I visited my friend for a late birthday and he lived nearby here in Ktown. He is a regular and highly recommended the spot. The service was top notch and the food consistency was fresh and high quality. My favorite meats were the Wagyu brisket and short ribs. We were here for a crazy amount of time, about 5 hours and drinking hangover worthy amounts of soju. Apparently this is the spot to be for Korean locals and explains the authentic feel. It felt like many folks all knew each other like a Cheers bar. My friend actually bumped into several people that he knew, and apparently this spot is owned by 6 of the workers here who invested into the restaurant? They seem to get terrific support by fellow Koreans and it makes a lot of sense with the good food and service. I had a great time meeting many locals, stuffing my face with high quality meats, and drinking a lot... I highly recommend this spot for the Ktown experience. Some tips: get reservations or come early because it can get packed... also for parking, look into what I learned about... local "Korean uber." read more

Found this place by accident because the place we were originally going to had a wait. I'd say this is a good place to go if you don't want to fall into the trap of eating too much because you feel obligated to get your moneys worth at AYCE. We ordered pork belly, marinated beef short rib and cold noodles and found that to be more than enough food for the two of us combined with the banchan. The banchan was salad, regular kimchi, green onion salad and green onion root, wasabi flavored radish paper, and bean sprouts. Sauces were real interesting, with a spicy red that tasted sorta like lasagna and a green pesto. I didn't prefer them but asked for some sesame oil to use with my salt. Service was very friendly though could be slow at times- we were the only non-Koreans in the establishment and the servers seemed like they knew most of the patrons and were drinking with them. They will come by to cook and change the grill when they remember. The server we had was surprised when we didn't find the cold noodles spicy. Total came out to over $80 for 2 people, so def come here if you're looking for quality meat + drinks and not the pressure of AYCE value. read more

Dae Sung Ro Korean BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here on a Saturday at 6:30. We didn't have a reservation but our party of 6 got seated within 10 minutes at a round table. By the time we left at around 8:00, the place was packed! We ordered the DSR combo and added the boneless short rib (oh so good!) and the beef brisket (also delicious!) The quality of meat was good-tender, melt in your mouth. The bonchons included radishes, cucumbers, kim chi, chap jae, and fish cakes. Standouts were the cucumbers and chap jae. One negative was the ventilation. Smoke was a bit overwhelming at times and fans were weak. We asked the servers to see if anything could be done and they told us that it was due to the door being open. We wound up sitting on one side of the table to avoid the smoke. Servers came by to cook and cut the meat often until they got busy. We had a difficult time flagging down a waiter to pay our check. The pros: Food-5/5 Service-4/5 Parking-3/5 (street parking or valet for $4) Atmosphere-3/5 (poor ventilation) Liked the food but the ventilation is a bit of a deterrent in coming back. read more

Dae Sung Ro Korean BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

You really feel like your transported back in South Korea here. Slightly chaotic, low seating with stools with storage and a really lively atmosphere with a full house. Parking is tough and they do have valet but it can get full. Be sure to make a reservation! Came in a party of 4 and with a reservation was seated right away. The table is very small and they give you a lot of banchan but what we noticed at the end of the meal was that our table was missing some which was a bummer - the green onion salad (a typical fav of ours) and radish sheets. Didn't know to ask until we saw other people getting served it at the end of our meal. Ordered the DSR combo - They cook the meat for you and are attentive so all of our meat was cooked just right and not overdone. The chicken feet was surprisingly very smoky. They are deboned and a very cartiligue taste. Can't say I would crave it again as I think I prefer the dim sum preparation better but it was unique to try! We also tried the Pork Skin which was really good and another first for us to see it on a menu. It had a gelatinous texture but still had a crunch like cartilage. Not something you could eat a ton in one sitting so share with a group. read more

Popped into this place randomly on Sunday evening after my buddies 40th birthday. Very dark and moody and lively inside. The service was pretty great. We've never been there before we weren't sure what to order, and the servers helped us with everything once we made a decision. We ordered a combo for three people, and I think we had pork belly and several beef options, the soup that we had was fantastic, it was just the perfect amount of food . We weren't drinking so I think we might've missed out on some shots going down between the staff and the tables at the end of the night, but it was fun to watch everybody . Rarely in the side of town, this was a random decision to go here and I'm so glad we did . read more

Omg we were in LA for a concert and went to a Korean spa beforehand. Saw this place had great reviews and decided to try it. Got the combo for 2 with the short ribs. Also added the steamed egg. My sissy had never had KBBQ before and she loved it! She especially loved that they cook for you! Lol I was prepared to do it myself but the servers constantly came around and flipped etc We got there at 6 and in 30 mins the place was packed!!!! read more

Spot is BOMB and it feels like you're in a k-club lol. Parking is a little difficult but honestly so worth. The banchan is killer and the meat is super flavorful. Service is quick and efficient. Everyone's in motion so it's a little rush but in a good way. Vibes are always up here and can say I will be back for the good times. read more

The have valet parking if you're unable to find street parking, which is hard since there's so much food at this intersection. At 5:30pm on a Sunday we were able to walk in and get seated immediately. Servers were quick to get our orders and get the food sequence started. We got the DSR combo and the meats were a fair size for a group of 3. Paired with the salads and banchan, the meal was very satisfying without making your stomach burst. If the place is slow, servers come by your table to help cook the meat. But when the place gets busy, the service will understandably become more sparse as they have more tables than servers. They also seemed to have only 20 tables that comfortably sit 4-5 at a time, so it's best for small groups. It's also best to come early or be prepared to wait for a table. read more

Awesome staff!! We went here the night of Mexico vs South Korea and they took care of our party. They held a table for us and quickly cleared for a large group. Everyone was extremely friendly and hung out with our group for most of the night. The food was delicious even though the menu was limited. The staff made exceptions for us because we didn't eat pork! Overall highly recommend read more

This place gets really busy, so come early. I went around 5:30 on a Saturday so I didn't have to wait, but it starts getting packed at around 6:30-7 ish. We weren't too hungry so we just got the pig skin, sausage and veg stir fry, and cold noodles. The meat was ok, but the sauce they give with is bomb! The sausage and veg stir fry was horrible. Don't order that. The cold noodle was delish! Overall this place is popping, the food is on the decent side, service is great. I would come back again, for sure. read more

This restaurant really is giving that hole in the wall spot in Seoul. We got the DSR combo which is a set of beef and pork, it says for 2-3 people, but can actually feed 4! There's only 3 of us, and by the time the server pulled out the fourth plate of meat, me and my friends looked at each other like "help" lol. This will be one of our kbbq spots now for sure! read more

DAE SUNG RO is fantastic. The service is outstanding. Our server is attentive, friendly, and makes the Korean bbq experience feel amazing. The meat quality is excellent, especially their signature Pork Skin, which is an absolute must-order. The sauces are incredibly good and really elevate everything. I also loved the Galbi--so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Great spot for drinking with friends, amazing vibes, and top-tier service. I'd definitely come back more often. read more

Me and my friends came to Dae Sung Ro KBBQ and it was such a lovely experience! We ordered the beef combo & I got sososo full. Everything was so yummy + the price point isn't bad. The only con is that this is in an area where parking is so hard to find. We drove around for at least twenty minutes before we found a parking spot -- I wish they had a parking lot. Overall, this place was pretty good but isn't my fav KBBQ spot in LA. I feel like there's better spots out here but it wasn't bad for what it was. read more

Saw this place on the way to go to another kbbq spot and wanted to give it a try. They have valet parking for $4 and street parking if you're lucky. Got inside and the place has a nice vibe to it. Got a table right away since it wasn't that packed. We ordered the DSR combo and all the meats were amazing! The only downside was that they don't have brisket sauce or rice paper. But the sauces were still good though! read more

I genuinely think that this is one of the best Korean barbecue spots to visit, I love that. They have Mexican fusion Korean barbecue, if you ask for tortillas they offer it and their side sauces are like chimichurri and unique. The meat quality was also really good and they were really attentive a little bit too sweet for my liking but everything else was so delicious! There is a lot of seating and is open late night so good for big groups, there is parking across the street and even though it says valet they let us park for free. read more

We luckily arrived on a Friday @ 6:30P because 30 minutes later, this place was packed! Great energy, clean atmosphere, hospitable service, and really good bbq! The Beef Brisket Soybean soup is fantastic, full of richness, zucchini, onion, and bits of beef and firm tofu, I enjoyed each bite despite it being hotter to hades. We started with brisket, which is served with bean sprouts. The group decided it wasn't the best, but made up for it with a second round 86ing the vegetal filler. The sauces give a fun south-American twist, the chimchurri goes great with the short rib. The banchan of pickled veggies were sweet, tart, and crisp. Definitely a must for kbbq! read more

What an amazing find. My korean friend born and raised in korea recommended this place and DAYMNNN. AMAZING. I want to keep this for myself tbh but its so good that i must write a review. Meat is very high quality (wagyu, kurobata etc.) Very happy they have a beef/pork combo now but we added pork jowl too which just made the whole experience even better. The great thing about this place is that the quality of meat matches the price. It is not over priced and it really is good portion. For the types of meat its great. Going in reminds me of korea at night pocha vibes. Super highly recommend. Droooooling just thinking about it read more

There's better places you can go. The food was decent/good. Service was just casual--they cook your meat, bring whatever when they have the time. It was really strange seeing 2 people continuously coming to our table to check on meat though. Ambiance is decent, tables are a bit small if you're ordering for 4+ read more

Solid new spot in ktown. Walked in on a Friday night looking for kbbq without a long line. Was seated promptly. We ordered the beef combo set for 2 and it was the perfect amount of food. The banchan was so good. Came with so many dipping sauces as well. There was a pesto like sauce that blew my mind along with whole chunks of garlic and jalapeños. I can never have too much garlic. The pork belly was my favorite. It was so fatty and crispy. At the end they give you the bone as well which iv never seen in ktown. I do wish the banchan came with fish cake or potato salad but either way still great. The server wasn't the best at cooking our food and seemed to forget a lot so we did it ourselves half the time. Fine by me though since I like my meat on the crispier side and usually the waiters take it off too early for me. Food: 4.7/5 Service: 3/5 Ambience: 4.5/5 read more

I was curious why this place is so popular these days, and now I totally get it. It's the ultimate Korean BBQ spot with fantastic value. The prices are unbelievably good, and the meat quality is solid. A must-try here is definitely the pork belly and marinated short ribs. Make sure to wrap the ribs in tortillas, add onions and hot sauce, and make your own taco - highly recommended. Absolutely delicious! Tips: Strongly recommend arriving around 5 PM when they open. It gets super busy after 7 PM and is even hard to do valet parking. read more

I was introduced to this location by my coworkers. I brought my boyfriend and his brother here. The steamed egg is sooo good we ordered 2 of them both times I came. The tables are small but nothing to complain about. The ambience is fun. They normally have sports on the tv's. This place gets crowded. We ordered the tasting and it was a lot of food. We really liked the cheese corn and the wagyu cut. This places I worth the price point. Parking is good if you get valet. The staff is friendly read more

Food: 4 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 4.5 stars I visited on a Saturday night around 6 pm. I wasn't too busy but was packed about an hour later. The service was excellent, and I'd rate the BBQ 4 stars. What really stood out to me was their kimchi-jjigae (kimchi stew), which came with the combo menu. I don't usually order kimchi-jjigae, but I'd definitely get it again here. I even finished an entire bowl of rice with the soup. Definitely had the good energy to enjoy the Saturday night. read more

Dae Sung Ro Korean BBQ - Tortilla - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What a great new Korean BBQ place! I came here on a random weekday and it was not busy, so I got seated right away. I have heard it gets hot in here (temperature wise, LOL) and with the current heat wave in LA, I was apprehensive. But, our friends (who has been here) recommended that we ask for a table near the AC, which we got and it was cool throughout the dinner. The service was prompt and once we got seated the banchan came out. As for the food, they have combos (beef and pork) and a la carte items. Since I had never been here before, our group of 4 opted for both the beef and pork combo. The meats were super good and tender. My favorites were the short rib and pork jowl. Both were super tender. The servers would come by and cook for you, which was great so I can eat more (LOL). I would definitely also recommend getting a taco kit, which provides some tortilla and onion/cilantro to make your own tacos. I didn't know I needed this in my life, but once it was ordered, I definitely did. Aside from that, the service was amazing and the prices were reasonable. I am definitely going to come back here. One note though is that parking is pretty bad around here. Very little street parking. There is a valet but they stack the cars, so I imagine when it gets busy, you might be waiting a little for your car. If possible, definitely would recommend Uber to come here. read more

LOVE this BBQ joint! Went with my husband and mom to meet up with family who lives in Ktown and cousin and her husband from Korea. My husband and I HATE going to LA because of all the traffic but this place is worth it. Amazing service from the guys working there. Really good quality meat! Haven't had good quality meat at Korean bbq places in a while. Their stews, fried rice, and noodles dishes are all good too. They have unique yet really delicious sauces. Their hot sauce is very similar to El Taurino! Has really good heat to it. You can ask for tortilla to make tacos using their marinated meat with their hot sauce. They give you cilantro and onion mix too. It is a bit loud but most k-bbq places are. It's good to go as soon as they open because it gets really crowded. And I can see why. Already recommending to friends. Can't wait to go back with friends soon! read more

For three people, we ordered the beef combo, spicy boneless chicken feet, pig skin, and a couple of soju + beer. The total came to $211 before tip, and with a 25% tip, it was $262. Not bad! We put our name down after 6:30 PM and had to wait over 40 minutes, so be prepared for wait times. The meat was quite good, and I enjoyed the fusion of sauces. The usual Korean side dishes were served--radish, kimchi, raw garlic, and bean paste--but they also provided some unique options like pesto and a Mexican spicy sauce, which I really liked. They didn't include greens like lettuce or perilla leaves. I really liked the beef combo. I was excited to try the boneless chicken feet, which are hard to find, but they were too spicy for me. My friends enjoyed them, though, so they were happy to shteal my unclaimed chicken feet. I especially enjoyed the pig skin; it was super chewy, and dipping it in bean powder made it a real treat. The restaurant is spacious and clean, with servers frequently coming by to take care of the grill. I'd definitely return for the great deal and the pig skin. read more

HOT AND NEW would be an understatement. In an area where there are so many choices for kbbq, this place stood out for a number of reasons. First of all, service was incredible. We were immediately sat, and servers came by often to cook our meat and change our grill. One server in particular, Sol, was especially helpful so ask for him. Second, the quality of the meat was good. We ordered their beef combo, which was more than enough food for 2 ppl. And lastly, they had unique sauces. They had this pesto-looking sauce which was actually ground up perilla leaf and another one was a korean spicy version of tikka masala. majority of the customers were korean, so thats how you know this place was legit. all in all -- we came here because the wait at other nearby kbbq spots were too long. food and service were really good, and our server Sol said their pork combo set was fire so we'll def come back for that. parking was tough but they do have valet! read more

Quality of food and service was excellent! Got the beef combo and ordered the pork jowl and it was plenty of food for two people but we managed to finish! It was delicious. The beef quality was really good. The beef combo comes with soup, brisket, short rib and marinated short rib. The color of the meat looked really fresh and marbling on the short rib was perfection. They also use kurobuta pork which is exciting! The sauces are great too - a unique sauce they have is their chimichurri since other kbbqs don't have that. They are very attentive in helping you cook and they made sure we had enough garlic and banchans! They don't currently have flavored soju but we were ok with the original sojus. The restaurant is clean and cute! They have valet but not when it gets later into the night. They open late which is great! Excited to come back for more. read more

New KBBQ spot in Koreatown! I had to edit the review because I was in a hurry and wrote a couple sentences as a "bookmark" for the next review. I understand that there are a million Kbbq places in Koreatown but a new bbq spot always sparks my interest and especially because this was close to what it used to be about 10-years ago hahahaha The decor inside is very cute/ hip/ modern, I'm sure the grime will start to collect soon but for now it has a very clean feel and the tables and chairs aren't sticky yet hahaha Their menu is concise and they offer 2 different combo sets; one beef and one pork-- both combos give you a sampler of almost all the meats so I'd say order the combo and figure out which cuts you enjoy the most! For 3 people we ordered the beef combo but felt a little small so we added another a la carte pork cut and fried rice (WOW, do not skip the fried rice tho) You can also order the taco kit! I was so full but that taco was DELICIOUS! Their sauces, AMAZING! I had to ask for another side of their chimichurri sauce; almost drank it HAHA I'm definitely coming back with a better game plan next HAHA read more

Hands down one of the best KBBQ spots I've ever been to. Easily top 3. The quality of the meat is outstanding. You can taste the difference. Everything is fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The service is fast, friendly, and feels authentic. They're attentive without being overbearing, and you never have to flag someone down. You can tell the team here actually cares about the experience. There's valet parking in the alley behind the restaurant, which is a lifesaver because finding street parking on the weekend? Forget it. I genuinely hope this place gets all the success it deserves, but selfishly... I also hope it never gets gentrified or loses what makes it special. It's that good. read more

Great food and amazing atmosphere. The meat quality was very good for the price. Not all you can eat which I prefer.

Very good quality meat for an affordable price. We came here with no expectations, and was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant has a cute theme, throwback Korean pocha style. The tables were slightly small for 4 but no biggie. The chairs have storage under the seat for your purse or jacket. We got the meat combo and it was enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. We added an order of pork jowl and we couldn't finish it. Get the tortillas to make tacos! It was out of this world. The chadol soybean soup was spectacular and my kids ate 2 bowls of rice each! We were too full to have the fried rice or the cold noodles which I was excited to try. Service was slightly inattentive and we were forced to cook our own meat while I saw other tables get better service. I'm not sure if it's bc they saw me cooking and figured I had it under control or I was forced to cook bc we were underattended to. Also the ceilings are high and some of the tables were super loud and it echoed. They were playing the dodgers game on the big screens though read more

Absolutely BECAME MY FAVORITE INSTANTLY Omg great service, the vibe itself feels like Korean Style Bar, but their main is meat. Now the best part starts here, their quality of the meat is AMAZING. Stew is like something I never had anywhere. Their sauce is on point!!! Please do me a favor and try their hot sauce. I am in LOVE with it. They even cook the meat for you, and also try their fried rice. It is a ONE OF A KIND. There's nothing bad to point out. Their parking is with Valet. Love the vibe of this place also.

This place is worth braving Friday night Ktown traffic for :') The combos here are a STEAL...my lady and I got the beef combo for $88 and my lady had to tap out early because she was too full. Even though it's on the cheaper side, they do not skimp on the meat quality. The marbling on the beef belly was to die for and ending on the marinated galbi made my tastebuds sing! Adding bean sprouts on top of the beef belly was a genius move, helping me feel a bit healthier. The actual restaurant looked pretty cool. I love the pocha setting. Also, big tip, the chairs have a storage space in them if you lift up the seat!!! Perfect for storing anything that you don't want to smell like kbbq. The service was also nice. The servers cook for you and they're very attentive. The only cons are: no rice paper and it can get real loud and rowdy. If you're looking to catch up with a friend, maybe come earlier or choose a different spot. Besides that, I think I found my go-to kbbq spot in Ktown! read more

My BF took me here as we were visiting from SD. I loved that they cook for you and that the beef and pork combo filled both of us right up. They traditionally ended with changing the grill for the marinated short rib which was fatty, juicy and my favorite. My other favorite was the wagyu beef belly which was also juicy and smooth. Service was very well, I can see that the servers love their customers and appreciate that kindness goes a long way. We were able to take some leftovers home as well! Server told us to not forget it... and then we both forgot it. He came out and gave our leftovers to us since we forgot it! LOL. The atmosphere is loud and all the customers are here to have a good time. Thanks for blowing away our expectations! read more
