Came here on a Friday night and it was not incredibly busy. The food was of high quality and not insanely expensive. The restaurant is nicely set up with each booth (I think) maxing out at 7-8 persons. This bbq place is à la Carte which I find taste better and high quality. Service is great as well, and I would definitely come back for the food and service! read more

I had an incredible experience here. We saw them on IG! The food was outstanding. We got the classic wagyu combo. My favorite was the short rib which was perfectly tender and melted in my mouth. Every cut of Wagyu we tried was marbled and cooked to our preference really well. Customer service (shoutout to our server Sherry) was amazing from start to finish. We had a reservation and were seated right away and the convenient parking structure next door made everything easier. The place is new and clean. We accidentally left something behind when we left, and Sherry actually came out in the rain to return it to us. If I could give six stars, I would. Highly recommend! read more

This is hands down our favorite BBQ spot--no debate. Once you experience Japanese-style BBQ like this, it's really hard to go back to the typical all-you-can-eat places. The difference in meat quality is obvious from the first bite--everything tastes cleaner, more refined, and just better overall. And honestly, that says a lot coming from me. I've never been much of a meat person--I usually lean toward fish and avoid red meat whenever I can. But this place completely changed that for me. It's one of the few spots where I actually crave the meat. If you're even slightly curious, just go. You'll understand right away. read more

Oh my goodness! I never thought that the Yakiniku Manor I've been ordering since the start of the pandemic has grown from just offering takeout to opening a branch right near my home! I'm so thrilled about it! Even when they were just doing takeout, their packaging was so thoughtful, and they had a wide variety of delicious food. The RH stores have a lovely Japanese style, and there's so much to enjoy! Now, it's finally opened at the Time Square close to my place. It's so convenient, I'm so happy about it! The new store's decoration is very artistic, and the ventilation system is excellent. That's definitely a plus! The quality of the meat is still as amazing as ever. Just look at those beautiful marbling and the lovely color. When it sizzles on the grill, it's incredibly delicious! Even thinking about it now makes me drool. And their raw beef salad with sweet shrimp is so flavorful! I was really surprised by how well they make fried chicken! It's crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Paired with the stretchy cheese corn, it's simply mouth - watering! They also have a great selection of side dishes. The cold - sliced beef tongue offers a new way to enjoy tongue, and it's so refreshing! The mashed potatoes with potato chips and seaweed have such an interesting texture. And finishing with the stone - pot bibimbap is just heavenly. I was so full that I had to hold on to the wall when I left the restaurant. I went there for a party in the pumpkin season, and the store even gave us a cute pumpkin lantern. We could just pick it up and head to the party after the meal. It's so adorable! read more

WOW this is my new favorite yakiniku spot in the 626! My bf and I came here twice in one week because it was THAT good. There are plenty of high quality meat cuts to choose from. For our 1st visit, we opted for the classic Wagyu combo which had stunning presentation. Our waitress Lulu was super helpful and explained how long to cook each cut. She constantly checked in on us to make sure we were doing ok. The meat was so juicy and we were blown away by how tender the beef tongue cuts were. We also ordered a side of cheese corn which we HIGHLY recommend. If you like baekjong's cheese corn rim, then this is 10x better and more cheesy. We recommend getting one bowl of rice to share and one cheese corn.. or two. For our 2nd visit, we came back during the weekday and bought a membership because we had such a great experience. We got one membership for the two of us and it came with so many free item coupons ranging from high quality meats to our favorite cheese corn. You can only redeem one coupon per visit but trust me, you will be back. The weekdays have special pricing on various cuts for members so if you see yourself even coming back here (which you will) a few times a year, then it is 1000% worth it. The wagyu belly at $9.90 was the easiest to cook and so fatty. iWagyu is located in the Monterey park Atlantic time square plaza so there's free underground parking. If you have space for dessert or boba afterwards, then check out matcha cafe maiko or HeyTea in the same plaza. Overall, we loved our experience at iWagyu and we will be back. read more

Wagyu came out in a great presentation & the small details of flower and making the meat into a flower is clever. Wagyu literally melted in my mouth! Ribeye, beef tongue, were all so tender. I really liked the citrus in the salad & the bibimbap was so flavorful. Loved the crispy rice edges. The green tea/mango icecream comes in a cute little cup.

Came for the wider variety in the DineLA Prix Fixe Menu. For $55 per person, I feel it was a fairly well rounded and satisfying meal! *Iced Lemon Oolong Tea x2 - these were brought out at the beginning of our meal, but interestingly, it's listed under Desserts on the DineLA menu. *Appetizer Platter - Kimchi & Pickled Daikon were like Banchan and not really an appetizer. *Fresh Orange Salad - refreshing and a good break from the proteins * JP Wagyu Striploin Tsukimi Yaki A5 x2 - these were torched tableside and the tastiest melt-in-your-mouth meat we ate. *iWagyu Prime Short Rib & American Kobe Wagyu Toro - both were very good! A little too fatty for hubby, but fine for me! *American Kobe Dragon-Cut Wagyu Rib Finger - this one had a swath of gristle, so we ended up spitting out the bits we couldn't finish chewing. I'm not sure if that's how that meat is or if we got a less than desirable cut. *Crispy Japanese Fried Chicken - definitely crispy and pretty good boneless fried chicken pieces with a nice dipping sauce. *Ishiyaki Negi Wagyu Bibimbap - I am a fan of crispy rice and this bibimbap delivered! The flavors in the bowl of mixed rice was delicious with a hint of sweetness. Our grill was changed out once midway during our meal and our tea was also refilled once because we requested it at the end of our meal. They assisted with grilling partially. iWagyu is located in the Atlantic Times Shopping Center at ground level. There's free parking in the underground garage. Most of the meat at iWagyu was very tender! If I were to dine here again, I would skip the Rib Finger. I love the presentation used for the Classic Wagyu Combo (seen in pictures & videos)... they open the lid to reveal the meat accompanied by dry ice fog flowing out. read more

Not impressed. I brought my dad here as a treat and wish we went somewhere else. We got the $99 set versus the chef's recommendation. The waiters/servers were extremely unhelpful. I had told them it was our first time and the waiter offered no recommendations or even a welcome for our first time. This location does not provide any side dishes, not even for $99. No introduction to sauces. The meat was decent, not the best and not the worst I've had. At the end, they didn't even try to sell me on their membership. Very impersonal. read more

This is for the Dine in LA experience. I came with a couple of friends since it was local and it had a good deal! We got reservations cause we were a big party which I would suggest as well. We sat in the back with the big tables and every duo on the special Dine in LA menu. The side dishes and the salad came first and it was a huge bowl of veggies! The kimchi was a strong fermented taste. Now for the meat. Everything was super tender and buttery. It even came with a large bowl of Wagyu butter rice which was heavy. Overall, such a good deal. We even left with extra rice for lunch the next day. The only sad part was the dessert was replaced with an oolong tea and it wasn't that good. read more

Love the vibes here. It's upscale but comfortable enough to casually come with friends or family. Reservations are available but there seems to be a table open if you come without one (I've made reservations in advance just in case though). Music not too loud. Service is very friendly and they don't hard sell you on their membership. Everything comes out super quickly. As far as the food, it's GOOD. It's super fresh, the wagyu is A5 certified, and you know things are good when even the salad gets high praise. The drinks are nice and strong (all sake based) and it's plenty of food for everyone. It's not AYCE but I was never left wanting. Parking is in the Atlantic Plaza garage. There's more parking near the entrance on Atlantic than on Hellman. I enjoyed my time here so much I did buy a membership with came with 15 coupons. Plus they have late night deals as well since they close at midnight (for example, buy 6 Sapporo, get 3 free). read more

Made reservations for a Tuesday evening at 5 PM right when they opened! By the time we left, there was a wait. My friend and I came for Dine LA so it was a set menu for $55 per person. The preset menu came with kimchi, daikon ( I think it was picked daikon) and a fresh orange salad for appetizers, wagyu striploin, prime short rib, kobe wagyu toro, wagyu rib finger, and Japanese fried chicken for the mains and a bibimbap to finish off the meal! The menu also came with ice lemon oolong tea that came with refills. The food selection on the preset menu was really good and filing! I didn't think the meat portion was going to be filling but the richness paired well with the bibimbap and salad. The salad was so good and refreshing. I typically do not opt to eat such rich and fatty meats but the salad was a palate cleanser between bites. The place was very well kept and the staff was amazing! Super kind. Special shout out to Lulu and Crystal for the top notch service. The inside is such a cute nice layout that is perfect for any date night. The seating are mostly booths which creates a nice intimate atmosphere. Suprisingly the place did not get smokey due to all the grills that were going on. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a unique dining experience! The quality is definitely there for the price and service! read more

Great Wagyu BBQ spot that delivers on both quality and value without feeling over the top. The American thin-sliced Wagyu belly was tender, and flavorful without being too heavy. It cooks quickly and has that perfect balance of richness and beefy depth. The Weekday Special (for members) makes it even better. Wagyu can easily get expensive, but this felt reasonably priced for the quality you're getting. Portions were fair, and we left satisfied. The "Oolong Tipsy" cocktail was a nice surprise, light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. It paired really well with the richness of the meat. Service was smooth throughout the meal. Sherry, our server, was attentive and friendly without hovering. She checked in at the right times and made the experience easy and comfortable. Overall, a reliable place for good Wagyu, solid value, and a relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely come back. read more

iWagyu just opened in the plaza with Daiso, AMC, and 24 Hour Fitness, and it's a great new addition. Parking is easiest by the escalators toward the center of the plaza. Sherry, our server, provided top-tier service--super attentive and friendly. They offer cocktails & sake. It wasn't crowded on a Friday night, likely because the restaurant isn't visible from the street. One thing I loved: the grill setup pulls all the smoke down, so you don't walk out smelling like BBQ. Huge plus. The menu is Japanese, Korean, and Thai inspired, and the Chef's Recommendation comes with kimchi and lettuce wraps for the meat. Everything we had was delicious. I'm planning to come back to try the Classic Wagyu combo next time for the thick-cut tongue. They do have a membership fee that gives a small discount, so keep that in mind. The only downside was the complimentary birthday green tea ice cream--it didn't taste very authentic. Other than that, great service, great food, and a really clean, comfortable experience. Definitely worth a visit! read more

In any case, we spent about thirty minutes perusing the aisles of Sprouts and chatting outside before our table was ready. As an appetizer, we ordered the Ika Geso, fried squid legs which had a crispy texture dipped in the fresh flavors of aioli and lemon juice. For the main course, we went with family style and ordered the following rolls: Refresh, Truffle Seared Salmon, Ultimate Yellowtail, and Black Spider. My minor complaint would be the irregularly shaped portions of the Black Spider with some fried crab sticking out being slightly awkward to eat. Other than that, everything tasted fresh and unique, especially the Refresh and Truffle Seared Salmon. For three people, I'd say it's a decent amount of food without stuffing yourselves and having leftovers.

Came around 8:30pm, still fairly busy. I ended up getting the bento box with teriyaki chicken,…read moreadded blue crab rolls for $4, and my friend got the tonkotsu ramen. When I asked if the bento came with miso soup the waiter said no, but I could substitute the salad for miso soup instead, which I did. Surprised, since most bento boxes I've had include miso soup by default. The chicken was underwhelming lacked flavor, plus a lot of fatty, chewy bits and bone fragments. The crab rolls were basically a California roll with crab swapped in, no toppings, no sauce, nothing special. Ramen was decent, generous noodles, two pieces of pork, but pretty basic. Not sure if ownership or management changed since my last visit, but compared to my previous review, a lot feels different, makes me wonder if the food quality shifted too. Overall, not sure I'll be back anytime soon. Fine as a last resort if nothing else is open, but wouldn't go out of my way.

The wagyu was incredibly rich and tender, with every bite filled with a buttery, milky beef flavor and the aroma of rendered wagyu fat. The short rib practically melted in my mouth, and paired with rice, the rich umami and buttery notes spread beautifully across the palate. The thick-cut beef tongue was also wonderfully fresh, juicy, and pleasantly chewy. Wagyu & Botan Shrimp Tartare The natural sweetness of botan shrimp combined perfectly with the creamy, milky richness of wagyu beef. Wrapped in a silky quail egg yolk, the flavors burst in your mouth with every bite. Diced apples underneath added a refreshing crunch and subtle sweetness, bringing together fruity, creamy, and seafood flavors in a surprisingly harmonious way. Citrus Salad The vegetables were exceptionally fresh, and the greens themselves had a natural sweetness. Topped with orange dressing and fresh orange segments, the salad gained an extra layer of brightness and complexity that made it both refreshing and flavorful. Red Wine Slow-Cooked Thinly Sliced Wagyu The wagyu was slow-cooked at a low temperature, resulting in a remarkably tender and silky texture with subtle red wine aromas. Wrapped around sweet-tart cherry tomatoes and savory cheese, the combination of acidity, richness, and umami complemented the wagyu beautifully and created a well-balanced bite. Spicy Beef Soup The soup had just the right amount of heat, with a rich, savory broth that highlighted the flavor of the wagyu trimmings. The beef was tender, and ingredients like egg, zucchini, and onion added texture and depth. It was comforting, warming, and worked perfectly as an appetizer to start the meal. read more

Wow, what a hidden gem! Just discovered this new Yakiniku place next to AMC Atlantic -- the sign isn't huge, but once you walk in, it feels super high-end and cozy. Four of us ordered a whole feast, and the total bill was only $245.3 -- totally worth it! Their A5 Miyazaki Wagyu was absolutely amazing -- the marbling looked like marble art, and at medium rare, it literally melted in my mouth. The rich beef flavor was unforgettable Best part: right now, you can join their membership for just $29.99 and get A5 Wagyu (normally $68) for the same price! The membership also works at other branches -- seriously such a great deal for Wagyu lovers! The low-temp thin-sliced Wagyu with red wine sauce was another highlight -- super tender, paired with tangy sauce, cherry tomatoes, and mint leaves. Refreshing and perfectly balanced with a light cheese aroma. Cheesy corn was comforting and flavorful, every bite coated with gooey cheese -- definitely eat it while it's hot! Crispy Japanese fried chicken was golden and juicy -- that first bite right out of the fryer was pure happiness (kids would love this too!). The atmosphere was elegant and relaxing. Staff helped grill the meat and nailed the timing perfectly. They're running great new-store promos right now -- if you love Wagyu, this place is a must-try. I'll definitely be coming back again (and again)! read more

A hidden gem in Monterey Park - dry ice, marble beef, and great deals Rolled out of a movie at the AMC in Monterey Park's Time Square and spotted this place while walking around. The meat looked incredible on my phone search, so we walked right in. Turns out they have Mon-Thu deals - you can get Wagyu for under $20. We grabbed a combo and split the bill - super wallet-friendly. When the Wagyu platter arrived, we were blown away - dry ice smoking, mood lighting, presentation on point. The marbling was like edible art. The Wagyu brisket literally melted in your mouth, and the thick-cut beef tongue was my favorite - crispy edges, juicy center, grilled to perfection. The staff handled the grilling for us, so zero risk of ruining good meat. Combo came with sides: appetizers, fried chicken, beef soup, Wagyu donburi... so much food we had to box some up. The orange salad was huge and refreshing - a great palate cleanser between bites. The beef soup reminded me of Korean soondubu but with tender beef chunks - warm and comforting. They even mixed the Wagyu donburi for us, and I went back for thirds. Parking's a breeze - Time Square has two levels of underground garage; if you go off-peak, tons of open spaces. read more

Had a great experience at iWagyu Los Angeles. We ordered the iWagyu Experience set, which was a great choice for a first visit because it included a nice variety of premium Wagyu cuts, appetizers, soup, and stone pot bibimbap. Everything was well-paced, so we could enjoy each course without feeling rushed. The quality of the beef really stood out. Each cut had a different texture and flavor, and the staff explained the recommended grilling time for different meats, which made a noticeable difference. My favorites were the M9+ Wagyu Short Rib and the Thick-cut Beef Tongue. We also added the Japanese Wagyu Shrimp Tartare, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. The combination of Wagyu, sweet shrimp, and egg yolk was rich, fresh, and well balanced. The restaurant itself has a modern Japanese-style interior with a calm atmosphere, making it a great place for a date night or a special dinner. The service was attentive throughout the meal, and the staff checked on us regularly without being intrusive. Overall, if you're looking for quality Wagyu rather than an all-you-can-eat BBQ experience, iWagyu is definitely worth trying. I'd happily come back to explore more of the menu. read more

This BBQ spot exceeded my expectations in every way. The restaurant has a lively yet comfortable vibe, making it a great place for both casual gatherings and special occasions. The dining area was spotless, and you could tell the team takes pride in maintaining a welcoming environment. What truly impressed me was the quality and consistency of the food. The meats were clearly high-grade -- rich marbling, fresh flavor, and incredibly tender once grilled. Every bite was juicy and satisfying. The house marinades were well-balanced and enhanced the natural flavor of the meat without overpowering it. The side dishes were thoughtfully prepared and complemented the BBQ perfectly. The service elevated the entire experience. The staff was attentive, proactive, and genuinely friendly. They helped monitor the grill, replaced it promptly when needed, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the meal. Their professionalism and efficiency really stood out.

Iwaguy continues to impress me every time I visit. I previously left a 5-star review on Thanksgiving Day, and after another wonderful experience, I felt it deserved a second mention -- especially to acknowledge the quality of service we received. The meat remains high-quality and beautifully prepared, and the overall environment is luxurious, modern, and thoughtfully designed. It is truly a great place for special occasions or simply a refined dining experience. This visit, I want to highlight our server, Jeff. His service was exceptional -- he was attentive, patient, and genuinely cared about what each customer needed throughout the meal. It is rare nowadays to come across someone who delivers service with such professionalism, warmth, and composure. His presence elevated our dining experience, and I sincerely hope to be served by him again on future visits. He is an asset to the restaurant and, in my opinion, certainly deserving of recognition -- perhaps even a raise. Highly recommend Iwaguy for its quality, atmosphere, and outstanding staff. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the night out I had at iWagyu. I was contemplating between the Industry location and the Monterey Park location, and this location was great. I called in advance to see if walk ins were accepted being that it's Christmas and it was probably busy. As busy as they were, once I arrived they accommodated me immediately. The cuts were great, and the appetizers were delicious. Christmas music was also playing which helped make the night feel like a special occasion as opposed to a regular day. Overall our service was perfect from our dedicated server, Jeff. He was very attentive, spoke to us about the menu and any time we were confused helped clarify what we had doubts on. He cooks a mean piece of wagyu as well. 5/5 and I would definitely come back here again. I'm not opposed to visiting the other location, but I think I have a favorite so far. read more

This place was totally worth the hype! My friend who's obsessed with Japanese wagyu recommended it, and I'm so glad I went. The restaurant is clean, modern, and has a huge selection -- seriously hard to go wrong here. We tried the M5 wagyu first -- pricey at $68 a slice, but it melts on the grill and tastes just like the real deal in Japan. The $30 membership that gives you a free portion is actually a pretty sweet deal. The Aussie M6-7 skirt was also amazing -- flavorful enough on its own, no sauce needed. Even the yukhoe-style beef surprised me; I don't usually eat raw beef but this was clean and tender. Also, the orange salad was refreshing and perfect to cut through all the richness. Overall, a solid spot -- I'll definitely be back whenever I'm craving wagyu! read more

That being said, I think the price is justified by the quality and selection of the meat. Compared to the basic packages at other KBBQ restaurants, TK92 had a much better variety and the meat tasted fresh and high quality. One of the fun things they do is a timer game when you first arrive--you try to stop the timer at exactly 0.92 seconds for a chance to win a free meal! We were told that people actually do win, so definitely give it a try. They also had a great selection of sides. The Korean pancake was definitely one of my favorites. It was crunchy and super flavorful. Service was good throughout our meal, and parking was really convenient. They have underground parking with a 3-hour time limit, which is more than enough time for KBBQ. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. It's a little pricier than some other KBBQ options, especially since there's no separate lunch pricing, but the meat quality, selection, sides, and overall experience make it worth it. Would definitely recommend!

They had gdragons highball and of course i had to try both. I do prefer the black one over the red. Service wasnt too bad except the server did forget some stuff but when he saw us, he remembered. But we also had a group of 20 so it was probably over whelming. My favorite wouldve been the scallops and beef tongue. Tables are a bit small so it felt like we always had to nake room to squeeze things. Also saw a jinro frog soju machine. Since i didnt get soju im not sure if they offer it to use or if someone brought their own to use.

Parking was also relatively easy. There's plenty of street parking which is free and I believe there is also some garage parking as well. Upon walking into the restaurant, it smelled really good and it did start getting a little busier after we had sat down so we came out a good time. I believe this restaurant is newer, but based off of the reviews and my experience here this place is worth checking out for sure. We got several side dishes that were pretty good. I wish they had fish cakes, but they had the traditional kimchi and potato salad for the main dishes. We ordered the seafood pancake, the cold noodles and the galbi. All of the portions were really big. I came here with a friend, so it was the two of us, and we were able to take a few of the items home as leftovers, seafood pancake was really good. It was crispy. There was a significant amount of seafood in the seafood pancake, and it also came with the sauce. The galbi was also really good. It was flavorful, and the meat was super tender. Last but not least we got the cold noodles. It was served in a big metal bowl with ice in it so it was really cold and delicious and flavorful. Also in a big portion only thing about the cold noodles is that you can't order it to go technically but what you can do is you'll just order the cold noodles at your table and then you can ask for a to go box which I thought was a little strange but was glad that there was a workaround for it. Overall, my experience was really good. I would definitely come back here to try out their other dishes and to even order the same dish cause everything was amazing. The price wasn't too bad as well. I felt like you definitely do get a bang for your book if you come to this restaurant.

My only issue was that the beef was sliced really thin and the portion was pretty small. I understand it's a lunch special, but I'd be willing to pay a little more for a more generous portion of beef. The ambiance was nice, clean, and comfortable, and the service was quick and friendly, which made for a great overall experience. Overall, a decent Korean restaurant to try if you're in the area!

Braised beef ribs hotstone (4/5). The food did not come out all at once especially when we ask for it to be brought out at the same time. The service was ok but they kept asking if we needed anything repetitively so we couldn't really enjoy our food and catch with friends. The restaurant was pretty small but the parking lot was pretty big. Cheesy steamed egg: egg was soft and seasoned well and there was a cheesy pull. One of the best cheesy egg I had Bibimbap: various veggies and a fried egg but it wasn't spicy enough Spicy pork: stir fried pork with veggies but nothing special Braised beef rib hotstone: the meat was very tender and the meat falls off the bone, however it was too bland

One thing I really appreciated was that the sushi uses less rice, so I could enjoy more different kinds of nigiri without feeling too full.

They had our table (for 13) all set up with water, place settings, the works. I love that when I make a reservation they go the extra mile knowing how many are in the party. The food was really good. The self serve bars were clean, well stocked, lots of choices. I truly appreciate for an AYCE that the servings were smaller so you can try more and not fill up too fast. Ordering on the app is super easy and the fresh plates come out immediately. The servers are really good with keeping the table cleared and answering any questions. My only wish, more dessert choices.
