Food was cooked really well, the flavor for each menu item was distinguishable. The portion size for the value is very reasonable! If you are getting the spicy chicken which is not fried, it tends to come with a lot of sauce so if you don't like your rice mushy ask for easy sauce. The service is always top tier at this and every other BBQ+Rice location. I called in my order 10 minutes prior to arriving and it was ready when I got there. They do get busy so if you are in a rush, call ahead of time, they work with you. This specific location is located in a good spot with plenty of seating inside and out (given the size of the location). read more

Just tried this spot for the first time and it did not disappoint. Large portions of tasty REAL food (not just fried or processed food) at a value price. Balanced bowl of meat, rice, and veggies that you'll feel good about eating. read more

After a long day of traveling, me and the family were extremely tired and wanted something delicious to eat. We were able to find BBQ + Rice on Venice Blvd. We were greeted with a friendly hello and helped us with all of our questions. The food was amazing. We got the bulgogi, spicy mayo chicken bowls, the KFC (Korean fried chicken), pickled cucumbers and the kimchi. Highly recommend. read more

BBQ+RICE Venice - Spicy Mayo Chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is the most delicious restaurant I have been to in LA for a long time. I'm specifically referring to the Bulgogi Beef bowl, which is basically very thinly sliced beef sautéed with some insanely delicious elixir, mixed with vegetables and rice. I could eat that bowl every day for months! The ambience is casual and the actual location is very small. You order at the counter. They are friendly and attentive. read more

A great hole in the wall spot. When I stopped by there was no line, and my food came out quickly. The food itself was amazing. The beef was flavorful and incredibly tender, and the veggie mix was done just right with the onions soft and cooked to perfection. It was a delicious meal that felt satisfying without being heavy. I will definitely be back. This place is a standout. read more

BBQ+RICE Venice - Black Pepper Chicken - big portion! - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I tried the spicy mayo fried Korean chicken bowl and the black pepper grilled chicken bowl with veggies on a recent visit. The portions were very large and I could only finish about a third of each bowl in one sitting. This is more of a take out location and there isn't really any table service or dining in option but the kitchen team had my order ready to go, and they were friendly when I picked up my order. The food tasted fresh, but there weren't that many pieces of the fried chicken that had good size amounts of breast or thigh inside - a lot was just batter. read more

Good just not amazing I got the bulgogi bowl and it tasted decent. Meat was pretty dry but I still enjoyed it. I had to ask for extra sauce but that may just be a personal preference. Portions are also not bad. It was mostly rice but still a decent amount of meat. Overall this is a food is good and healthy read more

BBQ+RICE Venice - Bulgogi (Beef) - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My new favorite go to spot! I've been to the BBQ+Rice location in Westwood so when I saw there was a location in Venice, I had to try it. This location is located on Venice blvd on a street with other restaurants. While the restaurant location is busy, we were easily able to find parking in the surrounding areas. When you walk in, you immediately see the numerous items you can order from. There are multiple items to choose from and all sound delicious. I ordered the black peppered chicken while my friend ordered the spicy chicken. The dishes are fresh and the restaurant is busy so just be aware that when you do order, you will be waiting 15-20 minutes for your food. The workers there were great and service was pleasant. While there's not many tables, there are two inside and two outside for people to sit down. If you're looking for a restaurant with great food which is fast and fresh, definitely check this place out! read more

Protein bowls that don't fuck around... real meat, real spice, real fuel built for people who actually move. The spicy pork is straight pressure... hot, savory, stacked over rice and vegetables like it understands discipline and hunger. Dealer's choice is code for trust the kitchen... because when a spot respects protein this much, they don't miss worth a damn. read more

After coming here throughout the years since they opened I'm appalled and disgusted to see how they have managed to deceive customers by shrinking their portions and size pieces of their meats. Tonight was the worst! I have proof in pics of 3 years ago on their Pepper chicken and today I took out the small pieces (which were also hard and dry) apart in a bowl to see the difference. They fill bowl with lots of veggies and little meat under which you don't notice. How can they keep charging the same prices for the small portions/pieces of meat? My husband said the same thing about their beef. They used to be bigger strips and now tiny little bits. I gave it two stars because flavor is still there but if things are going to be like this I will take my business elsewhere. How truly disappointing the restaurant food industry is getting. read more

Ive been having suicidal thoughts and depression but i had enough clarity to think "you're just hungry" so i drove to this place it's like down the street blasting Her Words Kill and on the verge of tears. I walk in some guy in a muscle tank asks me what i want but i mobile ordered because i couldn't get my words out i feel so i say my name and he goes "you really don't want pickles huh. all the exclamation points." I go yeah like i hate vinegar like i just don't get it. And he smiles and laughs "okay no pickles". Well anyways i could tell he was picking on me and it made me laugh. I walked to my car and balled my eyes out because i really just needed a laugh from a person. I took it home, watched IT and it was my first time watching it RIP tim curry but this movie is like an epic novela. I mean its got everything, down to the decor. Anyways it was very good beef bulgolgi idk if i spelled that right. read more

I ordered the bulgogi beef with rice, and it was really good. The beef had a great balance of savory and sweet flavors, and the sweetness wasn't overpowering. The rice, onions, carrots, cabbage, and mushrooms all added different layers of flavor and texture that worked well together. The food came out quickly, and my order was exactly what I asked for. Overall, a solid meal and a good experience. read more

Very good food. Always made fresh and great portions. Staff is super friendly and they always answer the phone. I like to go call for pick up and it is always ready and just made when I come by to pick it up. The spicy chicken and bulgogi are my favourites read more

Good valued quick eats Korean bowls! Friendly and fast service with street parking on the Main Street. It's hard to find bowls that have good value like these days. The space has some tables and a counter to order. Just a very clean and simple operation that does it well! read more

This restaurant feels like a Korean-inspired restaurant and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The place was also well lit, clean and cozy . It might be harder to find parking but if you live nearby, you can always order it for to-go. The cashier was very friendly and patient in explaining the menu. The food was overall great, and reasonably priced as well ! The food: - Spicy Chicken (8/10): I thought the portion was generous! The rice texture was cooked to perfection (not watery). Meat was mildly chewy and the salad that came with the bowl was fresh . I think the only thing I didn't like was how spicier this dish is compared to the spicy pork. Which was supposedly having the same level of spiciness. - Spicy Pork (10/10): The spicy pork though, was delicious ! The meat was juicy and tender. One thing though, if you don't like onions, you better let them know ahead of time, because they put a lot of onions on my bowl and my mouth smelled like onion for hours . Overall, I totally recommend this restaurant! Great food, clean, convenient, reasonably priced and your food gets served pretty quickly. They have many branches throughout west LA. So, you can pick whichever is closest to you. I think they will still taste the same ! read more

Fast, affordable, and convenient takeout! This place hit the spot when I needed a dinner takeout option on a weekday. The menu is simple, the service was polite and welcoming, and the food came out quickly! I ordered the Bulgolgi bowl for ONLY $13!! Portions were quite large. Vegetables tasted great - shiitake mushrooms, carrots, onions, scallion, and a little pickled cucumber! The meat was tender and more of a sauté v BBQ taste. 5 stars for the the pricing and service. I'd come back for more takeout! read more

Really wonderful customer service! Affordable bowls! Delicious food! I got the beef bulgogi and liked it so much that I went back a second day. The bowls are very large portions. My only critique is I wish there was more beef and less rice. I ended up ordering extra protein which cost another $6 (the bowl was only $14) so I wasn't crazy about that, but still affordable. I'm looking forward to trying the tofu bowl next! Great place! read more

This does not taste like authentic Korean food. It taste more like commercial franchise food with no love! : ( Used Postmates for delivery. I ordered the Beef Bulgogi Salad, Korean Fried Chicken (sweet & spicey). House Made kimchi. and a side of Rice. Beef Bulgogi Salad - is one chop away from ground beef and the flavor taste watered down but edible. The lettuce was wilted like sauteed spinach (this may be partially my fault for ordering this for delivery. The meat may have steamed the lettuce in their packaging). The cucumbers and tomatoes added a nice fresh note to the dish Korean Fried Chicken (sweet & spicey) - taste like Trader Joe's version of Orange Chicken with a little heat. The sauce was tasty. Kimchi - Is missing all the notes of garlic, ginger, spicy, tangy, and sour. It was actually a little off putting. Rice (side dish) - Just rice nothing special. Overall, would I eat here again, no. read more

Still Great - every once in a while I see the same guy that opened this location! Super kind & welcoming. Spicy Fried chicken (side) is too good to skip. read more

This was one of the first eateries I tried since moving to LA. Never disappoints. Yummy bulgogi bowl with pickled cucumbers & a good amount of veggies. Fills you up pretty well.

BBQ+RICE Venice - Bulgogi (Beef) Bowls - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love this spot, some of the best rice bowls out there, and the food is consistently good. Unfortunately, my recent experience upset me a bit. At the Venice Blvd. location they have a service person that has a big curly hairdo which was not covered. I didn't mind at first because he was working the register, but then he went in the back and started to prepare food -- without a hairnet. He prepared quite a few orders while I was waiting and when I sat down outside to eat with my wife after a few minutes it was closing time. He came outside while cleaning tables and just said to us "we're closed" very curtly. I was surprised because he was nice when I ordered so I didn't think he would respond that way. They could do better to train their employees on customer service, but also food handling. read more

One of my go-to delivery spots. I personally love the spicy chicken because it's got good heat and is cooked perfectly. Great rice too and the portion sizes are generous. Don't forget to add a side of their homemade kimchi! read more

I am proud to say I come here about twice a week because i have school in the area. the quantity is generous considering the bowl is about $13 if i'm not mistaken either way it's worth it. I am pretty loyal to the spicy chicken bowl and 10/10 recommend it along side with the bulgogi and rice bowl too. the service is nice, where i'm always greeted by a friendly staff, the restaurant is always clean , the area is safe and walkable which makes it all the better. read more

One of my goto lunch spots, simple menu, great food and priced just right!!! Love the chicken mayo and spicy chicken!!

BBQ+Rice: An unassuming, no-frills, simple, hole-in-the-wall spot that whips out filling, delicious, and affordable bowls. There's much more than what meets the eye here. The food is killer. The photos do not show justice to my beef bulgogi bowl (double protein). The meat was tender and flavorful. The rice satisfyingly absorbed the sweet, tangy, and dreamy sauce. The fresh and fermented vegetables provided a nice and healthy touch. Altogether, the bowl slapped. Want something quick, filling, and satisfying? BBQ+Rice is your spot. read more

BBQ+RICE Venice - Spicy Chicken and House made kimchi - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My date and I were looking for places to eat in the area that was in walking distance and we stumbled upon this place. The inside is small and there is very limited seating area so be prepared to either sit in your car or stand. Nonetheless it was a fantastic experience. The people were polite and the menu was very simple and easy to read. Prices were very reasonable which is a surprise in this current economy. I got the Spicy Chicken Bowl for $12 dollars and my date got the Spicy Chicken Mayo. They were both fantastic. We waited a good 10 minutes for our food. The person who took our order brought it outside which was lovely. My only critique is on the menu i didn't see a single drink. Maybe if you ask they'll give you options or maybe I missed something. Other than that I would come back here! Please keep those fantastic prices and that amazing quality food! read more

My new lunch fav!!! So good! Been meaning to try this spot for a while now. I ordered Uber eats because I didn't have time to go in. It came packaged well and hot!! Came pretty fast as well. Everything tasted so fresh! I will definitely go in and give them a visit next time to check out the ambiance! I will leave an updated review for that! read more

Once again my order was wrong. I ordered extra rice, no extra rice. I ordered no pickles, I got pickles. Update: I called them about this and was offered the choice of either a refund or a free bowl next time I came in. Much to my surprise I received a call from Edward, the owner, who apologized very sincerely and we had a nice talk. Great customer service and went out of their way to make things right. So I changed my review from two stars to five. read more

Nice friendly staff taking order. Good food. Reasonably priced, too. Will be back. nothing more to add

This spot has quickly become one of my go-to lunch and dinner places on the Westside. The portions are solid, everything is super fresh, and the flavors are on point. I usually get the garlic chicken or the spicy pork--both are packed with flavor and served over perfectly cooked rice with kimchi and veggies on the side. The setup is casual but clean, and the service is always friendly and efficient. Food comes out fast, even when they're busy. Pro tip: Add the fried egg and extra sauce--you won't regret it. read more

Don't have too much to say about my meal. It was a hearty meal and tasted fresh. The portion size for LA was big given the price point (def affordable). Got the black pepper chicken bowl. While it tasted good and could of prob served two people, I will say it was very salty. More so than other bowls (almost typed bowels there) I've gotten from other similar restaurants. About an hour after finishing my meal, I couldn't stop drinking water. Can I complain given the $11 price point? Prob not. I will prob stick to their apps and sides next time I go. For my personal preference, just too much salt going on in the bowl. Stay hungry my friends (thirsty too in this case). Cheers. read more

I saw this place on my hot & new and the pictures posted on Yelp looked delicious. It's at a perfect spot right next to a liquor store. It was pretty crowded with people waiting on their order and talking about how good the food was so I knew it was worth it. I order the beef Bulgogi and the spicy chicken. I knew it would take a while so I headed next door to grab a lottery ticket, wine, snacks... This place is legit and worth the wait. Please take into consideration that spicy means spicy lol I can handle spice and it was definitely SPICY, even cough as I took my first bite. Wow but yummy!!! Spicy chicken: 5/5 Bulgogi: 4.5/5 Dumplings: 4/5 Service was good Wait time: 20-45min Check out this place! read more
