    Tofu Skewers
    Harmonie T.

    I'm delightfully surprised at how good the Tofu Skewers are! The texture, the char, and the glaze has great flavor. Two skewers was more than enough food for me. Generous portion size and great value at $10. https://yelp.to/rD_og2pMP4 The plate comes with a choice of rice or salad. I enjoyed the salad because it came with a light dressing, pineapple, and crispy garlic. This plate also came with pickled veggies. Friendly staff and great location at SteelCraft in Bellflower.

    Barrio in Bellflower at Steelcraft is pretty good. Totally caught my eye when I saw their take on Korean and Filipino fare. The one thing that could have made this dish shine even more is: a small side or Korean pickled treats (radish perhaps), or Filipino atchara. A game-changer would be.... make it with kimchi fried rice..

    Barrio is a Korean-Filipino fusion joint located in Steelcraft Bellflower. It's what I wanted for lunch when we visited Steelcraft. My wife and I, both being Filipino-American, both craved the Filipino side of the menu. I went with Pork BBQ skewers with rice, which I can never pass up. My wife went with Pork Liempo (grilled pork belly) with rice. The pork liempo was delicious as you could taste the chargrilled flavor. The pork BBQ skewers were well-sauced and very tasty, but a little sweet - even factoring in my very strong sweet tooth. Cost was a little above $30 for our two entrees and a coke for modest portions. We did enjoy eating in the communal seating space at the Steelcraft food hall and I think that this is a very strong option for your entree at Steelcraft. With future visits, I'd love to try their Korean options as they have Bulgogi. I wish they embraced the fusion aspect a little more by offering kimchi and/or atchara to balance out these dishes (without an addendum cost); nevertheless, I think that this is a pretty good option for you at a pretty good food hall in Bellflower!

    Overall, I love Korean and Filipino BBQ so much! I've had this food chain before at another SteelCraft location and I loved it. I really like how there's so many other options in the area and Barrio is just one of those really yummy options when you're there and figuring out what to order. I just love skewers! And the location is so chill with so many seats and tables for quick lunch and/or dinner dates. Sadly though, I came here last Thursday afternoon to try this cafe spot nearby and wanted some good food so coming here I thought was a no brainer until I had to deal with the slow and just not good service. I don't know if the worker lady was just having a bad day or didn't want to be there but I had to literally wait multiple times just to put in an order. She just seemed impatient and wasn't as welcoming or helpful when I had questions on the order and options. Other than that, the chicken and pork skewers are great. I love ordering the Liempo as it's super delicious pork belly. I just wish they were in stock with lumpia as that's also really delicious. Overall, food is yummy and worth it but service here was pretty bad so idk if I'll be back to this location :/

    Chicken Skewers
    Daro H.

    Barrio fulfills a huge craving for delicious, backyard, home-made tasting Filipino and Korean BBQ, but also a culinary satisfaction for something that feels familiar yet elevated. I had the pork belly, chicken skewers, and lumpia over rice and salad, and everything was marinated and grilled with precision and balance for depth of flavor. The pork belly was charred nicely but still very tender and juicy, and the savory flavors paired nicely with the pickled vegetables. The chicken skewers were far from dry, and wasn't overly salty like some Filipino recipes call for, and the sweetness from the soy sauce conjured some of the most memorable bbqs I've had at Filipino households. They lumpia were great, and the salad was also a big surprise, with cuts if mango and a tangy and sweet dressing. Inside the Bellflower Steelcraft, it warrants a visit either by yourself or with a large group whenever you feel like something comforting and nostalgic. The prices are very reasonable.

    Beef Bulgogi Plates and Lumpia
    Mary C.

    This was the perfect meal, packed with tons of flavor and served fresh! I was so happy that the lumpia are made with chicken an not pork, it paired really well with sauce they gave as well. The beef bulgogi plate was the real star of the show; definitely on my list of places to try again!

    Shrimp Skewer Plate + Lumpia
    Ruby M.

    This place is located inside steelcraft. This is the second time I buy food here, & both times were consistent with service & quality. Ordered the garlic shrimp skewers with rice and it comes with pickled veggies. The lumpia was a fan favorite

    Morgan T.

    We ordered the pork skewers, bulgogi, and lumpia and everything was fantastic. The food is fresh, and the BBQ sauce they use on the skewers is a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The portion size is great for the price. I'm excited to try the Liempo (pork belly) on my next visit.

    Pork liempo with egg!
    Ashlyn R.

    I loved this place! It's located inside Steelcraft so it can be a bit hard to find parking here. I ordered the grilled pork liempo with rice (add an egg to it, trust me!). It came out pretty quickly! Although the fat portion of the pork cut was a bit tough, it was still super tasty. I would highly recommend eating it with the vinegar that they give you- the sour flavor offsets the richness of the pork. Would definitely come back for more! :)

    Yellow Joint inside SteelCraft
    Robin H.

    Went to SteelCraft and saw a Korean and Filipino Fusion joint and wanted to try it out. I got their 2 Shrimp Skewers plate and it tasted flavorful with a hint of garlic but the pieces were a bit small for me. It felt more like a light snack or appetizer for me. I tasted their Liempo (filipino pork), but I wasn't really into it as it took a while to chew. Other than the food, the staff were very friendly and nice giving whatever condiments needed with no extra charges.

    Lumpia (chicken)
    Tanya M.

    I ordered the tofu skewer plate and it was very delicious. The plate comes with rice or salad. Or you can do both with an additional charge. Honestly, the additional charge was worth it. The tofu skewer was tangy/salty and it was very grilled. You can also ask for a soy and vinegar dipping sauce if you would like a more saltier flavor. Also, I ordered lumpia. The portion was small and it was lacking flavor. It reminded me of mini egg rolls. I only liked the dipping sauce that came it. Overall, I would order the tofu skewer again and skip the lumpia.

    Chicken and beef skewers
    Daisy A.

    Really like this place. I'm stuck here at the hospital and anytime I'm here it's my go to spot. This establishment is inside steel craft beer garden. So far I tried several items from the menu and everything is delicious. Chicken skewers, beef skewers, plates and bowls all are very good.

    Lumpia

    Really great Filipino food. Highly recommend the lumpia. Good price and portions. Food came out fast

    I love what the new ownership has done with this familiar Korean eatery. It has been transformed…read moreinto one of the area's premier destinations for authentic Korean comfort food, embracing the traditions of slow-cooked, homestyle recipes passed down through generations. Every dish reflects a dedication to Korean culinary heritage, arriving at the table bubbling, sizzling, and steaming with irresistible aromas. Step inside and you are welcomed by the comforting scent of toasted sesame, simmering garlic, and richly fermented broths that instantly make you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and unpretentious, capturing the feeling of gathering around a family dinner table. The menu celebrates soulful Korean classics with bold fermented flavors, slow-simmered stews, casseroles, salad wrap combinations, noodle dishes, and grilled fish, alongside shareable favorites like Korean chive pancakes, seafood pancakes, and abalone porridge. Every meal begins with one of the best complimentary spreads of banchan in town. The assortment is vibrant, tangy, spicy, and refreshingly diverse, featuring dishes that are increasingly difficult to find at many Korean restaurants. Our table included a variety of namul (seasoned vegetables), steamed eggplant, creamy Korean potato salad, japchae, and wonderfully fresh kimchi. Each side dish provided its own balance of flavor and texture while perfectly complementing both steamed rice and the main courses. **Dwaeji Bossam (Steamed Pork with Napa Cabbage) + Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew) Combo, plus banchan - $45.99** The bossam showcases beautifully prepared pork belly that is incredibly moist, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth rich without any unwanted pork odor. Thin slices of pork are elegantly arranged like ribbons and served alongside an impressive assortment of accompaniments: spicy julienned radish kimchi (musaengchae), sliced raw garlic, fresh jalapeños, ssamjang (sweet and savory fermented soybean chili paste), saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp), carrot and cucumber sticks, crisp green leaf lettuce, and blanched napa cabbage for wrapping. Every condiment serves a purpose. The crunchy radish kimchi cuts through the richness of the pork with bright acidity and spice. The saeujeot delivers an intensely savory burst of umami, while the ssamjang contributes a balanced combination of sweetness, heat, and fermented depth. Wrapped together inside fresh lettuce or tender napa cabbage, every bite becomes an explosion of contrasting textures and harmonious flavors. The accompanying doenjang jjigae is equally satisfying. The fermented soybean paste creates a deep, aged savoriness that is rich yet mellow, supported by anchovy stock, garlic, and just enough heat from sliced jalapeños. A slightly thickened broth envelopes silky tofu, tender zucchini, onions, and potatoes, creating one of Korean cuisine's most comforting stews. **Eun Daegu Jorim (Braised Black Cod) - $48.99** The braised black cod is another standout. Buttery, flaky pieces of fish are gently simmered in a glossy reduction that perfectly balances savory, sweet, spicy, and umami flavors. Thick chunks of radish slowly absorb the rich braising liquid until they become almost as satisfying as the fish itself. Just before serving, the dish is finished with freshly diced green onions that contribute brightness and a subtle bite to this deeply comforting classic. Service deserves special recognition. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. My family felt immediately at ease from the moment we walked through the door. The servers anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, quietly refilling water glasses and clearing finished plates with thoughtful timing. What impressed me most was the kindness they showed my mother, treating her with genuine warmth, sincere compliments, and the type of hospitality that made us feel less like customers and more like welcomed guests in someone's home. This restaurant beautifully showcases everything that makes Korean comfort food so beloved: slow-cooked recipes made entirely from scratch, deeply flavorful stews, generous portions, exceptional banchan, and heartfelt hospitality. Between the authentic homestyle cooking, robust flavors, and caring service, it has quickly become one of the finest places in the area to experience the warmth and comfort of traditional Korean cuisine.

    There are so many Korean food choices around Cerritos and La Palma adjacent areas…read more Nearly all have a specific type of food preparation different from each other. This location has served cold noodle soup (mulnaengmyun) all the years we have come. The most recent owner is also female, and her kitchen and front end staff are all female. By far, this serves the best cold noodle soup and thin chewy buckwheat noodles. The hot summer days certainly bring in a crowd! The side dishes or banchan change frequently, my favorites are the tomato and apple, onion and parsley plus the house made kimchi. Occasionally they have the white or non spicy kimchi which is so delicious and refreshing. We often get the combo cold noodle with beef bulgogi (thin sliced marinated beef) or kalbi (LA style short rib sliced across and marinated then grilled). Love the bossam plate :boiled pork belly served with vegetables for wrapping. Also good is the marinated chicken & veggie wraps combo. The gamjeatang or pork spare rib spicy stew if full of tender pork and stewed vegetables, that I feel is a healthy alternative to the grilled meats. The boochoo neon (I hope I spelled that correctly) or chive pancake is done so well here: tender and crispy on the edges. Great for sharing as an appetizer. They also have a barley dish that is mostly vegetarian with spicy sauce. Very glad they are open daily and until 9 pm (last call is about 830). Many families and golf buddies or business partners frequent the place. Quiet, thankfully has A/C cranked to cold most year round, so you can enjoy your meal in comfort. The manager (Joy) and servers are unfailingly quiet and priced excellent service.

It can make the experience feel unwelcoming. Overall, I still highly recommend this place because the food is excellent.
