Brother BBQ deserve more hype! 5-star Korean bbq restaurant in Koreatown! The quality of meat and banchan for ayce here at Brothers is one of the best in Ktown. Service is great and attentive, with a lively atmosphere. The lunch special is really great for the price as well I only have pictures of the lunch special, but their ayce dinner is one of the best in Ktown. Highly recommend! read more

I've had Brothers BBQ on my list for a while, and I came with a friend to have their ~$50 / pp AYCE. Parking was fairly easy around the block and free on Sunday. Waiting to be sat was probably the longest wait I've experienced for a nearly empty dining area. Perhaps it was because of not having enough staff at the time. Once we were sat, it took about 10 minutes before actual service. We mainly ordered brisket, beef belly, LA Galbi, and veggies from the menu, since we weren't fans of pork. The brisket and beef belly were tasty; we devoured those so fast those sauce containers needed a refill within 15 minutes. The most disappointing part was unfortunately the LA Galbi, which felt like eating jars of sugar. Galbi should be a bit sweet, but maybe not candy sweet - pretty much impossible to enjoy. Each bite was more of a chore than pleasure. Service was nice in that the staff came around to cook for us, though it was also fairly inconsistent whom it was. At the end, we finished off with veggies which were all tasty, and I also had a steamed egg. The steamed egg was thankfully one of the best I've ever had in a while. It wasn't too salty and the perfect, pure palate cleanser. Unfortunately, though, for this price point, I would still rather eat elsewhere if it's just for brisket and beef belly. read more

I'd say prob on the pricier side for AYCE but I think they taste the best... valet parking I also like their doshirak for lunch read more

Come here for the LA Galbi! We got the Silver AYCE which was ~$52/pp + tax. Our party mainly ordered the Galbi, which was our main reason for coming here. My cousins, who are locals, had recommended that this was their favorite AYCE KBBQ spot for Galbi. We did do a couple rounds of the brisket. It satisfied my brisket fix, but certainly wasn't as tasty as the Galbi. The cold noodle was okay, but again, not a highlight. Our server was friendly, but service was a bit slow during the first part of our meal since the restaurant was busy. When the lunch rush died down, service became much more efficient. read more

One of the best AYCE KBBQ spots in LA. The quality of all the meat was great, and the servers were amazing at building rapport. They were extremely friendly, attentively cooking the meat for us at all of their given chances, and even brought us out a platter of brisket arranged in the form of a flower, which I thought was really cool! All around an extremely solid place to hit; I recommend it. read more

Brothers BBQ - BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Visited four years ago and had a fantastic experience, so I was excited to come back with my partner for another great meal. Unfortunately, this visit was quite disappointing. There were open burners and no line, yet we weren't seated. Once we were finally seated, no one came over to take our order or check on us. After realizing quite a bit of time had passed, we set a 10 minute timer and still no one came to our table. At that point, we decided to leave. It was an unfortunate experience, especially given how much we enjoyed our previous visit. The lack of service felt unprofessional, and we left feeling quite disappointed. Wish we could've had the food again. read more

One of the best KBBQ spots where it wasn't stressful, had clean floors and most importantly quality meat options with lots of good banchan. Service was great! They cooked our meat for us which was great! They have their own parking lot which was very nice not to have to worry about. Would come here for KBBQ from now! read more

Great appetizers, excellent variety. High-quality meat, ADA parking available, central location.

With literally hundreds of kbbq in ktown, you're bound to be in a dilemma. This place has all I want in ayce--delicious high quality meats, yummy high quality banchan, and top tier service. I didn't expect them to come over and cook for us but they did! The silver ayce was priced at about $45 so I say it's borderline normal LA ayce. There was also some mishap with the seating so they asked us to move tables (which we didn't mind btw) and gave us free soda! They really didn't have to do that but their attention to customer service was very appreciated. The meats! Omg the galbi and the brisket were definitely our favorites. I could tell the meat was fresh and of good quality. Each of the banchan was a hit. I haven't seen this much variety and great quality of banchan in an ayce kbbq in so long. One thing to note, though, is that their ventilation was really lacking. I'm not sure if the fans were even on or maybe it was broken but it bothering us the majority of our meal to the point where they had to open the exit door a few times just to help with the ventilation. Hopefully they'll fix it by the time I come back for more! read more

Brothers bbq is seriously a great value AYCE Kbbq! They also have regular kbbq too. But we went for the AYCE priced at $50pp. Loved the fact they have good buckwheat noodles and LA Galbi on the menu! We definitely stuffed ourselves with that! Overall it was a great experience, 4 stars because they were a bit understaffed and service was a bit slow. But the staff did work hard! Definitely coming back for more LA Galbi read more

I don't really eat AYCE KBBQ anymore since the pandemic, but for Brothers BBQ being my first one in years, it was an overall good experience for the price. I went with the Silver tier, which is the least expensive, and there was a good variety of meats to choose from. The cuts were a lot better during the first few rounds, because over time the quality went down. I noticed this after a few rounds of brisket - they started serving frozen brisket toward the end. The last round of brisket ended up being so dry and bland. The first round was very solid though. I liked how the other meats like the pork belly weren't too fatty compared to those at other AYCE places. Bulgogi and kalbi were also very solid and had good amount of flavor in the marinade. The variety of banchan was amazing. They had japchae, fish cake and even squid. Loved the purple radish wraps. Only minor complaint would be that the rice paper was a little thick. Staff was very attentive by checking in on us often, and they even grilled the meats for us. read more

Brothers BBQ - Brisket - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I visited Brothers Korean BBQ last year and had to come back because, in my opinion, it's the best Korean BBQ in Koreatown. The décor is decent, nothing extraordinary, but the food is what really shines. The meats aren't overly marinated, and unlike many LA Korean BBQ spots that lean sweet, the flavors here are perfectly balanced. We chose the Gold Package for $64.99 per person, and they definitely don't skimp on portions. You leave full and happy. The décor is decent, nothing extraordinary, but the food is what really shines. The marinated K-style short ribs and beef brisket were my favorites. We tried almost everything on the menu, and I highly recommend ordering both cold noodles. I know some people aren't used to cold noodles, but trust me, they're delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the soybean paste and kimchi stews, but everything else was fantastic. The servers are friendly and attentive. If you're in the LA area, Brothers Korean BBQ will not disappoint. Valet parking is available on-site, which is super convenient. read more

For $45/pp, the silver level AYCE is a solid option when you are craving korean bbq. You can open up with brisket or thin pork belly/jowl but honestly nowadays I just go straight for the marinated short rib (galbi). The marinade is flavorful and not too sweet. The meat is super tender. They use charcoal in the gas grills and the staff cook the meat for you (~90% of the time because I can get impatient). Banchan is solid - I like the white onion salad (unique - I haven't seen it elsewhere), scallion salad, pink pickled radish wraps, soy sauce pickled jalapeno/onion with wasabi, and the fishcake. I usually ask for sesame oil. Service has always been good although some are better cooks than others. Pro tip: If you are only making short rib, make sure to ask for the other grill (looks like a grid). street metered parking available on the same block. Ventilation isn't great and you will smell like smoke/meat after. read more

Brothers BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Where do i even start? Came here with a friend and got the AYCE for $50. I liked that it was quiet and that i can actually have a conversation without difficulty. This is the only positive side. (Could have gone to a tea house or coffee shop) Servers/cooks: seem upset and angry. Meat quality: you want rubber brisket? You can chew it forever. Kalbi?! You call that kalbi?! Everyone can rate it high as they wish but those are the people who want quantity and zero quality. They only had two tables and it was kinda hard to flag down our server. read more

Brothers BBQ used to be one of my go-to spots for Korean BBQ -- the meat quality is excellent, and the service has always been top-notch. It's one of those places I'd recommend without hesitation, even though the prices are a bit higher than other BBQ restaurants, because the service usually makes it worth it. Unfortunately, today was by far the most disappointing visit I've ever had. The issue wasn't that the service was slow -- it was that there was no service at all. Normally, the servers take care of everything and grill the meat for you, which is part of what makes dining here enjoyable. But this time, we had to do everything ourselves. There were only two tables in the entire restaurant (including ours), yet we could hardly find a server anywhere. By the time someone came by, the meat was already burned, and no one even offered to change the grill plate. Honestly, if you're coming here expecting the same attentive service this place is known for, you might want to think twice. If you're not confident grilling meat yourself, this is definitely not the place to be. Once My Favorite K-BBQ Spot, But Today Was a Total Letdown From Top-Tier Service to Zero Attention -- What Happened, Brothers BBQ? Used to Love This Place...

After a long week, nothing hits the spot better than some KBBQ. Most people know one of the most challenging things about dining in KTown is finding parking. The nice thing about Brothers is that they have their own dedicated parking lot. Fortunately, my husband and I live in walking distance so it takes out the hassle of dealing with finding parking. We dined with a friend around 6pm on a Thursday and the wait was virtually non-existent. We opted for the silver tier for all-you-can-eat which had a pretty good selection of different meats and side dishes. All the banchan were fresh and plentiful. We decided on brisket, thin pork belly, and marinated short rib. Portions here are decently sized and I love how they have purple rice! Service is very quick and attentive. Mutiple servers helped us throughout the night and cooked all our meat for us. Ambiance is pretty standard. Brothers is a very casual low-key establishment, definitely not a place to wear your favorite jacket unless you want it to smell like meat. My only qualm is that the vents could be improved since it can get pretty smoky and I had to look away from the table a few times so that the smoke wouldn't sting my eyes. At the end of our meal, we were totally stuffed and satisfied. We paid about $60 per person with tax and tip which may seem like a little bit of a splurge but I think with the meat quality and how expensive KBBQ is now... it was totally worth every penny. read more

Horrible service. We showed up around 8:45 with just two people and were told at the door that last call was 9:30. The moment we sat down, we were immediately pressured to order--no greeting, no "take your time," nothing. This was literally a few minutes after arriving, before we even had a chance to pour water or properly look at the menu. The place was basically empty with only a few other tables, so there was no reason to rush us. The ambiance was also disappointing: barely any music, and the restaurant didn't feel very clean or well-kept. Overall it felt like they wanted us in and out as fast as possible. Save your money--there are multiple KBBQ spots nearby with much better service. read more

Had dinner here a few weeks ago. Parking situation was great which is rare for Ktown. Ambiance is spacious but the fans could be better. I smelled like galbi all night long. Service was okay. We felt a little neglected in the corner of the restaurant and they took their time getting us additional banchan. As for the food, we got the silver combo which was tasty and satisfied our KBBQ cravings. The meats were quality and servings were good. Our group meets up every couple of months so we do a lot of chatting and catching up so if we were really hungry, I would probably have downgraded it a star because the service was spotty and after 90 minutes. they told us it was last call. I'm hoping it was just a bad night for their servers. If you need a good KBBQ that doesn't break the bank, Brothers is a good choice. read more

Food was not the issue here. Came here on sunday looking for ayce for the first time in a while. no ones in the front to greet. we had to wait in the front for 10 minutes before we were greeted and it was not even busy. then when we were ordering one of the server has a GREAT attitude problem. it made all of us un wanted and he needs to be either retrained or removed. When we were ordering off the menu i can see him roll his eyes back and sound annoyed and does not explain anything. Horrible experience. i felt like this is one reason i dont go to ayce read more

They have their own parking lot, which is amazing. They've been recognized with so many awards in the past years, it is a favorite among locals. Their banchan offerings are fresh and delicious. I particularly loved the onions and kimchi. We went for AYCE BBQ. They have a lot of options but we stuck with our favorites. Their pork belly and LA Galbi were among my favorites. Service is good, servers are attentive. It's a restaurant where you can bring the whole family or enjoy with your friends. read more

I just love a good Korean restaurant. This one was above and beyond. The food was delicious, but above all the attentive service and amount of side dishes that came with lunch were both unusual and plentiful. We even had a scallion, pancake and soup on the side to accompany our hot stone bibimbap. It was full of meat, spinach, seaweed vegetables, and seasoned rice. The most unusual one I've ever had in a good way. I will definitely be back. read more

Passed by many times, till we decided to try this restaurant. Soo happy we did! 1st the staff. So friendly, calm, helpful, and with a sense of humor. In any restaurant, the staff can set the atmosphere. 2nd first time here, the staff was very helpful helping us out with the menu. Lastly, the meat quality was amazing. Paying a little bit more does give you a higher quality of meat. If you have not tried this place, you are missing out. read more

My family and I visited this place last night for the first time. While I had heard positive reviews regarding your Korean BBQ, my experience fell short of expectations. The side dishes appeared dry, and the galbi was notably tough, to the extent that some pieces were difficult for my parents to chew and had to be discarded. Consequently, I am uncertain about a return visit. read more

I had the Bibim Naengmyeon with LA Galbi and my friend got the Mul Naengmyeon with Idong Galbi. The noodles were chewy and flavorful, and the meat was super juicy and tender.

Great presentation, great taste--definitely one of the best spots in Koreatown! read more

We opted for the Silver AYCE package, and it was definitely worth the price. From there, you select three types of meat at a time, and each one is top quality. All the cuts of meat were fresh, tender, and perfectly sliced. The service was fantastic too; the servers grill everything for you and are quick to change the grills to keep the food cooking evenly. The side dishes are a great complement to the main dishes. The mini naengmyun from the menu was also fantastic. We ended up spending about $60-70 per person with tip, and it was totally worth it. Overall, great food, great service, and definitely worth the price for an excellent KBBQ meal. Valet is $3 cash. read more

Was going to eat at the hotel around the corner, but they had a prefixe menu we didn't want so we headed over here to see what we could find and what we found was a hidden gem! This place was really good cause they have a weekday special for AYCE. The meats were flavorful and I loved the sides! Would probably come back here if I'm in the area during the week! The servers are great and they help cook some of the meat for you. The music is loud like any other kbbq spot, but we could still have conversations with the people at our table. read more

This restaurant was favorite before but I didn't go there for while after tastes change. I useally go this place for eat bbq but this time we eat lunch menu. Cold noodles(2.5/5)- noodle was over cooked. I've been eaten better cold noodles anywhere else. Galbijjim (3/5)- little sweet than normal but it was ok. Grab quick lunch menu was great options at this place. Anyone trying bbq more than their lunch menu but it good to try once and if you found what you like then can go there for lunch. Was not a lot of people so our food comes out so quickly. Big restaurants and they have a lot of table outside and inside. If you like sweet marinade galbi than anywhere this place good for that. read more

I'm very disappointed in the service. They put me way back in the corner. The table didn't have one of those bells/buzzers. Each time I needed something, I actually walked up to the kitchen and asked for more kimchi, and waved my hand asking for the check. I even made a comment, "Dude, you put me in the corner and completely neglected me." And the server didn't even respond. You've got to check up on your customers at least once.. It's fallen far short of even basic expectations.. read more

Came here to celebrate my borthers birthday. He wanted korean bbq. Valet parking was $3. You can order 3 meat at a time. There was ton of bonchan choices on the table.

The price wasn't too bad considering there was a lot of choices. read more
