Service was really good and the food was solid which surprised me. Busy on a Saturday night.

The plain outlook belies the neat and tidy inside. Went for the grill, tried both chicken and shrimp, and I had ordered the LA galbi as well but had the cook cook it for me so I could pack home. They do give you lettuce so you can eat it as a wrap, and helps you to cook on the grill (see video). Side dishes and the sauces were pretty authentic. Ssamjang (fermented soy paste that is mixed with other sauces for meat lettuce wraps) was a little different, more pale and liquidy. Didn't quite like that one. They do replenish the lettuce somewhat, but not the side dishes. The bowl of rice was good amount. The meat was marinated well. I had similar grilled chicken before but shrimp version was new to me. It was tasty and peeled well. The LA galbi was good too, but a little too little in terms of amount for the price (maybe the meat had shrink during cooking), so gave 4 for service. Lots of options on the menu in both appetizers and main dishes. The seafood pancake was quite thick and oily. Want to try other ones too, curious to see how authentic they are. They also don't have Korean desserts, unfortunately. So please plan accordingly. There is Hmart and Paris Barguette nearby (walking distance), FYI, if want something Korean for dessert as well.

This place is really special, give it a try! I’ve been here about 5 times from 2024-2025. The quality of the food is very good, everything I’ve had is always fresh and so fast. The staff is AMAZING. 2 people in my party have food allergies, the staff went through it order and customize what they could to fit our needs, then suggested other safe items. They even brought out special sauces for each person to have, it really was above and beyond service. Sometimes parties are large and it can get rowdy and loud but they’re always gray and accommodating no matter how busy.

I have the dish with eel on rice, It's good but sweeter. I also have the dish like teriyaki chicken in hot plate also sweeter... Recommend to request lighter in sauce when ordering.

This is the worst Korean BBQ restaurant I've ever been to. The service is terrible, and the meat quality is poor. People who don't know much about Korean food might like it. If you're expecting authentic Korean food, I highly recommend not going.

NEVER returning here again. I have never seen someone grill kbbq like this place…

When I came before, there were a lot of Korean servers and customers, and I have had their 생갈비 and 양영갈비 and it was good.

But this time the lady just dumped multiple servings in one go (usually they do it strip by strip so maybe this is how they do their jumulleok which is precut or maybe its because the servers arent korean so they dont know how to cook kbbq). But I have never ever seen that way of cooking in my life, usually it is slab by slab or piece by piece. But instead it was a mound of meat and some ended up burnt and others were undercooked.

They also didnt provide the dipping sauces unless we asked and gave like 5 pieces of lettuce. The bibim neungmyun egg also had a thick grey ring around it and the meat was quite tough, but the noodles at least tasted good

Nice Korean BBQ. The beef quality is good and the service is very nice. We 4 people ordered three meats one soup and finished everything. Highly recommend the Galbi. The Galbi Tang is good as well. A bit hard to find parking but on Wednesday night, street parking is ok. I walked to the restaurant after parking two blocks away.

Koreana is a decent Korean BBQ restaurant. I especially like the beef tongue here. The service is pretty good in general as the waitresses responded super fast towards our requests.
