Ahhh this is one of those places you feel conflicted writing a review for because you want to keep it secret to yourself haha This place has the perfect combo for an AYCE KBBQ place: 1) good quality meat that wasn't too fatty, 2) great service and atmosphere, 3) a crazy good lunch special, and 4) FREE PARKING. Man if I had to recommend my friends to go to a KBBQ spot in Ktown this is now my go-to. AWESOME. We left full after only one round!!! read more

Will give this place one star any chance I get. Had Jin start causing a scene because we came in to eat then some other lady gets between us asking us to s outside, why would I do that if I didn't start? He literally saw us, beelined to us to ask us to leave, again because we didn't tip him and left him one star after he gave the absolute worst service I've ever received. read more

so yummmyyyy!!!!! i rly rly love the potato pancake and steamed egg, def wanna visit again read more

Meat was great and the side dishes were refilled regularly. Great service and a nice private lot behind the restaurant that's free

Service was fast and very helpful. The meat felt fresh and flavorful. The cold noodles were one of my favorites! The bangchan is tangy, spicy, and overall the perfect amount of marinated and curated. read more

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

This all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ had a great selection of delicious meats (I especially loved the marinated meats!), and the service was fast. It's a great restaurant! Following my friend's recommendation, the $38.99 option is already quite good. If you don't mind spending a bit more, the $58.99 option offers a wider variety of premium meats. They offer peeled marinated shrimp, pork cheek marinated in a garlic and chili sauce, well-marbled cuts of beef, delicious steamed egg custard, soybean paste soup, and much more. I love that rich, fatty, melt-in-your-mouth medium-rare marinated beef. My favorite side dish: Macaroni & Cheese, which is 10 times better than Chick-fil-A's! 這家韓烤無限吃到飽肉品種類豐富美味（我超愛吃醃肉）且服務迅速，好店！ 按照友人建議選38.99美金就很不錯了。不介意多花點錢的話，58.99的提供更多種高級肉品。 店家提供醃漬去殼蝦，蒜椒醃豬頰肉，油脂似大理石花紋的牛肉，蒸蛋，黃豆湯等近三十種品項... 就喜歡那油膩膩肥滋滋入口即化的半熟醃牛肉！ 最愛吃的小菜，韓式起司通心粉，比Chick-fil-A的好吃十倍！ read more

yasssss I love this place!!! very affordable compared to what's in the area. parking is easy too!!!! I love going here w my gf!!!!!

Unprofessional, they close at 10:30pm and at 8pm said they couldn't take in customers. They profiled our group and said they ran out of beer, I specified that we were there for food. Extremely rude. 0/10 wouldn't recommend this place. Racist. read more

I had a really frustrating experience here. On January 5th, we were charged twice for the same bill, one card was supposedly declined evnthough it had money, so we paid with another one but then found out both cards were charged. We contacted them multiple times and even went in person, it's March 30 and still haven't received a refund or any follow up, very disappointing, please double check your charges. read more

The service is way better than the other KBBQ's I've gone to. The lunch price is the best from all the other restaurants. Great value

I have many fond memories of Yerim filled with sizzling meats and plentiful soju. There selection of meats is good and and the banchan is absolutely delicious. Word to the wise is order the Gamja-jeon aka potato pancake, Yerim makes a fantastic rendition. Something about this place is so fun, whether it's due to the year round Christmas lights or not is up for debate. Service like any kbbq is called up via the bottom found on your table (something I wish none korean restaurants would adopt). I recommend that anyone who loves kbbq to try this place. A side note is parking is usually ample in the back which can be a rarity in Korean town. read more

Decided to revisit this place today with the family cause it's been a while, we still had a very negative experience, there was literally one worker doing like 7 tables, i felt so bad for him, service was really slow because of lack of employees on the floor. Shame on the owners and managers of this place, I really hope our server can find a better place that treats him better, he looked very young too. It's a manager's responsibility to have enough employees on the schedule so that customers can have proper service in a timely manner. I will not be coming back here anytime soon. read more

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

I've appreciated this place for over 10 years and I still do. I came here on 2/4/26 and was a bit disappointed in the marinated meats. The bulgogi beef turned into mush once it was cooked and the chicken was too soft and mushy. The fresh meats were great but they need to do better with the marinated. I think the next time (and there will be another try) I will have to have the servers eat it and tell me if that's acceptable. Everything else was great but everyone loves bulgogi and you can't let that happen. read more

This has been my number one favorite spot for a decade now. Love the environment and quality of the meat. Have brought so many friends and family here. read more

Unprofessional. I would have liked to try this restaurant, but I was rudely informed by the 'gentleman' at the counter that there is a two person minimum to eat there. I offered to pay for two people, but he just scoffed and shooed me out of the restaurant. I checked the website and it doesn't mention a minimum number of people to eat there. They are free to establish such a minimum, but they should make it very clear, otherwise potential patrons will be wasting their time going there. Even so, they should certainly be kinder to potential patrons. I will advise be advising everyone I know to not patronize this restaurant. read more

Monday 2:45 pm party of 2 My first time here. Enjoyed various panchan Cucumber kimchi Cabbage Kimchi Beef Macaroni salad Bean sprout Jap chae Salad Rice Rice paper squares Triple tray of sesame oil salt pepper, chili sauce, brisket sauce We ordered from the $24.99 menu and stuck to Bulgogi and chicken. Service was efficient. Food was enjoyable. He was happy to come here again. read more

Yerim Korean BBQ - 2024.11.26 - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Me and my partner live close by so we decided to stop by on a Wednesday night. It was pretty empty, only 2-3 other groups. The restaurant felt a lot more homey compared to other KBBQ. It felt like a lowkey spot where close friends can get together and reminisce on fond memories together. We liked it a lot. We really enjoyed the side dishes - especially the salad and the cooked meat. We ordered the AYCE Set A. Price was very reasonable. Definitely not the best we've had but still good. I love steamed egg so I had to order and had no regrets. Service was good too. I will mention the smoke is a bit more on the heavy side which we didn't love as it starts to smell burnt. read more

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

It's more like 4.5 stars but not quite a 5! We came here for lunch and got their premium which is 37.99 but more meat options. We got bulgogi, marinated short rib, and a few other meats. Everything was really good! Some meats were a bit chewy, but overall really good. The sides are all amazing and the service was fast! Definitely will be back because this is one of the better Korean bbq places we've been to that's all you can eat! Pay at the register Big free parking lot read more

I've only been here 2 times. I came based on recommendation from my boyfriend. I remember the first time coming after Anime Expo 2022. The place is a bit hidden in a building located on the corner of Hobart and 3rd St. This place shares a building with medical offices and it can be easy to miss. But the signs that are hanging outside are easy to spot and confirm the location is there. There are alot of tables and seating. I feel this is a place where big parties can come. Of course it's all you can eat, which is what a lot of people look for in a typical kbbq place. The servers are nice and very attentive to our needs. They always make sure they are on top of changing the grills and refilling our waters. Moving onto the food. My favorite part are the sides like the potato salad, potato pancake, and the cold noodles. I thought all the meats were delicious. We got beef brisket, beef bulgogi, beef belly, pork belly and many more I even tried the squid and it was pretty good. I always get so stuffed eating here. Just a tip! They do charge for leftovers! So make sure you clean your plates and make sure you eat everything! This is a pretty good place to come to in Koreatown! It's definitely worth checking out. As someone who loves kbbq, I highly recommend this spot. read more

Lady working there is rude and inattentive. She wanted a tip after saying tip is optional, yet couldn't bring us rice for 20 minutes and turned off the stove on us. She pressed us about it and we told her why there was no tip and she got mad when we told her the service wasn't good. We can clearly see how she treated other people better than us, especially cause we're hispanic and the other people who were eating weren't. Racist place overall, avoid at all costs!!! read more

Still our one and only fave KBBQ place. We tried a lot of KBBQ restaurants already, but we keep on coming back to Yerim. Love the quality of meat and doenjjjang jjigae. read more

My brother and his 2 friends were meeting up for lunch here and included me. We got here at 1145am and didn't realize that they open at 12 noon so we waited outside. As soon as they opened we came back and was seated right away. We ordered the lunch menu at $24.99 per person. It is very limited menu but that is really all we eat anyway. We got: Beef Brisket, Beef Belly and Beed Bulgogi. The serving was a lot compared to other KBBQ places in LA. They serve a few ban chans with it which did not disappoint. I love Kimchi but I didn't find their kimchi that good (I still ate them anyway). They automatically serve you rice and rice paper which I find impractical. Not all people will eat rice and/or rice paper when eating KBBQ. Service wasn't bad. They have their own parking lot which is always a good thing especially when in LA. We will definitely be back again! read more

good prices, fast service, high quality meat! I love that there's a variety of menu options you can pick so that you can choose how much you want to spend and what meat options you're willing to give up for a cheaper price. Definitely would recommend! read more

There's a lot of KBBQ spots to try in Ktown but I have to say that Yerim KBBQ is one of the best ones I've tried yet!! 4 tiers to choose from, great variety of meat options, good quality, attentive customer service, & a convenient parking lot in back!! The restaurant is not that big so it gives a cozy "hole in the wall" vibe. Like I said, there are a lot of Kbbq spots in the area so ultimately it depends on what you like to order. The reason why this place is one of my top spots is because in addition to all my go-to meat options they offer abomasum! Everything we ordered was delicious!! The meats we ordered multiple times were consistent each round so we were very pleased with that. We'll definitely be back!! read more

We haven't visited Yerim is a few years and when we were in the area immediately thought of this restaurant for lunch. The first time we visited (we visited during lunch); You would not believe how many AYCE Korean BBQ places open only for dinner in the Korea-town area. Also, they have ample parking and never had a problem finding it before 4pm; today we arrived around 2pm. It was relatively empty and quite, and there was only one server. Despite my lack of speaking ability in the Korean language and the servers relatively limited English speaking skill, we got everything going and ordered very quickly. Our server was attentive, not needing to ring the bell for service...he was always on alert. We chose the least expensive AYCE options and it was more than enough for our family. The portions of meat were huge and we was more than satisfied for with the taste amount of food/meat(value) and service. Its been a while since our last visit but we were happy that everything is as we remembered. One thing of note, they don't have high chairs for babies and toddlers...which I guess is fine, that's not going to deter us from coming back but we'll certainly bring our own chair next time! read more

Amazing price for KBBQ all you can eat lunch special, only $20 per head. Good service and atmosphere is very chill.

Came here with a party of 9 and was able to get seated pretty quickly on a Saturday around 6pm. We had to sit in 2 different tables next to each other because all couldn't fit in one, but that's fine. We opted for the $35.99 All You Can Eat package and ordered a ton of meat. Everything was so delicious: prime beef brisket, beef belly, marinated beef short rib, beef large intestines, etc. The service was great as they changed the grills very frequently. Very friendly staff. Overall, I liked it a lot here and will definitely come back next time! read more

Not worth the price. The meat was extremely low quality and flavorless. The bulgogi was very bad and melted in your mouth in a deeply disturbing way. I am troubled by this experience. read more

There are a lot of meat selection & they are all fresh. They also give you generous portions which is perfect since I hate calling the server all the time. Other AYCE KBBQ gives you very little even when for your first order. The servers are really nice & friendly. Highly recommended. read more

I've been here several times even before the pandemic and it's always been my favorite ayce kbbq joint. The quality of the meat is so nice and they even take care in presentation when they bring the meats to your table, which is uncommon for ayce restaurants. Service can be slow, but the servers are usually kind so I don't mind too much. I usually try to order everything I'll need at once so I don't need to flag someone down again later. The food here is so good that it greatly outweighs any potential cons. One thing I love especially about this place is that their large intestine is super thick. I've been to plenty of places that serve large intestine but they never serve it as large as Yerim. These remind me of the large intestine I used to get in Korea. It seems they're still only doing outdoor seating, which is perfectly fine by me. They have outdoor tents in the parking lot and the only downside is that the tables are pretty tilted so the plates tend to slide. Other than that, quality is still great and I'll continue to recommend this place to my friends! read more

Visiting Town from Phoenix. I chose this restaurant not for the ratings but for an available parking lot! I am so glad I tried this because it really was amazing, but before we get into that, how bout them seats? Seating is very comfortable for large or wide bodies like mine, and after eating here you'll need the extra space! We ordered the $35 AYCE because the four of us can do damage at an AYCE, these folks made US cry "UNCLE" with just one serving of meats. As we came in staff was already setting the banchan in front of us. So many tasty small plates, this is how they tricked us into not being able to order more meat (lololol). There is no AYCE KBBQ that can rival Yerim in regards to banchan. None! Then the meats came, and we were at lift off! The quality of the meats were pretty good, the amount of meats was awesome! Our server was very attentive to our needs, never allowing the grill to get burned or sticky, actually cooking for us when she thought we were moving too slow with the cooking. , she was making sure we didn't burn that meat lololol. Bottom line, this place is across the street from a more highly rated KBBQ but it has no parking. I will definitely make this a required stop each time I'm in LA. read more

Yerim Korean BBQ - Outside - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Glad this little spot is open during covid times! I used to come here all the time with my husband pre-covid when we were on keto, so it's nice to revisit it during the pandemic. Outdoor seating: Prior to being seated, they check your temperature. The restaurant set up a couple of EZ-Up canopies, plastic fold out tables, chairs, and portable burners so you can cook your meat in the shade outside on one side of the parking lot. They distanced the tables pretty far out from each other (like one per canopy), so it felt safe! There were also string lights at night, which made the atmosphere actually quite nice. Tbh, I think I prefer the outdoor kbbq experience just bc there's less kbbq smell that sticks to your clothes once you leave. Service: Service was kind of spotty, but it's understandable since it's outdoors (a bit of ways from the restaurant) and I'm guessing they're running on limited staff. I think they legit forgot about us for 20 minutes since they didn't set up our grill or bring us any food or banchan after we had ordered. But it's all good. You can tell they were working hard and trying their best with what they had. Regardless, we still left a sizable tip since they deserve it for being open during the pandemic! Bathroom: You can run inside the restaurant to use their restrooms, so no worries there! Parking: there is a free parking lot that is shared with the other businesses in the lot. there's ample parking and i've pretty much never had an issue finding parking (pre-covid... and especially now during covid season). read more

First time here , the server was pushy and rude. A hole in the wall atmosphere is not a deal breaker for food, but it doesn't help any if the service is bad and the food is just average. read more
