They have good quality meat at a decent price! They also have delicious side dishes, alot for a bbq place!! Service is always too notch!!!

Beef tongue
Jiyeon K.

I came here twice in this month already! Both time the restaurant was not too much crowded though well organized, and I am sure this place is underrated than it should be. I really enjoyed the meat. It was one of the BEST beef I had in k town. I was so surprised and I had to bring my friends here again. My favorite is their beef tongue which is thinner than other places, make it extra delicious. The workers here are so friendly and nice, not like other bbq places. The owner proudly said that they make all the side dishes with extra effort and YESSSS, they were all delicious and fresh. My friends enjoyed here too and they said they will definitely come back again!

living in ktown, i eat more kbbq more often than i care to. some visitor or someone in the group chat always wants kbbq, and it's an agreeable compromise. deciding on a kbbq joint is a harder question. as a general rule, i don't do AYCE kbbq anymore. i'm old, and my metabolism isn't quite what it used to be, so i'd rather pay for quality of meat than stuff myself on crap. honestly, i want to gatekeep this place, but i also want this place to stay around a long time. they're not hurting for business, but i did notice ample seating here on a saturday night without a wait (yay). it's rare to see mainly korean customers in restaurants these days, which i nostalgically miss. from what i know, they've been around a few years now, fortuitiously staying under the radar. this place used to be gui il bun ji back in the day. it was one of my favorite kbbq points in the 2000s until it started deteriorating and closing. it's under completely different ownership now, but this place now again might be my pick for kbbq overall in ktown. i love the quality of food here. the unmarinated meats are all great quality (the true indicator of a good kbbq place - keep the bulgogi and marinaded crap to yourselves). side dishes are quality here as well. great gyeran jjim (steamed egg), and their dwenjang jjigae is dank. they do not skimp on any quality here. they even give you the more expensive japanese sesame oil, rather than just some sesame flavored fake stuff. everything is authentic. service is also great. i will be back repeatedly. hope they keep up the stellar food quality and service for years to come.

The employees are fast & friendly and the prices are reasonable. You can eat at a reasonable price for family or group gatherings. It's not very tasty and it's not very cheap, but I recommend it as a comfortable restaurant to go to.

Soy bean paste soup that they brought at the end when I reminded them
Blake B.

The food is alright. Considering that I can pay less than $10 more per person and get AYCE (with potentially better quality) at one of the many other nearby kbbq places I won't be coming back :/ on top of that, the service left a lot to be desired sadly. Our server never asked what drinks what drinks we wanted, we never got brought water (until I asked), and what sealed the deal was the soup. Our combo came with a steamed egg and soup. We finished our 4 different kinds of meat, steamed egg, and had to wait for our soup. If you look closely, you can see it still steaming in my photo I took after we finished everything else. I hate to say it but steer elsewhere. It wasn't even very busy or hectic. If you have time to bus other tables you have time to be more attentive.

Beef
Banhan L.

Beef quality was outstanding if you compare with another bbq place in LA And the service is so good too If I have to get them score is 11/10

The quality of the meat was very good. The service was exceptional. The inside was busy but not too loud. I had a good experience.

This is definitely one of the best BBQ spots in LA. I'm torn between this and Moo's...not sure who…read moregets the crown. Probably 1a and 1b. That aside, onto the review... Bludso's brisket is tender and marinated just right. While some briskets are too salty, Bludso's maintains a light and balanced flavor profile, which lets me enjoy the flavor of the beef. However, be warned that some leaner cuts might be a tad bit dry. The pork ribs were also great. although they weren't "fall off the bone" soft, it's still one of the best ones I've had in LA. The sides were also good. They weren't mind blowing but they were definitely comforting. Overall, Bludso's is a great BBQ spot that I would come to again and again. Definitely one of the best in LA. Note: I do have to say that if you're from Texas, you might not be "wow'd". Franklin BBQ in Austin is leagues above both Bludso's and Moo's (first time in my life having brisket melt in my mouth!!). But if you've never left LA, Bludso's will probably be the some of the best BBQ you've had in your life!

It's too too expensive for what you get and you just can't feel the love in the food anymore. Portions are small and most of the menu is meh. The brisket is still solid but not legendary like it was and for like $6 for one thin slice that's half fat? The ribs are also good and maybe the best thing in the menu now. The sides are now mid, might as well be Sysco Cole slaw and the beans are ok. Eve the corn bread doesn't have that homemade taste. This would be two stars except for the service. The service and wait staff were on point and did offer excellent and friendly service. Kevin where are you? Please come back and then maybe I will.

A++ service here. We're definitely going to come back next time we're in the area.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!…read more When the employee lured us in, she said to go to the counter inside and wait for someone to seat us. There were several employees that saw us just standing there, but we still waited there for 5 mins before someone told the girl from outside to take us to our table. We were finally seated. Then guy who told the girl to seat us was just standing around d chit chatting with another employees for about 15 minutes before he even came to our table. He never even introduce himself. He just took our order. Another 20 mins came by before our food was served. OUR FOOD WAS ROOM TEMPERATURE. Short Rib was ok. The macaroni was stale and OLD! It was dry and not fresh! We asked for extra BBQ sauce and that didn't arrive for another 15 mins. We had to wave down another employee to try to get the sauce to us. I wouldn't recommend this place! Horrible service. Didn't even come around to see if we needed anything or if everything was good or not. We came here around 1:30pm on 3/16. The restroom was also out of paper towels and soap from the soda dispenser. Poor quality food! Glad I tried it, so I know to not come back again!

It's a staple in my rotation, and over time I've really gotten to know the people there--especially at the bar. One person who truly stands out is Becca. She's usually one of the first people I see when I go to GCM, She is an absolute delight. because she greets me with a such enthusiasm or a friendly wave and a genuinely beautiful smile. Honestly, it almost makes me feel guilty that I don't come by more often! Recently, I saw a review about an incident involving a customer and one of the people who work here, so I feel compelled to speak up. If you come across any negative review about anyone here at the bar, I can confidently say it does not reflect the people I--and many others--have experienced. In all my visits, I've never once seen her or the staff handle anything with anything less than professionalism and kindness. As a patron, one of the main reasons I keep coming back to Maple Block is because of the people. The staff creates such a welcoming, positive atmosphere, which really stands out--especially in an area where you can occasionally encounter challenging situations. Take any negative reviews with a grain of salt and urge you to go see for yourself!!!! Maple Block has consistently been a great experience for me, and I highly recommend stopping by. 10/10 will come again

I saw a few YouTubers eating food from moo's Craft so knew I had to have it on my list of places to try when visiting socal. My group and I decided to stop here for our lunch before going to universal studios since it was along the way. Parking is pretty confusing for us. They state there's a lot behind the building to park at, but it looks liked you have to pay and we weren't sure which lot. So we just did street parking. We did go around 1:30 pm on a Thursday, so did not have much of an issue with finding street parking. Inside the restaurant, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. There's no wait staff, so you go to the counter and order and once it's ready, they call your name/number and you pick up your tray of food from the counter. We ordered the El trio platter, which comes with 1 lbs of brisket, 1 lbs of pork ribs, 2 sausages (chili relleno and cheddar jalapeno) and 2 sides (which we chose Mac and cheese and red potato salad). We also saw the burgers from YouTube so got 2 of the Thicc burgers to share among everyone. We got a sides of the Texas chili to try. Everything was great. Our group really enjoyed the food and everyone said the BBQ was some of the best they've had. The brisket was really tender and seasoned well. Everything was seasoned well actually. The burger was great. It was soft, great flavor and was just really solid. One of the best burgers I've had. The ribs were everyone's least favorite, but that just means the other food tasted better. Ribs were still good. All the sides were delicious as well. The Texas chili was great, the Mac and cheese was creamy and the potato salad tasted homemade. We could tell it was made in house. The sweet iced tea was refreshing, not overly sweet b Overall, I'll have to come back here to try their desserts and other items. I'll for sure be getting the burger and brisket again.
