43 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Rolling Hills Estates

“Been here a few times, have ordered the pho, vermicelli, spring rolls, and a rice plate. I can easily recommend any of these items! My favorite so far has been the combo vermicelli where you can pick two proteins. If you're looking for your pho fix, this is the spot.“

“To the uninitiated, this place offers the right amount and fare, with quality just being ok, at a location convenient to those that frequent the area. There are other similar places that offer more in terms of selection and quality within a short drive. Service was on the good side and not a concern. Staff was helpful to first time customers. May come back here to avoid the crowd at other places.“

“My parents and I had a great dinner here last night. The restaurant can modify almost any dish to be vegan, and we enjoyed the flavorful eggplant dish, corn and mushroom dish, fried rice, and vegetable and tofu soup. We also had excellent service from Tyler and Allison who were knowledgeable about the vegan options and very helpful. This is a new family favorite and we will be back again!“

“Love this place! I think it's the best and the only one of its kind. The ingredients are sooo fresh. It's an all you can eat, but no doggy bags allowed. You can order takeout. The staff is friendly. It's a pretty casual restaurant.“

“I knew it was going to be fire from the crumb of smoked fried chicken breading I had from my bf's plate. I had to take a moment to prepare myself. The fried chicken was so expertly seasoned and crispy. I got the 3 meat combo, pretty reasonably priced for the amount of meat I got. The sauce is awesome and the meat is juicy and tender. I had to take my nose ring off cause I was so serious about this BBQ. Cornbread is so soft and fluffy and tastes like something your grandma made. The writing on the bricks from people all over were not lying. Nice people behind the counter and great vibe. Best food I've had in El Segundo.“

“Well … what to say. I was actually even considering not to post review- little hidden gem like this should be protected:) First meat - beyond believe and 100% THE best BBQ I ever had. Brisket was famous, but the RIBS?!! Wooow… well… I’m taking my hat off, thank you and thanks destiny to let me to find such place.“

“Ribs have plenty of meat, but to my taste a bit dry and chewy. I like more tender and more moisture ribs meat. Salads were good and fresh, but really small. Staff was friendly. OK for one time, but won’t drive here specially for ribs for $30+…pricy… Other restaurants offer more and better for the same price.“

“Best thai place I had in awhile. Great value. I had the beef satay and my wife had the chicken satay. Beef satay is bomb. I recommend the cucumber salad over the papaya salad. It had a subway veggies type of taste. My wife is picky and ended up loving it. Be here soon again. 17 bucks average meal.“

“Cat robot servers, a self-serve bar, over 30 selections for Korean BBQ, and it's only $34.99 per person??! I think I may have just found my new favorite KBBQ spot and it's in Torrance!Waiting for the grill to get hot is like the most aggravating few seconds of KBBQ, does anyone else feel me on this?? But the fact that they have yummy apps like baked mussels (my fave!) ready to eat and banchans makes it worth the wait.They've got all your quintessential favorites like jiggly steamed egg and corn cheese, and all the toppings you need to make your perfect bite.Thanks for reading! ^-^“

“I recently visited Palsaik with my girlfriend and her friends, and let me tell you—it was a trip down memory lane! Having lived in Korea about ten years ago, I was thrilled to find this gem right here. Palsaik specializes in eight different flavors of pork belly, and each bite was like a reunion with old friends.The ambiance was cozy, and the aroma of sizzling meat filled the air. Our server was an absolute star—helpful, attentive, and skilled at cooking the meat to perfection. They made sure our dining experience was extraordinary.From the savory garlic flavor to the sweet honey soy, every slice of pork belly transported me back to those bustling Korean barbecue joints. The nostalgia was real, and I couldn’t help but smile between bites.Whether you’re a seasoned Korean food enthusiast or a curious newcomer, Palsaik is a must-visit. The flavors, the service, and the memories—it’s all there. I’m already planning my next visit because, honestly, where else can you find such a delightful pork belly feast?“

“Hey, just wanted to give a shout out and a recommendation for all of you folks out there. For Easter Sunday I ordered the family pack, which came with three meats two sides, came with a full rack of ribs, a bunch of huge, hot links, and an ample portion of brisket, I got the potato salad and baked beans. The baked beans had brisket in the beans very flavorful. This was a great value was enough to feed six people with leftovers so you may want to check this out, great party pack!. As always, everything fresh, well presented and tasty do yourself a favor.“

“came here with my lolo for lunch, and we both left pleasantly surprised! the interior is nice and spacious, and it's comfortable to dine in. we ended up ordering it for takeout, but the cashier was very friendly and entertained us during our wait. the chicken inasal was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were amazing in comparison to other filipino takeout spots in the area. i'd recommend this spot to anyone seeking all around good filipino food. i'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“We've been coming here for many years. The go-to order for us is the Ox-tongue, Slightly Salted with Green Onions. Other good choices are the Skirt Steak, Liver, Garlic. Be warned it does tend to get smokey inside, so you'll come out smelling like bbq. Plenty of parking in the lot. Reservations help on weekends.“

“After visiting a VW show in Long Beach and showing homes in the South Bay we wanted some genuine Filipino food and this smaller restaurant was rated as one of the best... for a good reason. Michelle is an awesome host, very talkative and informative. My mother-in-law was born and raised in Pampanga and the roots of the restaurant are Pampangan as well. Sisig and Silog were very nice, halo halo a welcome palette cleanser. Parking was not difficult, even though we arrived at around 1pm on a Saturday. 10/10, highly recommended!“

“There are vents that go pretty low so you don't get as much smoke smell on your clothes after the meal.Wait time was good (as a walk-in on Sat night ~8pm).The bonchon selection is quite good - the mat kimchi is fresh but still has the fermentation I expect of good kimchi. Not going to review each one, there was a wide selection and refills on all of them.We got the beef combo, with boneless short ribs. The boneless short ribs were my favorite. They do come by to flip your meat (but don't hover over your shoulder).Jazz started off our service but every waiter was friendly and went out of their way to help! I left a good tip for that.Parking: The parking can be limited because there are so many good food places in the same plaza.“

“Truly excellent yakiniku in the heart of Gardena. Legit A5 wagyu, American wagyu, dinner sets they even have oxtail soup, egg soup, great service, perfect seasoning. It costs a grip but it really is worth it. Authentic Japanese Yakiniku. You need to come here.“

“We try to grab a delicious meal here at least once a month. The picanha is delicious and you will be satisfied with all the other cuts, there is something for everyone, no seafood though. Salad buffet has a great variety and they serve feijoada (black bean stew) daily. The service is superb and I enjoy how the tables are not too close to each other and allows for nice conversations. My son always enjoy the ice cream w chocolate fudge for dessert.“

“The ambiance and servers were so kind and humorous, the food was absolutely bomb too!! Overall amazing experience as it was my first time at a K-BBQ, and I came with my best friend, her mom, and my sister. Loved this place and hope to come back soon!“

“I lived in S Korea for two years and lived for my next meal in that beautiful country. Eating at Hwang's was like being back in Korea. if you have never had Korean food, this is the place for you to start. If you love Korean food this is one of your best choices.“

“THE PLACE TO GO AND THE PLACE TO BE!!!We have been visting this place since my wife was pregnant with our beautiful son. Now he is a 5 year old boy who says this restaurant is his absolute favorite restaurant!Definitely try to avoid busy times so that you don’t have to wait!For the first time visitors, this is a no ordinary K-BBQ. Haksan specializes in intestine BBQ. If you never had it, you might feel strange about doing a bbq with intestine. Intestine BBQ is in fact one of the most popular dish in Korea.There are a few well-known intestine BBQ places in Los Angeles county. But I can definitely and proudly can tell you that Haksan is THE best place of all. Their meat quality is beyond expectations even for Koreans from Korea. The amount of food is quite big but very affordable (especially in this terrible economy, fulfilling good quality food with affordable pricing is a gem that you cannot avoid).Customer Service here is phenomenal. The owner lady of this restaurant is caring enough to say hello to every customers, and would even like to talk to you if you wish to ask any quesitons about anything. The most impressive thing is that they pre-cook everything so that you can eat almost right away (except for some meat, they do tell you that you should wait and cook a bit more and then eat).Environment is lively but not loud at all. One of downsides of many korean bbq places is that their music is too loud. Haksan does play music but not loud that it's comfortable.If you go to a Korean restaurant, or any asian restaurant for that matter, the first thing you want to look for is "how many of their own people are visiting" and "how many of older people of their own people are visiting." During busy weekend dinner time, this place is thriving with all ages and ethic groups. In fact, it's very fun just to be there because how happy people are eating there. It's just positive vibe overall!Remember that time when BTS said that one intestine BBQ in k-town is the best. I want them to come to Haksan and see it for themselves.LOVE THIS PLACE and will continue to visit here as long as we can!“

“Lovely, polite service, absolutely delicious chicken - We ordered the Golden Original which has this light, crispy, flakey coating that is amazing (husband polished it off), and the Secret Sauce which was equally amazing - I had to hide my left overs in the fridge and i ate it cold, and it was still crunchy and delish! the chicken is perfectly tender and juicy. This aint fast food so it takes a few minutes to prepare, boy was it worth it! Can't wait to try the other offerings. It's small, I think most people get the food to go, but it's a very clean place. If I had to give them advise, it's that it's hard to tell by looking in the window whether they are open.“

“This is a no nonsense local restaurant. The smell as you walk in is unbelievably inviting. Smells like real, home cooked BBQ. I ordered the Momona Combo Plate since it’s my first time trying out this place. That combo has BBQ Chicken, Kalbi and Beef ribs. I highly recommend you give this place a try. Your taste buds, your tummy and your wallet will thank you. Also you might try calling in your order ahead of time to avoid a wait as food is made to order.“

“Wow what an amazing meal! This place a delightful, bare bones cook your own fine meat to your precise liking. Excellent customer service and soju and sake. We came here for a birthday, and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I grew up in the Philippines and move here in the US when I was 12 yrs old, so coming to this spot is pretty nostalgic for me. I love the food first off and the price. I love the atmosphere and bring back memories of being home with my family. Everyone is chill friendly, and they even have karaoke, which I also love.“

“Outstanding professional staff. Both staff servers were courteous, responsive, and really worked to satisfy all customer needs. Food preparation, display, and quality were exceptional. Open fire cooking is enjoyable and we left with full stomachs and are definitely looking forward to a return. BEST PART, it was our Anniversary dinner - what a way to make for a pleasant memory! Thank you to the entire staff.“

“Definitely worth getting! Love the flavor , the brisket was absolutely the best I EVER had. The pulled pork was on point , Mac&cheese , potato salad , beans all had flavor and richness unlike others. Hats off to the bbq master. On another side I don't recommend the chicken it's very basic. Especially next to the colossal tastes the other meats bring to the table.“

“5 stars! Everything about this restaurant is the best! The service was fast and efficient. The meat melted in our mouths. The quantity of food served was awesome! We highly recommend it! We ordered the beef tasting menu and couldn't be happier!“

“Lee's tofu is a small Korean restaurant in Gardena. It is located in a plaza with other restaurants so parking can be a little difficult depending on the day or at night time, however parking is free and for an unlimited amount of time. This restaurant is small but the servers are very friendly. They also have a lot of banchan or sides and are more than happy to give extra. I love getting bibimbap on the hot stone, it is my absolute favorite. I will definitely keep coming back.“

“The location is small but it was an amazing experience. The workers were all super tentative I didn't get a chance to call them over because they came as soon as they saw us slowing down on food. Everything was delicious I highly recommend for a date bight or a nice quiet dinner with a friend“

“Had recently visited New Orleans and needed something in the SoCal area to scratch that itch. Had the seafood gumbo and a shrimp po'boy with mac and cheese. The owner was lovely and incredibly nice. Food did take a bit of time but so worth it. The shrimp in the po'boy was well seasoned and had amazing flavor. The gumbo was phenomenal as well, packed with everything you'd expect giving you a nice warm fuzzy feeling after eating it. Mac and cheese was great too, rich in flavor. Will drive up from OC to eat here again soon.“

“Driven by this place so many times I decided to stop today. My son is a fan of beef jerky and was happy they had samples. He tried a few but decided on the one in the picture. Service is friendly and welcoming. My son must of really liked his beef jerky because it was gone shortly after we got home.“

“?? CROATIA (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - When you see the large roof-mounted rooster crowing over Pacific Avenue in San Pedro, you know you have arrived at the right place. What began as a poultry butcher in 1922 (yes, 102 years ago!) became more of a fast food restaurant in the 1950’s and 1960’s when they changed locations twice. This gave the opportunity for the Croatian immigrant owners to sneak some foods from back home onto the menu.“

“Thanks to the guys at Anytime Hawaiian for a great local dinner. We were craving some local food and found Anytime Hawaiian right across the Disneyland bus depot on Harbor. Great guys and great food. Thank you. We will definitely be back again. Aloha“

“Don’t get it twisted every L & L Hawaiian is not the same. This is the only one that cooks the curry shrimp right. It’s a hit 10 out of 10 every time. It’s uinder great management. The macaroni in the dinner plate is so good I’ve ordered more. It it's good hot and cold. You should visit. When you do tell them Omar sent you.“

“Honestly this is the second time I've ordered from here and tried other menu items Get here asap for a delicious meal I think everything on this menu is worth a try . Staff is pleasant and prompt. Price point DOES NOT make you feel like it's an armed robbery. Portions are filling. Let's talk about those backed though Get yourself a couple of serving because you're not gonna wanna share yours. Restaurant is clean ambiance is quick casual.“

“Anything walking distance from my house will get a try out of me. The barbecue here is delicious. Very well seasoned and flavorful. The sides were very good. The agua frescas were so good and refreshing also. The service was great! They gave suggestions and explained the menu amazingly. For the price, everything was worth it. One thing I hate is buying barbecue and being disappointed. Daniel's didn't do that at all.“

“I absolutely love this place. The food was delicious and the environment inviting and enjoyable. We have been here a few times and everyone of them has been fantastic. The food is delicious and fun. The bbq style is great for promoting conversation and fun. Highly recommend it!“

“First time being there and we ❤️ it. VERY friendly and lovely family owned restaurants I love that they have an couple's and group menu for one price. They cook the meat in front... and yes the have different selection of meat and huge varieties of sides that come with it. Everything fresh and hot. This will be me and my fiance go to spot for date night. We never had grilled ? and grilled ? before. It was great.“

“Definitely a great place to eat. The staff is not very helpful, you have to spend time waving them down in order to get your drinks filled. The quality of the meats are great, the food is good because you cook it yourself. I can definitely say we had our fair share of food, we went away full. It's a very busy place so if you plan to go make sure you leave time to wait before being seated.“

“Was my first time I have been hearing it on the radio KJLH I passed by it . It was really good because I usually go to LA to get my barbecue all I got was delicious ? rib tips, greens, barbecue baked beans, bread ? off the hook. I have too go back too try the Rest.“

“First time back since the remodel. Prices have gone up. They used to be like $12 a person but now they are $23.99 a person. Food wise it is still delicious and simple. We always get the brisket, beef bulgogi, and beef belly. Easy and simple choice with rice paper. So, if you are around the Gardena area looking for a quick bite and craving kbbq then Furusato might be a good option for you!! #AndrewApproved ????“

“Best BBQ hands down! I have been getting my Que for over 3 years now. So much they know me by name and my order. I'm a no sauce person and a lot of places can't deliver that "wow" effect when it comes to seasoning. But Rowes seasonings is to perfection. All the sides are fire, my favorite is the potato salad. Plates are well portioned, for a great price. And we ain't gonna talk about the Peach Cobbler??. Gotta get there early tho, because by 3 or 4 some food can be sold, that's just how good it is. No cap, I have business I do bi weekly in the area and I never leave without going thru and grabbing a plate. Keep bringing that ? Que Rowe I'm a customer for life!!!“

“Wow! What a hole-in-the-wall, I didn't know what to expect but it blew me away! Very friendly service and the food is incredible. We've tried it twice now and it does not disappoint. We had some Texans in for the weekend and my son wanted to celebrate with BBQ...so we went to the state next door and tried Oklahoma-style! We ordered a family-style combo for 10-12 people, plus a few extra sides, and had amble food left over for days! Everything was delicious, the meats not too fatty (just how I like it!) and the ribs were thick and meaty. Perfect for a crowd and to satisfy your BBQ fix! Ordered online for delivery and they were very communicative about the status of our order. Arrived on time and well-packed for delivery. No beans or sauces spilled here! Highly recommend, we will be back.“
