    I love how this place open until 4am ! The AYCE option is soo worth it! They have plenty of high quality of meats, side dishes. They also have options of AYCE Beer/Soju. The side dishes are soo flavorful and the meats just melt in your mouth! There's soo many options to choose from as well as seafood! The service is amazing! They cook the meat for you, the server is so welcoming and friendly and really loves his job! The ambiance is casual and plenty of seatings, with tv. I am definitely coming back here! It's soo convenient especially with their hours! The food is soo good! I will recommend this to my friends

    5 stars for their hours and service alone! We had late night cravings and got kbbq at 3 AM here which was insane but also fun. 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.

    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! 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. 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. What I don't like about the place. Well, parking's a bother, but of course, this is K-town now. 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. 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. 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. +/Ten's terrific and beautiful because of the inside, the vibrant food and the vibrant staff members. -/It'd be nice if there are a good amount of guilt free drinks and parking spots along with a dessert or two.

    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. The restaurant has an upscale and inviting atmosphere that made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our meal. 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.

    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. And the location was clean inside.

    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. The ambiance is modern, clean, and stylish, with a nice vibe that works great for both a casual hangout or a nicer night out. 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.

    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.

    Charlie was our main server

    After coming here 3 times in one month, which is very rare for us, we decided to come back a 4th time because our previous experiences were great and the servers were always exceptional. Unfortunately, this visit completely changed our opinion. The valet experience was unnecessary and unprofessional. The older gentleman working valet was rude from the beginning and trying to charge for parking when the vehicle was literally parked only a few feet from the entrance. I politely spoke with the manager/owner and explained that we've been here multiple times and never once had this issue. As someone who takes pride in their vehicle, I simply did not feel comfortable handing my car over due to the attitude and lack of professionalism. It's disappointing because we genuinely enjoyed this restaurant and had a good run here, but after this experience, this will unfortunately be our last visit. There are plenty of great restaurants in the area, and customer service is what separates one from another.

    Naomi W.

    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.

The staff were very quick and efficient and the food was pretty good overall. I got the beyond beef bowl as a combo. 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".

    As someone who grew up in Los Angeles, this review honestly pains me to write…read more.. Woody's used to be a birthday tradition for me growing up. If you know, YOU KNOW. Back in the day, you had to get there early because the place STAYED PACKED, and their ribs were THEE reason to go. They were hands down some of the best ribs I ever had as a kid. They put me on. Fast forward 15-20 years later, and today was my first time coming back since my teenage years. I tried calling ahead to place an order, but couldn't get through. Honestly, that didn't surprise me because Woody's was always busy. I figured it was still the same old Woody's. Then I pulled into the parking lot around 6 PM on a Thursday. Immediately, there was parking available. That alone felt odd. No line. Plenty of parking. Not a single customer inside. That should have been my first sign. We ordered beef ribs, sliced brisket, mac and cheese, and dessert. They were out of the banana pudding, so we settled for peach cobbler. The total was around $50, which isn't bad for dinner for two. The excitement really started to hit when we got home and opened everything up. Unfortunately, that's when reality set in. The mac and cheese was terrible. Completely flavorless, watery, and mushy. The pasta was so overcooked it practically fell apart and blended together like baby food. It tasted old and had absolutely no seasoning or richness whatsoever. First and last time ordering that. Next was the brisket. The slices were gray, dry, and looked like they'd been sitting around for a while. I took one bite and immediately said, "Absolutely not." Another disappointment. But I wasn't too worried yet because I came for one thing: THE RIBS. The flavor was actually still there. The sauce and seasoning reminded me of the Woody's I remembered. BUT THE TEXTURE... A completely different story. The ribs weren't tender, weren't juicy, and definitely weren't falling off the bone. They were tough enough that I found myself working for every bite. At that point, the empty parking lot, empty dining room, and lack of lines made a lot more sense. By the end of the meal, I ended up rinsing the remaining ribs off so my dog could enjoy them as a chew toy. What hurts most isn't the bad meal--it's seeing what was once a legendary BBQ spot become a shadow of what it used to be. I almost wish I hadn't come back because it tarnished some really great childhood memories for me. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I also believe in being honest. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but based on this experience, Woody's is not the Woody's I remember, and unfortunately, I won't be returning. If it's any consolation, the cobbler was okay. But not worth going out of my way for.
