50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Temple City

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“It feels very good. I listened to music, played skewers, and drank wine with a few friends and relatives. The service quality is also very good. I would recommend everyone to come here often. There is also a resident singer on Fridays and Saturdays. I will come here often in the future.“

“I wanted to try this place for the longest time. The No. 44 filled me up, as well as satisfied my taste buds.“

“I attended a children's birthday party in the private room. Adults and children gathered together and there was karaoke. The atmosphere was great! The dishes are rich and taste good, and there are many choices of dishes suitable for children. highly recommended!“

“Amazing food and amazing customer service!! I shared it on all my social media’s so all my friends would know about this place and be able to have their own experience at home. My whole family loved it and enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this place!“

“Meet quality really nice to me Good service!“

“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! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

“Had the Texas prime beef brisket sandwich. I’m from Texas and tastes like home. Definitely check this place out. Will be coming back for sure!!!“

“Came here pretty much when they opened for the day, there was already some people inside for a Saturday. When we finished eating, the restaurant was barely half full?

Food wise, the bbq meats are pretty decent cuts for what you pay for and the big shrimp we ordered is actually pretty good. They didn't have a real fishy smell, which is a plus, knowing some places just serve what they have sitting out.

There is a sauce bar with appetizers near the front of the restaurant, the bar itself is already baked into the price, there isn't any extra fee. There is also a self serve sherbet freezer with three flavors: vanilla, chocolate, and rainbow, as of writing this.

For the non grill foods, the soup and cold noodles are decently portion, definitely should split it up with others so you don't overfill. The popcorn chicken can be ordered as a half order, and to my surprise, it actually is pretty decent in terms of texture and juiciness, only downside is I wish they used some spice in the coating to give it a bit more oomph.

Overall, if I am ever in the area here, I might consider coming back when I'm looking for AYCE.“

“4 of us ate at the new Craft at LA Live but I can't find it here so recommending them on the Pasadena location. This was the second night they had been open last Saturday. Service was outstanding. Judy did a terrific job taking care of us and the head chef and owner cam by to welcome us. Food was outstanding too. Great place.“

“We enjoyed my birthday dinner tonight at Jakes Roadhouse. The food is delicious and the friendly service was great.“

“My aunt recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed! Everything was so delicious and we eat Asian food often so that saying a lot! The pork chop in particular was really crispy and fresh, the fried rice was excellent, the duck and chicken were both super as well. The food came out very fast as soon as we ordered it, and the service was great. Unfortunately, the restaurant is a bit small, but I am kind of glad about that because that way they're able to keep us so good. 100% would go again (we actually ended up eating in the next day because it was so good!). They are also so incredibly helpful when we thought we left a credit card there, they took out our information so that they could call us if they found it and even search the restaurant. Definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“I can’t give enough stars. I ordered catering for my son’s 2nd birthday. I live in Las Vegas and I was able to order everything via email with Josh. I explained the sides I was going to have and the number of guests. He predicted my food exact! Everyone enjoyed the food! They have awesome customer service, pick up process was easy, and food was fresh and delicious! I will be back for all my family events. Thank you Steve’s BBQ!!“

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“Y'all... I can finally eat the greens!!! They make them with turkey instead of pork and I gobbled them things up. Almost went for more!
I got the chicken plate with 2 sides, mac and cheese and the greens. Comes with a slice of whole wheat bread. Chicken was a bit dry but the sauce helped it... until I ran out of the bbq sauce.
I got the hot and regular bbq sauces. The hot had a nice kick, very tangy. Both were sweet and thick. The cups weren't filled up all the way, which would probably be helpful. They were about half full and I had used both cups to dip the chicken, so halfway through eating the chicken, I was out of sauce. This is where the greens came in handy, to dip the chicken in the juices or eat the chicken with the greens to add some moisture.
Mac and cheese was good. Nice creamy cheesr sauce and soft noodles.
I will definitely go back, just know to order a few extra sides of bbq sauce!“

“This is my first time going and I was lost I was looking for a standalone restaurant. This is inside a little mini mall atmosphere building I would have never found it if it hadn't been I was meeting a friend. By the way the food the barbecue is awesome it is unbelievably good The meat was just so tender and that barbecue sauce was absolute heaven on earth. I love the atmosphere. It was so nice and cool inside parking was a bit of a nightmare but it was worth it to have lunch at the pit and bull. Bathrooms provided an indoors very clean great atmosphere there's a lot of picnic tables set up where you can pick what restaurant food you want pizza or barbecue or there's a bakery in there that has the most awesome desserts I got a cherry pie and an apple pie They were $9 They were a little mini pies. All I can say is I highly highly did I mention highly recommend this place It is unreal awesome 👍🏽😎“

“Great AYCE hot pot spot. The broths have good flavor, ingredients are fresh, and the sauce bar gives you plenty of ways to mix things up. Service was friendly and everything came out quickly. Great place to relax and enjoy a meal with friends.“

“This place is great and something I've been wanting to try for awhile and glad I didn't finally.

I had their barbacoa tacos guisados which was very tender and with cheese added. Their salsa bar added a lot to flavor to it and the barbacoa was very tender. Their chikali taco comes with beans and guacamole and I got it with carne asada. The asada was charred very well and seasoned very well also. The beans went well with it and were not soggy. The staff was very nice and helpful in describing what was available, popular, recommended and what they thought it should have.

There's some seating next to their shop which is convenient. Their agua frescas was very good also according to my friend. It was his favorite place so far when I took him the multiple taco joints in east LA.

I'd come back here to try their breakfast/chorizo items“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

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

“If you know, you know.

This little hidden gem serves great Indonesian and Hawaiian comfort food classics. You truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but if it’s your first time, you must try the crispy fried chicken and the Indonesian fried rice.

This place is clearly run by people who care about what they do, and it shows in the quality of the product.

There’s not a lot of space inside, so it’s generally a takeout spot, but don’t let that deter you from trying it.“

“Great place for a group to hang out, drink, and eat some food. Very cool atmosphere. Like an old timey tavern from Chinese dramas. Good, fast service. Order food on a tablet. There are options to omit scallions and cilantro for people who don't like them. You can also call the servers from the tablet, otherwise they leave you alone. Had a live performer (singer) when we went.“

“This place is an amazing dining experience. A great alternative to Korean bbq or hot pot, you order different skewers and let them cook in front of you, then enjoy. All the different meats and vegetables were delicious and offered lots of variety so there is something for everyone. The grill automatically twirls the kebobs giving an even cook, and the sauces and spices are very flavorful. Very helpful staff and clean interior.“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“Thank you very delicious Margarita and family“

“This has become my favorite Chinese BBQ place recently! Very authentic and their skewers are always fresh and fragant with their charcoal grilled fumes. Their grilled fish is one of my favorite dish as well, comes with sorted veggies in it, fish was very fresh.“

“I had a great experience at [Skewer Place Name]! The variety of skewers was impressive, and the flavors were bold and delicious. The meat was tender, and the seasoning was spot on. The veggie skewers were also fresh and cooked perfectly.

The ambiance was cozy and lively, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. Service was friendly and attentive, though it is a bit pricy for skewers.“

“Super awesome to see, South El Monte has so much Asian foods and they are all delicious. A lot of people in South El Monte love Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese cultures and so the businesses in the area thrive. I also enjoy getting Korean BBQ meats in the South El Monte City or a nice hot meal at the Daikokuya Japanese Ramen place on Garvey. I noticed that a lot of people in Korean Town over in Los Angeles were starting to purchase up commercial real estate and launch businesses in South El Monte. In a recent merger and acquisition of a major grocery store business chain in South El Monte, it had become Korean owned as well and started to add many awesome products such as canned boba drinks. South El Monte is one of the most vibrant, diverse, and sweet pockets of hidden gem Asian foods in California and the San Gabriel Valley. When I go to school on the East Coast, I really miss it.“

“best pulled pork & barbecue chicken! it was just a bummer they ran out of ribs🙄 i will catch on next time.“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“This food is so good is yummy and I enjoy it so much with my family. I will recommend to go there it is good and it cheap and it is a good to choose the food on the menu. I am telling you when I go to other states the food over there is not good. This place is very good and I will like to go back there someday and I will recommend if people that like to eat Chinese food. Then try this place! I hope you enjoy.

Kid-friendliness: They are so kind and friendly and they are treating us like a premium customer“

“The best skewers ever. We drove seven or eight hours from Northern California to eat. The ingredients are fresh and taste great. There is a man who looks like the boss and is very nice. We were served quickly knowing we were hungry. Thank you for the delicious food. See you next month.“

“The curry and masala are amazing at the Fullerton location! I will be back this week for lunch. Oh, and ordering online was so easy :) thank you!!“

“I finally remembered to try this place. It didn't disappoint. Everything was made fresh to order. The veggies were crisp and tender. The shrimp were nice and plump. The Tom Yum was zesty and flaming.
It's a nice place for friends, family, or a casual date. It's not fancy. You order before you're seated.
The prices are just about the same as most Thai restaurants. Which bothered me a little since we had to stand in line to order.
But overall, it's a great place! It was yummy! It's was peaceful.“

“The food is always Delicious!!! Staff is Great. Always Worth the Visit .“

“This place deserves the hype cause at this price for all you can eat?!!! This place is FIREEEE. You can eat as much food as you want included with rice, soup, bread, AND spring rolls. They even gave us extra oranges. I love it here. I will come back here for sure. 👍“

“I had the catfish and it was great . You have to eat it with the special sauce he has . DD was just outside with his meat smokers and jamming some amazing tunes. What a great guy and I will definitely go back for more. 5 big stars“

“Loved it here! Easy to make a reservation over the phone. Staff was very attentive, helpful, and kind. I was able to enjoy their premium AYCE meats for free because of their monthly giveaways. My review comes from honesty, not for the sake of it being free. I really liked the brisket and the marinated bulgogi. The brisket was soft, the bulgogi had a great flavor. Side dishes were nice, I especially enjoyed the cucumbers and the fish cakes. I honestly could eat a whole bowl of just the fish cakes. The kimchi was crunchy and flavorful. The spicy pork bibimbap was good, had a generous serving of pork, and is a big enough portion to share between two people. I appreciated the casual atmosphere, there was music, but it was playing softly enough that I didn't have to shout to be heard around our table. Whoever made the playlist has good music taste. There was a decent number of TVs as well playing the NBA playoffs. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and I recommend it to anyone looking to try it! :) Thank you for the great experience.“

“Really, really good food. The pork ribs were amazing.“

“Had an amazing time at this restaurant! The grilled fish was absolutely bursting with flavor—perfectly cooked, soaked in a rich, spicy broth with tons of garlic, peppers, and veggies. We picked the spicy level and it was just the right kick to wake up your taste buds!

Loved the fun presentation on the hot plate, keeping everything warm and bubbling throughout the meal. The little details (like the sesame seeds, jalapeños, and vermicelli noodles) really made it feel authentic and satisfying.

Also tried the crispy silkworm pupae—definitely an adventurous snack, but surprisingly addictive once you get into it!

Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and solid menu. Highly recommend if you’re into bold flavors and something a little different from your usual dinner spot. 💥🐟🌶️“
