“Our server Kevin was very nice and understanding towards our needs and questions. He was super nice and making us feel very at home and helped us decide what to eat. He even gave us his honest opinions on a lot of stuff which helped spend the best money on Chubby Cattle. I highly recommend coming here for the food, since all the meat was super good, cooked tenderly by the cooks if it comes pre cooked, the prices are good, and especially, coming here for our server Kevin.“

“Highly commendable service and absolutely stunning set menu! we went here for dinner last night for our Halloween date night! Their wagyu cuts are 100% top-grade and not just random "wagyu" that are below the marks. We tried their A5 and M9 meats, not to mention their salmon carpaccio that is to die for. Their sides are absolutely delicious and smart, one great example is their fried pork buns that is like a spin on soup dumplings. To top it off, you get premium ice cream in the end. Their salad is so good with yuzu and smokey salt, plus you get a chili mix too. They serve the meats fast plus your tablet menu is in front of you so you don't have to keep calling the staff to refill. I give them 9 stars! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

“Rainier was an awesome server. First time here at this location. I’ve been to two others and by far he was the most attentive of all 3. The manager Sam was also very professional and greeted us as soon as we walked in. Thank you for this experience“

“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow“

“great food. great experience and quality of meat“

“I like the beef combo & definitely will be back again“

“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.“

“Despite accidentally making reservations online for the following evening, the gentleman behind the entry table found a way for my family of 4 to enjoy a top notch Korean BBQ dinner. We were so grateful! The food was excellent and service first rate. Highly recommended!!“

“Awesome stuff quality fast perfect service“

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

“First time here and me and my husband loved it! We tried the beef and chicken teriyaki plate and a chicken and beef fried rice. Both were very good. I also loved that the music that was playing at the time was like a Justin Bieber Pandora radio station lol“

“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!“

“The food was very delicious! The food we shared brought special nostalgic moments with our family together. It was my brother's first time to visit the US and the authentic Filipino food at Manila Inasal made this moment very special.“

“The BBQ baked beans are legit!! Big chunks of meat in it and veggies!! Yum!!“

“Coconut beef adobo and cornbread bibingka are outstanding!“

“My husband and I found this gem on one of our K town adventures. The food is phenonmenal, the staff was out standing they cook the meat right in the table for you. My husband who is not a big steak eater absoultly loved it. We have told several friends and we are definitely coming back.“

“We went for the first time today and boy was it delicious! I had the brisket bowl my husband had the 405 sandwich and we shared the brisket loaded fries, it was all delicious there was nothing left! Cudos to the person that is smoking the meats in Artesia location and the staff😊“

“Delicious all you can eat Korean barbecue!! Will be back!“

“If you need quick Mexican food, this is a great spot.

I got the sampler to go, and it was really tasty—well cooked with good flavors. Ordering was fast, perfect if you’re in a hurry.

I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu.“

“The best AYCE Korean bbq restaurant. Meat quality is top-notch. They grill the meat for you but still allow you to enjoy the food at your own speed. I tried almost every meat and my favorite is the marinated beef rib with bone. It melted in my mouth. I love it and will come back.👍🏻“

“Whenever we visit Los Angeles a night at Origin is a must! The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly and fast, and the food is to die for!“

“The vibe is amazing. High energy for sure. Great place to come and have a conversation or be loud with your friends. The meat quality is amazing. Everything is fresh never Frozen. The kimchi the sauce, the soup, the salad, the meat, literally everything is just top tier. The prices are so freaking good, it's priced like the super cheap quality places but it's literally just so damn good.

Good hours, good quality, Good vibe, five out of five, only thing that sucks is parking LOL“

“Good service and experience for Korean BBQ.specially the rice paper loved by many diner.“

“First time here my family like it especially unlimited brisket“

“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!“

“Hanu K-BBQ was a highly rated place in LA's Koreatown, so we decided to try it. Clearly review inflation. 4.7 on Yelp and Google. Big focus on getting 5 star yelp reviews. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and its own parking lot.
3.5% credit card fee. Their menu has the typical expensive a la carte meats, but lacks tofu stew.
Lunch Specials 11am-3pm/7days are a great bet.

Meal was fine but not super. Service was drop and go. Probably should have went back to Soowon Galbi or Parks BBQ.

Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering.

Food Review:
Marinated Beef Short Ribs + Buckwheat cold noodle soup ($34.99) lunch special was cooked at our table and consisted of 3 pieces. No BBQ smell at least. Decent quality and reasonable quantity. Huge bowl of cold noodles. Only 4 types of banchan. 8.5/10

Beef brisket soybean paste stew with tofu ($14.99) lunch special is not a big dish and was the closest thing to tofu spicy stew. Very spicy. 8/10

Overall - Good
Food - Good
Decor - Good
Service - Fair
Value - Good

Would we come back - No“

“amazing food and good for family“

“fantastic food!! awesome cook owner! highly recommend!“

“I stopped for lunch Monday 22nd 2026 around 11:30 am, my plan was to order cold noodle(냉면) but changed plan after checking the menu,beef short rib soup (갈비탕) was only $17
I was by myself, I was seated big table for 4 people, 6 side dishes were served with cold water(I eas asked if I want cold or hot water)I said cold and they served cold water and 6 side dishes, I accidebtally droppes the cup with ice water, made a mess on table, server asked me if I am ok and cleaned the table also refilled ice water, had enough beef short ribs and all the side dishes were delicious“

“Love coming with the family. Food is always great, good music, but we especially love the customer service. My daughter is autistic and they always accommodate us. The staff is always on their feet and constantly check up on you. Everyone is so friendly, they make the whole experience more enjoyable.“

“What a gem this BBQ spot is! Whittier is so lucky to have Bibs Ribs and how lucky are we to have this staple in our own backyard! I will be going back!

Just stop reading, do yourself a favor and go check it out for yourself! You won’t regret it or go anywhere else again for BBQ!!!“

“Everything about this place is good....... Dogs are not welcome.,service animals too....
They said no dogs at 1st,then I stated she is service animal.

Then he grilled me on type of service she provides, we answered his demands,but still didn't want us to have the service animal.
We finally got to eat. But after about 30 minutes of waiting, then they stuck us in the back corner, but he clearly did not want the dog in the building.

So bring your service animals here. But be prepared for a verbal confrontation and questioning.“

“Bbq Pull Pork Sandwich With Potato Salad Was Delicious. I Will definitely be coming back to try the brisket sandwich next. 😊“

“The OG. the tastiest. the smokiest. the best. don't wear your favorite new sweater. ladies tie your hair back. and get down.“

“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 😋😋😋👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“The food and service were amazing. The meats and options they have here are very unique and delicious, up to 32 different options. The person who gave us our meat was nice and caring. As some side notes, if this is your first time going to Korean BBQ place, you cook your own food so make sure you know how to cook meats, also the music they played here is pretty good!“

“Best BBQ Pork Sandwich ever!!“

“It’s expensive, but the quality of the meat is excellent. Don’t compare this place to AYCE KBBQ. I come here once or twice a year because it’s far, but it’s worth the trip. The bean stew tasted different from last year—this time it seemed overboiled or not freshly made.“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Amazing food love Korean fusion especially the bulgogi burrito 🌯🌯🌯the burrito is so packed it will likely fall apart as the tortilla cannot contain all the incredible food and delectable ingredients. I got the bulgogi and it was perfect. Juicy, just the perfect amount of sweetness. A generous proportion and well balanced with the egg, veggies etc.. a perfect medley and entirely satisfying.“

“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 .“

“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 food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“
