King KBBQ

Delicious meat, & excellent service! Lots of side dishes!! I was afraid combo would not be enough but it was plenty! Love the Galbi! Love that the waiter and waitress did all the cooking for us.. unlike other bbq where the waiter has to serve so many tables running like crazy, it was nice and smooth here! Our waiter speaks Chinese, Korean & English…

The service is great! They were very attentive and kind. The meat quality was good. I recommend the short rib - super tender. There was a lot of variety of sides. The complementary salad paired really well with the meat. We were impressed by the lack of smokiness.

The service was impeccable, with our waiter being both humorous and knowledgeable. The $4 valet service was convenient. The marinated prime short rib was cooked to perfection, and the delightful variety of side dishes allowed us to explore new flavors. Additionally, the use of metal chopsticks added a touch of elegance to the experience!

Korean BBQ place that will have you thinking you’re a king. This place is amazing. Service is 2nd to none and atmosphere and food are amazing as well. Bring a friend or a few and get one of the big combo platters and just sit back and enjoy. Also this place cooks the food for you in front of you. Highly recommended!!

Great food and service! Lots of side dishes, and got the combo which we loved. Needed help with our car as well and the staff was super helpful and kind. Really appreciate them going out of their way to help. Would definitely come back again!

The experience at this new K BBQ spot is better than any other spot I've ever been to. The service is exquisite, they are always tending to you to see if you need anything. The vibes in here are really good, everything very new and up to date. But the main thing I like about this spot is the quality of the food, especially the meat. The un-marinated short ribs are by far the most tender meat I've tried in a long time. Must try, if you're looking for quality meat this is the place.

Good quality meat, great service. Love all the side dishes. Corn and steam egg are delicious. Comfortable seating and atmosphere.

The food quality used to be decent, but ever since the restaurant changed owners, it feels like the quality has worsened, the prices have gone up, and the portions have become smaller. My friend said they won’t come back here again, and I don’t feel like coming back either. The person we assumed to be the manager stood right in front of our table, talking to a waiter without considering that we were trying to enjoy our meal. Our meat ended up burn-out, and they forgot the additional order we requested. I felt uncomfortable throughout the meal and continued to feel upset because of the manager. Even when I requested the check from the manager afterward, they didn’t bring it. We waited for ten minutes. Nothing happened. I have a disabled parking permit, and even though I parked the car myself, I was still required to pay for the parking. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation in town. I raised a complaint about it, but they said all parking requires payment. I think it's illegal.

I love everything!! The food was amazing and I really like the service there. The place is very clean and warm.

Hidden gem in Ktown. We went around 5ish on Sunday and it was pretty empty. Service was great. They were attentive and took care of grilling for us. My girlfriend and I ordered combo A and was a plenty food for us. We had some left over meat to take home. We are not food fighters, so might be different for people who eat a lot. The quality of the meat was great! I could tell this place cares about the meat quality. The side dishes were on point too. We prefer good quality combo set over subpar ayce kbbq, so this was perfect. Pricing wasn't bad considering the quality and quantity of food. Also, ambiance was nice inside with good lighting and ventilation. Overall, I would recommend checking this place out if you are craving good quality kbbq. In before this place gets crowded.

One of the most disappointing KBBQ spots I've been to in a while. Reviews looked great about this place and even the photos looked good. The ambiance seemed a lot nicer on videos with low exposure but in person it isn't as nice. Just started off with the banchan you could tell this could be a lower quality place (not to mention only 2 other parties dining at 7:30 on a Sunday even though they are relatively new). The meat quality was a huge let down. I was expecting top level beef but even though they are called "Prime" the beef tasted as if it was choice quality. We got the Set A and starting with the brisket, I already knew the place was gonna be a letdown. The brisket had a funk to it and it was followed by the short rib which also had a funk to it. The finger meat that came out next was very bland and the sesame oil marinated one ended up having a burnt oil taste which was expected. The worst of it all was the filet at the end, the sides were oxidized and the meat was flavorless. The server was extremely nice and tried his best to help us after we expressed our opinions to him and tried to find a way to cut the dinner early.

our second visit here. both times we got the chadol + pork bbq combo ($80) which includes four different types of meat food) portions perfect for two, meat is good quality. comes with a bunch of side dishes + steamed egg (no soup though) service) pretty average - they don't check up on you unless to cook the meat overall, decent place to visit for kbbq once in a while

This was one of my top Kbbq experiences overall. We came here for a special occasion and chose Combo B and few other meats a la carte. The servers were very attentive and cooked the meat for us perfectly. Parking was easy as they have valet. Overall, I definitely recommend coming here for the high quality meats and service.

I was looking for Korean barbecue place, coming back from the Lobera tarp in this place was amazing. The staff was accommodating, several tables, open during the lunch hour, gray quality meats, they help set it up for you cut it up and serve. Definitely a great customer service. Additionally, the banchan was delicious, their kimchi was exceptional. They had this meat dish that was very savory, the noodles were good. It was really top quality meat, we got plan/option B and it was enough food for me and my husband and our three young boys.

Prime K BBQ is awesome! Even though it's been open for a year now, it's still a bit hidden. It's the one Korean BBQ place that's actually delicious you can walk into on the weekend without a reservation and get a seat. We did on Friday during prime time for dining so I know it's possible. Staff was welcoming when we walked in and throughout the entire time, they were friendly, on top of everything from cooking things for us to ensuring we had drinks. If you start things right, you should get their Yuk Hwe, basically beef tartar but the portion of julienned prime beef is huge and high quality. It's layered with Korean pears with garlic & sesame oil with a cracked egg mixed in on top, giving it a nice balance between all the flavors. Obsessed. Their Korean BBQ is more on the higher price range but it is high quality. When you get a combo, it comes with the usual soybean stew, steamed egg, mushrooms, and a nice little bonus of pineapples. Pineapples on the grill are such a nice sweet treat to end the meal. The brisket is great but the Seng Kalbi is their money spot. Delicious seasoning that makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Prime K BBQ has def made me a fan and I'll be back!

This is a decent KBbq place. This was our first time here as we were craving barbecue last minute. It was a Saturday so there was a line almost everywhere so we decided to check this place out since there was no waiting list here . They have different packages offered here I think we got menu A. It came with a decent amount of meat and other side dishes: steam eggs , corn cheese, salad + soup. The servers do try their best to prep the meat for you at the table which is also a plus!

Quality of meat was good, but overall banchans (side dishes) and other dishes were mediocre. The staff were attentive, although one of my servers did not notice she was pouring hot water on my satin skirt. Would I go back? Yes, if my family or friends want to go. But this place would not be my top choices. If you don't like super crowded and loud K BBQ places and you are only there for the meat, this place is a good option.

Visited with a group of six and decided on combination C along with a portion of bulgogi, which quickly became my favorite! The service was outstanding; they kept a close eye on the grill, ensuring the meat and veggies were cooked to perfection. This spot has definitely become one of my top choices for KBBQ in Koreatown!

Make this your go to KBBQ spot! For the quality, quantity and price this place beats anywhere else. Had combo a for $120 between 2 people. There was a lot of sides, salad, soup, rice, corn cheese and the funniest host. The service is fantastic, they help you cook so all you have to do is focus on eating. The restaurant has a lot of seating for big and small groups. The best thing about here is that you absolutely do not smell like korean bbq after. I was amazed I had no smell after . Please give this a try if toy haven't yet! You'll be blown away! My partner and I have already decided that this is our go to spot for bringing anyone from out of town or wanting some good quality meat.

Affordable, decent quality and great side dishes! I went on a Monday night with some friends, I almost walked back out because it was very quiet... I get anxiety when it's too quiet inside but it was 8:30PM on a Monday and I believe they do their last call at 10PM. We ordered the COMBO A because some of us weren't hungry; we thought it's the smallest combo so it'll be perfect-- NOPE IT WAS A LOT OF FOOD! WOW! I'm still shocked that the small combo was more than enough food for 4 adults! I also added the raw beef tartare (always) and that too was a HUGE portion compared to some other restaurants in the area for he same price and THEY DO NOT SKIMP on the pine nuts! The server was absolutely adorable. I think I had too much fun talking to her than my party... haha They cook the meat for you from start to finish and they will refill all of the side dishes for you without being mean about it. We liked how the booths were set up a little high so it give a bit of privacy to each party dining but at the same time it's a little hard to flag a server if you're a little short (me). I'm definitely coming back! Side note: there's an alley outside that says "Diet always start tomorrow" and "if it's delicious it's 0 calories" in Korean and I cannot agree more HAHA

Prime K BBQ was pretty good. Me and my family stopped by here for a birthday dinner and they didn't disappoint. They aren't AYCE but al a carte, so it'll be slightly pricey. That being said, the meat is delicious and got the marbling that many people enjoy. I recommend it if you've never tried here

Went here for a holiday dinner with my work place and it was delicious! They cook the food for you and give you multiple refills of the side dishes if you ask for them. They accompanied 10 of us with no problem. They were all super friendly! The reason why I marked it only 4 stars was because of the VALET. They're thieves with sticky fingers! They park your car because they're a "valet". I was kind of hesitant to hand over my keys because it's a small lot and I don't trust anyone inside my car. Turns out I was right. My dash camera has a parking mode feature and it caught a valet employee looking in my glove box for cash. He pulled out a red envelope (it was empty) and put it back after learning it was empty. Smile for the camera you thief Attached is a photo of the "employee" and in the video you can see the top right reflection of him opening my glove box and taking out a red envelope.

If you're a meat enthusiast like me, this Korean BBQ restaurant is an absolute must-visit! They are not your typical all you can eat but you order by the combos or by the plate. One of the perks are you will have leftovers for later!!! (Well if there are any!). We came with 3 people so we ordered a Combo D which I think would be perfect for 4 - 5 people! The star of the show has to be the Wagyu beef (look at all these beautiful marbling). They practically melt in your mouth, and the marbling is nothing short of perfection. Each bite is a flavor explosion that leaves you craving for more. They source their meats meticulously, and it truly shows in the taste and texture. But the excellence doesn't stop at Wagyu; this place offers a variety of top-notch cuts, from prime ribeye to pork cheeks (we added the pork in our beef combo) and the epic tomahawk. The marinated options (beef short ribs and USDA prime meat) are fantastic too, infusing the meats with incredible flavor. The staff is attentive, helping you grill to perfection if needed, ensuring you get the best out of your chosen cuts. Aside from the meat, the sides and condiments are also top-notch. The kimchi is perfectly balanced in its spice, and the pickled vegetables provide a refreshing contrast to the rich meats. Whether you're a Korean BBQ connoisseur or a first-timer, this restaurant will leave you with a memorable, mouthwatering experience. Worth every penny for meat lovers!

Great Korean BBQ place! Good quality meat priced very well. Very kind and fully attentive staff. Would highly recommend this place!

Not AYCE but it's a LOT of food. Our party of 5 ordered Combo B and we left stuffed. Meat quality was great and super tender. The combo also came with pineapple and I literally could not get enough. All the servers here were super nice (and they cook for you!!)

We came in around 9pm on Saturday night and it was a huge disappointment considering this place was on a higher price range for kbbq. First, the server was annoyed to see us, which should have been a telltale sign for us to leave. When he toke us to our table, there were disgusting napkins on the floor. Around us were tables with used plates and cups - honesty the place was a ghost restaurant. Our server helped us cook the entire time, but we felt super rushed. What really disgusted me was the fact that he was cleaning up the tables around us while coming back to cook. The one star was for the meat (they were good quality cuts) and the valet is nice. However, we won't be coming back. We were expecting good food and great service, but felt super rushed on a Saturday night. Oh, they don't close at the times posted on Yelp/ Google. They close when management wants.

Gathered here for a good friends birthday and all I can say it felt like it was a gift to myself! Food was so delicious and the meat was so tender. On top of the delicious juicy meats, the service was impeccable and was super attentive. Highly recommend! Parking is easy with valet for 4$ and inside is very spacious for seating. Check it out, you won't regret it!

Walked in on a Friday night, waited 30 min. It was super busy with only 2 waitresses. They were working their butts off. literally running around trying to attend to everyone. Although they were busy and seemed to be struggling they still did a good job. The meat quality for the price is what makes this place good! They also have really good banchan.

I came here recently while visiting LA. A friend recommended that I try this kbbq place and raved about their high quality meat. This friend in particular has been to a lot of KBBQ places and has a good idea of what's high quality and what's not. So when she said I needed to go to Prime, I had to try it for myself! The vibe in the restaurant was very relaxing and comfortable, with enough table space for all the food that was about to arrive. I ordered bulgolgi, marinated short rib, and brisket. Banchan was complimentary. This isn't an AYCE kbbq but this is hands down the best kbbq place I've ever been to. The meat melts in your mouth, the high quality of the meat can be seen and tasted. The portions were big and the sauces that were paired with the meats were the best. The servers were so nice and attentive. I had seen other reviews discussing that the service was poor but the experience I had was the complete opposite of what those reviews claimed. My server was attentive, efficient, and would refill my banchan whenever I requested. I wish I didn't live as far as I did from LA, or else I'd make Prime a regular go-to spot of mine. I've raved about this place to all my friends and every friend that has gone has been blown away by the quality of the food and experience they had. I can't wait to be back in LA just to come here again!

My friend suggested this place to me and my partner. They knew that we love Korean barbecue and told us this was a must go to spot because of the quality of the meat. At first, I was skeptical because I've never been to a Korean barbecue spot that was not AYCE so I was curious to see how it was. I've been to a lot of Korean barbecue spots, especially in Koreatown, and I can say that this place has the BEST quality of meat. The meat is definitely worth the price. And don't worry about cooking it wrong. The waiters and waitresses were so nice and can help cook it for you! I've never ever had that experience in all of Korean barbecue spots I've been to. They also explained every side dish or sauce and what meat is best paired with it just in case you're not familiar with it. Also the portions of each meat dish was so much, you will not walk out hungry. (We got Combo A and ordered a side dish of marinated steak) Also, one of the owners would sometimes walk around to make sure that everything is okay and make sure that everything is good. I also found out that this place is family Korean owned, so it's nice to support a small local business too. I can see this place also being a good place to watch sports as they have a lot of TV's that were tuned to sports. They have a lot of selection of beers, ranging from local to Korean beers, and also a lot of soju selections. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a Korean barbecue spot in Koreatown!! 6 out of 5 stars!

This restaurant is in the location where the old Ombu Grill was. We had dinner to celebrate my kid's 2nd birthday. The food was great, and service was phenomenal. The meat was fresh and promptly cooked. The pans were changed without us even asking. Honestly, it was the best service I've ever gotten getting kbbq. The staff was super accommodating to my toddler, and he surprisingly ate much more than I expected (he loved the marinated galbi and the grilled pineapples). We ordered: kkot ssal, marinated galbi, soybean paste stew, and spicy cold noodles. Everything was really good, including the dipping sauces for the meat. However, with the amount of side dishes offered, I think you could also just order meat and eat it with them without having to order extra dishes. I would definitely come back. Besides the food and service, the tables are a great size for group dinners. There is also valet on site ($4 at the time of writing this review).

After trying so many Korean BBQ place, I can say that Prime K BBQ is the best one in K town. Especially their side dishes are so fresh and delicious. Service was also very nice.

Perhaps one of the finest Korean bbq places. Amazing food and impeccable service, and extremely creative banchan made for a great experience. But that damn Korean "salsa". They need to sell that! Service was so attentive and she did a fantastic job not over cooking our food! And never once, did we have to cook for ourselves. Stellar. All the meat had stellar marbling and flavor. And they're very generous with their portions. Never have I seen 4 hungry men not finish their entire Korean bbq meal. Hope they keep this level of service and food up. Our new go to for bbq!

One of the best new KBBQ places in KTown. First off go before it gets crazy. The service is so good and friendly. Also meat quality and marinade is excellent. The side dishes are original and great beer and soju.

I recently dined at Prime KBBQ with a party of 5 on a Friday night, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Despite being avid KBBQ lovers familiar with many LA establishments, this was our first visit to Prime. We opted for the Combo A priced at $120, expecting a generous portion of meat. Regrettably, the quantity did not justify the steep price when compared to other top-rated KBBQ spots in the area. Our party found itself still hungry at 9:30 pm, prompting an attempt to order more meat. To our surprise, the waitress informed us that the kitchen was closed, even though the posted hours indicated they were open until 12 am. The lack of a last call notice left us bewildered and frustrated. The waiter acknowledged the issue, admitting that customers have frequently complained. However, he explained that the owner decides when to close, particularly on slow days. This lack of consistency and communication left us hungry and dissatisfied. Leaving the restaurant at 10 pm with lingering hunger was disappointing, to say the least. Our attempt to convey our dissatisfaction was met with an apology, but it was evident that the owner's decision-making prioritizes closing over customer satisfaction. In conclusion, our experience at Prime KBBQ fell far short of expectations, and we won't be returning. It's disheartening when a restaurant's management seems indifferent to customer concerns, undermining the overall dining experience.

Absolutely the best quality Korean bbq I've had where EVERYTHING was good from the MEAT to the SOUP to the sides to even the nangmyun. This place is a hidden gem and I'd recommend it 11/10 this place is fire! Had the pleasure of eating here, most definitely will come back again!

Quality of the meat and good service. Those are the 2 main criteria on how I judge a KBBQ place. I can happily say that Prime K excels at both. We ordered the combo A and it was plenty for 2 people. All of the rounds of meat were delicious and tender. You can valet park on a shared lot. Come here if you don't care about AYCE and want quality meat.

I had a wonderful experience at prime bbq. Honestly, their food was very fresh and tasty. Service was very friendly. I'll Definately Come Back!!

The food is great... but the workers must be really unhappy with the management or something. A few are trying but most of them look extremely stressed out and angry. They have unhappy moody tone of voice and slam stuff around the customers such as dropping the grill plates and looking at you like a chore when you ask about a food item. Food was burning because they were understaffed, and if we try to grill they would snatch the tongs from us lol...

The food was great, and there was los of it. We were three people and the Combo A filled us up and overfilled us. It was hard to stop eating! We took a salad and almost 1/2 a pound of meat home along with some of the small salads in the small bowls. The meat and vegetables were fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. the valet was only 4$, too. we will be back.

Came back for bbq this time. I was very impressed with the selections in my combo choice. I believe I got the tomahawk combo which was very good. In terms of pricing, I think it's fair considering the quality of the meat. It came with tons of sides. Last time I came here, the steamed egg was very watery and I let the server know. When I came back, the egg was way better so it's nice to know they actually take your feedback. With all other kbbq being swarmed during dinner times, this new place is an excellent alternative with a much more mature vibe. Definitely my new favorite kbbq restaurant. Parking is tight but they have valet parking.

All the established staples of korean bbq can be slammed on any given day. This place is amazing, and since it's a newer establishment, the quality of the meat can't hinder neither will the service. Got here at 720pm and got seated right away. They have the most unique beef combo set hands down. You got korea meets usa in that they will have marinated jumuluk to go with a tomahawk. Sometimes, that's what it takes when you feel like korean bbq and a good steak house, and you get both. In the end, I want this hidden gem to be hidden just for us, but I want their success they deserve it. It was a party of 5, and the waitress cooked all of our meats with ease. The food 5 stars The service 5 stars The cleanliness 5 stars The seating 4 stars (everytime I leaned back, it had a little squeaking ) This place will get more and more packed. Compared to other korean bbq the portions are bigger, and the price is way competitive. The owner provided us the you know korean service hehehe (Terra on the house)

We made a reservation weeks ago for NYE at 11:15pm with the intent of doing the countdown here. We saw on google they were open until 1am. On our flight over they had called and messaged to tell us they decided to close early and asked if we could come earlier. We literally just landed and called back to see what was going on. The earliest we could make it was 10:45pm and they said they couldn't accommodate that. We spent the next 30 minutes calling around to other restaurants where we could eat instead. Terrible service. Food could have been great but I guess I'll never know. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Quality meat, excellent service, banchan was on point with plenty of variety, and a great atmosphere. We arrived right when they opened so we had the whole place to ourselves. Not an AYCE spot but the serving sizes were huge and they cook for you too! I usually prefer to do the grilling but being able to sit back and take shots of soju with friends was refreshing. Our grill master was skillful and attentive to our needs, definitely will be returning. Come check this place out now! Shoutout to the Valet, Antonio!

Wow, this is amazing. If you want to take real K-style BBQ, This is the right answer. Good quality meat, nice serving & cook. The most important thing of K-BBQ is grilling skill. Servers of this restaurant are very good to grill! If you have curious, come on right now! The cold noodle is very good K-desert.

The meat here is really high quality. I came here in a party of 2 and ordered combo B. It's A LOT of food so beware. The servers are really attentive and even cook the food for you on the grill. This place is definitely a 5/5

Definitely a must to try! Came to LA for a week and this was one of our spots, meats was cooked to perfection and so many side dishes. Staff members were also so kind and friendly.

This place has quality meats along with great service! They also had a great variety of side dishes as well. Give this place a try! You won't regret it!

Walked in to this place on a friday night and they had plenty of seating! I recommend getting one of the combo menus. For 8 people we got 2 of the combo B and it was plenttyy of food! The meat was very fresh and good quality. Came with plenty of sides and banchans. Our server lady was extremely attentive and nice. Strongly recommend this spot if you are looking for a high quality kbbq spot that is not too crowded! Couldnt get a pic before!

Omg!! Amazing taste. I think this is the most delicious k-bbq in La. I'm so full even if it's just two of us. I'm sure you won't regret it. Just try it

Quality service, great quality of meat, amazing combos. Definitely give this restaurant a shot. The interior is very nice, they even have private rooms for large parties. Unfortunately the parking situation isn't the greatest, but it's not terrible either. If you can find street parking get it haha.

The quality here is unbeatable! I'm just going to say this but I definitely had a good feeling after eating here because sometimes you don't after getting kbbq. Usually I feel too full and nasty but here, I feel great and satisfied. Great service so I will be back for sure

Came here for a family dinner and it was one of the best meals I had hands down! They have private rooms for bigger parties and making reservations is super easy! For food, I ordered the biggest combo and it was the perfect amount for 7 people. The beef tartare is amazing and the quality of the meats is superb compared to other places! Highly recommend and would come back again and again !

They're named Prime Korean bbq for a reason. Everything about this restaurant- from the meat quality itself, the generous portion sizes, the quality of each side dish, to the clean, spacious rooms, attentive and friendly staff- was top notch and prime quality. They also have a lot of unique dishes you normally wouldn't find at an ordinary kbbq spot like beef tartare, galbi & squid stew, and tomahawk steak! Can accommodate all kinds of sizes and group events (had separate private rooms aside from the main dining hall), so definitely recommend giving this place a try. Won't disappoint!

Service was excellent. Sides very fresh. The meat combo was a good amount of food. Quality.. was overall very decent. Would I come back, I think yes. I want to try one more time bc service was really good!!!

Not all you can eat but the quality is amazing. Every single meat variety was delicious and tender. Side dishes were all on point and so was the cold noodles at the end. Definitely coming back

We visited here for the first time and I can't wait to come back here again. First things first they give you a lot of side dishes and they are absolutely delicious especially the kimchi and japchae. We ended up getting the meat combo B and there was so much food! The service was immaculate as they cooked everything for us and don't get me started on the meat. The meat quality was so good that it practically melted in your mouth and the cold noodles after the meal was just the perfect finish. I definitely recommend coming here. Parking is valet but there is some street parking around the area.

I have never had such a tasty none spicy cold noodle, (mool nang myun in Korean). My friends and I, five of us, also had bbq Rib along with the noodle as a combo. They were so tasty that we ate them up leaving none. This restaurant is very clean and seating is spacious.
