First off, I love there wasn't a wait. Second, there's plenty of seating. And third, all you can LA Galbi!! I will say the meat quality is decent. We ordered brisket, pork belly, beef belly and more and although they might not be the most premium, it's definitely good and worth it. But the star was definitely the LA Galbi. It was marinated perfectly and the cuts were very nice. The staff was very friendly and attentive and made the experience much better. They were on top of distributing the meats and changing our grill without even mentioning it. Another perk, is that they have a full bar so you can definitely get a nice drink while you eat. For $49pp I think this is a great deal.

This is my favorite KBBQ place in LA! Reasons why I love this place:…read more-quick seating with no crazy lines -great selection of side dishes -food is delicious and consistent -excellent customer service -busy, but not super busy or too loud -plentiful parking -reasonable price for service and food I've been to other higher-end and more popular restaurants in Ktown, but find them to be too long of a wait and over-hyped. This place is definitely underrated. Keep up the great service!

I never knew about this chain of restaurants until yesterday when we were expecting to be in…read moreHollywood too late to return home to Thousand Oaks before they roll up the sidewalks. They "close" at 10:30 (the place was still hopping at 10) and we arrived at a little past 9:00, figuring at that hour we wouldn't need a reservation. Think again, the place was just one click shy of a madhouse. The bar was lively and the tables were occupied mostly by 20-30 somethings in crocks and belly shirts, jabbing food in the mini fire pits and shoveling it in their mouths with the authority of hungry guard dogs. We had to wait 10 minutes or so, for a table and another 7 or so for our server to appear. It gave us a chance to peruse the menus. Yes, menus, plural. There are three laminated ones and a book with pages. Given how extensive the food menus are, the drink menu was a little unimpressive. The sake list had a few things listed, not including a Nigori. The white wine had two, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. We like Sauvignon Blancs but ordered the Pinot Grigio. Mezza Corona. That's what casinos comp pour at the slots in Vegas. It was fine, but not optimum. Overwhelmed by the menus and not particularly craving one thing, we decided to order the "Anniversary" dinner for two. It was a set combination of mostly proteins with the house salad and miso soup. The "poke" wasn't the usual gooey stuff seen in most raw places. It was perfect little cubes of ahi and marinated onions over a bed of pickled seaweed. The salad was large and simple, with a sesame dressing. Then... omg the proteins started to appear. Every single one was delicious. We found that putting the pork belly on the grill helped to keep the following proteins from sticking. The rice was beautifully steamed. The miso soup was even the best I've had in a long time, with lots of tofu and seaweed sinking to the bottom. I can see how this would be a great place for a group, and I can't wait to go with more friends; albeit my husband and I really enjoyed the respite. Our server, Cole, was cool and real. He didn't seem to need to pretend to be nice. He was just a sincere, caring young man. Their happy hour times are worth noting. They're happy throughout the day and night with the exception of 6:30 - 8:30 pm. There is a happy hour combination menu you might want to consider, especially if you've never been here and just want to see what's going on. There are AYCE choices which might come in handy if you're really into some favorites. There's also a big thing about Wagyu. Eh. Different strokes I guess. We'll definitely be back. We really enjoyed the experience. We reduced one star for the silly valet parking and the not-so-great wine list.

Very attentive to everyone, which is kind of amazing. We mostly went during lunch time, early to beat the crowd.... I recommend getting there early because the place is small compared to K-town restaurants. And the place got full quickly, and the outside seating too. I love the food especially because it tastes familiar just like when my mom or her relatives cooked for us especially. Just perfect...5 Stars‼

When we first entered, there was a sign that said 15% gratuity will be added to every table. It is easy to miss so it'll be good to be aware of that so you're not surprised later. All the workers were attentive and nicer Meat was also good quality. The only downside was how salty everything was. The side dishes were salty and the soups were ordered were also salty. The soybean soup was salty to the point we had to ask them to take it back. There was radish soup...which tasted exactly like radish in water...that wasn't salty so we had to mix the leek soup with the radish soup to make it less salty but overall...everything was salty. It's a kbbq place so as long as the meat is good I think we're good. Just be warned that aside from the meat, the food can be a bit salty.

My son didn't make a reservation because it was a Wednesday night and he didn't think it would be crowded. But with 5 adults and a baby carriage, we had to wait for the right table because the somewhat small restaurant was full. We soon got a good spot and ordered the shrimp ceviche and the pan fried dumplings for appetizers. The ceviche was served on a bed of crispy noodles and it was refreshing and satisfying. The dumplings were crispy, not greasy, and flavorful. For dinner, we got 2 orders of japchae and 3 orders of bibimbap. With 2 Korean-born children and having visited the country, those are among our family's favorite dishes. And they did not disappoint. The japchae noodles were just right. They were not too firm and not too soft and well-seasoned. With a mixture of veggies, meat, mushrooms, eggs, and that delectable sauce, the bibimbap tickled and satiated the tastebuds. I told the server there was a birthday at the table and she brought out an excellent creme brulee with a candle in it. My husband and I didn't pay the bill. But the prices were reasonable with most of the entrees costing less than $20 each. We have four more days in town and may very well make another visit to indulge in that scrumptious food.
