The 16 Best Korean Barbecue Restaurants In Los Angeles, Ranked - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This fancy KBBQ spot/steakhouse sits on the ground floor of the Beverly Center, and with giant booths and gleaming golden chandeliers, it has the look of a Vegas Strip ballroom. Expect smokeless grill tables where servers hover tableside, and cocktails topped with smoke-filled bubbles. Fancier cuts are aged in-house, like a giant tomahawk steak, displayed in a window near the entrance. And while the spread of housemade banchan here is solid, get the spicy kimchi fried rice or japchae to round out your meal. Come here for a glitzy meal with people who love top-shelf meat or an intimate dining experience with someone who appreciates being doted on by staff." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
