    Sides
    Noah M.

    The Baseline: For Korean BBQ restaurant the grill meats must be quality, the table set up must be functional, and the accompanying sides must work with the meat. Food: This is not an all-you-can-eat KBBQ and that is just fine. Selection your level of food intake with an assortment of great choices that come with great sides. I sometimes prefer this over AYCE KBBQ because I like my lunches the next day with all that was cooked. Service: Great service and proper grill change outs. The team members will also help out on the cooking duties and are very attentive. Ambiance: No frills and super nice restaurant with a great layout. Very clean restroom and general cleanliness in the restaurant.

    Baekjeong who? Trust, King Chang is so good too, we actually ended up liking it more and now it's our go to. I noticed that the meat here is better quality as well. We get their beef combo and it's delicious! They have a good amount of menu items if you don't feel like having korean bbq. Their noodles are really good and their fries. Also if you like intestines, this is a place for you! Very authentic Korean BBQ spot! The service is great as well, very friendly workers and they're quick and attentive. Def our new go to! Can't wait to be back!

    Got the king chang combo and a large beef. The meat and the onions were really good. Overall food quality was really good. I really like their pancakes. It was thin and crispy. Wished we ordered more but we had so much meat. The server who was cooking our meat said she was going to give us another pork jowl becuase she burnt it. When we looked at it , it didnt look bad. i guess it was because there was charred marked on it? But it was nice of her to change it and recook new ones for us.

    Incredible meat quality & 5 star service Walked in on Friday night & was left so amazed

    This is the OG intestines Korean restaurant in OC. I have not been back here for a while but the quality is the same. Loved the intestines combo and perfect with beer or soju. The prime boneless short ribs was amazing. The service was great and we loved dinning in. Great place to have Koran bbq and hang out with friends.

    One of my favorite kbbq place besides downtown Los Angeles. Came here with a friend yesterday for lunch. He wasn't sure if he wanted intestines so we ended up getting brisket, bulgolgi and pork belly combo.. it wasn't until later, he wanted the intestines. Lol. This was my 3rd time coming here, and it is great. Service is awesome.. now, this isnt AYCE place. This place has set combo meals. Little bit for procey; yes but it is worth it. You can taste the difference in meat. I was surprised my friend wanted to drink soju instead of beers.. we ended up drinking 3 bottles... this is a great place for large group hang out as well..

    This is a very good (and very popular) kbbq place right on Beach Blvd. It's very nice and clean and service was great. We ordered the small beef combo which included beef brisket, short rib, and seasoned short rib. There were three of us and this was plenty of food for us. (They were also generous with "service" items, so we also got cheese corn and pajun). The brisket was very good and the staff did a good job of cooking it for us so it wasn't burned. I thought the unmarinaded short rib was the best. The seasoned short rib was very tender, but I didn't love the marinade ... I'm not into any seasoning that's sweet. The banchan were good. I thought the spicy bean sprouts were particularly good.

    Medium Intestine Combo

    I'll say it again, king chang services the best gopchang and daechang. The medium combo can feed two people. But i'd go large if you're super hungry and really looking to smack down. If you asked me King Chang over Ahgassi Gopchang. I said what i said. The service is quick and friendly, and parking is great!

    Speaking of non-All You Can Eat classic KBBQ that hits in Orange County -- King Chang Super friendly vibes, and the staff cooks for you (lazy mode ON ), checks in on you, and even has a signature photo-posting corner right at the entrance They offer various entrees and high-quality meat combo options for KBBQ, including a unique intestine combo. We went with the Beef Combo -- highly recommend the prime boneless short rib, amazing quality, absolutely loved it. It comes not only with banchan (including fried chicken), but also with steamed egg, pancake, and super cheesy corn Want extra sides? Just $3 more IG: socalhkfoodies

    NOTE: This is NOT AYCE (all you can eat). TIP: Use YELP App to join the waitlist (Easy Peezy) This is one of those KBBQ places, IYKYK. They have been around since 2020 and so underrated in OC. They are really known for their Korean BBQ meats & intestines, not to mention their Banchans are really good too. Many people don't know that they deliver using popular delivery services such as Uber Eats, Grubhub and Postmates. They package everything so well and you can enjoy in the comfort of your home. What we love about King Chiang, is that the servers will grill the meat to perfection right at your table, and they are so attentive to your needs during the meal. We rarely have to ask for refills, they are on top of it. Here's what we got on our visit: 01. 2-Beef Combo (Large) $139 - 5 Stars - You choose between: Prime Boneless Short Rib OR Prime Fresh Rib. Then you choose either: Seasoned Prime Boneless Short Ribs OR Seasoned Prime Rib OR Bulgogi. You CANNOT go wrong. The meats are so tender and juicy 02. 2-Pork Combo (Large) $120 - 5 Stars - You get Prime Fresh Pork Belly + Prime Pork Jowl, either Marinated Pork Rib OR Spicy Pork Bulgogi. The Pork is just heaven when someone else cooks for you. The outside is crispy and the meat so so tender. I wasn't able to take a photo of the Pork Combo our served quickly put it on the grill before I could take a photo. 03. Corn Cheese, Spicy Paste Stew, Steamed Eggs, Pancakes - 5 Stars - All complimentary with our combo orders. The Pancakes was DELICOUS, crispy and flavorful. At other restaurants, the pancakes are a bit soggy. 04. Complimentary Banchans - 4 Stars - We loved all of the Banchans of the night. Refilled before we needed to ask for more. PARKING - Don't worry they share the parking lot with Zion Market but located at the corner of the plaza so there's plenty of parking spaces. CUSTOMER SERVICE - Every server we've had have been amazingly friendly and attentive. Single girls...there are some CUTIES (if you are lucky they serve your table). VERDICT - Of course we will come back. I've moved to Southern OC so I don't come up to BP often but will start to since our friends like coming here, it's half way for everyone. Try it out if you're not an AYCE fan and you're too LAZY to cook your meats. You get to just sit back and enjoy the food.

    Great spot for some kbbq, the staff was super friendly and would cook the meat options for you. We only waited a few minutes to get seating, and was able to order right away. It's located near a handful of other stores, great if you're looking for dessert after

    Large Intestine / 대창구이 / 秘制牛大腸
    Jim V.

    Was looking a Korean bbq place that serves large intestines. It's not AYCE, instead it has combos and specials. One drink special is buy either soju or beer and get Krush beer for 1 cent. Ordered the large intestines combo and ordered the same ramen as one of the side soups. We also ordered a la carte brisket, they come by cook the meats for you. The banchans were delicious 5/5, it had a mixture of some typical standard Korean sides, however the white kimchi was refreshing and different. Service was good and they were attentive. Tea water was served as a standard, which has a nice taste. The ramen was clutch as it's hot soup at the end, helped cut through all the meats. It's great that they have Yelp checkin for reservations l!

    Pork cooked to perfection
    Tiffany T.

    I've been here a number of times and used to think it was alright but recently I've changed my mind. This place truly is a hidden gem for kbbq. The meat quality is unmatched, service extremely attentive, and they really cook it to perfection. I would say it's well worth the price considering how much food they give - side dishes and all. We had the family combo and it was not only humongous but every cut was well above expectations. The beef was juicy and pork golden. We also added large intestines which blew away my party who normally doesn't love intestines. Would definitely return!

    Do allow outside drinks inside the restaurant or no?

    Hi Hannah, like a lot of restaurants businesses. Usually they don’t allow outside food or drinks because they HOPE since you’re dining in their restaurants you’d purchase from them. But I’ve brought in my own Stanley cup filled w water because I… 

    Do they offer reservations?

    No, you need to join the Yelp waitlist. If you live close enough to the restaurant, you can do this from the comfort of your home, but you'll need to hurry over there once you get the text saying your table is ready as it's a pretty short window.

    Will you be open for Thanksgiving 2024?

    Is it a gas or charcoal grill?

    Gas

    Will you be open for christmas day?

    Korean restaurants never close on big holidays.

    Can you dine solo at this place?

    Yes you can but its mostly eating with group setting.

    Is it all you can eat for kbbq?

    No it's not

    Do they have a table for up to 7 ppl indoors?

    Yes, they can accommodate a party of seven at a table indoors. If they are busy, however, it may take a little longer to seat a party of seven.

They offer valet parking at the entrance, along with additional parking around the corner. Since this place gets very busy, I'd recommend arriving early to avoid a long wait. This is a great spot for large groups and celebrations. The menu is designed for family-style dining, so you can order several dishes to share with everyone at the table, or you can order an individual entrée if that's more your style. Despite the packed dining room, the service was quick and attentive. Our food came out surprisingly fast, and the staff kept everything running smoothly throughout our meal. The food was delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Combined with the lively atmosphere and efficient service, it's easy to see why this restaurant has become such a popular destination. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

Me and my friends watched the whole thing while we were just trying to enjoy some drinks at the bar. It was so disgusting, my friends wanted to pay and leave quickly but NO theres no way im paying for the drink i only had a couple sips of and couldn't finish.

    This is hands down my favorite Korean restaurant. The quality of the food and the portion sizes are…read moreboth 10/10. The kimchi, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and gat kimchi are absolutely delicious. I heard that the owner makes everything in-house, and you can really tell how much care and skill go into the food. The staff are also incredibly kind and welcoming every time I visit. Galbitang (Beef Short Rib Soup) - This is honestly the best galbitang I've had in both OC and LA. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the beef is always fresh and tender. Whenever I'm craving galbitang in the OC/LA area, this is the only place I go. Yukgaejang (Spicy Beef Soup) - The amount of ingredients they give you is amazing. I've had it both dining in and as takeout, and it's consistently delicious every single time. It's perfectly seasoned, and has just the right level of spice. As much as I love the galbitang, I think I actually enjoy the yukgaejang even more. Pork Cutlet (Donkatsu) - This place is known for its galbitang and seolleongtang, so I wasn't expecting much from the donkatsu... but why is it this good? The cabbage salad dressing that comes on the side is seriously addictive. The portion size is huge, there's no way I could finish it by myself. It has the crispy texture of Japanese katsu, while still having a great pork flavor of its own. I honestly think this could be considered one of their signature dishes. If you're looking for authentic Korean comfort food with generous portions and warm service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely keep coming back!

I love that you order off their kiosk which is conveniently located at the table already. The staff was quick to bring out the banchan. To start, we shared their leek pancake and pork blood sausage. For my lunch I went with their cold noodles since it was a cold day. The people I came with had some pork spare ribs, which came with rice and bone knee soup. And a bibimbap. The leek pancake was the best thing there. The pork blood sausage was more of rice noodles rolled up with pork blood flavored. I can't imagine it being much portion. Eveything else was bland which we all agreed to. For my cold noodles I added plenty of vinegar and mustard but it was not it. Still lacked flavor. Also it only had half a boiled egg and two verythin slices of beef. The pork was over cooked, dry, and lacked flavor. The bibimbap was also bland even with their red sauce. We we were all disappointed. The pricing is affordable. The staff was nice and quick. They made sure to check up on us. Parking here is a tough even though it was a weekday. Their lot was full and you can park next door but by the dental office but that was also full. We waited a little and eventually found parking. The restaurant is very casual, clean and spacious. This was just really meh to me.
