Baekjeong Temple City

I have been following Baekjeong for quite some time now, ever since the first location I have been to in Koreatown in Los Angeles. I started to see different chains of these in different cities. Although the one in Rowland Heights is closer to me, I had to drive out here because this was the only Baekjeong around where I love that actually also opens for Lunch during the day. The Rowland Heights only opens for lunch during the weekend. Either or, this was my second time eating at this location, first time eating in doors for Korean BBQ ever since the pandemic. It was so good, and just as I remembered it. The service was great, and I believe even though everything is A La Carte, the quality and experience is just awesome. Something to note is that the closest entrance next to the parking lot is an exit, you will need to walk to the front where there is a fountain for the entrance. It also seems that the outdoor seating that they set up during COVID last year, isn’t being used ever since the indoors opened. Food I would recommend anyone to get the Beef Combo. For a family of 3, the small was a great size, we went a little bit overboard ordering an extra bimbimbop, but we were able to have another meal with the leftovers the next day. I would recommend the prime meat with the marble, as you do get a choice for the combo. I wished I was able to try the pork jawl again, as I haven’t had that for a long time, but remember it was really good. As you eat, you get many different Banchans, rice paper, dips, salt, and even kimchi pancake(you can order more) The best part I would say is the egg and corn and cheese that cooks around the grill! (Which is also refillable) What is better then Korean bbq? Well someone doing the bbq for you, and this is what they do here. So make sure you take care of your server! I would like to note that both times that I have been at the location, the floor did seem sort of sticky, most likely because of all of the BBQ going on. Either or I wouldn’t mind driving out here again. I believe the value of what you pay for, the food the service is just superb. Cant wait to stop by again soon, until next time!

Been here multiple times and each time is consistently good! Can always count on Baekjeong for kbbq at a decent price point. On weekends it can get busy so be prepared for a 30+ minute wait. They didn’t have outdoor dining anymore when I went.
