My first time at this location. We usually go to Rowland Heights locations. They offer few different combos and you can't really go wrong with any of it. Combo small is good for party of 2-3. We had 3 people and also ordered a side of seafood pancake! We left super full. Service and food are both excellent here! We always leave with a happy tummy!

We got the Hodong's combo and a seafood pancake for 3 people. The Hodong combo is a good portion for 2-3 people. Seafood pancake flavor was good, but could have included more seafood, and cooked to a bit more crispy. We had a few servers come by and help cook our meat. Chris was one of servers and was very attentive. It was lively on a weekend night, and full of energy in the restaurant. Ventilation was very adequate for a kbbq restaurant!

Current running special as of 05/30/26 -- BOGO Mocktails! This Korean BBQ restaurant is a great spot for a fun, interactive dining experience. The meats are fresh and well-marinated which come out tender and flavorful on the grill. The variety of side dishes adds a nice balance to the meal, and everything is constantly refilled. Service is attentive, especially when helping with grilling or refills. Overall, it's a solid place if you're looking for good food, a social vibe, and a hands-on dining experience.

One thing I really appreciate is that the servers cook the meat for you, which makes the whole experience so much more pleasant -- you can just relax, eat, and enjoy chatting with friends instead of worrying about the grill. We went on a Thursday around 6 PM and there was a bit of a line, but by 7:30 PM it was almost empty. So for weekdays, if you don't have a reservation and don't want to wait, coming after 7 PM may be a good idea. Not sure about weekends, but weekday timing definitely matters. Our favorite meat was the marinated short rib -- so juicy and flavorful, almost wagyu-like, with that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Definitely the highlight of the meal for us. Great food, easy experience, lively atmosphere, and perfect for a casual dinner with friends.

The fact that this place never stops moving is showing a good system in play. Seafood pancake looks delicious as always!!

Servers were on point tonight. The difference in hospitality has me raving about it with party.

Vincent helped us cook the meat to perfection and was on top of service. We got the large marinated beef and small beef for a group of 7 and it was comfortable. Got seated fairly quickly on a friday evening. Large variety of side dishes brought out fresh. Jeff was very enthusiastic and helpful with getting us more side dishes and napkins. Would definitely come again. Service was 10/10 The beef tartar had an off taste/smell to it but if you could overlook that it wasn't too bad with pears and the egg yolk. I've had better beef tartar elsewhere. (7/10)

I like getting their Hodong's favorite combo since it comes with both beef and pork. I like how there are two different sizes. The small is good for 2-3 people and a large would be good for a party of 4+. I like how they include cold tofu as one of their side dishes as a lot of kbbq places. They also give big pieces of kimchi compared to other places I go to which I like. The meat is good quality and I really like their pancakes. Their combo comes with your choice of soybean or kimchi stew. Their stews are always too salty for me. I always have to add water to it so it's more bearable to eat. They are usually very busy so service isn't the best. Parking is also hard to find especially on a Friday and Saturday night since they share the parking lot with Meet Fresh, Planet Fitness, etc. I highly suggest making a reservation during the weekend dinner so you don't have to wait too long. They currently have a bogo drink special.

This kbbq place delivers an authentic Korean dining experience especially for meat lovers. The atmosphere is energetic and often bustling, which adds to the fun but can mean longer wait times during peak hours. The parkings during the weekend can be hectic since they do share the plaza with many other stores and also the gym. They cook the meat for you so it's not a kbbq place where you cook the meat yourself so if you like that, then this place might not be for you. The meat is pretty good quality and I like how they have combo so that you can try different types of meat with a discounted price. I also like how they include steam eggs and corn cheese.

Gave them a 2nd chance and it's still mediocre. Service was not good; the waiter in the red shirt had an attitude and made us feel rushed with our dining experience. He also forgot to bring our drinks requiring us to remind them. Later, we had a different staff (Chris), who was much nicer and pleasant to deal with. He cooked our meat at a slower pace and did not make us feel rushed. Meat quality was so-so; definitely had better. They cook the meat for you, which is not my preference as I prefer cooking it myself and at my pace. It is annoying that they cook the entire meat dish all at once almost forcing you to eat all of it before cooking the next meat dish. I like to eat a variety of cuts at different times and again, more at my own pace, so this style of cooking is really not for me. A lot of their meats are flavorless. It's fully dependent on the dipping sauce and salt.

I love coming to this place for KBBQ. There are different types of meats to choose from as well as combo deals. They have friend service & they are very attentive. The ambiance is modern & you get to hear the latest K-POP hits. What I like about this KBBQ is with the good ventilation you don't come out smelling like KBBQ. This is my favorite KBBQ in the SGV and it's always a treat to come here.

Brisket
Cheyenne L.

Friday night, walked in and waited 1 hour and 10 minutes. I was impressed by the table setting. Ordered brisket and beef tongue. For the beverage, I got the watermelon drink--buy one, get one free, but it was way too sweet. The server cooked all the meat for us, which was great for a lazy person like me!

Temple city baekjeong might be my favorite location. The food came in fast and our server was so quick to make sure it doesn't get burnt. The ambiance is also very spread out so you don't feel claustrophobic. Joey is the man and he is kept is in the know with what to order! Please come visit this location because this location is beyond worth it!

Haven't been here for a while but came on a Tuesday for dinner. There was a 15 minute wait for a table for four. Staff was quick and cooked our meat well. When we asked for refills on the sides, he was quick too. Ambiance is kpop in the background with sizzling of the grills. Pretty spacious considering. Sadly they were out of ribeye so we ordered brisket, beef tongue, and shortrib. All cuts were yummy, especially the shortrib.

great service as always! been coming here for over 10 years.

Hi there, when I check in at the counter with the hostess, can I add add a note that I may take longer than 10 minutes to walk back to the restaurant when I get the text notification ? I don't want to loose my turn again. Much appreciated. Mitchel.

Since they use Yelp waitlist, I would suggest checking the Yelp app to see your position in line so you can plan accordingly. The host wouldn't know how long to wait if you say "longer than 10 minutes". Is that 15 minutes or 20 minutes or did you…

Looking for a Korean BBQ spot in Arcadia? Check out Hodori BBQ at The Shops at Santa Anita!…read more We got the Beef Special Large Combo for $159.99, which serves about 3 to 4 people. It comes with six kinds of beef, including prime ribeye, boneless short ribs, marinated beef, rib finger meat, brisket, and bulgogi. You also get salad, corn cheese, and your choice of soybean paste stew or kimchi stew, making it a great spread for sharing. I love that you can grill the meat right at your table for that fun Korean BBQ experience. They even have robot servers bringing food to your table! If you're craving Korean BBQ with a variety of beef cuts, this is a spot worth checking out.

very mixed feelings about this place.. ordered the small…read morebeef combo and it came with 4 kinds of meat, salad, corn cheese and stew. the amount was perfect for two without getting too full the rib eye was delicious but the rest of the meat were either too chewy or just ok. we got the kimchi stew which was perfectly sour and salty. the side dishes were ok but the bean sprout actually tasted rotten so i had to spit that out... the service was also very iffy. servers dont cook the meat for you which is something i've never experienced at an à la carte kbbq place. only after we were on our last meat did they OFFER. we declined because we're almost done with our meal so what's the point. and the key word was offer. i would've expected them to just cook the meat for us or at least offer in the beginning but idk why they offered at the very end of the meal. the rest of the service was just ok. it felt disorganized with multiple workers offering us the same thing overall very mediocre experience here. i'd rather go to TK92 for better service and better quality meat for ayce in 626 or drive to ktown for more options
