Wi Korean BBQ

It was a decent BBQ experience. I would recommend Gen Korean BBQ over this, I picked this place as Gen was 40 mins drive from Downtown. Overall a decent option. We paid $39.99 per person. Kids over 7 yr old are full price just like an adult which was surprising for me as kids barely eat enough.

We were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful service, food, and reasonable prices at Wi. They put a lot of thought into the food, down to the Wi brand on the king mushrooms. Also, such a great idea to have the menu in large pictures on the wall next to you. We chose Special C ($40 at the time of this post) and loved the Wagyu Beef Belly, LA Galbi, Woo the Galbi (tasted like tender steak), and King Mushrooms. The homemade cocktails were delicious and well-presented with a smoke bubble on top. I can't say enough about the service, so many friendly servers always around to ask if we needed something, helping to cook, and giving their recommendations on what to eat next. On top of it all, they had free parking right in front, and the lot was guarded (we even got spots at 7pm on Saturday).

Reasonable pricing! We got Menu C because it offers so many different options! They have all the classic choices and higher quality cuts that I was excited to try. Our server was very friendly and helpful he gave us different sauces to try. This is definitely going to be in my list of favourite places to go!

One of my favorite bbq spots! Cost: more competitively priced than other AYCE kbbq spots Options: get the marinated rib finger! Super tender. I like how this place offers fried rice at the end Service: really friendly host and fast service Atmosphere: fun and cozy! Good for groups

Food is absolutely delicious and service is top notch. All the cuts of meats were scrumptiously marinated and so tender! All of the staff were super friendly, from the start to the end. They were also super helpful with grilling meat. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting LA- 10/10 experience!

The variety of items at Wi Korean BBQ is great. We decided to get the B special which had everything we wanted and more! The service was great, and we went around 6:30 on a Sunday and it was lively but not too busy. Hope to come back soon!

Affordable Korean BBQ, the staff was good. We went in for late lunch around 2.55. There is nowhere it says that dinner starts at 3 pm on weekends/holidays. So we got charged for dinner. Make sure to check your bill. I enjoyed the marinated beef, spicy pork bulgogi, beef bulgogi. Everything had a sweet aftertaste to it with the marination. Even though there were not many people, we had to call the waitress multiple times to get her attention. The parking was tough, they have limited spots available and the you just have to wait for someone to leave or park in the near by streets. I will not be going here again.

The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere and is very clean. The food is phenomenal and provides top quality meat that is sure to impress. I enjoyed the service I received in my last 2 visits here and reccomend option #C for their AYCE options. You'll have an opportunity to taste #34, #36, #37 which are limited to 1 plate per 2 customers dining in a party 😋😋😋

Customer service and food is amazing!!! Will be coming back!!! Bring someone on their birthday, amazing!!!

The food is fantastic! I'd encourage everyone to come here if it is your birthday because they do it better than ANYONE!

Amazing food great service good vibes. I love going here with my friends and drinking beer and soju.

Wi Korean BBQ exceeded my expectations! We went with a group of 8 to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, and the experience was top-notch. The meats were all excellent, but the standout items for me were the wagyu beef belly, marinated brisket, and marinated pork belly--such high-quality cuts! I loved that they did most of the cooking for us, which made it easy to enjoy the meal without the hassle. The service was incredibly attentive, with staff checking in on us every few minutes, which was impressive given how large our group was. To top it all off, they sang happy birthday to my girlfriend and even brought her a small gift, making the night even more special. Great food, great service, and an unforgettable experience!

This place is an absolute gem! Hands down the best Korean BBQ experience I've ever had. From the moment we walked in, the service was amazing. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly, always making sure we were well taken care of. They even help cook the meat for you, which is a huge plus. Sometimes they'll cook everything themselves so you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the meal. The meat comes out so fast, always fresh, and the flavors are just out of this world. Each bite was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor--it's clear they use high-quality ingredients. What really sets this place apart is the way they make you feel like a VIP. It was my friend's birthday, and let me tell you, their birthday surprise is unlike anything I've ever seen! They dim the lights, sing, and put on a whole light show, giving you a light stick to join in the fun. Then they top it off with a cute, delicious dessert--such a thoughtful touch! It's the little details here that make all the difference. The atmosphere is homey and cozy enough for a relaxed meal. If you're looking for a place with outstanding food, quick service, and a unique dining experience, this is the spot. I'll definitely be coming back!

This used to be my favorite kbbq spot but I think there's new management so things have changed... not in a good way either. I rated this place 5 stars my first review and have been back multiple times since then, no complaints until tonight. (Also I was reading other 1 star reviews and the owner responds so rudely... yikes) I enjoy being able to cook my own meat how I like it but I guess the waitresses don't. The lady kept coming to our table to move our meat and took our pork belly OFF the grill(as you can see in the pic) she didn't even say anything at all, she just moved the meat around and took the pork belly off and left lol. I'm used to waiters coming now and then to cut the meat and all but this time it was excessive, like they were so quick to get you out. There were two waitresses helping our table and they both kept flipping the meat when it was JUST flipped. There was also a waiter that kept moving our sides... He really wanted them placed a certain way and it wasn't convenient for us... I'm cool with where they're at dude lol. Other thing was we ordered a Coke and Sprite and didn't realize it was a Pepsi and Starry until we saw the soda fountain, which is fine, but it would've been nice if they informed us. Eat here only if you want to be rushed and constantly have hands in your face while you eat.

Location is a small plaza and parking is vary very limited. Establishment is small but very busy as we came in on Saturday night. A popular place as all kinds of people were here. It is very loud so don't expect to have a quiet meal.....I mean really loud as you almost have to scream at each other to have a conversation. They have 3 different menu and all priced accordingly. Mind you that you have to pay the highest tier to get unlimited #38, #39 and #40 which I think are the best cuts of meat. We tried ordering kimchi fried rice but they said we had to order and cook all the meat before they can cook it for us??? The food was good but the ambiance was the worst ever as they had about 30 or so college kids and were heavily drinking as well which turned into a shouting match. We could not enjoy dinner as one of the kids was even vaping inside and they all sat behind us. Worst dinner ever. I would give this place a 4 star had the kids not turned the restaurant into a bar. We had our 2 kids with us and the college folks had no care in the world as they were cussing and yelling throughout the night. It even came to the point my little 8 year old girl was covering her ears and my 9 year old son moved seats next to us in the corner just to get away but did not help. For sure I thought the staff would kick them out but nothing was done. The food was good but the am o was the worst we have experienced ever!

The premium all you can eat is $39 Thick cut steaks galore!! Service is AWESOME. Would definitely come back - low cost and quality, also really good sides. Happy camper here.

this is my first time here and I am very impressed. The parking situation is a little hard, but definitely worth it. The service is outstanding very attentive staff and very friendly. The prices are decent and the quality of the food was amazing. Everything was so fresh definitely coming back here. Great Korean barbecue spot by far.

Friends recommended. Combo C is perfect , and the number 29 marinated woo the galbi is my favorite.

Came on a Saturday lunch 12:30pm. It wasn't busy, there was only two staff members present and we got seated near the side booths of the restaurant. Decoration was very wholesome, so many photos of customers on their birthdays! We ordered menu A, I usually prefer the usual brisket, pork belly, and any marinated meats (except chicken). They offer steamed egg as part of menu A which I am happy and definitely enjoyed it (but limit 1 per 2 persons). We also got their soybean soup and extra side dishes, potato salad and macaroni salad was amazing! We didn't get vegetable salad since it needs to be ordered. All the other side dishes were great as well, purple radish wraps were constantly being refilled. Unfortunately, I am taking a star off for waiting for meat... since it's one grill for the five of us, we were limited to only order three meats at a time and the staff was adamant they won't put in the order until we're done cooking all the meats ( probably to prevent raw meat from being exposed to room temperature too long). The problem was they forgot to put in the next order of meats a few times after we were done eating. The grill was burning a lot and empty for the most part. We were mostly sitting and waiting and since asking them more than once shouldn't be necessary we had to ask a few times especially for water refills since we were munching on the side dishes a lot. A new staff joined in the middle of service but then we still had to remind them of our order. So another star out ... After all that it was roughly 3pm and we decided to just ask for a check. I think we ate well but not as much as we wanted but we did get full on the sides more (which isn't the goal of kbbq...). Restrooms were nice and clean, gendered and multi stalls (2) in the back. Maybe next time it will be better and we can fill up on meat more!

When I wrote my first review about Wi, I did not realize how often I would actually come back. In the few years since I have discovered Wi, I have come back A LOT. Along with my loved ones, I have celebrated many birthdays, took many study breaks, had food-filling pick me ups, and many more core memories at Wi. Every single person I have brought to Wi has LOVED it. Towards the end of my time going to college, I felt that I was going to Wi almost every other week. Now, every time I come back to visit LA, I always try to stop by. As if this place could get any better, there have been some additions to the menu. On top of that, it feels as though birthday celebration for guests only gets better and more extravagant as time goes on. However, some things have remained consistent throughout the years. The service remains top tier, with the owner and other workers being very attentive and caring. I could go on and on about how much I love Wi. I love the atmosphere which makes me feel at home and I love the quality of the food I am eating. Wi is underrated and I can't wait for more people to discover it.

Amazing Korean bbq! Service was super attentive. Everybody was so friendly. Ambiance is great! My personal meat favorites were #1 and #15! Great value and vibes! Side note - there's complimentary parking which is a huge plus! But there are only one way exits and entrances so make sure your navigation doesn't take you through the exit to avoid tire punctures!!!

After spending so many years in the greater LA area, I figured it was time to finally have proper KBBQ. With some extensive research, I ultimately decided on Wi for the great value that everyone seems to talk about. We came around 5:30-6 PM on Friday and got seated within 5 minutes. It definitely picks up later in the evening, so just keep that in mind. The space is clean and you can choose which "special" you'd like. Keep in mind, the portions for each dish are MASSIVE. It was honestly a little tough for just two people, but I think it would be great to come with a larger group so that you can try more. Customer service was also excellent! Our server would come and try to help us cook the meat whenever he could. We really appreciated all of his help. The banchan is also solid. There's a parking lot but it can get filled up pretty quickly, so prepare to circle around the streets. Typical Ktown, but not as bad as some areas. You can't beat the value here!

you can't go to LA without getting kbbq! for the price, convenience (parking lot accessible), and great service i would definitely recommend you stop by if you can! i only got the B tier for lunch but next time I would get the C tier since the options seemed a lot more attractive (LA galbi, beef tongue, premium meats). i came at 3 PM on a Saturday and there was no wait since it was an off hour. the service was very fast and they're very nice! they cook the meats for you and give great recommendations. i've never tried the seasoned rib finger meat before but the server said it was one her favorites and i ended up really liking it!

The kbbq here was great! I was stuffed by the end. We came at around 4pm so there was no wait which was nice. All their cuts of meet are pretty good, and the servers helped us with grilling our meat at times :) I will say in terms of service, we had to ask quite a few times for some things, my friend didn't end up getting his water until halfway through our meal. Other than that I don't have any complaints. This is a great spot! Don't forget to order the kimchi fried rice at the end of your meal :D

Food was amazing and lots of options. The banchan sides were so good, especially the potato salad! We ordered set B and our total was around $50/person including tax and tip. Service was very attentive and there were lots of birthdays when we came.

We visited Wi at around 6:30 PM and waited only around 10-15 minutes to be seated as walk ins with no prior reservation. The parking was free and there were several spots available in the plaza when we arrived. The restaurant and restrooms were clean and well maintained. Our table ordered 4 Plan Cs. FOOD: My personal favorite meat was the LA Galbi which was marinated in a sweet salty sauce. Another table favorite was the Wagyu Beef Belly which was fatty and thinly sliced. I recommend crisping it up. The BTS Special was also made very well with a sour and spicy sauce and heaping portions. The boneless short rib was a bit tough but it came with a huge king mushroom and onion slices. The beef tongue was also a little tough but it was probably because we overcooked it. The chicken bulgogi was well seasoned but a little thickly sliced. Overall, the meat quality was wonderful. The sides were also delicious with the kimchi, bean sprouts and macaroni salad being great appetizers. SERVICE: The highlight of the visit was definitely the service. Our servers were attentive and cooked the meat for us, checking in at regular intervals to take more meat orders and answering questions. They also refilled our sides and water consistently even without asking. There was a birthday in the restaurant when we visited and they turned off the lights and sang them happy birthday! It really made the experience special and a very fun one. Overall, our experience was very positive. The value was great and the food was high portion and good quality. The servers were amazing and elevated the experience. Definitely recommend checking out for good value and great experience!

Super solid Korean bbq! Came here on a holiday Monday expecting a long wait and they were super prompt and seated our big group of 6 within 15 mins! Service is super great and very quick! Menu is great and very affordable for the quality! And we came in for a belated birthday celebration and they were SO much fun celebrating us! What a great night!!! We will definitely be back!!

Short: A solid kbbq for a good price. I enjoyed my time here and the service was friendly and attentive. Only disappointment was the side dishes were not the greatest. The meats were solid. My friend and I went for option 1 or A, and the selection had all the classics! Spicy pork bulgolgi was the best and then the classic beef bulgolgi! Side dishes were pretty average, best being the potato salad / mac salad. This places makes you feel at home and tries to provide the best service possible. They even do special things for birthdays! If one thing was wrong or needed help they are willing to help.

My friend and I arrived at about 8:20 pm and got seated at around 9:10 pm. We read great thing about this place so we were excited to try it. The food didn't disappoint but we will not be returning due to the service. While still eating the meat we had on the grill, we got asked about 5 times if we would be ordering more, and w e kindly declined since we were still eating what we had. At about 10:20 one of the servers came to our table and stated "I don't mean to interrupt but we have a line waiting outside", we quickly paid and left and saw that there was literally NO ONE outside. The worst part is that we had been there for an hour and their menu clearly stated that there is a two hour maximum. Not sure if they were profiling but it sure felt like it.

Needed a place to host a bunch of people for my own birthday dinner that would avoid the need to figure out checks. As much as I not a big AYCE KBBQ person anymore, AYCE KBBQ honestly made the most sense. Called Wi Korean BBQ and they told me that they could host a party of 10+ people, so I made it happen here! Of course, you need to order Combo C. At $39.99, it's pretty affordable for AYCE KBBQ! Honestly, for being AYCE, I thought the quality was pretty good. My favorite meats were the Prime Steak, Beef Short Rib LA, Prime Boneless Short Rib, Regular Pork Belly, and Wagyu Beef Belly. But honestly, you can't miss with any of the meats here. Staff here were fantastic! They were extremely welcoming when we got there. Had to go through the obligatory birthday song at KBBQ, but they actually handed us glow sticks while the song was going on so that was cool. And they took a Polaroid of us that they're keeping at the restaurant. Great service for sure. There is a parking lot outside, and shockingly for Ktown it is not valet. But it does get tight as it's not the biggest parking lot. Wi definitely gets AYCE KBBQ right! Especially loved how clean it is in here too. Definitely wouldn't mind coming back if I was in the mood for it.i

Really love WiKBBQ! The quality of the meat is consistent! Plus the warmth that the ambiance gives. This place is near USC and the fave of our daughter as well as her friends. Customer service is superb! So, another plus factor. Great food and customer service- it is a win-win! Yorran is very professional and friendly. Also, pricing is reasonable. Our family's fave KBBQ place!

Super authentic, no BS kbbq spot! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but stepping into Wi you're getting the full experience. They have a waitlist because I imagine it gets busy but we were sat immediately. The servers were awesome! Super helpful and silly, always helping us grill or changing grills when it made sense. We got the most expensive package and all of the meat was super high quality! I would skip on any of the overly saucey picks, but the marinated meats are awesome and highly recommend the short rib! We will definitely be back here for kbbq

We were craving good kbbq but our usual place is closed on Sundays. We took to Yelp and found this little gem. It's in a spacious shopping center and as soon as you walk in there's lots to see. We were seated quickly and the servers are very fast and attentive. The meat quality is very good and I'm very happy to have come in. This will be my new place when I'm craving on a Sunday.

Wi Korean BBQ is my friends' tried and true kbbq spot in Koreatown. It's just honest, good kbbq with a pretty good variety of protein choices. The employees are always courteous and quick to help. Interior is clean and cozy! There's a small parking lot outside but I highly recommend carpooling if possible because it's usually packed. The meat quality is pretty decent for what you pay and the side dishes are great! Our favorites is going with Special C and getting boneless short rib, beef prime steak, beef tongue, wagyu beef belly, LA galbi, calamari, pork jowl, and pork belly.

My girlfriends and I wanted to try this place and via the list of meats and desired banchan, decided on Combo C. What a deal for under $40! This place has GREAT service in addition to great prices and was packed at 6:30pm on a Friday. It was lively and loud, what I generally don't like about going out to eat, but it was balanced by the great food, great prices and service! We were quite pleased and will return. My favorite meats were the beef short ribs, beef rib finger, and sliced beef. Loved the steamed egg, too! I now make my eggs at home like that. The parking is tight but the attendant works hard to ensure you get a place to park.

Awesome AYCE in the heart of Korea town. We were a group of 14 and only place I found that accept reservations for big groups. Awesome selection of meats. Our favorites are the Wagyu beef belly and LA Galbi. Limited banchan but who cares when you would rather fill up on the good meat selection. Lastly, service is plus! Kudos to our lead staff, Paul and his peers. They took care of us nonstop the two hours we were there.

Walked in around 7pm on Saturday night. The restaurant was pretty crowded but our table of 4 was fortunate to have been seated in five minutes. Our server was fast/efficient but still patient. Took our meat orders super quick and in normal LA fashion, started grilling the meat for us. She even waited for us to take a cool flame shot of the corn cheese! I was a little disappointed that they didn't have lettuce to wrap, but am happy to report that they have rice paper! Overall the meat was pretty decent. I especially liked their wagyu belly, boneless short rib and galbi. One thing to note that was initially kind of fun but got a little inconvenient was the way they celebrate birthdays: turn out the lights throughout the restaurant to sing happy birthday with glowing lights. Cool until you're mid grill/cut hoping not to burn yourself by accident! Solid ayce Korean bbq joint especially coming from Northern California. Would happily come back!

Brian is the best server very polite and making sure our table was taken care off, the food is delicious and affordable . Thank you Brian for ur customer service really appreciate the whole staff for making a good bday memory for my brother

This establishment has everything your heart and mouth desires. The catering and service is top notch and the quality of the food is outstanding. Me and my friends greatly enjoyed our dinner here. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by!

Came on a Sunday one hour after opening. Parking was getting crowded. Amazing service. Got menu C. Food is delicious. All the galbis items 38, 39, & 40 were the tastiest. Kpop music ambiance. The cheer for someone's birthday is hilarious. Definitely worth coming again.

omg so good! the value here is crazy. Def coming back here for the woo galbi and black pink brisket :)

My current favorite KBBQ in LA. Great selection of meats/ quality. Please do yourself a favor and save room for the kimchi rice at the end of the meal!!!

This place was definitely worth it for the price! We got option B and look at all the food we got! Meat was good quality and service was great! Our server Ana helped us cook the food as well so we got to lay back and chill.

My absolute favorite kbbq place in LA. I always bring friends here whenever they are feeling like kbbq. The price is so reasonable for how amazing the meat quality is. My boyfriend and I love the BTS pork belly and the Blackpink Brisket. The service is always really great. They always change the grill whenever is gets charred. I love the grills too I think they're really cute. I can't recommend this place enough!

Summer's service was amazing and fast. The ambiance was very nice, little loud but just right for a friday night. all the food was amazing, great quality meat. MUST GO IF IN THE AREA :)

I've eaten here several times for my birthdays. Last year I ate here for my birthday and my wife's birthday. We even have a little Polaroid photo of our group posted on our refrigerator. These meats are delicious and the bonchan's are wonderful here. The sauces though, they have the best sauces for the meat. We like the galbi version so we always go for the most expensive version. But even that is not that expensive compared to other places. The service is great and the overall atmosphere is fun. Definitely recommend this place !!

Came here 7pm on Saturday night and there is already a line out the door. Food is amazing. You have to order off the premium menu or else is just solid but nothing special. The marinated short ribs are incredible. It's too bad they put a limit on them or else that is all I would get. Tongue is excellent and so is the dark pink brisket. Service is quick too. They also have a fun vibe and do cool birthday celebrations. Definitely purely my go to kbbq and even better than many non-ayce.

My go to Kbbq spot in LA! Quality meats and side dishes. The food is priced perfectly. The service staff is friendly and professional. The ambiance is loud and busy but that is to be expected with places like this. You can always expect to leave completely full and quite happy.

Service was good! Ambience is fun if you have a big group but as a die hard Korean bbq fan, the meat is not it here. 1, 9, 17 were the meats we got this time. 1. The brisket...it's good, but nothing special. 9. Pork Belly...eh. I've had better 17. Marinated Rib Fingers...surprisingly the best thing we had. Corn cheese is a skip!! Probably won't be back, but the servers were very nice. Especially since the two guys behind us walked out without paying their check.

One of the best KBBQ in LA , Everytime I'm in the area this is the go to spot , good food , One of the best Service Excellent Ambiance !!!!!!

Really solid place in a busy area of Ktown. Be sure to come early! We came when they first opened and there was a line, but being the first there, we were the first in and got served quickly. The staff was attentive and the food was pretty great quality for the price point. The restaurant was clean, bright, had standard chairs (vs the can storage chairs). Nice new place to check out. The bulgolgi and pork belly might've been my favorite parts of this menu even though chadol is usually my go to at other kbbq places!

Highly recommended AYCE. They have 4 tiers of AYCE. We had the C, personally is the best deal. Meat quality was great. Our favorite is the LA galbi, beef tongue, wagyu belly. Service is attentive. Walk-in only, but they have 2 hrs limit, so time your arrival accordingly.

Food and service is top notch. Very knowledgeable and happy staff. Answered all our questions in great detail. Variety of choices of proteins and very delicious sides (plus they have steamed egg!!!) Will definitely be back. 5 out of 5 stars!!

Great service and lots of variety. Meats and seafood. Korean beer Cass CAS says was OK. We prefer Sapporo Japanese. Great place to celebrate your birthday because they entertain you they turn off the lights, flash, the lights and sing happy birthday.

Wi KBBQ is a solid AYCE option on the outer edge KTown. They have by far the most attentive staff I've ever been to in K-Town. Prices are slightly high but M-F 12-4 they have a lunch discount, bringing it to $28 for Special A per person. They have their own lot that can br packed but makes parking doable. For a Friday afternoon it was fairly spacious with no wait. My favorite part of the food was surprisingly their bean sprouts. In comparison to most places, they actually add a little more spice. I got at least 4 bowls. Beef brisket, slice pork belly, and steamed egg were good. Unfortunately did not realize beef belly is only a part of Special C, which is $36 for lunch/$40 for dinner. But I'd be interested to go for B or C as their choices look solid. Overall 8/10.

Today, my husband and I got to try this all you can eat Korean bbq. It was bomb. We got combo c and we could barely get through all the food options. The service here is impeccable. They're always on top of everything and willing to help you. Great choice korea town amc w will definitely come back.

I love this Place! Everything tastes so amazing, especially recommend the ribs. Great Vibes! Waiters and waitresses are very friendly! Service is fast and efficient !!! The new cocktails I've tried so far are to die for! Very refreshing and perfect for this summer! Got one mango and the other yogurtloco! Great experience over all!!!
