    Late night KBBQ after a concert?? Say less!! Starving? Don't want to deal with annoying LA pay parking? STE101 is the place to go!! We came here after a show & I've never been so grateful for a grill in front of me. Their basic tier is only $27 & includes all the essentials: Brisket (my fave!) Ramen Steamed egg Soybean & kimchi soup Like... hello? SUCH a good deal. The brisket hits, the sides are fresh, & the service was quick + friendly. Plus, NO need to pay for parking?! This spot checks all my boxes. Will definitely be back for another post-concert kbbq! Such chill vibes.

    We came here after a Blackpink concert around 12:30 AM, and there were only one or two tables occupied. By 1:30 AM, the place was PACKED, with a bunch of people waiting outside. I love that this KBBQ spot stays open until 4 AM which is perfect if you're craving Korean food after a night out. Coming from the Bay Area, I'm used to KBBQ being expensive, so I was surprised to find that it's only $27.99 per person here. Everything was pretty good and tastes like your average KBBQ place! They have a variety of sides and appetizers like cheese corn, steamed egg, japchae, ramen, soup, and more! My only complaint is the service. It was difficult to communicate with the servers and get our questions answered. It also took a while to flag someone down when we were ready to order more meat or sides.

    Beef tongue & large intestines

    It was 1 am, my boyfriend & I were craving yummy kbbq. The usual spot we go to was closed so we came here instead. We walked in & were seated right away. Meats - We chose the AYCE B menu since A didn't have beef tongue & large intestines which are my faves! Verdict: they were ok. Their Marinated Short Rib was good! Pork belly & brisket were decent. Side dishes - ok / a lil bland, except the kimchi. The kimchi had a nice kick. Also saw that it's an extra charge if you refill the sides & rice more than 2 times which is not what we're used to. Parking - free parking lot & street parking available. Overall, I didn't love it but it's a good pick for late night cravings since most of the other AYCE restaurants closes earlier. Price is comparable in the area but I've had much better quality meats.

    I have been to this restaurant a couple times and I think it may be under new ownership or management. Nonetheless still a good experience! We did the 27.99 and you get a lot of different meats with it. The staff switched out the plates with good timing and also helped cut some of the meat during their down time. A downside we faced with the experience was that we were told their credit card systems weren't working so it was cash or Zelle. I hope this was just a coincidence and not a frequent thing that happens. Overall it was still a great experience with friendly staff. Parking is $5 if you eat in the complex too. Definitely worth giving a try!

    STE 101 is easily one of the best studio spaces on campus. The room is clean, modern, and thoughtfully set up for both individual work and group projects. The lighting, tech, and layout make it feel professional without being intimidating, and it's surprisingly comfortable to spend long sessions in. Everything--from the equipment to the seating--feels well-maintained and intentional. Whether you're recording, studying, or collaborating, STE 101 has this calm, focused vibe that makes you actually want to get work done. It's the kind of space that levels up your productivity and makes creative projects feel smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a studio that's reliable, accessible, and genuinely enjoyable to work in, STE 101 is a standout. Highly recommend.

    This is the LA night time spot for good food, I'm celebrating my birthday here Love this place

    Bulgogi. Was like mush

    They are very short staffed and unorganized. You're lucky to get a seat. The staff is not aware on how to serve. We wanted to start off with 3 orders of the same meat (3 orders to start). The waiter said ok. Next thing we know the manager came up to and was telling us we were ordering wrong and rudely educates us that only 1 type of meat allowed. Wish we were told by the waiter.. The side dishes were ok. There was some hair in the potatoes. Yikes! The meats were fine but frozen. The bulgogi is not bulgogi! It looks so gross. Feels like it was frozen as well. The place was VERY loud. It was so hard to talk to each other. If the music was a bit lower it could've been better. Overall, this place has change. From their staff to the rules and it's so so disorganized. Keep away!

    I went to try the all you can eat KBBQ and this is a solid place while affordable. The service was quick and helpful. They continued to check on us and help out when needed. The food was great, I wasn't a fan of the brisket (usually am), but the short rib was delicious! The seating set up is organized and quite spacious!

    Poppin' vibez!! Staff are quick and friendly. Food is fresh and is very decent for the price. They also stay open late for midnight munchers! Loud music and somewhat dim lighting here. Cheers!

    Another day in Korea Town, and another new dinning establishment with great food and ambience. Food: They offer AYCE - all you can eat menu with 3 levels of different meat with affordable prices, A, B and C. The meats are well seasoned Service: the lady manager is really nice and friendly and attentive. Ambiance: the restaurant is a well lit room and also enough to have a nice, sweet dinner with someone you fancy. I definitely rate it 4 out of 5 Stars. Thank you for the wonderful food, service and space to have a special dinner with my friends.

    "Annyeonghaseyo" (Hello) to all fellow BBQ and Samgyeopsal lovers like me! STE 101 in Koreatown, LA offers a grillin' and sizzlin' fun dining experience. Cooking your own food on the Korean-style grill felt nostalgic, as it has been one of my cherished bonding moments with my daughter. It also transported me back to the time when we explored Korean culture during our travels to South Korea years ago, including eating authentic Korean cuisine. My LA native friend recommended this place. I like their selection of lean meats. From placing that first slice on the grill to the moment it melts in your mouth, the burst of flavors leaves you craving for more. The addition of the veggies and the sauces plus the kimchi make it more delish. Take note: There's a correct way to enjoy the meat with veggies. Take a leaf of green lettuce, add a piece of grilled meat, kimchi, and a bit of rice. Fold it like a pocket, dip it in sauce, then pop it in your mouth to savor the mix of flavors. The customer service was great, and the prices are budget-friendly. The place is casual. Make STE 101 your top choice when you find yourself in Koreatown, Los Angeles. It is indeed "Mashisoyo!" (delicious)

    Do I need to call to reserve for a group of 6-8? For like a Friday evening around 7 pm?

    During the day more than likely! At a later time in night really rare. Hope this helps!

    You guys close at 4am but what's your last call?

    Hi Joseph, on weekends, we take orders until 3:30am, but on weekdays, it varies. Thank you for reaching out!

    Are you still open until 4am? Tnx

    Yes, we are! Our phone is currently down due to AT&T outage in the area in case you’ve called us.

    How much is Ayce for dinner?

    Lowest one price is $27/30 then goes up from there.

Then guy who told the girl to seat us was just standing around d chit chatting with another employees for about 15 minutes before he even came to our table. He never even introduce himself. He just took our order. Another 20 mins came by before our food was served. OUR FOOD WAS ROOM TEMPERATURE. Short Rib was ok. The macaroni was stale and OLD! It was dry and not fresh! We asked for extra BBQ sauce and that didn't arrive for another 15 mins. We had to wave down another employee to try to get the sauce to us. I wouldn't recommend this place! Horrible service. Didn't even come around to see if we needed anything or if everything was good or not. We came here around 1:30pm on 3/16. The restroom was also out of paper towels and soap from the soda dispenser. Poor quality food! Glad I tried it, so I know to not come back again!

    Wednesday worker plate Pork ribs…read moreBrisket Cornbread To preface this review, I ordered takeout and ate the food roughly 1 hour after and was slightly cold. The Wednesday worker plate had an assortment of meats and a chunk of cornbread, which I thought was a good way to try some of their various offerings. The barbecue chicken consisted of a leg and a wing piece, which i thought was overall fine. The shredded pork was well seasoned and moist, and the hot link pieces were very flavorful. The beef adobo was my favorite as it had a very deep and rich coconut flavor that complimented the meat. The pork ribs were very tender and juicy and had a good meaty pork flavor. The brisket was also good too. Both these meats reheated well later in the day and was still tasty! The cornbread was also exceptional and eating it, I felt it was more like a dessert but also worked well between bites. The cornbread was moist more cakey, and had a very deep sweet coconut flavor. This is the standout. Overall delicious and recommend!

We ordered four of the most ordered and highly revered items: tri tip, coconut beef adobo, smoked gouda mac, and the cornbread bibingka. * Tri tip: Ours was cold and not tender.. wasn't very flavorful either. Kinda tasted like the forgotten order that's been left drying on the counter for some time. The price is decent for an entree of tri tip though. Comes with a horseradish sauce + vinegar and bbq sauce on the side, but I didn't think any of these accompaniments were strong on their own. Made the tri tip better but not by much. * Coconut beef adobo: One of the better items. Beef chunks were melt in your mouth and the sauce was a good middle between savory and vinegary - balanced out by sweetness from the coconut. * Smoked gouda mac: Would not order again. The big shell macaroni noodles were soggy; the cheese sauce was mild in flavor, clumpy and not satisfying melty; lastly, the panko crust was just there and didn't add anything imo. * Cornbread bibingka: The other better dish of the night - very moist, muffin like crumb, and not too sweet or heavy. Portion is on the smaller side though. My bf who normally isn't a fan of cornbread enjoyed this!

I usually go with the Angus beef rib (soy tare) and toro beef (soy tare), and the combo comes with rice, salad, and miso soup. At $15.95 (before tax), it's a great value for two meat options. Another thing I like -- though it might not be for everyone -- is that you get to cook your own meat. I prefer my meat done a certain way, so it's nice having that control, and everyone can cook it to their own preference. One downside is that service can be slow during lunch hours, as they often seem understaffed.

I do wish they let us know about the included miso soup wasn't vegetarian at first because I had to switch it for the seaweed salad later but at least the staff were very accommodating. I guess the negative would be is it felt like a "rushed" experience and the food didn't blow me away. But compared to everything with roast costs, I still think it's pretty decent and they have a good "happy hour".
