Our go-to Korean BBQ spot near LA. We make it a point to visit Baekjeong every time we’re in town. The meat quality is top-notch, the flavors are authentic, and the energy is always lively. If you’re craving real Korean BBQ, this place never disappoints.

One of the best Korean BBQ experiences. We had a large group and 2 kids that came to dinner. Didn’t need a reservation and they sat us fairly quickly. The service was great! I really like that they cook all the food for you at the table, rather than letting you do it like in some places. All the food was explained and they gave suggestion on what to combine it with. All the cuts of meet tasted great and felt like quality meat. Great atmosphere and overall a fantastic experience.

I had the pleasure of dining at this KBBQ restaurant, and it exceeded my expectations! The service was impressively fast and attentive, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. The side dishes were excellent, offering a diverse selection that paired perfectly with the main dishes. The rice paper was spot on, soft, chewy, and just the right texture. The highlight, though, was the meat. The quality was outstanding, especially when grilled over charcoal. Each bite was infused with that rich, smoky flavor that takes barbecue to the next level.

We got the set meal and it was a lot for 2 people so probably could satisfy 3 people. Meat was fresh and tender, seafood pancake was also amazing with nice texture and consistency. Our server, Tifanny was also really sweet.

It's pricey compared to other places but food does taste fresher and specially service are above other places. Our server was amazing, he cooked all our meat, cut it and changed the grills. Didn't know there were different types of grills. We ordered a combo for two and it was great to taste the different meats. Will order by plate next time. We were served egg and corn cheese which cooked on the side of our grill. Not super kid friendly but they were really accommodating to a toddler and a baby in carseat

The quality of food is excellent, it's definitely a better KBBQ experience compared to some of the other AYCE chains. We made our reservations via Resy which is convenient. We arrived early and were seated right away. Several reasons why we enjoyed this restaurant, less smokes and loud music, and the staff cooks the meats for you hence there's less stress of over our under cooking. We ordered the Beef Combo, we asked the waiter to slow down the cooking because we couldn't keep up with his pace. Another reason we like Baekjong is the corn and eggs cooked directly on the griddle in front of us. The banchan small dishes are also very good, and they will be replenished if you ask for more. The staff is doing a great job cooking, but we get the feeling he probably didn't want to be there. We didn't get 1 smile from any of the staff, which is fine with us.

I have been coming to this place for over 10 years and have always been a loyal fan. However, I was quite disappointed with the meat quality during my recent visit. While the meat in the combo was okay, the Beef Tongue we ordered separately was unfortunately very tough and chewy. Considering the price, it definitely didn't feel worth the extra cost this time. On the bright side, the service remains fast and attentive. Also, the corn cheese and steamed eggs served on the side never fail to make my kids happy. I truly hope the meat quality returns to the high standard it used to have so we can continue to enjoy our family dinners here.

Good waiters / cooks very observant and fast when it comes to refills on side dishes and water. Walked right in, no problem. Would definitely comeback to this place again

This is a good place to go to for some good quality meat but it is pricier than some other Korean bbq restaurants especially since it is NOT an AYCE restaurant. The portions are reasonable but not great. I went with a party of 7 and we ordered 2 large beef combos, 1 large Pork combo, and the Brisket Cast Iron Stir Fried Rice (minimum portion for 2 people) and we all left satisfied but not extremely full. Honestly, if it wasn't for the fried rice we ordered, we would have left sated but not full. Needless to say, there were no leftovers. I will say that I can throw down when it comes to bbq so my opinion on the portion size may be a little skewed. Also, being that there are so many AYCE Korean bbq restaurants where I leave very full, my expectations may be a little different. The quality of meat is good and the service is quick and efficient. Unlike AYCE restaurants, the servers cook the food for you at the table. You really don't have to do anything but enjoy. The Brisket Cast Iron Stir Fried Rice with Truffle Oil was good but I thought that it could use a lot more truffle oil. It barely had a hint of the Truffle Oil and mostly tasted like fried rice. I would not order this dish again especially for the price of $31!!! The sides are complimentary and can be reordered for free. I have been to other locations as well and so far, the food and service have been consistent. This restaurant is located in a large shopping center so parking is not an issue. Overall, this is a place I would go to again.

2024 Eats; OC #2, Korean #5: second time coming here and mostly same opinion as my first experience (except prices have gone up #inflation). We ordered samgyeopsal (삼겹살, $37), marinated short ribs (꽃살 냠냠, $49), and yuhkoe (육회, $23) to start. We then added an order of boneless short ribs (꽃살* $56), and went through three bottles of soju throughout the meal $15/ea (beers are $9/ea). The standout dish is definitely the boneless short ribs (꽃살). We ordered this both times here, and it did not disappoint either time. While it's far from cheap, you definitely get what you pay for. While the samgyeopsal was good, it's quite small in my opinion. Samgyeopsal and pork are quite inexpensive at the nearby H Mart, so I'd suggest just grilling it at home and focussing on beef if you want to come here. My FIL thought that samgyeopsal was too fatty (but that's a positive for me). Overall, I'd say the food is very good and high quality here. However, prices are starting to get pretty steep here IMO. Not sure what folks are ordering here to get out for <$50/person. Service wise, this place is a total roulette wheel. We had to ask our initial server for something multiple times before asking someone new. Our second server and person who cooked some of our food, Tiffany?, I think was very helpful and friendly and knew some Korean even though she isn't Korean. Our third waitress, like most folks here, looked stressed and couldn't be bothered. I can get past all of that, but it was very odd having our yukhoe come out after some of the meat was already cooked. We had to ask 3 times to confirm it was even ordered. Ambiance/vibe wise, this is where Baekjeong gets funky. The first time, we came on a weekday and waiting 1.5-2h to be seated as a party of six. By the time we got inside and seated, it was dark and music was bumping--it was like a club or lounge. This time, to avoid a long queue, we arrived around 5pm. We were seated immediately, it wasn't dark, and it wasn't yet a club. As we were wrapping up, the lights were dimmed and music was starting lol. Overall, if you want to go out for K BBQ, I can recommend coming here so long as you are aware of all of the above. The food quality is higher than that of Gangnam House @ The Source, but you will pay for it, have worse service, and potentially not be able to hear anything.

Our family loves coming here and been here several times. Ordering a la carte is so much better than all you can eat at times. You get what you pay for because it is more pricy but the quality is so much better. What’s even better is that the server cooks for you! I love all the sides that they offer which is unlimited and the corn cheese and egg that surrounds the grill. The fried rice lunch box is also must. It comes in a tin box that they shake and all the flavors mix so well. This place is always crowded and the parking lot is tight with small spaces. The key is to get there before they open to be one of the first to dine.

The meat was in good quality and tasted well too. The service is so so. I used getting excellent services to cook the meat on the table. But this time it was so so. The pork chops were burned badly. The whole restaurant felt cold, and massy. I went to the restaurant many times before. I am not sure 8 would go back again.

I used to love coming here with my family, but unfortunately the experience has changed a lot over the past few years (when ownership changed to Kijung Hospitality Group in 2024). While the food is still fairly good, the service during our recent visit was very disappointing. The bench seating was dirty, and although we asked for it to be cleaned, it was only partially done and we ended up having to clean it ourselves with napkins. The staff appeared disengaged, and we had to ask multiple servers just to get basic assistance at our table. On top of that, there was a strong, unpleasant odor coming from the fire pit/grill area, which took away from the overall experience.
