Baekjeong Temple City

I left this restaurant with mixed feelings. Before the pandemic, this place was always busy with huge crowds and long waits, but now there were only about 3-4 occupied tables during lunch. It was definitely more relaxing to eat with fewer people, and the food tasted fine. However, I didn't find the staff to be very friendly or attentive. I just wish the experience had been better.

Excellent place for Korean BBQ. If you're celebrating a special occasion and don't want to be turning short ribs, this place does all the heavy lifting for you. They do absolutely everything for you except eat. They bring water, and have all the salad and banchan there at the table before you sit down. The server came to introduce himself and lighted the grill. He started cooking our brisket and came back in a minute to turn it over. He took it off the hot plate when it was done, but we could eat it when it was still on the plate. I asked him when it was ready to eat. Next, he brought the New York steak or rib eye. He cooked it perfectly, asking how I wanted it cooked. Third, he cooked the marinated boneless short ribs. We asked for more salad, rice wrappers, and spicy tofu. All sides are all you can eat. I gave it 4 stars because it was pretty pricey and the 2 of us had enough food, but in regards to the beef, we could have eaten more. I was glad for the experience. But I can only do this on special occasions if you know what I mean.

I love this place, very good quality of beef and pork. We got boneless short rib and beef bally. Our server, Eugene, he is really friendly, he remembered us from second time we visited, and he cooked really well on the beef. He cooked the perfect beef! Best K BBQ in town.

The quality of meat and side dishes are great, if not excellent; however, our waiter Justin was terrible. He doesn't talk unless we asked.. When we asked him to refill sidedishes, he took the plates and never remembered what to refill. He managed to use the least effort in cooking for each table and burnt some of our meat. When he done cooking, he just ran to other table without telling us if the meat is ready to eat... The dinner costed hundred fifty something, and we feel the experience doesn't worth it.

Food is always a delight but what made my experience uncomfortable was the service. Our server maggie did not say anything or even introduce herself. She just began cooking the meats and it was awkward since no words were exchanged. She was busy between 4 tables so I understand that its hard to juggle the service enough as is. If only the many other servers could have assisted her and provided some personal attention towards these tables! Another server took over and maggie was off her shift, I assume? Our new server was a lot kinder and attentive, giving just the minimum to not make it awkward but better than nothing. Overall i think the food is great but service could be retrained on how to treat guests.

I don’t leave reviews but had such a good experience the will be my first review. My friend was craving kbbq so we decided to come here on a Saturday. Came with 4 adults and 4 kids. Came at the right time and got seated real quick. Linda the manager greeted us and brought us to our table we ordered 1 large and 1 small beef combo. Food was more than enough to feed the 8 of us. Meat was flavorful and drinks were good. Linda was very attentive and checked on us making sure we had everything we needed. Great place to go eat with friends and family.

Baekjeong Kbbq is an a-la-carte place. We got the beef combo. The small size was perfect for two of us. We also ordered the beef fried rice, which ended up being too much for two of us after the combo. We liked the lunch box as well. They prepared the beef and fried rice for us. There was a time when the worker was slow and didn't come to us for a while, but I understand that they needed to prepare meat for other tables as well.

I used to like Baekjeong a lot, it was one of my go-to when I was craving kbbq in the area. However unfortunately, the recent visit was a huge letdown. It was pretty empty around 4:30 pm on a Saturday. I was happy that we did not need to wait long, but now I kinda know why we did not have to wait long. Ok. Long story short, we had the Hodong’s favorite combo, and obviously it was not our favorite. The portions were way smaller than before, and I don’t know if it was the meat quality issue or the services. Most of our meat was overly cooked, even though we told our server that we would prefer our meat to be medium rare, and it was like medium well to well done. Not to mention, we felt extremely rushed to finish the entire meal (even we told them to slow down the cooking) I could not help but wondering if it was the same owner as before, the decor changed a bit, and everything was not as great as we remember. Aw well, there are definitely better options in the area, I could easily name a few. Overall, not a great experience. Would not recommend and return!

This is the second time that I came And was serviced by Tommy the training server Tommy was professional and polite Definitely I will come because of him Thanks Tommy

Huge compliments to Tommy for making our Korean BBQ experience truly exceptional. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcome and well taken care of. He was incredibly attentive -- adjusting the grill, helping us with the meat, and keeping everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed. His timing was perfect, and he was always one step ahead, refilling side dishes and drinks before we even had to ask. On top of that, the ambience of the restaurant was amazing -- warm lighting, clean and modern decor, and a relaxed yet vibrant vibe that made it perfect for hanging out with friends. Tommy's energy and professionalism matched the atmosphere perfectly. It really felt like he cared about creating a great experience for us. It's rare to find that combination of great service and great setting -- Tommy truly elevated the whole night.

This is a nice place, the food and the service is great, specially our server, Tommy, a chill dude with nice attitude.

I came to Baekjeong with friends to celebrate a birthday, and this visit stood out compared to other locations I have been to. David, the manager on duty, and our server, Eugene, went above and beyond to take care of us. We ordered several rounds of banchan (Korean side dishes), and the staff was very accommodating and generous in providing them. The food quality was, as always, superb, but what really made this experience different was the outstanding service. At other locations, I have noticed the service can sometimes be inconsistent, but at this Baekjeong, David, Eugene, and the entire team made sure we felt welcomed and well taken care of. Thank you for making our celebration such a great experience!

I've been to this location once before, and I am so glad I came back today! If you have followed my reviews, you would be able to pick up on the fact that I so deeply value customer service. The service here was amazing last time and was even better today! Tim was our server today and definitely made me a lifelong fan! He showed patience, kindness, and engagement as we took a while to figure out what we wanted to order. He answered all of our redundant, and perhaps annoying questions with clarity and a genuine smile. I am telling you, it is these types of employees that keep customers coming back! Yes, the food was exceptional. But, it is truly the experience that resonates with us customers. Tim, I will be back to eat more delicious food, simply on the basis of how welcoming an amazing you are! 5-STAR RATINGS!

You can't go wrong with Baekjeong! They grill for you, refill side dishes quickly, and will the food is good every single time. The ambiance is family friendly and pretty loud--they're always blasting music in there and it kind of feels like a club. If that's not an issue, it's a solid place to eat with family.

Opened before pandemic and still here! This always hits!! Order beef combo add side of pork! Always good service and best meats!

I stopped by for dinner tonight and just wanted to thank Tommy for providing an exceptional service for the table. He's attentive and friendly and made this experience enjoyable. Food quality is consistent and this time they offered macaroni salad, one of my favorite side dishes. Beef tartar is cold and refreshing. Always love coming to Baekjeong!

This lease is a solid 4 1/2. Unfortunately, we put it on the floor just because we can't do half, the staff was friendly enough. The only difficult part was the entryway. It wasn't clearly marked which door was best to enter from. We had an elderly person in our party, so it was difficult for them to navigate. Parking is something this restaurant can deal with, but, it would be nice to have better signage. We ordered a menu and a few extra dishes. A party of six I was able to get everything they wanted. Cold noodle dishes were nice. The spicy soup was great. Our kiddo enjoyed the steam day dish. We would come again, however, difficult part comes when it was time for us to ask for refills of side dishes. They are so popular and busy we do not fault them for that. Will try this place again soon.

My friend and I came here after a two hour long workout. After being extremely tired and hungry from exercise, we were craving Korean barbecue so we decided to come here. We came on a Tuesday afternoon around three and there was no wait - we were seated within five minutes of our arrival. We came on a day where it was over 90°. I very much appreciated that this restaurant had their AC on blast!! As soon as we sat down, everything was already set up for us - banchan, water, and sauces! Our waiter, Tim even brought out barley tea for us (from my own request). We decided to go for the small beef combo - all three cuts of meat were extremely fresh and tasty. Tim was so kind and attentive - he cooked all of our beef to perfection & was always checking in on us to make sure we were taken care of, and that we were fully stocked with the sides! The small beef combo does come with a lot of food -between my girlfriend and I, there were plenty of leftovers and enough to take home for a second meal! This is probably one of my favorite non-all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue options in the 626! Will definitely come again.

Came here with a party of 15 to celebrate a birthday on a Saturday evening. Note: If you want to bring a cake in, I'd recommend dropping it off a maximum of a couple of hours before your meal. I dropped a cake off around 12 PM, and the staff agreed to store it until the evening, but typically, they can only hold it for a couple of hours due to fridge space. Also, as far as parking, the lot can get a bit busy, as its shared with a variety of other eateries and businesses. They don't accept reservations; however, we showed up around 5pm and thankfully were able to get a long table near the restaurant entrance. Huge shoutout to our server Jeff who was very attentive and helpful amidst all the tables he was covering. We ordered a couple of the combos and all the meat was delicious! The servers cook the meat for you, and Jeff did a great job of ensuring the meat was consistently replenished. We enjoyed the soup and all of the banchan dishes as well. I'm growing to love a la carte kbbq places as it allows you to eat quality meat without leaving overly full. If you're craving yummy kbbq, I'd highly recommend paying a visit to Baekjong!

Shout out to Joey for great service! Love coming to Baekjeong for the quality of meat and the service (they cook for you!) Our server Joey was friendly, very attentive, and had perfect timing with cooking our courses. Would recommend the beef combo with the kimchi stew! The boneless short rib is my favorite-- so tender and flavorful. Come during off hours for no wait!

Wow. Just... wow where do I even start. Let's begin with the first protein of our Large beef set. SDIYBT (Start diggin in yo brisket, twin!) Tender, meaty, and a great balance between fat and muscle. Then came the short ribs (2 different types in a row, I don't even know the difference, to be honest). Very tender and well-marbled. But of course they saved the BEST for last. Marinated short rib fingers - smoky, sweet, savory, and cooked to perfection by our server. Perfectly medium, as requested, and with a satisfying char. Absolutely delicious. Unlimited refills on banchan and sides (steamed egg and corn cheese). Also, it was my birthday so our dinner came with a generous portion of hot gooey chocolate cake topped with whipped cream.

The location is easy to find, parking is also easy to find once you navigate through the structure. Its right by the teapot fountain. This is $$$ for two people. They personally cook the meat for you so you can enjoy all the other foods at your leisure. They give you plenty of side dishes to eat while you wait. We came late in the afternoon and it was quiet, not too many people. Staff is super friendly and gave us extra water because it was hot and we were thirsty. Their japchae (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was so delicious! And it was great as a leftover meal the next day! We got the marinated short ribs, brisket and non-marinated short ribs platter and a side of pork belly. We will come back, but not as often as we'd like due to the price, but loved our experience!

ALL our Korean friends said to go here. So on our latest trip to SoCal we did. There are many locations in the LA area and they all had stellar ratings so you know this chain has gotten something right. Family of 5 we ordered the large beef combo plus a small side order of pork belly, plus some ramen noodles and seaweed. We were stuffed. The meat was awesome. Very well marbled and juicy (so nice that the waitress expertly cooked everything for us). We started with the brisket, then the short rib, then the marinated short rib, followed by the pork belly. Brisket was very good but nothing special compared to other KBBQ places. Short rib. Wow this is why you come here. Marinated short rib. So juicy and flavorful. Pork belly. Thick cut and perfectly cooked. Best pork belly we've ever had. Their sides were also solid. It's a can't miss KBBQ experience. Also, there is a milk tea place right next door. Perfect place to hang out and wait for your table (and they use text message to let you knw

Tommy!! Thank you for the great service and dealing with my pregnant wife!! Meat was cooked Great! Glasses were always full! We appreciate you checking in on us! Again, thank you for taking care of us!!

I came to eat today, and the staff member named Tommy took care of us. The service was excellent, the food was fast and delicious. I come here regularly and will definitely come back often.

This is not your typical AYCE KBBQ spot BUT they do serve pretty high quality meat combo sets AND the server does all the grilling! Parking can be difficult especially on the weekends because it's located in a busy plaza but they have an underground parking garage. Service was very nice and attentive. Love that the servers do all the grilling! It can get pretty loud especially when it gets busy so it might be hard to communicate with one another. There are 10+ different combo sets to choose from. Expect to pay $83+ for each set. However, each one contains A LOT of food! Got the Combo S ($82.80) and it consisted of brisket, boneless short ribs, pork belly, and marinated pork steak. All the meats were very good quality and not too fatty. The brisket was my favorite, so flavorful and tender! This was 9/10 The banchans were very good and the corn cheese was the BEST! So cheesy and sweet! Would recommend and return

Waited an hour at the Temple City outpost of this SoCal KBBQ chain. Had been to the Irvine version before and knew this chain offered good quality meals. The three of us shared the small meat combo consisting of brisket, boneless Kalbi, pork belly, and marinated pork. We also shared their brisket, truffled fried rice.... More than enough for three and suitable for four. Ventilation was good with the powerful suction fan, music was hopping with modern KPOP tunes, service was good as they grill and cut the meat for you, you'll need to ask for sesame salt, more rice wrappers, more Banchan, etc.. parking can be a challenge in the large lot because of so many popular restaurants within this strip mall. Good place to take a family of four.

Their meat quality did change, not as good as their first opening quality but wasn't disappointing. Their spicy noodle though was very flavorless and.... Literally was not able to taste any flavor. Service was good.

Baekjong is easily the best KBBQ spot in the 626 area! Good quality meats with wonderful selections of complimentary & unlimited sides (corn cheese, steamed egg, kimchi, fish cakes, salad, cucumbers, rice paper, peppers). I like how the server cooks the meats for us and are very attentive to our requests. I ordered the Premium Seared Pork Belly and the Prime Beef Belly. Both were insanely good; the beef belly melts in your mouth and the pork belly slices were thick! I love how the dipping sauces/garlic salt & pepper pair so well with the meats. I was a little surprised that the beef belly came marinated as it wasn't stated specifically in the menu and I am personally not a fan of marinated meats. However, it still tasted pretty good! It's a pretty big establishment, but there is always a long wait. I came on a Friday night around 6:30PM and had to wait 35 minutes for a table of 2. There is a lot of parking within the plaza as well (free). Dining here is also on the pricier side.

We got the their small beef combo meal which feeds two - three people and we could not finish it with two people. Food: 4/5 The food was decent, but nothing too special. My favorite was their short rib and I really liked their banchan options, especially their kimchi and fish cakes. Their kimchi stew was pretty basic, good flavor but nothing outstanding. Price: 4/5 This place came out to around $30 per person between two people. Their meat is definitely a little higher quality than your average AYCE kbbq. But I would much rather get more variety at all you can eat. Service: 4/5 Our servers were wonderful and they were great to monitor our meats and help us cool. However, the wait for this place took too long. It was also a little disorganized, people who walked in after us got served before we did because there was no line or hostess. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is a really cool hangout spot that is pretty popping. It is lively inside and despite the delicious smelling Kbbq aroma, there is little smoke inside. One last note is to park in the parking lot underground. Parking in this plaza sucks.

The meat quality is so good here. We ordered a large Hodong's favorite combo and everything was excellent. I liked the fish cake banchan and Kim chi soup too. I also enjoyed the egg and corn cheese which were cooking immediately after we sat down. While we waited for the meat to come by we had some tasty sides to eat. Servers really did a great job at cooking the meat for us.

This is one of my favorite places for Korean BBQ! The quality of the meat, the flavors, and the overall experience keep me coming back. ::Food:: We always go for the Beef Combo, which comes with thinly sliced brisket, seasoned prime boneless short rib, prime boneless short rib, and prime beef brisket soybean paste stew. Every bite is so good, I could seriously eat it every day. The short ribs are packed with flavor, and I always ask for a mesh grill. I think it makes such a difference, giving the meat that perfect char and enhancing the taste. The soybean paste stew is rich and comforting. ::Customer Service:: Peter is amazing! He's super attentive, friendly, and always making sure we have everything we need. One thing I really appreciate is how he checks in to see how we like our meat. Even when it gets busy, he still takes the time to provide great service. ::M's Notes:: - Indoor seating - Parking lot available, but it fills up fast

Very disappointing experience due to poor service and unprofessional attitude from our server. In the middle of our meal, the server walked away and left our food unattended on the grill. We had to step in and cook it ourselves to prevent it from burning. When the server returned, they told us that if the food had burned, it wouldn't have been their responsibility. At no point were we informed whether the food would be cooked for us or if we were expected to do it ourselves. We also asked for a refill of the banchan during the meal, but it was never brought out. The lack of communication and inattentive service made the entire dining experience frustrating and disappointing.

Meat quality and portion sizes here are 10/10. All meat is cooked for you - great service. Pretty big inside with lots of parking underground. I really like their brisket and marinated meats.

Baekjeong has become a golden staple in the 626 for Korean BBQ. Located in the Camellia Square plaza, parking is ample in the lot and underground. I came during lunch time on a Friday with a friend right when they opened so there wasn't much of a line (although there usually is!) The restaurant at night does get very busy and noisy though so just prepare for that if you come for dinner! Going at lunch time was really fun, the restaurant wasn't as busy so the servers were able to serve and cook for us which we always enjoy. My friend and I got the Beef Combo (S) and shared it. The beef combo was a great amount for the two of us even though we were hungry. It came with all of the banchan and cheese corn as well! The meat was so tender and good as always and we had some Cass beer as well. The server was very attentive and continued to assist us in cooking and making sure we had enough banchan. He ever offered us another bottle of Cass on the house which we respectfully declined! Overall, it's always a good time at Baekjeong and would recommend it to anyone passing by or craving some KBBQ!

Good food, good service, good experience. I usually go to the one at the Chapman Plaza in Ktown but since my friend and I were close by, we decided to give it a try. , It's not AYCE, they do offer combos or a la carte. The price is about $40+ per person (if splitting) if you want to eat really well. I came here on a Monday night around 6 pm with my friend, and there were plenty of seats. However, by about 7, the place started to fill up! The staff is nice, they don't do unnecessary conversations and just do their work. Some people might find that unfriendly, since some Korean BBQ staff are friendly and talkative in a good way (which I have experienced as well). quantity We got the small beef combo, and it was actually a good qty for 2 people, and that was about $85-$90. You can do your own add-ons, like truffle rice, etc. I think this is a great way to try this place out if this is your first time. It's a good place for group dinners, dates or family gatherings! Calling ahead or creating a reservation (if applicable) is recommended.

I really enjoyed this place. Pricey but worth every penny. Can't put a price on quality and great service. The small beef combo packs a punch is you are 2 or 3 guest. 3 main beef dishes but remember you also get unlimited sides. Chow down on the free salads and the kimchi soup which by the way is delicious. The meat will be cooked by a server, so that's gives you time to focus on your dinner party. Sit back and enjoy experience.

Food portions are on the smaller side, definitely order more than you think you need. For two people, we got the small beef combo and it was barely enough. Although egg and corn cheese had complimentary refills, it wasn't that delicious. The egg tastes better in a stone pot and it's very difficult for it to cook evenly on the grill. The restaurant is very busy and I don't think it's worth it to wait to eat here.

My wife and I had a night off from the kids so we came here to eat. The food was great and the service was amazing. David, the Manager, was very nice and well mannered and the staffs were very attentive on helping us grill the food and make sure they are not burnt. Their smoke intake system made us felt not stuffed with smelly smoke on our face at all. The system was so strong that my wife and I were just amaze of the powerful suction. The manager recommended the seafood pancake and that was really awesome. I love the crispiness of the pancake. Our stomach were super satisfied after the meal. Thanks to David and his staff. Will certainly be back again.

We came on a weekday lunch so there was no wait. Our party of 2 ordered the small Hodong's Favorite Combo as we wanted both beef and pork. It came with beef brisket, boneless short rib, pork belly, and marinated pork steak for $74. The meat was good quality and the portion was the perfect amount for 2 people. There were a good variety of banchan such as fish cake, 2 different salads, 2 different types of kimchi, and more. The combo came with a choice of soybean or kimchi stew. We opted for the soybean and loved that it came with tofu, clams, and meat in it. The corn cheese and steamed egg on the side of the grill are always delicious, but make sure to eat them quickly or they start to burn halfway through the meal. Service was great as it was easy to flag a server down for everything we needed, and they cook all your meats for you. The restaurant is spacious and clean as well.

Came here at 7:30 on a Friday night, only a 40 minute wait. As soon as we sat down, the service was so quick. Multiple people waited on us besides our server Eugene who was very attentive as well. The manager David also stopped by our table to make sure everything was to our liking. We hardly had to ask for much, it was automatically brought out. Sides were always replenished and even a grill change. Would definetly reccomend this location. Everyone is so friendly.

High quality food, high quality service. Baekjeong makes my heart and stomach happy every single time. Whenever I crave KBBQ, Baekjeong is where I go. The meats are always fresh and delicious, the side dishes are delightful, and the same applies to just about everything else on Baekjeong's menu. I love how lively it is in the evening, and how chill and cozy it is during the day. It's a great spot to enjoy good food with friends and family. I also appreciate that it's open late for long nights out. There's another Baekjeong in K-Town that's also good, but the Temple City location has free parking that's way easier to find, and the wait times are usually pretty reasonable. The plaza does get busy though, so on busy days you might have to park in the underground structure.

Amazing BBQ. The sides were super good and the sauce they gave you for dipping was amazing. I also really like the little dish of sea salt and the steamed egg. I'm so used to AYCE places where you have to cook yourself but it was nice to have them cook for you and make the food perfect. We got the beef bundle and it was a good amount of food for 2 people.

Came in on a Thursday at 4pm, in time for their happy hour. Given the time of day and the smoky skies due to the wildfires during the time I went, there was no wait at all, but I believe typically there would be a long wait for a table. For 3 people, we ordered Hodong's Favorite Combo (Small), which came with brisket, boneless short rib, marinated pork steak, and pork belly. We ordered soybean stew with our combo. Since it was happy hour, we also ordered japchae and seafood pancake appetizers for 50% off. This was more than enough food for us to all be stuffed by the end of the meal. Meats were delicious and tender, and the dipping sauce paired so well with the meat and side dishes. The appetizers were also giant portions and tasty. The egg and corn cheese on the side of the grill cook pretty quickly, so would recommend nibbling on those earlier rather than later. This is a nicer KBBQ spot where the servers will cook the meats for you, so it was nice not having to worry about when things were ready to be eaten. Good spot to go with a group of people, and I'd come again.

I love Baekjeong!!!! They have the best meats, ambience and service. Brisket and beef are my fave. We came in for the seventeen promotion and Aiden was here for us. He kept bringing us all the banchan we wanted. Especially the cucumbers. Parking is easy, don't bother with the surface lot. Go straight down to the bottom lot.

Delicious and authentic Korean Barbecue. My bff from NYC is visiting so I suggested we go here for lunch today after 2 p ( I mentioned in my first review that it was crowded when I went and suggested anyone coming here for lunch go after 2 PM!) Guess what? It was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed their rice bowls ( spicy pork belly and short rib) and a seafood tofu soup. The service was wonderful, the ambience, terrific, and very comfortable and we had a blast! So. I did return ;)

I stopped today for lunch for party of 4. We were promptly welcomed in and sat at a table. We scanned the QR code for a menu and our wonderful waiter David helped us out. We ended up ordering a large beef combo with an extra short rib cut. Throughout the meal David was super attentive, refilling our drinks, our side dishes and a ton of egg and cheese corn request. Also the general manager Linda stop by and check in on our party. We had a great conversation regarding the food, location and great service from her team. It was probably one of the best experiences I had at this location in many years. I will continue to come back for sure. Once again thank you to David our server and huge thanks to Linda for the great hospitality.

Love that the service is super on point. They are quick to help you grill everything, no experience from the patron required. They don't rush you and they cook the meat very well. I would come back here again and not bring the kids so I can fully enjoy myself. We ordered the combos because it was just easier that way. So many sides!

Came here multiple times as I love coming here for kbbq! I love that they cook the meat for you! Meat is great quality and the sides are unlimited. I do think the kimchi/soy bean paste soup on the side can taste quite salty, but it seems like they have been improving its recipe as it wasn't as salty this time around.

Baekjeong is one of my favorite kbbq spots. It's not all you can eat, but you do get endless Bon chon and the meats come in a serving size that should be enough for two. The meats at Baekjeong are cut fresh to order, so you're not getting meat that's been sitting around for hours or even days. You can see the meat being cut fresh with every order behind glass windows. And the meat quality is always satisfying. Plus, the servers cook the meats for you at your table; typically at most kbbq you're cooking the meat. I recommend the skirt steak, btw. The service is excellent and you'll never feel ignored or wanting, as the staff is abundant and they all assist every customer. The ambiance is fun and can be a bit loud at times, but it's never felt obtrusive or like it's interfering. If you get there most nights after 6 PM you may have to wait for a table, but the wait shouldn't be too long. Parking is, more often than not, difficult. You can find a spot in the lot, but I tend to park on the south side of the street on Las Tunas. It's usually easy to park there. Also, the prices might be a touch more than most other kbbq spots, but it's worth it for the quality and service they offer. They also serve alcohol if that's your jam and they have larger tables to accommodate big groups. Overall, this place is worth your time and $.

This is our go-to spot for Korean BBQ. I've moved away from the all-you-can-eat scene and prefer quality over quantity. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is great.

I come to Baekjeong & always order the same things but their beef tar tar is ALWAYS a hit Their servers are also on top of their cooking game & make sure to be attentive to their guests

~ wait time and ambience ~ Depending when you go, it can be a long wait. I went during opening on a Sunday this time, and we were sat within 5 minutes. As for the interior, tables are small but the vibe is always good. The staff are so friendly. With the amount of tables they have to take care of all at once. I'm always amazed how they never burn our food and always help us positively :) ~ pricing and taste ~ Quite fair for what you get and the QUALITY! Usually get a large combo, and this time there was four of us. We were sooo full! Got their beef tar tar this time and it was a little too sweet for me, but still YUMMY! You also get all the bonchon, egg, and corn. The tofu soup was the right amount of spice and I usually can't handle spicy. I wish they would give more rice paper as each little plate only has like 5 sheets. I feel bad always having to ask for more frequently. ~ parking ~ It's free but can get a little hectic. This plaza tends to stay busy, even on weekdays. I suggest always going underground to save the hassle of upstairs.

Parking Free parking (check underground garage parking) Food Not AYCE. Good quality meat selection. Basic banchan options. Free bottomless hot tea. Service Solid service by the wait staff and best of all not too much smoke - best exhaust system Many locations in CA per their website - can't wait to visit again.

Another great experience all around! Came on a Friday later in the night this time so there was a wait but reasonable. The service is wonderful, they helped cooked everything and our bonchons were promptly refilled and drinks never empty. Our server asked us how we wanted our meats cooked and cooked it for us which is great for a kbbq place. He is attentive and made our kids happy. What we didn't know from last time was the cheese corn and egg cooked on the side of the grill were free to refill too! These were my kids favorite dishes so it was definitely a pleasant surprise. These meats were fresh and very nice cuts. Will be happy to come again and again whenever we crave kbbq.

Can never go wrong with Baekjeong! It's our go to for date nights or a nice family outing. Always the best service and food is delicious. Waits are never too long even when super busy. Most we've waited is probably around 40 minutes but that's always doable. We've been to the temple city and Irvine location, satisfied each time. We always get the small meat combos and it's just the right amount of food. One time we got a large meat combo for just us two cause we were super hungry and regretted our choices lol. Highly recommend!!

Baekjeong has always been the go to kbbq spot for me since it's nearby! Quality is great for its price point and it satisfies when I have the craving for kbbq. It can get crowded on the weekends but they have a very good system going. Walk up, put down your name and number and they text you when the table is almost ready. It's almost always less wait time than anticipated. What prompted me to finally come and leave a review was that we were greeted by the manager, David, during my recent visit. He was table touched and was very attentive, even though we already had two servers helping our party of 8 -- thank you, Vincent and Peter, for taking care of our family and ensuring that our meats were cooked to perfection. It's always a good time and will continue to be a staple of ours.
