Been to TGI K-BBQ multiple times. Always legit, high quality meat served. The all-you-can-eat lobster is a must! Great selection of sides. Outstanding service! My favorite K-BBQ experiences in LA, so far! (Busy spot, best to make a reservation. Parking is not the greatest around the restaurant, but valet is only $3 cash. The guys do a nice job caring for your car.) read more

Had a good experience here for AYCE. What's really nice is that they can do half orders so eating with a small group but wanting to try multiple cuts is possible. We stuck with the premium menu cause it had basically everything we wanted to try. Best meat was the Wagyu Beef Belly! read more

It's really great that they're able to take reservations for big groups online. We went on a scorching 97 degree day. Our waiter and waitress were so attentive and kind even though it was so so so hot. The food was good. Loved the ready-cooked Louisiana shrimp boil option. There's valet parking ($3). Props to the valet for handling a full lot with grace in that heat. read more

TGI Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Korean BBQ or seafood... why not both? TGI KBBQ in LA serves up the best of both worlds with unlimited premium meats AND unlimited steamed lobster! The giant beef rib and ribeye steak are absolute must-orders! Perfectly marbled, tender, and packed with juicy flavor. And don't sleep on the steamed lobsters... they're incredibly buttery, sweet, and juicy with the perfect springy bite. They also have fun side dishes like bulgogi quesadilla and corn cheese with chips! They also offer other refreshing side dishes like a mixed salad and other fun banchan. I would highly recommend coming here! read more

We came for the outdoor experience but unfortunately they close the patio a few hours before closing. Since we were already here we decided to stay put and it didn't dissapoint. Food was great. Didn't feel bloated afterwards. 18% gratuity included for a party of 6. Parking is hideous in ktown (per usual) so their $3 valet is well worth it. Staff was a little slow. We had to constantly flag them down and ask about our orders. read more

What an awkward dinner. We arrived at around 11:15 got seated right away. They mentioned 12am would be last call because they close at 1. They didn't come to take orders u til about 15 minutes later. After placing our 1st order, they probably checked in once. They would drop our orders off one by one avoiding all eye contact. Super weird. Food was good and fresh but the service was pretty bad. We got the initially chance to order, plus another because we had to wave them down. They brought the tab over at 12 because the kitchen was closed. Also, we got there to a valet. Valet only took cash or else they were charging double for Zelle or Venmo payment. By the time we went around twice, they had pack up and left. I guess free parking ? read more

Continue to read if you want but to make it short, meat not fresh and terrible quality. Servers all very nice. Ambiance was cool! I hate to write bad reviews but this place was so disappointing. It's been a while since I had KBBQ so I was really looking king forward to it. We got the premium AYCE and the quality of the meat was terrible. We ordered the wagyu beef belly and l don't even know what it was when they brought it to us. I've had wagyu many times before so I know the marble its supposed to have but it didn't. And it okay, I get it but the quality was so bad. It was not fresh! It had that meat taste like walked into the old/hot meat market. We ordered the scallops and I think it was that when it came(I didn't even eat it) scallops with cheese?!? Gross. I should of know when I saw the panchan. It was sad but I we are already there so I want to give them a chance. But I'm traumatize by the quality and I would so scare to get sick from the food. read more

Service took awhile for them to get to us with getting an order in and understand they were really busy and we were in the corner, but we were starving. They were all very nice! Just had to get their attention. Food was decent; I've been to ones where you're able to get more choices for the $46 tier we got. We only could get one order of LA Galbi and only came with 2 pieces which I thought was a rip off. Either add a couple more or we should get 2 orders. Some of the marinades were too sweet and the prime sirloin and marinated beef short rib were SOO chewy and would never order again. The glass noodles we got were okay. The best were the LA Galbi, Giant beef rib, and marinated rib fingers. We also got the bulgogi quesadilla which was pretty good, sauce was a little spicy. Overall it wasn't the best experience, but not terrible either. For me the food is where the issue was..it fell short for being good quality overall especially when paying more and one LIMITED is so chewy you just swollen out of being over chewing I will say the $3 valet was amazing and super nice guys. read more

First time trying TGI Korean BBQ, and it definitely won't be my last! The quality of the meats was excellent, with everything tasting fresh, flavorful, and coming out quickly. The variety on the menu made it easy to try a little bit of everything, and every order was just as good as the last. The service was outstanding--our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we always had what we needed, from changing the grill to bringing out refills and additional orders promptly. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was lively, and it was a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Only thing that was off was the max meats and sides were 3 for a party of 5. The meat came out quickly but slowed how much we can eat compared to the 5 meats and 5 sides that other KBBQs have. Overall, an amazing first experience with great food, excellent service, and a fun dining atmosphere. read more

Wow wow wow! My bestie and I specifically came out to LA just to try this place, and it fulfilled all my lobster dreams! Ordered the luxury AYCE which comes with unlimited lobster. The lobsters were the perfect size, juicy and sweet. I had to order 3. Their prime sirloin is something I also highly recommend. Perfectly fatty and delicious. Beef tartare was a different take. I believe they used gochujang which wasn't really for me but my bestie really enjoyed it. Their galbi tang was comforting and a great soup option with our food. They have a broad menu to choose from and the service was attentive and friendly. Note that they do have valet parking if needed. I would definitely come back again to satisfy my lobster cravings as it is well worth the price with their premium meats and extensive menu. read more

TGI Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

To start with the fact I knew nothing of TGI Korean BBQ, prior to being invited to go out with some friends and their guests. The price difference between the top tier and mid tier is pretty steep, and the majority of our group didn't need the AYCE lobster. The meat selection was still pretty good. Everything we ordered was tasty and good portions for trying eat cut of meat. If you find something you like, order a couple orders. The staff were pretty attentive and provided good service. Although when it came to valet parking I was Leary after seeing the review of a dented fender. So as I watched my car go, it wasn't too confident building when he was squealing the tires taking the turn kind of fast. So self park if you are worried about your car. I just didn't appreciate the valet gunning my car down the street. As for the dinning experience, it was comfortable and typical noise levels when you have big groups sitting so close to one another and no dividers. Overall, I didn't mind it, but would probably not bring my parents who wear hearing aids as they probably wouldn't be able to hear me talking to them. Now with a group of friends, great place to eat. Hahaha.... I would definitely go back again. read more

The food was fresh and delicious. The servers were super attentive and friendly. And there was lots of banchan to choose from. The place was lively and enjoyable. Initially I was a little worried because 1) we were trying a new place. 2) I had read other reviews where its mentioned the service was lacking. Suffice it to say I am so glad that was not our experience. We made reservations for a table for 9. They don't sit you til the entire group is there. We were missing 2 ppl but as soon as we were ready, we were acknowledged and sat almost immediately. They brought out the starter banchan and we started with brisket, bulgogi and rib finger. The meat was fresh! They have additional sides made to order and the KFC (korean fried chicken), yum! Our group was we very happy with this spot read more

Had such a great experience at TGI KBBQ! We went with the Luxury AYCE option, which includes unlimited lobster along with a great selection of premium meats and seafood. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and really tender. The giant beef rib was a standout for me, the meat was so tender! I also loved that the Luxury AYCE includes unlimited lobster. It's not something you typically see included with AYCE KBBQ. Overall a great spot, I'd come back! read more

I'm really glad this is one of the few spots in K-Town that offers an AYCE KBBQ lunch deal on weekends--$30 felt reasonable. The meats were surprisingly good quality, with minimal excess fat, which I really appreciated. The banchan selection is a bit sparse (you have to specifically ask for kimchi), but the cucumber kimchi was so fresh that I couldn't stop eating it. I also loved their chef specials, especially the corn cheese dip. We even tossed some of the leftover corn into our cheese fondue on the grill to make our own corn cheese. My only major suggestion would be better ventilation. Without vents above the tables, the AC kept blowing burnt BBQ smoke toward my partner, so he constantly had to readjust his seat. read more

Man... we came here after the Laker game hoping it would redeem our last bad visit, and wow... it got worse. Place wasn't even busy, got seated fast, so we thought okay maybe tonight will be good. Ordered the middle tier menu... rib bone came out first, no flavor, dry...Ribeye steak? Crazy thick, hard, dense, not even enjoyable. Beef tongue was chewy like rubber. Honestly every meat was tough. Side dishes dropped in quality big time too, nothing tasted fresh. Service wasn't it either... not rude, just not good. No attention, no care. one of my biggest KBBQ letdowns. read more

Out of all the KBBQ spots I've been to, TGI will always be my #1 place to go to! The meat is so juicy and tender, the side dishes are always delicious, and they even hand out complementary (coffee flavored cookie) dessert! So many seats ranging from inside to outside! And staff are so attentive, sometimes they'll even help you cook the meat and give tips to have the best results. This place is on the pricey side of kbbq but because of how good this place is, it's definitely worthwhile. read more

I had a quality experience overall at this K-Bbq restaurant. Went on a Sunday afternoon with a party of 4 and was seated right away. They have various all you can eat options to choose from depending on the cuts of meat and side options you would like. We had the $37.99 option and ordered beef brisket, marinated chicken, beef Bugolgi, and short rib. Everything as absolutely delicious! They only bring out three meats at a time to help pace you out. They make sure to come around often to switch out your grill as well. The sake was pretty good too! Solid spot for the value and quality! read more

After seeing the amount of positive reviews, I decided to give this place a try. If you're looking for authentic korean barbecue, do not come to this place. Extremely disappointed with the food. We got the brisket, short rib, beef tongue and beef belly. Meat came out rubbery and off putting, side dishes were stale, radish paper was too thick, Jap Chae was too sweet...on and on Service was decent though. At $46.99, there are plenty of better options in the Ktown area. Would not recommend.. just being honest read more

I went to TGI KBBQ with high expectations but it ended up being just okay. The biggest letdown was the meat quality. It was not as tender or flavorful as I was hoping, and some cuts felt a bit tough. The experience overall was still decent. The variety was there and service was fine, but nothing really stood out enough to make me want to come back over other KBBQ spots in LA. Not a terrible meal, just not one I would go out of my way for again. read more

Parking was super easy with $3 valet, which was a great start. The space is huge with tons of indoor and outdoor seating, so it didn't feel crowded at all. We went with the Luxury AYCE tier ($85 per person), and it was definitely worth it for the unlimited lobster and tiger shrimp. Both were cooked perfectly! Flavorful, tender, and not overdone. We definitely got our money's worth. The meats were also great quality, and the honey glazed sweet potatoes were a standout from the extras! Service was amazing! Our server was fast, attentive, and made the experience even better. Overall, such a great experience and we'll definitely be coming back. read more

I've visiting TGI a few times now and each visit has always been great! The meats taste fresh and the sauces are flavorful. The service is also always top notch! Servers are always going above and beyond to enhance my dining experience here. I've sat both inside and outside. The string lights and outside set-up is nice for a night out with friends, your partner, etc. Only downside is if there's a breeze the smoke gets a little intense, but we were given a smoke guard to help with that. I like that they accept online reservations and also offer $3 valet parking; that's helped a lot with the logistics of being able to dine here. Overall a great time and highly recommend! read more

Tips: Lunch time has faster seating time if you don't have a reservation. However, you're given priority if you have a reservation. Free parking is available at the small parking lot right by the restaurant, but you're basically parking in front of another car. During dinner is when they start charging around $3 for parking. Seating: Only indoor seating during lunchtime. Both outdoor and indoor seating is provided during dinner. TGI Luxury Ayce $84.99 per person. So worth to get the unlimited steamed lobster. It's so good to the point you don't need the butter or lemon wedge. Beef Tartare: Would not recommend, the beef texture tastes a bit more freeze dried, but the sliced Korean pear is excellent. Wagyu Beef Belly: The best sliced meat platter compared to beef brisket and beef belly. Giant Beef Rib: This takes the longest to cook and it's really how to cut the meat from the bone. The meat is really thick and chewy like gum. read more

UPDATE: my husband got food poisoning I was honestly disappointed after my meal. I was excited at first because of tiktok reviews, but it was a let down. The quality of the meat was not worth the price, but what can you expect from AYCE. The pork jowl had the weird meat smell even after cooking so we had to return our second order of it to the kitchen. The rib finger was so salty. The meat was overall mid, most of them were a white-ish color instead of red which already made me skeptical. And the service was terrible. It was almost impossible to catch attention of staff to order more items. read more

Food was great, I've never had tasty pork steak before and the boneless short ribs were heavenly. Definitely a great place to catch any sport games. Lots of TVs on location, Service is very attentive to your needs Also the valet parking makes life a little easier. I will definitely be coming back. read more

TGI Korean BBQ - Enjoying the company - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here for lunch with a few friends to catch up. We wanted to try the AYCE Luxury with came with lobster. My friends and I remember seeing an IG ad and it was supposed to be $70. However, we got there and the price was like $85 so we opted for the premium option instead. As far as the meats go, they were solid. My favorites were the tomahawk, rib finger and beef tongue. Other than that, nothing was memorable. The banchan were lacking. You pretty much had to order all the banchan since nothing came to the table unless you ordered. It took forever to get some of the dishes. What was the worse was probably the service and the ambiance itself. Service was lacking. Server looked like he did not want to be there. Every time we ordered food he just started walking away without letting us finish what we wanted to order. Restaurant itself was so damn hot too so it was uncomfortable. Lots of flies inside too. read more

TGI Korean BBQ is hands down one of my favorite spots when I'm craving good food and a fun vibe. The quality of the meat is so good -- super fresh, well-marinated, and flavorful. Everything cooks perfectly on the grill, and you can really taste the difference. The atmosphere is lively but still comfortable enough to actually enjoy your meal and conversation. Perfect for a girls' night, date night, or even a family dinner. If you're looking for solid Korean BBQ with great service and quality meats, this is definitely the spot.

Honestly, no complaints. Sat down in less than 5 minutes. Very honest, we arrived around 9:30 pm on a Sunday and they stayed we have 1 hour until last call. Me and my boyfriend was fine with that. We picked option Premium for 2. I will say food came out fast. I wish they had more sauces but, their house sauce was good! When I say we left full! We ordered two lemonades, I ordered Sake, and he ordered a beer. I would say I'd we definitely will go back because we left stuffed. They even helped preparing the meats on the grill. This place is a must try! read more

TGI always delivers, even years later, it's my recommended spot in Ktown for higher end AYCE BBQ with fantastic sides. Come back to TGI over other places because of their delicious and well done appetizers or as they call it, chef's menu items. I came back specifically for their steamed egg and soondubu, and while here, I enjoyed the premium menu at 45.99. I come to TGI because the accessible price point and the still solid quality of meat allows me to just come and enjoy the flavors of their various appetizers while enjoying more meat options than I would eat in an a la carte. As usual, the place is a great place for groups, and service is very busy and tries hard once you manage to flag them down, although I always feel bad for the servers who seem overwhelmed but very kind and genuine in their efforts. read more

The food is amazing.. yes.. it is all u can eat lobster. When u buy the top tier for $75. It is succulent. Easy to pull out of tail and ci e with warm butter to drizzle. I also enjoyed the meat esp the brisket and kali. You can also order side such as beef tartar, it was a bit cold and spicy for me. But I'm sure it depends on people's preference. We never felt rushed. Ther service was fast and friendly. The only thing is the at the neighborhood is a bit .. mmm.. shady. But the restaurant Is on a corner and well seen.

Good food, service was good, will return can't complain. You've earned a returning customer.

We came here as a party of 3 during lunch time and we were seated immediately. They have a small lot on the side that fits 6 cars. We got the special menu and ordered some meats - the marinated beef short rib was my favorite as it didn't need any sauces. They also offer a small seafood boil. A lot of unique sides are offered, including Korean fried corndogs, corn cheese, tofu soups, Korean fried chicken. The menu includes a ton of meat varieties and sides which I think is superior to some of the other kbbq spots in ktown. Our servers were very kind and attentive to our table, bringing dish refills, water, and cooking some of the meats. read more
