Pretty authentic and tasty Korean BBQ! Service is excellent, servers try their best to cook for you which is rare for where I’m from – Vancouver Canada where most restaurants let you cook for yourself and you have to tip them – make no sense for me lol.

Fresh and juicy Beef Combo. Awesome service. Friendly staff. Meat is always top notch. I recommend trying tea, very interesting taste. The atmosphere invites you to eat delicious food and meet friends.

The food was amazing. I didn’t know if I would like all the types of food that came to the table, BUT, IT WAS AMAZING!

Great food! Really busy on a Friday night, so definitely call ahead for a reservation if you have a big group. Despite the reservation, we still had to wait almost an hour for our table. Parking is also inconvenient–street only. A couple of dishes I hadn’t seen before. Definitely get the cheesy popping corn pancake and volcano fried rice. The food was worth the wait.

Phenomenal KBBQ place! First off, we tried going to Baek Jeong on a Friday night about 8pm. Bad idea. Parking was trash and looked like a long wait anyway. I had this spot marked as back up so Magal here we come. First off, parking was really easy. Private parking in back. Had valet, but only $3 service charge.

This spot is a bit of a hidden gem in K-Town. We came here on a Thursday night around 9 pm, and it was pretty quiet inside. Google says they close at 11 pm, but they actually close at 10 and last call was at 9:30, so we were in a bit of a time crunch. Would advise coming a bit earlier so you can enjoy the full experience.

They only serve Prime USDA or more premium meats here and you can really taste it. The meat is really tender if cooked right. Make sure to eat the meat with the salads and sauces that come with the side dishes, I’m sure y’all know about those.

Great place for Korean BBQ!! Came here Sunday night and it was fairly empty so we got a table right away. Ordered the Beef Combo $84.99 (for 2 people) which comes with 4 beef selections, including marinated galbi and beef brisket—also comes with soybean paste soup. Their portions were perfect for 2 ppl, we didn’t even finish some of it because we were too full. The banchans (complimentary sides) were really good too. In the outside rim of the grill, they add the egg soup and cheese corn so it cooks while your meats are cooking—they were delicious!

A very unique experience. Ordering a combo is recommend because it’s not an all-you-can eat restaurant. The staff is very friendly but also sort of rush you through your meal. Volcano rice is definitely a must-have.
