Aghassi Gopchang Review - Koreatown - New York - The Infatuation

"Ahgassi Gopchang’s first location is in LA, and it’s BTS-approved. The second is in a bright bi-level space in Koreatown, with pink flowers on the walls and gas grills on every table. It’s a fun, slightly upscale spot for KBBQ, and perfect when you need two things: fantastic galbi and the intestinal cuts known as gopchang. Unlike many of its neighbors—Gopchang Story across the street, for example—it excels at both. Get one of the combos, starting around $90 for two people. Or, if you’re going a la carte, focus on the large intestine stuffed with melty fat and juicy short rib that forms a nice crust on the griddle. Skip the cheesy corn—it gets a little congealed—but do order some tangy kimchi jjigae and a bottle of soju for the table." - Bryan Kim

Kang Ho Dong Baek Jeong Review - Koreatown - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong is one of Koreatown’s most popular BBQ restaurants. While the meat and banchan are both very good, a meal here is a true test of patience as wait times fall in the two-hour range almost every day of the week. If you’re looking for a quintessential, rowdy BBQ atmosphere, Baekjeong's college student-filled space can’t be beat, but if you’re simply looking for great BBQ, there are other options in the area with half the wait." - Brant Cox

We had such an amazing time at Ahgassi Gopchang! We ordered the beef combo and everything was grilled to absolute perfection so flavorful and tender🙌🏽 It was also my first time trying steamed egg, and we were so pleasantly surprised, it was light, fluffy, and delicious! The stew was also super comforting and full of flavor. Huge shoutout to our server Sedrick; he was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. He really elevated the experience for us! If you’re looking for high-quality Korean BBQ in NYC with great service and expertly grilled meats, this is the place ✨✨

I visited this restaurant for the second time today, and once again, I was thoroughly impressed! The food is absolutely fantastic. However, today was extra special because I was on a diet and wasn’t planning on eating much. But our server went above and beyond to make my experience memorable. He kindly brought me a simple, yet perfect meal of salad, egg, and tofu, prepared without seasoning, so I had something to eat. Not only was he thoughtful, but his service was also exceptional! He was attentive, fun, and really supportive, making the experience even more enjoyable. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is, and I’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommend!

I went to this place for a late lunch, 2:20pm. It's a nice bright restaurant. We ordered the beef large intestines and offal stir fry. As always, lots of banchan. Everything was very good. I like a place that doesn't overcook vegetables. Theirs still had a nice crunch. They cooked the intestines for us on the grill. Nicely charred. A testament to good food is clean plates. The only thing remaining was some of the sauces. I would definitely return if I was in the area again.

The restaurant was spacious and has very good ventilation. The bbq smell didn’t stuck to my clothing. Service was excellent. They refilled the side dishes very promptly. Made good recommendations. We got the small beef combo with wagyu. The meat quality was excellent. We requested the waiter to cook the meat to medium instead of well done. If you don’t have a preference, the waiter will cook the meat to well done. So stated your preference. The wagyu was so tender and melted in the mouth. The combo was a good introduction to different cuts of meat. If you have a preference on the cuts of meat, don’t order the combo. The individual order of meat is more expensive but also a bigger portion compared to the combo. We had a great meal!

I came here with my girlfriend on a Saturday, and it was 120% booked. So, make sure to secure a reservation. Despite being busy, they allowed us to push back our reservation by 15 min after we called ahead and left a message. The food is pricey, but the quality is premium. The Marinated Beef Short Rib was delicious and tender, the Beef Large Intestine just melted in my mouth, and the drinks complemented the meal well. The servers cook for you, so we didn't have to worry about that. The service was good, but because it was so busy, our server neglected our grill for a bit and burned our large intestines. He promptly took it away and got it replaced. The manager was very apologetic. However, the overall experience was great. The interior is very clean and the vibes are good. I'll probably come back to try some of their combos.

Great service and delicious food. The meat was deliciously tender and unseasoned - which is perfect as too many times it is overly salty. Everyone gets a little bowl of salt to dip into if you like to add a bit of salt. All of the small side dishes were excellent. And they refilled as needed.

Great service! Great choices and the dishes were delicious. We had a lovely iftar party with the girls.. omg the EGG is amazing. Also the interior design is cool, you can actually hear each other talk, which is usually quite hard @ k bbq spots.

Best meal I had in 2025 so far! It’s even better than what I had in Seoul! The small intestine were really crispy and easy to chew, the big ones so fat and juicy. And the fried rice in the end completed the whole thing.

Very nice experience. The food and drinks were great. The staff was so nice and attentive. The ambiance was so beautiful with the flowers everywhere. I would definitely come back here.

Love that you can make a reservation. We booked for two and got one of the set menus with an additional seafood pancake. This was my sister's first time at kbbq as she was visiting from out of state and she loved it too. It was delish and too much food to finish. Sitting near the front door totally kept us from smelling like meat when we left.

Stacy T.

Yelp

Pretty spacious. You leave your stroller along the wall. Ban chan was great. At the time they had some tofu and I asked for some without spicy sauce. It was a very good choice for a toddler. The korean pancake was very crunchy and we liked it a lot. The jap chae was quite peppery. There were not many noodles. The waitress was very nice and gave us a steamed egg on the house since she noticed our tot. We got the marinated bone-in short rib, which was very tasty. All very tasty, but definitely quite pricey.

We came for a late lunch so before the busy dinner crowd! The place is nicely decorated and spacious. Since it was just 2 of us, we went for smaller portions with 2 stone pot bibimbap and added spicy pork belly with spicy sauce and egg. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. The spicy pork was brought to us cooked so we did not do any additional grilling. Since we didn't actually do any grilling at our table, we experienced slower service as in the waiter didn't check on us after we got our food. So we had to get creative with getting additional side dishes. Other than the slower service, we still enjoyed our time here and left very full.

We came on Mothers Day and we're not disappointed! Upon check in to our reservation, we were greatly warmly by the host Atsushi. He seems friendly and warmhearted. We ordered $145 set which is more expensive. But it was proven to be worth it. There was a person who cooked for us. He cooked everything to perfection. I highly recommend this place.

Yelp

I really enjoyed this little hole in the wall spot in Korea town. The meat quality and service was excellent. We left extremely full and satisfied. As Korean bbq connoisseurs lol we were very happy with the amount of food and all the banchan was so yummy. Only thing I would say is that I didn't love the way they served out water in these plastic jugs that just didn't look as clean as I would have liked but that's something that can be fixed easily! Overall I would come back!

Yelp

Signaled by the pleasantly colored purple exterior walls, you know you've found a delicious not so discrete kbbq spot. One of the best in the city. This place is visited by some celebs and its original location is in LA. We were seated in the second floor once our whole party arrived. The sides were already beautifully displayed on the table when we were seated. The food arrive quick and the service was efficient. Some of the best Korean bbq I've had in the city!

Ahgassi is definitely a godsend KBBQ restaurant that I think of when asked what is the best place for KBBQ. I've visited 3 times and would definitely recommend and go back. The aesthetic is up my alley with the pink and purple and the menu is just as cute. Ahgassi Combo - brisket, pork belly, pork collar, pork jowl. Pork collar was the best out of all the porks. We ended with the marinated short rib and it was the best. Beef Combo: brisket, skirt steak, marinated short rib Marinated short rib is still the best and wished they cooked it a bit longer. The marinated short rib is yum as always. It is number 1 in my heart. Also ordered Honey + garlic beef which is super chewy, it is not as good, the meat taste is still there after cooking. The japchae is oily and eh. Yuzu ice tea: sweet but very icy

I've been to the one in L.A. so I wanted to try this one too. I love how you can make a reservation on Resy. So much more convenient than waiting HOURS. They really pay attention to detail. The banchan was so fresh. Green salad was refreshing to start. Fish cake, sweet potato, spicy zucchini, soft tofu, white kimchi (my favorite as I hardly see this at KBBQ in Cali). Their meat quality was better than Baekjeong, my go to place in Rowland Heights. Steamed Egg, seafood pancake, and housemate Chives and pork steamed dumpling nicely seasoned, and so tasty. Nothing was overly salted and seasoned just right. The boneless short ribs, the marinade was just spot on. We ordered the Beef Combo not wanting anything too heavy, skipping the wagyu. Wow. Loved every bite. Our server, Ye Jin, was very efficient and came to cook our meat in a timely fashion, not rushing us at all. We ate so much and I had draft beer (Orion) which was refreshing and paired well with the meal. Definitely taking my kbbq experience to new levels after this dinner. Loved love loved! P.S. You can also find signatures of k idols downstairs near the entrance. Found Yoongi

Made a reservation, but came early since my friend and I were hungry. It's quite spacious (2 floors of tables), so I'm glad they were able to seat us early. We chose the Ahgassi combo and it was enough food for the both of us. Banchan was delicious and fresh. All the meats were prepared by the server and cooked to perfection (slightly crispy and for the marinated short rib, it was cooked to medium rare). We were so full that we didn't have room for dessert! Def coming back to try other items on the menu: it all looks delish.

Dom G.

Yelp

Really really good Koran bbq. Came here on a Monday night with a friend from out of town. I joined the Yelp wait list feature so by the time I arrived, the table was already ready. In saying this - it wasn't a busy night either. We were seated upstairs and we ordered the popular set combo of beef and pork. All were very tasty. Had to order rice as extra as it wasn't included. Also ordered a pitcher of their melon cocktail. All in, it was approx $100 per person which included tax and tip.

Joanne H.

Yelp

Just to start off, I had a higher expectation coming into this restaurant. So I was a little bit disappointed with my experience. Major red flag was that our banchan was not refilled and we kept on had to flag the waiter down and get them refilled. For the price point, I think it's the least they can do. Meat quality is there. But just a bit disappointed is all. It's a nice decorated restaurant. We arrived early, so did not need to wait for a table. It was a Sunday rainy day, restaurant gets packed by 6pm. But personally I would not return but thanks for the experience!

Yelp

Don't mind the pink decor- the restaurant is for all and food is very good. We got then large beef combo, rib eye, sweet corn appetizers, and the seafood pancake, plus several refills of banchan dishes. Staff is hospitable and attentive making our experience even more enjoyable. Everything was swift without feeling rushed, and simply perfect.

Ramyar J.

Great food, great service. Niande was an amazing server. Will certainly return again. The Large intestine was different, not my favorite but definitely worth the experience.

Came here on a weekday after work with a group of 6, and we were seated within 30 minutes. We got the Ahgassi combo, along with the steamed egg, yogurt soju cocktail, and seafood pancake. The seafood pancake and the marinated short rib were crowd favorites! Overall pretty solid spot!

Brendalynne F.

Yelp

WOW this Korean BBQ experience did not disappoint! I came here earlier this month with 3 other people. We booked a reservation and were seated promptly with the banchan already set up before we were seated - loved that! We ordered the large portion of the Ahgassi Combo (with soft tofu soup), fried dumplings, and cold buckwheat noodles and shared everything between the 4 of us. My highlight was the marinated short rib! I also ordered a Yuzu iced tea - flavorful but REALLY sweet. The staff was amazing and very diligent about refilling our banchans and water. The vents are adjustable over the grill so that the restaurant doesn't smell at all. I also love that they change out the kind of grill based on the kind of meat they're cooking for you! I'd totally come back here one day! Highly recommend it :)

Sarah N.

Yelp

We loved Baekjeong so when we heard it was closed for renovations we were so sad but then we found out Aghassi was the sister store! Us four shared a large Ahgassi Combo which was brisket, pork belly, pork collar, pork jowl and marinated short rib which also came with a steamed egg and soup choice (we chose soondubu). It was delicious and the banchan was also great. If you only can get one meat, definitely go for the marinated short rib, it's so tender and the marinade is so perfect. Service was extremely fast and super friendly. I think the owner or maybe the manager was there and it was really so nice to see how he greeted people, honestly I think it made everything taste better. He and the other servers would welcome people loudly and the service was super fast and attentive. The interior is decorated so pretty as well, it was really spacious and super welcome after all the cramped NY places we had been to. Loved it, would definitely go back!

Niande was our server and he was awesome! We got the pork and beef combo and I really loved it. Niande also suggested that we grill the sweet potato side dish and it was really good grilled!

Been seeing/hearing much of Ahgassi and was finally able to try it out, thank goodness we made reservations. Oddly, it's known for their Gopchang right? It's in its name but I feel they push the meats more than the offal. I saw most tables ordering the meats and not so much the intestines. The banchan was kind of lacking too. They gave a huge piece of sweet potato, you can't cut it with chopsticks and a spoon and since it's one big chunk, no one wants to work for it. The soybean stew was very salty. The salad was nice and refreshing. With that said, I feel they are just average on both ends. I didn't think the beef/pork or the intestines stood out. It's good overall, and I like they have both to offer (most ppl aren't intestine fans). I totally understand the Manhattan pricing, I didn't think the amount eaten was worth the value. Me, living in Flushing, would say that you get more bang for your buck in Flushing.

Sedrick was a phenomenal server! Very attentive The food was incredible and the service was outstanding- would definitely free here again!

Came here for a dear friends birthday dinner and the decor spoke to me immediately! It's pink and purple of course. The meat served was so fresh! We went for an early dinner at 5p and that was the perfect time Because the restaurant was not packed and we didn't have to rush. I definitely love going for kbqq with my girls.

Ron H.

Yelp

Continues to be my favorite choice for marinated kalbi. This is the only place I ask for me to be well done since the marinade preserves the moistness and more time on the grill caramelizes the sugar and makes the meat more tender. Really enjoy all of their banchan, in particular the mild creamy chili sauced tofu.

Lina L.

Yelp

My friend was hit with a craving for intestines (yes, you read that right), and somehow that led us to Ahgassi on a Wednesday night. I'd never been here before, but hey, YOLO, so why not make it memorable with a plate of intestines? We went for the small Modeum Combo ($89.99) for two. Now, as a person from Queens, I gotta say - portion-wise, it's definitely not the "grandma-made-enough-for-an-army" portions I'm used to. But this is Manhattan, so I guess we're paying a premium for the vibes and the digestive adventure. That said, we DID get pretty full! Between the intestines, the sides, and whatever magical sauce they brought out, it turned into a legit feast. My first time trying Korean intestine BBQ, and I have to say, I loved it! Highly recommend giving it a shot, especially with that sauce. Is it normal to want to take sauce shots? Asking for a friend... Ambiance? 10/10. This place has nailed the "I might just be cool enough for Manhattan" vibe.

Jin K.

Yelp

Eh, In a crowded Korean BBQ scene, Agassi Gopchang comes to us from Los Angeles. Its LA restaurant became especially famous when Jin of BTS revealed that it was his favorite Korean restaurant in LA. Unfortunately, the NY branch is only a shell of its original restaurant in LA. It appears that they only share the name and maybe some recipes for the gopchang, but otherwise is not good at all. First of all, pass on the regular non-gopchang meats. Quality was sub-par compared to other KBBQ places (i.e., Yoon Haeundae, Wonjo, Nubiani, etc.). I mean really low marbling, chewy, and funky, not so fresh smell. Gopchang is the way to go but honestly I found the sauces they put on it too sweet. It's like eating offal candy. Blah. Server was nice and she was trying her best, but they are way understaffed and therefore she was not able to provide the level of service she or we wanted. There is just too many good Korean BBQ joints in NYC to excuse this place. It's a pass for me.

Erika O.

Yelp

Came on a Wednesday night around 5:30. It definitely got packed as we ate so definitely make a reservation if you eat later! Loved the options of banchan the meal came with, everything was super good. We ordered the beef set, all the meat was good. They cook it here for you which is nice. The decor is super cute inside, they have an upstairs too so lots of seating. Service was great too, they came by often to cook our food. I will say for the meat you get, it is a bit pricey. I feel like I've had just as good meat for a bit cheaper. But otherwise great spot for some kbbq!

Ivy W.

Yelp

This is my favorite KBBQ spot in NYC! The food quality is excellent and service is even better. They cook the meat for you, which is nice. The best part in my opinion is definitely the side dishes they offer you (unlimited refills!) I usually get 3 or 4 refills of the tofu dish. The white kimchi they provide is also excellent and pairs well with the meats. Your order comes with a egg souffle as well. I personally really like the thinly sliced brisket and pork belly, but they are known for the gopchang (intestines), which is also pretty tasty. The restaurant is spacious, well-lit, and colorful. Highly recommend coming here!

Mike D.

Yelp

Great food, interesting format, terrible alcohol situation, hard to know what to order. 5/5 the short ribs, wow. Price was nice at $50 per person which included 20% tip 4/5 rest of the beef and the dumplings 3/5 good water service, tiny containers 2/5 some very weird food scattered around the bbq fire, some good, some hideous, no idea which is which. Tiny chopsticks 1/5 nearly every Asian restaurant is the same when it comes to beer, so I expect it. Hideous beer selection, not a single beer cracked 2.5 on untapped. Koreans in particular hate beer and it shows. Meh, I stuck to water and saved $$$

Absolutely fantastic k BBQ, would go again. Food was delicious, staff very friendly and helpful, the entire place had a great aesthetic. Recommend the beef and pork special combos! (Thanks for the recommendation, Jin!)

The meat quality is not good especially pork belly and pork jowl. It is the driest and toughest pork belly I have in my life time. The tofu soup that comes with combo is good though.

Great food and even greater service. We were seated promptly without a reservation around noon on a Saturday. We had the Modeum combo because I wanted to try both the small intestines and large intestines. The food was definitely fresh and yes they do cook it for you. I also like the variety of banchans and sauces.

Stephanie Y.

Yelp

Finally tried this spot in person!! So good but insanely filling and rich. You have to get their set to try the variety of all the intestines they have (small intestine is my fave!). Then at the end, you can ask them to do fried rice with the leftovers - this is game changing. So so good and makes for the best leftovers. Will be a very heavy meal if you get the rice but so yummy!! It's also just such a pretty restaurant, with the interior decorated in pink and staff are all friendly!

Ashley H.

Yelp

We came here as a party of three and got seats pretty quickly on a weekend. We ordered the beef combo which filled us up but the quality of the meats were pretty average. There are definitely better locations for KBBQ.

Priscilla C.

Yelp

Finally had a chance to try it here after all the hype! First off service and staff were great! Attentive & friendly. The interior is a bit too tight for me. The circular tables towards the window are the best seats, but then the rest if you're not on the sides you feel like you're literally sandwiched between 2 parties which I personally don't love. We ordered the ahgassi large combo and the meats that day did not taste that high quality for the price we are paying. It was just very average unfortunately. We also ordered a pancake and that was good! Banchans were yummy. The steamed egg was good too! The kimchi stew was a bit watery. Overall, just a little over average kbbq~

Sharon L.

Yelp

Saddened to see that Baekjeong is gone, but Ahgassi Gopchang provides a great KBBQ experience! As a party of 3, we came for a team dinner & had a great time! Reservations were relatively easy to get for a smaller party, but highly recommend looking in advance for parties larger than 6. They definitely fill up quickly towards peak dinner hours even on a Tuesday. We decided on the small Ahgassi Combo (brisket, pork belly, pork jowl, and marinated short rib), corn cheese, fried dumplings, and mul naengmyun. The combo came with kimchi stew & steamed egg. It was my coworkers first time having KBBQ, and this was the perfect place to be! Banchan here is plentiful and tasty. Interestingly, they had white kimchi instead of red kimchi. As for the meats, the brisket and marinated short ribs were my favorites. Both were so tender, and melted in your mouth. The pork belly and pork jowl were good as well, but it was a bit porky for my taste. Kimchi soup here is SO deeply savory, sour, and comes with a bit of a kick. Mul naengmyun portions are quite large here, but I did feel like the broth was more radishy than beefy. Service is super attentive, and we never felt rushed throughout the meal. Ventilation here is pretty good too - my hair & clothes didnt smell smoky after leaving the restaurant.

Shu Jin S.

Yelp

I came by on a very very cold winter day and we had to wait until our entire party was present before we could be seated. As I waited, I realized that they have a larger space upstairs for bigger parties (good to know for the future!) and everything smelled so good. I was also equally impressed with the ventilation system -- I didn't leave smelling like BBQ like I usually do. Big plus. As for the food, we got the steamed pork and chive dumplings (must order), the Korean pancake with squid and shrimp (excellent) and the Beef combo (S) since it was just the two of us. I really liked that the banchan was out when we sat down, and I loved the kimchi stew. The meat was also very delicious. All in all, I felt that this spot lived up to the hype and I'd happily dine here again.

Andrew C.

Yelp

stopped by on a spring monday nite with 2 friends for dinner .. made res on Resy .. was welcomed at the front desk; was active but wasn't super busy .. for 3 people, it was recommended we get the Large for any combo . we went with the Large beef combo ($150) with the Japanese Wagyu upgrade (+$30) so our total combo was 3 meats: brisket, short rib, japanese wagyu (4 pieces so wasn't worth it despite being good not great) .. we added the small intestine ($37) a la carte which was rich but too many pieces .. combo also came with soup (we went with the soft tofu - quite spicy) and steamed egg .. service is solid as banchan is filled quickly (favs for the banchan were the tofu and cucumbers) .. we also got a pitcher of kirin which was $30 .. in total, I thought the old Baekjong at this location was better. Also meal was quite pricey especially given the quality and smallish portion sizes. Too much competition in the area

Jessica Y.

Yelp

This was my first time having not-AYCE KBBQ and it was pretty good! The aesthetics and service definitely make this place stand out more so than the food imo. We were about 5 minutes late to our reservation and definitely felt the pressure, but the moment you sit down you can tell they're really trying to get people out. When you arrive at your table, the ban chan and everything is set up. Between the 3 of us we ordered: - Ahgassi combo (brisket, pork belly, pork collar or pork jowl, marinated short rib): We chose the pork jowl, which has more of a chewy/tough texture. All of the meats were very solid. Marinated short rib was definitely my favorite. It also came with a steamed egg (which I loved) and kimchi stew. - Flower-cut pork belly: Definitely on the fattier side if that's your thing. There was almost too much pork belly for me! - Yuzu iced tea: I'm not the biggest fan of iced tea but this was way better than I was expecting! A little on the sweeter side, but the presentation is very cute. This place is a little overhyped in my opinion. Food was pretty standard, but service was fantastic! They cook everything for you and really move things along.

It was a tuesday evening, couldn't find a table at other bbq restaurants where we were planning to go in the first place. This was the only place that had tables available. It was cute pink and purple filled with flowers. Their ceramic utensils were cute too. Service was fast and great. Food was amazing. We got ahgassi combo for 2 people and it was too much for us. We also saw korean singer Eric Nam there. So, i would say it a celebrity approved place. I would love to be back to try their gopchang.

Derek Z.

Yelp

All the meat was tender and juicy, especially the short rib. The meat was cooked just right so it held all the flavor. They gave a generous tableful of banchan which had fish cakes, pickled onion, steamed egg, and more. The service was so fast and efficient as well. The colorful interior is pretty unique and fun. I can't tell if this place is better than Baekjeong, the place that used to be there, but I understand the hype. It is less busy than Baekjeong used to be though.

MIranda M.

Yelp

It's a loud and bustling room. Fairly typical array of meats. The quality is quite good across the board. The side dishes were good but not that interesting. They brought us the cucumbers but we had to ask for the spicy kimchee- I guess because we were not Korean. I had a grapefruit citrusy cocktail but had to remind the waiter -- The Japchae was not great. It was a bit overcooked. The egg douffle was lovely. The kimchee stew was average. We liked our waiter who was friendly and aimed to please. The woman who came around to cut up some of the meat was a bit gruff. But overall we thought the high price and small portions were not a great value even though the food was very good quality.

Annie L.

Yelp

We were really excited to try this KBBQ spot from LA and it lived up to its expectations! From the moment you walk in, the interior is pleasantly intricate and beautiful. The restaurant is well ventilated so you don't smell the barbecue smoke. We ordered the Ahgassi Combo to share between three people and we were very content with the amount! It was a large portion of meat and could be shared among four people. The refillable banchans were all delicious and the staff were super diligent on refilling them so we barely had to ask because they were so attentive! They cook the meat for you too. Overall, this is definitely a delightful addition to Koreatown and if they can keep the quality at this level, I can see it remaining a popular place!

Eunseo C.

Yelp

The meat quality was pretty good, and banchans (side dishes) were solid too. I liked that there was a decent amount of meat in the stew. The ambiance was pretty good, but I'd say they could be more attentive with cleanliness as I saw a chili pepper powder with water pitcher (which is fine, but it could be better)

Justin T.

Yelp

Solid KBBQ. The service was good and the staff was attentive to our needs, refilling our banchan, and cooking our meat. We got the Ahgassi combo for our group of 5 as well as an order of cheese corn and spicy rice cake, which was more than enough food. The aesthetic of the store was cute, which was a plus. Overall it was a pretty good KBBQ experience, but it didn't "wow" me.

Thao C.

Yelp

OMG!!! The Flavor of the Gopchang is on point, so flavorful. All bancha dishes are very tasty. Service is attentive. I wish I live here so I can go here every weekend. I would recommend this restaurant for all tourist who want to try real authentic Korean BBQ & Gopchang

Bev N.

Yelp

The service here is what shines, the servers are attentive and work fast. They also did a good job grilling my meat. The meat quality is delicious and the unique banchan makes this place stand out. I would say it's a bit pricey compared to the other kbbq spots around k town. I would come back if I wanted to treat myself!

Linda D.

Yelp

Super busy! But service was quick and friendly. The ambience was bustling and casual. We ordered the beef combo and highly recommend it for the steak and boneless short rib. So soft and juicy! The banchan were good too! They seemed fresh! The soft tofu stew was a great accompaniment. The yogurt soju cocktail I ordered was so refreshing and tasty! I wanted a second one! But needed to refrain. I would come back!

Ahgassi Gopchang has been one of my go-to spots in both LA and NY. Food and staff are always great and banchan refills are generous. Walked in as a group of five on Tuesday around 8:30 pm and there was no wait. Ordered the large beef combo (serves 3-4) and added on another order of short rib and naengmyeon; normally probably would've ordered two more meats for five people, but we'd gone on a whim and some of us had eaten a late lunch. Shout out to Jake who overheard that it was our friend's birthday and surprised her with a bottle of soju at the end of the night :)

Great food, great service. Niande was an amazing server. Will certainly return again. The Large intestine was different, not my favorite but definitely worth the experience.

Niande was our server and he was awesome! We got the pork and beef combo and I really loved it. Niande also suggested that we grill the sweet potato side dish and it was really good grilled!

The meat quality is not good especially pork belly and pork jowl. It is the driest and toughest pork belly I have in my life time. The tofu soup that comes with combo is good though.
