    Ayce weekend price $43, if you come with 4 guests it's $28 unlimited draft and soju. I hear they stay open late like 4am or something.
    Markie V.

    Enjoyed the food and service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside was cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Price is $43 weekend but for $28 unlimited draft beer and soju with a party of 4 would be a reason I'd come back

    Rice added in!

    When my mom, one of my sisters and I went to Anaheim and Los Angeles around a month ago, my sis and I had been watching that one Korean food show on Netflix, "K-foodie Meets J-foodie", and while I chose the Japanese spot, Chinchikurin, my sis chose the Korean spot, her preferred food between the two as I'm the opposite, which happens to be Ten BBQ! (I do enjoy Korean food though.) Like how Chinchikurin is its logical spot J-town, Ten/Tian/Cheon/天 depending on how you read the Chinese character is in its logical spot K-town, 3rd to be precise. (Now that I think about it, the places we decided on aren't that far from each other, as Chinchikurin's on 1st.) The reason my sis chose this spot is because she wanted octopus, nakji for the Korean word, and it just so happens that this place has from word on the street, legit octopus chul pan or mixed rice. As I fix my glasses and tap the phone screen keyboard to type up the usual "Yes guys, the girls are cute!" and "Yes girls, the guys are cute!" statements, what is noteworthy about the place is that it's open until 4 in the morning! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A late start, but the place is open until 4 in the morning. If you don't like having your night end early, here's a spot you can keep in mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Even though we went to a Korean barbecue spot, this pretty inside Korean barbecue spot, we actually got the nakji and pork belly chul pan and bibim naeng myun. Well, we did get pork belly, but we wanted the chul pan and naeng myun. Sorry guys for crossing you up with our appearance, thinking that we wanted barbecue as you moved us to a more suitable spot. So, how's the spot? It's legit alright. As there are conversations a plenty at the other tables, the ingredients are in this unified symphony or whatever of goodness. I may have a weird relationship with spicy food in general (I actually like and dislike it at the same time, as the dislike of the heat is balanced off by how spices are good for you), but it's in a symphony that works. Side note. We did talk to our server on how we got to know nakji through the Netflix show. He did tell us about Sung Si Kyung being that popular of an artist in Korea. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What I don't like about the place. Well, parking's a bother, but of course, this is K-town now.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I kicked myself for not asking if there are desserts, but after looking at the website just minutes ago, it doesn't seem like there are any. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one part I don't like the most is how the place isn't good for lunch or dinner with the kids because though having a makgeoli or a Sayuri sake cup is nice to relieve stress, there aren't juices or Pororo drinks for the kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just sodas and sparkling water. I mean, what if I want say a yujacha or a yuzu tea as I am not really celebrating a special event? Sorry. Not getting that here. Ten's a good spot. While it has flaws such as way limited guilt free drinks, it makes up for it with smashing staff members, good food and a memorable experience. For those that are visiting Los Angeles for the first time, this is a good spot to start with, especially if Korean food's not common in your city. +/[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ten's terrific and beautiful because of the inside, the vibrant food and the vibrant staff members.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] -/[[HIGHLIGHT]]It'd be nice if there are a good amount of guilt free drinks and parking spots along with a dessert or two.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    5 stars for their hours and service alone! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had late night cravings and got kbbq at 3 AM here which was insane but also fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are a small amount of parking spots on their lot and outside of that it's street parking. It's AYCE and they cook the meat for you which is great value for their price. The meat quality is decent for AYCE, gets the job done. They also have a good amount of side dishes.

    I usually go into AYCE KBBQ with my expectations in check... but Ten BBQ completely proved me wrong. This is not your average AYCE spot. Ten BBQ delivers premium quality meats, and at $38 for lunch and $43 for dinner, it honestly feels like a steal for what you're getting. The meats You can taste the difference immediately. These cuts are far better than your typical AYCE situation. The Black Angus beef belly was the standout..rich, juicy, and way higher quality than expected. The best part? You don't cook. Yes, really. The staff grills everything for you right at the table. No stressing over the grill, no overcooked meat. I got to relax, catch up with friends, and just enjoy perfectly cooked bites the entire time. The steamed egg is light, fluffy, and comforting, and the corn cheese is a must. They torch it tableside, giving it that golden, caramelized top that hits every time. The drink deal is dangerous (in the best way) If you come with a group of four or more, the $27 AYCE soju and draft beer deal is unbeatable. It took our dinner from casual to full on celebration real quick. Service was attentive, the vibe was lively, and yes,there's a two hour AYCE limit, but it's more than enough time. If you're looking for top tier KBBQ quality without paying à la carte prices, Ten BBQ is it..m

    I took my family here for their all-you-can-eat dinner, and we were genuinely impressed from start to finish. The quality of the meat stood out immediately, everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked beautifully with the help of their staff. The team working that night was incredibly friendly and attentive. They checked in often, helped with the grill when we needed it, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has an upscale and inviting atmosphere that made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried several cuts, and not a single one disappointed. My family left full and happy, and we all agreed it's a spot we'd gladly return to. If you're looking for a quality AYCE experience with great service, this place is worth the visit!

    Came for a late-night KBBQ fix and it ended up being one of the better Ktown spots I've tried. The meats were genuinely high quality, especially the marinated short rib and brisket. I love that the staff grills everything for you, so you don't have to worry about burning the meats. The banchan was fresh, the kimchi fried rice and corn cheese were both excellent, and they offer AYCE if you want to go all in.

    Sokna S.

    Food: 5/5 Beef lounge, brisket, galbi, rib fingers, the list goes on. Everything tasted wonderful, can't enjoy kbbq without soju/beer... it was a great experience. Service: 5/5 Servers were the best, so quick, very friendly. They cooked and cleared the grill everytime it got a little smokey. Can't really say enough how good the staff is, one of the best services! Ambience: 4/5 Love the lighting the decor, smoke of low which was awesome. Plenty of tables, parking outside was a little rough as usual in Korea town. But this spot is definitely one to try! Will be back!

    Ten is a Korean BBQ spot that does AYCE and combo options. For the price we found their meats to be of good quality. I appreciated there were lots of different options for meats, including seafood. Our favorites include jowl, brisket, and tongue. The nice lady that works there cooks for you so the meats come out perfectly cooked. Besides meats I also liked that they had ramen, kimchi fried rice, corn cheese, and lots of other sides. All the banchan was good as well and really no complaints. We left full and satisfied. The inside is spacious and when we came that weekday for lunch there was just one other group inside with us. The service was great and the lady working there was helpful and nice. Good came out quick and we were never without meats. Ten is a great alternative to other Korean BBQ spots in the area.

    Athena J.

    Definitely a top kbbq experience! AYCE for $43 after 6pm. I like that they cook the food for you. Brisket and marinated short rib was amazing. The service was prompt and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the location was clean inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Nakji Chul Pan
    Paul L.

    Many people check out the reviews for their BBQ selections, known for their Prime and Angus Beef quality. However, there's another item on their menu that's less known but incredibly delightful and possibly unique to K-Town: OCTOPUS CHUL PAN. Priced per serving, we ordered two servings for three people, and it was OUTSTANDING. We requested a mild spicy level, which was perfect as it wasn't too spicy to numb the tongue but enough to make the broth red, similar to the spice level of Korean ramen. As the steel pan heats, the sauce melts into a broth, wilting the vegetables and cooking the octopus. Just when you think the meal is over and you're tap out, they bring out rice and other sides to cook BURNT FRIED RICE on top of the pan. We also ordered YEOKHWE (Beef Tartare with raw yolk and sliced pear and cucumber). This dish is not easy to recreate at home due to the handling of raw meat, so it's best left to the professionals. If you have an open mind for raw meat, this order is TASTEFULLY GOOD.

    I went to Ten BBQ in K-Town and it was so good. We got the AYCE menu and it absolutely did not disappoint. One of the best parts is that they cook everything for you, which makes the whole experience feel way more relaxed and elevated; you can just sit back and enjoy without worrying about burning anything. The quality of the beef was genuinely impressive for AYCE. Every cut was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, not dry or bland at all. You could really taste how well-marinated and fresh the meat was, and each bite had that rich, savory depth that makes you keep ordering more. Nothing felt cheap or low-quality, which honestly surprised me in the best way. Even the sides stood out. The cucumbers were super refreshing and crisp, perfectly seasoned, and balanced out the richness of the meat really well. All the banchan felt thoughtfully prepared and added to the overall experience instead of just being filler. I really enjoyed the steam egg and corn cheese as well. The service was amazing too. The workers were incredibly kind, fast, and attentive; they constantly checked in on us, made sure we were taken care of, and were quick to bring out refills. You never feel ignored or rushed, which makes a huge difference. On top of all that, the prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality and service you're getting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is modern, clean, and stylish, with a nice vibe that works great for both a casual hangout or a nicer night out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, Ten BBQ really nails it: great food, great service, great atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd go back to and recommend if you're in K-Town.

    Quality KBBQ! What a hidden gem. We opted for their E set which came with delicious, quality meats as well as sides. I always prefer ordering sets over AYCE as I don't have to stuff myself till I'm sick and then can always take leftovers. The staff does a great job cooking all the food for you so you can sit back, relax and enjoy your meal. Will definitely be back.

    Got combo e. And it was way too much food for 2 people. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. Reason for choosing a combo instead of the ayce because the meat cuts were different. I know it said serves 3. I loved all of the short ribs. We choose the ramen and this little dish came out and it looked like bean paste soup so I thought the waitress got it mixed up hehe. she laughed and told us it was dipping sauce. And omg it was good with the meat. Service was great even though they were busy since there was a very big party in a separate room. They grilled our meats and told us when it was ready to eat. We ended up togoing meat and kimchi fried rice and the brisket tasted alot better when we had it as leftovers with the rice. They have valet parking but we were lucky to find street parking right outside

    What the price?

    For 2 ppl with drinks was 120$ ish worth every penny

    What are the hours of operations? Their website says they open at 11 but yelp says 4pm? Also do they do lunch options/times?

    Here's updated our operation time. We're also opening our lunch, and we have a break time in the middle.… 

    Is it all you can eat style?

    Yes they offer AYCE!

    Do u have soy marimated crab as banchan?

    We have spicy marinated crab, not soy marinated crab.

    Are guests required to be vaccinated?

    No. We don't require vaccination card

    Is outdoor dining still available?

    Sorry.. no more outdoor dining

    Do you have gluten free and dairy free options?

    I don't think so

    Ktown is.not AYCE?

    No it is not. Different tiers of orders you can get based on group size

    When are you opening in Lynwood?

    Do you still allow dogs in strollers?

    Yes. We still allow dogs 8n stroller

    Can you deliver meat uncooked so we can cook it fresh at home?

    Have they commenced with outdoor dining?

    They have, we went there on Saturday.

    Do we need reservations for 3? Are you dog friendly in the patio?

    How can I make a reservation? The phone doesn't work?

    Now that you have outdoor seating, can I bring my dog?

    Can anyone tell me what kind of safety precautions they are taking with Covid, since now they are reopened for dine in? Thank you.

    They're literally taking every safety precaution possible. Every staff member is wearing a face mask, along with face shields and gloves! They're not seating every table, but every other table and keeping it socially distant for their customers.… 

    I see you put Kobe style beef on your menu, but is it wagyu meat instead or another type of beef? It is very misleading for customers since only 9 restaurants offer certified kobe beef in the U.S.

    It is not real certified wagyu but still has great marbling and is still very tasty!

    Can you cook the meat tourself?

    If you wanted to! They're super helpful tho.

It was perfectly pleasant, though be warned: foot traffic passes just a few feet away. I kicked things off with a martini, which was excellent--surprisingly generous by today's standards and a real deal at $12. For starters, I had the Caesar salad. Think tuxedo at a pool party: definitely overdressed. But it was delicious, and I'd order it again--just with light dressing. The fish sandwich was fine, nothing more. I couldn't help thinking McDonald's might edge them out on the Filet-O-Fish (though it's been decades, so who knows). It wasn't bad; I'd just try something different next time.

Parking is brutal in the area so expect to be circling around for a bit. They have a late happy hour which are half off oysters which is nice! We tried a set of raw oysters - rockefeller, small but might in flavor and meatiness. Shucking was done well too. Grilled octopus - pricey for the amount you get, but cooked well. Accompaniments like potatoes were OK, but could have more mushroom. Shell pasta - the pasta was homemade cause it tasted so light. I think the sauce was a little too light for me as well, but overall still a solid dish. Cioppino - Also a little lighter in flavor and I think just smaller in size in comparison to price. Seafood is fresh though, and that's clear in every dish here. Lonely Louie - the star of the night. I loved how fresh and bright this was. Everything mixed so well together and would definitely be getting this again. Atlantic Pie - their version of a key lime pie and was a tangy, nice finisher to the meal.

One of the most fun parts of the meal is their wide variety of self-serve sauces and salsas. They are available to you to bring to your table, and it is so fun to mix and match bites with all of the different flavors that they offer.  This place is AWESOME, and it is a must visit whether you live in LA or you're just visiting. The wait looks long, but the prices are fair, the food is delicious, and it's a unique experience in the world of Michelin stars that deserves to be known and loved.

We sat at the high top tables along the side of the wall across from the bar. Really cool and casual interior, doesn't feel pretentious whatsoever. Warm and friendly staff. I was worried when looking at their menu online that they only had wine since I was craving a cocktail, but alas they do have cocktails! They have martinis or margaritas. I went with a martini and they ask how you like it so I got mine with gin, an olive and a twist. It was made perfectly and it was so good! We ordered 8 oysters from the specials menu (they have it written inside on chalkboard), the plate of frites, smoked trout dip, and a tuna aguachile dish they had on their specials menu. It was a small table but we got everything to fit because they smartly have a holder to lift the tray above the table which helps. Everything looked beautiful when it came out! The oysters were great, salty but not overly briney. The smoked trout dip with the roe on top was delicious, the buttery ritz crackers pair with it so nicely. I would get that again for sure. The aguachile was good as well, it had quite the kick to it too. And honestly fries are fries, yes, but these fries were maybe some of the best ones I've ever had.

The menu changes enough to keep every visit interesting, especially the changing oyster selection. This time we had the Lil Namskaket oysters, which were clean, briny, and slightly sweet. Since we shared just about everything in our group of 4 this time, I got to try a wide variety of dishes. The Jonah crab cocktail was a highlight and ended up being my favorite shared plate. The tuna aguachile was bright and refreshing, the Sicilian crudo let the quality of the fish shine, the smoked trout dip (a repeat because it's so good) was creamy and smoky and was paired with crackers, and the scallop tostada was fresh and beautifully balanced. The two dishes that keep bringing me back, though, are the chowdaaa and the lobster bisque roll. As someone who grew up in New England, I'm pretty picky about my lobster rolls, and this one absolutely holds its own here on the West Coast. The clam chowder is another must-order. I don't care if it's the middle of summer during a heatwave--if it's delicious, it's delicious. The fried cod sandwich was satisfying and straightforward, and even the frites were addictive enough that I kept reaching for more. We skipped dessert this time because we were stuffed, but I've had the key-lime pie before and highly recommend saving room for it if you can do it. What I appreciate most about Found Oyster is its consistency. Every single time, the food has been outstanding, the service has always been friendly, and it's a place I genuinely look forward to returning to. If you're a seafood fan, this one absolutely deserves a visit. Street parking can be tough so plan accordingly. They do walk-ins but I'd recommend making a reservation, especially if more than 2 of you are going. Inside seating and bar seating are available but for larger groups, they'll seat you out on the patio.

    actually such a good raw marinated crab spot!! I saw they were having the borahae special which…read moreserves 2 and it such a good deal imo! I had to run over asap and luckily it was still going on! we arrived close to opening time ~11:50am and since theres a parking lot w valet only ($3), we didn't have to worry about parking. im sure you can find street parking around but there was nothing in the immediate area and we were too hungry to search the ladies working there are sooo cute and kind! they checked to make sure we were enjoying the food and let us know how to eat a certain dish when we said it was our first time. it wasn't too crowded when we got there, but more people started trickling in as we ate/ left. we chose combo A from the special which includes korean crab, spicy crab, sea urchin (m), and soft tofu stew. this was definitely enough for 2 of us but they even gave us another sea urchin bowl on the house (too sweet)! everything tasted sooo fresh and although we first were hesitant about eating raw crab, once we took our first bite, we knew we could trust this spot!! the marinades they used were so flavorful (the spicy is really spicy!!) and I lovedddd how buttery and rich the uni was! the soft tofu stew was so good and comforting - we had to take it to go though bc we were so full after eating everything else. and the sides!! omg super delicious and well prepared. idk what they put in the japchae but it was delicious and unlike any other I've had before! highly recommend this place and I cannot wait to go back!!

    I was teaching my niece on navigating public transportation so we took the Metro, made a transfer,…read moreand exited Wilshire/Vermont from the D-Line, and walked half a mile over. If you're driving, Crab House also has a public parking lot that is a gem in this Koreatown area where you don't have to pay or valet. Crab House specializes in Korean seafood, especially raw crab. We felt welcomed as we came in, even with the language barrier, you can tell the ladies were friendly. It was an intimate restaurant but it has dividers up so you feel a sense of privacy even when there are others nearby. The tables all had gloves, for handling the seafood. Even before reviewing the menu, I knew we had to get their raw marinated crab, since it's what they're known for. We decided to share their #9 Combo ($39.99) which comes with 2 USA Crabs and an extra small Sea Urchin rice and a Korean Potato Pancake ($8.99). Meal comes with complimentary side dishes and iced tea. Wow what a glorious spread. This was my niece's first time having raw marinated crab and she really enjoyed it. The fresh seaweed, imitation crab, and fish eggs it was served with was good too The sea urchin rice had uni, rice, quail egg, and fish eggs. Not that fresh or essential but interesting to try. The marinated raw crab was definitely the star. The Korean potato pancake was a decent addition. We both liked the crispy edge pieces but didn't like the soft soggy spots as much. Eat while fresh for maximum crispiness. We both enjoyed our meal and it was a very unique experience. We will definitely be back for more marinated raw crab and to try more of their menu.

    This is the spot for anything fresh when it comes to seafood! The service is rather quick unless…read moreyou come during a weekend rush hour. Parking is right next to the shop, you enter and grab a ticket and wait to get your number called. The entire staff is great and helpful, the store itself is always clean and organized. The pokes are a must try and their sushi grade sashimi is the best! They also have a side restaurant where you can order and dine in.

    Fish King is one of those places that reminds you why fresh seafood makes all the difference…read more We got three poke options--salmon, dynamite tuna, and scallops--and every single one was a winner. The salmon was buttery and melt-in-your-mouth good, the dynamite tuna brought just the right amount of spice and flavor, and the scallops were incredibly fresh, sweet, creamy, and tender. It's hard to pick a favorite when they're all this good! To balance out all the fresh seafood, we also ordered the fried onion rings and fried zucchini. Both came out perfectly golden and crispy, adding that satisfying crunch to the meal. What really stood out was that even after being fried, you could still taste the natural sweetness of the onions and zucchini. They weren't greasy at all--just light, crisp, and dangerously easy to keep snacking on. Between the quality of the seafood and the delicious sides, it's easy to see why Fish King has such a loyal following. Whether you're stopping by for poke, fresh fish, or just craving some seriously good seafood, this spot is always worth the trip. I'll definitely be back for more!

    Was looking for a spot to eat at manhattan beach and based on my trusty yelpers reviews this seemed…read morelike the foodie spot to try. They weren't wrong. We started with the ceviche in Clamato with pieces of crab and avocado served with a delicious tortilla chips. I absolutely loved the flavor profile and couldn't get enough of the Clamato sauce. Then we moved to the weekend only special sea urchin, which Stephanie's parents personally bring down from Santa Barbara for weekend service. I'm usually indifferent at best to sea urchin, but this was excellent Then we shared the Jonah Crab Fusilli, another winner. I was driving, but hubby ordered a banhattan and it was another winner. They also have some beer and wine options as well as a full bar. Though very full by this point, just couldn't resist the pretzel bread pudding. The bread portion was crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside with a delicious salty caramel sauce. Served with a very smooth and delectable scoop of ice cream. There's indoor and outdoor seating. If you want to sit inside best to make a reservation. We did not have reservations, but were lucky to get outside seating. Service was fluid with different people coming around to ensure everything was tidy. Really enjoyed one of the staff, a young girl who cleared our table and delivered some of the dishes. Loved her chill surferish vibes.

Definitely suited our sensibilities to be close to the heart of this treasure, plus it can get cold out there! When our friendly and helpful server learned that we'd never been to FwD before, we were both treated a tasty amuse, a Peruvian scallop, one of their specialties. Served chilled, absolute heaven. Simple, fresh, delicious, and very pretty atop its shell. We ordered an appetizer, a different scallop dish, Pan Seared Diver Scallops. (Parsnip-potato puree, brown butter ponzu, capers). So good. Succulent, perfectly cooked and devilishly satisfying with its rich, savory flavor. We enjoyed the one dish that have been on their menu since the beginning, Koshihikari Rice. (short-grain Japanese rice, overnight chicken dashi, shrimp, uni, blue crab, cage-free egg yolk.) Wow. So much happening here, and yet it's a complete package. All the ingredients meld together sumptuously. It akin to Paella, or perhaps to a stuffed Risotto, although the Koshihikari Rice was very much its own dish. The server swerved and mixed the egg yolk on our plate, and we loved it. Our strategy to try a number of dishes and yet still have room for dessert worked. Many great choices, and I doubt we'd be disappointed with anything. However, we had heard from the table next to use that the key-lime pie was must. Happily, they were right. This Key Lime Pie is just sweet and just tart enough. Though I am not Key Lime Pie expert, this one struck me as imaginative with its meringue colony crowding the pie's surface for additional dessert debauchery. There nothing overwhelmingly citrusy about it, and it was light enough to help you feel satisfied and just right. The coffee was good, too. This is a low-key yet lovely dining experience in Manhattan Beach.
