    Really enjoyed our dinner at KingChang! The food was fresh, flavorful, and everything came out really well cooked. I especially liked the Korean BBQ and the variety of side dishes. The portions were good for sharing, and the overall quality was definitely better than I expected. Service was also friendly and attentive. The staff checked on us throughout the meal and helped with the grill, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The restaurant has a lively Korean BBQ atmosphere and is a great place to come with friends or family. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving Korean BBQ!

    Great business. Such a great experience with my friends for the first time; felt so welcome and excited. I loveee the energy! Thank you servers for such a great time and food. Will have to come back again :)

    Small beef combo
    Angelie P.

    I'm so glad we decided to try King Chang in LA's Koreatown! It's not AYCE, but honestly, the portions were just right for the three of us. We ordered the Small Beef Combo, which comes with prime thinly sliced brisket, prime boneless short ribs, and a choice of a third meat, we chose the bulgogi. The combo also comes with a choice of spicy paste stew, soybean paste stew, or ramen, and we chose the ramen and loved it! We also ordered the large beef intestines, and they were SO good! Definitely one of our favorites. I also love that they cook the meat for you, so you can just sit back, eat, talk, and enjoy. Our server Alvin was amazing, so kind, friendly, and attentive. The other staff were just as welcoming. I was with my dog, Jimin (Toby), and they all instantly loved him, which made our experience even better. The restaurant is definitely loud and lively, but I didn't mind at all. Everyone was eating, talking, laughing, and just having a good time. It gave the place such a fun and energetic KBBQ atmosphere. Great food, great portions, amazing service, and a really fun experience. We'll definitely be back!

    Came for an early dinner with the family and it was a great choice! We were able to join the waitlist and be seated right away. Our server Jay is awesome! He's very attentive and gave us an idea of what would be best for our table. We got the beef combos for our table and the seafood pancakes. Really loved that they helped cook the meat! The sides were also very good! Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a kbbq spot.

    This place was open late and we ended up here after a concert. They were not busy and our server was really funny. They cook here for you so that was a plus for us ladies.

    There was really no wait! The service is good and the food is really good too! Always a big fan of King Chan whether it is this location or the one in Buena Park!

    Food was great! Good banchan and amazing service! It was a nice switch up on some new sauces aside from the brisket sauce u get at every kbbq spot.

    Delicious food

    Galbi Jjim Cheese Spicy Beef Back Ribs
    Alex B.

    This place is all about the the Korean beef back rib. I was hunting for a Galbi Jjim beef rib one night and this place popped up on my Yelp. They are open late. Most nights they are open to Midnight and on weekends they are open even later. They have really good cold noodle soup and this incredibly tasty potato hash brown and cheese thing. I'll post a picture of it. The beef back ribs are giant and served on the bone. They come out in a big steaming hot stone cauldron and the waiter will cut them off the bone for you and he mixes them into this delicious brown sauce, onion, and potato bowl. The small Korean sides of Kimchi and radish are incredibly refreshing. The Korean cold noodle soup here is very good. They have both kinds - the one in the red sauce and the one in the clear vinegar based broth. Both have good chewy noodles. This place is absolutely awesome. My favorite new Korean restaurants, if not my absolute favorite overall Korean restaurant. It's tucked away in a pretty well known Korean food plaza in the back corner. The inside is lively Korean vibes. The ambience is fun and feels like a transport into some type of cool drinking Korean food spot (as it should) It's not KBBQ style where you need to cook it yourself, and I love this. The older I get, the more I don't want to have to cook my food at a restaurant. I like showing up, sitting down, and delicious prepared food is brought to me! Just thinking about that beef rib has me hungry! These photos are from two different visits a few months apart!!

    One of the best liquor shops in LA because they have so many top shelf items, large selection, &…read moreit's reasonably priced. I'm glad this is so local to me, even if it wasn't I would come back here because THEY HAVE EVERYTHING... from wine to beers. To all sorts of specialty liquor as well(: Pro Tip: Browse the Harry Potter wall of liquor and KNOW what you want BEFORE you get in line!(: Guys are pretty friendly and prompt with service here I'm not sure why some people had issues? I usually do browse what I want BEFORE getting in line to not hold anyone up as the lines can get REALLY LONG during the end of the week at night. So maybe that's why some people had issues? Love the Harry Potter bookshelf wall with service Rollie ladder of top shelf liquor it's a whole mood. Modern and clean vibes here and the exterior is cool too as it's huge pieces of glass. It looks cool and nice at night especially! Place is packed to the brim on Fridays, Saturdays, and holidays.

    UPDATE: I am updating my rating to 3 stars purely based on how management handled my situation…read more Shortly after my initial negative experience, Amar reached out to me directly. He was highly professional, apologized for the unacceptable service, assured me he had spoken to the staff so it wouldn't happen again, and went out of his way to completely cover the cost of my order. It takes a lot for a business to own their mistakes and make it right, and I really appreciate that ownership actually cares about their customers. ORIGINAL EXPERIENCE: Do not order delivery directly from their website. I originally placed an order online for a couple beers and two bottles of liquor, and despite living only 2.8 miles away, I was called by an employee named Angelo who told me it would take 4 hours to deliver. When I expressed frustration, he offered zero compensation or alternative solutions. He claimed there was "no manager" to speak to, and told me to just go use DoorDash or Grubhub instead because nobody wanted to drive a moped less than 3 miles. It is incredibly frustrating when a business takes your money for an advertised service, refuses to fulfill it, and then tells you to go pay extra fees on a third-party app. Overall, I'm giving 3 stars because Amar's excellent response and accountability balanced out Angelo's initial terrible service.

Naturally, we followed the music... and wow, what a vibe! This place is such a vibe-y outdoor hangout spot. Super cute, super chill. The first thing you see? A full bar built into a refurbished 1954 Spartan Trailercoach and yes, it's as cool as it sounds, serving beer and craft cocktails. The music was bumpin', the energy was up, but it still had this cozy, intimate feel. Perfect combo. My boyfriend and I both got the Paloma and we snagged a spot in the back to catch the DJ doing his thing. Our table was a little wobbly and my cocktail tipped! Such a bummer but the bartender didn't miss a beat. She sent someone to clean it up immediately and replaced my drink with a fresh one. Didn't catch her name but shoutout to her for the amazing service! There was a big group nearby just vibing, laughing, and living their best life.
