Waited 15 minutes to be seated, then another 20 minutes just to get a grill after ordering immediately. On our first round we ordered 3 meats and only got 2. The beef bulgogi was terrible, it literally fell apart while cooking and tasted bad. Service was straight up rude. When we asked for water and more sides, the staff rolled their eyes at us. Completely unprofessional. I live in Koreatown and eat KBBQ often. This is the worst KBBQ experience I’ve had. Bad food, bad service, zero hospitality. Not worth your time or money.

One of my favorite spots when I’m craving KBBQ! This place in K-Town is hands-down the best, in my opinion. The restaurant has a parking lot with plenty of spaces, honestly a must in LA. The service is always excellent when I come here. We're seated right away, and the sides and meats come out super fast. I love that they provide a pitcher of water at the table, so I can refill my drink anytime. The two servers were constantly checking on us to see if we needed more meat, napkins, sides, or anything else. With our choice of Menu C, they brought out the steamed egg and potato pancake automatically — like they were reading my mind before I even asked lol. The sides are amazing. Whoever makes the kimchi here knows what they’re doing. The marinated shrimp come peeled and butterflied, which makes grilling and eating so much easier. Overall, it was a great dining experience with high-quality food and service. I’ll definitely be back!

4.5 stars but pretty dang close. My friend took our church staff out for an appreciation meal and we went to town on this poor cow. He splurged and got us menu D so from the beginning, we went w all the quality meat instead of starting w the cha-dol. don’t get me wrong, when I normally get the lower priced menu A or B, I’m all about the cha-dol but w menu D, it’s all about the ggot-sal (literally flower meat) and dihng shim and galbi. Dang, I needed a second stomach man. So grub!!!! I’m def a moo-Sam guy over the dduk-sam. Salad is good. Everything is good but the menu D premium meats are legit fantastic. Thx yerim. U guys rock.

**UPDATE** My first review was from my 1st time here, on 04/18/2021. We came here again for mother's day and today for dinner. For mother's day was very quiet and today, even more. And each and every time their customer service is more disappointing. For mother's day, I didn't want to say much because my husband and kids decided to bring me here and I didn't want to ruin the day for all of us, but they noticed that it took them about 25 minutes to bring our meats. They served others that came after us, they forgot about us despite we respectfully asked them several times where was our food. My husband said just to make me feel better. And today, we decided to give it another chance. We got there early, at around 5pm, it was just us, and 3 other families that were already eating. And again...this time we invited a friend with us so it was a party of 5. They brought the sides very fast but again, over 25 minutes waiting for the meats. Time went by fast because we were having a good conversation but my kids were getting desperate, they were very hungry and that's when I realized that 25 minutes had passed. I asked the waiter and he said that they were preparing the meats, took them 5 more minutes. I had to ask 3 times for the rice and for the steamed egg and pancakes and when they brought them, they brought only one egg and one pancake for the 5 of us. I had to ask again, TWICE, for more eggs and pancakes and they brought again, only one of each. I'm including AYCE prices as of today, April 18th, 2021. I went with my husband and 2 kids. We've been to other 2 ayce korean bbq restaurants but this is the best so far. We didn't have to wait at all, as long as we got seated, the waiter asked what kind of meats we wanted. We can choose up to 4 meats at a time. By the way, we chose the one of $29.99 per person, the variety is wider. We order beef brisket, bulgogi, prime ribs and pork belly. They brought the meats very fast and the sides as well. The portions of meat are huge! Specifically the bulgogi was A LOT! The sides were all delicious, the variety of the sides was smaller than the other 2 Korean bbq restaurants we've been at but the quality of the meats here is top notch! Right after we order our second round of meats, we realized that we were almost full 😥 too late IMO but anyway, we managed to eat it and still enjoy it. They have potato pancakes as a side dish and they're good. The only thing that I didn't like much is the fact that I asked the servers to bring me more of one of the sauces (the one in the middle of the read thing) because it was sooo good but none of the 3 I asked for brought it. I don't know if they were very busy but I didn't get my extra sauce. Still 5 stars deserving. Also, the kimchy from the other 2 places feels a bit bitter so I don't eat much of it but this kimchy tastes different and it's very good too. My son loved the noodles, and we all loved the marinated cucumbers. I will definitely recommend this place and for sure we're coming back soon. There's plenty of parking as well. Just don't try calling their phone number, at least today, their phone sounded disconnected.

This place is great! Quality of meat is really good, even if it wasn't AYCE. Easy free parking in the lot in front of it. Service is bare minimal, will have to ask for everything and a little slow on busy nights, but the food is well worth the visit. Especially liked the beef fingers, LA short rib, beef belly, tongue, and pork cheeks. Pretty good side dishes.
