    Chain was amazing, this is the second time we ate with him serving and he took care of us just as great as it was the first time! Super friendly and attentive to us

    brisket fried rice
    Lauren H.

    Maybe we got the lucky treatment but this is the first KBBQ restaurant I've been to where the staff will grill the meat for you?! It was an unexpected surprise and my friends and I were helped by different servers. They were very prompt on bringing out the AYCE meat, but we also ordered the brisket fried rice and there was an extra long delay between having our oil, wok set up and the rice, brisket being delivered to our table/being cooked. It was understandable since there were several other tables, but at that point we did wish we had the option to cook the food ourselves. For a Sunday night, there was no wait which was fantastic!

    My first time at this location. We usually go to Rowland Heights locations. They offer few different combos and you can't really go wrong with any of it. Combo small is good for party of 2-3. We had 3 people and also ordered a side of seafood pancake! We left super full. Service and food are both excellent here! We always leave with a happy tummy!

    We got the Hodong's combo and a seafood pancake for 3 people. The Hodong combo is a good portion for 2-3 people. Seafood pancake flavor was good, but could have included more seafood, and cooked to a bit more crispy. We had a few servers come by and help cook our meat. Chris was one of servers and was very attentive. It was lively on a weekend night, and full of energy in the restaurant. Ventilation was very adequate for a kbbq restaurant!

    Temple city baekjeong might be my favorite location. The food came in fast and our server was so quick to make sure it doesn't get burnt. The ambiance is also very spread out so you don't feel claustrophobic. Joey is the man and he is kept is in the know with what to order! Please come visit this location because this location is beyond worth it!

    Current running special as of 05/30/26 -- BOGO Mocktails! This Korean BBQ restaurant is a great spot for a fun, interactive dining experience. The meats are fresh and well-marinated which come out tender and flavorful on the grill. The variety of side dishes adds a nice balance to the meal, and everything is constantly refilled. Service is attentive, especially when helping with grilling or refills. Overall, it's a solid place if you're looking for good food, a social vibe, and a hands-on dining experience.

    One thing I really appreciate is that the servers cook the meat for you, which makes the whole experience so much more pleasant -- you can just relax, eat, and enjoy chatting with friends instead of worrying about the grill. We went on a Thursday around 6 PM and there was a bit of a line, but by 7:30 PM it was almost empty. So for weekdays, if you don't have a reservation and don't want to wait, coming after 7 PM may be a good idea. Not sure about weekends, but weekday timing definitely matters. Our favorite meat was the marinated short rib -- so juicy and flavorful, almost wagyu-like, with that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Definitely the highlight of the meal for us. Great food, easy experience, lively atmosphere, and perfect for a casual dinner with friends.

    One of the best Korean BBQ restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley! The quality of the meat was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and well-marbled. The staff cooked everything perfectly and were attentive throughout the meal, making sure our grill was changed regularly and our side dishes were always refilled. The banchan, steamed egg, and kimchi were all delicious, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. Even though it can get busy, the food and service are definitely worth the wait. If you're looking for authentic Korean BBQ with premium meats and great service, I highly recommend Baekjeong Temple City. I'll definitely be coming back!

    beef tartar
    Johnny Q.

    Vincent helped us cook the meat to perfection and was on top of service. We got the large marinated beef and small beef for a group of 7 and it was comfortable. Got seated fairly quickly on a friday evening. Large variety of side dishes brought out fresh. Jeff was very enthusiastic and helpful with getting us more side dishes and napkins. Would definitely come again. Service was 10/10 The beef tartar had an off taste/smell to it but if you could overlook that it wasn't too bad with pears and the egg yolk. I've had better beef tartar elsewhere. (7/10)

    I like getting their Hodong's favorite combo since it comes with both beef and pork. I like how there are two different sizes. The small is good for 2-3 people and a large would be good for a party of 4+. I like how they include cold tofu as one of their side dishes as a lot of kbbq places. They also give big pieces of kimchi compared to other places I go to which I like. The meat is good quality and I really like their pancakes. Their combo comes with your choice of soybean or kimchi stew. Their stews are always too salty for me. I always have to add water to it so it's more bearable to eat. They are usually very busy so service isn't the best. Parking is also hard to find especially on a Friday and Saturday night since they share the parking lot with Meet Fresh, Planet Fitness, etc. I highly suggest making a reservation during the weekend dinner so you don't have to wait too long. They currently have a bogo drink special.

    This kbbq place delivers an authentic Korean dining experience especially for meat lovers. The atmosphere is energetic and often bustling, which adds to the fun but can mean longer wait times during peak hours. The parkings during the weekend can be hectic since they do share the plaza with many other stores and also the gym. They cook the meat for you so it's not a kbbq place where you cook the meat yourself so if you like that, then this place might not be for you. The meat is pretty good quality and I like how they have combo so that you can try different types of meat with a discounted price. I also like how they include steam eggs and corn cheese.

    Bella S.

    Gave them a 2nd chance and it's still mediocre. Service was not good; the waiter in the red shirt had an attitude and made us feel rushed with our dining experience. He also forgot to bring our drinks requiring us to remind them. Later, we had a different staff (Chris), who was much nicer and pleasant to deal with. He cooked our meat at a slower pace and did not make us feel rushed. Meat quality was so-so; definitely had better. They cook the meat for you, which is not my preference as I prefer cooking it myself and at my pace. It is annoying that they cook the entire meat dish all at once almost forcing you to eat all of it before cooking the next meat dish. I like to eat a variety of cuts at different times and again, more at my own pace, so this style of cooking is really not for me. A lot of their meats are flavorless. It's fully dependent on the dipping sauce and salt.

    Banchans

    I love coming to this place for KBBQ. There are different types of meats to choose from as well as combo deals. They have friend service & they are very attentive. The ambiance is modern & you get to hear the latest K-POP hits. What I like about this KBBQ is with the good ventilation you don't come out smelling like KBBQ. This is my favorite KBBQ in the SGV and it's always a treat to come here.

    Hi there, when I check in at the counter with the hostess, can I add add a note that I may take longer than 10 minutes to walk back to the restaurant when I get the text notification ? I don't want to loose my turn again. Much appreciated. Mitchel.

    Since they use Yelp waitlist, I would suggest checking the Yelp app to see your position in line so you can plan accordingly. The host wouldn't know how long to wait if you say "longer than 10 minutes". Is that 15 minutes or 20 minutes or did you…

    No it isn't. You can order by the plate or combo. A small beef combo is $66.00 easily feeds 2 people maybe even 3. Includes 3 beef choices, a soup, and endless banchan (side dishes). The quality is higher than ayce and for someone who eats a lot of…

It was my first time here and I opted for all kitchen cooked. We ordered grilled LA galbi and grilled beef bulgogi which were each served on a hot cast iron. They were both really really flavorful and super tender. We also tried the omelette rice and their version of bibimbap. The omelette rice was served with a fried rice inside and topped with a red sauce. It was good but huge for 2 people. The bibimbap was not what I am accustomed to. Instead of a hot stone pot in which the rice cooks and crisps, it was more like a vegetable salad with meat and a fried egg. The rice is served on the side. Although it's not what I prefer it was still tasty and super fresh. This is a great summer version. The price was reasonable for what we ate. Service was very friendly. I would definitely return.

The broth had a rich, comforting flavor, and one thing I really appreciated was that it came already seasoned. Unlike many seolleongtang restaurants where you have to adjust the salt yourself, this one was ready to enjoy right away while still tasting balanced and not overly salty. The portions were satisfying, making it a great lunch option without breaking the bank. If you're looking for an affordable, comforting Korean meal, especially during lunch hours, Hodori BBQ is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back to try more of their menu and take advantage of the lunch specials again!

In the way of ambience, they have a lot of license plates, freeway type signs and other signage throughout the facility. It is very neat and clean and the decor is actually very nice.!

A decent spot that my partner and I like whenever we're feeling some skewers vibes. I find myself to be a huge fan of their cucumber salad. Yes, even for a skewer place, they can be very delicious as a compliment to the savory skewers. It's nice to have that sweeter taste to offset the saltiness of all the other items. Interior is nice but can be quite hectic. Tons of tables that fit all sizes of groups, staff is quick but sometimes they do feel like they're understaffed. Service is not really a thing here, most like a food shop stand but interior. They clean tables, assign seating, bring you your food and that's basically it. Paying can be confusing but most of the time you can pay on your phone but it's recommended to pay where the register is, quick and easy. There's so many food options that you might find yourself scrolling for awhile. One feature I like is that their ordering system is easy. Scan a QR code and you can just order on your phone. Staff is moderately quick so that's a plus. If you're with a group, I recommend ordering on a designated phone to prevent any confusion or extra charges, etc. Skewers wise, my favorite goes to the beef, lamb, and the squid sticks. All are seasoned well but can be a bit salty. Most of the food here is spicy unless you ask for it so prepare for that. There's also a side/condiments bar that's filled with snacks that you can munch on while you're waiting for your food free of charge, however it's pretty filling. Overall, a decent spot that's great for a late night snack. Not the best but not the worse either when it comes to service. Food is great and even better for people who can handle spice well. Will definitely be back in the future.
