Tabletop Korean BBQ with premium meats, egg, and cheese
"On a street loaded with KBBQ, Baekjeong—which started opening locations in California in 2012—stands out as the most consistently good option. Apparently, the rest of the city agrees, because wait times at this restaurant can be horrendous. Either make a prepaid reservation (available for parties of six or more), or arrive early. Every table is outfitted with a tubular stainless steel vent that looks like a slightly intimidating probe, and you should expect loud music and a mostly-drunk crowd. All of the meat options are fantastic, and everything else—from the pork mandu and seafood pancake to the egg custard and cheesy corn—is just as great." - bryan kim, kenny yang, hannah albertine, matt tervooren
"Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong in Koreatown now has delivery or pickup available on Thursdays, Fridays, or Saturdays. You can pre-order through their website here. Also, they’re offering delivery to New Jersey and Queens for any order over $100." - hannah albertine
"Baekjeong is a popular Korean BBQ restaurant that is making a comeback to Koreatown, Los Angeles, with a new location scheduled to open on Eighth Street in late spring. The restaurant's design features vertical signage reminiscent of South Korean streets, and it promises an exciting dining experience with side-by-side booths and suction-style hoods. Baekjeong had previously planned a location switch with sister restaurant Ahgassi Gopchang, but eventually decided to stay put, while Baekjeong moved to its new Eighth Street venue." - Matthew Kang
"When you’re tired of going to restaurants and trying to guess the socially acceptable number of dishes to order, go to Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong and get one of the combos. The beef one comes with a few different cuts like short rib and ribeye, as well as a bunch of sides. This Korean barbecue place is a great spot for a fun group dinner, especially if it’s your birthday and you really want a server to come over to your table and wave around a big sparkler. Just be aware that it gets ridiculously busy, and they only take reservations for groups of six or more." - bryan kim
"Opening this fall a block away, Baekjeong Black will be a 300-seat restaurant focused on premium meats; when it opens at 49 W. 32nd Street (at Broadway) it will be the largest restaurant in Koreatown, according to Kwak." - Luke Fortney
