Fact: You or someone that you know loves Korean BBQ. Korean BBQ is known for the thinly sliced meat you cook yourself on a grill (electric, charcoal, stone, etc) and for the multitudes of banchan (side dishes) that come with it. Beef, pork, duck, chicken, seafood - grill em all! Feel adventurous? Try grilling kimchi or make some ssam (쌈) by wrapping the meat in some lettuce and topping it off with ssamjang (ssam sauce)! If you are in Los Angeles and are craving some KBBQ, check out these best Korean BBQ places in Los Angeles.

Kobawoo House

Kobawoo is more on the traditional side and the meat comes cooked. Great food options other than Korean BBQ with amazing banchan (side dishes) so if you are looking for good korean food other than BBQ, you need to check out Kobawoo House.
Kang Hodong Baekjeong
3465 W 6th St
Great meat quality, eggs and corn cooked with your meat, and great combo options. "Baekjeong" used to be places where working class Koreans did their dining in the 1800s so expect a low key environment
Park's BBQ
955 S Vermont Ave
Acclaimed as one of the best Korean BBQ places in Los Angeles. Their meat and banchan (side dishes) are top notch quality. A bit pricier than most KBBQ places but definitely worth it if you are craving quality meat.
Madang 621 Korean BBQ
621 S Western Ave
Along with Chosun Galbi, probably one of the more upscale Korean BBQ restaurants in Los Angeles. Great decor and quality banchan (side dishes). Madang is a Korean restuarant that serves Korean BBQ so they have more food options.
Chosun Galbee
3330 W Olympic Blvd
One of the most top quality and upscale Korean BBQ restaurants in Los Angeles. The meat quality is amazing and will melt in your mouth. A bit on the pricy side but your body will thank you for it. The wait staff wear traditional Korean so look for them!
Yang San Bak

Yang San Bak has probably the best Kimchi is the city so if you love grilling your kimchi with your meat, this is the place for you. They know that their kimchi is the best because the meat is cooked while surrounded by Kimchi soup! At the end of the meal, they cook rice on your grill for you. The rice, egg and remnants of meat juice combo? Pure heaven
Honey Pig

For a unique experience, visit the Honey Pig. In addition to the banchan (side dishes), their grills are made to cook not only meat but bean sprouts, kimchi, and more! Don't be food by the name - Honey Pig serves beef in addition to pork.
Gwang Yang Korean BBQ
3435 Wilshire Blvd
A new comer to the Korean BBQ scene in Los Angeles but quickly gaining a reputation as one of the best. Gwang Yang Korean BBQ is not only an extension of a great restaurant in Korea, but it also serves authentic "Gwang Yang" (regional area in Korea) bulgogi. It has a great environment and if you download their app, you can get free food!
Ssam Korean BBQ
1040 S Western Ave
If you are craving the Korean BBQ experience with excellent meat and want to avoid the crazy parking at Soowon or Parks, Ssam is your best option. "Ssam" in Korean is where you wrap the meat in lettuce or sesame leaf and true to it's name, Ssam offers a variety of fresh "ssam" vegetables. Great environment - you won't be dissapointed
Moodaepo II
AYCE
3014 W 7th St
Don't get confused with Moodapo - mind the 'II'. They have lots of different options for an AYCE joint but can get very loud (its a large place). Did you know that Moodaepo II first started the AYCE Korean BBQ?
