Food was average, felt like every dish was lacking in flavor. Marinated short ribs were good but could use a stronger marinade. Pork belly was thick cut and it ended up being really tough after grilling. Overall the grilled meats were chewy and I felt like I spent so much energy chewing my food. Beef shortribs soup was comforting but lacked flavor ie, diluted, we added salt/pepper and it was much better. Overall pleasant experience as the staff was really friendly and helpful, hope they improve on the quality of food and look forward to trying it out again next time. Oh and you definitely will smell like kbbq after your meal so be prepared to wash alllllllll your clothes/hair.

Good food. One serving of meat costs anywhere between $32~$60. Seemed to be good quality. I tried Short Rib Tomahawk ($56.00), Prime Boneless Short Rib ($42.00), and Prime Chuck Flap Tail ($38.00) and my favorite out of those three was the Prime Boneless Short Rib. I highly recommend. Also recommend getting a side of the Beef Brisket Cold Noodle ($16.00). Without drinks, price per person will be around $100.00.
0 star for parking. There is no private parking/valet parking dedicated to this restaurant. There is zero street parking on Kenmore Street because most of the apartment building on this street does not have private parking lot so street parking is filled with apartment residents living on this street. West 6th street is a BUSY street and parking is prohibited from 4-7pm. The parking garage next to the restaurant will charge you $15 when you enter and if you bring back your receipt, they will refund you $5. This pricing was on a weekday so I assume more expensive on weekends. Absolutely unacceptable.
Because of the parking nightmare, I will not be returning.

Really enjoyed their combo S (Bulgogi.) My party of 5 all enjoyed themselves- and we were not able to eat the whole thing. The quality of each meat was very high.
The vibe of the restaurant was great including the loud music. There was a nice interior decorating job of wooden lines and nice lighting as well

Didn't want to wait 2 hours to get into Quarters so we came here and it was actually pretty great! Don't expect an AYCE here but the meat selection and sides were great!

False advertising. I came here expecting grilling the meat by myself. It’s NOT indicated anywhere on the menu that the meat is served COOKED. Neither of the host nor the server informed us upon arrival/ordering.However our server did say it’s going to be self cooking eventually due to vent repair/installation after we pointed it out. So he KNOWS this is temporary but he didn’t say anything about it and let us ordered with the assumption of cooking ourselves. We pack the food right away and left, good thing the other staff MIN apologized on the server’s behalf and made this experience slightly better. Avoid this place if you wish to get the true kbbq experience or confirm whether the grill is working prior to ordering.

We went in for some Korean barbecue and this place looked pretty good. The set up and decor is pretty neat with warm and friendly staff. We took the recommended one, I guess the second one among the 3 recommended with a side of rice. The meat was well cooked and tasty. I really liked it. I did not however like the kimchi. There was something about the kimchi but everything else was very good.

We came here to try out first Korean BBQ restaurant and it was amazing! Our service was so nice and the food was delicious! It was a reasonable price for the amount of food we got. Our server Chul was so kind and helpful! Definitely recommend checking out if you're in the area.

Seating was spacious and rather quick. Hands-down one of the best restaurants I've had in LA. Great quality selections of meats. My favorite dish was the marinated short rib - flavorful sweet and juicy-- goes very well with white rice. It was so good that I ordered it again. When we ordered the second short rib, it didn't come for another 30 minutes, another server Alex came back to check on us and the food. He offered us a pitcher of beer on the house while we waited. Wasn't expecting that but shoutout to Alex and the staff for the great customer service.
FYI- unlike a typical Korean BBQ, you don't actually grill or cook the food- it comes out served on a sizzling hot plate and on a bed of onions.
