Kind service and warm reception keeps me dining here and enjoying the homestyle recipes and always great quality. Quite laid back on Thursdays so if you want a more quiet experience do the Monday through Thursday nights here. Weekends still get waiting line busy, so plan accordingly. read more

I've been looking for a solid, reliable Korean "bbq" restaurant near work for the longest time and I'm glad to have finally found this gem. Quotes around the BBQ as it's not the traditional, cook in on the grill yourself, raw meat KBBQ, they cook everything in the back for you and just bring it out. I opted for the $20.99 chicken & shrimp lunch special plate which came with some old rice, quarter cup of miso soup, and a couple bonchons. I was bit disappointed that the rice was old- usually at these Korean restaurants their rice comes out super fresh and steaming in those metal bowls- not the case here. I've been eating rice for 28 years now, and the rice was old- disappointing- taking 1 star off for that. Service was decent, the restaurant was packed with one empty table that had some dishes on it. The server asked if I wanted to sit outside- in this hot weather? No thanks sorry boss- so he let me sit at the table. I do wish he would have wiped it down first before letting me sit though lol- another star off for that. The chicken was chicken and shrimp was shrimp- generic teriyaki sauce. 3 stars as it was edible, high protein, and fully cooked. Overall, I'd come back if I'm looking for a healthy meal and don't care about service. Definitely wouldn't bring a date or someone I care about here. read more

Korea BBQ House - Chicken & shrimp lunch special - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Generous portions, flavorful meats and good value, especially at lunch. It's a casual, no-frills place popular for BBQ with banchan sides, miso soup, and rice. The Beef and Chicken Combo Lunch special priced around $20.99 includes bulgogi beef and bbq chicken along with standard Korean sides (banchan), rice, and soup. Meats are tender, well-marinated, and flavorful--not too fatty. Other lunch options include individual BBQ items like short ribs, beef, pork, or chicken, plus combos with shrimp or teriyaki. Consistent quality over the years with attentive/friendly service fresh sides, and solid BBQ meats. Good for quick lunches or groups in Little Tokyo. It's a smaller, older spot (3rd floor location), so ambiance is straightforward rather than upscale. Not the flashiest KBBQ, but value and flavor make up for it. Reliable, affordable choice for Korean BBQ in downtown LA, especially the chicken-beef lunch combo if you're craving grilled meats without breaking the bank. read more

The food was ok, the presentation was not great when taking it on the go but the food itself was ok overall. Price is good for lunch special, but I'd debate going back. read more

Everything tasted really good overall, and I enjoyed the meal. The banchan potato salad was a bit watery at times and the rice was hard occasionally. Aside from that, it was a great. read more

Today we had a work lunch at the Korea BBQ house and it was great! I have not reviewed them before but they are consistent, have friendly service, ample indoor and outdoor seating, and quality food at a reasonable price. I ordered the spicy bbq chicken lunch special that came with rice, soup and the banchan (side dishes). Sorry no pics for this review...we were too hungry and just dug into lunch. They are located on the third floor of Weller Court off of Astronaut Elliot S. Onizuka Steet. read more

I have gone to this place for almost 10 years, and all I can say is that the food is always amazing! I always order their chicken BBQ with shrimp. Rate: 10/10!!! It comes with miso soup and delicious Korean side dishes! It was cold the day I went, so I ordered jasmine tea to go with this delicious meal! Everyone is super nice & right away we feel welcomed! I love the fact that this place isn't super busy but just right were it isn't slow to keep this business going ! Must come if you're ever in Little Tokyo! read more

This was a great little discovery in Little Tokyo. Located on the third floor of Weller Court, Korea BBQ House serves a variety of bbq meats, fish, and shrimp. The dishes come with small sides such as a cold mash potato salad, soup, and bean sprout. They also have a few noodles and bibimbap. Upon arriving we were greeted right away and received very friendly service throughout our meal. It's not fancy or very modern and it's a bit warm inside, but it's a good size restaurant and to me it's the food that really matters. And this place surpassed my expectations. The bibimpap was amazing! It was served in a stone pot which is the only way I like it. I had it with beef, vegetables, noodles, and rice. The heat from the pot makes the rice crispy and yummy at the bottom with all that good sauce charring. Yum. I don't usually care for the sides but I did like the pickled veggies. When the bbq ribs came out it was like a little show with all that sizzly, smoky goodness. And the meat - OMG yes. So tasty. Forgot to mention that the broth it comes with on the side is really light and a perfect starter. My only disappointment was the alcohol choices. They weren't varied and I didn't care for the beer too much. It wasn't bad just not to my liking However it was refreshing with the meal and because it was a hot day. read more

Korea BBQ House - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a good place for Korean BBQ. The food is always sizzling on the hot plate when they bring it to your table. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. The food is full of flavor and they can make the spice level to your liking. Each lunch order comes with miso soup and sides like potato salad, kim chi, pickled cucumbers, and beam spouts. They're located inside Weller Court in Little Tokyo. Upstairs on the 3rd floor. Perfect and enough time for a lunch break. And within walking distance within DTLA. Stop in and try it!! You'll love it and won't be disappointed! read more

4.5/5 stars! Highly recommend this place! The food is amazing and even tho it cost a tiny bit, they do give you a good portion and you'll leave with leftovers! Service is amazing as well, super speedy and the employees were friendly. Definitely worth it if you're in the little Tokyo area. Only complaint that it's a little hot inside the restaurant but it didn't bother me much. read more

Korea BBQ House - BBQ 12. Beef and Pork Combo Lunch - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cool location to grab a bite while enjoying Little Tokyo. Kind of pricey & service wasn't the best.

If you're dreaming of meat, your wish would manifest itself on a sizzling heap of chicken, pork, or steak in generous portions. Bring your appetite, and you shall leave happy (and perhaps with some leftover for enjoyment on the following day). The side dishes were underwhelming, and the potato salad was particularly memorable because it's so mushy and bad. I liked the kimchee, but it's sweeter than what I'm used to. We ate outside, but they do have plenty of tables indoor. There is even a banquet room, but I don't know how often that's utilized for the mostly lunch crowd. Our waitress was unable to smile. She got our orders correct but it looked like she has had a long day. read more

This place is good. They have a good variety of options at different price points. We liked the outdoor seating. Service was fast. read more

Unsure why this place is even close to 4 stars. Service was above par but not great. Our server has a good attitude but wasn't super attentive. Didn't get our waters until we asked. We had to call him over to food ordered. But this review is honestly about the food quality. The spicy pork was just fatty pork with spicy sauce slathered over it- which is not an authentic Korean dish. My dumpling rice soup was mediocre - the dumplings were all wrap and no meat. The shrimps tasted like Bleach for some reason but otherwise were fresh - just not marinated well. The kalbi was fatty and the tri tip was very chewy, hard to swallow. Water tasted funky too. Will not be coming back read more

What a fabulous little place! We were seated right away on a Saturday night despite it being packed. We had the 2 meat bbqs. I had Tri-tip & chicken. And he had pork & shrimp! They came with miso soup, rice, kimchi, bean sprouts, cucumbers and potato salad(the ONLY thing we didn't like). He loved his Korean beer. One woman severed the whole place and answered the phone! We'll return. AND yay for my 500th review! read more

Great location! I went for lunch and this place didn't disappoint. I ordered the beef and shrimp combo I really like how they serve the protein on a bed of steamed vegetables the soup and sides were all delicious. This place is a keeper read more

This place was amazing. If you're ever in the LA downtown area, I would highly recommend this restaurant. I ordered the chicken and shrimp dinner. This was the perfect protein for me. Sides were great and perfect portions. You will smell like a family BBQ when you leave so ladies be careful just know that before you doll up. Chicken & shrimp dinner, edamame, and water came out to 32$. Con: they don't take American Express so keep the receipt if you're in the area for business. read more

I love KBBQ and I was extremely disappointed that they charge extra if you want more bonchon. The serving sizes are super small. Waitress never comes to check in on you and service overall is not the greatest. The food tasted ok. They also charge you extra if you pay with credit card!!! I will not come here again for sure. read more

This restaurant is unsanitary! It stinks really bad and they don't even wash the floors, disinfect the shoes, they stick

Expensive but delicious. It's a little pricey but really tasty. Very large portions so the price isn't too bad. They are always busy whenever we come. Lots of families. This is one of our favorite restaurants in little Tokyo. Parking is a little expensive but if you buy something at Marukai market downstairs they'll validate your parking and you won't have to pay as much for parking. read more

This place is on the third floor. We came here on a whim. It was unclear if we needed to wait to be seated or sit anywhere. A server eventually led us to a table. We got gyoza, egg roles, and sake. The sake was decent. It came in a cute tokkuri (tiny pitcher) and ochoko (tiny ceramic cup). It was light and lovely. The egg roles were fine. Nothing to write home about. The gyoza was dry and brittle and flavorless. read more

Korea BBQ House - 6. Chicken Teriyaki Lunch - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The food here is great. Came here on an afternoon right before the lunch crowd hit and it was definitely a great experience. The portions are very very very big. I ordered the bbq beef plate with an order of short ribs and gyoza. The plate comes with soup, tons of veggies, kimchi, cucumbers, potato salad and some other sides. Was def a great bang for buck. The service was good also, very fast . Ordered and my food came out within 5 minutes eventhough it was a crowd. 10/10 recommend. Only gave it 4 stars because the price was a bit expensive for the 2 meats. read more

I've been coming to this spot for years, and the quality stays amazing! The food is soooo good. You get a good amount for your money.

This place is really good. Prices have gone up in the last few years but the food is always so good. Customer service is great and definitely worth coming here. The plates come out steaming hot. Such a fun experience. read more

Don't get me wrong but the food is pretty good like a 8/10 in my book and it's plentiful to share with one other person. Service on the other hand was absolutely horrible, it started out fine sat down and was given a menu as normal. When it was time to pay the waitress was absolutely rude, it took me 15 minutes to grab her attention just so she could take the card to pay but even through the eye contact and the constant hand waving she continued to ignore me, we ended up leaving exact cash on the table and leaving as time was ticking and we waited for so long. Overall food is great but service is an absolute joke. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant with hungry kids in tow and fairly low expectations. Quickly ordered and received 2 lunch specials: BBQ short ribs & BBQ beef and tofu soup. I found the food to be satisfactory and authentic tasting. I did like that they use a thicker meat for the kalbi instead of a cheaper restaurant cut. Also, I noted they only had 4 appetizers instead of the usual 6-8 small plates available at other comparable Korean restaurants. As for comfort, it is hot and stuffy inside as there is no air conditioning but they do have several fans going and the restrooms are fairly clean. Deducting a star off a solid 4 due to the fact they overcharged me by $7 or $8. Being in a rush, I didn't want to squabble over a few bucks. A printed itemized bill was not available so check your receipts! read more

Came here with a friend to visit LA and it was pretty easy to find in the plaza connected to the hotel. The restaurant itself was hella smokey so definitely prepare a change of clothes if you come eat here. The dishes themselves were pretty good though. If you come during lunch, you can get all the sides for free. The service itself was pretty okay. Waiter never bothered us too much. read more
