This was my second time at this restaurant. The last time was 2/5/20! (6 years ago). The gang from work wanted an AYCE Korean BBQ, IN KOREA TOWN, that was reasonably priced with great food and easy parking. So, I recommended going here. THIS IS THE PLACE!!! THE PLACE!!! We were 7 adult women from a top medical practice in Century City ... nurses, managers, one of our practitioners ... two of them brought their daughter (under 5 yo). Our cars were valet parked for $3 each on a Friday night. The owner, herself, greeted us as we arrived (I had called earlier and said there would be 10 total and we'd need one high chair). They were ready! One server (I didn't catch his name) was in super-hustle mode ... bringing food out quickly, getting everyone beverages, apple juice for the kids, he kept replenishing both grill tables we occupued with whatever was needed; more kimchi, more rice, more meats - he was paying attention! Everything was super fresh. No one had even the slightest complaint. Bulgogi, Brisket, Shrimp, Octopus ... you name it! We threw it on the grill. My favorite was the Spicy Bulgogi!! A few extras were ordered ... like the steamed egg for a few people, and a soup for one. Everything was perfect! We made things simple for ourselves and the restaurant and put the entire tab on one credit card. With tax and included 18% gratuity the two kids were $18 each ... and the 7 adults split the remainder equally ($52 each). $398 total for 9 very well-fed people!! I offered an additional cash tip because I felt 18% was too low for the WONDERFUL SERVICE we received. The owner kept insisting it was unnecessary ... I insisted it was. Originally from NYC (I used to love Kang-Suh), I have been living in L.A for 22 years. This restaurant is THE REAL DEAL ... culturally on-point (traditional Korean), Quality foods, SUPER FRIENDLY, hard-working staff. The price is ridiculously unpretentious and reasonable. They can accommodate large groups (reserve first) and are kid-friendly. This really needs to be recognized as a top go-to for great Korean food. After 6 years (and riding out the pandemic), this place is still earning my 5 Stars. And I love that it is woman-owned!! read more

Our 2nd Visit Was Even More Memorable Our second visit was even more memorable than the first! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they even allowed my service dog to come inside and sit right next to us. That level of kindness and accommodation really meant a lot. Last time, I didn't include photos because I didn't expect the experience to leave such a strong impression on me. But this time, I had to share the amazing food with everyone because it is absolutely delicious. If I could have 수정과 (Sweet Cinnamon Ginger Punch) by the gallon, I would honestly drink it all myself! The owner is always so awesome -- her personality is what truly makes this restaurant experience so special. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers. There was even a bald customer waiting outside to be seated in the blistering 96-degree heat, and she brought out a bag full of ice for him to put on his head because he almost fainted. She also gave him an ice-cold water. If that's not caring, I don't know what is. This time we tried: * Spicy Beef Belly (매운 우삼겹살) * Spicy Brisket (매운 차돌) * Large Intestines (대창구이) * Hot Soybean Soup (된장찌개) * Cheese Corn Always ask for the special hot sauce! Highly recommend -- amazing food, amazing service, and an owner who truly makes you feel valued. read more

So glad we ended up here! They accommodated a party of 6 as a walk in and was seated in 5 minutes. The hospitality we received from Jennifer and the rest of the staff was undeniably amazing. There's a ton of other kbbq spots in this area, but come here. You won't regret it! We ordered AYCE at $34.99/per person and while they offer a premium option for a bit more, we really stick to brisket & bulgogi mainly. Sometimes pork belly. We felt adventurous and got an order of octopus and even that was good! Jennifer and a male staff took excellent care of us, laid the meats on the grills for us and instructed to wait a bit longer for the octopus to cook. The banchan variety was excellent with kimchi, salad, radish, pickled bean sprouts, pasta salad, and glass noodles. The steamed egg was yummy, and the dipping sauces went well with the meats. Ask for the spicy sauce! This spot is well lit, inviting, and the ventilation a good. I think the only con is there is only 1 restroom. I believe the parking situation is valet but I'm not sure since we walked from another location over. If I'm ever back in this area again, I will definitely come back. read more

7th Korean BBQ is my go to KBBQ joint in Ktown. If anyone asks where to go, I always recommend this place and have taken friends to experience it. I'm finally getting to review this place because I usually just forget in general to review restaurants lol (unfortunately forgot to take pics). Parking is valet for $3 (bring cash) and you can only enter it on Vermont. It's a local mom and pop spot ran by a very friendly lady owner and staff. The place is a comfortable and cozy restaurant. Nothing too fancy and not at all dingy. Feels like you're right at home. My group of 3 went during lunch this past Sunday and pricing for AYCE was set at $34.99 for the cheapest option. They take cash and card. No idea if they take tap, but just call or possibly other reviews might mention it. Service is 10/10. They are always friendly and fast. An older Korean lady served us and shared a couple laughs too. The banchan is always yummy and good variety which includes macaroni salad, cucumber kimchi, kimchi, mung bean sprout, pickled radish, and pickled radish with jalapeno (Jangajji), but I might be forgetting something else too. We were also served a salad, soup, dipping sauce and our choice of rice or rice paper. The meats we ordered this time were the basics: beef brisket, beef belly, pork belly, and bulgogi. I enjoy their quality thin cuts and not overly sweet bulgogi. After reading another review, sounds like their meats butcher standard, which makes sense! This is the only KBBQ I have been to that serves you a nice little refresher at the end of your meal; a sweet cinnamon and ginger drink. I love having this every time! Tasty and refreshing. They also give you a lollipop with your receipt hehe Love this place, will be back yet again! read more

Amazing food and service! There was no wait during prime dinner time hours on Friday which was really nice because we came hungry. The meat quality was superb. Would highly recommend! read more

HANNAH is by far the most welcoming, kind, loving waitress we have ever seen in all of LA k-town and beyond. She worked so hard to make us feel SO welcomed. She gave all the best recommendations, always made sure we had meat to eat, even cooked for us, all with laugh on her face. We even had a birthday cake prepared and she kindly brought candles and flame for us when she didn't have to. Seriously, this is a secret gem and I wish I could keep it lowkey. I LOVE THIS PLACE WILL BE BACK EVERY OTHER DAY TO FILL MY BELLY WITH 10/10 BEST MEAT EVER. INSANE FLAVOR, #1 service. YES!!!!! Love you guys! read more

This place was SO GOOD. If you're trying to decide which kbbq place to go to in ktown, definitely try this place out! Not viral on tiktok from what I've seen, but definitely deserves to be. All you can eat options are good, but we ordered a combo that said it fed 4-5 people, and that combo FILLED US UP! Had to unbuckle and everything, but it was soooo yummy. The meat is good quality, and the banchans were good. They have rice paper, which is a must for me. Yummy mac salad, yummy japchae, and super yummy cucumber kimchi--probably my favorite one. The best part of this place was the staff!!! The Korean auntie working was the sweetest, and so helpful as she cooked for us. She took care of us so well!!! I will come back 10/10 times just to make sure to give her a good tip. So well deserved. A little place in the same plaza as alchemist, and it's a bit small, but there was no wait for a table on a Sunday night. Loved it here so much. Definitely come here!!! read more

Hidden gem! Super underrated. I came here with my family and truly loved the experience. For an AYCE KBBQ, not only was the meat great for the price, but the service was awesome. The manager had us try her homemade sauce and it was fantastic! I will be coming back again. read more

Bad food :( The service was great, they were really nice! The dishes however were sub par. The stew lacked essential rich ingredients and the bulgogi quality was mediocre. The bill was $50 pre-tip so it wasn't cheap either. Because of the bland food and high price, I sadly cannot recommend this place! read more

I have very mixed feelings about this place. We stopped by since we were already in the area and noticed there was no wait, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, they only had two employees working on a Friday night, but really only one lady was working. That made the service painfully slow and not very attentive. Everything took a long time to come out. The meat quality was average, it was decent for the price, but nothing special. I also found it strange that instead of marinating the spicy meats, they just poured a bit of sauce over the top, and not even enough to cover everything evenly. The side dishes were good but served in very small portions. Overall, it's an okay spot if you're looking for value, but definitely not the best KBBQ experience. Also, since it's in Koreatown, expect to pay for parking (it was $5 when we went). read more

1st time in and it was a good meal. Standard KBBQ, order a few items cook at the table, reorder and repeat. Selection was good enough. One thing is "spicy" brisket , pork belly etc is just a quick dunk in a chili sauce. Service was good, the grill grate was changed after each round of meat. Sides were refilled as well as drinks. Would go back read more

It's my first time here and I will definitely come back. My experience was all sorts of deliciousness. Since it's an ayce kbbq, we all got the cheapest deal but it hits the spot. We all loved the thin and non marinated meats but beef belly is the best. Then the pork jowl is on point too. All the other meats are thick and take a longer time to cook and that's not my style to cook that long. Their sauce pair well with all the meats. The nuna (staffs) there took care of us with our orders then they give us little items here and there to try. They noticed my napkin as a bib so they got an actual bib instead. I can't wait to come back here for the premium meats. I highly recommend this place. Pls add me if you like my vibe! read more

100/100 the quality the customer service everything is top tier! Kimchi pancake is a must try! Usually walk out with 2 kimchis in my belly so delicious! The playlist is also top notch for us millennials:-P! Highly recommend. read more

Meat Selection The Rib Eye and Short Rib may be limited, but they're absolutely worth it! The meat is fresh and definitely not processed--far superior to many AYCE spots in K-town. * Beef Tongue: Super tender and silky, so good we had to order a second round. * Pork Jowl: Juicy and crispy, with an amazing texture. * Beef Brisket: Incredibly tender and flavorful, especially when paired with their unique sesame oil and sugar seasoning--absolutely delicious. * The must-have sides, steamed egg and cheese corn, were also great! Side Dishes & Special Eating Hack The variety of banchan was impressive, and the staff even introduced us to a genius way to eat the meat: dip it in the sauce, add a small piece of lettuce, then wrap it in their signature crispy pickled radish--it instantly cuts the greasiness and enhances the flavor. Before the meal, they served pumpkin porridge and radish beef soup, both incredibly flavorful and reminiscent of homemade comfort food. The kimchi pancake was crispy and not too greasy. To finish, they offered a sweet tea that was both refreshing and a perfect palate cleanser. Service The service was excellent! The staff constantly checked on us, reminding us when the meat was ready, helping cut it, and even teaching us special dipping techniques. The entire dining experience was fantastic--definitely worth a return visit! Price per person: $20-$45 read more

5/5 for service and food. The waitresses and the owner of the restaurant were so kind and attentive throughout our entire dinner. The meat quality was amazing. To be honest, it's hard to find an AYCE place that maintains the quality of the meat throughout numerous orders of the same cut but 7th Korean BBQ really exceeded my expectations. I also loved all of their side dishes and how they all complimented the meat. The cherry on top was the sujeonggwa (ginger cinnamon punch) at the end. SO SO SO good. Hard to find Korean-owned restaurants that serve this at the end of the meal. Definitely will be back! read more

Excellent KBBQ! Service was phenomenal and all employees were very kind. We loved all the recommendations given. Great cuts of meat and servers were good at anticipating our needs. We used valet for parking and it was cheap at $3. Would definitely come here again! read more

Food was really good! Wasn't too busy when we dropped in, very friendly staff. As first timers, the waitress was very helpful in assisting with the grill and recommendations. Valet service in the parking lot shared with other businesses in that same shopping center for just $3 flat cash, ($4 if you use card). Good ventilation as far as controlling smoke, but didn't feel any AC and it's tough be close to a grill in Los Angeles in the summer. But otherwise 10/10! read more

Was like being served by mom and grandma. Loved the special dipping sauce. Place filled up fast and service was still amazing.

I was so hungry and They didn let me use the grill because i was by myself, i told them i dont mind paying extra for a combo if its for 2 people, Combo A was $75 She made me pick my food from a diferent menu where they have single plates, i got 2 plates for myself because i wanted to try some ribs and also some pork, ended up paying $65 including tip Could have just payed those 75 to use the grill. Plus they charged me before they bring my food and i saw how they charge others after they finish eating, Idk if they just didnt want to serve me worse experience ever. read more

Quite impressed with this AYCE KBBQ place. I have high standards for KBBQ in general, and I'm very aware between the difference between AYCE & non-AYCE KBBQ places, so I know how and what to critique, but I must say that this place was already excellent for an AYCE option. We decided to do the upper AYCE selection at $39.99 per person which included a great selection of banchan (literally better than the other non-AYCE place we went to a few days earlier). Both the servers working the night we went were super friendly, and the owner even came over to say hi and to make sure we let the large intestine cook longer. The service was overall pretty good even though they got a dinner rush when we arrived, and the fact that they HAVE rice paper here and chili garlic sauce/paste which is almost a necessity for me these days is fantastic. We got a variety of different meats and agreed that even the bulgogi here was fresh and yummy even thought typically we wouldn't expect that for an AYCE place. All the additional "premium" meats that came with the higher price were great as well. Oh, the pancake that came with the meal was also so good! Lastly, when we received the check, the little older lady server came over to give us some leftover Halloween candy in a plastic pumpkin bowl to choose from. Honestly, considering the service, food options, and ease of everything at this place, we found this to be an amazing option! read more

One of my favorite AYCE kbbq spots and it doesn't break the bank. Typically understaffed though so there can be a lot of waiting in between rounds. When I went during a less busy night, the servers were highly attentive and sweet. Good variety of banchan. There's a parking lot in front. read more

Quality of meat is above average but they have limited ribeye and short ribs for the highest tier. See the menu. read more

Best Korean BBQ in LA. The owner is so friendly. Service is great. The food is great.

Been coming here for yrs since it first opened and supported them through out the whole pandemic era but today is the last day. Imagine the check being handed to you right away even before you got water or the side dishes, that's so weird. Being treated like a criminal that can possibly dine and dash is such a weird move. If that's happening a lot that's bc your servers are not paying attention. If you're going to dine alone they'll make sure people know that because they only do the pre charge for solo dine in customers. What a turn off, I moved to dtla and made my way here because I was craving it but never again with that whole experience. read more
