Baekjeong Los Angeles

This place is the best place to eat Korean BBQ. Real Authentic Korean Food!It's more than just a Korean BBQ spot, it's full on expericese. The services are amazing and the meat quality is off the hook!! The marbled brisket melts in your mouth and the atmosphere is amazing. It feels like I'm in my hometown.

Went in around around 10:30PM on a weekday. Brian helped us out and cooked our meat the entire meal. The Hodongs favorite combo was great and fulfilling for a party of two. Recommend for a good time in a chill environment while fulfilling your meat cravings.

The restaurant was surprisingly empty around lunch time but the food and service were great. I think you can order dinner menu items all day but they also have a lunch specific menu. Uploading a photo here since I couldn’t find that menu anywhere online.

This is the new Baekjeong location. I think this is a better location because of the nicer interior and better parking. The food is great since they offer premium cuts of meat and the service is excellent. They have extras here, like the ice cold radish kimchi noodles, that sets this place apart from other joints. I highly recommend this place.

I've been to Temple City Baekjeong multiple times, and it was always great. I wanted to try this location as soon as I found out they opened. Every meat and dish was as great as I expected, and we also loved how they decorated the restaurant, which gives us back in 90 s korean street vibe with all signs. Thanks to Eugene for cooking our pork belly perfectly and showing great hospitality. Not sure which location should I go next time lol. The restaurant is clean and the parking lot is big. I believe the valet was $5, which is affordable.

I ordered the beef + pork combo. They grilled the beef first, which was enjoyable and cooked nicely. However, the pork was a bit disappointing. The samgyeopsal lost too much moisture while cooking, making it dry, and the marinated pork ribs lacked depth — it was just a basic sweet galbi flavor and nothing more. We also ordered the “Yang Bap” (fried rice), but the diced radish kimchi inside was overly sour and didn’t balance well with the other ingredients. On a positive note, the interior was beautifully remodeled and had a clean, fancy atmosphere.

If you are not ready to service, just tell us you are closed and don't give us that attitude. TROY was the server who said we were okay to dine in at 10:30 pm but the food took forever to be served. Imagine that we have to throw away the cheese corn because it's burned in the first round. The light is up at midnight to kick us out when there are a couple of places that have not been cooked. Imagine how slow the service was even though we were the only table by that time. All the attitude by TROY has been thrown away to us when he needed just a tip but no service.

I used to like Baekjeong, so I was really looking forward to the new location in Koreatown, LA. But this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. I’m never going back. We ordered a set menu, but the meat had a bad smell — especially the marinated one, which had a sour, spoiled odor. The side dishes were disappointing and there was nothing worth eating among the side menu items either. Everything tasted terrible. So, so bad.

I tried the Lychee Green Tea mocktail and it was AMAZING!! Thank you to AUSTIN, our server, for recommending them, and also for the amazing service. Austin checked up on us the perfect amount of times, was friendly, and works fast :)

Came back after years of disappearance ! Me encanta aca Estaba riquísimo El ambiance también ! Gracias pero servicio fue ehhhh más o menos It was so busy I get it Pero food Rico Rico Rico

It was my first time at this location and we got the beef combo small. The service was great as the waiters were really attentive and friendly. They cooked the meat for us and it tasted so good! There were adequate side dishes and the corn cheese was my favorite. The interior is very spacious and clean too.

This is quarters and original owner of baekjeong at chapman plaza ...'not impressed with new location. Banchan was lacking meat quality was really bad/ disappointing.... (king chang much better) Purposely ordered small combo to order intestines combo however meat combo was so disappointing decided not to proceed further.. beef tartar was also disappointing .... Meh !! Overall not good!!! Dunno why the hype twas overhyped!! Head out to King Chang!' Better food quality service and everything!!!

Formerly in Chapman Plaza, now even more walkable for me, Baekjeong is in a new space in Koreatown right off of 8th Street. Now if you know Baekjeong, then you already know they are known for their exceptional customer service and meats. I went during opening week to the new location and t's all shiny & pretty with everything running very smoothly for a new location! I'm happy to report that this new location still live sup to the Baekjeong name's high quality. The Service at Baekjeong chain is known for being phenomenal and everyone at this new location has their signature smiles & screams as you enter. They are all so friendly and helpful, plus they do all the cooking for you. If you go with a combo like my friend and I did, you'll walk out at $150 for 2 with non-alcoholic drinks and tip. That's my only rough point of dining here against similar spots. In my very humble opinion, it should be a touch less here ($10ish) to be on par with similar KBBQs. However all the banchans are delicious, the meat is good quality, they do the corn cheese & egg around the grill which I always love. Baekjeyong actually sets the banchan out for you before you even sit, so dig right into the bean sprouts if you like! Love that about Baekjeong! They had cute non-alcoholic drinks of which we had the Lychee Green Tea and Mango Pineapple Sparkler at $6 each. We liked we could take them to go! Overall, Baekjeong is a great option in Koreatown in LA and I know I'll be back. It's a classic!

Baekjeong is always a solid choice for Korean BBQ, especially at this new location. The steamed egg and corn cheese are must-haves, and don't be shy about asking for refills! The staff is happy to bring more. Baekjeong is not AYCE - which I prefer. The meat is higher quality and you don't feel the need to stuff yourself. The service is consistently great, and the restaurant itself is spacious and clean, which makes for a comfortable dining experience even when it gets busy. There's an attached parking lot with valet, which is helpful because street parking is tough, especially in the evening. As for the food, the marinated meats tend to run a little on the sweeter side, so keep that in mind when ordering if you prefer a more savory or spicy flavor profile. One sleeper hit is the kimchi soup. It's only $13, but the portion is very generous and perfect for sharing with friends. Warm, comforting, and full of flavor.

Walked in on a weekday evening and was able to get seated right away. They have a good amount of menu items to choose from. We had a table for 2 and ordered the galbi, pork belly, and beef brisket. The servers were really nice and friendly and they help you cook the meat. The prices are fairly reasonable and a tiny bit on the splurge side. The meat was really good and fresh and they also cut the meat for you into nice little small pieces. The decor inside was nice too they have the neon signs and a feel like you're casually eating bbq in Korea. Definitely recommend this place if you're craving kbbq

Nice spacious bright location, well air conditioned and ventilated. The beef belly and the shirt rib are particularly good. The short rib is so nicely marbled and juicy! Great flavor. We asked for medium tree and we got it. So good we ordered it twice! We also tried the beef brisket and that had a good flavor, if you're looking for something more meaty than the belly. Some places the meat just tastes kind boring, but not here! Didn't even need salt or much dipping sauce or anything extra. Staff was really helpful and knowledgeable. We came in with some food allergies and they were very careful and proactive in taking care of us. They have their own parking lot just up Harvard. It was free when we came for lunch on a Thursday.

This is a new location in ktown. It's a much better spot than their previous location in Chapman Plaza. There is a huge parking spot in the back (if you get there before 5pm, you skip paying for valet service) The food was delicious! It's not an AYCE spot, but the meat selection was great. We ended up ordering Hodong's favorite combo (large), which was a good serving for four people. The guys cook the meat for you, so you can drink, chat, or even play Korean drinking games with friends. It has a pretty upbeat vibe. It's a fun place to enjoy kbbq with friends.

So happy baekjong opened again! This new location is so nice too. It's bigger, airier and feels like I'm in Korea. The food is as good as I remember it. We got brisket, pork jowl and short rib. They were all really tasty and tender. The steamed egg and lunch box rice are a must. They do have a new beef fried rice that's made in front of you and that was really yummy and satisfying. The chocolate cake was the perfect ending to an already gluttonous meal. Service was great! Will definitely be back!

This was really good quality Korean bbq with a nice assortment of sides. Friendly service and they perfectly grill the meat for you

Checked out the new Baekjeong in Koreatown and while there are definite improvements, there's still some fine-tuning needed for it to live up to the chain's usual high standards. Parking is a huge win here -- a major upgrade from the old Chapman Plaza location. Valet is $4 and easy to access, and the space inside is much larger, modern, and clean. The ambiance feels fresh and updated, which made for a great first impression. We ordered the large beef combo, and the meat quality was reliably solid -- just what you'd expect from Baekjeong: USDA Prime, well-marbled, and flavorful. Brisket was great -- cooked decently and on par with other locations. Not the absolute best I've had, but definitely in the "consistently good" category. Prime boneless short rib (unseasoned) was a highlight. Our server asked for our preferred doneness (we chose medium rare), and it was executed perfectly. The seasoned short rib, however, was a miss. Typically, this cut shines when cooked over the net grill to let the marinade caramelize just right over an open flame. Instead, it was cooked on the same grill as the brisket, which dulled the flavor and left it underwhelming compared to what I've had at other Baekjeong locations. It's a small detail, but an important one -- this dish deserves better execution. Another noticeable issue: a lack of grill changes. One of the things that usually sets Baekjeong apart is the attention to cleanliness and timing with fresh grills, and that standard felt a bit overlooked during this visit. Overall, this new location has a lot of potential (great space, solid meat, and good service) but execution fell short in a few key areas. Hopefully, with a bit more time and consistency, they'll iron things out and bring this location fully up to Baekjeong's usual standard. I will be coming back soon as Baekjeong has always been one of my go-to spots and I hope to see some of these tweaks worked out! I was stuck between giving this a 3 or 4 star rating but went ahead and gave it a bump for being a part of my favorite kbbq chain and at least having the potential to be really solid still.

Baekjeong in Ktown has finally re-opened in their new location! Previously in Chapman, Baekjeong has moved to 8th St., across from Pigya. There's limited street parking and $4 valet right behind the building. The inside is big and filled with tons of tables! Our server, Joseph, was really attentive and showed great customer service. He was constantly checking in on us and cooked the meat really well too. The meat was yummy but that's to be expected w Baekjeong. I got a lychee green tea which used Ten Rens tea leaves and tasted good (not too sweet at all). I can definitely see this place being the new hot Kbbq spot in ktown soon.

Great BBQ, not really crowded during lunch time on weekdays. So it's nice to have lunch with friends. The place is nice and so spacious! The portion is enough not too much. Will coming back again!

Glenn's the best!!!! he's so cool and he's so nice!! He was so friendly and made conversation with us and was just so good at grilling the meat! We love u Glenn!!!

This is a classic Korean barbecue spot and if you want decent quality and authentic food, this is your spot. Most Baekjeongs I've been to are fine but I'm not sure what happened this time. I'm thinking we just came on a bad day. I came here on a Wednesday evening for dinner and there was no wait but service was very slow. There were only 3 servers for the entire night and for perspective almost every table was taken. They cook the meat for you which is usually why I like going to a Baekjeong. We got a beef combo and every cut of ours was burnt. I asked for banchan refills multiple times and they never came. Our last cut, the short rib, was taken off the grill and put back on the same plate it came in when it was raw and I found that very questionable. I'm guessing the server just wanted it to pick up more of that marinade but I still think that was odd and just made sure to put it back on the grill so it would not cross contaminate. Very weird! Baekjeong is usually fine and don't let my review steer you away! They have good combo sets and overall great value. I'm sure they will hire more people since this location is still relatively new.

Like their other locations, great service and great meat selections. They use good quality meats and make sure to stay close so they don't accidentally overcook. The small sized combo we got was also worth it and the perfect size, the soup it comes with is flavorful and feels authentic. It does have pork in it as an FYI! My partner and I were surprised lol. The banchan was also good, definitely asked for more kimchi!!

Didn't know this place opened in a new location! Randomly drove by and decided to stop in. The place is super clean and everyone greets you when you come in. They help cook your food and make sure the meat is cooked to the proper temperature. The ventilation system is top notch! I love the interior! The place is super clean and all the cool neon signs really make for a great atmosphere. It's a little expensive, but that's pretty much on par for KBBQ these days. Seems like a cool place for a birthday party or just bringing a date to. Try it and enjoy! =]

Love it. The food the atmosphere- it was a great spot and always is. Everything was yummy and the service was top notch. A must to go back to and often

Food was amazing. Service was even better. You know you're in good hands if Troy is there.

We were so bummed when Baekjeong at Chapman Plaza closed down last year and have been making trips out to Buena Park to get our fix. Super happy that they opened their flagship LA location! It's pretty spacious with lots of seating. They'll be open until 2am soon which will be perfect for late night outing with friends. Pro-tip: order one of their combos and add a beef belly. So good!

The food always fantastic! We have been enjoying all these years visiting LA! The service staff is above & beyond, Luis , our waiter is a great guy! Definitely will be back in other time to visit again! Overall experience was highlight of our trips! The vibe is relax and chill!

The service was amazing! Thank you Austin! The Brisket from the combo menu was super good! Dongchimi Kooksoo was so so. Bibim Kooksoo was good.

Came here for a late dinner and the service here never disappoints! We ordered a meat set and we all enjoyed every single bit of food that was served and by the end of the meal we, our group of 4, was very stuffed despite ordering just one small set as the side dishes that were given was plenty enough to feed us really well. The place still gives a great night vibe with upbeat K-pop music playing throughout. Our server is very friendly and outgoing as well! As for the meat quality, I am unable to compare if the meat is best but I still think it tasted really good. For the set price and the amount of banchan given, it is a candidate for us returning.

Quality of the meat was good.Had the Beef combo package that came with the prime cut,Kimchee stew was spot on,along with the cheesy corn on the side.I expected the original in Chapman market for the green onion with the gochugaru side salad.Didn't taste the quite the same.But it will do.I believe Origins has the original recipe.Service was good and the set up was the outside streets of Korea with the street signs.Cute.Nostalgic experience.Greatedul to have Baekjeong back in Ktown.

Baekjeong KBBQ never disappoints! The meat was super tasty and cooked perfectly -- you can really taste the quality. I love that they give unlimited egg on the side (major win) and the soup they bring out at the end is so comforting and delicious. Also, their KBBQ sauce is chef's kiss -- one of my favorites out of all the spots I've been to. Definitely a go-to spot when you're craving some solid Korean BBQ!

Here for the third time. Still very good food. Brian took care of us. Still like the posters in the hallway

Solid Korean BBQ. Chris our Waiter was great and he cooked our food perfectly. Thank you Chris if your looking for Korean BBQ hit this place up

Had a great time. the food was excellent and lively with a great mix of music. Our server Austin was friendly, attentive, and really knew the menu. we also had the chance to briefly speak with the manager Isaac, who was welcoming. its great to see management engaged and making sure guests have a great experience.

This has become the #1 KBBQ spot in Ktown. Quality and service is unmatched! Side dishes are clean/fresh and the meat is top tier. Victor the manager always makes sure my friends and I have an incredible dinner.

Heard that Baekjong was back in town... so we had to check it out! First, it's shiny and new and clean! The interior set up is fun and nostalgic. After a loud welcome as if you were in the scene of Itaewon Class, we were seaterld where our server Young took care of us. Very attentive and responsive to our needs. Gio and manager Victor were also attentive and made sure we were good. Food was fresh and the meats were grilled to perfection. We'll be back soon!

The staff was super attentive and friendly, guiding us through the menu and making sure the grill was just right throughout the meal. We tried a variety of cuts--pork belly, short ribs, brisket --and every bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The banchan were fresh and plentiful, offering the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and tangy to go with all that rich, smoky meat. The parking situation at the new location is also a huge improvement from the old location's.

One of the best KBBQ in LA! Amazing food and service. Love this new location. Definitely coming back again.

If you are not ready to service, just tell us you are closed and don't give us that attitude. TROY was the server who said we were okay to dine in at 10:30 pm but the food took forever to be served. Imagine that we have to throw away the cheese corn because it's burned in the first round. The light is up at midnight to kick us out when there are a couple of places that have not been cooked. Imagine how slow the service was even though we were the only table by that time. All the attitude by TROY has been thrown away to us when he needed just a tip but no service.

So so happy Baekjeong is finally in k-town! The food was superb as always, and our waiter Young was so incredibly kind, attentive, and informative of all of the items on the menu. Will definitely be coming back soon :)

Our server was Austin! He was very welcoming and attentive. Honestly helped a lot with our order since it's been awhile at a Baekjeong... Glen also was a great back up when Austin was busy with other tables. I would definitely request their service if I could before being seated!

Had a great time at this new opening of Baekjeong!! It wasn't my first time at Baekjeong (ive been coming since before their rebrand) but WOW. The new aesthetics of this KTOWN location felt so immersive. I actually wish I got photos... One thing that stood out is the valet parking LOL THANK GODDDDDDD The food was spectacular as usual. Meats always well marinated, fresh, cooked well by the staff. KBBQ is nothing without a bottle of zero sugar soju -- the best combo to eat btw. My server was very attentive which is amazing cuz usually you get ignored at KBBQ restaurants hahaha Overall I had a great time with my girlfriend, eating a Hodong's Favorite Combo, and enjoyed bottles of sojuuuuuuuuuuu

Food quality seem the same. Love the interior more than previous location. Floors are greasy as hell the worst I've seen was gangnam station and it was same here like if they spilled greasy felt like I was on ice. I went in late close to closing but wasn't the last table to be seated but servers were so hectic. Here they cook the meat for you but they were cooking it so hectic I felt I was being rushed. Maybe the servers were understaffed? I wonder how it is when during rush hour..

Had a great dinner tonight, can't go wrong with the Beef Combo. Thank you to our server Steven for great service. I really appreciated that he was honest about menu items he hadn't tried & thorough answering our questions. Steven stayed attentive throughout the entire meal, refilling our banchans every time he went into the kitchen. We felt very taken care of. The only caveat was that our kimchi jjigae side came out after our meal because of a busy kitchen. To be fair, it is opening week & hopefully won't happen again. Highly recommend

Meat was good. Service was okay but it looked like they were inexperienced. I am a noodle lover. Tried the radish kimchi cold noodle by fall worst radish kimchi cold noodle I've had. As long as you don't order that I think you are safe.

Mayra and Victor were an amazing host! Mayra was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our KBBQ experience. Our server Brian always made sure our sides were refilled quickly and even asked how we wanted our meat to be cooked. The ambiance is amazing they played K-pop hits and it's a great place to catch up with people while you eat.

One of the worst service ever experienced. Came in for an early lunch on a Saturday and there were only 2 other tables seated so it was really empty. Once we ordered it took over 25 min for the first meat to come out (mind you the kimchi jjigae came out early and was cold by the time our meat came). The server never refilled our drinks or side dishes and during our second to last meat dish the fire had gone out and there were literally NO servers around. We saw them (there were only 2 servers) in the back kitchen just talking to each other for a good 15 min and was left with no fire on the grill and unable to even cook our own meat. We came in for a quick lunch for 2 and ended up being there for 1.5 hrs due to the extremely slow and absent service. This is def not like the old baejeong at chapman plaza and with so many other great KBBQ spots around ktown, i would skip the visit here.

Loved the vibe and decor at this location. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our dinner. Meats were fresh and apps were plentiful. Great for groups

Went in at 10:30pm and the server said they are still serving even all the chairs had been up on the table like they closed. Me and my friends ordered a big meal and it took a long time same as service mind from our Server "Troy" has double standards if comparing with his friends table who has drinking right next to us. Wrong item has been added to our bill and no receipt being show when we try to cash out. Worst experience ever.

Food was incredible, service was amazing, and the vibes were great. Austin was the best server you could ask for! Tried the new mango sparkler mocktail off of his recommendation and it was SUPER tasty!!

I've been coming here for 15 years or however, long it's been open. It's always amazing the way sucks, but you can kill time by going to the nearby bars and restaurants. It's worth it. Qualities is always good solid good ambience except I wouldn't mind if they turn down the music for like 10 dB.

big shoutout to marvin, leslie, luis, jeremy & victor for making this experience awesome. food. 100. ambiance. 100. service. 1000000. buena park was my og soot. this location is everything and then some. id keep these guys. im so full dawg. shoutout bj k town

First time at Baekjeong and it definitely lived up to the hype. We came with a group of four around 6:30pm on a Friday--waited about 25 minutes, which honestly wasn't too bad considering how packed it was. Pro tip: get your name on the list, then walk around the plaza or grab a quick snack nearby if you're starving. Service was super on point. The staff helped with grilling the meat and made sure everything was cooked just right. We got the combo set and added on the pork belly--everything was juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned. The banchan spread was solid and kept getting refilled without us even asking. What really stood out was how balanced everything felt. The meats were rich, but the sides (especially the steamed egg and corn cheese) made it feel like a full experience, not just meat overload. It's definitely a louder, high-energy spot, so maybe not the place for a quiet dinner--but if you're in the mood for great KBBQ and fun vibes, this place is hard to beat. We left full, happy, and smelling like grilled meat in the best way possible.

Just reopened recently. Such a cool looking place with the same great food as the one in Chapman Plaza. But I like this location much more. It's bigger, better and brighter. Go check it out before it gets too crazy busy.
