18 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Torrance

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

“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!“

“My family and I have been visiting this restaurant for many years, even when it was called Big Wok. The owner and cooks are amazing and friendly! The stir fry is always delicious. You can choose your protein & veggies , add noodles with a great selection of sauces. The sesame biscuits are like little pita Pockets you fill up.“

“It just has that KBBQ vibe. The servers are so friendly and super accommodating. They suggest, recommend, and chat you up. Super cozy.

As for the food, get the signature dish: gobchang (intestines). For a medium, you get to choose three of the four choices: abomasum (stomach), tripe, large intestines, and small intestines. Additionally, you get side dishes, a choice of a stew (kimchi or fermented soybean), corn cheese, steamed egg, and salad. They cook the intestines for you before bringing it out to your table, so that it says warm as you eat. They stir fry the intestines with potato slices, onions, garlic and mushrooms. They really do 곱창 right. We also ordered the beef tartare, since they had posters of it around the restaurant. The beef tartare is definitely in the top 3 of the ones I've tried around OC, NY, and SD. The cuts are thicker than normal and the seasoning is perfect. They don't include a lot of ingredients like other places do, but it just hits better.

It's within a plaza, so there is plenty of parking around the restaurant. This place has become one of my go-tos for gopchang. A++!“

“This place is incredible. I’m honestly shocked it doesn’t have more reviews or a Michelin star. My wife took me here for Father’s Day and it was just fantastic food. We eat at places all over the world, and we’re in Japan in March, and this was still a super special experience. Thank god it is 10 minutes down the road haha“

“a LOT of food for the price. great customer service.“

“Still great after all these years A nice variety of meat selections and super tasty.“

“😀My first time at Stonefire everything was fantastic and Nick that works there was great and helpful.“

“Food is not bad. Grill is very small - good for 2 people but not for 3 or more.
Ventilation is pretty bad, your hair and clothes won’t survive the bbq odor with smoke directly hovering into your face most of the time. Some people might actually enjoy this dinning experience, but definitely not for all.
Price is on the higher side, quality is fine, overall value is average.“

“This is by far the best all you can eat AYCE Kbbq restaurant in Torrance. The staff were incredibly attentive and A++ for the cleanliness of the restaurant. 😊 I really like that most of the common cookable meats are out on the salad bar as well as vegetables, appetizers, all the sauces, fruits 🤤 all readily available to everyone - so you can easily get more. 😉 I highly recommend trying the beef belly, beef rib finger and marinated short ribs each cut was tender and flavorful. The cheesecorn, shrimp tempura, tofu soup and baked mussels were delicious side options and cooked to perfection. 😊💯“

“I recently visited this barbecue spot where you cook the meat yourself at the table, very similar to a Korean barbecue experience, and overall it was a really enjoyable visit. The quality of the meat is excellent—fresh, flavorful, and presented beautifully. I ordered a variety of cuts including one portion of Wagyu, which was good, though not the standout I expected. Still, everything else was genuinely impressive, and you can definitely taste the quality in every bite.

The place is on the pricier side. For me as a single person, my total came out to around $100, which is definitely not cheap. But considering the experience, the freshness of the ingredients, and the type of meats offered, it’s understandable. This is not an everyday spot, but more of a “treat yourself” type of place or somewhere you go when you want a quality dining experience.

The atmosphere is nice and modern, and the service is attentive and helpful. When the restaurant gets busy, it can get a bit loud, but that’s pretty normal for this style of barbecue where everyone is cooking, talking, and enjoying the vibe. It still feels fun and energetic rather than overwhelming.

Overall, I’d say this restaurant is worth a visit, especially if you enjoy the interactive experience of grilling your own meat. It’s a great place to try at least once, or to come back occasionally when you’re in the mood for high-quality barbecue and a unique dining experience. Positive vibes, good food, and a memorable night out.“

“I visited Lucille’s Smokehouse with a colleague. I ordered the chicken bowl (fourth option in the bowl section) with a ginger ale, while he chose the two-meat combo with two sides and a basket of biscuits.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. My portion was just right, while his was quite large. It’s definitely American-sized compared to what we’re used to as European tourists.

A solid spot for a casual lunch or relaxed dining.“

“Japanese no shoes table experience“

“QUITE LITERALLY one of the best hidden gems in LA. The chicken skewers are jumbo and the sides are FIRE. The mac and cheese is just as good as the best I've ever had. The brussel sprouts are solid.One of the BEST values out there. And hidden in a super market. Whoda thunk?

Vegetarian options: Brussel sprouts. Vegetable medley.“

“Very friendly staff! They are always very nice and friendly. The food is delicious and you get large servings compared to other places! The atmosphere is great! Sometimes it gets a little busy, but their service is very fast! Love eating there!“

“great server delicious food fresh n clean“

“Was craving beef and rice, so I went to Ono Hawaiian BBQ.

This particular location has a drive-thru which is convenient for those who are on the go like myself.

Ordered the all beef plate with steam rice and substituted salad for macaroni salad.

Order came out exactly what I wanted and staff was Professional/Friendly at check out.

Couple of notes.
1. Drive-thru is convenient but can take a while before receiving your order due to customers ahead of you orders.
A. This particular wait was 20-30 minutes.

2. For $4-5.00 more, one can upgrade the beef plate to galbi plate.
A. Galbi does have bones.

If you are in the mood for a healthy alternative for beef/chicken, I recommend Ono Hawaiian BBQ.“

“I've been to a few Korean bbq restaurants but this place by far had the biggest selection of items to grill and the service was excellent. My family and I had a great time.“
