K-Elements BBQ

"Out of all the spots in this guide, K-Elements has the most range. The Richmond spot has a lengthy menu of meat (including cuts you don’t typically see at KBBQ spots, like filet mignon) and an impressive selection of seafood. We especially like the spicy baby octopus, which are thoroughly coated in a decently fiery marinade. This place is always packed with a revolving door of friend groups, families, and dates catching the game on one of the big TVs—so come early or expect a wait. The grilled protein palooza will run you $36.95 per person. " - julia chen 1, lani conway

"The all-you-can-eat KBBQ scene isn’t exactly plentiful in this town, but K-Elements proves it’s about quality over quantity. The AYCE spot in the Richmond is packed nightly with people of all ages flipping slices of pork belly and zucchini on a smoky grill. Their meat selection is lengthy (over a dozen options), and you’ll see everything from filet mignon and saucy bulgogi to baby octopus. There are also add-ons like soondubu and some solid sweet chili chicken wings. The easygoing space is also full of neon lights and wall TVs playing sports, in case you need to distract yourself while waiting for the 3rd or 20th round of meats to arrive." - julia chen 1, lani conway
