We ordered to go The food was tender bulgogi And very flavorful I will be back and next time eat at the restaurant read more

It was okay overall, but I didn't feel like I was really able to cook my own food. I felt watched the whole time, like I wasn't cooking my meat "right," which took away from the experience. I know how I like my food, so I wasn't a fan of being hovered over or having my food taken off the grill before I felt it was done. I also didn't like that the uncooked meats were being placed with the cooked meat. I prefer to keep those separate, so that was a big downside for me. The squid being mixed with the bulgogi wasn't something I enjoyed either. On top of that, we spent around $90 and barely got much meat, which didn't feel worth the price. We were also handed the check before our time limit was even up, which made us feel rushed. The bulgogi itself was good, and the restaurant was clean, but the overall atmosphere made it hard to fully enjoy the meal. For the price, I feel like you can find better options with higher-quality sides as well. read more

The table sizes are a bit limited and food is ok even though they have a large variety. Their banchan is pretty good as well; they have some really delicious scallion pancakes. Definitely a good place if you're on the Westside and don't want to go all the way to Ktown read more

Was looking for local KBBQ and stumbled upon Pine Tree. Very local and easily accessible for me so that's a huge plus. All of the meats were fresh and delicious and came out on time. Their salt/vinegar combo with the jalapeño was absolutely delicious I kept asking for more. They have legit Korean soup spoons (IYKYK)!!! Another huge plus in my book. One thing, however, that prevents this place from being 5 star for me, is that they don't have rice paper! I absolutely love rice paper with my KBBQ, so that's was a huge let down for me. I will absolutely be coming back, but will remember to bring my own rice paper! BYORP! read more

Great Food -excellent price- good service, they don't rush you. Lots of variety to choose from-will go back there for sure.

We came for a friend's birthday party. Looks like a new restaurant in a less visited plaza off 405. However when I stepped in, I waited for 15 mins to be seated as they were very short staffed. Nevertheless, food was good. We ordered AYCE $39.99 Menu B and were happy about the portion and quality of the meat. The room was a bit more smokier than I would like. If they keep the door open they won't be a problem! read more

Pine Tree KBBQ - James in from Madison WI wanted Korean BBQ, so we ended up here! - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A really great option for AYCE Korean bbq on a budget with a 2-6 person group. Finally decided to try this place with a couple buddies and was not disappointed. I like this place because it's quiet and family friendly. There is no edm music, no dark lighting, and there are maybe 8 tables total. If you're down for brisket, pork belly, and maybe a marinated option, BBQ A is a great option. Nothing special, just lots of meat and 90 min of conversation. Will be coming back soon. read more

Nice prices. Friendly staff. Good jeon. We had ayce and takeout several times. Meat is good quality.

I finally got around to visiting Pine Tree KBBQ. I am sorry I forgot my phone at home so I do not have any photos. The restaurant is small but cozy and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They have several options. Order off the regular menu or a few options from the "All you can eat" menu. If you order from the "All you can eat" menu, everyone at your table must order the same. Since I went me my cousins family her and her 2 young adult children and another adult (6 of us in total) we went for the all you can eat option 5 meats for $28.95 (they also have larger more expensive options). You have 90 minutes to cook and finish your food. We started with Angus beef, marinated bbq chicken, and spicy pork. The meats came with some small sides, cold broccoli, kimchee, diakon, and what we thought was a bit of cold mashed potatoes, and a small portion of scallion pancakes. It was an effort to get the meat cooked! It took two people to get it done and by the time it was done, they had switched out the grill 3 times. It had been an hour and by that time we were pretty much full. I am not sure how anyone can get through the larger all you can eat options within the short time frame. We ended up ordering one last meat, the Berkshire pork belly slices even though we still hadn't tried the spicy bbq chicken. It was just too much trouble to be honest and we were out of time. The beef was very bland but they provided a couple of dipping sauces. The chicken was seasoned nicely. The spicy pork was my favorite. The Berkshire Pork belly was good but of course you can't go wrong with something that tastes like bacon. However, it still needed a dip in soy sauce. This place is good for a fun experience if you have never been to Korean BBQ. I have been before but the family wanted to try it. I prefer NOT to cook my own food when I go out, lol. Give it shot. The place is clean and the staff is great and the price is right. read more

They didn't let me dine all you can eat because I came by myself. So stupid! I'm glad I called first before wasting my time driving there.

I this the angus beef brisket on the AYCe menu was really delicious followed by the marinated bbq chicken. The Kimchee and marinated daikon ban Chan tasted great, along with the steamed egg soup. It's a great menu if you are hungry and I thought the quality is very high. I would come back again. read more

I've been a repeat customer since I was in 4th grade and this place used to be called Galbi King. The staff is incredibly reliable and friendly and everything is always so delicious and marinated perfectly. It's cozy and casual, and always ends up filling up fast. Best KBBQ place on the west side. read more

Food was really good, huge portions, staff is very sweet and helped cook the meat at times. Super clean small intimate restaurant and for sure worth the price! Would highly recommend! read more

Great KBBQ in the west side!!!!! The meat is fresh the place is immaculate clean . Service is on point the staff is attentive and if you need a grill change they are on it. Great food , service and price is really affordable. So Hurry to the west side to get your KBBQ on and enjoy I know I am !!!! read more

Came out from San Francisco on a quick work trip with friends and wanted to try some Korean BBQ. Honestly super disappointing experience. Service was hella slow, the grill stayed burnt and ashy in front of us forever, and the meat was brought out with basically no care. Most of the staff couldn't really communicate in English except one server, and the place wasn't even busy. On top of that, prices were way too high for what you get and the menu/options felt really limited compared to other KBBQ spots. Definitely expected way better. Wouldn't come back or recommend it personally. read more

Meat was good quality, grills were efficient at cooking them, and the waitress was very attentive. They also gave our large table a lot of meat at once so we were able to dig in asap which is a huge plus. We definitely got to eat as we wanted which can be a concern at some kbbq places. The tables are pretty small, comfortably fitting 6 but we had a larger party so we split up. Also the pricing is highk really reasonable especially for being a rare kbbq place in west LA. The menu is very no nonsense but they readily provide everything you need and it's a cute little place. I'd definitely go again! read more

We love eating at pine tree! Food always fresh and comes out fast. We love how friendly the staff is and always greats us when they recognize us. I love bringing new people to try our goto kbbq spot read more

My partner and I traveled to Pine tree KBBQ during lunchtime and was surprised to hear that this restaurant does not carry rice paper. If this is a non negotiable for you, be sure to bring your own rice paper or visit a different restaurant. We were disappointed about this however the food, service, quality and smaller space were all excellent. We paid $40 per person for the all you can eat premium meats. The beef bulgologi was delicious and we also loved the egg drop soup. read more

Very cute hole in the wall place. It's pretty small. It's run basically solo by a sweet old Korean lady. She's very attentive and had great service. read more

The brisket was marinated and everything had some sort of flavor so it doesn't get boring with the flavor and the servers are nice they also bring out a lot of appetizers when you come in so you don't get hungry read more

Would recommend! It was around $25 a person for the cheapest option for AYCE. I thought it was a good value and overall really enjoyed my experience here! I'd definitely recommend it to people in West LA who are avoiding making the journey to KTown. My only critique would be that the banchan selection was a little limited, but overall I would come back! read more

Love the service, not as much meat selection than other kbbq places but if you want budget friendly this is the spot!

Sadly not as good as Galbi King. Was really hoping this place would be the West LA goto as G King was before definitely not. No rice paper wraps or potato salad with the Banchan?? My 3 star rating is generous... read more

Haggling us for tip despite us cooking our own food is crazy. The older woman working was profiling us the whole time we ate there. Maybe they ain't used to seeing some adult woman Mexicans joking around and talking as we eat. Plus you can find better deals in the dtla area. read more

I'm sorry but the value is just not there and ultimately not worth your time. For either menu A or B, it's cheap frozen meat that looks straight from the Korean market that's very bland. They barely give you sauce and small selection of banchan that tastes off. You also get a choice of soybean paste stew or steamed egg and let me tell you both were pathetic looking. It's overpriced for what they are serving you. Service is ok but not exactly welcoming. I don't like to write bad reviews but I was truly disappointed and it's the least I've ever eaten at a kbbq spot. read more

This replaced Galbi King and they are a great place to eat Korean bbq. Gotta love the AYCE and the meat is good quality (not prime but good). Great service read more

The bulgogi wuakity is higher. The short rib is not as good as before. The regular beef is as good. They also have higher quality meats but are expensive, just as any other Korean bbq place. They sell alcohol. I always order Terra beer. One of the prior employees is still there serving, but there are new people learning and might take some time to catch up. Price is a bit higher for all-you-can-eat, but not that much. It is still affordable. There are better options downtown but this is closer to me. read more

I live by the beach and I'm Glad I found this spot. It's your standard kbbq restaurant, reminds me of road to Seoul, expect you don't have to deal with the traffic driving to ktown. They have a solid selection of items. Some places in ktown have more or luxurious items, but for the price and for being close you can't beat it. If you live around the area or live in Santa Monica or Venice I encourage you to try it out. Staff is friendly. Overall good experience. read more

tastes great also very affordable and great fast service super duper would recommend to everyone

Newer furniture and better decor than the old Galbi King, have not yet tried the kbbq here... ... but the soon tofu somehow got even worse than the old Galbi King, and that was not an unusually high bar to start. Something about the quality of both the tofu and the seasoning itself seems lower than even the average you get in k-town, and while I don't expect k-town quality in west LA, I was hoping to at least maintain the prior Galbi King quality. read more

Very tasty Korean bbq at a great price. Non pushy to get you out the door either which is nice. Parking in the back which helps out a lot.

My roommate and I walked here and were really impressed with the food here! It's a hole in the wall with an AYCE menu and I think just about every cut we had was pretty delicious. It was a nice 20min walk for us so def worth the venture. We will def be stopping back here again as they really did a great job of being attentive to our appetite and bringing the meat out quick and everything was quality! read more

Great service. fresh food!! The staff is really nice and provide great service. Will come back!

This place is a delicious hole in the wall for AYCE KBBQ! Located near UCLA ( 10 minute drive ) this place offers convenient KBBQ for a great price (27.95) all day, with an optional $5 increase for their $34 dollar menu! Parking was a little bit difficult at night, but they have a parking lot! The meats were ginormous and had generous portions, and they also serve a variety of delicious sides, such as scallion pancakes, fish cake, and kimchi and radish soup! What makes this place stand out is that it's a mom and pop run store, so it really gives a traditional family style feel! My go-tos include the brisket and the juicy pork belly! Service was extremely fast and convenient, and the waiters were super friendly and generous! Would definitely come again when I'm in the area! This is a great spot for your family and friends. read more
