Food and service, amazing! We got accommodated quickly with a reservation and chose outside. Tofu soup and meat selection was great!

Ariel was awesome... I had a wonderful time with my family and great service.. especially thanks to Ariel!!!!

First time I came here, I was underwhelmed (first time eating kkbq) but went here recently again and it was so good. Idk what changed but I really enjoyed myself The service was great and the ambience is really aesthetic Great A options!! read more

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

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

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 meat presentation looks great and the giant steak was actually juicy and tender. But the sirloin, beef tongue, and beef finger were all really tough. I eat medium rare, so it's not overcooked, it was just bad quality. My wife and I were honestly tired of chewing. The worst part was the dynamite scallops. After cooking it for a while, it had a bad and very weird taste. I gave it more time and tried again, but had to spit it out immediately. The scallops were clearly SPOILED!! When I told the server, he said it was because of the cheese and just WALKED AWAY. No apology, no follow up. Serving spoiled food and reacting like that is unacceptable. I could've given this place 3 stars, but after that attitude, no thanks. Who wants to eat somewhere that doesn't even care about food safety? 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

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

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

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

First time here. Was brought by stylist and we had an incredible time. Will be back for sure!

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

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

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

Food was awesome! David was a great server! Great vibes! We enjoyed the beef bulgogi and brisket!

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. I'll 100% be back! 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

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

I had a really frustrating experience with Victor at TGI Korean BBQ on 4/26 at 1 PM. We came in as two separate parties of four. Even though we arrived together, we made it very clear that we had separate reservations because my group did not want to do the lobster option, just the regular meat menu. Despite explaining this multiple times, Victor refused to seat us. He said they were concerned we might share between tables, which didn't make sense given that we intentionally booked separately for that exact reason. We even offered to sit on completely opposite sides of the restaurant, and they still wouldn't accommodate us. What made the situation worse was that I hadn't eaten all day and was genuinely starving, so being turned away like that felt completely unreasonable. On top of that, I mentioned I have a shellfish allergy, and instead of taking that seriously, they implied I would need proof before being seated. Which is honestly shocking and inappropriate. Overall, the experience felt unnecessarily difficult and poorly handled. It didn't seem like they were trying to work with us at all, despite us following their reservation rules. Left really upset and disappointing. read more

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

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. I would sef recommend this place to my friends. Great place for groups of people. read more

TGI Korean BBQ - Succulent all you can eat lobsters.! - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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

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

Last night I went to this Korean BBQ with my fiancé and her dad. I've been here before and used to like it, but this time was a huge disappointment. We had a reservation, yet the hostess kept seating walk-ins before us while there were clearly empty tables. At first I thought it was just one table, but it kept happening over and over. It honestly started to feel disrespectful and borderline discriminatory. There was zero logic in how she was seating people. On top of that, the hostess had a terrible attitude. She spent way too much time chatting with her coworker while we were left waiting, even after multiple parties without reservations were already seated ahead of us. Completely unprofessional. To make things worse, I saw servers handling money and then going right back to handling food with the same gloves. That's just disgusting and unacceptable. And guess what? We all woke up this morning with heartburn. I used to love this place, but now it honestly fucking sucks. Won't be coming back. read more

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

They are the best ayce spot and we really love it every time we come here. It's been years and they are consistently good. The meats, banchans, soups, prepared dishes, freshness, service and cleanliness (bathroom included) all hits! The price is so reasonable for the quality of meat. You can request less fatty if you'd prefer that and it's brought to you right away w/ no qualms or excuses. The staff are ALL nice and welcoming, esp the sweet gal at the front desk who remembered a silly lil' incident that happened months ago! I told the owner about her and how stellar his restaurant is overall bc he wanted our honest opinion. Side note: Order their amazing spicy soontofu stew first before you get full.... read more

We loved this place!! We did the Premium AYCE option which we felt like was really good value. This place has amazing sides - note you can only order 3 of the side apps/soups at a time but everything comes pretty quickly. I will say that the soups were a little more salty than expected, but the flavor was still good. We loved the pineapple, radish, rice paper and cheese fondue sides. The meat quality was great overall. I'll definitely come back! read more

This place was SO GOOD. We got to try so much meat! The meat and sides were both unlimited. My favorite is of course, brisket but also the marinated beef short rib .... So gooooood. I like to take my son to places like these because it's a fun way to teach him how to cook. I let him cook the meat which was easy to do. The sweet potatoes were amazing! You won't be sorry. Everything was fresh and delicious. We left NO CRUMBS. And valet was only $3. They also didn't kick us out when we were done eating lol so we had a chance to talk and catch up a bit. We didn't feel rushed or overwhelmed. The service was exceptional and they were at our service immediately before we can even say anything! read more
