The meat quality is excellent. The banchan variety was great. Service was very good and they help you cook and change the grill at the right time. My only problem was their naengmyun (korean cold noodles) was not good. Broth was not cold enough and little bland and the noodles were not good. I would go back for the meat for sure. read more

Mixed feelings. Could be good. New place. Clean interior. So I was expecting contemporary and good service. Food is good, nothing special. Waitress was nice not seasoned but trying her best. The owner lady was very nice and friendly! What I would expect from someone who just opened their business. Her husband can probably learn a thing or two from her. Owner guy needs to reassess his demeanor. It could be cultural nuances but his customer service skills were that of someone who doesn't care about his business. Maybe he has money to burn because be surely didn't care about securing his customers. He even told us the meat is burning so to hurry up and eat-- rather than being proactive and change the pan for us. Ive never been told to hurry up and eat for the sake of a pan burning. This was when we were the first customer and it was empty so NO EXCUSES. I hate to knock on small business but this experience didn't fly well with my husband nor I. Theyre gonna need to be more competitive. Anyways- The food is pricey, we can get the same quality but better service elsewhere. read more

They newly opened in Palos Verdes area. I like their modern atmosphere. They have decent Korean BBQ menus but pricey because of its location. Their servers are all lack of customer service especially young guy dudes. read more

I was very excited to see K BBQ in the neighborhood because we always have to drive down to Gardena. Seeing all these stars we were excited to try this place out. Plus we love supporting local businesses. HOWEVER I don't even want to waste time leaving a long review for this place. Two stars because - so unorganized - people who came after us got their food but we had to just wait because the waiters including the owner had no idea what they were doing - no one came around to the table the whole time. - gave us the wrong soup - Owner (man) could care less about anything. He pretty much didn't care how unpleasant we were with the experience We'll just drive down to Gardena This owner doesn't deserve our business with his BIG HEAD with no customer service in mind. read more

Only Korean restaurant at the hill.., Bit pricy, but good quality meat and good service.., we dined at 8pm.., so not a busy Wednesday night. We ordered mid level set BBQ dinner.., menu noted 2-3 persons quantity..., but just enough for dad and daughter dinner. All banchan, [korean side dishes] were..., just ok, kinda mild for hard core Korean palette..., but still good, as we finished "everything". There are better options down the hill..., but this will do for us when we don't want to drive 30+ minutes for k-food fix. Clean and modern ambiance.., Hope they stay in business..., as I've seen a huge turnover of new restaurants up the hill, read more

Wow this is the last kind of place I would expect to find in the area and I am happy to report that it was fantastic. I am not sure every table gets this, but ours had some coaching, good recommendations, and support at the grill throughout the entire meal. Meat quality was top notch and the sides were plentiful and delicious. I will 100% be returning again. read more

I paid $200 for 4 people The food was only ok The service was not very good I believe I was over charged but they didn't give me a receipt so I can't find out how much I was overcharged I would not recommend this Restaurant based on my experience (September 7,2024) read more

FINALLY a legit KBBQ joint on the hill. High quality meats. Spectacular, attentive and friendly servers also cook for you at times. Ventilation was top notch. Unlimited yummy banchans. Grills frequently changed. We chose to do the mid range combo. We will return to try the other combos. Customers are able to call in ahead for reservations. read more

We are so excited to have a KBBQ up in the hill. The meat quality is good and servers are sweet and accommodating. They do get busy so try to get a reservation when possible. Slightly pricier than the usually Kbbq but the ambiance, banchans are tasty, and quality meat is worth it. The owner is really nice to us so Im actually pretty surprised at the other comments. read more

Kim's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Rolling Hills Estates, California

I'm going to say it. The best restaurant in palos verdes peninsula for foodies. They're in the midst of a soft opening so they pared down the menu to barbecue options but the quality and the quantity is more than fitting for the price they charge. Ever cut of meet on the premium combo was delicious, next level up from baekjong. Pro tip get the non marinated short rib instead of marinated option. Lightly dip it in the salt and it just melts in your mouth. The owners used to run a shabu shabu restaurant in Diamond bar so they got the hook up for high quality US prime meat. They plan on having more option's later once they can hire enough staff. I just want naengmyun and then I'll never have to go to Torrance or Ktown again. read more

Very clean and options for vegans and vegetarians! The veggies were fresh and all the side dishes were delicious! what a fun experience and great service. The meat eaters in our group cooked from one grill while the veggie consumers cooked from another. No oil, very healthy! May be the best restaurant in PV! read more

I am so happy there's finally a korean bbq restaurant in palos verdes!! I honestly didnt know what to expect. My friend was going to give me the feed back after trying out on their grand opening night. She gave me a thumbs up so I went with my friend today. Its simple, nicely decorated, not too fancy but pretty modern interior. Server was very friendly, meat was delicious! We ordered premium combo between 3 of us and it was plenty of meat, we were stuffed. Rest of side dishes were also delicious, we got it refilled many times because we liked it. We were so happy we don't have to drive far to have kbbq anymore. We used to drive down to back jung in Torrance which is not too far but still 25 min drive and food is even better than baek jung! I just hope they stay this way and stick around for long time! read more

Kim's BBQ - Premium combo and there's more meat its not showing in the picture. - Barbeque Near Me - Rolling Hills Estates, California

Good food. Only negative regarding the food is that I thought when you go to bbq all the side dishes are all you can eat.... normally that's what I am used to and it is mostly true unless you want more salad/lettuce then that costs more. Seems unreasonable since they only give enough for one person. read more

HOLY MOLY. Thank goodness for another asian spot opening in PV. We've been waiting for this spot to open for so freakin long. Made it to lunch for their grand opening!! In short, it is a korean BBQ restaurant with many other lunch options. The ambience is modern, trendy, and CLEAN! Bathrooms are gorgeous too! Food is AMAZING. I'm Korean and I vouch for the sides. We asked for refills on the sides 5x I had their lunch hot stone bi bim bab. From the presentation to taste, everything was exquisite. (Don't @ me) I'm stingy with tipping, but it was so easy to leave a hefty tip for this place. Thank you for opening and we can't wait to be back. read more

Great new addition to the hill. Great service, good selection and nice people. Go there now!!

Mannnn...living in LA, I have been to a lot of Korean bbq restaurants. In my younger years you'd find me tearing up that AYCE circuit in Ktown with the cheaper meat, the quantity over the quality. This is not that. With age comes wisdom and the inability to cut the belly fat after eating AYCE. Quality over quantity now, just for the sake of my mental health and so I can see my feet when I look down. Every cut of meat here is USDA Prime. The marbling was incredible. The fiancée and I ordered the LUXE combo, which is probably meant for 3, but we thought we were up for the challenge. The portion was humongous for two and both of us always are big eaters, but still, there were considerable leftovers. The star of the show was the short rib that came on a tomahawk style bone. I'm not one for hyperbole, but those pieces of meat may have been the best I've had ever. The meat melted in my mouth with the juices tantalizing every taste bud. Don't be nasty. It was delicious. I haven't even touched on the sides, which were great as well. I'm a kimchi and side fiend. The owner told us that everything was made in house and they were refilled sometimes without us even asking. Well, with all the leftovers, it's meat for tomorrows lunch...nvm my fiancée is definitely gonna steal it. The meal is a bit on the pricier side but the quality of the meat made it feel like I was the one getting the deal. No more AYCEs for me. Next time I'm craving that meat, im driving all the way from LA back to Kim's BBQ. read more

Don't usually post but had to based on recent experience - everything is over priced but very convenient on the hill and meat quality is decent but the service is terrible especially the owner who is focused on the bottom line and turning tables vs appreciating neighborhood repeat customers - will not go back any more and will go to Gardena and koreatown for better service and price point and experience. read more

Location was clean and service was good, but food is very overpriced. Sone items also lack flavor

Have you ever been told not to come to a restaurant at dinner time to have a drink?! I was !!! Unfortunately I was 20min early for a massage at Massage Envy 2 doors down from this place. So I thought I would have a beer, and do some work before my appt. I even asked the waiter "can I just have a beer?Where should I sit I asked-at the end booth"-so I did. Got my beer, had to wave the waiter down to get my bill. Had my money ready ($22.82) and waited, waited and waited. Not wanting to be late for my 630p appt I took my cash to the register where an older "gentleman" said-don't come to have a drink during dinner hours." I couldn't believe my ears so I asked him to repeat himself, and he said the same thing. So I said- "ok-I won't come here. I won't come here even to eat. Look at all the open tables you have (1/2 a dozen)." I left saying "horrible customer service". $10.82 for a beer I didn't finish and 20min of sitting a booth = $2 a min to sit in their precious booth. Is there a neg 5 stars for customer service!!!! Yes-I was willing to leave a $2 dollar (20%) for a beer I didn't finish until I heard this man's attitude! He spoke perfect English. Apparently they only want you to go there to have $132 meal that feeds 2-4 people = $66 for 2 and $33 for 4. CAN you say "let me kill my business" w/this MAGNA NEGATIVE REVIEW, and I didn't even eat the food! I have always hesitated going into this establishment for fear of bad service which came to fruition today over a beer. This is the second review in 5yrs I've written on Yelp, and it was another Korean establishment where I spent $20 for a bowl w/a raw egg that I thought I was going to get salmonella from in Del Amo Mall which has since closed. They offered me a free meal. I stated "no thank you". Don't write reviews to get a free meal, write it warn people. My time is too precious! Signed a doctor known on the hill and internet-BAD mistake "Sir". read more

My dad was in town so I decided to treat him to Kbbq before his flight the next day. We were a party of 4 (including a child) and one combo was enough to feed all of us. I was a little bummed that we needed to pay extra for salad. The combo came with a tiny bowl of salad but definitely wasn't enough for everyone. Stews are also extra but portions are very small and maybe it was just a one-off but the soy bean stew was sadly too salty that evening. I will say that meat quality is great and servers were kind but service was extremely slow on a weeknight. There were only 4 tables occupied and it was hard tracking someone down just to get a bowl of rice or a side dish. I was a little disappointed considering we splurged that evening but again, it may have been one of those evenings. Maybe we'll have a different experience next time. read more

Excellent Korean BBQ. Highly recommend. Perfect for the family - order the Cass beer. The beef is all on point, the pork "Smagyupsal" is excellent. The side dishes are perfect. Great service - make this a regular for you family so they stay in business and keep our tummies happy. read more

Legit quality meats, friendly staff, really satisfying. The corn and cheese, bibimbap, try it all with a bbq combo.

This place is very clean and everything inside is new. The convenience is also a big plus, seeing how it is the only Korean BBQ place on the peninsula. We ordered the meat combo, and the waiters helped us cook everything. The meat quality was pretty good. I wouldn't say the best I've ever had, but there was nothing to complain about. The steamed egg, and the seafood pancake was a really big hit with my kids. Definitely recommend. I've read some negative reviews about the owner here. The deed that will absolutely make us return, was that I dropped my ID before leaving. Later that night, the owner himself returned my ID to our house. It was a really thoughtful gesture and was super appreciated. Seems like a genuinely nice person to me. Thank you again, and we will be back! read more

I'm so happy they opened in PV! It's like our own Korean bbq in PV lol. I love love love everything we ordered, the prices are very very reasonable. They have really high quality meats and the banchan is bombbb. They have incredible TOGO bento boxes! It kinda reminds me of spoon in la that closed a while ago, it's like a lunch box with 10000 items. You have to order 4 at a time though. I def want to try to order that soon. The have a bomb selection of Korean beer too. I can't wait to come back many many more times now that we have this treasure in PV. read more

Employees are friendly and attentive. The food is high quality and delicious. This is my new favorite place to eat on the Hill.
