This is hands down one of the best Korean BBQ restaurants in Koreatown! The quality of the food was outstanding. Every side dish was fresh and flavorful, and the meats were incredibly fresh. The frozen pork belly, beef tartare, and beef brisket were absolute favorites, each one was delicious and perfectly prepared. What really made this place stand out was the exceptional service. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. It's not easy to find a restaurant that delivers both amazing food and outstanding hospitality, but this place does exactly that. If you're a Korean BBQ lover, this spot is a must visit. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Overall, this is my favorite kbbq spot in LA. I always bring friends and family who are visiting here and the experience has overall been very enjoyable. The staff have usually been attentive. Anything we asked for was graciously fulfilled and in a timely manner. Tonight, I came with two friends. It was the busiest I have ever seen the restaurant! Every table was taken and we got the last available table! Meat quality is always excellent. The problem I had tonight was the attentiveness. Our meat was cooking on the grill for a while and I took the initiative to move it to the side so they wouldn't be overcooked. Any other time, the staff will cook it from start to finish. I would blame it on how busy it was but there were a number of times that the staff was standing around talking to each other. Our water pitcher was empty and on the edge of the table but the staff never came to check on it. I also had to ask for sesame oil multiple times. They also usually bring the sesame oil out with some salt but they never brought out any salt. Today could have been a one off experience but what I'm hoping doesn't happen is that the restaurant loses its excellent customer service over time. Still would highly recommend. read more

We came in a party of 11 people, but because their tables are set in stone, we were not able to combine the tables to have the whole group together. The bbq sets came with Tteokbokki, Gyeranjim (Steam Egg), and a Kimchi + Minari (Korean parsley) fried rice at the end. They were all great!! Meat quality was great too, especially the galbi. The galbi comes with a garlic dipping sauce. Overall great Kbbq spot, but not my favourite based on personal preference. Service was also great. read more

K Team BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Luckily I was able to snag a spot with a group of friends at K Team BBQ to watch the World Cup game and we had an amazing time (despite the Korea team loss). The restaurant is casual and clean and I loved the tile tabletops. Service was so attentive, the meats were cooked perfectly, and the grill was kept nicely organized throughout our whole meal. Everything is ordered a la carte and all the meats and banchan were simply so good and of great quality. The pork belly and pork jowl were amazing and we really enjoyed the beef brisket too. The steamed egg is so wonderfully fluffy. They provide lettuce and perilla leaves to wrap your meat in as well. Parking lot available with valet. read more

K Team BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great services! Very tentative when they cooked for you, ensuring the meats cooked evenly and not burnt. They automatically refilled the sides and asked whether you need anything else or extra. Very generous sides/banchan and soooo tasty. Stand out for me are the fresh perilla leaves and crunchy cucumber side. Galbi is very tender and slightly marinated. The garlic butter that came with it gave it a nice touch. Make sure you dip all the to the bottom and bring it up for more garlic bits. Others meats were alright. Steamed egg and tteokbokki came with the meal, free is always a plus. read more

Was very impressed by this KBBQ place! Parking lot is free for lunch but they start charging in the afternoon. We went on a Sunday and everything tasted fresh, all the meats were good quality and there was an abundance of sides to wrap our food with. The price is very reasonable for the amount of food you get too! This has become one of my top KBBQ places, especially because they provide perilla leaves. I usually find the side meals to be very mid but here the spicy rice cakes were so addicting and the steamed egg has so much flavor! I also couldn't get enough of the green onion salad. We also got Kteam galbi which was insane with the butter and the ribeye brisket. I loved all the pork we ordered (pork neck, pork jowl), you probably can't go wrong here. read more

Finally got around to trying this place after it was heavily recommended by some friends and I think I've found my new favorite kbbq spot. Although it is a bit of a trek to get to ktown, I think if anything brings us in the area, we will be torn between here and Han Baht. (Yes, it's that good). First, service is insane. The most attentive servers that really check your table to see if anything needs topping up before you have to ask. They also cook the food for you. Meat quality is good but everything that it comes with is even more impressive (see pictures). We also added a Kimchi stew, foolishly thinking we might need more food, it was probably the best Kimchi stew we've had in a while! Mind you, we came for lunch on a Saturday and were one of two tables. Valet parking for $3 (cash only). read more

Much more intimate than Parks across the street and yes they do cook for you too. I would suggest making reservations at least a day ahead if you want to eat here. It's usually crowded and getting a table for four can be difficult. The quality and service is exceptional. The kimchi fried rice (see pictures) was my favorite and was as good as it looks. Parking is impossible unless you valet or get lucky on the street. read more

The pork belly KBBQ was really good,flavorful and well cooked. I also loved the variety of side dishes, and the kimchi fried rice was delicious and satisfying. The service could be better,we had to get the waiter's attention a couple of times,which took away a bit from the overall experience, but the food itself makes it worth trying. read more

We used to go to Parks bbq because their meat quality and side dishes(banchan) are the best. This restaurant is owned by same person so we tried here today. We had beef tung(woo sul) and beef rib(galbi). Can't beat the quality but still pretty good. Side dishes were minimum but there were vegies, egg pot and spicy rice cake pot for free. We ordered kimchi fried rice after and it was good as well. Overall service is good and atmosphere is fun for young generation. I liked the theme. read more

Visited KTeam BBQ and had a fantastic meal. The brisket was tender, smoky, and full of flavor. The galbi was equally impressive, perfectly marinated and cooked just right. The banchan complemented everything well and added variety to the meal without overpowering the main dishes. Each bite was satisfying and left me completely happy with the spread. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the food. Definitely a spot I would come back to again and again. read more

I've been looking for a new KBBQ place to take my family and I came across this online. I saw someone posted a photo of the checker pattern tables and I thought it was different from other KBBQ place. I called and surprisingly they take reservation! I was so happy because I hate waiting in line. Imagine waiting on a Friday for dinner. It was for a party of 4 and I arrived 20 mins early . They were able to seat us right away. The menu is simple and easy to read. Here's what we got for the table: Steamed egg Spicy rice cake Beef tongue Beef brisket Thin frozen pork belly x 2 Spicy acorn noodle Kimchi fried rice Terra x 2 Diet Coke Service was great! The ladies are so nice and they cook for you. Looking around I think this restaurant is best for a group of 4 or a group of 6. I loved everything we ate here and if I did not mention this already, it is not AYCE. I miss having potato as a side dish and would have loved to see it offered here. They do offer more condiments than other places and my family wants to go back again next week. Parking was not difficult since it's valet. I believe it was $3, very reasonable. read more

Got treated to K Team for my birthday! I don't eat beef so I'm always on the prowl for kbbq places with solid pork options and this place doesn't disappoint. Jowl and pork belly are stellar! The side of eggs and rice cake also came as a pleasant surprise so we over ordered a little. The meat got cooked alongside some of the kimchi so it absorbed the fat and was extra flavorful! One of my favorites was the kimchi pancake because it was so thin and crispy. Most restaurants have thicker slices, but it was just perfect here. Parking is "valet" (there's basically someone managing parking in the plaza) so helps to have cash for that. It's a bit small on the inside, but we somehow didn't have a wait. It can get pretty loud in there, but nothing too crazy. Can't wait to come back! read more

This place is great for non ayce kbbq. The atmosphere is lively. It's loud but not loud enough to where you can't converse with your friends and the servers and service is very good and easy to get ahold of. Almost all the meats we got were excellent. The only one we were ok with was the short rib. The pork jowl was amazing. Same for the beef tongue and brisket. The pork belly was also very flavorful! The banchan was pretty good though it seemed to be missing a few of what I'm use to. However the banchan itself was very high quality. At the end you can ask for the fried rice with egg after the grilling is done and all that's left is veggies. The steamed egg and kimchi Jjigae is a must for sides. This place takes reservations thankfully. Parking is going to be valet only unless you find street parking which is a whole mission in and of itself. Pricing wise. I didn't end up spending more than 60 surprisingly when with alcohol and a large group. Highly recommend this place for high quality mid-range kbbq. read more

Very high quality meats for a slightly more affordable price, they are affiliated with Parks BBQ which is my favorite spot in all of LA. Really enjoyed the steamed egg, ssam spread, and the grilled kimchi and banchan that accompanied our order. They have Parks Beer here too, which we loved at Parks BBQ, and is definitely a must try. The vibes were young and clean and nice, and I'd definitely come again. read more

This was our first time here, and we enjoyed it! The vibe is casual and welcoming. We ordered a variety of meats, including both thin and thick cuts of pork, as well as skirt meat. The quality of meat did not disappoint. I appreciated that they brought out different types of kimchi to cook alongside the meat. They provided ssam (assorted lettuce, perilla leaves, and my favorite, rice cakes) which was a nice touch. We also ordered dwaenjangjjigae, which was flavorful. As complimentary service, they gave us ddukbokki and gaeranjjim (thank you, K team BBQ!). The ddukbokki was surprisingly good, with a kick of spice and a peppery flavor. To top it off, we ordered bokeumbap with the left over pork oil and it tasted great with the rice being crispy on the bottom. I think our family has found our new go-to Korean BBQ place. Overall, I'd rate food as a 4.3, but because of service I'm rounding it to 5!! read more

We come to K Team BBQ all the time, and our must-orders never change: the flash-frozen pork belly and the pork jowl (pre-grilled), plus the minari veggie platter. It's our go-to combo every time. They always start you off with steamed egg and tteokbokki, and honestly the tteokbokki is so good. I also love how they grill the green onion kimchi together with the meat--perfect pairing. And if you wrap the meat with minari, the aroma is amazing. At the end, they grill the potatoes from the veggie platter on the hot plate. Lots of black pepper, super flavorful--wanted to eat more but we were already too full. We still need to come back just to try the kimchi fried rice and noodles because we never have space left. Finished the meal with the Korean-style ice cream for dessert. Perfect ending. read more

One of the best k-BBQ places! They don't take reservations and it is a wait but worth it! They give you bonchon galore and of course it's unlimited - you just have to ask for more. Even the rice and perilla leaves are free! For those of you who like to cook it yourself, this is not the place for you but if you're willing to let someone else pamper you, you'll definitely want to try it! The bone in kalbi is a must! Melts in your mouth! Don't forget to gnaw on the bone and get your inner caveman on hehehe I only put one star less because there's a wait and you can't make reservations. read more

Disappointing. Arrived, and their chairs are so small, two of the members of our party could not use them. Weird plastic bucket things. As we left, the host shrugged unapologetically. It doesn't matter how good the food is if your restaurant is not welcoming to all people. read more

Hits all the notes. A solid menu. Limited but has all the best food. The waiters are always super attentive and the grill is kept very clean and organized. Not as expensive as Parks (about half) and is cleaner inside and has fresher banchan and meat. Better for vegetarians too. This is our fav Korean bbq spot. Thick and big serving of kimchi. Generous meat servings. Delicious. read more

This might be my new favorite Kbbq spot in Ktown. Arrived at a tiny parking lot (they do valet for $3) and a packed restaurant but luckily we made reservations (highly recommended). Ordered brisket, thick pork belly, rib eye, and Galbi and ohhhhh man they were all so good. The quality of the meats here is just different - everything was mouth watering and paired perfectly with the banchan. The servers cooked for us which was fire as they were very attentive. Also ordered a steam egg and kimchi fried rice which was overkill as we were stuffed. Overall pretty small place compared to other Kbbq spots, but better quality than most. Definitely coming back for more! read more

* valet parking $3 * amazing service * good quality meat * clean space * reservations We made reservations for a party of 8 and the tables were ready before we were ready. It's one of the few places that took reservations in Korea town for a party so big. We thoroughly enjoyed everything on the menu. We ordered - beef tongue - beef brisket - pork neck - pork belly - pork jowl - cold buckwheat noodles It was all so delicious. Our favorite two meat was the PORK NECK MEAT and PORK JOWL. They were greatly served with the spicy kimchi that was being grilled on the bottom with all the meat oil. One thing I didn't really like about their menu was that I don't think their menu was kid friendly at all. Most of the food were geared towards adults. For my child, he only ate the meat + rice + steamed egg. There wasn't anything else that he could eat since it was all spicy read more

New kbbq spot so we gave it a try. A very solid restaurant and I loved the interior. Talk about value..we got a combo I forget, but it came with all the vegetables and side items that you'd traditionally order separately! The meat was very good and my friend loved it as well. Solid choice! Service was good..but almost too attentive. I'd recommend go away for a bit so that the party can hold a conversation without the staff lingering over and flipping frequently. I love it! But please give some space, haha. All in all 5 star service. If you're thinking about this place give it a try! I recommend as I'd come back myself. read more

K Team BBQ is one of my favorite KBBQ spots, hands down. If you go right when they open for dinner, the service is super attentive and everything moves smoothly. Once it gets busy, it slows down a bit--but honestly, their service is still better than most KBBQ places I've been to. Food-wise, everything hits. The frozen thin pork belly is a classic and always delivers. There's something about that small cast iron grill they use--it just makes everything taste better. Definitely recommend grilling up some extra kimchi and green onion kimchi too, it adds so much flavor. We usually go all in and get a mix of things--ribeye, brisket, thick and thin pork belly, kimchi jjigae--all solid. And don't skip the fried rice at the end. They mix in perilla leaves, which adds a nice herby finish. The steamed egg is also surprisingly good--really well-seasoned, soft, and comforting. It's a spot I keep coming back to. Great food, solid service (especially early on), and a cozy setup that makes everything taste even better. read more

food and ambiance was fine nothing really special. The main problem was the moment my family sat down. Right when we got seated a waitress knocked over a beer glass and the shards were in-between the two tables. Some of the glass managed to drop onto our side of the table. The waitress immediately started to pick up the glass on the floor and cleaned only in between the tables but did not check our side to see if there were anymore glass. They did not even ask us if we were okay or if we were hurt. As we paid our bill we were about to head out until i saw my sister started to limp to the door to take a seat. As she took off her sandal she noticed a piece of glass was there that cut her foot. So I went to the front and explained the situation. I also asked if they had any alcohol wipes or any bandages to help clean up her wound. Of course they did not. So we had no choice but to leave. Terrible will not be coming back again read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This used to be one of my go-to spots, but tonight was unacceptable. I made a reservation and they gave our table away, then made us wait while open tables sat empty. Strike one. Ordering was confusing, and when I tried to clarify, the server insisted everything was fine and refused to adjust anything. Later, when I questioned the order, he raised his voice at me in front of my daughter and told me I was wrong. Completely unprofessional. Never in my life you have I have a server raise their voice at me publicly!!! To make it worse, when I asked for a manager, they refused to provide one or give any contact info. $150 bill for rude service, poor management, and a frustrating experience. I won't be coming back. read more

Wait Time: Visited on a Sunday night, and the wait was less than 5 minutes. We were seated very quickly, which was a great start. Parking: There's very limited parking space, so be prepared to park on the street. Food: We ordered beef brisket, thin-sliced pork belly, and the veggie combo. The food came out quickly, and the meat was fresh and flavorful. They also served steamed egg and rice cake soup, which were nice additions. Customer Service: The staff assisted with cooking, which made our dining experience much more enjoyable. K team BBQ is a clean restaurant with chic tile tabletop. Overall, I had a great experience and enjoyed the food and service at K-team BBQ. read more

Thinly sliced pork belly -- every single time. There's just something unbeatable about wrapping up a long day with some sizzling samgyeopsal and a cold shot of soju. For Koreans, it's more than a meal -- it's a daily ritual. We grew up watching our parents do the same. Back in the day, coal miners would come home after a long shift and wash down the dust and fatigue with fatty pork and soju. That tradition stuck with us. Anytime we've put in hard work, our minds go straight to samgyeopsal and soju. That's why K Team is such a gem in Koreatown. Opened by seasoned pros who really know the ins and outs of the K-town dining scene, this spot just gets it. The retro vibes, nostalgic music, attentive service, and consistently fresh meat and banchan (side dishes) -- everything is on point. And let's talk about their thinly sliced pork belly -- it's their signature dish for a reason. It's always fresh, perfectly cooked, and insanely satisfying. Because of how well they run things, the turnover here is super fast -- meaning shorter wait times than most other Korean BBQ spots in the area. If you're craving quality Korean BBQ with no fuss and all the flavor -- this is the place. Highly recommend. Gunbae! read more

Parks, but Pork Centric. In a see of the new pork centric kbbq spots popping up around ktown Kteam from Parks stands out. Not only are you going to get the signature banchan you might know or love from Parks themselves you're getting some solid pork on top of that. Came in and grabbed one of the combos midweek and man this place is still poppin. The place was full around 8pm and we got a seat after a short 15 minute wait. The thin pork belly here was really nice, and as always the servers know what theyre doing when they cook for you. When you pair up the pork with the banchan and wrap them up in that ssam every bite is really enjoyable! We got the bokkeumbap at the end which was a little addition but honestly its worth it for sure. High quality meat, even better banchan, and servers that know how to grill up the meat just right, and we have a welcome addition to the neighborhood. If you've been thinking about checking this spot out definitely do! read more

K Team BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

When I heard a new Korean BBQ restaurant had opened, I was so excited to try it. I heard that it was opened by the same owner at Park's BBQ, just a couple blocks away, so my expectations were high. I could be wrong though.   However, I was let down. The service was mediocre, and the food was very disappointing. For the price I paid, it really wasn't worth it at all. The whole concept of frozen pork belly in Korea is supposed to be relatively cheap, but it is more expensive than just regular thick pork belly. Some of the veggies that complement pork belly, like Minari, were all extra cost, like every single thing.   Fried rice at the end wasn't impressive either. I just did not enjoy the food here at all. It was a one-time thing for me, surely. I have my go-to for pork belly, and it is not frozen pork belly where it is thinly sliced and cooked on aluminum foil, but I would rather have real thick pork belly if I am going to be overcharged for such a small portion for the price. It is quite funny because we were going to order more in the beginning, and the server assured us that it was too much food, so we listened and ordered less than we intended to. We should not have listened, because it was not enough, even for just one person. Trust me, I have a small appetite too. read more

Visiting LA on weekends are so hard... I have to pick and choose 2-3 restaurants to go to ... I wish I had unlimited funds and unlimited stomach space to visit at least 10 HAHAHA One of places on my "must try" was KTEAM BBQ; after hearing this establishment was created by the founders of Parks BBQ, I was borderline obsessed over it and kept checking their social media pages to look at photos HAHAHA The casual and retro vibes inside draw you in instantly as you walk in. Some Korean-born or raised individuals might understand the retro vibes of this place... it weirdly reminds you of Korea, like you've been here when you were a kid. Some of you may know, because I repeatedly have announced it, I am not a fan of pork... but I had to try Kteam...so here is my opinion about it! Their most popular menu is the thinly frozen pork belly, I never thought I'd voluntarily order pork ever in my life but I did it and it wasn't bad. Because it was thinly sliced and there were many condiments, I didn't taste any "porkiness" and it was delicious actually! I thought I was brave but when the pork jowl came out... I had to take two steps back... it just looked so intimidating! My ... chicken ass couldn't do it... and let the others in my party enjoy it without me. I ordered the brisket for myself HAHAHA and of course it was excellent. I highly recommend you order the sides; pollack roe, water parsley and veggies. These seemingly "nothing-really-special" sides amplified the experience! The pollack roe was a gem with the fried rice we ordered at the end of the meal! Okay, this probably push my stomach's limits but their tteokbokki is FREAKISHLY delicious too-- yeah why order tteokbokki at a kbbq place? I don't know I just had to and I don't regret it one bit! I am very happy that I got to try Kteam while I was on a short trip to LA and I absolutely plan on being back. read more

Taking a friend out for duck but they sold out so we ended up here. I saw the prices but my brain... failed me lol. I'm used to ayce k bbq and I'm sorry it's just not worth it for this price. I can appreciate that it's a cultural experience and what goes along with that, it's not bad by any means, just a better value at ayce. I like the way they have the seats so you can store your things, since seating is tight. It was raining the day we went. I had my coat on the back of the chair but it was basically on the floor lol. We did brisket and thick pork belly. I guess the quality was supposed to be better? No way it was $80 worth of food tho. They kinda cook it for you. Nice platter it comes with. I was putting I believe it was sesame leaves with my rice wrap roll ups, I wanted to order more, $4! It's just principle at this point. W tip I spent $100 for two meats. I don't feel it was worth it when I could've gotten ayce for two for less. Again I take responsibility bc I looked at the menu before going. I read a write up in the Times. The place itself is cute. We ended up in a corner, but I appreciated that, no one was next to us. The seats are very cute, just low. I put my coat on the "back" of mine and it was basically on the floor lol. But the innovation behind the design was undeniably cool. Service was good, they overcharged my sparkling water but quickly fixed it. The food was good but no different from a less spendy ayce. If it's cultural and nostalgic I understand, otherwise I'd try something different, especially if it's your first k bbq experience. read more

This is a solid casual Korean BBQ spot. We came for a weekend lunch, and it wasn't too busy--only about three other tables, which made for a relaxed experience. We ordered the brisket and boneless short rib, both of which were better than average in quality--fresh, flavorful, and cooked beautifully. However, my boyfriend was disappointed by the lack of banchan. At most Korean restaurants, complimentary side dishes are part of the experience, but here, everything was a la carte, which took away from the usual KBBQ vibe. That said, the ambience feels new and clean, and it's still a great spot for a casual, no-fuss KBBQ meal. Worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

Came here based on a friend's suggestion. We went with their specialty, frozen pork and pork jowl. The banchan was plentiful and delicious. And we ordered the Kim chee fried rice as a finisher for dinner. A must get! The service was great! And we were able to walk right in to a table on a Friday night. We got lucky. We also got popsicles to end the meal. read more
