I initially wanted to substitute the brisket because I have had brisket from Bludso's, and I didn't like it. I'm glad I decided not to make any substitutions because the brisket was so good. I enjoyed all of the meats. But, those sides and the cornbread, so damn good. The bbq beans were different than what I'm used to, but in a good way. The mac n cheese, collard greens, and potato salad were also good. One of the tall good looking guys carried my order to the car for me, which I was not expecting. Excellent customer service. Baby Blues BBQ is not far, but it's not close. I would definitely take the drive again. I'm not sure why I can't post the photos of the inside.

We got the chicken fingers and ribs, absolutely mind-blowing!! So flavorful and clearly slow-cooked to perfection. We also chatted with Pyro, the manager, who was beyond kind and friendly. Finished with the banana cream pie, which was the perfect ending. We can't wait to go back!! We totally understand the name now because holy cow, it really was that good!

Bludso's BBQ has always been cooking up quality bbq!…read more Ordered the brisket, baby back ribs, sausage, cornbread, fries, and mac. The brisket was so juicy and well seasoned. The rib bark was packed with flavor and just incredible. Sides paired well with the bbq, we finished it all. Vibes inside are great and staff is awesome. Highly recommend the next time you're crazing bbq in LA!

We shared the lunch combo and had plenty of leftovers to take home (granted we are older people and…read morenot huge eaters). I enjoyed the pork ribs and my husband made short work of the brisket. Both meats were tender and flavorful. The ribs are a little dry but some added sauce did the trick. I always ask for some chili vinegar to add acid to the meats and also to the collard greens. The greens were good - a bit one note but tasty all the same. The Mac and cheese is a tad gloopy (almost as if there's too much flour in the cheese sauce) - but that didn't stop my husband from eating most of it. We had a side of cornbread. It's a tad too sweet for me but we ate it happily. Staff are super nice and helpful. Street parking is available.

It was a good way to try a little bit of everything and the portions were just right. I left feeling full enough to be satisfied but not like I ate too much. I also really appreciated how the waiters brought out the food a few at a time so we could eat at our own pace. Our server was very kind and accommodating to us and the guests around us, which made for a very comfortable atmosphere. I genuinely don't have any pictures for this review because it looked so good that I couldn't wait to eat. Overall 10/10, will dine here again!

The Bottom Line: 5 stars: A nice Yakiniku (Japanese Barbeque) spot for high quality food and great…read moreattentive service. Location 4 stars: In the busy Sawtelle area. Surrounded by many competitors and many great Asian restaurants and Japanese novelty shops. Parking can be a challenge. There are limited metered parking spots on the streets and many paid parking garages nearby which I would recommend. Parking on residential streets is at your risk only as they have complex rules about when the parking is allowed and when it requires a resident permit. You may get a ticket worth several trips to paid parking garages :D Venue 4 stars: Medium-sized facility with indoor seating. Japanese style smokeless grilles at the table. You cook your own food. They take reservation on Open Table which I highly recommend. Service 5 stars: Staff were friendly, attentive, and super helpful. Food and Drinks 5 stars: Japanese-inspired food with some Korean influence as well. Excellent, high quality meat and vegetables and good selection of beer on tap and bottle, sake, wine and non-alcoholic beverages. They offer AYCE (All You Can Eat), packages and à la carte. We went with à la carte. We had the Spicy Beef Soup, the Garlic Fried Rice which comes in a hot pot and is mixed at your table, the Kimchi Cold Tofu, the Yakiniku-style Cabbage Salad, the Ikura Tamagoyaki (Japanese Omelet appetizer with Salmon Eggs on top), the Angus Trip Tip, the Prime Skirt, the Prime Hanger Steak and the Chicken Thigh. All were excellent and highly recommended.

My favorite bites were the galbi jjim, the meat is so tender and everything is super flavorful, the fish katsu is so tender, and the steamed dumplings are packed with flavor! We also tried the chicken katsu and seafood tofu soup and both were really yummy too! Also their kimchi is really fresh and umami, it's my favorite kind of kimchi! Food comes out quickly and service is fantastic too!

Nice homey small spot. Really nice staff…read more We had the dumplings, rose teokbokki, suyuk, pork cheese katsu, bulgolgi Korean pancakes, and stone pot beef bowl thing. I really enjoyed the teobokki, pancakes, and the stone pot. The teobokki had a good amount of meat, the sauce was great, rice cakes were chewy, and just overall what'd you expect. The pancakes didn't look to appetizing but ending up tasting great, and the stone pot was flavorful and tasty! The pork cheese katsu was alright, not bad but I've had better katsu. Big portion but you couldn't really taste the cheese. Curry was alright too. I was not a fan of the dumplings or the suyuk. The dumplings I just didn't love, and the suyuk meat was dry and the sides to accompany weren't too tasty, they didn't accompany the meat well. I do want to dry the galbijim next time!

I don't eat barbecue often but when I do, this is a great place to have a meal. There is a large free parking lot attached on the side so parking is really easy. Our server was very polite and as usual everything that we ordered came out very fast. For this visit, we started with the Guacamole, which is a nice start and something I order often and everywhere. For my meal, I chose the Baby Back Ribs and thought they were great. They were cooked perfectly and had a ton of meat on them. Every bit of it was delicious and I would recommend to anyone.

I've visited other Wood Ranch locations before, but this one stood out for how clean, polished, and well-maintained everything felt.
