My first time here and I had a really good impression. The dinner AYCE price is $39.99 per adult for the premium menu. This included beef tongue and shrimp. The meat quality was pretty good. My favorite was the TK92 premium galbi (too bad it's only one order per person)! It came out brown in some parts, but I love that they came out cut into small pieces already. I love bite sizes! I also loved that the beef tongue was sliced sooo thinly. Another thing I thought was fun - they let you play a little game to try to win a free meal. You press a button that starts a timer and then you press it again to stop it when you think it's at 92. I did not win sadly. I'll come back to try it again though! Service was great. They kept asking if we were ready to order more meat. The sauces were good. The side dishes were good. I think the salad could be less sweet. It is only a 90 minute time limit, compared to other places that let you eat for 2 hours. When I was here around 7 pm on a weekday, I was surprised to see more than half of the place empty. But then it filled up around 8-8:30pm. It seems to me that you can avoid a wait by coming early. It's also a good idea to come early because the parking lot gets full.
Havent been here since covid and i think quality did get a little better since. They have a wait area where yiu can play claw machine and some arcade games or drink at the bar area. They had gdragons highball and of course i had to try both. I do prefer the black one over the red. Service wasnt too bad except the server did forget some stuff but when he saw us, he remembered. But we also had a group of 20 so it was probably over whelming. My favorite wouldve been the scallops and beef tongue. Tables are a bit small so it felt like we always had to nake room to squeeze things. Also saw a jinro frog soju machine. Since i didnt get soju im not sure if they offer it to use or if someone brought their own to use.
We ordered the Deluxe package, which is slightly more expensive than some other KBBQ spots. One thing to note is that they don't have separate lunch and dinner pricing--it's one price throughout the day. That being said, I think the price is justified by the quality and selection of the meat. Compared to the basic packages at other KBBQ restaurants, TK92 had a much better variety and the meat tasted fresh and high quality. One of the fun things they do is a timer game when you first arrive--you try to stop the timer at exactly 0.92 seconds for a chance to win a free meal! We were told that people actually do win, so definitely give it a try. They also had a great selection of sides. The Korean pancake was definitely one of my favorites. It was crunchy and super flavorful. Service was good throughout our meal, and parking was really convenient. They have underground parking with a 3-hour time limit, which is more than enough time for KBBQ. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. It's a little pricier than some other KBBQ options, especially since there's no separate lunch pricing, but the meat quality, selection, sides, and overall experience make it worth it. Would definitely recommend!
Love the vibe in this KBBQ! I came to eat with a larger party and thankfully, they provided us with two separate circle grills. When you walk into the restaurant, you can do the time challenge and if you hit the right time they have posted, they will comp your meal. We opted for the more expensive side which was only a few dollars extra compared to the basic menu. We did try all of the premium meats (obviously) and none of them really stood out to the table. The TK92 premium galibi was extremely tough and chewy. I also thought that brisket was kinda mid. The only thing that really stood out were the marinated meats. The bulgogi hot pot was kind of unexpected since it was a sweet udon soup dish. The fried dumplings were popular amongst our table! They're also pretty strict with the time limit.
Visited TK92 with my wife and family on a busy weekend and was seated after about a 30 minute wait time. There's no online queue or reservations so watch out for that. The waiting area is pretty big, kind of like a lounge with a arcade on the side, very aesthetic and spacious. Parking - Free above and underground lot, spacious overall and plentiful. One fun aesthetic about this spot is that you can play game to see if you can hit "0.92" on the machine, if you do then you get your meal for FREE, but of course it's very hard. My brother got 0.91 so it was quite close, nonetheless, a little fun experience before you get seated. There's plenty of tables here and it's very spacious between you and the other diners in the restaurant. It can get a bit stuffy with all the smoke from the grill but other than that, very clean overall with plenty of staff walking around. Each staff is designated to a specific area and they're all pretty quick. They're friendly as well which is a nice gesture to see. With how busy it is, they're always on the move and they got some of our orders wrong along with missed orders which is understandable. All the meats that we've tried were so delicious, personal favorite goes to the bulgogi, beef belly, and brisket. All the cuts were very good and not too fatty which is the best part. The bonchon is great as well, plenty of options and most of them are what you usually see at standard Korean restaurants. Personal favorite goes to the fish cake, a bit spicy but very delicious overall. Besides the meat cuts, I love their kimchi fried rice, although it used to be bigger portions and come in a Korean lunch box, now it's just a small bowl, still tasty regardless. Also love their steamed egg, super puffy and very delicious, not too salty either. Overall, one of the best KBBQ spots not only in SGV but all of California/US/Worldwide. They have so much meat cuts, many non meat options as well, great staff, clean restaurant, and most of all, very delicious foods. Happy that TK92 is still consistent and high quality after all these years.
We tried the $39.99 Deluxe AYCE tier at TK92 in San Gabriel. The scallops were the highlight of the meal. They were fresh and tasty, although they came in the shell and were on the smaller side. We also really enjoyed the steamed egg, K-ramen, and fried dumplings. The kimchi fried rice, cheese fondue, and tofu stew were just okay and didn't really stand out. As for the meats, the quality was average and not what I'd consider premium. The beef brisket was especially a bit rough and chewy. The restaurant was also a little noisy, making it harder to have a conversation. Service was quick. Overall, it's a decent AYCE spot for the price.
Attentive service, great menu selection and the atmosphere is almost like a night market but indoors. We had the Premium menu and it's worth it! Just come early on weekends, our wait was 1.5 hours. Get lucky on the game and win a free meal!
I love how interactive they are by letting each person play a game before being seated. If you hit ".92" you get a free meal. My bf surprisingly got it so he ate for free! The meat here is pretty good. I also liked the sides that they had, like the buldak noodles and scallion pancakes (they were dangerously yummy since it can be very filling!) Overall, the servers here are amazing. They're constantly checking in to see if we wanted more meat, needed a grill change, or if the air vent was properly lowered, etc. Def will be back for this affordable KBBQ spot!
Came over to try out this kbbq spot recently. They have good portions, servers came around for orders in a timely fashion and changed our grill when needed. My favorites were the green onion pancake, steamed eggs, boneless short ribs, & LA galbi. I liked that there was a good amount of variety as that is what I tend to look for in AYCE!
Few people we need more to highlight! Derek and Zachary are the best! So easy to talk to, answered all our questions, on top of all our orders, AND fun to talk to! It's one thing to have great service, it's a totally new ball game when the servers are actually fun to connect with! These two are awesome!!! Our hostess, Trelena, navigated a thousand people waiting in line AND did it with a smile! She was graceful, smiling, and carried all her work with so much patience! Thanks for your warm welcome!! Now the food! Ok, this place has an amazing lineup in their premium menu! Highly recommend getting their Boneless Short Rib, Marinated Beef Short Rib and their Beef Brisket! All amazing! We will be back! Soon!
Great ayce kbbq spot if in the 626 area without having to go to LA! We waited 45 mins for them to open because we didn't know they didn't open until after 5pm. Food was great and staff was great. It was a pretty big place. We didn't expect it to be that deep inside. They did mess up on our receipt so it was a little inconvenient to run multiple charges. But it's fine. It happens. Kimchi was off tasting but they brought a different batch. They ran out of some things but no biggie They have a button to push for a certain time and you can win a meal. So that's exciting. The decor is nice as well. Parking can be a hassle if you come at a busy time. It looks like it'll be crazy fighting for parking when chubby group opens their restaurant in that plaza. But will be back. Lovely place for kbbq
I visited TK92 Korean BBQ with my husband, and we had such a great experience. It's an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spot, but honestly, it felt even more "Korean" than some places back in Korea. The interior is decorated with a Taekwon V theme, which was so unique and nostalgic. It really brought back old memories and gave us that authentic Korean vibe, which we loved. The food quality and variety were excellent, and everything we tried was delicious. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Since it's a very popular place, there can be a wait, and sometimes the servers are quite busy so food might come out a bit slower--but they were always kind and did their best to take care of us. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back!
** TLDR ** SLOW service, expect char-coated grills and avoided gazes. The only consistency is their bait-and-switch tactic on premium cuts of meat which are already limited in quantity AND their lack of attention for grill changes. - - - - - - I've long had TK92 on my list and thought it was a must-try... turns out it's actually a must avoid! Parking is by far the best part, since there's plenty of underground parking. When you enter, there is a gundam-like vibe. Reservations are allowed, but note that tables only really seat 4. It's hard to have larger parties, and you will be split between more than one table. (And 18%+ gratuity will still be required even if you can't sit at the same table.) With only a $3 price difference, it's so tempting to order the most expensive menu. The meats the first round were amazing. However, after ordering the same meats again, the meats that were very tough and rubbery. While the meats were highly inconsistent, there were two consistent things. The first were the limited scallops, and the second was the lack of service. Our servers barely came by, and our grill was often charred to the point where you could've told me it was a charcoal machine for a grill pan, and I'd believe you. Overall, TK92 easily ranks as the biggest disappointment for AYCE KBBQ that I've had in a while.
Our FAVORITE KBBQ! The staff is so lovely, helpful, happy to answer questions or help cook if we need it. They are incredibly attentive and always show up to change the grill at the perfect time. We get the premium usually short rib, galbi, shrimp, pork belly, bulgogi, chicken, and a few others paired with kimchi fried rice, spicy ramen, and extra japchae! The fresh soju is my favorite it's so crisp and light and they have really decent wine options as well! Highly recommend if you want a casual KBBQ experience with fantastic food and great staff. If I had one piece of feedback personally, we always stay well within the table time limit but we usually ask for more time to order more meats several times because it's a lot in a very short window so we need a break. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner with a party of 8 people and I'm glad they accept big parties. When we walked in, there was a big waiting area with couches and a bar area (that actually doesn't have anyone there serving alcohol) to lounge around, and there were also a lot of posters and such which was pretty cool. Food was amazing! Their side dishes / banchans were the star. They had many great options like japchae, fish cakes, radish, green onion pancakes, and more. The only one they didn't have was kimchi. The quality was also better than most places in my opinion. For the meats, we got the premium version and they were all really good quality and looked very marbled. The short rib was the best as it melts in your mouth. I'd say for an ayce place, this place is very good. Service was also great as our server checked up on us constantly. It was kind of hard to make a reservation because they wouldn't pick up the phone. So we tried many times and about 2-3 days and then they picked up. Overall, would come back! read more

Food, and service were great. check-in process was easy. The tofu soup is on the medium side in terms of spicness in our opinion. I wish we're had more room in our belly to try their the other meats - it was our first time there so we picked from their Deluxe menu. Our only gripe is the lighting at our table was not bright at all so half of our grill was in the dark. We'll be back. read more
Been meaning to try TK92 for awhile and finally came on a Wednesday night for dinner when they were not busy so we got a table easily. First, great decor as where else can you get AYCE Korean BBQ with a big robot and giant clothes pins in the lobby? The inside is a big space and I'm told this place used to be a small movie theater? Food and service were good - check out my pics - and what I didn't realize until after the meal was that they didn't give us any kim chi or other spicy pickled veggies like radishes but from other pics on Yelp, they should have kim chi. Maybe they just ran out that night? But, we ate a lot of the fish cake side so we made up for it. I will be back and this is my new go to AYCE Korean BBQ place. read more

This place was so yummy! When we went it wasn't too busy so we got really good service. I especially liked the japchae and egg soufflés. The meat was really good- I would say it was definitely worth the slightly higher price than KBBQs at other places. read more
Holy wow the service here is amazing. I was so impressed at how quickly the food came, the grill was changed, the waiters coming over to check up on us. Was pretty amazing. All in all a great experience and the food quality was good too. Price for the deluxe was $36.99 and there were plenty of parking in the lot. read more

On a scale of good, better, or best, this is definitely in the better +, if not the best category of AYCE KBBQ I've been. Came here after a friend, who suggested it, tried it without me and raved how awesome this place was. She wasn't wrong. I will start off by saying that if you're a big eater like me, plan ahead. There is a 90-minute dining time limit so make each order count. Tried the deluxe ($36.99 pp) but there's also a premium option ($39.99 pp). I ordered almost everything on the menu and nothing disappointed. Every item was delicious and full of flavor. The premium steak, bulgogi, galbi, and pork belly were the standouts. For the sides, the steamed egg and the soft tofu soup are must-gets. Service was good and they periodically check if you want to put in additional orders but when it gets busy, you may need to flag down someone to help you so you don't run out of the 90-minute eating time. The restaurant also had an awesome ambiance, with a Mazinger Z (sp) when you enter and its posters on the walls. Free parking in the underground parking lot just under the plaza. Looking forward to returning soon! read more
Came here on a Friday for lunch with no wait which was great. Make sure to check hours as they currently only open for lunch on Fri-Sun. Cute interior decor. The entrance feels like an old arcade and vintage shop Parking: located in the same plaza as Boiling point. More parking underground garage. The difference between the Premium and Deluxe AYCE is the short rib option. I'd say it was worth paying a few more dollars if you're into short rib. The P1 TK Short Rib was our favorite as it was thin and tender. They have a good variety of banchan side dishes. If you don't care much for short rib the deluxe is still a good option. Overall customer service was great and they'd always make sure to check if you need a new grill change or want to add more orders read more

Went to TK92 to celebrate my birthday, This AYCE kbbq spot checks all the boxes and then some when you are talking about HIGH Quality meats, flavorful banchan, and amazing ambiance! - Meats were on point! went heavy on the beef belly and brisket to start and then started going in on the marinated meats like galbi and LA short ribs were full of those sweet and savory flavors that were complimented by the banchan and pork selections. - the scallion pancake, kimchi, and jjol myun were rolling in plus plenty of rice paper came in super clutch during the meal. Service was solid overall, checking in with us every 15-20 minutes and timely with the orders rolling in. Ambiance was great! High ceilings with exposed piping of all the ventilation systems towering down was something different and added a high-end touch. The ventilation systems I thought were really cool just because you can drop the vents down directly to the meat in order to avoid getting gas masked by meat smoke! overall, a solid 4.8 rating! Got something to celebrate? or even just wanna have a great kbbq experience with HQ meat? Well for $40 this place you can't miss! read more
Came here on a whim because the other restaurant we were trying to go had over an hour wait time, and glad we chose this place over the other one. It was a nice surprise to see that the restaurant is themed after a 70s Korean robot movie called Robot TaeKwon V. The food here is all very delicious and the quality is really good for ayce. The side dishes were very flavorful, normally at ayce kbbq restaurants the side dishes are mediocre, but we throughly enjoyed each one. We mainly went for the beef, which was good and the soonduboo and steamed egg were also delicious. Staff are friendly, plenty of parking available, and affordable. Definitely coming back soon. read more

Today was my fourth time coming to this place, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. Meats are decently priced, but banchan leaves much to be desired. Also, the place has been open for years but still serve drinks in cans... it's 2024, an all you can eat restaurant should have fountain drinks. Selling cans individually feels like I'm being nickled and dimed. I'm also not sure how they managed to do it, but the service was very lacking tonight. Three separate times I asked for either more banchan or other items and each time they never came. Once we paid, we waited about 15 mins before we had to remind the waiter to bring us back our card lol. The attached picture is a notice of an ownership change from June. If this has already occurred, it's not looking good. read more
Came to try out this uniquely themed KBBQ restaurant for AYCE. We ordered from the lower-priced Deluxe menu and were surprised to see the variety of options they offered. The Marinated Short Rib, Pork Jowl (original and spicy), and shrimp were all really good. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the brisket or rib fingers. The brisket was a little too lean and the rib fingers were mostly tough. Similar feelings with the banchans...only liked the japche (noodles). Although, one kid killed 5 orders of the Korean pancake. I guess he got his moneys worth with that dish alone. The service was great and attentive. Note that it could get smokey when the restaurant fills up. The ventilation system they use only works when the retractable hoods are lowered all the way. In short, I liked the variety of options, ambiance, and service. Wasn't too impressed with some staple menu items but I would definitely give it another shot in the future. read more
It's smoky. That's the first thing you'll notice before you're directed to your booth. I've been to my share of KBBQ's around SoCal, but this place stood out as having some of worst ventilation I've seen. A part of me thought that it might be better when I'm in the booth, but that's not true. It feels like you're in a steam room with a KBBQ aroma. That was my one big con. Everything else was pretty good. Service was pretty great, and I actually enjoyed the servers that came by. All the meat was also good; although, nothing really stood out. I enjoyed most of their sides. read more

I came here with a couple of Korean friends (one Korean American, the other one Korean) to see what was up. The place did not disappoint. My Korean friend mentioned how it's exactly like the Korean Barbecue places back in Seoul. The service is amazing. There was one of several servers at our table almost every 10 minutes asking if we wanted to place another order, or changing our grill for a clean one, or just in general being attentive and courteous. The ambiance has a very cool retro look. The vibes are immaculate and Mazinger Z is featured throughout the whole restaurant as some sort of mascot. That was such a unique touch. The food is delicious. The meat is tender and you can tell they serve you the most prime cuts they can source. Will definitely be back. 100% recommended. read more

After a long year, I finally decided to get some KBBQ again and I'm so happy to have tried TK92 Korean BBQ. The food is super delicious and service was quick. Staff were kind and attentive towards customers. I definitely will be coming back and recommend this place! read more
After working out my boyfriend and I enjoy treating ourselves out and although I have never been here , it wouldn't be my last. The service was fast and nice. We were greeted , questions were answered when we had any, recommendations were helpful from the staff and patience was appreciated. The meat quality is good , they have a lot of good options and portions were perfect. Flavor was great. The place itself is pretty big so there are plenty of seats , love how the plaza that it's in you can easily get dessert but also location wise there's dessert in every corner! I never came here during peak lunch or dinner hours so I wouldn't know what it's like when it's busy busy because my boyfriend and I always arrive when it's open so there's rarely anyone there yet but first impressions were great and would highly recommend to give it a try ! read more

First time coming to TK92! We ordered so much food - brisket, thinly sliced pork belly, chicken bulgogi, shrimp, vegetables, steamed egg, tofu soup, octopus and a whole lot more. Quality of the meats/proteins are really great and the sides are just as delicious. My favorite was the kimchi fried rice and shrimp. This is the first KBBQ place that I've been to or have even heard of that has the shrimp pre-peeled! And for that reason alone I will for sure be coming back. The restaurant is clean and the staff is very attentive. We came on a Sunday around 12:30p for lunch so it wasn't crowded yet but the server we got was outstanding. So friendly and kept making sure that our group was good. read more
Visited here during lunch on an empty stomach to make the most of the AYCE. It was our first time and I enjoyed it overall. They open at noon on the weekends, and we arrived early so we only had to wait 10 minutes outside. Compared to other KBBQ places, they offered more side dishes such as fish cake and macaroni salad in addition to the usual sides like kimchi, salad, and red radish. You have to scan their QR code to view the menu on your phone. We went with the Deluxe ($36.99/person) and could only order three meats and three sides at a time. The LA Galbi and pork belly were seasoned perfectly and tender. I'm no expert on meat quality but all the meats tasted great and tender. For the sides, we tried the mushrooms, steamed egg, kimchi fried rice, soft tofu soup, julmyun, and cheese fondue. Everything was good except the julmyun- way too spicy for us and had to force ourselves to finish it to not be charged for food waste. Service was excellent. The staff frequently checked on us and changed our grills when it got too burnt. The meat did come out a bit too slow for our liking, especially since some types of meat were limited to 2-3 pieces (e.g., LA Galbi). Ambiance was also on point with pretty lights hanging in the middle of the restaurant and plenty of room for seating. read more

I had high hopes for this place but it was altogether disappointing. I've heard of this place for the spectacular quality when it was a la carte but now that they have switched their model to ayce, it's not even worth it. At $35/pp for the regular menu it was subpar. You can only order 3 meats at once which is typical but the serving size when it gets to your table is laughable. On our first round, we ordered brisket, pork belly, and the rib finger. There were 2 pieces of pork belly on the plate and about 10 slices of brisket on another plate. That wasn't even enough meat to get us going. Granted, we were a party of 3 girls and we ate slow but can you imagine a party of 6 and they bring out 2 pieces of pork belly??? This resulted in inefficient timing of meat and this was the first time that I've ever had a break in between ordering where the grill was just burning, waiting for the meat to arrive. Maybe this was their business plan all along tho- get full off of banchan and the more you wait the more full you get as time goes on. The meat quality was all subpar. Brisket is my favorite and I have to say that it was horrible quality. The sliced pork belly was horrible too. It was so dry and tasted like I was eating Turkey. The only meat that I did enjoy was the rib eye and marinated rib fingers. The galbi was also good too. The best thing here was actually the banchan. They had a good variety and they all were good. However, I'm not here for the banchan, I'm here for the quality of the meat and this was not it. I won't be returning as the meat quality is horrible and the customer service is lacking. read more
Holy moly, the interior looks amazing! I've never been to such a detailed AYCE KBBQ joint like this before. Definitely would recommend coming here with your group of friends that want to experience a hipster joint at a retro Japanese transformer-themed restaurant. Parking: The place is located in the plaza and you won't know where it is because the sign is very low-key. Once you see a big transformer statue that's the door to the restaurant all the way down the corner from the side of boiling point. I would recommend parking in the underground parking structure if there are no outside parking spaces available. Service: Lunch on a Friday, it wasn't really busy but seating will take about 5-10 mins to have the staff prep your table. Granted, there were no parties ahead of me for 2 people, so I can only imagine weekend lunch or dinner rush hour. The place can get busy, so show up sooner (15-30 mins) than your usual time to get seated. Or call ahead to check the wait time. Food: I got the premium AYCE BBQ (for the experience~) and they have a large variety and interesting specials compared to other kbbq joints. Their specialty was the TK92 Marinated Beef Short Rib every easy to eat and juicy. Your girl doesn't remember her favorite meats because they all start tasting the same after a while. BUT what I remember and will definitely get again is the LA Galbi, Bulgogi, and the TK92 Beef Short Rib! read more
Saturday night around 730pm wait was an hour for 3 people. There's a really big waiting area with comfy couches and a Photo Booth. The actual dining area had lots of space and I didn't feel crowded like I usually do at other kbbq places despite it being busy. The meats were delicious we especially liked the beef tongue and I really like the LA Galbi and beef belly. The side dishes were also great. The steamed egg was so soft and fluffy perfectly cooked. I LOVED the cold noodles the veggies helped cut through the fatty meats and the sauce had a kick to it. They also have kimchi and sliced jalapeños you just have to ask for them separately. Servers were super attentive with grill changes and would check on us to make sure we put in our next order of meats when our table started to look empty. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more
I would give this 3.5/5 stars. Came here for a friend's birthday dinner, a party of 10 people, on a Friday evening around 6pm. The wait was about 1.5 hours give or take. Our whole table ordered the Deluxe BBQ and our total came out to $45 per person after tip and tax. This was my first time at TK but I've been to Thirsty Cow many times, which is a similar level of ayce kbbq since their prices and meat quality are similar. After eating here, I personally would choose Thirsty Cow as I like their sides more and the meat quality seems a bit better. The meat quality at TK is mediocre, something about it didn't really impress me. They do have a good option of sides to choose from, such as kimchi fried rice, steam egg, and ramen. The portions of meat come in small plates which is kind of inconvenient because you have to ask for the server to come around more often. The meat also shrinks a lottt after you finish cooking it, so it's actually less than you think. In the beginning, the service was kind of lacking but it got better once we settled down. The servers were very kind and tried their best to get everything to the table asap. The ventilation inside was really bad tbh as there was smoke throughout the restaurant and I came out smelling stronger than I usually would after kbbq. Overall the food was good, the steamed egg was probably my favorite, but I'm not sure if it was $45 worth after the bill... I'd say it's like $35 worth. I would definitely recommend trying Thirsty Cow over TK, but both are good ayce kbbq to compare between. read more
Ayce! Came by Saturday right when they opened and there was already people waiting. We were seated quickly and we opt for the premium menu $40. The meat quality was great, the beef tongue was a little thinner. My favorite would be the boneless short ribs and season shrimps! It's rare to have the shrimps come peeled already which was a plus! The steam egg was fluffy and soft. Staffs were all very attentive and they will let you know when your 90min time is up for last call. read more
In a sea of A5, wagyu, kobe style bbq places opening up these days, come along the higher-end prices and memberships. It seems like a good KBBQ these days costs an average of $60+/pp = :/ I won't say TK92 is bad quality or bottom of the barrel but I very much appreciate they are not forcibly up-selling you on all these much higher price meats, especially if I'm not on the hunt for them. The meats were still great here, I was satisfied and full. One thing I'll say is that many of the nonmeat dishes were better quality than I've had at other restaurants, even ones that specialize in them. I know you're not supposed to fill up on the carbs, but the Jjolmyeon (spicy cold noodles) was so good here. Great presence with the spice and sweetness as well as the chew from the noodles. This with some freshly grilled meat was the best bite. Another noteworthy nonmeat dish was the Japchae. I was let down spicy rice cake was on the menu but they didn't actually have it. I'm not sure if they just didn't have it that night, or if it's just completely off the menu. I do like how the banchans were already at the table when we sat down so we could get started on them right away. One fault of this though was items that should be hot were no longer hot, such as the pancake & Japchae. I was surprised there was no kimchi, so we asked for some and it seems they don't readily have it at the table like the other banchan. There are 2 tiers, the cheaper one $36.99 while the other is $39.99. With the higher tier, I think the only difference is you get 3 other meat selections with one of them being the Premium Marinated Beef Short Rib (only one order per person). This was the most tender meat I had. None of the meats left me dissatisfied and with that, I go back to the much higher priced AYCE (more premium) places you can find in the greater LA area. I'm not a butcher, and the meats are already good here, so I have a hard time justifying the more premium cuts. Yes they might be more tender (sometimes not), better marbling. But I don't see that much of a difference. Service was great here and I never had to hunt sometime down to get a grill change or order meats. You can only order 3 meats each round just FYI, but it wasn't an issue. It seems they don't do any type of dessert for bdays, but instead comped a bottle of soju which I think is even better. It's more spacious here than even I knew and I think that's because of the really high ceilings. Tables appear to be spaced apart fairly well so it did not feel too cramped even though it was busy when I went. There is a comic/anime/retro aesthetic to the place that is pretty cool. There is a fairly sized waiting area that I feel as though could be its own separate bar area and perhaps was one at a time. There is a parking lot with narrow spots which are sometimes hard to find because it fills up fast. If you are looking for some KBBQ in the area and don't want to break the bank you should check out TK92. Cheers! read more
Loved this place!!! I brought my daughter here to celebrate her getting good grades and we spent two hours eating till we were about to pop with no dirty looks or being rushed. Definitely recommend getting the premium because the short rib is ridiculously amazing. Everything was fresh. Some of the best soon tofu I've ever had. Customer service was quick and all the little robots made a cool little atmosphere. It has officially become my favorite KBBQ in the SGV. read more

The first time we came, we got there a little late so we weren't able to get a table. Came back during the week and only waited a few minutes. Not only was everyone super friendly, they were all on it! Never had to ask for the grill to be changed - they just came or never to bug the servicer for more meat; they were constantly attentive. We had one "main" waitress but everyone who came across our table asked if we needed anything. SUCH AMAZING SERVICE! Besides the service being great, the flexible vent pipe is such a game changer. It really makes a difference with all the smoky cooking. Now the food... it was really good - I love trying out different spots for kbbq, but this one is a gem. I'll be going back next time I have a kbbq. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the steamed egg--it was SO salty but whatever; who cares? I can live without the egg on my next visit. Let's not forget to mention how cute the decor is in this place. It's a giant video game. read more

Ask the Community - TK92 Korean BBQ
How much for kids?
When is last seating and last call?
There business hour 4PM ~ 11PM enjoy your meal .
Do you take reservations?
Are the AYCE items still dry aged?
Are the AYCE meats different quality cuts from the combo/a la carte orders?
We went on Saturday night and was told that it is the same cuts of meats as the combos.
Is TK92 AYCE? If not please remove them from ayce searches its confusing?
They are back to an AYCE menu!
Is the price for combos, per person or small for maybe 2 people and large for a bigger group?
Small premium beef combo is $90, ideal for 2 people. Large is $140, for about 4 people, super expensive. Check out my review for this place, the price is not worth it.
Is it all you can eat now?
It's not, overpriced and not worth it imo. At that price point go to Baekjong.
Is there still outdoor seating?
There was no outdoor dining when I went last month.
Hi is this place all u can eat? If so what are the prices. Thank you
It currently isn't all you can eat. It used to be. May return soon it's al la carte but portion can feed 2 + people and you get your money's worth. They have combos for larger parties of 6-8 as well.
Do they take tables for just one person or does it have to be two or more?
You can get a table for one.
The family set is for how many people?
varies, on how much you eat, i had four people, about 50 bucks each after tax tip
Any word on when TK92 will resume AYCE? My friends and I have not visited since the last time they were AYCE. Thanks.
No official word yet. But I would assume when restaurants fully open to 100% capacity. This al la carte method saves them time and money because they can flip tables faster. I'll ask next time I'm there.
Does this place take reservations if not how packed does it usually get?
They do not take reservations. Outside seating has around 7-9 tables. Inside seating opens after 5pm on weekdays at least when I went. Expect a 1-3 hour wait weekends depending on what time you go. It's not ayce.
Do you think you'll go back to AYCE in June 2021 when we fully reopen?
Currently still no AYCE
