$$$$. Chosun Galbee is a fancy and expensive place to enjoy really high-end quality meat with highly-experienced, professional staff that have perfect knowledge of Korean BBQ. Being a really popular place for Korean BBQ in LA, wait times are usually 30 minutes to 2 hours. But the wait is well worth it, given the dining experience during both lunch and dinner. There are usually quite nice lunch specials for $25/person, and dinner is typically $50 ~ $200/person. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of booth seating, and certainly prefer being seated at a table, especially for an hour and a half to two hour long dinner. The dining area is well lit and a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Valet is $2 during lunch, and $5 during dinner. This isn't the best Korean BBQ in LA, but it's a really lovely experience with highly knowledgeable and professional staff, that even the best Korean BBQ restaurants in Seoul couldn't even come close, because of the freshness and super high-quality meat served here.

Stellar quality meat. Their signature marinade is one of the best in the town. Great service and atmosphere. All their cold noodles are predictably solid compared to most of the popular KBBQ joints. …

Combo for 2 was more than enough two people (1M, 1F)! We got the beef combo and we felt bloated after. Cold noodles are a must and ask the to bring out towards the end to eat with their signature gal…

Service is good as well as the food. \nValet parking is available with plenty of parking spots. \nIt is a bit expensive but worth the $$.

This place has one of the best settings. The ambiance is great and so is the food. You have to try it.

I am Korean. And this place is as authentic as actually Korean restaurant in Korea. Ambient was good and place was very clean. The place was big but service was quick. We ordered regular galbi and …

The food was packed with flavor, and every dish tasted super fresh. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming — perfect for a relaxing meal. I left genuinely impressed.

Good quality food, but comes with a price.

Unlike most KBBQ restaurants, Chosun Galbee is not "all you can eat" (AYCE), but you will walk away full, satisfied, and won't smell like KBBQ. The prices here are on the higher side, but the meats and prepared food are really good. You are also served a large selection of banchan and each was fresh and flavorful. The thinly sliced beef brisket, bulgogi, and short ribs were great, but the standout for me was the Yukgaejang. It's a soup, consisting of a spicy red broth, glass noodles, vegetables, and beef. It's spicy, but doesn't burn or linger. One bowl can be shared with up to four people, or will make a hearty meal by itself. As I mentioned, the prices can sneak up on you, the staff is super friendly, and the place is clean. Parking is valet only and cost $3.

Food is good, but pretty overpriced. Even the weekday lunch menu is very expensive for what you get. Better comparable restaurant quality-wish are around at a better price. Though, this restaurant excels with its large space and attentive service.

The experience was great here. I always love a good Korean bbq joint. It was definitely on the fancier side of ones I’ve been to. The prices were high but it’s LA so what can you expect. Get the bimibap if you’re not doing cooked meat. Our server didn’t really come back after she cooked our meat though, which was noting because my kids wanted to have dessert. We left and got gelato somewhere else instead. Lastly, the meat is what I want to comment on. It was heavily seasoned in something, making it not taste as fresh. I’m not sure how else to describe it other than that. My kids enjoyed it so all in all it was a good dinner.

Seng galbee gui (Prime short rib without marinade) ($70.99) - They said that 1 portion was for 1 adult but it was a huge portion of a dozen large, marbled, tender slabs of beef. The beef was cooked for us. Chosun galbee A (Prime short rib in specially formulated soy sauce) ($65.99) - Also a large portion. But not as quite as tender or fresh as the prime short rib without marinade. The beef dishes came with mushrooms and onions, a huge serving of salad and side dishes. Thoari neng myun (cold noodles) ($13) - Not particularly good.

The signature chosun galbi beef short rib was amazing! Meats were well marbled and had a good fat-to-meat ratio. Slightly pricey compared to what you can get in Singapore but hey, this is LA.

This place is worth a try but there are better places out there. I think it's their bangchans needs to be better and maybe their customer service but overall this isn't a bad place. The ambiance is…

Been here many times before. The restaurant is clean and spacious, ventilation works well. Quality of beef is still outstanding and table service to match. But the prices have skyrocketed!

They had a stellar reputation in the past, but it seems they've lost their touch when it comes to flavorful food. The restaurant building is still nice, and the service is good, with a clean environment, but the taste just isn't what it used to be.

2.5 rounded up to 3 stars. Came here for the 2nd or 3rd time today after 6 years. We ordered two lunch special combos: 1 galbi & nengmyun combo (~$36) 1 bulgogi & nengmyun combo (~$32) Both meat dishes came out already cooked (no use of the grill) on the hot stone platters similar to those for the tofu & bbq meat combos at BCD. Total with tip came out to $90, which I thought was steep even factoring inflation and raised prices lately. Everything tasted decent enough, but I personally didn’t think it was worth the price. I also wanted to leave a slightly generous rating since I recall the dinner (with the use of the grill) better, but it was also so long ago to recall.

The meat is excellent, though a bit pricy. You're basically paying for the ambiance and quality of meat. The place wasn't burnt-smelling like other KBBQ joints. It was a bit loud, though. I couldn'…

The place is OK. Nice ambience, but the food is overrated. I've read reviews and watched Youtube videos about it and can conclude that it's just OK.

I have been a fan of 조선갈비 more than 15 years. Had a dinner x mas day 2025. Ordered chosen galbi premium grade $69/ea but the quality of meat was terrible compare to past. Very frustrated and recommend not go there and even myself decided not going to be no more customer.
