Phenomenal experience from the minute we were greeted and promptly seated, oriented to the menu and cooking options, delicious sides, AMAZING Wang Ribs & spicy chicken bulogi with Korean condiments to our final toast with Korean peach sake. We are def going back sooooooon. Family owned with other convenient Korean shopping in the plaza.
We’re so grateful for a local Korean restaurant so we can go out instead of cooking it sometimes. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Three words: Laura, Laura, Laura
Laura was our server and she KILLED it. While the tables are equipped with the buzzer to call your server, she was there checking on our party of 4 regularly without being annoying. Her service was top notch and she provided honest feedback about menu items.
We all went with the 2nd tier AYCE option and we were not disappointed. I mean, come on, this wasn't LA and anyone judging the place by those standards is asking for a let down. Despite having that LA experience, I still enjoyed Gangnam BBQ's selection. Plenty of side dishes-- I loved the green onion salad-- tasty meat, and a great selection of flavored soju.
We went on a Saturday night while the joint was full and we still enjoyed great food and better service. If you need a Korean BBQ fix and LA isn't in your budget or travel plans, swing by. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
My gawd... I'm still full a day later. The spread here is long an endless array of meats. Everything was good 👌
Pro tip: Order the Galbi. We ordered it three times cause it's that good.
I used to come here when I first moved here from Hawaii and it was still under the ownership of the old owners. The new owners have totally transformed this place, plus they used to own Mekong in Hawaii. For you Kamainas they will make Meat Jun if you order off the premium menu and the bugga stay Ono.

It's the next morning and I'm still full lol. We ordered the premium meat option and ate 5 meats (2, 8, 11, 10, & 14). They bring you veggies and rice then you cook the meat at your table. It's delicious. And you get fresh strawberries with a plum powder at the end of the meal like a dessert.
We also drank a couple "good day"s which were like rice wine vinegar vodka like drinks... I'm probably not describing it right... Lol but they were tasty. We had peach, pomegranate, & were able to taste our neighbor's lemon lime flavor. Definitely strong sipping drinks, but the brightness and acidity worked well with the meats.
We had a great experience due to the atmosphere too. We made friends with our neighbor table and the servers, Brian & Aaron. When we were unsure between a couple options, they'd help us pick the best ones, taught us how to use chopsticks, and games.
If I could give more stars to our dinner last night, I would.
Good food, friendly staff. They were a little slow even tho there really wasn't that many ppl on a Saturday night but nothing too serious.
A little on the pricy side, but worth the money spent. I think everyone needs to experience this at least once in their life. Server was helpful and even showed us a Korean drinking game!
First time at a Korean BBQ place and it was really fun. Waiter was very helpful and made our night fun. So much food.
This place is AMAZING and ALL YOU CAN EAT! The meat is tender and well prepared. The ban Chan is delicious. Thank you Gangnam BBQ.
Read all reviews, they must be under new management. Quality of meat was great, floors were clean. Staff wears headsets and Apple watches. Push a button and your server is en route. Andrew was great, will definitely come back. They do need to change the grills every once in a while or better ventilation. Other than that... I found my new Korean spot in the Valley.
