweaks make their food more special to me.

I read the L.A. Times review of the Sandoval family and their drive to be BBQ masters in East Simi Valley. They have succeeded, and I hope they can operate with longer hours someday. Sign up for their emails to get open hours.

We wanted to find this BBQ but unfortunately we didn't find it. That's why I can't say how it was there((( I think it was just closed. We have to get food somewhere else now. I hope that not everyone falls for it. I'm really sorry that I didn't talk about the food but about the write location.
