You pull up and it's $3 mandatory valet parking only so they grab their grab your keys so don't drive a good car here they try to control the limited parking [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is two stories with many seats available you walk through a narrow walkway to get to the check-in to check your party[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and they do have lunch icing and menu you could pick the combination which has a little bit of everything and they do have complementary Hot House tea so you can ask for it. OVERALL meat quality is not marching the price tag in my opinion . Other places less expensive and tastes like any other kbbq place. I feel quality has come down. Yeah it's rising cost rising rent rising labor everything but that's why people don't eat out as much. Just a suggestion when people dine out and pay premium they expect premium level. None of the meats we had fit that level. Now everyone opinion is different. I'm sure there are people that would say this place tastes great . But that's why we have reviews from different all sorts of people. I've been eating and exploring places through eating so that is my point of view and from my perspective. Like if someone never had wagyu beef and they eat for first time they would never know that there is actually different levels and quality of wagyu. And the US actually does not import the "best highest" level typically. Those highest quality level is available in Japan. Google it. You will see that things labeled waygu are actually not 100% correct. They are beef injected with fats and such. We have dined in restaurants outside of the country for example in parts of Asia and that grade of meats are vastly different than that of the best offerings. But when your pricing is at the premium level of kbbq then meats should not be tasting like or be like those kbbq places of lower levels even tastes the same as some all you can eat places and you know they don't use high quality meats. Service and ambience and all that is great though. Kudos to the entire staffs. That part is good. They have been 23 years in business and are highly rated but yeah it Falls way short unfortunately in relation to food. And don't force people to valet park AND charge them for it! That's not right imo! Go here if you dont mind to pay higher premium price for average meat quality.
Ordered: - P1 set (4/5): Not a single cut of meat that we didn't like. The servers cook for you so all the meat comes out perfect and juicy. The beef short ribs were my favorite followed up by the galbi. Both were just so meaty and went perfectly with the salt. - Beef Tartare (4/5): A refreshing dish. It wasn't very meaty because of the sauces but it was a good dish to cut through the heavy flavors. Overall (3.5/5): There was a very short wait on the Sunday evening we came on. There's valet in the lot so parking wasn't too bad. Once seated ordering was smooth and we were served banchan and then our mains. The food was all solid but honestly I didn't think it was worth the price tag. Service was alright - wasn't that friendly but got the job done and the meat was cooked perfectly.
I've had Park's BBQ saved on multiple "must-visit" KBBQ lists for quite some time. I'm always on the lookout for places that feel authentic and stay true to their roots. Some of the best Korean BBQ I've experienced was in Seoul, so I'm constantly searching for spots that can recreate that same quality and atmosphere. We visited on a Sunday morning just before opening. While they offer valet parking, we opted to park elsewhere since we prefer not to use valet. When we arrived, the staff were still preparing for service. We were first in line, with a few others joining shortly after. The line grew steadily just before the doors opened. Reservations are recommended, which I only realized the night before since they don't use Yelp for bookings and instead rely on a third-party system. Although we had made a reservation for five, only three of us ended up going due to illness in the family. In the end, we didn't even need the reservation since we arrived early enough to be seated right away. Upon entry, the host asks whether you're there for KBBQ and seats you accordingly. Our experience started off strong with a friendly young Korean waitress who was attentive and thoughtful--she even offered to let us take photos before cooking the meat and kindly offered to take a family picture for us. She handled grilling and swapped out the grill when needed, but she disappeared for a while midway through the meal. Fortunately, another server stepped in and was more attentive, especially when we needed additional banchan. Speaking of banchan, our favorites were the eomuk bokkeum (stir-fried fish cakes), cucumber, salad, broccoli with dressing, and potato salad. Surprisingly, the kimchi fell short--it didn't taste as fresh as we'd hoped. We ordered the P1 combo ($140), which included Ggot Sal, Park's Galbi, bulgogi, beef brisket, and boneless beef short rib. The meat quality was excellent overall, with the marinated options standing out the most. For drinks, I had a pint of Terra beer ($12), while my wife and son shared a lemon drink ($5), which comes bottled and isn't refillable. One downside was the limited variety of dipping sauces. I would have appreciated something with more spice. The salt blend provided was quite strong--flavorful, but a bit too salty for my taste--and there was also a soy-based sauce with jalapeños. My wife, who is Asian and quite particular about Asian cuisine, enjoyed the meal, which says a lot given how hard she is to impress. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Park's BBQ has a well-earned reputation, highlighted by the wall of celebrity photos near the entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I first heard about it from *Parts Unknown* (Season 6, Episode 4), when Anthony Bourdain visited. While it's definitely on the pricier side, the quality justifies the cost. It's not an everyday dining spot unless you're willing to splurge, but it's perfect for special occasions or hosting out-of-town guests. We'll definitely be back.
I'm not going to pretend I'm a Korean BBQ connoisseur. Truth is, I've only eaten it a few times. It's never really been my thing, and I guess that's because all the places I'd been to were just meh. But Parks BBQ is the real deal -- holy shit, this is Korean BBQ done right. I can honestly say they've ruined Korean BBQ for me, because this is the gold standard and I don't think anyone else will be able to match it. You can see and taste the quality of the meat, the banchan was exceptional, and the woman cooking our meats was on point the whole time. I truly enjoyed this meal -- it's easily one of the best I've had this year, even better than a 1-star Michelin meal I had recently. This is a must-try if you love Korean BBQ and you're in the area.
Came here on a Friday with a 4pm reservation and was seated immediately. Valet parking was $5 Great service and food. I forgot which one we ordered but it was plenty of food for all 6 of us. My fav's were the short rib, bigobi and ribeye. Our waitress cooked and cut everything for us which was nice. Would definitely come back.
Another great meal at Park's with Leon giving the assist! Always great to see your smiling face and enjoy your thoughtful service! Today was a birthday splurge, so we went with the Park's Galbi beef short ribs in their signature sauce. Leon demonstrated the various levels from medium to well cooked, giving them just a slight crispness and caramelized texture - FABULOUS! We also had our staple black cod which is always amazing. Japchae and steamed dumplings filled out our order. PLENTY of great banchan, but my favorites are, mung beans, kimchi, the fish cake, spicy cucumbers, salad & rice wrappers, while my friend also really likes Park's potato salad to cool the spice of the dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We tend to get to Park's around 3pm, which is a perfect lull time with a very casual, relaxed vibe and quiet enough to have a nice conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Leon surprised me with a lovely vanilla ice cream with sweet red beans and a toasty rice crunch, topped with a candle. Thanks, Leon for making this an extra special meal. Cheers! "CC"
Parks BBQ has been around for many years and written up and won awards, but somehow the 3 of us had never tried it, decided to walk in on a Sunday lunch. No wait and saw some empty tables even when we were walking out, so dont worry if you cant score a reservation, just walk in. Parking is valet in the plaza or street parking. Food-wise, I thought it was fine. Favorite was the Parks Galbi, very tender. Was not blown away by anything else we got, service was fine, at one point they switched servers and new server didnt really let us know when meat was ready to eat, so we had to guess. Also had to ask an additional time for some replacement Banchan, which on the flip side had lots of choices -- particularly liked the marinated tofu. Given the many choices of amazing kbbq, was a little let down by this place. Can name a few other kbbq places that I would prefer to here. Come if you want to try a LA institution, and see the wall of celebs that have also tried it.
My family and I really wanted to try a KBBQ place in LA since we heard the KBBQ scene is great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, we were a little overwhelmed by the ambiance and underwhelmed by the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When we sat down, we felt really neglected in the corner and then once we were noticed, we felt completely rushed. Now, this might be controversial, but sometimes I can ignore the bad when the food is really good. I wish this was the case here. Maybe it's my fault to come into this with high expectations, but the meat quality was fine and the banchan was nothing to write home about. I expected the kimchi to at least be solid but everything just tasted mediocre.
Fantastic meat... ok service. Those 4 words pretty much sum up Park's BBQ. With high quality, nicely marbled meat grilling right in front of you...what's not to like? If you're new to Korean BBQ, don't worry, as they have lots of sampler items where you can taste their selection. Our table really enjoyed the ribeye cap, as well as the brisket...both so flavorful with the right amount of fat to keep things juicy. In terms of service, ordered lettuce leaf wraps but they arrived after the meat was already grilled and mostly eaten. Also felt like they forgot about us when waiting for the check... but hey, it was a busy Saturday night. It's located in a mini-mall, but don't worry about parking as they have a $6 valet, which means you don't have to search for a spot before letting the meat hit the spot.
It's been about a year since I went to Park's BBQ. I went to Park's BBQ on 1/5/2024, Friday evening in Ktown LA with My Mom and one of my brothers for dinner. And, it was kinda surprising. We ran into Dana Devon who is KTLA5 news anchor & reporter. We took some photos all together and had a good chatting. She has a wonderful personality, is exceptionally beautiful, and being a journalist, she's also very intelligent. She told me that it was her son's birthday that day, so they were all there for a family dinner. We had the chance to greet and chat with her son, daughter, and even her husband. It was a delightful experience, and we left with a very positive feeling. It was so cool and great Friday evening. And, yes. All of the meats at Park's BBQ were delicious, and the salad and all of the side dishes were good as well. The service was also good. I've also heard that the famous Korean celebrity Psy stop by here whenever he's in Los Angeles.
Park's BBQ definitely is super popular for a reason. The meat quality is great, and their sides are arguably even better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came with friends and had a great time, and I noticed a lot of famous Korean celebrities have visited and left their autographs on the walls![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can't wait to come back again!!
Parks BBQ is the best spot for high-quality Korean BBQ and a really enjoyable dining experience for any group size. From the food to the service, everything felt carefully prepared and delivered. The beef and pork selections are top-notch. The beef is tender, well-marbled, and full of flavor, while the pork is just as good, juicy, fresh, and grilled perfectly. You can really tell the quality of the meat that stands out compared to many other BBQ places. It was a deluxe experience. The staff cook the meat for you, slice it, and let you know once it's ready. You can just sit back and enjoy the meal without worrying about overcooking anything. The side dishes are plentiful and delicious. The pickled cucumbers and kimchi are fresh and well-balanced, the mashed potatoes are creamy, and the chap chae is so delicious. Fun addition such as tacos with corn on the side, which add variety and pair well with the grilled meats. And of course, cold beer and soju are especially refreshing and a perfect match for Korean BBQ. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!
Review Insights
Got the taste of Parks - bulgogi, marinated Galbi, sirloin, brisket , non marinated galbi $140 for it, full. Side dishes were decent. Kimchi is fresh. For prime, I would expect better taste for what I pay for . Service is prompt. Place is good but overall I don't see it as a must have kbbq. IMO, Yangmani has the better quality of meat. Against the other heavy hitters, it's very avg, but in grand scheme of everything , above avg. Bottom line: I won't be a regular read more

Been here a couple of times. This is probably one of the best if not the best Korean bbq places I've ever had. The meats are all insanely good. My fav was the galbi (the marinade was delish) and the brisket. We also got the steak but at kbbq places I think there are better meats. The side dishes are better than most kbbq spots. The kimchi stew was insane. We also got the kimchi pancakes which are a must and the dumplings which I could go without next time. It's v expensive so good spot to go when parents are in town (thanks dad!) read more
Appalled that Parks Bbq ran out of fish cakes at 5:30 pm on a Sunday evening! How is that possible- that is a basic banchee dish and my favorite and I can't get over that....hence the 3 stars. The service was very slow - the waiter didn't explain how to order, I had to figure out the QR code and then he took so long to take our order. The meat was a little over grilled. Expensive. There wasn't that overhead hood over the grill so I smelled like Korean bbq when I left. read more

We were there specifically for the galbi tang and didn't try the BBQ, but it was absolutely delicious--super clean, light, and not oily at all. The side dishes were perfect, and it's easy to see why they were on the Michelin Guide from 2021-2023. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is nice and clean, and the service was excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, a great experience. read more

I came by Wednesday at dinner time because I really wanted some galbitang. There was a wait so we ended up waiting like 40 minutes. We parked on the side streets because we were confused by the parking situation. Luckily there were a few spots on the side streets, although it does get a bit dark there. The service was great, the server was super friendly and on top of it. We ordered spicy cold noodles, the galbi, the bulgogi, the seafood pancake, and of course, the galbitang. The banchans were great and they gave a lot. We didnt try asking for a refill, so not sure if that is an option. The food came out really quickly and they helped with cooking the galbi. Everything tasted really great, and I would say the galbi and the galbitang are the must-order, if you are new here. The meat is pretty pricey but you get the flavor and quality. The bulgogi tasted good but also was really strange in that it was minced, so keep that in mind. The galbitang is always a hit. Everyone who comes and tries it loves it, even my parents. And my parents are not easily impressed with soup from restaurants so you know it must be good. The total for our meal came out to 200, before tip. We were full and had some leftover pancake and soup between the 3 of us, so I would say this isn't too bad, especially with how expensive eating out is nowadays. I would definitely recommend! read more
I was recommended this place by a friend when I asked for a quality K-BBQ restaurant in LA, and it did not disappoint! Pre-arrival: Knowing this is a popular spot, I made a reservation in advance. This restaurant is located in a plaza with a parking lot, so I assumed self-parking would be available. However, it turned out the parking was valet only. I did not mind it too much at the end because it was only $5. Food: Ordered Chef's Cut, a side of rice for each person, and vanilla ice cream. We also ordered a beef short rib soup, which never made it to our table, but honestly, we were secretly relieved because we were already getting full from other dishes and praying it was forgotten. The meat was high-quality and just melted in my mouth. It was worth every penny! Service: Great! Although we arrived a bit earlier than our reservation, the hostess kindly seated us early. Our server was very attentive, cooking the meat at our table and letting us know when it was ready. Ambiance: Sadly, I have to dock 1 star because of the ambiance. There were intoxicated customers who were being so loud that we could hear their conversations across the restaurant. No servers intervened and warned them until things escalated where one person fell to the ground and knocked over the partition, which hit the neighboring customers. Instead of being escorted out, they were so drunk they had to be dragged out of the restaurant. Although the restaurant was not responsible for their inappropriate behavior, how the situation was handled told me a lot about how much they valued and prioritized the comfortable dining environment for customers at the restaurant. Overall, food was excellent and service was great, but ambiance at the restaurant fell short. read more
We get these for lunch deliver for the last two weeks, the salmon and shrimp was very good the shrimp nicely cook not over cook great flavors. It comes with bone broth soup and rice. All the sides are very tasty, would recommend portion side to be little more. I would definetely order more or come to dine in when I have time. read more
I had forgotten how good parks bbq was!! When I used to work in ktown, I used to come all the time for lunch. We ordered a set, naengmyun and soy bean stew. The set was good, the marinated meat was a little on the sweeter side for me but the service was great because we didn't have to lift a finger. The stars of the show for me were the naengmyun and the soy bean stew. Although I do have to admit that I'm not a huge kbbq fan. There was also a variety of side dishes. Ones that aren't as common nowadays. I'm not sure if it's because we live in West LA now, but the sides really hit. Came in for lunch on a Saturday after trying to go to Yuchun on the hottest day of the week and being estimated an hour wait. There was no wait here for a table of 3 with an ample amount of empty tables still. read more

Came in craving real Korean BBQ and Park's delivered on every single dish. Started with the fried kimchi rice in the hot stone bowl -- perfectly crisped on the bottom, loaded with kimchi, bean sprouts, seaweed, and that smoky chili oil. Mixed it with galbi and it turned into one of the best bites of the night: savory, spicy, and deeply flavorful. The marinated bulgogi was tender, sweet-savory, and grilled beautifully -- caramelized edges without drying out. Same story with the galbi: juicy, well-marbled, and clearly high-quality beef. Beef tongue was a standout. Thin-sliced, grilled just right, clean beef flavor, no toughness at all. But the surprise hit: the beef tender dumplings. Delicate wrappers, insanely juicy filling, and easily one of the best dumplings I've had anywhere -- not just Korean. Banchan was fresh and balanced, grill service was smooth, and everything felt intentional from start to finish. If you care about quality meat and real Korean flavors, this place is worth the hype. Will absolutely be back. read more

Huge KBBQ fan and I love trying out new spots. I decided to try Parks after looking up a few places. It was.... Ok. The meat quality wasn't really there. Also the set menu we ordered for two people, the #1, only came with one small rice. My husband and I were very confused so we ended up buying another. The best thing here was their soybean stew doenjang jjigae It was one of the best I've had here in the states. read more

The meat is always high quality and service is spot on. Try to go on off hours because dinner usually has a long wait. But this place is pricey - I always forget, but their combo doesn't include any soups or the egg jjim like other places. They only give you salad. The banchan here tho is phenomenal - I think the best banchan from any of the kbbq places. I guess that kinda makes up for the combo price? So since the combo didn't include anything, we just ordered meat a la carte and ordered the soybean paste soup on the side. The soup was really good. read more
I thought after living in LA for 15 years that I've pretty much tried all the KBBQ spots, but nope! I think I've heard about Park's BBQ so much that it's tricked me into thinking I've been there before when in fact yesterday was my first time. Just a casual dinner for two, and we were quickly seated with no wait on a Sunday evening. The service was polite, attentive, and helpful. We were quite hungry and about to make the mistake of ordering way too much until, thankfully, our server told us we probably weren't going to be able to finish it. We ended up ordering: Beef galbi Pork belly Steamed egg Kimchi jigae AND WE WERE STUFFED. Fantastic variety of banchan, but it was also the little details throughout the meal that made us really love this place. Like cooking the kimchi with the pork belly, their special samjang mix, providing rice paper, the servers being ON POINT with the bbqing, the full flavor and stewiness of the kimchi jigae, and steamed egg was also super tasty! Still thinking about how delicious everything was. Will definitely come back and try out some other menu options. read more
I recently visited Park's BBQ where you instantly enter and are captivated by a wall of famous faces that have ventured here. Despite the hype, I left my visit feeling underwhelmed and had higher expectations, especially at this pricepoint. *AMBIANCE* We made a reservation in advance on their website but still had to wait about 20-25 minutes after our scheduled time for a table...I guess the wait gives you longer time to think about what you want to eat! It was extremely packed on a Friday evening. Parking is valet only. The weather was also chillier, and it was nice they have heat lamps outside while you're waiting. *FOOD* We opted for their P1 combo ($140 / set) which comes with Ggot Sal, galbi, bulgogi, beef brisket, and boneless beef short rib. The meat itself was not that bad, though I think at this price you can probably find better options in the area. The plethora of banchan was great. We also tried their seafood pancake ($23) which I found to be average. The pancake was a bit soggy and felt like I was fishing for the seafood in the batter, only to find tiny shrimps. *SERVICE* Service was okay. The restaurant was extremely busy and occasionally they would come over, though we found ourselves to be flipping our meat to prevent overcooking. Overall, Park's BBQ offers a solid meal, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. read more

Came to Park's BBQ a few weeks back and overall it was a great KBBQ experience. Parking isn't the best but they do offer valet. As you walk in you'll see a lot photos from celebrities/athletes who have dined there. My highlights for this place was the service, meat quality, and banchans (sides). I believe we ordered P1 which came with Bulgogi, Brisket, Short Rib, and I believe another marinated meat. My favorites were the brisket and short rib as they packed the most flavor and paired well with the sauces they provided. The service again was excellent, they did a great job grilling the meats and making recommendations. Overall a great experience, I wouldn't say it's my favorite KBBQ place in LA, but deserving of 5 stars for sure. Would I go again? Absolutely! read more

Parks BBQ in Koreatown delivers a great Korean BBQ experience from start to finish. Valet parking was surprisingly affordable and the staff was friendly and attentive right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is lively and fun, and having the servers cook the meat at the table made the meal feel interactive and relaxed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The banchan spread was generous and very solid. Everything paired well with the meat, especially the kimchi and soybean paste soup. The highlight was the galbi. I tried both marinated and non marinated, and the marinated galbi was the clear winner. Super tender, full of flavor, and excellent with the sauce and salt. The meat quality here is top tier. I also ordered the naengmyeon. It was good but not the best I have had. It worked much better when eaten alongside the meat. Overall this was a great meal with strong service, great vibes, and excellent meat. Parks BBQ is a solid choice if you want quality Korean barbecue done right. read more

Everything you could want and more at Parks BBQ. The ventilation system was quiet and effective, leaving no sign of the smell of meat after we left. The staff was efficient in bringing out dishes as they were ready and cooking them expertly while we waited to keep enjoying the delicious meats. The marinated kalbi and pork belly are a must. The steamed egg was light and fluffy and had the perfect amount of sesame oil on it. The japchae and tofu stew were amazing. No notes on the flavor and service, I recommend to anyone who wants good K-BBQ in LA. read more

I just had a late Friendsgiving lunch with my friends at Park's, and they absolutely nailed everything exactly the way I like it. 1. Host The host was, as always, wonderful. Very welcoming and accommodating. They kindly moved us to a corner table so we could enjoy a more intimate lunch together, which I really appreciated. 2. Food I'm always surprised by how consistent Park's is every time I visit. The quality of the outside skirt I had this afternoon was truly outstanding. Not only that, but the kimchi stew and the hot stone bibimbap with plenty of fernbrake were dishes even a Korean like me would happily compliment. Everything was spot on. 3. Cleanliness Every time I visit, I'm impressed by how well-maintained the restaurant is. It never feels old or worn down. Today was no exception. Even the restroom was spotless. Impressive! 4. Service Since it was Thanksgiving weekend, they seemed a little understaffed. Our server looked really busy because a large party came in at the same time. But despite that, they still took great care of our table from beginning to end and made sure we were well serviced and pre-bussed. I really appreciated the effort. Overall, the meat quality was outstanding once again, and I'm pretty sure Park's will continue to be my go-to spot whenever I crave Korean BBQ. read more

I came here recently after a dear friend's father's funeral. This place was the perfect remedy to lift up our moods. The food was phenomenal. The ban chan was superb. The service was exceptional. The company in between us of family and friends was divine and even more special for a special day together. The delicious food brought back many familiar memories from our childhood. I love this place because everything they served was authentic and filled the soul in every way. Nom...nom...nom... read more
If I had to choose one Korean Bbq spot to go to, this would be it. It wouldn't even be a debate. The quality and taste of the meats and side items cannot be beat. Please keep in mind that this place is extremely popular so reservations are strongly recommended. I've had luck as a walk in for a group of 2 on multiple occasions by coming in when they first open. read more
Very tasty KBBQ in ktown LA! Good: - The service is very fast - when you order something it almost arrives a few min after always - The banchan is very diverse - lots of options like fried onion or potato salad, and my favorite were the thick noodles - The sets were good and had a lot of variety of meat - we got the first one that was $140 and it was good for 3 people - Meats were all super juicy and had tons of flavor Bad: - Pretty expensive per person - The place is pretty casual/diner vibes, not super fancy Overall enjoyed getting authentic kbbq in LA! read more
So good! We got naengmyeon, a kimchi pancake, galbi, and bulgogi and we were really happy with each item. We asked the waitress how much to order for our group and it worked out perfectly. The servers were attentive and we were in and out pretty quickly. We did valet parking for $5 and it was really convenient. I thought the banchan selection was pretty good, I especially thought it was fun that they had some tteokbokki with the banchan. Would definitely return! read more

I've been coming to Park's BBQ for 20 years, and it never fails to impress. It is, without a doubt, the best restaurant in LA. While the meat quality is unparalleled, what really sets them apart are the side dishes (banchan), stews, and their legendary Galbi-tang--everything is consistently delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service is always professional and the atmosphere is vibrant, making every visit a joyful experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you want the real deal in LA, this is it. read more

A more upscale option. The meal wasn't on my dime, so it didn't hit as hard, but this place is expensive. The quality of their meat was good and the banchan were different, maybe elevated like a fresh salad, but I can't say that it was worth. Pajeon for over $25 is more than I'm willing to pay. Skilled grillers and nice staff though. And their egg souffle was dank. read more
Great meats that are accompanied with a large variety of side dishes - coupled with amazing service. The restaurant itself is standard inside and valet only in the parking lot for $5. I came around 5:40pm on a Friday evening and there was no line, luckily. The brisket and Galbi were delicious and soft. All side dishes were refilled promptly without you needing to ask for it. The meats came with slices of onion, which were nice to pair with the kimchi. Seafood pancake was also good and on the thinner side. For two people who weren't super hungry, three of these dishes were more than enough. read more
This is probably my 5th or 6th time back at Parks BBQ and the quality is always consistently good every time I come back. I took my family here for a Saturday dinner and waited about 50 mins to get seated. Unfortunately this experience was not the best one compared to the past. In the past I would praise parks for their speedy service however this time it was different. Their service was slow. We asked for a refill on the Banchan and it didn't come until around the end of our meal. I also feel like they've gotten impatient with cooking the meats packing on as much as they can without even waiting for us to finish the last batch that finished cooking which made my meal feel super rushed. Aside from the service, I have no complaints about the quality. The quality has always been top tier. We ordered the P1 which includes Ggot Sal, Parks Gal-Bi, Bulgogi, Beef Brisket, Boneless Beef Short Rib + and added another order of Parks Galbi and beef tongue including their galbi tang, spicy cold noodle and seafood stew which came out to a total of 350 for 4. I asked to adjust the spice level on the tofu stew which in the past you were able to before but not anymore is what they told me. The meat was perfectly marbled and super good quality. I love their marinated galbi the most. Overall Parks is definitely still really consistent and good but I think I'm going to start trying other places in ktown! read more

High quality meat, though admittedly a little pricey. My party of 4 ordered the P1 set, which included Ggot Sal, Parks Gal-Bi, Bulgogi, Beef Brisket, and Boneless Beef Short Rib. We also got Mushrooms & Vegetables, Kimchi Stew with Pork, and Tofu Stew with Seafood. It was definitely enough food for the 4 of us, especially since they also give a good number of side dishes. They grill the meat for you at the table, which I really appreciate, and there are also lots of photos at the front of celebrities who've dined here. Good advertising on their part and a clever way to keep guests entertained while waiting for a table. The only thing I didn't like is that it's valet parking only which costs $5. There's no street parking so you have to do valet parking in the lot. read more

Ask the Community - Park's BBQ
Do they have outdoor seating? If so, can a pet dog visit the outdoor seating?
They have outdoor seating but not sure about the dog. I would call them to find out.
Are there tvs to watch playoff games?? Trying to decide if we should adjust our reservation tomorrow or if we can keep it and watch the warriors/kings game. Thanks!
They have tvs there, but not sure if you can request sitting near one (I expect a lot of people will be thinking of the same thing)
Can Parks BBQ seat a large group of 12-15 in the same area?
I'd say yes. There was a huge wedding party there last time we were there.
What's the corkage fee here?
Is their outdoor tented have plastic walls or is there open air flow?
They have actual walls and is enclosed. No open air flow.
Is there a minimum order for Friday night dinner for 2 people ordering Seng Galbi? Can you order just one order of Seng Galbi for a party of 2?
Minimum 2 orders!
Are there gluten free options?
Yes. There are lots of meats, vegetables and soup. Try the Japchae which are noodles made from sweet potatoes
Does any of the food contain nuts?
Is there any outdoor seating still for lunch? Husband is immunocompromised and isn't comfortable dining inside at the moment. I'm seeing conflicting information and wondering which is most current. Thanks in advance!!
How much does it charge from my credit card if I cancel or change my reservation?
4/16/22 - I just made a reservation, and it not require me to provide a credit card. All they ask for is: name, phone number, party #, and desired time.
Are dogs allowed in the outdoor seating area?
I observed small dogs with their owner in the outdoor patio. So it seems at least small dogs are allowed.
Do you need a reservation to eat outdoors here?
yes you will need reservations for all seating here they are extremely popular
Sre theh open for tske out during stay at home order?
Yes. See their mobile Instagram account for a picture of their current takeout menu. Last I looked it was about 5 photos in. The PC Instagram account looks different and I didn't see the menu there. Be sure to order the $9.99 short rib soup. It's…
I know Korean barbecue can get smoky inside, but how smoky is this place compared to others?
It's not too smoky imo eso if you go when it's not too crowded.
