Can get very busy, especially on Friday evenings or weekends. Had lots of seating, and service was very friendly and servers were prompted, attentive and quick with the cooking. There were also lots of side dishes (salad, seaweed salad, potato salad, kimchi, egg, tofu, soup, rice sheet). Our group of 4 ordered combo 1 + seasoned boneless short ribs (would recommend!). The price can be on the higher end, so be prepared (better to split among a group size). Overall would recommend!
Yummy korean bbq. It is very busy restaurant. At least this time we don't need to wait for 2 hours. We ordered jumbo one and it feed 5 to 7 people with medium appetite with some extra items
Really overhyped for the price and experience. Total with tax and tip was $51 after tax and tip for a 1/4lb beef tongue, 1/4lb spicy pork jowl, and LA galbi tacos.Wait time was 15mins for two at 11:45PM.Banchan: 8/10. Kimchi great, rice paper great, salad great. Shocked that rice was not served by default. We didn't get any and I didn't think to ask until another table got it. Another review said unlimited, that definitely wasn't the case for us because we never got any refills.Beef Tongue: 4/10 for me, 6/10 for my partner who generally likes it more. Cooked too well done.Spicy Pork Jowl: 7/10 for both of us. A lot of fat and not much meat but flavorful.LA Galbi Tacos: 1.5/10 don't waste your money. Uncooked flour tacos fell apart while being served and it was filled with diced kimchi and barely any meat.For $51 I could get two AYCE meals elsewhere. Great to try once, maybe some other meats, and with great complimentary banchan but otherwise overhyped.
I waited a half hour to eat here, and oh boy was I ever not let down! The service was amazingly fast, which was great because we were in a bit of a hurry, and they grilled the various meats to perfection! Everything was very tender and tasty, particularly the penultimate beef dish we were served, beef short rib (?). That was just perfectly flavorful and juicy. To top it off, they served us cheese fondue, which was unconventional but really good. Got the #2 combo, and it was a very comfortable amount of food for two people to share
This was our first time having Korean BBQ. We are from out of state and our front desk clerk of our hotel recommended it. We are so grateful he did. The 2 hour wait time was WORTH IT! The food was amazing, we got the beef combo and did not regret it. The meat was tender and flavorful. The server cooks the meat at the table and if you've never been just ask for a quick tutorial and they will provide one.I also really enjoyed the Soju Raspberry drink, it was light and refreshing. Hands down a must in LA!
High quality meat in a new, modern setting where they cook the meat for you, you don’t have to yourself. I will admit other reviews are right that the staff could be more polite and explain the items/options more, but I’m a frequent flier to Asian restaurants of all types so I already expected that to happen so I wasn’t as upset as others since I predicted and planned for that experience.We chose the Brisket (some of the best I’ve had @ BBQ and definitely my favorite option), the bulgogi which was also delicious, the spicy chicken (this one was so so I could have gone without because it wasn’t as crispy or seasoned as I prefer), and the jumbo shrimp (very tasty with all the chili dips and sauces).It’s more expensive that other Korean BBQ options close by, but I would say the meat quality is higher and I really liked how clean it was on the inside. Sitting near the entrance can be a challenge when it’s windy because the smoke will get in your face a lot but it’s all part of the experience. Overall very good and I would recommend to any BBQ fan.
Excellent Spot for Korean Barbeque! I like that they cook it for you too. Lots of side dishes and the flavors are all there for everything! We got the combo 2 and it was a great recommendation from our server. Staff were all super friendly and accommodating!
We (2) went there on Mother’s Day for lunch, line with 50+ people was already form before they open at 11 am. We were seated at 11:30. Side dishes are free and delicious, We ordered ala carte: brisket, pork belly, beef tongue (I know), bulgogi and kimchi fried rice. There are assorted veg, steam egg and cheese for you to dip whatever you want. We end up taken quite a bit home. Good food, like it alot.
a little expensive and not all you can eat
I've been to Korean bbq before but my nieces who were visiting from out of state it was their first time and my first time here. Service was great...our server was new and in training but he did a great job. We had beef combo, spicy chicken and short ribs. It was plenty for 5 of us. The kimchee fried rice was delicious. It is busy and congested with parking hard to come by. We got lucky and found street parking.
