Exceptional experience at Chubby Cattle BBQ Monterey Park! The quality of the food was outstanding-everything was fresh, premium, and absolutely delicious. What really made our visit memorable was the fast and attentive service. Our server, YC, was amazing! YC was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Their recommendations were spot on, and they made the entire dining experience smooth and enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We had such a great experience at Chubby Cattle BBQ! The food was delicious, everything was fresh, and the service was amazing. Our server, Kelvin, was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. He made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

My new favorite BBQ spot! Chubby Club hits the perfect sweet spot between premium quality and great value. The ingredients are top-notch, and the staff makes you feel right at home. It’s the kind of comfort food that just feeds your soul after a long week. Highly recommend!

We came on a weekday and there was no wait. Alex took great care of us and explained everything since it was our first time. We got the diamond menu , everything was delicious and came out fast. Definitely will be back and take photos next time ! Came back a 2nd time on April 7. Service was a bit slow the first 20 minutes and there was only 2 other tables in the restaurant, but after that the kitchen started sending out food alot faster. Also the salmon nigiri wasn’t as fresh tasting as the first time. So 3.5 / 5 stars the 2nd visit.

Absolute perfection! The meat quality at Gyu-Samurai is next level for an all-you-can-eat spot. You can truly taste the care and quality in every bite. The service was incredibly warm, making the whole dining experience feel like a treat. Already counting down the days until my next visit!

Absolutely LOVED our experience at Chubby Cattle! The food was amazing, but Kelvin truly made our night even better! He was seriously the BEST — so attentive, incredibly nice, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. His energy was so welcoming and he made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Amazing food + amazing service is always a win! Huge shoutout to Kelvin for making our experience so memorable. We will definitely be coming back.

Great experience and vibe at Chubby Cattle MP location. Compare to other locations like Vegas, or Irvine, this location does not offer a self serve bar. However you could still get most of the stuff thru the menu. Overall good and same quality as other locations. Great service as well.

I came here on a Monday around 9 PM in May 2026. Even though the restaurant was still very crowded, there was no wait at all. Our server, Amy, provided absolutely amazing service. She was always smiling, reacted quickly to every request, and made sure we had the best dining experience possible. She helped us cook and cut the meat, and she was also very attentive in adjusting the table setup to give us more space and make everything more comfortable. For example, whenever a new soup dish came out, she would quickly rearrange the table so we could enjoy the meal comfortably without feeling crowded. You can really tell she pays attention to the customer experience. All of the meat was incredibly fresh, and every side dish was delicious. They are also very generous with their portions and not afraid to serve high-quality cuts. At one point Amy got very busy, and the manager Kevin came to help us. Both of them were extremely kind, welcoming, and professional. This is honestly one of the best BBQ experiences I’ve ever had. The food was amazing, but the service made it even more memorable. I will definitely be coming back again!

My daughter is a huge fan of this restaurant, and honestly, I’m not opposed to eating delicious grilled meat either! 😄 We were seated very quickly, and the table was already prepared with all the small side dishes and sauces. Once we selected our meats, everything arrived almost immediately and was put on the grill right away. I love how fast everything cooks—you can start eating within minutes and enjoy the food as it’s being prepared. The fixed-price AYCE (all-you-can-eat) option makes the experience simple and stress-free. Delicious food, fast service, and a great atmosphere. A favorite spot for both me and my daughter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All you can eat Korean bbq in Los Angeles, located at Korean Town. Reasonable prices, decent food quality; a wide selection of meats including chicken, beef, pork, and seafood. There are also many Korean dishes and drinks. A variety of Korean appetizers were served at the beginning. Additionally, a staff member helped us with the grilling; grilexcellent value for money. I recommend Korean cheese fried rice.

Stopped by today for lunch. Our server, Justin was very kind and made sure we had all we needed throughout our dining experience. The meat selection for the Lunch Special was extensive and our favorites were the pork steak and beef bulgogi. All the accompaniments were great and we loved the potato salad as well. Give this cute Korea town staple a try! We will return.

We came at 6PM on a Monday and waited 5 minutes for a table. Ambiance was lively with KPOP music playing in the background. We tried several cuts of beef and they were tender with great flavors. Our waiter cooked the meats for us which was nice. We parked on the streets since the parking lot is extremely small and it’s valet parking only. We will definitely returned again the next time we’re in town.

Great option for Korean Bulgogi. Recommend the premium menu if you like to eat meat. The rib eye and the premium short rib were very tasty. Also would recommend the marinated beef and the pork belly. The only item that I tried but didn’t love was the beef tongue. It was a bit chewy but didn’t stop me from rating this a 5 star for this type of food/restaurant.

We had the best experience at Bulgogi Hut! The food was absolutely amazing everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Our server (we sadly forgot her name) was incredible. She was wearing glasses, and she was extremely kind, welcoming, and attentive. She checked on us consistently and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. Her positive attitude truly made our night special. Honestly, I want to come back not just for the amazing food, but mainly because of her outstanding service. She’s the best! Deffff recommended 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷💖💖💖

Came for the KBBQ, stayed because Arrah delivered legendary service. From the second we sat down, she was on another level — insanely attentive, fast, friendly, and somehow managed to make the whole experience feel like VIP dining while the grill was going full chaos mode. She kept the vibes high, the food flowing, and never missed a beat. Honestly one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in a long time. If you come here and Arrah is your server, you already won. Give that woman a raise.

I dont know what happened today. We have been coming here for years and this is the first time we received horrible service. From the moment we walked in there was no eye contact from the receptionist. The orders were all over the place and the waitress didnt know what to charge or what to bring to the table. When we received the first dishes, the waitress just threw them on the table and we already felt the negativity. Then others would bring more meat to us after we had already received it. The grill was never replaced and its odd because people would always replace them. As we looked around others had their grills smoking and the placed started to quickly smell like charred meat. What happened today?

Arrah was an amazing server! Food was amazing and atmosphere would come back again! The buy two get one free soju was such a great deal

Friend recommended this place and surprisingly the fastest service I had in LA. We’re a party of 8 that walked in on a Sunday, no wait!!! I just ordered meats a few seconds ago and it was already there in our table!!! Insane!! Kudos to all the workers here especially our waitress Arrah! So kind!! Deserves all the good reviews

Good prices, great selection of meats, and even better service! Shoutout to Arrah, came in for date night and she made my wife’s and I experience. She is so attentive and is great at following up when are meat and drinks were low. And in a time where having a happy attitude in food service is going away, she was nothing but pure smiles. Thanks Arrah for being so kind. 10/10 recommend!

Went straight here after a 6-hour drive last night and the service was impressive right from the start. Even though it was packed at around 9:40 PM, we were seated right away. Banchan (appetizers) came out immediately, and ordering was quick and efficient. I ordered the beef back rib soup, and it absolutely hit the spot—rich, comforting, and loaded with meat. At around $25, it’s great value and easily a 5/5 for both taste and price. My partner ordered the beef hot plate stew with cheese, which was over $100. Unfortunately, that dish didn’t live up to the price. It was heavy on vegetables and bones, and while the flavor was okay (a bit on the sweet side), it just didn’t feel worth it. I’d rate it 2/5 for taste, but 0/5 for value. Atmosphere wasn’t great—busy, loud, and not very relaxing (2/5). But the service really stood out (5/5). Ratings: Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 2/5 Beef back rib soup: 5/5 (highly recommend) Soup value: 5/5 Hot plate stew with melted cheese toppings : 2/5 (taste), 0/5 (price) Overall, come for the soups—they’re satisfying, well-priced, and worth it. Skip the expensive hot plate (beef stew with cheeses toppings) dishes.

We really enjoyed our visit to Sun Nong Dan. The food was delicious, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. The portions were generous, and the atmosphere inside was lively and enjoyable. The only downside was that we had to wait quite a long time to get in, but once we were seated, the experience was much better. Overall, we had a good time and would come back again — just recommend planning for a wait during busy hours.

Sun Nong Dan delivers one of the most memorable Korean dining experiences in Koreatown, especially if you enjoy bold flavors and sizzling dishes. The ambience is lively and energetic, with the comforting aroma of stews and grilled meats filling the space as soon as you walk in. The signature galbi jjim topped with cheese remains the standout, arriving bubbling hot and packed with rich flavor. Even during busy hours, the staff move quickly and efficiently, keeping the meal flowing without long delays. The restaurant has a warm, bustling feel that makes it perfect for late‑night cravings or group meals. The food arrives fresh and steaming, with portions large enough to share. The flavors are deep and satisfying, making each bite memorable and comforting. Seating can be tight, but the energy of the space adds to the overall experience. The menu leans heavily toward meat dishes, so it’s ideal for diners who enjoy hearty Korean comfort food. Despite the crowds, the service remains attentive, and dishes come out consistently well‑prepared. Overall, Sun Nong Dan is a place you remember long after the meal, especially if you enjoy Korean cuisine with strong flavors and generous portions. It’s the kind of restaurant you naturally return to whenever you’re craving something warm, bold, and comforting.

Personally, I think the food is good, but not «we should wait in line for an hour or more» good. We came here the night before and it was packed with a line extended around the parking. The next day we came during 2pm and it was about 50% capacity. We ordered the Galbi Jjim, which is pretty popular and representative for this joint. The flavor was balanced and the Galbi was tender and there was a good amount of it, the tteokbokki was perfectly cooked, soft chew, not the cheap powder type that breaks. The M portion is definitely enough for 2 people, but for $100? I didn’t really find the value here, then again, you don’t have 4 locations if you aren’t making a killing on the margin. I just don’t see any wow factor for the $100. Overall, it is just another overblown social media trap. But overall the food is pretty good.

Excellent restaurant for Korean soups and stews. The banchan are flavorful and addicting, especially the buchoo or chives kimchi. Reviewers complaining about price are ignorant of the extremely generous breakfast special? This restaurant has nourished me many times over the years with their breakfast special and complimentary hot tea. It feels generous and like the restaurant is giving back to the community. Service is great, though especially so from Jayden and Brian, whom I’m always glad to see during the day shifts. They’re always kind and patient and attentive, even when the restaurant is very busy as it is often. The soups themselves are flavorful and taste good quality. The tta roh guk bap is especially seasoned and delicious. The rice is always good too. This morning I got the traditional seolangtang whose calming plainness balances very well with the seasoned banchan.

2nd time here and got the same dish. It’s a bit rowdy inside, because it can get pretty busy. I’ve gone dinner time both times. Food is pretty fresh and tasty and the large option is definitely enough for at least 4-5 people. The flambé experience is fun and the cheese pull is peak.

Great place for hearty soups and delicous cuts of beef. Will definitely return to try out the cheesy galbi jjim (beef rib) hot plate. Service was really good, and the sides were fresh and had authentic korean flavors. Everything goes well with the purple rice, and the flavors are really clean.

We’ve been coming to Oz Korean BBQ for a couple of years now, and it’s consistently been a spot we enjoy. Their all-you-can-eat options are always a good choice, and we’ve never left disappointed. They recently updated their wings and added a soy garlic flavor, which is super delicious. We used to always go for the sweet chili wings, which are still really good too. The side dishes are very tasty, and everything comes out fresh. The service was good, and they were fairly fast with bringing out food. Also, the little server robot is super cute and a fun touch. One big plus is that you can join the waitlist through Yelp before you arrive, so you don’t have to check in at the door. It makes the process much easier, and they tend to move through the waitlist pretty quickly. Overall, always a solid experience and a place we keep coming back to.

We came after being reccomended Oz by a few family members and it did not disappoint. We got there on a Saturday night. It was very busy, but our party of 6 was seated in arbout 30 minutes. Our server, Marcus was awesome. Very attentive and came around with water, rice, and sauce refills often. All the meat was amazing quality. I would enjoy a bit more variety in sauce and seasonings (maybe a seasoned salt or garlic butter/garlic paste) , but that is my only suggestion. Everything else was awesome. Loved the variety, the galbi and sweet chili chicken wings were huge hits with the table.

The sides are delicious and really all the food was top notch 😋 my only complaint was the Robot 🤖 he is definitely cool but he could use a good cleaning and a wax not to say he was dirty but it’s definitely time for a new laminated note on the front of him informing people to not put dirty dishes on the robot and the charger plug door needs to be fixed and there was some damage to the LED on the back…..

What an amazing dining experience! 10/10! Food was exceptional, and the care and customer service was outstanding! I can’t say enough good things about this place !will definitely be returning 💕 thank you for making my nephews graduation celebration a memorable experience 💕

This was our first time. Food was great! Price is great! Portioning was great for the price. Jay was our server. He was so amazing and kind and attentive. Bryan the lead at the bar was such a hard worker with great hospitality as well as Jay. These 2 guys sure made an impression that is hard to beat. This place has beat the other Korean bbqs we have been to. Thank you soo much for a great experience. You will see us again.

I always enjoy my visits here. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive, which makes every experience pleasant. If you prefer a relaxed meal, coming earlier in the day is a great idea since it is quieter. In the evening it gets quite busy because it is so popular, so making a reservation is definitely recommended.

Our server, Marcus, was awesome. Food was super good and service was fast. I loved the quality of the meats and the fact that we could order wings as a part of the AYCE was a game changer. Loved it.

Bomb all you can eat korean bbq. The meats here are all really good. We got the #2 combo and it was more than enough for 6 people. We even took both steaks home it was that much. We celebrated a birthday and they pump up music when they bring you the desserts to celebrate. Overall a great experience.

I was looking for a yakiniku type of place, and this was the closest I could find that accepted 1 person. The atmosphere was loud due to lots of hard surfaces…I wore nouse-cancelling earbuds to keep it tolerable. The food was ok, they really should fire the cook. All joking aside, the ingredients seemed of decent quality, and a wide variety was present. The crunchy seaweed was oddly satisfying to eat, but I dont know why. I did not expect the ribeye to be full thickness. Often in this sort of place, they are sliced thinly, which better fits the style of cooking, and I would have preferred it to be thin. The beef tongue was really good though, and I highly recommend it. All in all, if I were to suggest changes, it would be to install some sort of sound absorbent materials in the building to tone the noise, and a wire cooking grill would have made it much better. Knowing the meat thickness ahead of time such as listing it on the menu would be helpful as well. My service was good, and the waiter professional and attentive. Kudos! Thank you for the meal!

Premium Meats were AMAZING, you will not be dissappointed! Short ribs, rib eye, filets, chuck tip- were my favs. Soooo good and very cool experience and atmosphere. Most Def coming back.

The food was good. All of the sides were as well. Best meats were the wagyu and brisket. Dylan and Jeremiah were awesome and are the best servers ever. They both deserve a raise 🙏

This is a great Korean BBQ spot. The meat was a good quality and they would bring us 5 meats at a time. The sides were unlimited. They brought us a new grill often. The atmosphere was trendy and open. We will see definitely be going back.

Huge portions served up with a friendly vibe sums up Quarters Korean BBQ. The bulgogi was delicious. The ribeye was flavorful. The brisket was disappointing, but the dipping sauce salvaged it. The sides were all on point. Overall, I recommend it but I don’t think it’s the best Korean BBQ in LA.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Quarters Korean BBQ offers a great ambiance and an overall enjoyable dining experience. The atmosphere is stylish and lively, making it a nice place to dine out. While the food and service are good, for a price point of $80+ per person, it didn’t fully feel like I got my money’s worth. I couldn’t quite pinpoint what was missing—perhaps a bit more variety in the dipping sauces or a more interactive grilling experience. Parking can also be challenging during evenings or weekends. Still, it’s a solid spot and worth trying, especially for the atmosphere.

Super high quality Korean BBQ. We had a short stay in LA and had to stop by. They had a little bit of a wait but it wasn’t a problem. They had enough seating to stand-by. Super tasty selection of meats, veggies, and sides. They came by periodically to cook, flip, and cut the meats. The provided three sauces to experiment with. Definitely one of the higher quality KBBQ experiences we’ve had.

This has become one of our go to spots for kbbq. Everything is delicious and I love that the servers cook the meat for you. Big fan of the combo option, you can’t go wrong with that. We did order the beef tartare last time, which was really bland, so maybe just stick with the bbq meats instead, which are excellent. My only other complaint is it’s really loud, so often hard to hear your date or friends. But the food is so delicious so I’ll def be back.

My friends and I went to Quarters Korean BBQ as walk-ins and had a very interesting and somewhat uncomfortable situation during our visit. However, the management handled it really well, and I truly appreciate that. A special shoutout to Lily at the front desk—she was absolutely amazing. She was kind, professional, and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole situation. She is the best, and honestly, I feel like I could be friends with her! Thank you, Lily, for making a difficult moment so much better.

This is the best kbbq in America and nothing else compares. I am Korean too and I’ve had a lot of KBBQ in Seoul and this compares with those spots as well. The meat here is top notch, the quality is amazing and even without getting the wagyu menu it still melts in your mouth. The service here is also phenomenal, the waiters cook everything here for you. Although the wait time can be long the line moves pretty fast and there is an outdoor bar in the waiting area so you can order drinks while you wait for your table which is also nice. Whenever I am in LA I always stop by here despite being out in South Bay.

I’ve been to Quarters Korean BBQ multiple times over the years, and I keep hoping it’ll improve. It hasn’t. The biggest issue is consistency. Every visit follows the same pattern: a 20 to 40 minute wait minimum, even with the constant turnover. Once seated, the service feels rushed and indifferent. It doesn’t feel like anyone is invested in the experience. As for the food, the quality of the meat just isn’t where it should be for Koreatown. The cuts lack the depth of flavor and marbling you expect at this price point. Compared to other KBBQ spots nearby, especially Parks BBQ or Mun, it’s not even close. The difference in meat quality is noticeable immediately. Quarters does have one thing going for it: the energy. The plaza vibe is lively, loud, and great if you’re looking to drink and hang out with a group. If your priority is atmosphere over food, you’ll probably enjoy it. But if you’re going for high-quality Korean BBQ, there are better options within walking distance. Parks delivers stronger meat quality, and Mun has both better service and a more refined overall experience. It feels like as Quarters has grown more popular, the focus has shifted away from the product itself. When there’s always a line out the door, quality control tends to slip. That’s what it feels like here.

This restaurant is best known for its meat dishes, but I came by during lunch to try their lunch combo and burger specials. Normally, when we come here for barbecue, it’s a serious commitment. The last time five of us ate here and really went all out on the meat, the bill was close to $1,000. This time, though, my friend and I stopped by for a lighter lunch. The cold noodles were delicious, and the meat was excellent as always. We also ordered dessert afterward. It was really good, but the price definitely made me do a double take—and it disappeared in just a few bites! The restaurant was packed, so it was quite noisy throughout the meal. Still, I can’t complain too much because the food was genuinely satisfying. Overall, despite the crowds and the premium prices, we had a very enjoyable meal and left in a good mood.

Famous Park’s BBQ. Great Korean bbq place. Went around 7:30pm and there was only about 2 parties in front. Parking on site is valet parking only. I didn’t know about this place before visiting. I guess it’s a famous restaurant. I see wall filled with famous celebrities’ photos taken with I assume the owner of the restaurant. Ordered meat combo, cold noodles, raw beef tartare, bean paste soup. Meat was of a great quality. Everything in general was delicious. Beef tartare maybe I won’t order next time. Not as flavourful as in Korea. Service was great. Our server cooked all the meat like Korea. Friendly and always smiling. I would come again. Thank you for the food.

This was my first time experiencing Korean bbq and they really set the bar high. We loved all of the side dishes as well! Definitely a fun place to go for a special occasion

Friends took us here for a birthday dinner — a party of eight. It was my first visit to Park’s BBQ, one of those highly hyped Koreatown institutions: packed dining room, long waiting line, clearly no shortage of customers. Let me start with the best part: the food was good. The meats and sides were generous, everything tasted good, and our check of around $500 for eight people struck me as very reasonable considering the amount and quality of meat we had. Would I go back? Absolutely not. A word about my ratings, because this probably matters here: By default, every restaurant has three stars. If it were less, I would not go in the first place. Everything above three needs to be earned. If I am pleasantly surprised, it is four stars. If I am willing to make a 30-minute detour at any time just to go there, it is five stars — and only then. So yes: good food, a clean environment and competent, friendly service are three-star territory for me. That’s the DEFAULT setting for me. They are what I expect when I choose to eat at a restaurant, not something I consider extraordinary. At Park’s, the service was friendly, but not particularly caring, and the entire evening felt rushed. The meats were presented at such a pace that it increasingly felt less like dinner and more like an exercise in getting the table turned. And apparently it worked. Our birthday dinner for eight was over in approximately 75 minutes. For a $500 dinner celebrating someone’s birthday, that is not remotely the experience I am looking for. Then there is the noise. I understand that Korean barbecue restaurants are lively. I am not expecting candlelight and whispered conversation. But this was something else entirely. It appeared that very little thought had been given to noise reduction. The restaurant was so loud that we could barely have a conversation with the person sitting directly opposite us. I was seated in the middle of our table and communicating with anyone toward either end was practically impossible. Again: there were eight of us, not twenty. And then there was the smell. When we left, we felt as though we had spent the evening working inside a burger-and-fries food truck. A nice birthday drink somewhere afterward was no longer particularly appealing. Straight home and into the shower was more realistic. And that leaves me genuinely puzzled: Park’s BBQ is hugely popular and, from everything I hear, has been for years. The restaurant was packed. People clearly love it. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable and the food is good. My wife and I actually spent much of our 30-minute drive home discussing why this place is so extraordinarily successful. Both of us simply have a hard time believing that all the alternatives are worse. Perhaps we just value different things in a restaurant experience. Because while the food itself was good, the combination of the rushed pacing, overwhelming noise and smoke-heavy environment made the entire evening surprisingly underwhelming for me. And even while writing this, I catch myself wondering whether I somehow need to apologize for giving such a popular restaurant only 2 out of 5 stars, simply because so many other people seem to love it. But that would defeat the purpose of a review. I can only rate the experience I actually had — not the rating everyone else has already decided the restaurant deserves.

For years we’ve dined at countless Korean BBQ restaurants across Los Angeles, and for some unknown reason, we somehow managed to skip Park’s BBQ — until now. Maybe it took a special occasion like my brother’s 60th birthday to finally make it happen, and now I’m kicking myself for not taking him here on his 50th! My wife and I aren’t experts in Korean cuisine, but after many years of dining — including some incredible meals in South Korea — we’re definitely more than casual fans. In our opinion, Park’s just edged out our long-time favorite, Genwa, as the best Korean BBQ in LA. What sets Park’s apart is the slightly elevated quality of both the meat and the vegetables. And if the measure of great food is how long it lingers in your mind after the meal, Park’s wins by a mile. The tofu soup had a deep, distinctive flavor with a stronger tofu presence. The steamed egg was thick, silky, and almost tofu-like in texture. Every cut of meat was tender with no aftertaste, and the banchan was flavorful yet surprisingly less salty — I didn’t experience the usual thirst that follows most KBBQ meals. Reservations? Absolutely essential. Don’t even think about walking in — at 5 p.m. the place was already full. We’re already planning our return visit, debating what to try next time. But one thing’s for sure: I’m ordering the grilled veggies wrapped in shiso leaf and pickled radish, topped with spicy kimchi — the perfect vegan bite in a meat lover’s paradise.

We were so excited for the re-open because we LOVED Blue House. Our friends would come at least once a month, it was our spot to go. We were even bummed when the re-open was postponed. Finally we get to go again, the food is still great but the service was terrible. It took an hour to get seated despite several empty tables. The first place we sat down had a dirty table, menu was dripping with liquid. They reseated us elsewhere at least but still had the dirty menus. The next section we sat in only had maybe 2-3 other parties in it (as I said, a lot of empty tables, despite a waiting area of about 20 guests). We would get our round of food, cook and eat it all, and then wait about 5-10 minutes before someone came to check on us for our next order to be put in. The whole ordeal took 3 hours (arrived at 6, left at 9pm) and we only ate 3 rounds. At that point we were tired and frustrated, and left without full belly. I’m hoping this was just a staffing issue, since I imagine they probably lost staff with the long break before re-opening… I wish they had just conducted more hiring while waiting if that was the case. Not sure if this will be our usual spot anymore.

Everything about this Hot Pot experience is wonderful. If you’re going, go with someone who has been before. Or at least if you’re new to the Hot Pot style cooking. Not only are you served by a lovely robot (servers are too, of course 😉 ), but the cuts of meat you get and the pricing per person is not bad at all given what you get. Atmosphere inside is lovely. Security is patrolling outside usually. Service is quick and accurate, from my experience. Lovely seating. And if you know how to cook, you’re solid. Definitely gotta go again for 38 bucks. (A little spendy but oh so worth it)

Super disappointed in this restaurant. It was the most expensive Korean bbq I’ve ever had, $36 to $109 a person and the selection was limited. The meat was ok but there are better and cheaper in the same area. My biggest issue is the literal trashy atmosphere. We dined with bussing carts right next to our table, at one point there were three! The plates are tiny, the furniture is extremely worn, the bathrooms are gross, and they have numerous signs telling you not to leave valuables in sight in your car. This makes the restaurant look bad and any reasonable person knows not to do this. Our server was a nice and accommodating, but the whole experience was poor and over priced. Here are pics of the trash next to our table and the tiny plates.

The meat was super fresh, tender, and flavorful, and the LA galbi was melt-in-your-mouth good. Honestly, it might even beat what you’d find in Korea! If you’re in Sacramento, this place is an absolute must-try. The staff are super friendly, and the restaurant is spacious and welcoming.

This is our fourth visit to this location. My husband and I always go to the Roseville location, but now that we moved to the Anatolia area, this one is closer, and brother in law visited us for the holiday and I didn’t feel like trying a different Korean BBQ place. (And he likes this place aslo) The server was super polite and friendly, I didn’t catch his name, but the guy with blonde hair was great! and the food was great. The prime short rib and black tiger shrimp are always fresh and delicious. Jumulluk was good, and I can’t forget the beef belly 😂. I didn’t take many photos because the lighting was a bit off, and we were super hungry – hadn’t eaten for almost 32 hours. We ate food like food fighters 😂😂

Came on New Year’s Day 2026 and we waited 30 min to be seated. Apparently several servers called off so we initially were being served by the manager. He took our drink orders and after bringing our drinks we didn’t see him again. After waiting for 15 min we were then handed off to Zay, our server. Under the circumstances he was very good. I have no complaints for Zay. I just wish the communication between the manager and him was better. As far as food, it was average at best. I do not like how dark it is in the restaurant. Also the vent system could be better. Too much smoke inside. The floors definitely were slippery due to the floating grease in the air. We came cause we had a gift card. I doubt we’ll be coming back.

We waited about an hour to be sat, it was very busy (that’s a good thing). The waiter did great; especially for such a busy night. I was apprehensive, because of the whole cook your meal at the table, 😆 but it was very good. We paid $32.99 per guest, they started us with four meats, 2 appetizers, plus salad and rice (you order for the table- not per guest). We had like 3-4 rounds of meat/appetizers. I don’t think you can take food home. Great place for a bday! In da club 🎶 by 50 was playing for all of the birthdays. It was smoky from the food being cooked at everyone’s table, but there are many fans. I would go again. Great experience overall. Yes- the floor can be slippery after cooking food at the table- be careful when you get up. Walk on the rugs.

We went today and we were treated so well by most of the staff we had a very nice server and the manager jonny was so sweet and on top of his game we had issues with our grill and he popped in and saved the day we didnt want to lose our table since it was in a good private area which we loved and he fixed the issue and we were able to enjoy our dinner in peace. You have to try the new boba drinks they are actually really good quality and delicious must try! 😋 The only bad thing I do wanna say is that the other manager I didnt catch his name but he might of been Latin tall and husky was kinda rude and really put a damper on our day he said he was going to charge us $5 extra each for not finishing our food we weren’t even done eating yet… that really caught us off I’ve been here so many times and never had anyone say or do that to us… His delivery and tone was very rude and inappropriate. We were all smiles having a great time and he just popped in with his negative presence and attitude to dampen our mood…. still wont let it ruin my experience since everything else was above standards.

Gen Korean BBQ in Fullerton is a MUST-VISIT spot! 🤩 We had an AMAZING experience and can’t wait to come back! The food was top-notch (loved the spicy pork belly!), but it was the service that really STEAL THE SHOW! Johnny, one of the managers, was INCREIBLE – super friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like part of the family! He shared some awesome stories about Gen and was happy to chat with us. We tried their new drinks and WOW – the Lychee Oolong tea was a GAME CHANGER and the Strawberry Milk was TO DIE FOR 🍵. Huge shoutout to Johnny for making our dinner so special! 5 stars isn’t enough – I’d give it 10 stars if I could. Can’t wait to be back!

Had a delicious Korean buffet BBQ here yesterday evening around 6pm. It was quite busy, and we waited about 15 minutes for a table for four. The meat was really top quality, and if you’re a meat lover, I definitely recommend this place!
