Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Van Nuys, CA

“Just wanted to share that Brian, our waiter was super kind. He was so present with our needs, constantly came by to check on us and even told us to get home safely after leaving. You can tell when people are on autopilot sometimes but we felt like people (there were 8 of us) and it felt like he was serving just us, even with lots of people here. (It was dinner time on Saturday).

The staff was good but shout out to our server Brian. We can tell you do things with love. :)

And oh yeah the meat was good too! Lol“

“If you’re chasing premium Korean BBQ in the heart of K-Town, this spot is one of the more elevated experiences in the neighborhood. 🇰🇷🔥 Jeong Yuk Jeom translates to “butcher shop” — and that’s exactly the vibe you get: hand-selected, dry-aged and wet-aged beef cuts cooked over charcoal that deliver rich flavor and juiciness worth savoring.

The restaurant’s interior is sleek and spacious, perfect for groups or date nights, with good ventilation so you don’t walk out smelling like a grill.

Upscale, flavorful, and memorable Korean BBQ in LA.
Would go again? Absolutely — especially for the dry-aged beef and unique dishes you don’t find everywhere. 🍷🥩“

“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!“

“Very affordable and chill place to swing by with friends after work. The owner is very sweet and all staff is very attentive and care that you're having a good experience.

Place is open late and definitely recommend for a casual hang out with friends!“

“The food is soooo good!!!!

The pork belly is thick, juicy, and grilled perfectly by the staff, so you don’t have to cook anything yourself. Service is attentive and professional.

The side dishes are also a highlight — lots of variety, and everything we tried was solid. I love their eggs and soup!!! Not just the pork, the beef was surprisingly good and very juicy.

Overall, a great place for a casual dinner or group meal. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in K-town.“

“Friendly staff and servers. Good selection. Good meat . They seated us right away . Good parking. First time and if I am in the area again, will definitely eat here again.“

“Homemade kimchi, homemade stews, unlimited banchan stations ala Sizzler style, warm and sincere and attentive service, big comfy booths, and headache-free to park at (it's in a strip mall!) and get to compared to the dense traffic of neighboring Koreatown. Apparently this is an original, history-making spot way ahead of its time. And people may come for the all you can eat KBBQ, but straight up I come for the AYCE banchan and Korean dishes that feel like I'm back at home with mom.“

“The place to go for delicious pork kbbq! I highly recommend the thick pork belly, marinated pork ribs, and the corn cheese. The pork marinade was flavorful and not as sweet as other kbbq places. They give a nice variety of side dishes which were really good with the pork belly.

The service was also top notch. Very attentive and friendly.“

“Summary:
- When you get a lil twist in affordable Korean BBQ, this is what you get. Get the miso soup, it’s got a kick to it
Pro:
- Good value for the price
- Very big portion. I like they let you cut however you wanna cut it
- Super good + fast service. Dude’s fast as lightning
- Variety of side dish, and if you get second round side dish it’s a lot more too
- I like how they provide lots of onions and jalapeños
Con:
- parking lot environment is kinda scary during afternoon already
- Most meat is more on the sweeter tone, it can get a little bit much afterwards
- I’d say don’t get the intestine“

“Great owners, long time staff who are really good people. They all care about their food and their service“

“first time visit and we'll be coming back the food was great and the service was better very friendly and cordial.“

“Es mi primera vez que mi hijo me invitó a cenar y muy buen servicio y muy limpio muy buena cena Gracias“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant when our original plan fell through. I'd seen videos of Korean fried chicken, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Wow! The food was delicious. I ordered the Honey Garlic and Soy Garlic wings. I thought the Honey Garlic was better. I also really liked the French fries. I'm definitely going back and can't wait to try the Secret sauce. 8 pieces is plenty for 2 people. Even as leftovers, the chicken stayed crunchy 😋“

“First time eating here. Tons of great food, fast service.“

“I had a great lunch with my family“

“We came here for thanksgiving 2025, last time I was here, it was under a different name, they’ve remodeled the inside it looks nicer now. The atmosphere is a lot better,

There are different level of food you can order where they bring you the meat you choose to grill and they have a section where cooked foods are available (chicken wings, potatoes beef ribs, fried rice, noodles, salads, etc…)

Service is friendly and attentive. The dining area is kept clean and presentable. They kept replacing the grill

When we asked for the check, we noticed a line where you add a tip amount, but a service charge was included, when we asked the waiter what the service charge was for, he told us that it was a 18% gratuity automatically added to any party over 2 , the menu fine print said that single diner will be charged $10.99 service fee. Kinda sneaky of them to add a separate tip line in case you don’t pay attention to the bill, and add a tip

There is well lighted parking lot, with valet parking ($3.00)“

“I really enjoy their bbq combos, side dishes, and soybean stew. But when you're not there to get the bbq combo, they usually sit you off on the other side of the restaurant. My party and I had to wait quite a while for the waiter to take our orders when on the non grilling side. And they don't check on you once your order arrives. I ordered the bulgogi, which was pretty pricy and the portion size was really small. I'd go only got the bbq.“

“My first time eating at a Korean BBQ restaurant. I really enjoyed the experience and the food.“

“Amazing place, this is my 2nd time here and I love this place. The food is amazing, I went to celebrate my son's graduation here they took care of every one in our party( 11 in total) is very different from other Korean BBQ Restaurants I've visit, I feel I enjoyed the food more, is a very small place but the experience make it worth the lack of ambiance.
I will definitely will be coming back.
I don't know how much is for each individual plate because I had 11 people in my party and we just ordered until everyone was satisfied but it was worth every penny.
The serves make sure you get everything you need, I ordered the marinated beef it was very juice, they lack on variety of choices but it still gives you the whole Korean bbq feel, they provide you with onions, jalapenos and garlic per request, also their salad is AMAZING. It is it not luxurious as other BBQ places.
I still find the meat on this places a much better quality than other Korean BBQ places., I will definitely be coming back.“

“My parents and I came here for my 25th birthday. The establishment has a fascinating environment, and rather welcoming atmosphere. The customer service was both accommodating and reliable, and was able to explain things quite well whenever we had an inquiry. The food was rather enjoyable, and exceeded my expectations. If my family and I shall ever plan to come back in the future, I shall welcome it with much enthusiasm.“

“Good for the price . Good for birthday parties“

“Had a reservation for a table of 18, the managers accommodated us very well. And our two waiters were awesome! They were attentive, fast and always had a good attitude. The food speaks for itself!! Very tasty. We definitely got our butts kicked and walked out with a food coma. Great birthday dinner for my mom. Definitely recommend for a groups or even a couple.“
