These days, this is my go-to spot for meat--one stop and everything's taken care of! If I want the kkotsal 꽃살 (prime flap meat) cut a certain thickness, I just let them know in advance and they prepare it exactly how I like. For brisket, they only roll it by hand, which my family insists on, so there's no way we can skip this place. Their top-quality tenderloin cuts are also perfect for bulgogi. Honestly, for our family, we have to use this cut for mille-feuille nabe--anything else for shabu-shabu feels too tough, no matter how soft it looks. Everyone in the house knows this is the only cut that truly satisfies. They even have meat for yukhoe 육회(Korean beef tartare), and when we buy it, we enjoy it so much at home. At this price, it's unbeatable. If we go out to eat, it costs around $35 for such a small portion, but here we get everything we want in one stop. read more

Shin Sun Meat - Since it's a bit of a drive, I usually ask them to pack the meat with ice, and they even provide a reusable bag, which is super convenient. - Meat Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best quality, fresh cut meat for cooking Korean BBQ sold in Koreatown If you have the person in your family who has to cook the whole family's meat on Thanksgiving, I recommend coming here for some fresh meat shopping & gift for Thanksgiving. Note: This place is very well-known for some quality briskets and variety of other fresh meats, also has homemade Korean mandoo dumplings (packed frozen for cooking) You can save a lot of money by cooking KBBQ at home , bring some meat home & cook while waiting for the Turkey to cook for Thanksgiving or instead of turkey, try the duck meat take-out to cook at home . Only $15 for the cheapest option (오리주물럭) They also have smoked duck meat, THICK Pork bellys and samgyupsals, really tasty and fresh. For AYCE Korean BBQ places, you can only eat so much (your belly has limited space) but you can save these meats in freezer section for cooking later ! Plus, so much cheaper than going out for dinner Great for gifting others - family, friends, co-workers for top grade fresh meats ! The owner is very kind and friendly, Overall very good business, I keep going back :) read more

My family had been buying meat here for about 5 years. We don't live nearby but had consistently been coming to this shop. My preferred choice is the marinated short rib. What used to be fresh is no longer the case. Weird stench from meat as if it had been sitting out for a prolonged period of time. When we asked the worker, they had stated it was 'fresh & packaged' today. In closing--in the plastic packaging, full meats (meat & bones) are on top where you can see through--where you can't see, there's only bones. WTF. read more

Shin Sun Meat - the size of the meat on the grill - Meat Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I can't speak for the service as the order was given to us as a Christmas gift from a relative, but it was delicious!!

This is literally my first ever yelp review - couldn't help but leave a 5-star on this shop as these are the types of businesses I'd genuinely love to support. The owners were so sweet, had thoughtfully explained all kinds of meat they were offering and included a couple freebies as a first-time customer (green onion salad, pickled onions & jalapeño). Even threw some ice packs inside my bag for transport as I bought A LOT for a family trip I have coming up to Big Bear. Will definitely be back. read more

We've been going in to purchase some meat every now and then. It's really fresh and prices are affordable. They are super friendly and sweet to their customers. Also, they like to give freebies (rice wraps/house-made sauces) to new customers. read more

Great spot to buy kbbq meat in bulk. I bought their galbi and brisket. They have really quality meat and it tasted very good.

My favorite meat shop. Yes it is more expensive than meat from regular supermarket. But overall quality is great and consistent. You know that you're going to get good quality meat here every single time, you can't really say for regular supermarket, which is more inconsistent. read more

My mom likes to purchase meat from here so I decided to go on my own and give them a try. Looked like a family established. I went Christmas morning and looked like the whole family was helping out that day. Picked up some small intestines and large intestines. - Very fresh. - Price is bit higher than the markets but better quality. Parking lot is available in front of the store. read more

The meats are fantastic and the staff are extremely knowledgeable about the meats and the pairing of side-dishes and other options. Ample parking, open early and closes late. read more

This is my go-to place for the best quality meat! You get what you pay for and the meat from this butcher shop is far superior to anything you can find in any supermarket. My favorite cuts are the rib eye, short rib, pork belly, and cote ssal. They also sell pre-marinated meats as well as delicious side dishes (banchan). read more

Amazing quality meat and friendly service. Their pork belly is the best. Have sides as well to make kbbq at home.

If you're looking to do korean bbq at home and want quality meats, this is the place to go. Some of the meat is pretty pricey, but the quality is excellent and after comparing their prices to different meat shops, this one is so far the best deal without a sacrifice to quality. There's a H Mart nearby too that sells meat, and yes this place is cheaper with better quality. The only way you might be able to get it cheaper is buying in bulk and cutting the meat yourself. read more

This place has Best Kimchi..u should try it. when you cook pork belly especially...so heavenly read more

Very kind and helpful, will be back again! Answered every question with detail, and all the employees seem to be knowledgeable. Also very generous with the portions! read more

Went for the first time today per a friend's recommendation. I was a bit weary after reading some reviews about their steep price, but I actually found it pretty reasonable for the quality you get. I've always hated market chadol because it's too tough, but the quality here was very good. So worth the extra $. I was a bit bummed that I was only allowed to buy 3 packages of it. (Not sure if the limit is a temporary thing.) Service was fast and efficient. I will definitely be coming back! read more

My go-to meat store - good quality meat, but a bit overpriced.. Still recommend if people are in search for good brisket, pork, etc. etc.

This meat market is small but mighty. It has great quality proteins and their extras (ssamjjang, radish wrap, green onion, kimchi, soy pickled radish and peppers etc... are home made and delicious). I highly recommend their pork Jowel and rolled kalbi! read more

I tried here about twice, I always get the Chadol and the Marinated Galbi. The first time I got both was pretty good but it wasn't amazing. The quality was okay but it just tasted like other meat you can get from all you can eat. The second time I tried here it wasn't satisfying. I paid about $40 for two pounds of both and thats actually pretty cheap. But the quality wasn't what I think I paid for. They were really fresh but not that tasty. Overall, if you want quantity over quality, this is the place, but personally not of my favorite. There's too much difference between other korean butchers I've tried. 3 stars because it was aright read more

I have been going to this establishment for the past 3 years now. I NEVER buy Korean meat (marinated or not) at the market, as the quality is far inferior to Shin Sun Meat! The price might be about $1 more per pound for all items, but the quality, taste and freshness is far superior to anything you can buy at a market. I've been to other butchers in K-town, and this place is the best. The owners are extremely friendly, and get this....they are open 365 days out of the year! They never have a day off! I've told them they should take the holidays off, but they want to stay open for their loyal customers! So, what do I get there? They have everything! Everything you would find at a Korean bbq restaurant...they have there and you can enjoy in your own home! I like to get the thin brisket, pork bellies, unmarinated rib-eye pieces, marinated kalbi, and if I feel saucy, I'll get some intestines as well! They have all the sides from fresh veggies, to "banchan" that are home-made and MSG-free, so it's definitely a one-stop shop! Make sure to check this place out...you won't regret it!!! read more

This business needs to be closed. This business cheats customers. When my family bought a marinated Korean bbq, there was more bones in the package than meat. The price of item is very expensive and service is very bad too! Will not shop at this place again. read more

All of their meat selections are fresh and of good quality. If you are an AYCE type, don't bother coming here - you won't appreciate the quality. But, if you prefer quality over quantity, this is the place to shop. It is pricier than the most markets but much better meat. read more

Recently found this place as meat at markets hasnt been too great. Good variety of fresh meat here. Worth the price.

Galbi meat was $10.99 marinated. Un-marinated meet was also $10.99 per pound. Unsure why they did that. They seem to have unclear pricing

I needed some pig trotters and back fat last minute for ramen, and these guys were able to give me some. They're super nice, and they also have lots of homemade pot stickers, which were fantastic. read more

I agree with the rest of the voices here. This is the best place to acquire Korean meat/barbeque meats such as Cha Dol, Sam Gyups', Garbi, etc. Any cut of protein that a Korean recipe calls for is here. It is $1 more per pound compared to the Korean grocery stores, yes, but I have no problem for what seems to be the highest of quality, fresh, USDA, and to get to the bottom of it, it is absolutely delicious cuts of meat. They do not serve this quality of meat in any AYCE KBQ spot, trust me. Each sliver of Cha Dol melts and it has a sweet hint to it, which I am speculating comes from grass fed cows. I bought their cut used for Bulgogi, marinated it myself, and it was so money that it brought the douchebag Guy Fieri outta me. I fist bumped myself on my lonesome. This is where it gets even better. I just came back from coppin' some liver. It was heavier than I expected so I was thinking, "Hey, maybe she gave me some garlic for service!" which is pretty far fetched to expect but when I got home and opened my bag, there was a slab of plastic protected ice on top! Forget the garlic, now that's service! I recently had chickens go bad from a 20 minute drive so, wow, this really made my day. You know where my money's goin' when it comes to any Korean cuts of meat. read more

I just bought Beef Tongue... it's so marbled and beautiful. I can't wait to grill it! (Like all the meat there, it's pre-sliced and packaged well) read more

Shin Sun Meat - This meat sooo damn good. I love how they roll the meat. Makes it easier for me. - Meat Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I don't know why, but whenever I visit LA, I always get lured here, because of their quality meat! Other stores and grocery marts cannot even compare to the type of meat they sell at Shin Shun. Their meat are so tender and fresh it just melts in your mouth. Sorcery???? This is the place to go to if you want some good Korean meat! mhhhh. Mouth is watering just by thinking about it... read more

my favorite local korean meat market. I especially like the frozen foods that they have here like beef/pork cutlet, dduk galbi (mini round kalbi tasting pancakes), and fish (pop into the toaster oven and dinner is made!). Oh yah... and of course they have the usual fresh meat like kalbi, shabu meat, pork, etc. take your pick! read more

Good quality meat at expected prices. Cant ask for much more from a local meat market. Dont settle for the cheap stuff from the grocery store. If you are getting chadol get the kobe beef. You will really taste the difference! read more

Don't usually like to go to Koreatown to shop because it is always so congested in the area. However, read the reviews and thought I would try Shin Sun Meat Market because I needed 15 lbs of galbi for a party. When we found shopping plaza there was no parking but thank goodness there was a 10 minute pick-up spot in front of the store. I had called ahead to order and when I got there it was ready and waiting. The store smelled so good, the meat looked really fresh and they gave me sliced green onion and sauce to go with the galbi. The people were very friendly. We grilled the galbi and it was great! I will definitely go back to Shin Sun. read more
