    Galbi

    TL;DR - my current favorite spot, amazing pork belly, many great options, nice and attentive staff too Bull BBQ is one my current favorite Korean BBQ spots in the south bay! Super nice and friendly staff. They're very attentive. Nice ambiance too, not too noisy or anything. The highlight of this place is the quality of their meats. We got the B menu which includes all the goodies. The most enjoyable meat was their pork belly. They have a variety of pork belly options. Normally pork belly tends to be on the slightly thicker side which translates too it being too fatty and chewy. So it usually takes longer to eat and if there's a marinade.. it tends to be a big punch of saltiness in your mouth. Their cuts here were thinner! It was so tasty and perfect that we ended up getting several orders! Their galbi, angus brisket, pork cheek, etc were all delicious too. Nice sides and soups too! Highly recommend this place. I'm definitely coming back!

    Easy parking lot . Casual , cozy, family owned feel. Prices comparable to other k bbq restaurants . Came on a Tuesday night, we were seated right away, lots of happy customers already eating . Plenty of tables . Despite the busyness, the customer service was friendly , positive attitude, smiles, efficient. I really liked the dipping sauce. The bulgogi was great, good texture, good flavor. The beef belly and beef brisket as expected. Kimchi pretty good as well. Had a very pleasant dinner with the hubby :)

    Solid spot for AYCE KBBQ, limited ban chan, but we are here for the meats. The selection is not as extensive but it is good and tasty. Hits the spot. Fiendly staff, not to noisy, get a booth if you can.

    A very good local KBBq option - typically for those that know what they like and are maybe in it more for the quantity than quality - but overall service is always on top of things for you and you get a few nice sides. I usually just go with the A menu, find it more than enough choices to satisfy most cravings! A typically more fun and lively atmosphere on weekend nights with groups and couples out having a good time - an overall fun local place that feels more authentic than say GEN - check it out!

    I've been here multiple times and it's always been my favorite Korean bbq spot. The food is great especially their spicy pork. They give a perfect amount of sides. The people are helpful and quick when it comes to bringing our food out. The place is fairly big and almost every time I've been here we have been seated in less than 20 mins. However, recently I went and I looked under the table to find a big clump of fat leaking from the stove. It was disgusting but this is the only time I've ever seen this.

    bull bbq is my favorite Korean bbq the food is always spot on . The side dishes are delicious I can't stop ordering. the service is good when it's busy we still have good service. This time around we got busy with conversations that the waiter was moving the food because it was burning thanks to her we had crispy meat lol . The ambiance is great I love this place.

    This place was recommended by our tax guy name Ish. He is from Family Tax Service. Btw he is the best! Came here and I love that it was not crowded yet. The service was so great. I feel like it was old school (authenticity) meaning the service, atmosphere and the feeling when you are there. I even felt like we were in koreatown. People there were very welcoming and attentive. Ensuring that we have everything we needed and they even cut our meat. They do it so effortlessly. It was very nice. As for the food...surprisingly delicious. I usually don't like Korean marinated food but here I tried the marinated meats. It was delicious! It was too sweet like many other places. I don't like my food to be sweet at all as I am more to the salty side. Overall this place will be our go to spot every year or whenever we come back down this way in town.

    I always love going to AYCE Korean BBQ and this is one of the place. They are understaffed but really get back to you as quick as they can for ordering and changing grills. Their price is very competitive for the quality of meat that they offer. I ordered: 1. Black pork belly 2. Marinated pork neck 3. Angus beef brisket 4. Beef tongue 5. Prime beef rib eye 6. Marinated LA galbi 7. Spicy baby octopus 8. Steamed egg 9. Ramen 10. Soybean paste stew

    Bulls BBQ in Gardena is perfect for groups -- all-you-can-eat, affordable, and fun. Delicious sides, quality premium cuts, and friendly staff who happily recommend dishes make every visit smooth and enjoyable. Great food, service, and value -- highly recommend!

    Bull bbq is an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) Korean barbeque. Served for a reasonable price in LA, Bull bbq offers delicious, fresh, nicely seasoned, banchan, an abundant and versatile selection of meat, and thoughtful and heartwarming soups and sides. I am definitely missing some photos this time (Menu, steamed egg, soups, and some meats) but I can assure you that my experience at Bull bbq was exquisite, the service was swift and attentive with frequent grill changes, with each meat platter being a fresh and generous serving. I loved eating the pork belly (I ate maybe 6 plates ), which had options of being seasoned with curry or spices, or being marinated with soy sauce (This one was exceptionally tender!), they had a taste which notified me of freshness with every bite. I can't eat beef, but my aunt says the Angus beef brisket was tender and very good. The steamed egg was the best I've eaten at any Korean bbq, it was creamy, moist, airy, and savory. Despite being an AYCE, their sides were so comforting and delicious with only a single criticism being that soybean paste stew was a bit too salty. Overall, I had an extremely good experience at Bull bbq and 100% plan to visit again to try the B menu and take photos of some things I missed. June 10th, 2025: I went for a revisit with my running team and food quality still good! Delicious savory soybean broth, I love the steamed egg (ate four extras from my friends) and the meat quality is still way better than some other AYCE BBQ places, price has rose from $28.99 to $29.99 but I will still prefer Bull BBQ as my go to AYCE Korean Barbeque as it has the best tasting side dishes, great meat quality, amazing steamed egg, quick and plentiful grill changes, and good marinades!

    Post workout! Lol

    My go to Korean spot in Gardena! It's quaint and small, but optimal to get your rizz on! Your date came in smelling Bath & Body, she leaving Bulgogi & Breath! Raaawwrr!

    Ask the Community - Bull BBQ

    What are the options for AYCE? And how much? The menus I see posted are from 5 yrs ago

    Do they take reservations for a party of 9?

    yes

    How has the menu changed since COVID? Was curious before I decide the come back. TY.

    Do they sell raw meats for takeout?

    Hi Cristopher! We actually don't have any separate menu for take-outs, however, if you would like you can text us your order and we can prepare fresh raw meats for you! If… 

    Is there a price difference for kids?

    Yes, there is. If I remember correctly my nephew who is 7 was charged half the price of any combo. And my twins who are 15 months along with my two year old nephew were free.

    Is this restaurant anyway connected to the Star BBQ that was in koreatown? I sitll haven't found another kbbq place that had intestines the same way as Star BBQ did.

    Just wanted to pass on info from the employees at Bull BBQ. Star BBQ was sold and purchased by a new owner and then renamed Bull BBQ. It had something to do with financial problems or mismanagement. Them employees also said they would only come in…

At the Gardena location, I tried the banchan crafted directly by Kim Young‑sook, a certified Korean culinary master, along with the chadol + samgyeopsal + nakji stir‑fry combo, kimchi stew, steamed egg, and cheese pancake. Her banchan are known for being: Never excessive Focused on the natural flavor of each ingredient Clean, balanced, and beautifully composed Served with a banchan cover that keeps everything protected and perfectly neat. Each dish feels like a quiet supporter that enhances the meat without ever overpowering it. Chadolbagi : The richness is unbeatable -- pure, clean beefy flavor. Samgyeopsal : A perfect match with aged kimchi. Truly a dream pairing. Nakji-bokkeum : Sweet, salty, and spicy all at once -- the kind of flavor that makes you reach for a spoonful of rice immediately. Cheese Pancake : Crispy outside, soft inside, with melted cheese wrapping around the green onions. Great texture between bites of meat. Kimchi Stew : The depth of aged kimchi comes through clearly -- not harsh, just clean and comforting. Steamed Egg : Soft, fluffy, and cloud‑like. Simple but perfect.

Most…read moreimportantly, they don't just source premium fresh ingredients--the service is also thoughtful and attentive. Their omakase has three price tiers, and only the $90 per person option features A5 wagyu. If it fits your budget, I highly recommend this set. While it's a $90 per person teppanyaki counter experience, be prepared: the 98% of meat requires you to grill the meat yourself, so mastering the heat is crucial! I also tried their grapefruit choju--made with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice--and their matcha beer from Kyoto. I highly recommend both; they're absolutely delicious.

    We came to Wagyu Butcher on a Friday night early dinner for our anniversary after a recommendation…read morefrom friends and it did not disappoint. If you're gonna splurge, go all out, am I right? But seriously, they offer 3 levels of omakase and the lowest tier does not seem worth it IMO. While you do get Wagyu, it's all lesser cuts. The middle level is the minimum to make the exp worth it, but as I said above, if you're going to splurge, get the full A5 experience! You won't regret it! Stepping into the restaurant, there is a small vestibule of sorts that separate the entrance from the actual dining area creating a sense of separation. Diners all sit along a huge c-shaped counter where there are gas burners for every 2 seats. Servers lean over the counter to take orders and provide advice on how to best cook your meat. You start off with a mix of small bites equating to the appetizer course. All levels come w a Wagyu sashimi which had just the right amount of savory and a great way to foreshadow dishes to come. At the start, the chef reviews the meats for that evening's meal. He was very cheerful but TBH, I couldn't only understand every other word he said but the message was clear -- this A5 meat is from Japan and high quality. Before every course, servers would reiterate the cut and its accompanying sauce as well as give grilling instructions. While I was nervous about having to cook these small $$$$ cuts on my own, it turned out ok. I just erred on the shorter side and threw pieces back on the grill if too chewy. All the A5 cuts were buttery and delicious. Our omakase came A5 cuts of filet, chuck flap, striploin and sukiyaki. All the meats were already pre seasoned to some degree and meant to be eaten with specific sauces but I liked to sample each piece as is before trying it with the sauces. The filet and chuck flap I thought were better on their own. The striploin was my favorite though as it was a thick strip that god a good, Cheung char on its sides but middle was still rather rare and you could bite through so easily. Second was the sukiyaki which was drenched in a whipped butter and so flavorful. The non-Wagyu items were fillers. The short rib was decent and flavorful but the skirt and sirloin were so sinewy and chewy even after longer grill times. They were lowlights and why I don't think the middle or lower omakase levels are worth it. The top level also came with a shrimp ajillo and bone marrow dish which was basically giant, raw, butterflies shrimp cooked in melted marrow. The shrimp took on a beefy undertone while the marrow had a shrimpy flavor. You had a small slice of a grilled baguette to eat and I used it with w marrow. It was so decadent and rich and unexpected. Definitely a stand out dish. Finally the meal ends with a butcher curry (which was delicious, I could eat a giant bowl of that on its own). The portion that comes w the omakase is not big but it's mean to fill you up if you're not yet full. Then came "chef's dessert" which was a light and fluffy but of a strawberry cake with raspberry sauce. Though hefty on the wallet, the meal was fantastic and we had a great time. All that said, I wish the side sauces had been better communicated at the start of the meal (salt, garlic paste, pepper powder and negishio(?)) and and to call the experience interactive is kind of generous since interactions are just them explaining the foods and is not any "more interactive" than interacting with wait staff other restaurant. But that's such a minor complaint as we could have asked about the side items or engaged with the staff more. Highly recommended but come prepared to spend. Else save up so you can spend.
