TK92 Korean BBQ

Popped in because its always time for meat. Loved tge atmosphere, and the language lessons in the bathroom. The food was great. The only downside was lack of my favorite banchan and the high prices of solutions. I'll be back. With my own bottles. ;)

I’ve been to TK92 Korean BBQ in San Gabriel multiple times, and the food is always solid, but what really keeps me coming back is the service — especially Jared. He is hands down the best server I’ve had there. From the moment he comes to the table, you can tell he actually cares about the experience. He’s attentive without hovering, checks in at the right times, and always makes sure the grill is handled properly so nothing gets overcooked or wasted. At a KBBQ spot, that makes a huge difference. Jared knows the menu really well and gives honest recommendations instead of just upselling. Whether it’s suggesting the right cuts of meat, explaining how something should be cooked, or timing refills of banchan and drinks perfectly, he keeps everything running smoothly so you can just enjoy the meal. What stands out most is his attitude. He’s friendly, relaxed, and professional even when the restaurant is busy. You never feel rushed, forgotten, or like you’re bothering him when you ask for something. That kind of service is rare, especially at a popular spot like TK92. Great food is expected at Korean BBQ, but great service isn’t always guaranteed. Jared consistently delivers, and he’s a big reason why TK92 is one of my go-to KBBQ places in San Gabriel. If you get seated in his section, you’re in good hands.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is hands down one of my go-to KBBQ spots in SoCal! The quality of the meat is always solid, service is consistent, and I’ve noticed most people share the same experience here. 📍 Location & Parking TK92 is tucked inside Life Plaza Center on Valley Blvd (west of Del Mar Ave). If you’re pulling in, the restaurant is on the bottom left corner of the first floor. Parking can be a little tricky—there’s a tiny upper lot with maybe 10–15 spots, but most of the time you’ll end up in the underground structure. Heads up: once you’re underground, say goodbye to your phone signal. 🍽️ The Setup Walking in, you go down a hallway that passes an arcade (yes, random but fun) and leads to a waiting area with sofas and chairs. There’s even a sit-down bar in that area, but it’s hardly used nowadays. Once you step in further, the counter is on your left and that’s where you’ll get greeted. 👩‍🍳 Service & Food Servers are attentive and actually check in throughout the meal, which I really appreciate. The meat quality is legit, and they have different menu tiers depending on what you want to spend. Honestly, the basic level works just fine for me—it’s still tasty and filling. ✅ Overall TK92 is a spot I always come back to because they deliver the same good service and food every time. If you’re craving KBBQ and want a reliable choice in the area, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out.

I had not been to Korean barbecue in a while, in this place, it was a great place to go because the price was really decent for the amount of food you got we basically it's all you can eat and we were full pretty quickly all the sides are tasty I love the fish cake and the salad Anna short road. For the meat we got shrimp beef bulgogi chicken bulgogi and the special marinated short rib. Everything was really outstanding and we had plenty of food and since we didn't get drinks it was actually pretty cheap , with tax and tip it was $ 54 a person. The staff is Young, friendly, and efficient and really good at their jobs. We had a waitress named Diona and a waiter named Eric, and they were really helpful in showing us how the food is organized. The really notable thing about service is that you would put something down and finished and it would get picked up almost immediately by whoever was nearest. The staff was really quick and on their toes. It was a really good experience.

Second time here, the wait is never long and the service is great! We love the food and drinks. Right now they have a fun game for the holidays,try to hit the button at 92 seconds and you get a free meal. We did not win but it was fun to play!

Pretty good Korean BBQ spot with an all-you-can-eat option in LA. I really enjoyed the food here. The meat was good, high quality, well-marinated, and cooked up perfectly on the grill. Everything we tried had great flavor. Personally, I really liked bulgogi and cow tongues. They were sweet and flavorful. The side dishes and sauces were good too. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The restaurant itself is beautiful. There are lots of tables, and the vibe is pretty cool, without being too loud. I really enjoyed it. We arrived around 8 PM and ended up waiting about 45 minutes for a table, which is okay since we just walked in. There is also pretty nice area for waiting. The grill in the restaurant worked perfectly. The service was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. They came by our table often to check in, refill sides, and ask if we wanted to order more meat, which I really appreciate. They also took the time to explain the different menu options, which was great. It costs around $50 per person, and I would say it’s definitely worth it for the quality of food and service you get. Overall, it’s a great spot for Korean BBQ. I’ll definitely come back if I will be in that area and will be craving for some Korean BBQ. Very good nice!!!

TK 92 Korean BBQ in San Gabriel is a solid spot tucked away in an unassuming corner of the old Shanghai No. 1 mall. Once you step inside, it’s surprisingly spacious, with some fun games at the entrance to keep you entertained while you wait. They’ve got two AYCE options: premium for $39.99 and deluxe for $36.99. We went with the premium, and it was worth it for the variety. Service was friendly and attentive, though the meat selection felt pretty standard—similar to what you’d get at Gen in Alhambra. The short rib and brisket were definite highlights, tender and flavorful. The shrimp was super fresh, which was a nice touch, and I loved that they include tofu soup and steamed egg to round out the meal. It’s a crazy popular spot, so expect long waits on weekends. Overall, it’s a great bang for your buck if you’re craving KBBQ in the area.

Very clean place without BBQ smoke. Good quality meat. I like them a lot because the meat itself is not overly marinated. Strand egg and kimchi fried rice are sooo good. Will definitely come back.

The beef is amazing and the place is such a vibe with high ceilings. Staffs are so friendly and constantly checking our table if we need anything else. Overall a great experience

Parking: FREE Seating: 10/10 (but floors were kinda slippery) Service: On point; fast and reliable service Aesthetic: SO CUTE, they have a cute waiting area with games and a Photo Booth! Food: The meat was great; would highly recommend their beef belly

Haven't been here since 6 years ago ! happy to try it again after so long.. I really enjoyed the bachans here because of the Korean pancake, macaroni pasta and broccoli. Their kimchi is really good as well. Service was really good as servers were very attentive. I really enjoyed the steamed egg, spicy myun, beef tongue and garlic shrimps ! The myun is a mixture of clear noodles and salad so like a noodle salad with spicy sauce. I've never had this before and love spicy food so it was quite refreshing .. Thanks for the delicious meal TK92 !

A lot has changed since the last time I was here. They do not have the higher price points which will have dry aged meats, there isn't ice cream anymore or shake shake rice, there isn't anymore mouth wash in the restroom anymore.. but I can say the experience is good for a Korean BBQ place. I recommend just going for their Prem AYCE. $39.99 is a pretty decent price especially with the amount of ban chan they offer here . I would recommend the kimchi fried rice, the beef tongue, prem marinated meat. The staff is quite friendly and attentive, making sure they change out your grill. Keep in mind at this time (Jan 2025) they are remodeling, and looking forward to seeing how the inside will look after, as they used to have some arcade games. The inside looks the same as it did a few years back. Will definitely stop by again sometime soon! Until next time !

TK92 is a AYCE Korean BBQ spot in our rotation. We generally stick with the lower priced Deluxe option. You cook yourself, though staff are readily present to help with banchan refills and grill replacements, which happen very often. Our favorite meats are the thin sliced pork belly and LA galbi. Banchan include a salad, japchae, pajon, macaroni salad, rice paper, broccoli, fish cake, radish. This time around, we learned you need to request kimchi and that they had eliminated cucumber. We wish they'd bring back cucumber because it adds an acidic element. Steamed egg is included in the AYCE and that might be my favorite part of TK92!

The interior of this place is so cute & I love the photo booth you can take pictures in while you wait! I am addicted to the spicy cold noodles so I order that multiple times during my meal. The meat is also pretty fresh, especially for an AYCE spot. Service is also exceptional even during busy dinner hours :) 10/10 very impressed

Stepping into this Korean BBQ spot feels like a journey back in time, with its vintage decor and nostalgic touches that evoke the charm of traditional Korean culture. From retro posters to the use of vintage decor, the ambiance perfectly complements the communal dining experience. The service is impeccable: attentive, efficient, and quick to ensure everything arrives promptly and in perfect order. The food is the star, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that shine on the grill. The beef brisket, marinated short rib, boneless short rib, and premium steak are tender and packed with flavor, while the pork belly, pork neck, and beef tongue are equally delightful. Sides like the hearty tofu stew, fluffy steamed egg, jjol myun, kimchi fried rice, rich k-ramen, and indulgent cheese fondue round out the meal. Every dish is delicious, making this spot a must-visit for anyone craving an exceptional Korean BBQ experience with a touch of vintage charm!

tk92 has to be the best kbbq in san gabriel area. i live closer to 626 than ktown so i come here when im craving kbbq and it does not disappointed ~Food~ premium menu is worth for an additional $3 ($39.99 vs $36.99). some of my favorite meats are boneless short rib, premium steak, and pork neck the entrees are also all solid- favorites being steamed egg, kimchi fried rice and tofu soup ~Service: 10/10! servers are always checking in and doing grill changes ~Cost: $36.99 and $39.99 ~Parking: free lot parking available

Great selection and quality of meats and banchans. Our new favorite place. Service is awesome too.

This is a cool spot! It's much bigger than I had thought and there's pretty cool decor and things to do before/after you eat. There's some cool arcade games and a photobooth that you can take pictures in for a fee. The dining area is relatively big and the tables are spaced out from each other which I appreciated. There weren't too many people so service was quick. Servers were really friendly and constantly checked into our table. The food was pretty delicious. I really enjoyed the ban chan. I really liked the kimchi, radish, and fish cake. My favorite meat was actually the steak. It was tender and juicy and very flavorful. I'd go back again and the price point (36.99) was reasonable for the food we got.

This place has been open for quite some time now. I recall it being one of the higher-end, more sought-after Korean BBQ restaurants in the 626. I dropped by on a random Friday evening, thinking it would likely be empty because of all the rising competition. I was right. Food: I went with the basic package, but the food was very disappointing. The brisket was rough/hard. This prompted me to order the beef belly, which is usually a bit too fatty but always soft in most places. The beef belly was not soft here...Rib finger meat was not cut right. The meat fibers made it hard to chew. The pork belly was okay. Galbi was okay. The banchan which to me is usually the highlight of the meal was limited to 5 items all in which was underwhelming.. Service: Service was good and speedy. They checked on us frequently. Environment: No windows. It had an old-fashioned 80s/90s Japanese Anime styling theme going on. I don't know what to make of it. Parking is easy as they have a relatively large underground parking lot with a security guard. Price: $40 is standard now for AYCE Korean BBQ in the 626, but I definitely didn't feel like it was worth that. Food: 1 Service: 4 Environment: 3 Price: 2

One of our new favorite AYCE Korean bbq in the SGV! On the weekends and during dinner rush on the weekdays it can get super packed and there's a long wait time. Limited parking upstairs, but plenty of parking in the underground structure. They're located in the same plaza as Motto Tea Cafe on Valley Blvd. We usually get the most expensive selection which is the premium bbq priced at $39.99/person. The beef brisket, beef tongue, and marinated short ribs are our favorite meats. Their spicy tofu soup and kimchi fried rice are also very popular and delicious. Service is quick and friendly. FYI, their floors are a bit slippery so watch your step. Their interior decor with the robot theme is very cool. They even have a Photo Booth there.

This was my second time visiting. I had such a good first experience i couldnt wait to come back. Granted it was almost a year or so, but the quality has gone down. The meat quality and cuts are not as good/tender. The menu also seems to have changed to have less items. Service was still good. Not sure exactly what they changed but my second experience was disappointing. Inside is still nice with lots of seating.

I just found my go to AYCE KBBQ spot in the San Gabriel valley. First I liked all their bonchon. Everything tasted like it was made fresh and was not sitting around the whole day. Second, I thought their bulgogi was the best tasting of all the Kbbq places in the area. I also highly recommend their premium steak. All their meats were good, but those two were my favorite. Finally, their service was excellent. They were constantly checking on us to see if we needed more meats, water or needed the grill replaced. Definitely give this place a try.

Korean BBQ options near me are pretty limited, so when the craving hits, I usually make the trek out to Diamond Bar. TK92 is much closer to home, and I can't believe I hadn't tried it sooner. The service was awesome, and the variety of banchan was good enough. One small downside is that the tables felt a bit cramped, though that might be because we ordered so much lol. A standout for us was the beef tongue, which is my boyfriend's go-to. It's usually reserved for premium menus at other places, but here it's included on their most affordable menu ($36.99). Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back. It's a solid option that saves me the trip to Diamond Bar, and I'm excited to have a closer go-to spot for Korean BBQ.

A friend recommended this place to me, and I went on a weekday evening -- there was not much of a wait and we got seated quickly. They have two menus with one being a few dollars more expensive (with a few more premium options). We got the more expensive one at $39.99 which gave us access to the full menu. My favorites of the night had to have been the thinly sliced pork and spicy noodles which were delicious. The cheese fondue (dipping sauce) was the most surprising item as it really enhanced the flavor of the meats. The staff there were very attentive and had great service the whole time! Really made the dining experience better! The place was decorated super interestingly, and i would have never imagined how large the space is judging from the store's entrance! Very cool~

[2.5 stars] Came in on Mother's Day & luckily no wait! I did see how there was a nice little waiting area & also a Life4Cuts photo booth which was pretty cool. They also have a robot-themed place and decor was nice to look at. Friendly staff, but service was kind of inconsistent. Sometimes service felt quick and other times when we needed someone, it felt like no one was coming up to help & we had to flag them down. Wish it was more consistent. My party of 4 got the deluxe option. I enjoyed how they set the table with banchan before we got seated. I also liked how they had scallion pancakes as a banchan, but you have to ask for kimchi for them to provide it. I recommend asking for it because good kimchi was a staple in my kbbq experience. They also only had one dipping sauce & I usually enjoy the variety such as salt or spicy paste. Meat quality was okay. I expected the beef tongue/steak/beef brisket to be more tender & more flavorful. But something was lackluster. My favorite cuts were the spicy marinated octopus & pork belly. I also enjoyed the flavor & spice of the tofu soup, but a bit too salty. Steamed egg was fluffy and yummy. However it's a kbbq place so I am disappointed the side dishes stood out more to me than the actual meats... The grill was my party's biggest annoyance because it ONLY cooked in the center & none of the outer circle side really cooked...As a result, we had to wait a long time to cook our food & ask to change the grill constantly because we could only cook in the center. I thought it was just my table's problem, but looking at the other reviews here, it looks like a general problem they have, which ruins the experience. I hope to see improvements in meat quality and cooking methods to ensure a better experience for everyone. Overall, okay place but left feeling unsatisfied.

Anytime I'm in L.A. I always make time to come here for some yummy korean bbq. We always go premium so we can enjoy all the different meats they have available. The steam egg is quite enjoyable and delicious. Watch out because it is super hot when served. One of my other favorite sides was the kimchi fried rice. I ate 2 portions myself, hehe! My favorite meat has to be the Galbi. I couldn't stop ordering more. It was so delicious it just melts in your mouth. Try it, you won't regret it. We came on the weekend so it was pretty busy. Service was kinda of slow but it's expected with the hungry weekend crowd. I love the comfortable waiting area they provide for customers. It's definitely a casual vibe. I cant wait to go back to L.A just to get a chance to come here to grub again. This is definitely a place to come with friends and just enjoy great food with good company.

Amazing service, meat quality, and atmosphere! I feel bad for rating this place so low before but I guess that was a long time ago when they first opened and were just figuring things out. Very impressed with how attentive and friendly all of the staffs are.

officially one of my favorite kbbq places in the area! easy to find parking as it's located in a plaza, very fun 90s decor and wall art, and staff are very kind! loved the selection of banchan and they were very generous about bringing more. great selection of protein and everything was very fresh.

Food was surprisingly great. Plenty of AYCE options where everything was actually delicious. Tried all the marinated meats , briskets, steak, bulgogi, etc and nothing disappointed! Perfect portions. Get cheese fondue as a side to dip everything in! Parking in this plaza is weird and everyone parks horribly but I guess that's SGV / Rosemead for you. Will definitely come back if I'm ever in this neck of the woods again!

This place was so yummy! When we went it wasn't too busy so we got really good service. I especially liked the japchae and egg soufflés. The meat was really good- I would say it was definitely worth the slightly higher price than KBBQs at other places.

Love that they're open relatively late on Sundays. My wife and I came back late in the evening from our vacation and we were craving kbbq. Quality was great for the price. Will come back!

TK92 Korean BBQ, situated on Valley Boulevard, offers an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ experience. The ambiance is both inviting and spacious. ::Food:: You choose between two options from the all-you-can-eat menu: the Deluxe Barbecue for $36.99 or the Premium Barbecue for $39.99. There are a variety of meat options and side orders available. Our favorites was the seasoned boneless short rib. While the prices are reasonable, we found the meat quality to be lacking. Some of the cuts we received were overly chewy and tough. However, considering the affordability, the quality is understandable. ::Customer Service:: The customer service experience here is exceptional! The team was incredibly attentive, ensuring our water was always topped up, the grill was promptly changed, and they frequently checked in to see if we needed more meat. Kenneth delivered outstanding service; he consistently checked on us and readily answered any menu-related queries. We spoke to Derek, the manager, to express our appreciation of Kenneth's great customer service! Diona was also very warm and friendly, continuously offering additional items from the menu. ::Highlight:: Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the level of service, which truly enhanced our dining experience. We're definitely planning to return, largely due to the exceptional service provided. ::M's Notes:: - Indoor seating - Parking lot

A pretty solid ayce Korean bbq place with quality meat and side dishes. Everything was flavorful and delicious! I have not seen an ayce place that does the scallion pancake as a side dish, so seeing this here for the first time is definitely different. Service was pretty quick and the inside is also nice!

I would say the place is ok. I've been to. Few that had more variety and flavors. The service was awesome. They were prompt and the ambiance was interesting.

Really disappointed with the service here. Came in today to pick up bentos I had ordered directly from this yelp page through grubhub. Went into the establishment & let the two girls at the counter know I was picking up & immediately was met with confusion. They looked at each other & told me there's no way I could have ordered because they stopped serving bentos a month ago. I was not mad they discontinued the item, I was upset I didn't get an apology for making me drive all the way there instead of a phone call telling me they don't do bentos anymore. The man that seemed to be the manager on duty was also very dismissive & basically told me he couldn't help me & walked away from me. After being treated this way I don't think I will be back. That being said the food is delicious here & the restaurant itself is a cool concept.

Dang this place is good but expensive! Friendly staff, very attentive. Really cool inside and a booth you can take pictures in! Get the premium menu and get a lot of the shortrib it's really good and worth it, only $3 extra! Their steamed egg is also really good Was not a fan of the pork belly and rice paper and ramen though. Also the time limit is pretty short. It was the first time I actually hit it Nessie took really good care of us. Good looking waiter bringing me meat is a 10/10 night

Ok food. Service was great. The grills needed changing constantly and were only cooking in the center. The vent was recommended to be placed 10 inches away so you would block the view of other people. Came by with a party of 7 at 6:30pm on a Friday night. It took more than 1 hour to get seated. There is a large waiting area with Pac-Man (free) and cues, but we just sat and waited. Food-wise nothing stood out. We had the premium menu. Kimchi was not an automatic banchan. The rib fingers had a lot of fat on them so they were a bit hard to chew. The spicy pork was good, thinnnn, but really spicy and red! Most of the meats we got off premium menu were on the sweet side. Smell after was awful.

I love this place. I usually go for the cheaper option and get tons and tons of beef tongue. I love the kimchi fried rice, and steamed egg, they have great side dishes like the pancake and the glass noodles. There are a couple of items that have limited selection, but I normally don't select those. Everytime I go, service is great and super fast. The only drawback is they have no dessert options.

Holy wow the service here is amazing. I was so impressed at how quickly the food came, the grill was changed, the waiters coming over to check up on us. Was pretty amazing. All in all a great experience and the food quality was good too. Price for the deluxe was $36.99 and there were plenty of parking in the lot.

IIRC TK92 is part of a group and is authentic KBBQ. I came here when it first opened and like 3 more times after, one being very recent. This place was one of the more pricey KBBQ places in the area and also gets crowded. The location isn't great as the plaza is tight and limited in parking. I felt the quality was better when it first opened. A lot of restaurants will send in their flagship chefs/servers when they first open and then later on pass it to less experienced or new hires. The vibe here definitely feels a lot more American compared to their start and not as finely tuned. However, this is still one of the better kbbq spot in Alhambra. The most important factor first: Meat quality Pretty good. I remember it being amazing the first time I came but perhaps I'm just jaded now with so many places serving ungraded/graded wagyu, A5 wagyu, prime cuts, farm fresh/local sourced, etc. If you like meat, the quality is good and will satisfy. Even if you're picky, I think there isn't a lot to complain for AYCE of this quality to price. Next: Side dishes/Other Menu Items They're solid. I think the quality may have changed a little. As I mentioned, some places start with flagship chefs and eventually they have others take over who follow recipe rather than know the taste and nuances. But at least the dishes are followed authentically. Service: Mixed. We've had servers ignore our tables when we try to flag them or even ask "excuse me" as they pass by, but also some that were very helpful. It is a busy place, so I imagine some missed seeing us try to flag them and couldn't hear us from time to time due to the noise inside. Towards the latter half of our meal, they started frequenting us more to ask if we wanted additional orders or anything else, but the first half, we were passed by many times without checking in and some orders were forgotten or delayed quite a bit. Again, probably just because they're busy and tired, but I also didn't feel much enthusiasm or friendliness in some of their tone and body language. I am understanding in this and will never dock points off unless they're trying to fight me, but hearing something like a "be right there", "one moment", or "I'll get back to you" or a nod or some acknowledgment over being ignored; along with a more helpful tone/expression, will add to my experience and bump up the rating of my review. When it's busy, it's a hard job and some customers can suck and ruin your mood, but providing good service is something I consider when going between a 4 or 5 star rating. Price: Higher side but not by a lot and definitely worth it for the quality Interior: Interesting interior and decently spaced out tables. Seating felt standard and nothing particularly uncomfortable. Overall Thoughts: This is a better spot for KBBQ in Alhambra/San Gabriel and other nearby SGV cities. It's a bit more pricey but worth it; though it gets crowded with lines and wait times, and the parking and plaza sucks. Not as good as I remembered my first few times coming here but still solid food and quality.

Amazing! Definitely found my new go to KBBQ spot in the area. Got the deluxe and it was more than enough! LA galbi - limit of 2 pieces per person but honestly it was enough will all the other meats we ordered so didn't even notice the limit! Delicious! Beef belly - solid! Brisket - kind of tough, would not get again Thinly sliced pork belly - solid! Finger meat - waiter said it was chewy, so I appreciated the honesty and didn't order this. Although finger meat is chewy in all kbbq places Tofu soup - best I ever had Steamed egg - best I ever had Ramen - do not sleep on this! The broth is so flavorful and I'm adding this to the rotation! Kimchi fried rice - BOMB! They didn't have pork jowl and they said they have been out for a while now which was a huge bummer The interior is beautiful and large. Has a fun and quirky entrance. Plan to spend around $95 with tip, pricey but so worth it! Will be back!

Today was my fourth time coming to this place, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. Meats are decently priced, but banchan leaves much to be desired. Also, the place has been open for years but still serve drinks in cans... it's 2024, an all you can eat restaurant should have fountain drinks. Selling cans individually feels like I'm being nickled and dimed. I'm also not sure how they managed to do it, but the service was very lacking tonight. Three separate times I asked for either more banchan or other items and each time they never came. Once we paid, we waited about 15 mins before we had to remind the waiter to bring us back our card lol. The attached picture is a notice of an ownership change from June. If this has already occurred, it's not looking good.

Came here with a group of 6 and it was pretty solid all you can eat Krn bbq, they have a good vibe the space is big and well ventilated, which sometimes makes a big difference on your experience. We ordered brisket, beef belly and rib eye, egg soufflé and tofu egg soup. The meats were all very tender and went well with their dipping sauce. They also have a photo booth at the entrance, along with a display of fairly odd old antique furniture and bookshelves filled with anime books, some books not suited for children ;). The service was quick and parking was free easy in their free lot.

Came here on a whim because the other restaurant we were trying to go had over an hour wait time, and glad we chose this place over the other one. It was a nice surprise to see that the restaurant is themed after a 70s Korean robot movie called Robot TaeKwon V. The food here is all very delicious and the quality is really good for ayce. The side dishes were very flavorful, normally at ayce kbbq restaurants the side dishes are mediocre, but we throughly enjoyed each one. We mainly went for the beef, which was good and the soonduboo and steamed egg were also delicious. Staff are friendly, plenty of parking available, and affordable. Definitely coming back soon.

It's my party, I can cry if I want to! I don't care what people are saying, for the SGV area, this is the spot. It has the ambiance. It has the cool Japanese comic interior design. It has the variety of alcohol for ever person. It has the service. It has the quality meats! What more can you ask for, especially in the SGV area. You would typically need to go to the Korea town area to check all of these boxes. Let's talk about my two favorite things about this place: (1) The aged meat is a game changer. I don't know what happens to the meat when it gets aged, butbit will really make you think twice about ever eating, not aged meat ever again. Maybe the mighty god Gordon Ramsey himself comes to bless it. (2) Booze for days Assorted sojus, including flavored sojus and soju cocktails. Plethora of beers, including draft beers, bottles beers and Korean rice beers. Bottle service, red and white wines.

Damn! I felt like I was in a Kdrama because the atmosphere was legit! Service was awesome, servers were very attentive, helpful, and friendly. The food was great. Just a few of our favs: the galbi, thinly sliced pork belly, the kimchi fried rice, the steamed egg, marinated short ribs, and the variety of banchan offerings. Our group of seven thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience. Thank you to the staff! Note: completely forgot to snap photos and I'm so bummed but that just means I was so engrossed with the restaurant that I didn't even notice to take pictures! Will definitely put this place in our rotation whenever we travel to L.A.

Loved the Galbi and the Banchan! We ordered the Premium for the Galbi. All YOU can eat. Come hungry, leave happy. Wait Time was 45 minutes.

After working out my boyfriend and I enjoy treating ourselves out and although I have never been here , it wouldn't be my last. The service was fast and nice. We were greeted , questions were answered when we had any, recommendations were helpful from the staff and patience was appreciated. The meat quality is good , they have a lot of good options and portions were perfect. Flavor was great. The place itself is pretty big so there are plenty of seats , love how the plaza that it's in you can easily get dessert but also location wise there's dessert in every corner! I never came here during peak lunch or dinner hours so I wouldn't know what it's like when it's busy busy because my boyfriend and I always arrive when it's open so there's rarely anyone there yet but first impressions were great and would highly recommend to give it a try !

Meat was very very low quality. The music was so loud you couldn't talk to someone unless they were sitting right next to you or you wanted to yell. The service was ok, it was a busy night so everything came slowly.

We came here on a Friday and it was not too busy at all. Service was very attentive and we were offered more meats pretty often, which is always great! However, the quality of the foods were just okay. I can not even tell you what I enjoyed the most because it was hardly memorable. I want to assume because of the location, kimchi has to be asked for. Coming from downtown los angeles, the korean food scene is hard to beat. I was hoping this spot would be just as good but unfortunately it is not. Also, the flame from the grill cause so much smoke, my sister could not even sit on her side because it was all in her face.

Our FAVORITE KBBQ! The staff is so lovely, helpful, happy to answer questions or help cook if we need it. They are incredibly attentive and always show up to change the grill at the perfect time. We get the premium usually short rib, galbi, shrimp, pork belly, bulgogi, chicken, and a few others paired with kimchi fried rice, spicy ramen, and extra japchae! The fresh soju is my favorite it's so crisp and light and they have really decent wine options as well! Highly recommend if you want a casual KBBQ experience with fantastic food and great staff. If I had one piece of feedback personally, we always stay well within the table time limit but we usually ask for more time to order more meats several times because it's a lot in a very short window so we need a break.

Super good! The atmosphere was nice as well. Just be aware, when coming in with a big group to call ahead! It gives them time to prepare so you don't have to wait too long. Worth the wait tho! Food was as good as gens.

Been meaning to try TK92 for awhile and finally came on a Wednesday night for dinner when they were not busy so we got a table easily. First, great decor as where else can you get AYCE Korean BBQ with a big robot and giant clothes pins in the lobby? The inside is a big space and I'm told this place used to be a small movie theater? Food and service were good - check out my pics - and what I didn't realize until after the meal was that they didn't give us any kim chi or other spicy pickled veggies like radishes but from other pics on Yelp, they should have kim chi. Maybe they just ran out that night? But, we ate a lot of the fish cake side so we made up for it. I will be back and this is my new go to AYCE Korean BBQ place.

Trendy Korean bbq spot with fresh meat and side dishes. $36.99 for AYCE Deluxe which come with many premium meats and multiple sides.

The food here is delicious. TK92 is one of the better Korean Barbecue AYCE in this area since there's not many. The service was amazing and quick to bring out the food. The inside looks nice and clean. I would recommend coming here if you're in the area. Overall, good experience and will come back soon.

Saturday night around 730pm wait was an hour for 3 people. There's a really big waiting area with comfy couches and a Photo Booth. The actual dining area had lots of space and I didn't feel crowded like I usually do at other kbbq places despite it being busy. The meats were delicious we especially liked the beef tongue and I really like the LA Galbi and beef belly. The side dishes were also great. The steamed egg was so soft and fluffy perfectly cooked. I LOVED the cold noodles the veggies helped cut through the fatty meats and the sauce had a kick to it. They also have kimchi and sliced jalapeños you just have to ask for them separately. Servers were super attentive with grill changes and would check on us to make sure we put in our next order of meats when our table started to look empty. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Overall, I had a positive experience at this AYCE KBBQ eatery. The food was good (including the banchan set, which notably included green onion pancakes), the service was reasonably decent overall, and parking was easily obtained in the underground lot (none was available topside). The menu is two-tier. Interestingly, there is only a difference of $3 between the "Deluxe" (bottom) tier and "Premium" (upper) tier. My only complaint is that there was a conspicuously visible layer of plankton-looking oily film floating on the top of my drinking water when I poured some into my cup (which I had not yet begun to drink from) ... probably best to stick with canned/bottled beverages when dining here (this is the main reason I cannot award this restaurant 5 stars). P.S. I came here with a large party for a birthday, and I am pleased to note that we were not charged a cakeage fee.
