“It was great to eat with family!!I chose All U Can, and the meat quality was better than I expected. In particular, the brisket and marinated ribs were really good.The staff were friendly and I enjoyed my meal to the fullest!!The valet parking fee was $10, which was too expensive, so I used street parking nearby.“
“After eating here for the first time, I told my brother (who I ate with) this is definitely the spot to bring the parents. A couple months later, we brought mom and dad. Enough said. Service and quality of food were really good. Highlights include marinated prime short rib, aged prime tenderloin, steamed egg, and Korean chimichurri sauce.“
“This place was awesome. First of all, Lena our waitress was so kind and willing to explain the menu to us as this was our first time. The food was delicious, I recommend getting a combo so you can try many different things. Not only was the food good but the experience was amazing as well. Lena cooked the meats on front of us (she cooked them perfectly) and you could add seasonings and sauces. Additionally, the sides are brought by ROBOTS. My little sister loved this and couldn't stop giggling every time a robot came by and dropped of some kimchi which was free with the combo. 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be coming back soon! Thank you Lena!“
“We dined here our first night in LA during Spring Break. For a family of 4, we ordered the Taste Of Parks BBQ. All the meats and aide dishes were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent. The wait staff is great at managing your grill so you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the food. I gave "Atmosphere" 4/5 stars because the inside can get rather loud. I would definitely come back here to eat!“
“Amazing quality Korean bbq and fantastic service. The meats are all great quality and good portions. All the staff is very friendly and quick with bringing all the items out. Will definitely be back and would recommend this place to everyone!“
“Ordered Package #1 & it was more than enough for two people especially with all the banchan. Everything was super tasty & the staff was very friendly. Would come back here & order dishes a la carte if just with one other person.“
“I found it through a Google search while traveling and was very satisfied! Thank you to Jun, who tactfully took our order and explained it in detail, and to Michell, who provided the children with steamed eggs and more seaweed. Thanks to you, we had a pleasant meal during our trip. As the name suggests, it was plentiful and delicious! !“
“We came here for the second time today and it was so much better than the first! Chris was an amazing server and was very quick and nice. The food was very good and the sides we were given were also very good. Great experience thanks to Chris!“
“Ordered the Galbi, cold noodles and soup for dinner. Quality of the Galbi was very good but it was pricy. Our waiter was an expert at grilling it patiently and cut it up for us. The hilight for the dinner was the cold noodles. It was light, refreshing and the noodles were so chewy and delicious. It's best to eat this as soon as it arrives otherwise the texture of the noodles change as it sits in the broth. The soup was average. Parking in the small lot is Valet.“
“Wow! The best marinated pork ribs! Come on down to Jin Ju. It isn't an all you can eat spot, but you can't beat the quality. My friend and I decided to try the prime beef and the marinated pork ribs (which is their speciality). Both meats were very delicious. They pretty much cook your food for you. The beef was cut into nice cubes. They were cooked at a perfect medium rare. The prok ribs were also cut into pieces, as well. There was a good selection of 10 types of banchan: fishcake (eomuk bokkeum), sesame broccoli, kimchi, potato salad, cucumber kimchi (sigeumchi-namul), stir-fried glass noodles (japchae), korean spinach, pickled onions, bean sprouts (kongnamul), pancake (yachaejeon), and radish kimchi (kkakdugi) . And honestly, this spot has one of the better quality banchan sides. The japchae had so much flavor, and the potato salad was also good. I appreciated that they offered the pickled onions, which goes really well with the marinated pork. My friend was also excited that they had korean spinach, which most places don't have at all. We also ordered the red pepper paste soup. It was so good! Rick and full of flavor. There's enough seating for 2-6 people to each table. It's not too big of a spot, so if you're trying to get away from the long lined spots - this is the spot to be. Service is quick and friendly. There is free parking in the lot if you're lucky. If not, you can find free street parking.“
“One of my favorite Korean bbq spots. They have free parking with validation. Over the years though they have slowly increased their prices which is reasonable but they also removed the steamed egg and the spicy tofu soup of their all you can eat menu which sucks.“
“Food was great! The service was excellent! They take reservations on weekends which is rare in Ktown I think. We were a pretty big party, but they were so nice from the beginning. I’m so glad that I found this place! Thank you soooo much!! See you again!“
“We came here at around 8 o'clock on a Wednesday night, and we still had to queue up. The most exaggerating thing is that after we almost finished eating, it was already around 10 o'clock, and there was still a queue outside. This is enough to prove the popularity of this restaurant, and it turns out that it is really tasty. The quality of the beef here is really good, definitely not the ordinary AYCE, there are many choices, very tender and flavorful. My favorite is their marinated short rib, and brisket, must order! Another feature here is that the pot is made of stone instead of the traditional iron plate. It feels better to be heated and the roasted beef is also very tender.“
“I found this Korean BBQ place when last Wednesday. It was rain so not too many people.We chose the $57.00/ per person all you can eat. Meat was high quality, service was great, they helped us all the time. Especially, the Tofu Soup was so delicious even better most Tofu restaurants. Lol.If you will be LA Downtown, give it a try.“
“Came for lunch at 11:15 no wait, only one other party in the restaurant. Got the ahgassi combo and added an order of fatty beef intestine. Too much food - although it was just mom and me.Love the banchan. Love the kimchi. Mom loves the sweet potatoes. I also loved the leeks.Meat quality was bomb. Especially the intestines.Service was 5 stars. Especially Jin.“
“Best Korean BBQ, charcoal really makes a difference. This place is pricey and is not all you can eat but it is fantastic. If cooking your own food intimidates you, no worries, they’re hustling staff will do it for you and help you out as needed. Set a new bar for us. Get the short ribs.“
“Dining at Pigya in Los Angeles was a memorable experience that exceeded our expectations, thanks in large part to the exceptional service and culinary delights we encountered. From the moment we made reservations for our family of five, the awesome employees at Pigya ensured our visit was seamless and special.Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly staff. The atmosphere was inviting, making us feel right at home.Our server was the epitome of attentiveness, ensuring our every need was met with a smile. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, guiding us through the selections with expert advice. This level of service was not only refreshing but significantly enhanced our dining experience.We ordered pork gyu which was enough for our family. The banchans were delicious. Our server cooked the meats. Cooked to absolute perfection, every bite was a culinary revelation. The flavors were bold, yet perfectly balanced, showcasing a level of culinary craftsmanship that is hard to find.Everything we ordered was delicious, leaving us thoroughly impressed and eager to return. Pigya in Los Angeles has not only mastered the art of cooking but also the ability to create a dining experience that feels both personal and extraordinary. This is a place where food and service come together in perfect harmony, making it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to indulge in some of the best cuisine LA has to offer.“
“This place is really amazing! Literally 10/10 I would recommend. The food is so delicious, I would definitely recommend the hot beef brisket Ramen bowl !!!! And the customer service is through the roof! The works are always there for anything you need and really fast service!“
“My boyfriend and I love this place. Staff: took good care of us and very helpful and were so polite and helped us out. Irene and jay? (Sorry I forgot his name) we're awesome! I hope I get one of them again. Place: it was very welcoming and the artwork is beautiful. Place and the restroom was top notch clean. Food: absolutely amazing! I don't know which one is my fav. Meat selection was superb "a kiss to the chef" Overall: I love it and look forward to going back“
“Mmmm... I love eight bbq! Their food is DELICIOUS and the service is usually AMAZING! I love all their flavors of pork belly and the kimchi fried rice is so good! The place is pretty nice, even though it isn't that new so that's a plus. So I highly recommend this place if you love Korean bbq.“
“My girl and her friends invited me to go along, we had such a good time, however no everyone made it. Food is really good service is fast and staff are very friendly, . Highly recommend this bbqParking: Is 3 dollar for valet , however the guy let me park, but is still 3 dollars wether they park for you or park yourself“
“This place was amazing for an inexperienced KBBQ'er. It was me and my partner (Chinese and White). The staff were so friendly and helped explain what dishes were and how to eat them. They also cooked the meat and sides for us so we didnt have to stress over that part for our first time. The owner ended up serving us due to the flow of people and Chris/Kris was amazing. She let us try the house made Lemon Soju and really solidified that we would be coming back.Our other server was amazing and she took care of us majority of the night, I didnt catch her name but I also forgot my card there and she caught up to me like half a block to give it back. So sweet and above and beyond.We got a plate of Brisket and Bulgogi with two Soju bottles peach and strawberry. The house lemon one was my favorite though and we will be getting it next time we go.We street parked and payed $1.25 until 8pm hit and didnt have to pay anymore.“

“Sometimes a reservation is necessary but for 3 people at 9pm on a Saturday we didn't need one (though I liked the ease of being able to make one last minute). Not super knowledgeable/friendly for those with allergies so keep that in mind. Otherwise, a great meal for a group.“
“Ohana BBQ is my comfort Hawaiian food spot on Ventura Blvd. They stand out among the others because it's Hawaiian dishes with Korean BBQ. Every time my wife and I go , the gentleman who takes the phone orders is also the one ringing us up and he's so pleasant each time. My favorite item on the menu is the japchae with short rib. They're also very generous with the teriyaki and hot sauce which is a plus. Also the wall of celebrities who've dined there is such a great touch!“
“My recent visit to Oleego by Parks BBQ was nothing short of spectacular! The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring our dining experience was top-notch. The food was a carnivore's dream, with melt-in-your-mouth brisket and finger-licking ribs. The rustic yet cozy ambiance added to the overall charm of the place. A must-visit for all barbecue enthusiasts!“
“One of the best AYCE Kbbq I've tried in LA! The meats that we've tried here were incredibly fresh! I highly recommend their Ribeye Steak, Wagyu Beef Belly, and Giant Beef Rib. The Ribeye Steak was so juicy and tender. It's comparable to Kbbq spots that aren't AYCE. I love the other dishes that they offer as well, especially the dynamite scallops and honey glazed sweet potatoes. Aside from their amazing food options, they also have a lovely and spacious outdoor patio.“
“We booked a table for 7 people in advance. When we arrived everything was ready. All the food was fresh and delicious, especially the marinated beef. The waiters were always attentive, kind and helpful. I am grateful to all the staff for their excellent work. I hope you guys will always be as great as you are now. Thank you!?Parking: You can park along the street or drive into the restaurant and they will park your car for you.“
“Hands down by favorite KBBQ place in LA and I've been to a ton. Been here probably 20 times now. Never a wait, fast service, TVs with sports on, all you can eat, high quality beef, great price, accommodating staff. I've had good experiences with the $2 valet parking as well. Absolutely love this place!“
“Great lowkey spot for KBBQ, prices are great, staff is quick and attentive and all the mains, sides are delicious. I also love the music it was an amazing touch to raise the energy of the place. Only thing I didn't love was the pre paying before but it wasn't a huge deal just FYI. Will be returning though.“
“Me and my friends went to this place on last Friday evening, 3/15. It was so busy although, our server Danny was very attentive and keep checked if we need any other stuffs. Meats were kind of frozen but not too bad, they did a little birthday song as well which was cute haha. Overall it was awesome, definitely coming back later!“
“So for it being my first time there it was all delicious and waitress was perfect, the service was amazing overall, I would give it a 5 stars but because we had a horrible bill complication. Just if you pay cash make sure you count the money together that you give to your waitress there on the spot before she walks away. Because today we over paid $100 hundred dollars. My bill was $513.27 and ended up paying $613.27 A total for a party of 10 We didn't not get a refund We still paid for parking because parking is 15 dollars. Mike the manger said we can come back and maybe redeem the lost $100. But not sure if I even want to!“
“The BBQ here is amazing. Great service and very clean. But arrive early because the wait can get quite long during peak dinner times. And be sure to order the flavored soju for a perfect pairing!Parking: Valet parking is necessary because the parking lot can get crowded very quickly. The valets work hard to keep things moving in an orderly fashion. If not for the valets, the parking lot would quickly turn into absolute chaos. Tip them well.“
“This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions. I would like to come back here again and again. The service we received was amazing. The staff is extremely knowledgeable & friendly and make great recommendations. I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Excellent food! Highly recommended! ☺️“
“It's always a great experience ordering from this location. They have better parking situation than the one on 6th. The spareribs are perfectly seasoned and grilled and their banchan are always fresh. Their gamjatang is also a favorite. Call in your order to go and it will be ready on time.“
“I frequent this location pretty often, some might say a little to much ?. But the food always hits the spot and the service is always amazing. I've gone to my fair share of korean bbq places, but this is definitely my go-to and the one I always recommend. If you've visited multiple korean bbq spots in the k-town area, I'm sure you'd agree that service isn't always their priority, but J BBQ's service is next level, and honestly the main reason this is my go-to location. The servers are extremely attentive, Byammba who is a server there is awesome, always notices when you need to order anything or if you need more of any side dishes, always brings them over without having to ask, even when they're super busy. Not sure about you, but great customer service is what keeps me coming back to places and J BBQ forsure does an amazing job with that and the food is even better.“
“Family’s (Korean) consensus rating was five stars ✨! First off the service was great. We were there early and owner sat us down and even told us to start eating if we wanted to. Note, they have special pricing starting at 7:30pm, but that wasn’t an issue. Not used to that, especially at AYCE restaurant. They also came by and cooked some of the meats for us and changed grills often. Again, not used to that from AYCE.Second was the quality of the meat. The Kalbi was tasty and fresh. The size of the shrimp too! There really wasn’t a bad dish we tried and for $35pp after 7:30pm, we thought it was a really great deal.Place is a bit worn, but we weren’t there for the decor. We just wanted a variety of good Korean dishes and were not disappointed!“
“Specializing in Korean lunch boxes, raw fish rice bowl, bean noodles, rice cake dumpling soup, squid somen, etc. A popular place for lunch and catering for office workers in nearby offices. Overall, it is delicious and the portions are good.Hwaedupbap (sushi rice) - personally it’s best menu (huge portion) diced raw sushi (salmon & tuna) with gochujang topping on the rice,overall very delicious and large portion food for the whole family to share.Also if you like spicy Korean mixed bibim noodle like Jjolmyun, I recommend trying Ojingo Somyun the spicy squid noodle, very delicious ?Seems like a lot of people have menus for take out / to-go / delivery from Koreatown & the offices nearby (talked to the very kind sajangnim owner lady, very confident of her menu - using fresh ingredients & the taste)Highly recommended this place for office workers who work nearby. (For delivery & take out)Vegetarian options: They got konggooksoo (Korean cold bean noodle), quenching dish on hot summer days“
“It is soooo hard to find Samgyeopsal in ktown the way it's typically served in Korea. But this place feels so authentic and it's the only place I recommend my friends to go eat kbbq. I especially loved the pajeon that was served in the beginning and that seaweed was a side dish (again super hard to find in ktown). This place is delicious!“
“Love this place! It's refreshing to see non-kbbq-type Korean joints that serve delicious, well-balanced meals at an affordable price.Whenever I need to be in the area, I drop by because their pork belly is amazing - reminiscent of southern bbq! Their rice, which they lightly add some special touches to is awesome too. The owners are really nice folks; love supporting them. I'd highly highly recommend it if you're looking for something quick and casual in the area.“
“Me and my partner live close by so we decided to stop by on a Wednesday night. It was pretty empty, only 2-3 other groups. The restaurant felt a lot more homey compared to other KBBQ. It felt like a lowkey spot where close friends can get together and reminisce on fond memories together. We liked it a lot. We really enjoyed the side dishes - especially the salad and the cooked meat. We ordered the AYCE Set A. Price was very reasonable. Definitely not the best we've had but still good. I love steamed egg so I had to order and had no regrets. Service was good too. I will mention the smoke is a bit more on the heavy side which we didn't love as it starts to smell burnt.“
“We've been here a total of three times. The first time we went there, the service and food was amazing. The second time, it was okay. This last time, the food was not that great.The service staff was marvelous, the exhaust fans needed to be repaired, but the quality of food needs some improvement.“
“Decently priced AYCE kbbq places. I came here for lunch. It was so much food and everything was so good! They have a self serve section of all the sides.I loved how they played music by Norcal artists here. Our server was very efficient and got everything out to our table quickly.I didn't have any issue with parking.“

“I was craving KBBQ, and came to try Gangnam Station in Koreatown! We were seated immediately during dinner time on a Thursday night!I genuinely was shocked at the price to quality because it was so good for only $29.99 (Menu A). They offered a wide selection of premium meat cuts PLUS their self-serve meat and side dish bar! I loved the complimentary tofu soup too!The servers were very attentive to us and changed the pan frequently and always provided us top service.The inside ambiance was so nice as I was able to see the city/street view! They offer parking validation with 2 hours free underground parking!Save this spot for your next meal?Parking: 2 Hour Free Parking Validation“

“I think this is the best dakgalbi restaurant in K-Town! It's good because it's not too sweet and not too salty!! I recommend adding cheese!! The amount of vegetables is plentiful and be sure to eat the fried rice at the end :) I come here often and I ordered chicken feet once, but the boneless chicken feet ㅜㅜ I'm sorry, but it wasn't very good... It's oily and spicy ㅠㅜ“
“It was the best Korean barbecue experience. Everything was perfect, especially the grilled beef tongue melted in my mouth. The servers were very friendly and the service was very good. The interior is so clean and modern that it makes you want to come back anytime.“
“We came here around 5ish in the afternoon, perfect time for a lesser crowd. They asked us if we do have reservation which we don’t. we availed the all you can eat priced at $43 each for dinner. I should say it was all worth it. Meat quality was superb! so good it melts in your mouth, especially the rib-eye! they also grill it for you. Space was a little narrow but they have another extension, also parking's a little tight. Nonetheless, it didn't bother us since we arrived at an earlier time. Food wise and customer service, I definitely recommend this place. One of my top choices for Korean BBQ here in LA.“
“Best meat, drinks and service! Honestly the best kbbq I've had, I make the trek over from DTLA just to eat here. The employees are extremely attentive and generous. They kindly refilled my favourite side dishes multiple times without hesitation. I wasn't sure which beer to get and they gave me the perfect recommendation. Despite the restaurant being full, the ambiance is still decently quiet and relaxing. I can't recommend this place enough!!!“
“Steamed egg, soybean paste stew, brisket, spicy pork belly are delicious. Garlic and hot peppers are also provided upon request. Even though it was a weekday, there were a lot of people in the early morning. The female owner was very kind and cheerful. Very satisfied.“
“the price has definitely gone up, but the food is good. The meats are marinated well.. this is my second time here and really enjoyed the food but the issue I have with the places the floor is so slippery, so that is pretty concerning. that's all I need is to slip and fly into somebody“
“The place is not very big, the food is delicious and the people who serve you are friendly, although it takes a long time to pass, there were many empty tables and it takes a long time to clean the tables that are unoccupied, I guess that is why it takes you a long time to pass although Once you do it, they don't take long to serve you, you need to be controlling the temperature of the grill because they don't do it, which I definitely didn't like, the bathrooms were very dirty, in front of the restaurant there is a parking lot so you won't have a problem with it. That's something that's on the menu and that the waiters don't tell you or at least the one who served us didn't, is that you should eat everything you order (so think carefully about what you're going to order), generally good.“
