Lucky Peach

The kimchi pancake and all their grilled meats are musts. If you’re not eating meat, order the incredible grilled vegetables and mushrooms . Parks is also great for big groups. It feels like home. Read more

Park 's Tokyo-X crossbred pork belly may be the best pig in Koreatown & at more than $30 for an order of sliced Kobe-style beef , this is the most expensive Korean BBQ in town ... but its 100% worth it! Read more

Rhonda Barket

Excellent Korean BBQ & service! Unique sides, salad was phenomenal and I’d never had acorn jelly . Bim Bim Bap also delicious. $2 valet for lunch $3 for dinner makes parking in busy Koreatown easy.

Andreas Cohen

Amazing local must do institution. The Kimichi pancake is memorable and BBQ meats of the highest quality

Carol

The food comes out SO quickly! Everything is delicious and meat melts off your tongue . But pace yourself even if they try to grill your meat quickly.

Andy Wang

Great service. Great food. Go with lots of hungry carnivores and make sure to order the marinated pork belly and beef tongue

Alex Bosworth

Skip on the SSAM unless you really want it. The combo P1 is three servings of meat so enough for two people. Remember they will also bring some banchan so no need to over order

Mehan Jayasuriya

not the cheapest k-bbq but you get what you pay for! high-quality meat and the incredible bonchon was practically a meal onto itself. 1 order of meat & 1 order of veggies was more than enough for 2.

Harvey Simpson

THE BEST Korean BBQ spot in LA and that I've ever had! We had the Combo 1 that served 4 of us with some left over.

Jeff Weinstein

Korean BBQ meats, rock shrimp pancake , and a kimchi rice bowl . They gave us a beautiful gift including a two dollar bill to celebrate New Years.

Peter Santana

Everything is awesome and the Beef Short is to die for...

Linda Yang

Prime beef , kalbi , banchan , beef short rib soup with rice cakes , tamago and bean paste sides

Ashley Dando

Wagyu need was good. Pork belly was very fatty and garlicky. The never ending pickles and salad accompaniments were good

Kevin T

Combo 1 was a really good amount of food for 2 people. Such good quality meat and panchan, and the service is impeccable.

Long

Tried the Park Galbi , bulgogi , and beef brisket with kimchi pajeon for 4 people. We all agreed that next time we would get 3 orders of the Park Galbi .

Gabriel M.

Amazing Korean BBQ served al fresco under a tent in front of the restaurant . That’s how you treat yourself during these troubling times.

Eater

While people will quibble over whether or not Park 's is the defacto best Korean barbecue in the city , it's exceptionally solid, and the perfect destination for a night out in K-Town. Read more

Connie Chiu

One of the best kbbq spots in LA but it’s fancy and pricey . BYOB for a corkage fee .

Jones

Number 1 kalbi and number 8 are delicious. The appetizers and side dishes are also very good.

Christine Ha

Excellent meat quality, especially the short ribs . Good for families 🍖

Raul Cortes

Good food to be shared with good people. Loy's of Celeb pictures on the wall. Enjoy. I agree w/ some of the other tips! Upscale KBBQ!

If you can't swing the normal prices, try the lunch specials for $8 or $11.

The short rib is amazing. So tender

Amar

Don't leave without getting the galbi and the beef tartare

Delicious. Combo 1 ($127?) is great for two hungry people

Best Place To Take Your Parents When They're Visiting From Ohio And Want To See "LA's Melting Pot" according to Jeff Miller

Midtown Lunch LA

Their $7 lunch special is one of the best in K-Town. You can't go wrong ordering anything off the TV in the front.

Jim Martini

My Korean friends say this is one of the best places.

Bokyung Park

It’s a famous Korean BBQ restaurant among Koreans in LA. There seem to be a good reason for being chosen as Michelin.

Michael Quoc

One of the best BBQ places in LA. Soo Won and Baek Jong are also great. Highly recommended.

Melissa Cabrera

김치찌개 (kimchi stew ) with 만두 (dumplings )!

Really authentic kbbq. Get the marinated beef - it's delicious.

Simple Foodie

Spicy Octopus , Kimchi Fried Rice , Bulgogi , Brisket Point

Mike Piromgraipakd

This place is amazingly good. Highly recommended, the servers can be a bit snubbish. In fact they're probably hoping you'll get turned off so you never come back to their prized secret BBQ joint ...

Eugene Lin

Wagyu GGot Sal! Soooooo good. Put some garlic , jalapeños and onions on the grill with it and eat them together.

AZ Productions

Simply put this place is amazing try either the Prime Beef Short Rib , galbi tang , or banchan .

Awesome kbbq. Prepare to pay for that level of quality and service.

Eater

Delivers with prime grade meats served at the table, along with a slew of other traditional dishes . The quality of the meat & banchan is simply unsurpassed. Rivals some of the best in Seoul itself. Read more
