    Kimchi Fried Rice
    Lawrence P.

    Great Korean BBQ spot. I've been wanting to try Quarters for a while now so booked a table for my sister's birthday. Came at opening on a weekday afternoon to avoid the crowd and lack of parking. There were 5 of us so we got the jumbo combo along with a couple orders of the kimchi fried rice. Everything tasted great - meat was good quality and I always love when you get staff to cook the meat for you. I'm always the designated griller at KBBQ so it's nice to sit back and let somebody else handle it once in a while. The beef belly and short ribs were my favorite. I also love that they give you a giant cheese fondue that lasts through all the meat. Kimchi fried rice was also killer (which is why we got a second order). The service was alright. Although everything came out quickly and we had people grilling for us, it seemed like it was all done begrudgingly. It was fine though. We had a good time and the food was equally good.

    We came here on a Saturday night after a baseball game. Parked in a pay lot and walked up around 10PM. The wait for 4 was 10-15 minutes. The service and staff was friendly. We had the short rib, bulgogi, shrimp, and pork belly. Everything was delicious- the best part was the short rib. The staff cooks everything for you, so that was nice. The prices were moderate. The side dishes were good. This place could be great if they had more side dish options (was missing the cucumber kimchi and fishcake) and if they had rice paper or radish to wrap the meet in. The meal needed a starch of some kind. A cool part was they had a wall with celebrity signatures by the bathrooms. Really cool to see the different celebs that have visited.

    Went to celebrate my birthday, and while it was fun having someone grill for us, the overall experience wasn't anything crazy. Given all the hype, I expected something mind-blowing. There's definitely a lot of clout around this place and it makes for a good "have you been to Quarters?" conversation starter. Beyond that, there's not much reason to visit as you can get an unlimited meat selection with comparable quality across the street. I live just around the corner and had been meaning to try it for a while. Glad I can finally cross it off the list, on to the next spot.

    Ooookay Quarters I see you! It's been a hot spot at Chapman Plaza for ages and when I say hot spot, I mean expect it to be packed, rowdy and loud at this KBBQ. There's a lot of good at Quarters, they have a full bar people can go up to while waiting for their table which is nice for people. They have TVs all over so if you want to see the World Cup or Dodgers game, they'll surely be playing it here. A great thing is they DO take reservations, a rarity in KBBQs in the city. Keep in mind that doesn't mean immediate seating, tables still need to turn so if you have kids, you could be waiting 20 minutes post ressie time like my group did last week. Now the food was great! I would put their eats squarely in the middle of the mid-price-range Korean BBQs in the city. A surprising highlight was their corn cheese which felt a bit more creamy than other spots! I enjoyed their marinades and meats for this price point and they cooked all our meat for us. Our server did get scolded at one point for letting our meat burn a bit, but it wasn't too bad and didn't effect things much. I was also surprised how much I loved their banchans! That broccoli and potato salad and I also love when a place has rice paper! My favvvvvvvv~! I was kind of surprised they didn't replace any of our banchans when we ran out, however when we asked they did give us more without issue. I think we might have had a new server helping us, so all good. Overall, enjoyed all the food and especially their banchans! If the loud and fun atmosphere is your style, you'll love Quarters! I'm sure I'll be back to this LA classic spot again soon!

    I've been coming to this Korean bbq spot for years now! Service is fast & I never really have to wait super long but I have waited an hour before because it's just that much worth it! Usually for 2 ppl and drinks we spend about $200 with tip and I never complain, it's definitely a treat. It's always super clean I can't just not recommend this place. Servers in the photo chefs kiss, cooked my food to my liking and cut fat just like I asked

    Really solid Korean bbq place. We came around 2:30 pm and the place was packed with people. You can make reservations on resy beforehand which is convenient. We did combo 2 which came with pork jowl, bulgogi, short rib, and beef belly. They threw in a bunch of complementary items as well which was nice. We got a kimchi pancake, tofu stew, and cheese fondue. Would definitely recommend coming by! Parking is a bit difficult, it's either $20 for parking near the restaurant, street parking, or free neighborhood parking. Staff were all efficient and nice. They grill your meat for you!

    Quarters is a popular KBBQ spot in Koreatown that I've been hearing about and I finally visited for the first time. The quality of meat is great and I love the flavors and textures of the cuts! My party of 4 ordered a Large Combo which came with a variety of beef and pork options and a kimchi or soybean stew. The portions were smaller than I expected, but still filling, maybe more for a party of 3 than 4 people. The ribeye was tender and the marinated short rib was delicious! The cut of the pork belly and pork jowl made a difference for me, it was on thick side which I personally prefer. But I would have to say, I'm not a fan of the spicy pork jowl. Though the flavor was okay, the quality wasn't as good as the non-marinated version. The banchans were delicious, my party really liked the green onion salad, rice paper, and potato salad! The servers were attentive and kept checking in on our meats, making sure it was grilled properly, though our marinated beef short rib did get burned a little in the beginning. The sides were refilled when requested. The place was pretty busy so I recommend making a reservation

    Delicious food! The service was good, but the vibe was great. This is definitely more of a trendy spot in Koreatown, I've been in a couple times and have had good experiences each time. It's definitely on the pricier side, but it is very good if you decide to go.

    Went to Koreatown to check out a popular KBBQ spot called Quarters. Their menu is à la carte but they have combos you can order. I ordered combo 2 which was $105 but comes with 4 different meats, banchan and your choice of a soup. The meats included, beef belly, pork jowl, short rib and bulgogi. All the meats were tender and seasoned well. The meal comes with 4 sauces that included brisket sauce, salt, chimichurri and a spicy sauce. The servers here cook for you so you don't have to. Just sit back to relax and enjoy your meal. Once one meat is done they will move it to the side and begin cooking the next meat. There is really no down time so we finished the meal in about 1 hour. Parking can be tough but the lot in the back is $10. I have found meter parking when I came here so try circling around or going one back away.

    Bulgogi :)
    Jenny Q.

    Yum! We came here early on a Friday afternoon, so it was totally empty :) My husband and I shared the beef combo, which comes with brisket, rib eye, and grilled bulgogi, along with some vegetables and your choice of kimchi or soybean stew (we picked kimchi). The meat quality was pretty good and I love that they grill the meat for you here! The brisket tasted pretty standard, but the bulgogi was surprisingly really good. I like how thinly sliced and perfectly marinated it was. My favorite side was their salad, which had a refreshing, flavorful dressing. The kimchi stew was way too salty in my opinion, so we only ate a few bites of it. My husband really liked their spicy pancake side dish (no idea what it's actually called, lol). The interior was huge with lots of tables. Our server was polite and efficient with cooking our meats. Luckily we were able to park in the lot for $4, but the lot doesn't have that much space and the spaces are pretty small. Not sure if parking is more expensive on evenings/weekends, and also not sure what other parking options there are if the lot fills up.

    Food was definitely not a five or four star experience. The meat was very fatty and also they sat us in the same booth a table that was finishing up. The people were friendly in the table so we sat down, but I'm sure that all the little condiments were sitting out for a cool minute, and they still decided to sit us there. Regardless it was OK until I went to the freaking bathroom. This is not cute in anyway and left a bad taste in my mouth after already finishing my food I figured who the hell runs a restaurant and has their bathroom look like this like people are gonna go in there and just be like what the fuck why couldn't they send anybody to clean that damn bathroom. Ew.

    Tried Quarters, a true LA staple, and overall thought it was pretty good. It was not the best KBBQ I've had in LA, but the meat was definitely quality and some cuts stood out more than others. It is a bit pricey, though, and while we made a reservation, we still had to wait around 10 minutes for a table. The waiting area was packed and so was the restaurant, which took away from the appeal a little at the start. That said, the large combo was more than enough food for three people and overall the meal was solid. I'm not sure I would rush back since I think there are other KBBQ spots in LA that offer a little better value, but Quarters is still a solid choice for quality KBBQ.

    Meat was so tender & flavorful. Recommend 10/10 to anyone. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

I think I've been coming here for a very, very long time--probably for about 20 years! I used to come here quite often back then. At some point, though, I stopped coming as much because the parking situation in this shopping center became so busy and chaotic that it was difficult to even get in from the entrance. Also, the last time I came here, maybe two years ago, the valet parking attendant was so rude that I didn't really feel like coming back. This time, since we were already in the area for the spa, we decided to stop by again. Back when I first started coming here, it was just a very small noodle restaurant. One thing they've kept all these years--and what I think is such a great touch--is that they still serve yeolmu kimchi and kkom-bori-bap (barley rice) as a complimentary side. The restaurant became incredibly popular over the years and eventually expanded into the neighboring space, so there are now many more tables than there used to be. Since it had been such a long time since my last visit, I noticed they had quite a few new menu items that weren't available before, including galbi-jjim (braised short ribs), samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup), and galbi noodle soup. One of my brothers and I ordered the perilla oil makguksu each, and it was absolutely delicious! It had such a rich, nutty flavor from the perilla oil, and it was one of those dishes that makes you think about it again later. In the past, I would always order the clam kalguksu whenever I came here, but this time I decided to try something different. My other brother ordered the clam kalguksu, and my mom had the dolsot (Hot stone) bibimbap. I tried a spoonful of my mom's dolsot bibimbap because I really like bibimbap too, and it was delicious as well. In the past, the wait here used to be incredibly long. You had to write your name and phone number by hand at the entrance, and then a staff member would come outside and call your name when your table was ready. This time, the system was different. We were told to simply wait in line, and she would take our orders outside. She said the wait would only be about 5-10 minutes, and she was absolutely right. While we were waiting in line outside, she handed us menus, took our orders, and then seated us at our table. The food came out quickly, the service was very friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious. It turned out to be a very satisfying dinner. After coming back here again after such a long time, I completely understood why this place has been so popular for so many years. It was just as popular back then as it is now, and honestly, I can see why!

On top of that, the interior is clean, cute, and very well-kept. Parking is quite limited, though--even with valet service, it gets super congested.

Because of that, getting a table is usually pretty tough, but we got so lucky last Sunday and were seated right away. The food was absolutely divine, and we left completely satisfied. Honestly, I almost wish fewer people knew about this place so I could come more often. They're just that good.

Service is quite slow, as a true mom and pop place. It's quite popular and we happened to get there just before the rush as there was a large group waiting when we left. I'm not sure why it takes quite so long for the boribap jungsik cold dishes since most of it is premade and just needs plating. For a long time all we got was fried kelp crackers, kinda greasy fried shrimp cracker (?) and scorched rice water that was very tough to eat. The sweet pumpkin porridge was better, but I'm not a fan of sweet porridge. The rest of the set was better, fortunately, but most of it was on par with banchan that is complimentary at other restaurants but of course more variety. The savory pancake was very crispy and stayed that way. That was probably my favorite from the set, along with the perilla seed and chicken soup. The texture was quite thick like gravy but I love congee and it had a similar feel but nuttier taste. I would love a bowl of this if I were sick. Since there were 3 of us, we thought a protein would be good so we ordered the pork ribs. They were pretty good. It reminded me of hamji park, although I prefer hamji. It ended up being more food than we could eat so we took some of the ribs home. I'm glad we ordered the set for 2 and then shared a different dish. Overall I'm glad I tried it since I've been curious. The meal was good but I probably would try another option next time.

If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.

GREAT value…read more i was craving korean home-style cooking and found this place. it's got affordable lunch specials under $20. i was really surprised at just how much food i received for just $20... giant plate of sizzinging. perfectly seasoned pork ribs & onions with a really nice char. a big cup of rice, a really great banchan spread with lots of variety, and a massive bowl of broth with such a great mild flavor to balance the spicy banchan and rich pork. it was phenomenal, cured my tummy ache, and immediately took me back to my trip to korea many years ago. i inhaled everything but there was so much food i ended up with a big takeout bag. i kid you not this one $20 meal has turned into like 4 meals for me. pork turned into lettuce wraps, rice fried and mixed with eggs , broth used to elevate a cheap ramen. i WILL be back. i wish i could have bought some of the banchan as an extra charge or something so i could take it home with me because im STILL dreaming of it. the inside has good a/c and a cute homely atmosphere. and the staff was incredibly kind and helped me choose what to eat and helped me pack up the broth once i was done eating. you can see the giant goblet of boiling broth in the kitchen as you eat. easy parking behind the restaurant and in the street.
