This is one of the most “famous” restaurant in LA, so me and my husband wanted to try it out to see if it is good. We had reservation so we didn’t have to wait in line. To be honest, overcrowded, overhyped and overpriced. The tables are really close together, and we (3 people) were sitting in an inside corner, so one of us had to squeeze through other table to reach their seats. A waiter is responsible for like 6 tables, so they were very very busy, they didn’t really have time to ask if we were there before, any recommendations. We actually wanted to try big intestine, but since we are not Koreans we ordered the gopchang combo and thought it would be what we expected. That was our fault, so later we ordered extra big intestine. We also had the marinated short ribs, kimchi stew. I felt like the menu is not very clear, there are steamed egg and 1 type of stew included in our combo, but it wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the menu. Banchan is also mediocre and tbh, sad looking, the variety is not good, and if you want kimchi, you have to ask for it. Short rib was good, well marinated and had a good bite to it, but pretty expensive for the amount of meat we get. The kimchi stew and soft tofu stew (in the combo) was okay, very small size though. Gopchang is not marinated at all?, and it had some mushy texture inside, it felt a bit bitter sometimes so definitely not my favorite. Finally big intestine, we had it in a couple places before and they had pretty good impression to me, but somehow here I felt it was just too fatty. There were also kimchi fried rice in the combo, not too bad, my husband liked it but i thought i was a tad bit salty. The best cut out of the night would be the short ribs, other than that I don’t think it stands up for its name: Ahgassi Gopchang, but might just be my own taste

One of my favorite kbbq restaurants. Obviously with a lot of celebrities the food was going to be good but all the food was fresh, high quality, and worth the price. It is a bit more expensive than other kbbq restaurants but it’s definitely worth it. All the meats were really good so I don’t have a favorite but definitely get the fried rice at the end. The sides are not your “standard” banchan but they are really good so don’t be thrown off. Parking was paid but was fairly easy because it’s a lot inside next to the restaurant. Service was great and overall was great experience. The autographs were also cool and a cool thing to do while waiting for your seat. Definitely worth it.

Finally came to Ahgassi Gopchang on my latest trip to LA. My friends had been raving about it. We got there around 5:30 on a Sunday and only waited maybe 10–15 minutes for a table for 3. Loved looking at all the Kpop groups and celebrity signatures in the meantime. We ordered the large intestine bbq selection for 3 people, and it was SO GOOD. One of the best meals I’ve had recently. So nice that the servers help cook the meat — I would not have known when they were fully cooked. The banchan and sides are also delicious. Loved the steamed egg and cold broth. The intestine is so flavorful, chewy and succulent — barely needed the sauces. Toward the end, servers used the remaining intestines and fat to make fried rice. We were so full at that point, but it was so good. I legitimately can’t wait to plan another trip to LA just to go to Ahgassi again. For 3 people plus soju and including tip, we paid $172 ($57/person).

Ahgassi Gopchang has that celebrity status of a Korean BBQ restaurant and rightly so💯 (apparently, a lot of celebrities have come to this restaurant too ✨). However, be prepared to spend at least $50/person💸 to fully enjoy all the amazing food that they offer. In terms of the wait, it gets really crowded on the weekends. We waited for around 30 minutes for our table (so not too bad) 👌🏼. As for their service, I thought the waiters were a little impatient. It felt like they were constantly rushing us to finish our food, which made the experience less enjoyable. With that said, the bathroom was clean. The food: - Beef Tongue 🐄👅 (10/10): The thickness of the meat was perfect; it wasn't too thin nor thick. They were fresh and juicy! - Pork Belly🐖 (10/10): The distribution of the fats and the fats of the pork belly were immaculate on the serving that we received. They needed a little bit more time to cook (pork meat has to be fully cooked for safety reasons) but it was totally worth it! - Boneless short-rib 🐄(10/10): This was probably our favorite meat of the day! Juicy, thick, tender and flavorful! Totally recommended The only reason that I am not giving a full 5-star is because of their pricing and customer service. Nevertheless, this restaurant is totally recommended 💯🏆!

Been here several times over the years and recently the food quality isn’t as good. The meat tasted rough or unusual so had to dip it in salt more to cover up the flavor. Pork was a little watery too, usually means it’s been frozen a little too long. But overall I do enjoy coming here with friends and having a good time. Servers are attentive and friendly, very quick to get orders and refills in. Atmosphere is loud and welcoming.
