4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: April 18 | Eater LA

"A popular Korean barbecue chain that’s been refreshing its banchan game in recent months, switching up salads and kimchi and replacing utilitarian metal bowls with colorful faux porcelain dishes that look plucked out of a quirky Korean mom-and-pop restaurant. The restaurant’s director of ops, Sam Kim, a longtime East Coast fine-dining veteran, has introduced plenty of new banchan options that will rotate through the seasons. At the center of the table, the trademark grill with an egg and corn-cheese moat remains, along with consistently top-notch meat quality cooking in the middle. The gyeran jjim, or steamed egg, “must cost the restaurant a pretty penny given the price of eggs right now, but it doesn’t cost any extra.” On a recent visit to the Torrance location, the thinly sliced brisket was tender and paired well with tangy, crunchy rounds of pickled Korean radish; later, aggressively marinated chunks of short rib were seared on the grill without a burn mark — an impressive feat given that table servers do most of the actual cooking. The chain will soon reopen a Koreatown location, and continues to be one of the most consistently excellent places for Korean barbecue." - Eater Staff

The 16 Best Restaurants in Torrance

"One of the most reliable BBQ spots in Koreatown has another location in Torrance, where you can plan a big group gathering in the neighborhood. Much like the crowded location on 6th Street, wait times at this location can go longer than Gone With The Wind. But their high-quality meat and pork combo platters make any wait worth it. It’s not the kind of loud place where celebrations rage until 2am, so expect to be seated near a large family or a laid-back birthday celebration while you go to town on some marinated short ribs and beef belly.

Baekjeong Review - Koreatown - New York - The Infatuation

"Note: As of early 2024, Baekjeong has closed but will be reopening in a new location. On a street loaded with KBBQ, Baekjeong—which started opening locations in California in 2012—stands out as the most consistently good option for tabletop grilled meats. Apparently, the rest of the city agrees, because wait times at this Koreatown restaurant can be horrendous. Either make a prepaid reservation (available for parties of six or more), or arrive early and find somewhere to hang until you’re seated. 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 mandoo and seafood pancake to the egg custard and cheesy corn—is just as great. " - Kenny Yang

Non marinated short ribs were my fave. So tender. Side dishes were all very good but the tofu was my fave. They cut it and cook it for you in Cali so that was nice. Soybean paste soup had a very good flavor. Pork was also very tender and very tasty. Never was a huge fan of corn with cheese so didn't care for that but that's my just me. One of my fave k bbq's in CA. They're busy enough that they don't take reservations so I recommend just going early for dinner then there's no wait. We went around 4:30pm and was seated right away.

The service is brilliant. Chris helped us cook and served us with amazing service. The meats were okay and the side dishes too. I think they were a bit ok the sweet side and it kind of merged the flavors together than being more distinctive sides and meats. Great price for what you get though.

We had an amazing experience at Baekjong, thanks to our server Ashley! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Ashley explained the menu so well, gave great recommendations, and checked in just the right amount. Her positive energy made the whole dining experience even better. The food was delicious, but Ashley’s service truly made the night memorable. Highly recommend asking for her when you visit!

The place has a good atmosphere, good food, and great service. A team member named Isabella made sure that we were taken care of. We also did not smell like smoke so the place’s ventilation’s good as well!

This is a restaurant where you can enjoy food comfortably. The environment is clean and the exhaust system is very good. There is no strong BBQ smell . The staff will grill the meat for the guests without bothering us. The quality of beef is also very high.

One of the best Korean BBQ you can get in Torrance! I always come back to get KBBQ here. Food is awesome, Braelyn and JP is amazing and, price is great. Definitely worth your visit.

Came here for dinner and had such a great time! The food was -- super fresh meat, tons of banchan, and everything grilled up perfectly. But the real MVPs were Jeremy and Braelyn. Jeremy was super chill and helpful with recommendations, and Braelyn made sure we always had what we needed without even asking. You can tell they actually care and love what they do. Definitely coming back -- food was awesome, and the service made it even better. Shoutout to Jeremy and Braelyn for making the night!

Had dinner at Baekjeong and it definitely lived up to the hype. The meat was super high quality, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. Loved the corn cheese and egg around the grill It's loud and busy, but in a good, lively way. Our server Jeremy made sure that we enjoyed our time and cooked our meat to our preferences. Braelyn also came by and ensured that their service is top quality. Would definitely come back with friends.

We were seated very quickly, and informed of our different options to order. Once we decided on a combo, the meats came out quickly. Nikolai was very attentive and quick with preparing our food. He always anticipated our needs and didn't let anything burn. Much appreciated! Thank you for the great meal!

My family and I went for a weekend lunch at Baekjeong, and we had a great time. A big shout out to Ashley and Dana for their wonderful, attentive service. They were so kind, brought everything we asked/needed in a timely manner, and was really helpful when we had to decide where to sit with a baby and a stroller. For meat, we had the large beef combo, an order of pork belly, and an order of marinated beef ribs (kalbi). I personally prefer their beef selection over pork, and the beef combo was a good deal to feed a family. We also ordered the seafood pancake for appetizer, and the portion size was large and the crispiness of the shredded potato on the bottom was delicious.

Obsessed with this place! We've been coming here since my first son was born and it's a family favorite! The food and the hospitality is top tier! We're big KBBQ fanatics and this is hands down our favorite spot! The brisket sauce is delicious! And I HAVE to get my hands on that kimchi recipe bc it's my absolute favorite! We get a small beef combo and it's enough for 3 of us to eat a good amount! The manager, Mei, came by to check in and was so sweet! Dining with two kids is always a little nerve wracking but she made sure our food was ready fast so our son wouldn't get fussy waiting. I've seen a lot of restaurants where managers hide in their offices but Mei was out there making sure every table felt taken care of and that her team had the support they needed!

My friends and I came to Baekjeong around 6:30 on a Friday night and, to our surprise, we were seated right away even without a reservation. I've been here multiple times, and I'd choose Baekjeong over an all-you-can-eat any day--the quality of both the food and service always stands out. We ordered our usual: the large beef combo with ribeye, plus a seafood pancake. The ribeye was a first for me, and it did not disappoint--perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. The rest of the meats were just as delicious. Special shout-out to JP and Nathan, who were so attentive at the grill and made sure everything was cooked just right without a single piece burning. Overall, Baekjeong continues to be a go-to spot for me. Every visit feels consistent, enjoyable, and worth coming back for.

I came in to try their lunch special and went with the Bulgogi combo. It came with banchan and a choice of either Soybean or Kimchi Soup; I chose the Kimchi Soup. The Bulgogi was cooked for me, which I appreciated, but it wasn't as flavorful or juicy as I expected. It might have been overcooked, as it was a bit dry. Definitely had better bulgogi elsewhere. The banchan was solid overall--most of the side dishes were tasty, though the macaroni salad was a bit plain. The Kimchi Soup was the highlight; it had a great depth of flavor, but the pork it came with was pretty fatty. Service was friendly and attentive. I was seated right away, and they checked in on me periodically, even providing a jug of water so I didn't run out. They have other menu items I'd be interested in trying, but for the price, I don't think I'd order the Bulgogi combo again.

Baekjeong never disappoints! One of my favorite KBBQ restaurants when I'm willing to splurge. It's definitely on the pricier side and not AYCE, but I promise you'll leave feeling more than satisfied with your decision to dine here. The meat is such high quality, and the atmosphere is lively and fun. The servers help cook the food for you, and the pacing is perfect -- you never feel rushed or overwhelmed. It's a great spot to hang out with friends and catch up over some seriously delicious food. I've been coming here for years and will continue to come back as a regular. Always a 10/10 -- do yourself a favor and eat here!

My friend took me out to eat here this week. It's one of my favorite restaurants, but I also missed it so much when the ktown location closed (but luckily they reopened again recently). Whenever anyone used to ask me for a Korean bbq recommendation, I used to say there's nowhere else worth going than to the original Baekjeong, but when they closed, things were a bit grim for a while until Pigya opened up. While Pigya quickly became my absolute favorite Korean bbq restaurant in the absence of a local Baekjeong, it still is right up there at the top. Like the margins between the two restaurants is a matter of inches. For Torrance, however, I would say this is the best Korean bbq restaurant you will find in the area. We got the marinated combo, which I never had before. While I'm not normally a fan of bulgogi, I was actually impressed by it. And then even more so by the pork bulgogi. They cook those two items in the back. For the meats they cook at the table, they had an amazing prime beef belly that just goes so well with the sauce they have. Next to last, the Seasoned Prime Boneless Short Rib came out, which has the perfect seasoning. Then the marinated pork collar it ended with was just ok. I'm happy with my meal and so glad I could enjoy a favorite restaurant I've gone to for years. The service was super attentive, they cook for you and the ambiance is nice due to how much space the venue has. A perfect place to go to in Torrance for sure!

My sister and I went here for a Seventeen collab and it was our first time. This restaurant is very spacious which made it easy to get to tables and have the servers be very attentive to each one. We ordered from the special collab menu and got the brisket, pork belly, and hanger steak. Our server JP definitely took care of us and cooked the food to great quality. I was so amazed by the quality of the brisket here and was tel enjoying each bite. My sister who doesn't usually like pork belly said that this was her favorite dish here. The collab was such a fun way for us to try this new place! We're definitely coming back!

Great spot for friends, soju, and good meat Because it's not AYCE, you really get to sit back and relax as you let them grill quality meats perfectly. Not only was the volume of music appropriate for decent convo, the pace and friendliness of staff makes this place a W for the area. The beef package gives you egg and corn cheese on the side, as well as a soup. For a group of four we were thoroughly full by the end of the meal. I recommend the soybean paste.

Great Korean BBQ! Very filling. They give unlimited and tons of side dishes, fried egg, and cheese corn. The meat is delicious and they cook it for you which is extremely helpful. I recommend the bean stew over the kimchi stew. They are very popular, but have tons of seating so the waits aren't bad. Highly recommend for high end KBBQ!

Went here on a Wednesday and the wait was only 20 mins! Been to other locations of Baekjeong before but this one has the best service ever!! For the first time I didn't feel like anyone was rushing me by cooking the meats too fast and I really appreciated that. As always, the meats are top tier too and just the perfect portions!

Lorna K.

Yelp
This is the best KBBQ. It is rather mediocre in my opinion as I have had much better quality and selections at their long time competitor in Gardena. Food is okay, service okay, quality is fair, ambiance is not to my liking. Seating has you almost attached to the next customer. They are arranged way too close for privacy. I will not be back to this place.

Jinkyoung L.

Yelp
The food was terrible for the price. Side dishes was all dried and rice was instant rice, I think. The worst part is the restroom. The restroom had such a strong and unpleasant odor. I think the owner have never used the restroom. This restaurant has a lot of room for improvement.

The best korean bbq I've had in SoCal! All of the sides are tasty and fresh. I loved the egg, corn, kimchi and all of the veggies. We got a large and small beef combo which was the perfect amount for 7 people. All of the meat was high quality, tender and flavourful. I really enjoyed the kimchi stew that came with the combo too! The service and cooking was excellent. The interior and dining experience reminded me of Korea! I can't wait to go back.

A solid showing for the popular Korean chain restaurant located in Torrance. We went with the classic small beef combo. The brisket was just alright, but the other beef cuts were excellent and supremely tender and tasty. The service was quick and efficient. The price is well justified given the quality of the food, and although I prefer the ambiance of the other locations slightly more, this is purely a personal preference. A great stop for some high quality non-ayce korean BBQ!

I have a big family, and I wanted to celebrate my birthday with them at Baekjeong since they love eating here. Because we were a party of 10, I wanted to make a reservation. When I called to make a reservation, a staff member named Abby advised me that the restaurant doesn't take reservations. However, she suggested that we come right at opening time, which was what we ended up doing. We were seated right away by Ashley with our banchans and condiments already set on the table. In addition, a high chair was already provided for my toddler. We ordered the Beef Combo and the Hodong's Favorite Combo. I highly recommend the marinated pork steak. Leo and Ashley were very attentive towards me and my family. They were very nice, had great smiles, and overall made my birthday celebration very smooth and memorable.

I wanna take the time out to thank all the servers because we go there often to know everyone and I'm sure everyone knows us lol but I wanna thank Nathan for making our night special. He went above and beyond for us tonight and I couldn't thank him more. After a long work week we decided this was dinner tonight , and it was AMAZING !! Thank you again Baekjong for making us feel special everytime we are there !

So I finally get to try this place. I've been wanting to see what all the hype is or is it legit with the quality of their food. The sides were great. The cuts of the meat was melt in your mouth delicious. We only had to wait for 15 minutes in comparison to the long wait I have heard about in their other locations such as the one in the Bay Area. I feel bad (I forgot his name, Nathan/ Ethan) helped cooked the various meats for us. He was pleasant and attentive. He made sure to ask how we wanted the food cooked. He even gave us a refill of the cheesy corn. Thanks for the great service and food for our first New Year's in Torrance. We enjoyed our meal and our stomaches are full.

This Korean BBQ? A little different--my kind of different. They cook it for you. No surprises there, just damn good. The banchan? Outrageously generous. Soup? Like a warm hug from someone who actually gives a damn. The meat? Fire. Word is, even BTS digs this place. Go.

This place was amazing. Glad our first time at this restaurant was during a slower evening rush because our service was incredible. Service: JP, Abby, and Andrew were so helpful and kind. There was another woman there with colorful hair whose name I didn't get but she really sweet and knew the menu so well. She explained the items in front of me since it was my second time at a KBBQ spot and I wasn't as familiar with the food as my guy was. Super cool, and judgment free, thank you. :) Food: JP was our cook and the food was cooked PERFECTLY. Ever pay $60 a person at a place only for your homie to burn it? Haha I have. This place was great because they cook it for you, right there at the table and it's included with your combo price! The meats were marinated so well and the egg and cheese on the side were so complimentary to the rest of our food. Abby stepped in a few times and they kind of tag teamed it to make sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Overall I loved it. The place was really clean and the people were great. They have happy hour and we were able to get HH soju before our meal was over! We'll be back!

Got the L combo for 3 people and it was the perfect size. Meat was good quality- staff cooks for you. Tons of free sides, which were all delicious! (The egg and corn cheese are free refills too) Their table fans(?) work really well-- I always expect to smell like meat after Korean BBQ but I didn't really smell afterwards! Impressive.

Got the beef and pork combo today, with the beef tartare bibimbap. Like, eight-plus staff, but only seven tables or less when we were there. They just walked around, never took our order until the grill was totally scorched and stank. The brisket was super lean and dry. Other meats were good/okay, except the brisket was awful. Seriously almost like Furusato on Western in Gardena. Furusato's usually not bad for the price, though. Tthat Yukhwe bibimbap was way too watery. I recommend everyone to skip the radish, bean sprouts, and maybe the green onions. It'll be less watery and taste more like real beef tartare bibimbap. It's a cool place to hang with friends, especially if you're craving meat and sides. It's chill and the staff are nice, but ordering takes forever. Honestly, I probably won't go back to this one. There are tons of Baekjeongs around, so I'd rather try a different location for better quality. Just to add, I went 3 more times previously and this is my last visit with leaving a final review.

First time at this place after wanting to try for sometime. Lets just say the meats are one if the most tender ones ive tried. We loved the options with the meaty combo se chose for about $72 which isnt bad for two people. It also comes with kimchi stew. I recommend coming here if you are in the mood for some good korean bbq. I will come back again and maybe try another combo.

I haven't been to this location and wow what great service!! First off , we barely had to wait since I came here on a Monday night for a party of 3. Secondly, our server Vincent was fantastic, he cooked the food for us and was nice with light conversation and he was on top of getting anything we needed! I haven't been to Baekjeong in a minute and this made me remember why I like them so much. The quality of meat and service here are top notch and worth every penny, can't wait to come back! MEATS: Pork Jowl - oh yeah a must Beef Combo -Large: brisket, short rib, rib eye Beef Gopchang Combo (intestines$ STEWS: Beef Brisket Soybean Paste Stew Kimchi Stew

There was a time where Baekjeong was five stars for me. At that time, I felt that they had quality over quantity and service was great. Unfortunately, I can't say that it is presently the same as it was. While I actually generally like the meats, I do feel that the brisket are less marbled, the quality of the banchan offerings has gone down, and service has been more disappointing. I do appreciate that they help you with cooking the meats. My issue is that in my preceding several visits, I felt like they were rushing to cook the meats in our combo meal. In my visit from last night, my issue was that our server/cook cooked the meats on high heat, which gave a beautiful sear, but then he would cut the heat immediately after cutting the meats with the scissors. The issue is that this caused the meat to be raw in the center. We would turn back the heat/fire to get it to at medium rare, but then the server would turn off the fire when he would make his rounds. The problem with this is that I felt that our server probably had too many tables to keep track of. Baekjeong was, at one time, a favorite place for me. At this time, I cannot say that this is the case.

Five star food AND service !! Had a great meal here with friends. Everything was so fire - brisket, short rib, pork jowl. The stand out was the beef tartare, definitely the best tartare I've ever tried with the sesame sauce and pears. What made the meal really special was the attentive servers and even the manager stopped by to check in on our table. Can't wait to come back !

The meat quality and banchan were soo good! I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a non-ayce kbbq. A couple notes though: They do have air filters to get the smoke from the grill but your clothes will still smell like food after. They have a yelp waitlist when you get there which is nice so you don't have to sit outside to wait!

Always a great place for authentic korean bbq. This place is not an AYCE korean bbq, they have combination meat menus or a la carte plus other korean dishes you can order as well. They servers grill your meat at the table which is awesome! They are very accommodating, polite and prompt to requests. It's an open space and they have those smoke eaters at each table so you are not leaving with that bbq smoke smell on yourself Their meat is very tender, marination is on point for those marinated meats. I would recommend trying this place if you want good quality meal.

Incredible food and service. Waited less than 10 minutes before being greeted, sat, and attended to by the friendly server. We got the combo 1 and it did not disappoint. After our first meat selection, Braylen saw that our server was attending another table and promptly came over to assist. We felt taken care of! It was our first time here so came in with no expectations. We left incredibly plebased, full, and satisfied. Highly recommend.

Jeremy was one of the best servers we've ever had. He checked in on us frequently without ever feeling intrusive, made thoughtful recommendations, and even offered meats we hadn't ordered because he thought we'd enjoy them. He cooked everything with care and attention, made sure we were comfortable the entire time, and treated us like we were his only table, even though the place was packed. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customer experience. If you're lucky enough to get Jeremy as your server, you're in for a fantastic night.

This location of Baekjong is located in a large plaza with lots of restaurants. It can get very busy and wait times can be really long but luckily we didn't have to wait too long on a Saturday night. The meats we got were all good quality but the service was okay. We also ordered the kimchi pancake which I really enjoyed. The price can get a bit steep if you order a lot of food, since this is not AYCE (all you can eat).

Came here around lunch-ish. Not even peak dinner rush, so there's zero excuse for the lazy service we got. Food was the same as always, solid enough. That's where the positives end. Service? A complete circus. The ONLY people who actually worked were the Latina waitress and Suid. She was quick, attentive, and actually brought what we asked for. Suid stepped up and cooked for us, which straight-up saved the experience. Respect to them -- they're carrying this place on their backs. Everyone else? Dead weight. I asked some dude with a bandanna for garlic, rice, and ssamjang -- nothing crazy, just basics -- and he basically blew me off. Never brought a damn thing. If that's your idea of customer service, stay home. What's worse is this was lunchtime. The place wasn't even slammed. If your staff can't handle a half-filled restaurant, how do you expect them to handle dinner rush? Management needs to open their eyes: you've got a couple of solid employees surrounded by a bunch of clowns dragging your whole business down. 7/10 ONLY because of the Latina waitress and Suid. Without them, this would've been a 2/10, easy. Fix your staff, or keep letting the lazy ones ruin your reputation.

This place is normally on point but today the service was not so good and I waited so long for seconds that I decided to cancel because I got full waiting. The marinated short rib was fatty and with hard cartilage. I think they did not trim it well. Also the portions were smaller. I would still go back because the food is still good. Maybe a bad night.

The one on 6th and Alexandria in Korea town was my all time favorite Korean BBQ place and I was so saddened when they closed last year. You can imagine how happy I was to hear they had a branch in Torrance!! As soon as I could get someone to go with me, I jumped on the 405 South and headed that was. A few miles off the Western exit is a rather non- descript strip mall with a number of Asian restaurants, including 85*C bakery which I love - Baekjeong is at the corner of western and Carson. So there's lots of parking. This Baekjeong is very modern with each table having their own very dedicated vent so you know you wont be smelling like bbq. Menu is scanned on your phone - which is obviously the post Covid trend. Same menu same great food. We had the beef and pork combination which is a lot of food for 2 people . They had a special beef truffle fried rice - which I just had to try. Very good BUT because they cook for you here - it just took too long for the server to chop and do all his "ceremonies" that he disrupted our lunch completely - it was actually a bit of a turn off. They've got to figure out a better way to do this - otherwise it's not worth ordering. Otherwise, the servers are really good, yes, they prefer to be the ones to cook you bbq and it's always perfectly timed - they do t hover around For the food alone - until I find another place nearer me - it's worth the trip.

Shout out to John who took care of us. There were only two people serving in the entire restaurant when we went, and John went above and beyond. Food was solid. We ordered the pork jowl x2, beef ribeye x2 and marinated short ribs. All perfectfly cooked and delicous! Please give John a raise! He worked really hard to make sure we were well fed!
