    I happened upon this charming K-BBQ restaurant in La Cañada Flintridge. The place was clean, food (hot pot bibimbap, side dishes) was really good, and maybe it was because it wasn't busy when I went there (12-1pm-ish), but service was quick and efficient, despite there being only one server. If I'm in town again, I'll definitely make another visit. 정말 감사합니다!!!

    Food is great

    The customer service was very good. Very nice workers that kept us entertained and having a good time. Would come back later down the road

    Lots of tables. I don't think they ever get full. Service is good. - Dolpan Bibimbap 3.8/5 Lots of vegetables and it was pretty good. Just a normal bibimbap on a big stone plate. It's definitely shareable. - Marinated Galbi 2.1/5 One order for this small piece (picture is two pieces cut in half) and it's almost $80. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT. We complained about how small the galbi was so they gave a soybean soup and a steamed egg for free (they knew it was small). Next to market, free parking.

    I couldn't drive to Korea town for Cold noodles. So I came to a place much closer to me. The mool naeng myun (cold noodles) is good here, and I would come back.

    Awesome place! My gf and I didn't know this place even existed until one day we just looked up KBBQ near us and this place popped up! We ordered the Beef Combo S ($129.99) and it was just enough for us both to get full but not "overly full" as you normally would get with your regular KBBQ places. They do NOT have an all you can eat/buffet special however the portioning was good and they constantly refill the sauces / rice paper / kimchi etc. The service was friendly & welcoming! The restaurant was clean and smelled like Good BBQ. We'll be back!!

    I love this place not just for KBBQ, but for other Korean comfort foods. It was a cold day and I wanted to try their Budae-Jjigae (army stew), because I've seen other diners order it and it looks amazing. I came here on a Saturday evening and it was bustling. Luckily there was an open table for us so we got seated quickly. There were only two ladies working at the time, so they were busy running around, but we didn't mind waiting. I was busy snacking on the yummy banchan- their kimchi is addicting! We ordered the budae-jjigae and it was enough for at least four people. The stew was filled with cuts of sausage, spam, kimchi, onion, beef, tofu, and a block of ramen noodles. It was placed on the table stove-top so it was constantly boiling. The flavor was so tasty and I loved all the ingredients inside. I was very pleased with this dish and I will be returning just to get this again.

    I have been eating at this restaurant for the past 8 years and I highly recommend them. This place is conveniently located in our town and there is absolutely no need to go all the way to K town for good Korean food. I have just had extensive dental implants put in and cannot eat anything besides soft foods like stews and soups. I went there for dinner and ordered the kimchi tofu soup with mushrooms and zucchini and the young lady Michelle was ever so kind to accommodate my request. She even brought me a side of potatoes that was soft and delicious. The soup as you can see in the picture is absolutely amazing delicious and fresh. They NEVER disappoint! Anyone looking for good quality Korean food this is the place to go.

    This was a surprisingly tasty Korean BBQ find on the border between La Crescenta and La Canada. The telltale sign of a good Asian restaurant is that there are Asians of that country eating there. I wasn't craving kbbq on this night. I just didn't feel like cooking. We ordered the galbitang, hamulpajeon and the bibimbap. The galbitang hit the spot, nice clear broth, plentiful chunks of short rib meat, lots of gristle. The hamulpajeon is one of my favorites. It is light batter with tons of octopus and green onions. Although we didn't order the kbbq, everyone else in the place did. Guess that means I have to come back and try it.

    Easy parking since it's a shopping complex lot. BONUS: During peak Friday/weekend hours we just come here to avoid the LONG LONG wait at other k-bbq spots such as Gen Korean BBQ House in Glendale (1hr 45min wait). Decent banchan and good meat quality. Wouldn't say it's top choice but does the deed. No issues with customer service as others had mentioned. The Seoul Cham Soot BBQ team promptly changed the grill and brought items we need to re-up on.

    Seoul Cham Soot BBQ is probably better known for sit down al a carte meats, but they got some good dishes thats not meat. I came here because I know they serve cold korean noodles, so on a hot day, it's probably worth stopping by to refresh yourself. I would love if the soup were colder, but I guess you can also ask them to add more ice or something

Their baby back, spare ribs, and brisket are fantastic with sauces on the side if you wanted to more BBQ sauce to your BBQ meat! Though in my opinion, I don't need it usually, as the meats are already so flavorful as is! I'd say its great for groups, though a bit pricy, but boy is this good, hearty, fall of the bone, BBQ! The servers have always been great and kind and even when we were celebrating a birthday last visit, they brought out a icecream Sundae with a candle! Very sweet! I talked to a man at the South Pasadena museum and told us that Gus's is the oldest BBQ establishment in California, serving hungry patrons since 1946. They haven't been in business in over 70 years for nothing! Thought it's been a long time, the place is still well maintained and updated so it still is nice and clean, but still keeping its historic core. Come by this meaty institution for their renowned classic American barbaque, with great libations, great food and amazing service with tasty history!

Ribs Plate Combo with mac and cheese and cornbread for my sides. The ribs were almost falling off the bone but still with a bit of chew on it, which I appreciated because I don't like mushy meat. The sauce was tangy and sticky and not too vinegary. Good stuff, but couldn't finish so it came home with me. The big surprise was the cornbread. Most BBQ places concentrate on the meat and leave the sides as afterthoughts so that means cornbreads tend to be disappointingly dry. Not this one. This cornbread was moist and flavorful. The mac and cheese was just okay. Should have gone with the beans. My dining companion and I also got to sample some sliders and they were pretty damn good. Wish those had been on the menu. Service was good although, most people were taking their food to go. The atmosphere inside was warm for a cool day and almost too warm as my companion had to shed her jacket before we started eating so she wouldn't overheat. Not sure I'd be able eat inside on a hot summer day. They do cater and parking is street and a miniscule parking in the back. I believe it's only credit/debit only, but check first. Pricing is reasonable, but remember, it is beef you're paying for so definitely a splurge day. Happy eating!!!

I didn't have anyone with me telling me that eating a four-pack of high calorie, high carb, and high cholesterol meals in less than 100 hours probably wasn't the smartest idea. But, holy hells, was it worth it. Sometimes you've just got to say eff it and go for the barbecue. Especially when the spare rib plates shine like a new pin like at Max City. I enjoyed the way this platter came out with all those half-dozen St. Louis ribs piled up like a stack of wood next to the pristine Mac and the even better baked beans. And, as a famous eater once said, I especially enjoyed the experience of getting them in my belly. I don't know if I've ever mentioned it before, but this unholy trinity is a serious contender for what I'd want as my last meal on Earth. Ribs. Mac. Beans. Simple. The service was great here. It was like cozying up to your local bbq joint and being greeted like you were a regular. Every word and smile was genuine, and they moved to get you your meal with purpose. The ambiance was grand. It was like you'd been let in on the secret of a great hole-in-the-wall bbq speakeasy and you were doing your best to soak it all in. It's not the biggest location and definitely not tye most upscale, but I'm of the belief the best barbecue spots aren't pretentious and aren't trying to wow you with pizazz. They just want to get a good meal in you and send you home happy. Max City does this in spades. I don't know how often I'll make it out this way to Eagle Rock before I die someday. But I've been thinking if my time should happen to expire eating a caseful of ribs, mac, and beans--that would be such a heavenly way to pass. At least I'd be doing something I love.

    We have had food from The Swinging Door Texas BBQ before, although it was quite a long time ago,…read moreand back then it was fantastic. After all this time, we decided to give it another try and get some food to go. First, I want to mention that the young woman at the counter was very nice and friendly. She is actually the reason I'm giving this place two stars. Before I get to the food, though, there is something I have wanted to say for a long time about restaurants and takeout orders. Why don't restaurants simply ASK customers whether they need plastic cutlery before automatically throwing it into every takeout bag? When I order food to go, chances are I'm taking it home, where--believe it or not--I actually own forks, knives, and spoons. I don't need another little package of plastic utensils that goes straight into the trash. Wouldn't it make sense from a business standpoint as well? Ask the customer, "Do you need utensils?" If the answer is no, you don't give them any. The restaurant has to buy less plastic cutlery, saves some money, and maybe some of those savings could eventually be reflected in the prices customers are paying. Isn't that kind of a no-brainer when you're running a business? And then there is the environmental aspect. I know that unnecessary waste doesn't seem to concern everybody in this country very much, but seriously, doesn't anybody care how much unnecessary plastic trash we produce? In the country I'm originally from, people have been taught for decades to take recycling seriously and to avoid unnecessary waste whenever possible. Don't automatically hand out plastic utensils, bags, etc. when people don't need them. Just ASK. It really doesn't require much effort. Okay, now to the food. As I said, I used to LOVE the food from this place. I love American BBQ in general, so I was really looking forward to it. For two meals, we ended up paying more than $60. At that price, I expected considerably more than what we received. My spouse ordered a combo with pork ribs, brisket, baked beans, garlic bread, and an extra cornbread. I ordered the tri-tip with mac and cheese and garlic bread. What happened to this place? I will give credit where credit is due: **the brisket was very good. Really good, actually.** Unfortunately, that was pretty much the highlight. The pork ribs were WAY too tough for BBQ. And the so-called "garlic bread"? Calling this garlic bread is almost an offense to garlic bread. Rubbery, tasteless, and just plain gross. Then there was my meal, which I had really been looking forward to. The tri-tip was tough as shoe soles. It also had the strangest coloration I've ever seen--pink on the outside and well-done on the inside. I honestly don't know how you even accomplish that. I've eaten at plenty of BBQ restaurants over the years, and I don't remember ever seeing tri-tip looking like that. And the mac and cheese... I'm a mac and cheese fan, so this one particularly hurt. Bland and soupy. Calling this mac and cheese was almost insulting to mac and cheese. And yes, I got the same excuse for "garlic bread" that my spouse did. Just awful. It's really disappointing because we remembered this place as having fantastic food. Maybe we caught them on a particularly bad day, but when you're spending more than $60 on takeout for two people, there shouldn't be this many things wrong with the meal. So, yep. I guess this was the very last time we'll be getting food from here. Sorry, Swinging Door. I really wanted to still like you.
