Sustenance Saturday led me to BBQ+Rice. House made pickles: I felt like they could have been marinated a bit longer. 5/10 Fried Chicken Dumplings: good, but why only 2? I think an order should be at least 4. 6/10 Korean Fried Chicken: not crispy at all. Overly sauced which made them soggy. Good sweet & spicy flavor. 7/10 Bulgolgi rice bowl: good size portion, decent amount of meat. The bulgolgi was a bit dry, but good flavor. I ended up pouring my pickle juice and dumpling dip on the bowl. 7/10 Overall rating is 7/10. The place was empty, I have a feeling they do most of their business either delivery or to go. Would I go back? Sure. Not high on my priority list, but I would like to try the spicy chicken bowl. Bonus: bowls are a good size portion for the price. Bogus: only two dumplings per order is weak. I would like to see some kind of noodle on the menu as an option for a base. read more

BBQ + Rice is a solid and satisfying pick for a quick, affordable meal in West LA. You won't find a better deal. The Spicy Chicken ($11.50) boasts 24-hour sautéed Gochujang marinated chicken, complemented by house-made cucumber pickles, bok choy, cabbage, bell peppers, and diced onions, all topped with roasted sesame seeds and green onions. It really hit the spot for a late lunch with a friend and filled me up. Skip the long lines at the place a few doors down and come here instead. It's mainly a take-out spot with limited seating, but there is a bathroom for customers. Come check out this spot for lunch if you work or live nearby. read more

Came on a Sunday evening and parking lot was petite (aka small). Found park and ordered the Bulgogi Bowl, Spicy Chicken Bowl, and the Tofu and Veggies bowl. Bulgogi bowl was a safe option but tasted mediocre to me. Nothing special. Spicy Chicken Bowl was not as spicy but it had more flavor than the Bulgogi nor Tofu. Tofu and Veggies felt hearty but almost the same taste as the Bulgogi; perhaps the same sauce. Overall, service was quick. Portion sizes are good; we had 1/4th leftovers per bowl. Decent spot if you're looking for a quick pick me up or just rice and meat. read more

Bulgogi (Beef) I came here the other day for lunch, and it was tasty. Drinks are in cans and bottles, $2.20 a drink, food and drink are reasonable. Parking sucks! There is indoor seating, but i got mine to go. More of a take out type of spot. They have homemade kimchi. The food is well seasoned and not over sauced. The veggies and meat were cooked perfectly. The manager or owner was very nice. If you are a.saucy type of person... then I would order extra sauce on the side. read more

Cheap and convenient Asian rice bowl spot in West LA! I ordered takeout from here and the experience was decent. I ordered online through their website. However, I wasn't sent a confirmation email which made me anxious since I didn't have a receipt to present to redeem the meal. However, when I visited I just stated my name and I got my order easily. I ordered the Spicy Mayo Chicken rice bowl and it was good. I was surprised since it was actually spicy (most fusion places like this say it's spicy but it turns out to be mild) which I enjoyed. The chicken texture and quality is like the orange chicken you'd get at a Chinese takeout place. It was comforting but nothing special. I wish there was more mayo sauce. It came with mixed greens and pickles which was a nice and fresh contrast to the heavy saucy fried chicken and rice. The white rice was cooked well and was not too mushy or dry. The bowl was pretty filling and was only $12 which is a steal in today's economy. It reminds me of the meals I would purchase in college. They have a parking lot shared with other businesses which could get full, but getting a spot shouldn't be too hard. The interior looked like a standard casual eats place. My food was packaged well and there were no spills. Overall, a decent Asian fusion eats place. I would eat here again if I needed something filling and cheap. read more

We shared the Spock sweet chicken. Going back for that though everything was good the people were very nice and the joint was clean yet busy with a steady stream of customers. read more

Review as a Korean: I don't like K-food in K-town in general, but this place was different. The bowl was not saucy, not sweet which is normal Korean people eat. The price/quality/portion ratio was right on spot. I recommend here. read more

So have you ever had the experience of randomly choosing a place and then being pleasantly surprised with how good it turns out to be? I was starving after a long day of work and hesitantly chose this place. I definitely had a few doubts as I was waiting. But then the food came out and I was really blown away with how flavorful it was. I got the Bulgogi bowl and the sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken. Both were awesome and I would definitely order both again. I wish they had a larger size of the sweet and spicy chicken because that was super tasty. Although it looks unassuming hole in the wall in the middle of a shopping center near West Hollywood, the product is definitely higher quality than the surroundings. The ratings of this restaurant are not a fluke. The food is good. Five stars. read more

The Spicy Chicken bowl was incredibly seasoned and was a generous portion for $11.50. It's a steal considering how much food you're getting in West LA. Super glad this spot is nearby my work to make a convenient stop for lunch given that my food was ready in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend! read more

This is my third time ordering from BBQ + Rice through DoorDash, and it has consistently been a solid choice. The bowls are always generously portioned, filling, and never skimped on, definitely a good value for the price. I love adding a little sriracha on top and pairing it with cabbage, which makes the perfect combo. Their homemade kimchi is especially delicious and really elevates the meal. The only thing I'm not a big fan of are the pickles--out of three times, one order was great, but the other two tasted rubbery with an off flavor. I think cabbage would be a better side option to complement the bowls. I made my own and put it on top, it's just what it needs. They should add it for a side dish. Overall, this is one of my go-to spots when I want something flavorful, hearty, and satisfying. Highly recommend the bowls--just not the pickles. read more

I am so happy to see they opened in West LA. I had been to the store on Venice by Beethoven more than a year ago. I ordered a beef bowl -- don't remember if it was bulgogi. Maybe -- and it was delicious and on a bed of fluffy hot rice. I have been meaning to go back, and now there is one on Santa Monica Boulevard. Congratulations to the owner. He puts his heart into the dishes, and it shows. read more

If you're a fan of Korean BBQ but crave something that's both convenient and delicious, BQQ + Rice is the hidden gem you didn't know you needed in your life. I'm all about bold flavors and comfort food, and their Bulgogi Beef Bowl delivers on both fronts! First off, the bulgogi itself is absolutely chef's kiss--tender, marinated beef with that perfect balance of sweet and savory. You can tell they take their time with the marination, because the flavors just melt into the meat with every bite. The rice? Perfect. Fluffy, sticky, and the perfect base to soak up all those juicy beef drippings. It's not clumpy, and it doesn't get soggy, which I really appreciate. But wait--there's more! The dish is topped with an array of fresh garnishes: crunchy pickled veggies that add just the right amount of tang, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds that elevate the whole thing. The portion size is generous, and I walked away feeling full but not overly stuffed. The atmosphere inside BQQ + Rice is casual and welcoming. It's the kind of place you can swing by for a quick bite. read more

The food is always great and reliable here! The meat is always cooked fresh and the sauce is always just right. The pickles also help with any flavor fatigue that could occur. It's a great balanced meal I can eat in my lunch time that doesn't make me drowsy after. The service is fast, kind, and reliable everytime. It's a great comfortable place to stop by or pick up food from! (P.S. music taste is great here) read more

The restaurant is fairly non-descript from the outside, but once you go inside you are met with the amazing smells of the food, the sound of it actively being cooked, and the friendly and inviting people who work there. I'm a creature of habit who has also reduced my meat consumption, so I always order either the Wok Fried Tofu Bowl or the Spicey Chicken Bowl with tofu. I always ask for extra veggies and they are kind enough to accommodate the request. The food is delicious. It takes about 10 minutes from the time you order, but everything in the bowl is fresh from the rice to the veggies to whatever protein you prefer. When I say hot, I mean burning my tongue hot. Did I say the food is fresh? LOL! The sauces are delicious, and not over bearing allowing you to enjoy everything in the bowl. The rice is well made and never too al dente and it sticks together in the best possible way. Is it a chain? Yes! Is the food delicious and obviously made with great thought and care? Yes! Would I go there again? Well, I go there twice a week sometimes...that's a yes! Highly recommend! Seriously! read more

For casual carry out it can't be beat. Well priced, generous serving, delicious bulgogi bowl. Wish they gave you some gochujang, it is missing the spicy flavor. But all in all a good value. I pick up lunch for my employees and they love it. read more

Has become my fav lunch to order. ITS SO GOOD! The chicken and beef bowls are so good. ive had their dumplings, kimchi and pickles all amazing! love this place. read more

BBQ + Rice is the best value meal in west LA. I have gotten almost all of their dishes, and all I can say is the portions are generous and the flavors are good. When they say spicy they mean spicy! My favorite is the black pepper chicken which has some veggies (for the health) and a little pepper kick that hits at the back of your throat. Nice big parking lot for easy parking if you are dining in. read more

The food is really bad. The spicy pork is flavorless and the bulgogi has no real beefy quality to it, it's so thin and flimsy. If you order extra protein there's no real meat because all the bulgogi is additionally cut with vegetable stir fry. I paid for double protein $12 for both spicy pork and bulgogi but the bowl was more vegetable and rice than any protein. read more

Excellent food quality, good portions and tasty By the way the Korean canned drinks are also awesome read more

Sometimes you just get lucky and find a gem in a hole in the wall. That's what I found here. By the look from outside, I did not expect much. The place is new, clean, bright and light. We placed an order for pick up, went in and were greeted with a Big smiling face. That meant a lot. Food was ready for pick up, and I'd say surprisingly pretty. Not only pretty, but very tasty. Chicken was moist and well cooked. The dish was well seasoned and balanced. I did not feel like adding any kind of sauce or spices to it as it was not needed. I'd say price as it is today was very reasonable. It's something I would have as main dish, or do a few things for a small gathering and snack on it. I do hope they offer some sort of Salad dish, in addition to the current bowl they now have listed. But we will certainly be back. read more

Delicious food and good service! It does get pretty busy lunch time! I usually call to order ahead.

Well, located in a local strip mall, I had read that this place was a hidden gem for a simple, reasonably priced and delicious lunch option. Honestly, the only meal I seem to go out for is lunch these days. Prices have definitely gotten way too expensive for dining out for supper so, I am always interested in new places that have lunch offerings under $15. Although, there is zero ambience and no decor, this establishment serves yummy options. I had a bulgogi salad and my friend had the bulgogi with rice ... for those who don't know this dish it is thinly sliced marinated beef. Both the meals were delicious and the portions were plentiful! I love Korean food and this place did not disappoint. However, next time and there definitely will be a next time I will go spicier and more likely do a takeout versus eating there. Although the menu is limited, I found other options I want to try. Parking lot is pretty full, but be patient ... ( I say that a lot ;)))! ) Definitely recommend and again, it is a local small business and I support our community 100% The best part is you don't go away hungry and usually you have leftovers! read more

Awesome restaurant! Came across this gem of a restaurant after craving a really good lunch. Parking is easy since it's located in a small shopping mall. The staff was super nice since I had questions on the menu items which they were happy to answer. I ended up ordering the pepper chicken which I was told is the second most popular dish after the bulgogi. My food came out super fast and tasted delicious and fresh. I was super happy and definitely plan to come back! There's ample tables to sit at and can hold a number of people! read more

BBQ + Rice, conveniently located at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and Sepulveda by UCLA, delivered a satisfying and flavorful dining experience that I'd gladly return for. I ordered the Bulgogi Beef Rice bowl for $12.50 along with a side of Korean Fried Chicken $6.25, and both dishes exceeded expectations. The bulgogi featured tender, deeply savory beef that's been marinated for 14 hours, bringing out a rich, slightly sweet flavor that paired perfectly with the sautéed onions, cabbage, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms. Everything was beautifully layered over steamed rice and finished with roasted sesame seeds, fresh green onions, and crisp house made cucumber pickles that added a refreshing contrast. The Korean Fried Chicken was equally impressive crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, making it the perfect complement to the bowl. Can't believe they also have my favorite Korean Drink Sac Sac! What really elevated the experience, though, was the amazing service from Jose, who was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right. Overall, a fantastic spot for a quick yet high quality Korean inspired rice bowls and salads. read more

If you want a delicious and flavorful rice bowl, we tried the Black Pepper Chicken bowl ($11) and it was very flavorful. We also tried the Bulgogi Beef bowl ($12) and thought it was delicious. The portion is also good for the price and comes with a few pickled cucumbers. They also prepare it fresh after you order it, so understand that there is a wait for your food... but it is fresh and hot because of that. You can also buy a side of kimchi or more pickled cucumbers for an additional $3. In addition, you can double the protein for $6 if you are extra hungry. Worth trying! read more

I ordered the Spicy Mayo Chicken. I enjoyed it a lot as the flavor was great, but after I finished the chicken, the rice underneath was almost too spicy to eat. Maybe I'm just weak and can't handle spice, but it definitely had some kick to it! The service was great as my food was made quickly and fresh right in front of me. Ambiance was okay, it's not the greatest location but it was a nice experience overall. read more

Stumbled across this BBQ spot and we're thoroughly impressed! If you're looking for Korean bbq (meat + flavors) but don't want the food coma, the traffic, and the $$$$, look no more.
