Woo Hyang Woo - Review - Koreatown - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Figuring out whichKoreatown KBBQ spot you are would have been a great BuzzFeed personality quiz back in the day. If you ended up with Woo Hyang Woo as your answer, it likely means you’re the type who likes to show off. The lantern lighting, smokeless grills, and thick slabs of beef fanned out on wooden boards at this fancier-than-average Korean barbecue spot on 6th Street make it a good option for impressing others, whether it’s your boss or family members who always want to go to steakhouses." - Cathy Park

The 16 Best Korean Barbecue Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Since K-pop group BTS put Woo Hyang Woo on the map, it’s made a name for itself as a Koreatown spot that takes meat quality seriously, only serving beef that’s either certified Black Angus, five-star grade Mishima Reserve American Wagyu, or USDA Prime. Most diners come for the signature prime or short rib tomahawk, a buttery and tender cut that is aged for over two weeks. But even their marinated short rib and beef brisket, which are available a la carte or in combos, are a step above competitors. Though Woo Hyang Woo definitely leans more upscale, dining here still makes for a fun and lively experience, with no shortage of beverage options. — Cathy Park" - Cathy Park

2 Stars – Disappointed with Both Food and Service Had dinner at Woo Hyang Woo tonight and unfortunately left pretty disappointed. The place looks nice and clean, and the prices are acceptable—we spent $117 for two people, which included: • 🥩 Marinated Short Ribs – $25 • 🥩 Prime Rib – $27 • 🐷 Premium Pork Belly – $35 • 🐄 Beef Tongue – $10 • 🥩 Prime Beef Brisket (half portion) – $5 • 🍺 1 Sapporo + 1 Asahi – $10 (❌ Parking was $15 with no validation) But that’s pretty much where the positives stop. The meat quality was underwhelming—some were dry and overcooked, and nothing really stood out in terms of flavor. For what we paid, we expected more than just “okay.” Service was the worst part. Our server had no energy, no explanation, and no interest in helping. He came to cook the meat without asking, and left it on the grill too long, ruining it. He looked like he didn’t want to be there at all. Honestly, if the staff are having a hard day, they should just stay home. There’s no need to show up and give customers that kind of attitude. We came in expecting a decent Korean BBQ experience. Instead, we got so-so meat and bad service. Won’t be returning.

i’ve been a LOT of korean bbqs — all over the states. but this is one of the best i’ve ever had. we got the marinated short ribs and boneless ribeye. the meats were so unbelievably tender. and the flavor profile was on point. the marinated short ribs had a subtle sweet flavor that wasn’t overpowering (the flaw in most galbi orders). and the ribeye was just perfectly melted into my mouth. mr. kim was our server and was so sweet! he cooked our order at the table and provided excellent service. would 100% be thinking about this place until i come back

I had a great experience at this Korean barbecue place! The food was absolutely delicious — everything was fresh and flavorful. The service was also very good; the staff were attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Their food is great. We got the Combo BTS. Best ribeye meat! And the service is superb!. The server, Mr. Kim was very nice and accommodating. Very great guy. Would surely recommend this to friends and family.

Came here for the first time to celebrate a birthday as kbbq brisket is one of her favorites. They have a $27.99 per person weekend/evening AYCE beef brisket special which includes an order of their soy pork spare ribs. (During the weekdays, they have the same special for lunch at $22.99 per person). The quality of the brisket was good. I think they use a prime cut. Alongside the meats, they served banchan including pickles, kim chee, potato salad, pickled radish/diakon and salad as well as a spicy soup. I think the banchan were okay (the salad has a bit of bitter lettuce stalk and the potato salad was just okay), but you come here for the meats and that did not disappoint. The interior is modern and clean, and the staff continued to check in with us and ordering more meat for us. Between two people, we had four plates of beef briskets for over an hour. They have a limit of 90 mins but on our weekend afternoon, it wasn't too busy and most groups were leaving around an hour. Parking is $10 at their lot (they include free parking for their weekday lunch) or it's $1/hr on the meter for two hours. Parking in the residential area can be difficult since it's at the heart of ktown but you might be lucky.

Service was good, and the restaurant itself was very clean. I was a bit disappointed by the portioning, The combo D was listed to feed 4 people but the meat portion brought out was laughably small for the $180 dollar cost. The pork jowl was a decent portion, but i just felt very underwhelmed by the amount of food. It’s disappointing because this was one of the first BBQ’s I came to after moving to LA and remember how good the food was a few years ago. Unfortunately, It seems like it has been hit by inflation and the rising cost of food. Still, the workers were friendly. I just wished the menu was more transparent regarding portioning. My wife weighs like 95 lbs and even she was still hungry after the meal. I don’t think you should spend $200 to feel hungry, for the money it’s better to perhaps eat elsewhere.

Had dinner at Woo Hyang Woo and overall it was a really solid experience. The meat was high quality, super tasty, and the staff was friendly and on top of things. The only downside was the grilled shrimp, it came out a bit overcooked and dry, which was disappointing compared to how good everything else was. Still, I’d definitely come back. Just hoping next time the shrimp gets the same love as the rest of the meal!

This kbbq experience was so good! The quality of the meat was hands down, one of my favorite in ktown. But what made this even better was the customer service! If I could give this place more stars, I would! 10/10 experience!

Genuinely the most delectable kbbq you will ever have in your life. The meat is juicy, the cheese pulls never fail, the ambiance is super chill, and the customer service is excellent (shoutout Alex). Went twice, will come again. PS: eat the soup. you will be transported into a new dimension.

This is a really nice, spacious restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. We tried the prime brisket and boneless short ribs. The quality of the meat didn't blow us away. The brisket was dry, and lacked flavor, and while the short ribs were much better than the brisket, I wouldn't say it was a prime cut. The prices are high for the quality which is more like something that you'd expect at an AYCE for $28.99. The restaurant was on the empty side at 2 pm on a Saturday, we didn't have to wait at all for a table. The server was attentive and engaging which we appreciated. This is our second time trying this kbbq spot in Koreatown and as the quality of the meat hasn't changed, I don't think we will give it another shot.

The place wasn't too small, which was good and there were many tables available. We arrived right when they opened and got seated immediately. Boneless Ribeye Steak Rice Bowl(8/10): The bowl was delicious! The meat was tender and nicely seasoned, but I feel like the only downside to the bowl was the ratio. I felt like there was more greens and rice, and there were only a few pieces of the steak. The soybean soup that came with the meal was my favorite! As for the sides, I enjoyed the kimchi very much! The kimchi was nicely fermented and had so much umami! Sausage(7/10): The sausage was dry and salty, but flavor is not bad. Service(10/10): Our server was fast and attentive. They were nice and friendly and nothing felt rushed. Overall, I would come again to try their KBBQ!

Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 This is almost five star restaurant. After let down of my usual spot I have decided to try this highly rated bbq spot. Parking was terrible as usual. I went with combo BTS. Restaurant wasn't busy the time that I went. Meat quality was great and it was cook by the servers. Everything went well, I just wish they would be more generous of side dishes. If they have their own parking lot I would give them 5 stars.

Came in for a lunch time so it was quiet. I enjoyed the cold noodles since it was hot. Meat was great. Service was quick and thoughtful. It's a medium space spot looking through the Main Street. So lunch time might be a bit bright. It picked up later after lunch so plan ahead.

We came here on a Friday night and to my surprise it wasn't busy at all. There were plenty of tables still open lol. Maybe because there's just so many kbbq options in ktown, but this place has high ratings so I did expect a wait. Luckily not! They have their own parking structure, which I saw it was $20 for parking. If you get it validated, it would be $10. So we were seated immediately. I do notice one thing about the restaurant is that the lighting is very dim haha. We ordered the BTS set menu and we ordered a short rib tomahawk. This is for a party of 4! Honestly, it was more than enough for me, but the boys at the table were able to finish it haha. From what I remembered, it came with bulgogi, brisket, etc. Honestly the meats in the BTS set menu were all very.. dry. Even though the server would cook it for us and it looks perfectly fine, they were all very dry? Also very tough. I'm not sure why the quality of these meats weren't that fantastic. I personally wouldn't choose the set menu here. Although the short rib tomahawk, is definitely the star of the show in my opinion. It was really juicy and tender, so soft! Flavors were very nice with it. I enjoyed all the sides (banchan) they had to offer. Servers were quick and efficient since they weren't too busy. So everything went very well! Just get the short rib tomahawk only.

I ordered Combo BTS and it includes Prime Beef Brisket, Pork Jowl, Prime Beef Bulgogi, Prime Boneless Ribeye with banchan dishes like kimchi, radish, salad, fruit salad, cucumbers. Food- delicious meat cuts, It was 5 out 5 for me, I liked all the meats from the combo. Service- they cook in front of you at your table and they give it to you when it is ready, great and fast service provided by the staff there. Ambiance- restaurant is clean with nice elevated decors and nice area to sit outside, no smell from cooking bbq- good ventilation, but parking is really bad around that area (4/5).

My little family loves Woo Hyang Woo. We have been coming here for years and although we do not get to come often just because it is a bit of a drive for us to come out to KTown from the SGV and it can get costly. If I can, I probably would want to come every darn weekend! However, I do feel like it's worth every dime. Every time we dine here, we totally remember why we love this spot. We have only been here for dinner but I know they are open for lunch and offers lunch specials. Meat quality is great, super tender and full of marble. Staff here are really nice and efficient. We have done al a cart and the combo before. I highly recommend the beef brisket Korean ramyun, steamed egg, our go to combo is the beef combo, and we like to add short rib tomahawk. Everything comes with banchan. The ambiance is perfect for friends, families, or couples as the place is lively but super comfortable and clean. Great customer service, I love that they cook for you and all I have to do is eat. This Yelper totally recommends this spot if you are looking for delicious Korean BBQ. You won't regret it! Tips: *Indoor and Outdoor seating available. *Restroom available. *Alcohol available. *Nearby paid parking lots or metered street parking. *Credit card accepted. *Staff speaks English, Korean, and some Spanish speaking staff is around as well.

Just came here for lunch with the hubby. We left feeling full, but we weren't too satisfied with this restaurant. We ordered off the a la carte menu and got the brisket, premium pork belly, short rib, and beef tongue. First off, the service was so so. The man who was serving our table seemed pretty rude and didn't talk much. I was a little confused at first because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do the cooking myself or not since he just put the brisket on the grill and walked away without saying anything. When the brisket was about to burn, I ended up cooking it myself. But he did come back to cook the beef tongue, pork belly, and short ribs for us. Also, he didn't let us know when the food was ready so our meat was burnt half the time. The quality of the meat was also not too good. For some odd reason, the brisket and beef tongue tasted really salty even when I didn't dip it in any sauce. I thought these were supposed to come unmarinated so the saltiness was a surprise. The music playing also was pretty confusing. We went from listening to a song from the wicked soundtrack, to Beyoncé, to kpop, to lady Gaga. They should just stick to one genre instead of playing on shuffle. For the price we paid, I was full but I feel like we could've gotten better service and better meat at any other Korean restaurant down the street.

overall solid spot for kbbq. i recommend ordering the beef combo for a variety of meats and it comes with kimchi fried rice, but my favorite of the night was the marinated short rib tomahawk. the sides also came with a soybean paste soup that was good too. there's a parking structure next to it, $20 but if you show your receipt they validate and it's $10

I'd been meaning to visit this place for the longest time and so glad we finally made it in. Instead of the AYCE brisket event, we ordered a tomahawk and a single order of brisket, which was a perfect amount of food for three adults and two children. The servers were attentive and kept our grill clean and drink stocked. We were seated near a window, which let us enjoy some people watching as we ate. A big plus, we did not leave the restaurant smelling like smoke! Knocked off a star due to lack of parking (which is expected for Ktown). Luckily, I live within walking distance but it took some strategic planning to figure out how to arrange for parking for my out-of-town guests

Woo Hyang Woo was amazing from start to finish. The staff was super polite, the meat was tender enough to make you question every other BBQ you've had, and those exhaust hoods? Absolute overachievers -- not a whiff of smoke in the air. I brought my little cousin, who has a severe peanut allergy, so we made it crystal clear: no peanuts. The owner totally got it and personally ordered dishes he knew were safe. He even checked in on us about five times during the meal. By the end, we were basically on a first-name basis. The food? Delicious. You can taste the high-end quality in every bite of meat. The atmosphere was lively but not chaotic -- just happy people enjoying great food. The music was the perfect volume, and yes, they played K-pop, which made the whole place feel like a music video I didn't know I was starring in. Loved it. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who likes great service, quality meat, and a smoke-free BBQ experience. Austin Yee

Went here for lunch and it was alright. The lunch bowls were market price - Prime Boneless Short Rib steak rice bowl (16), spicy pork bulgogi rice bowl (15). Not enough protein for the price, but not a terrible deal. It was sufficiently filling. The beef brisket soy bean soup (9.99) was a good size. The service was great, the interior was super clean and modern. But there's a lot of competition and there's not much that makes this place stand out. It's probably a better dinner spot. I'll give it another shot then!

It is truly a challenge to decide where to have KBBQ in LA's Koreatown! The universe was on our side this time- it was really late and restaurants either stopped accepting walk-ins or were wrapping up for the night. On a Friday night at Woo Hyang Woo, we come in at 12:15am! They gladly seated us right away and reminded us that last call was in 15 minutes. We placed our order at 12:25 and got our food at 12:30! Loved the vibe and their choice of music! The restaurant feels like a lounge and you don't feel overwhelmed by the bbq smoke. The service staff all worked super fast- even at the end of the night, and they never made us feel rushed! They come around to help cook your food and change the grills as much as possible! All the ban chan was delicious and fresh! At some places you can really tell the ban chan was sitting out for a long time. We order bulgolgi and beef brisket! The cheese add on is usually included with the bulgolgi, but they let us mix it with our brisket! GAME CHANGER! I honestly could have eaten only the brisket and cheese, and still give a 5 star rating! The beef brisket was tender, light and fatty! Cooked crispy is the best for me! Even at 1am, I didn't get food coma! That's how I know food is prepared with higher standards! Coming back for sure!

Just had the best kbbq experience iv ever had. Found this place on Yelp and I'm upset I didn't find them earlier. The prices are great, the food quality is amazing and the service is one of the best I have ever experienced. I am a ktown regular and have been to all the popular kbbq spots like quarters, brothers bbq, aghassi, origins etc. This place hands down smokes them out of the park. Shoutout to Say, Mr Kwon and Mr Kim for the amazing service. They cooked the meat for us and showed us the right combination of flavors with the side dishes to elevate the flavors. If you haven't been here, HURRY UP. Amazing ambiance and service. Literally the best experience iv ever had and will definitely be back with more people.

This is one of my favorite spots of their lunch special. The quality of the ingredients was excellent considering the bowl was only $15 and comes with a soup and three yummy side dishes. (Picked radish, kimchi and potato salad) The ambiance is cozy the wood paneling in the walls makes it feel elevated and warm. We sat at a sunny table.

If you're looking for a ton of good meat, very friendly service, great sides, and more meat, you've come to the right place. We were able to get in on a Sunday right when they opened without a wait and it got a little more busy but far from packed. The meat was succulent, tasty, and seemingly never-ending. Come hungry or be rolled out.

Woo Hyang Woo is a KBBQ spot in the heart of Koreantown Los Angeles. My friend really wanted to try this place out & I'm so glad she chose this spot for us to dine at on a Saturday evening! The food and protein quality was top-notch. I believe our set was the premium set & you can really taste the quality here ! We came at 3-4PM on a Saturday evening & it was so cool to me how they had happy hour for beers. I feel like most places only offer happy hour during weekdays... but it was a nice touch for them to offer it on a weekend :-) Food + service came out quickly.. as we were the only ones in the restaurant dining. The employees are so nice/kind and ensure that we are happy with our dining experience. They went above and beyond for us :-) Parking CAN be difficult to find.. since it is in the heart of ktown LA. However, we got super lucky and found parking on the street. Overall I give it 5 stars and would come back! :-) it was a bit on the pricier end but that's to be expected the the premium meats we ordered.

I absolutely adore this place, especially for their lunch special. I usually like ordering the Ribeye bowl because they cook it the perfect medium. It comes with a center of rice and a bed of chopped lettuce with a light sesame dressing. They provide an assortment of banchans with the bowl and a bonus of soybean radish soup filled with more meat. It's such a great deal for like around $16. If I could come here everyday for lunch, I definitely would. The place is super spacious and it's not overly packed in the morning/afternoons or at least for the times I've gone. I also really enjoy the music that they play too haha. The server we usually get is super chill but he's also very attentive. Just come here is all I'm saying.

I can't wait to go back. I love this restaurant! The seating is perfect for groups & getting to know people. The food is 10/10 whether you're ordering it cooked or making it yourself. The staff is super friendly & helpful with making your choices. The quality is excellent & I love their soju flavors. I believe we ordered enough to feed an army, so we ate like soldiers. We brought a cake to celebrate a birthday & they were so kind to store jt for us & bring it out with our plates when jt was time to sing the birthday song. We gave them what was left of our giant cake to share & they were so thankful & cool. I can't wait to come back & fill my belly! I wish I took more good pics, but I was too busy engorging myself!

Our 1st visit at Woo hyang woo was amazing! Place is known for premium meat quality and its atmosphere in the heart of K-town, also known for celebrities and K-pop idols visits like BTS.. so we decided to give it a try! We tried their combo BTS and the portion was almost perfect for our party of 3 because they had lots of side dishes and soup that came out with the combo! Service was great and they validated the parking, but we still had to pay $10 for the parking... other than that everything was perfect. We definitely look forward to try their famous tomahawk next time!!

Nice Korean BBQ place in the middle of Koreatown -- really pretty inside. But the service wasn't great, the appetizers were tiny, and the meat felt overpriced for what it was. Overall, it's okay for one visit, but I wouldn't go back again.

We got the Prime beef BbQ combo. None of the 4 items were prime quality. The brisket was very dry and not fatty at all. The rib eye was very small size and was obviously not prime at all. I Just think that if you advertise yourself to be a prime house, you should serve what's being advertised

I was in the LA area for Zumba in September 2024. My friend and I stayed in the Koreatown area of Los Angeles for hotel. A quick Yelp Search of nearby restaurants and Woo Hyang Woo showed up with "All You Can Eat" and "Wagyu". What was most interesting was the option for "Tomahawk Steak"! According to their website, Woo Hyang Woo stands for "Beef Scented House". Created in 2020 and focuses on the freshest ingredients for an "unforgettable premium Korean BBQ experience". My friend and I went for a late lunch (or linner, I suppose). Service was quick and easy. We tried their Tomahawk Steak, Cold Noodles, Beef Tartare BiBimBap, Eggs and Soju Cocktails. The "Tomahawk Steak" was to die for. We had the option of cooking it at the table or in the kitchen. We chose cooking in the kitchen and they brought it out in an iron skillet sizzling.

Wow, what a night! I returned last evening, and let me just say... this place hit the spot in every possible way! Truly a hidden gem that deserves all the praise. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the chill, stylish ambiance..clean, welcoming, and paired with a music playlist that set the perfect vibe. The food? ordered the combo beef, Incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Every bite was a reminder of why I came back. And the service..Hwanhee and Jaewoo were nothing short of phenomenal. Attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special. What more could you ask for? I'm already looking forward to my next visit..especially to finally try the tomahawk! Highly recommend!

Loved the ambiance at Woo Hyang Woo -- definitely the highlight of the experience. The vibe is modern, stylish, and makes for a great night out. The kkot sal was just OKAY, a bit mid for the price, but the pork was solid and flavorful. Service was average overall, but shoutout to the busser/mechanic who chatted with us -- turns out he fixed all the grills recently! Super friendly and clearly hard-working. Honestly, he deserves a raise! Would come back for the atmosphere and pork, and hopefully more recognition for the behind-the-scenes MVPs.

Had a GREAT meal at Woo Hyang Woo. The meat was tender and full of flavor, and the side dishes were all fresh. Our server Alex was attentive and made the experience even better. Good food, good service! The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, perfect for a fun night out with friends or a casual date. If you're in Koreatown and craving authentic Korean BBQ, Woo Hyang Woo should be at the top of your list. Will definitely be coming back!!!!

Came from a 5 hour drive up North and was looking for a place to eat. Woo Hyang Woo was one of the few places that was still open late at night on a Holiday. Their service was amazing! We were greeted and seated right away. All the employees were very welcoming and accommodating. The restaurant was very clean and cozy. We did the Beef Combo and 1 cent Krush Drink deal. Our waiter cooked the meat for us and even placed some on our plate. He was quite funny, he was joking around while serving us. He even suggested which sauce/sides pairs well with each meat which was very sweet of him. Each recommendation of his helped enhanced the flavor. The Saero and Krush paired well with each other as well. Overall, our experience was really good. Woo Hyang Woo made it in our list of places we would visit again.

TL:DR - amazing; just go Parking - tough especially Friday and the weekend. There is a garage next door but tight and popular. Good luck Service - prompt and spot on. Water glass never empty. Ambiance - loud and crowded. Bustling and and alive. They cook your food at the table so be aware if you are thinking of other K-BBQ joints where you do it yourself. Not an issue. Food - stellar. Had the Combo Special which feeds 5-6. Spicy pork, rib eye were favorites but everything was great. Bottom line: super fun place for a group. Add some sides, beer and sake or soju and you have an awesome night in the making

Honestly, this place isn't good at all from food to service. Got a party of 5 for dinner at 7, and the staff were as hectic as can be when it wasn't even full. No one checked on us, so I had to get their attention to put an order in. Ordered the pork, ayce brisket, chicken, and tomahawk. The server recommended against the tomahawk, which was honestly suspicious. He recommended one below it, which would be served cut. He said it's the same, although it's was significantly cheaper. We still went for the original tomahawk anyway. Brisket was pretty bottom tier quality - $25 ayce so expected. Chicken and pork were definitely the best. Now..the tomahawk. As you can see the picture, I've never had this served this way. The bone is a dinosaur bone, but there's absolutely no way the thin pieces come from it. You'd be so naive to believe that cut came from that bone. Absolute scam, but I didn't mention it'. This is why they recommended against it..but at least be honest. Typical Korean restaurant garbage type behavior. Btw, you can tell a 5 yr old butchered and cooked the meat to absolute trash. You won't see me back again, no will many of my friends. Do better.

We came here on a Sunday night looking for some good Asian food in LA and were amazed by both the service and the food. My boyfriend and I got the beef combo for around $92, and we were absolutely stuffed. The service was incredible because they cooked our food right at the table and even chatted with us about things we had in common. All of the staff went above and beyond, especially Alex, who really made our experience memorable. It was about three-fifths full when we came in, but the staff still stayed on top of other tables to cook their meat as well. The atmosphere was not loud at all, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

What a great first time experience eating here. Me and friends were supposed to eat at another kbbq but they were hour long wait so we stumbled upon this place with no wait time! We were greeted by our Waiter named Alex who gave some of great recommendations on what to order. We ordered the tomahawk which was amazing but the real game changer was the prime bulgogi which was BEYOND AMAZING! Best i have ever had in my life! Came all the way from the bay area and will come all the way back to eat at this spot ! Alex you're the best! Thanks for the excellent service!

I found plastic inside my soup. Didn't want to continue eating after. Still charged me full price for my meal. Waiter just told me not to tip and tried to offer me lemonade.. :/

We had an incredible meal here. The waiters were happy to recommend dishes. Didn't' let us over order. They even took care of the cooking. We ordered a set meal for four plus spicy pork bulgogi and rice. The sides - salad, potato salad, radish, cold noodle, kimchi - were all delicious and refilled often. The meat was fresh and portions were huge. I was sad to see the restaurant was not busy. This place deserves more love.

10/10 experience with our party of 10- our server Alex helped us pick a good variety of meat and other dishes. 5 girls shared a short rib tomahawk and 2 marinated galbi orders, and felt plenty full. The sides are so delicious and the mix of marinated and non marinated meats was a good balance. If you have a large party, would highly recommend to make a reservation and enjoy good food and drinks! The main dining area is busy but not too crazy compared to other kbbq areas. The restaurant is open layout seating with a mix of young adults and families.

Of course I'm here because BTS had dined here years ago, but my god, the food is divine, so I completely understand why they came! We must have beat the rush since we had no wait for a table for two on Sunday at 5 pm (the place started filling up around 5:45 pm). They have an unlimited brisket promotion going on right now for $24.99 per person, so we couldn't pass that up. Woo Hyang Woo's signature item is their tomahawk, so even though we were going to have AYCE brisket, we had to get the tomahawk as well. I went with recommendations from other Yelp reviews and got the small prime tomahawk ($130) and also added kimchi fried rice ($10). We were given some banchan (kimchi, pickled cucumber, potato salad, and salad) as well as rice paper, radish wraps, and soybean soup. The tomahawk comes sizzling in a cast iron plate, with onions and zucchini. The servers will cook the pieces, slice up the remaining meat off the bone, and start you off with a little of the cooked meat. The plate keeps the meat sizzling hot for a bit and man, is it gooood! I only ate a few pieces so that I can save room for the unlimited plates of brisket and took the rest home to enjoy the next day with my remaining kimchi fried rice. The kimchi fried rice comes in those metal tins reminisant of Korean school lunches (as I've seen in kdramas lol) and had just the right amount of spice and savor to go with the meat. What I was very impressed by, other than the tomahawk but that was somewhat expected, was the quality of the brisket. I was expecting the AYCE type of quality, but Woo Hyang Woo is serving one of the leanest plates of brisket I've ever had! We went through six and a half (yes, towards the end we wanted a little bit more but couldn't do a full plate) plates and each plate's quality remained the same: lean with just a little bit of fat. The slices weren't thin like other Korean barbecue spots either! I hope they keep this promotion in place when we come back for our next visit because they had the best brisket I've had in a long time! There's enough room inside for small and large groups. The playlist that night was a mix of k-pop and late 90s/early 00s pop. Service was pretty good too. They changed our grill several times and refilled our water without us having to flag anyone down and it wasn't too hard to put in our next order of brisket. There's a parking structure next door, but we opted to go hunt for street parking. Just mind the signs to make sure you're not parking in a permit only zone or in a spot with a certain hour limit.

Easily the worst Korean BBQ experience I've had in Koreatown in 16 years of living in LA. Arrived with my wife and son. Place was dead. My son is four. He only eats rice. We ordered him a bowl of rice for $1, and two all you can eat brisket options. Server brings the kimchi. I tell him I'm going to eat about 10 of these size portions, can he bring more? No. Only all you can eat brisket. Sorry. Ohhhhhhhh k‍‍‍ Meat was tasteless. And poor quality. Drowned it in sauce to save it. Server brings the bill...guy charging me $6 for my son to sit at the same table as my wife and I while we eat. Says thats the rule. Everyone at the table has to do all you can eat. What a joke. 50 better options within 3 miles. Avoid.
