“Yangmani Korean BBQ delivers an incredible dining experience with its high-quality meats and flavorful tofu soup. The marinated short ribs are tender and delicious, while the tofu soup is rich and perfectly spiced. The fresh banchan and attentive service make the meal even more enjoyable. For a cozy and satisfying Korean BBQ experience, Yangmani is a great choice!“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“Pleasant surprise for a great meal after golfing across the street at Diamond Bar. Meat was fresh. Bangchan was tasty and service was good, granted that it was a quiet night. The decor was kind of odd for a BBQ spot but the price performance is great.“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The food is so good and the people working there are the most friendliest I've ever met!!! I'm definitely coming back here for more food!!! 5 stars!!!“

“Shhh…hidden gem! This ayce kbbq restaurant is outstanding! I’ve been to many kbbq places over the years and Seoul BBQ is top notch. Everything came out quickly, including the fried potstickers, water refills, meat refills, and grill changes. It was a laid back atmosphere, not a bunch of announcements or loud music. It had a good vibe for talking and hanging out with friends. We enjoyed several rounds of meats from the A and B menus, multiple grill changes, some peach flavored rice wine, and a fun time with friends and family. The beef bulgogi and beef brisket were excellent; everyone else in the group also enjoyed several other cuts of meat including garlic pork belly, flying tiger beef, short rib, beef belly, and others. The parking lot was a bit rough so beware. Everyone that went into the restaurant seemed well dressed and happy to be there.

Parking: There is currently some barricaded construction which has blocked some of the parking spots (Dec 2024), making it difficult to find parking. There was also broken glass in one of the stalls which raised concern about cars being broken into recently. Turn on your car’s camera if you’ve got one.“

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

“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.“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“I’d say the food was tasty and fresh and the place is spacious. I would suggest the servers put a smile on their face and let us know when the seafood is ready to eat once they are so we don’t keep wondering/asking and keep looking at the food on the grill. The seafood got burnt a couple of times because they didn’t come back for it but that was ok because it was just rare occasion. However, they were still attentive to our needs, thanks to them.“

“Eat there only if you want to be treated like dirt. I am sick and tired of their way of treating their customers. They don't do reservations and their wait system is unforgiving and insane. 1. Long wait times like 1.5 hours 2. But with that long wait time, they only give you 10 minutes to "all be there" when they tell you table is ready. 3. That's not even the worst. They put a "wait time" estimate near their check in table. So you would think that is a solid guideline right? But no. The REAL wait time can swing a good 30 minutes both ways. Say they put "Current Wait time is 1.5 hours" you could get a call at 1 hour mark. And then they give you 10 minutes to get your party to be there. And they give you hell if your party can't make it like it's your fault that you don't have crystal ball to tell that your table will be ready in one hour’s time. I have tolerated it coz their food is actually really good. Meat quality is good etc etc. What broke the camels back today is. I checked in at 5:45 today. Wait time is 1.5 hours. So estimate sit time is 7:15 right? When I get the text that table is ready at 7:05 I thought all is awesome. AND THEN they told me that are actually having a staff party tonight and last call is at 8. That leaves my party less than an hour to do an AYCE dinner. I was furious. So I question them, “Why didn't you tell your customer that when they checked in?” "Well, we put the notice on the door. You didn't see it! So… 🤷🏻‍♀️” 1. There are a bunch of white and black notices all over the door and check in area. 2. And yes. My eye sight is not awesome. I didn't see it. But shouldn't it be THEIR JOB to let customer know VERBALLY when they check in that they are shifting the last call time an hour early? That’s basic decency. I wasted almost 2 hours there and by then it’s like lines all over the place for any place. I am never going back again for a restaurant that treats their customer like dirt so they can make money off me any more.“

“The food was really good, especially the spicy pork belly. It was the best meat I think. And their cilantro onion salad is really tasty too.

Staff is very kind and helpful and it doesn’t take long to get the attention of a server and get help as well which is awesome.

The only bad thing is ventilation. It gets really smoky eventually when it’s busy and the smoke stings your eyes a lot so it eventually got really uncomfortable. We asked if it was ok to open the back door we were next to in order to clear the smoke. They should just have the back door always open since their ventilation is having some issues unsure if it’s unable to keep up or what exactly but they should just keep the back door open and it completely solves the problem. I’d rather deal with my legs being chilly from time to time than my eyes burning and stinging and being unable to see

Kid-friendliness: I really appreciated that there are high chairs available and the staff was extremely kind and even though my baby made a mess throwing food on the floor when I went to go pick it up they told me it was ok that they sweep the floors anyway and I don’t have to do that. So it’s very family friendly and they have lots of food options that my 11 month old could eat too which was awesome since sometimes it can be difficult to find something that is baby friendly since he doesn’t have all his teeth“

“First time here we celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday. The food was delicious. They have big portions to share. Our server was so sweet we had little ones with us so she asked if we wanted the food to be cooked in the kitchen. My son (7) and granddaughter (3) picky eaters really liked the food. Thank you so much“

“We had the Spicy Blue Crab Stew and Seng Bulgogi. Our waiter cooked the Seng Bulgogi right at our table. Don’t miss out on wrapping the bulgogi in rice paper or pickled radish—it adds an extra layer of deliciousness. The portions are generous, and the banchans are amazing!“

“All you can eat for $40👏🏽👏🏽“

“We visited 9292 KBBQ in Rowland Heights with friends, and wow—what a deal! Lunch is just $19.99, and dinner is $25.99 for AYCE KBBQ. Honestly, for this price, we weren’t expecting much, but the meat quality blew us away! The pork belly and beef brisket were especially amazing—highly recommend!

They also have a self-serve meat bar and a hot food section with a great variety. Everything was fresh and delicious, and their japchae and tteokbokki were so good! On top of that, the space is huge, clean, and super comfortable, and the staff was really friendly. 🥰AYCE KBBQ at this price? Unreal. We’re definitely coming back. Highly recommend!!👍👍“
