    Galbi

    TL;DR - my current favorite spot, amazing pork belly, many great options, nice and attentive staff too Bull BBQ is one my current favorite Korean BBQ spots in the south bay! Super nice and friendly staff. They're very attentive. Nice ambiance too, not too noisy or anything. The highlight of this place is the quality of their meats. We got the B menu which includes all the goodies. The most enjoyable meat was their pork belly. They have a variety of pork belly options. Normally pork belly tends to be on the slightly thicker side which translates too it being too fatty and chewy. So it usually takes longer to eat and if there's a marinade.. it tends to be a big punch of saltiness in your mouth. Their cuts here were thinner! It was so tasty and perfect that we ended up getting several orders! Their galbi, angus brisket, pork cheek, etc were all delicious too. Nice sides and soups too! Highly recommend this place. I'm definitely coming back!

    Easy parking lot . Casual , cozy, family owned feel. Prices comparable to other k bbq restaurants . Came on a Tuesday night, we were seated right away, lots of happy customers already eating . Plenty of tables . Despite the busyness, the customer service was friendly , positive attitude, smiles, efficient. I really liked the dipping sauce. The bulgogi was great, good texture, good flavor. The beef belly and beef brisket as expected. Kimchi pretty good as well. Had a very pleasant dinner with the hubby :)

    Solid spot for AYCE KBBQ, limited ban chan, but we are here for the meats. The selection is not as extensive but it is good and tasty. Hits the spot. Fiendly staff, not to noisy, get a booth if you can.

    I've been here multiple times and it's always been my favorite Korean bbq spot. The food is great especially their spicy pork. They give a perfect amount of sides. The people are helpful and quick when it comes to bringing our food out. The place is fairly big and almost every time I've been here we have been seated in less than 20 mins. However, recently I went and I looked under the table to find a big clump of fat leaking from the stove. It was disgusting but this is the only time I've ever seen this.

    A very good local KBBq option - typically for those that know what they like and are maybe in it more for the quantity than quality - but overall service is always on top of things for you and you get a few nice sides. I usually just go with the A menu, find it more than enough choices to satisfy most cravings! A typically more fun and lively atmosphere on weekend nights with groups and couples out having a good time - an overall fun local place that feels more authentic than say GEN - check it out!

    This place was recommended by our tax guy name Ish. He is from Family Tax Service. Btw he is the best! Came here and I love that it was not crowded yet. The service was so great. I feel like it was old school (authenticity) meaning the service, atmosphere and the feeling when you are there. I even felt like we were in koreatown. People there were very welcoming and attentive. Ensuring that we have everything we needed and they even cut our meat. They do it so effortlessly. It was very nice. As for the food...surprisingly delicious. I usually don't like Korean marinated food but here I tried the marinated meats. It was delicious! It was too sweet like many other places. I don't like my food to be sweet at all as I am more to the salty side. Overall this place will be our go to spot every year or whenever we come back down this way in town.

    bull bbq is my favorite Korean bbq the food is always spot on . The side dishes are delicious I can't stop ordering. the service is good when it's busy we still have good service. This time around we got busy with conversations that the waiter was moving the food because it was burning thanks to her we had crispy meat lol . The ambiance is great I love this place.

    I always love going to AYCE Korean BBQ and this is one of the place. They are understaffed but really get back to you as quick as they can for ordering and changing grills. Their price is very competitive for the quality of meat that they offer. I ordered: 1. Black pork belly 2. Marinated pork neck 3. Angus beef brisket 4. Beef tongue 5. Prime beef rib eye 6. Marinated LA galbi 7. Spicy baby octopus 8. Steamed egg 9. Ramen 10. Soybean paste stew

    Bulls BBQ in Gardena is perfect for groups -- all-you-can-eat, affordable, and fun. Delicious sides, quality premium cuts, and friendly staff who happily recommend dishes make every visit smooth and enjoyable. Great food, service, and value -- highly recommend!

    Bull bbq is an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) Korean barbeque. Served for a reasonable price in LA, Bull bbq offers delicious, fresh, nicely seasoned, banchan, an abundant and versatile selection of meat, and thoughtful and heartwarming soups and sides. I am definitely missing some photos this time (Menu, steamed egg, soups, and some meats) but I can assure you that my experience at Bull bbq was exquisite, the service was swift and attentive with frequent grill changes, with each meat platter being a fresh and generous serving. I loved eating the pork belly (I ate maybe 6 plates ), which had options of being seasoned with curry or spices, or being marinated with soy sauce (This one was exceptionally tender!), they had a taste which notified me of freshness with every bite. I can't eat beef, but my aunt says the Angus beef brisket was tender and very good. The steamed egg was the best I've eaten at any Korean bbq, it was creamy, moist, airy, and savory. Despite being an AYCE, their sides were so comforting and delicious with only a single criticism being that soybean paste stew was a bit too salty. Overall, I had an extremely good experience at Bull bbq and 100% plan to visit again to try the B menu and take photos of some things I missed. June 10th, 2025: I went for a revisit with my running team and food quality still good! Delicious savory soybean broth, I love the steamed egg (ate four extras from my friends) and the meat quality is still way better than some other AYCE BBQ places, price has rose from $28.99 to $29.99 but I will still prefer Bull BBQ as my go to AYCE Korean Barbeque as it has the best tasting side dishes, great meat quality, amazing steamed egg, quick and plentiful grill changes, and good marinades!

    Post workout! Lol

My fav was the high quality beef tongue. Huge contrast to the normal beef tongue. Also liked the short rib. I got shiso rice w dried and fresh shiso which I adore and it was super good.

    I arrived at this place through a quick google search. I was in the mood for Korean BBQ and in…read moreGardena so the visit was produced by convenience and chance. And, although, I found this place to be good, in the sea of Korean BBQ places this place remains just good, maybe standard, and does not stand head and shoulders above the rest. But I do not mean that as an insult, and if one has perspective this can be praise. For instance, take a ninja. He might not be the ninja that is destined to wheel the throwing stars of destiny, but he still had a stedy career within a vast ninja army. Moreover, being able to steadily continue amongst many might not earn you gold stars on your forehead, but at least it keeps one going on their path till they are ready put their sword and nunchucks down. In other words, there is nothing wrong with being good on average because not all people can climb a mountain in a mythic way, some people climb the mountain through their own speed and step, and never give up, they just stay on their path of good. My partner in bite and I stuck to only three meats--- the chicken, the brisket and the pork belly. And all of these bites were solid but the pork belly was a standout bite. To say that the pork belly was yummy! would be an understatement, for the pork belly was yummy!!!I. I took the brsket, their cabbage salad, a brown sauce that was sweet, and chicken and rice and mixed it in the cabbage salad bowl. All the flavors working together was what made the food spectacular, it had become an ensemble that carried the meal. Truly, the sum of the parts made the whole a flavor blast. In contrast, my dining buddy took a spoon put rice on top, then the brisket on top, then dunk the spoon into a small dish with the brown sweet sauce then deposited the full spoon into his mouth. He assembled each spoonful. I note this to remind all of us that there is no wrong way to eat because I mixed, he assembled, someone else might construct while another might create using the spoon as a brush and the sauce to stroke across a plate. This place did have some practices that were all of its own. My favorite was the water kettle that was brought and poured into the fire to quell its flames. It felt ceremonial, like the kings of the past saw these kettles used when their fire flames needed to be extinguished when they were done with the meal. I also never had a korean noodle soup as part of a korean bbq experience. It kind of tasted like chicken noodle soup more than a korean soup. Some of the small side dishes include radish, and rice paper. Imagine small tortillas. One can use them to make small "tacos" with meat, and vegetables. I just used a lazy explanation to describe the Korean papers and their purpose. It kind of broke the spell of the Korean dining experience. But I went with the words that the server used to explain the papers as well. And there is no clearer way to explain the use of the small circular rice paper wraps than to say one will assemble small Korean tacos with them. There was also potato salad, Kimchee, and other flavor builders. For me it is always fun to construct and enhance my plates with the use of all available to me. And when eating Korean bbq the possibilities are maybe endless. The service was engaging and attentive. Our grill got changed maybe like four times, and there was the kettle that was used to lessen the fire. I did clip a video of the fire ablaze. The fire was high- for a korean bbq grill- and it was tall probably taller than I have ever seen at a Korean place. So this place this offer me that. My partner in grill, noted that the place does not offer us to take meats home. And that they might charge for uneaten food. He worried that we were going be charged at the end for not eating all our meat but we did not leave a lot behind. We just left enough for it to be known as the standard amount that one leaves behind when one engages on AYCE Korean BBQ experience.

Now for the good things which there is a lot: The meat is great. I've noticed that the more popular Korean bbq spots like Gen or 92 in Torrance don't have good meat. This place 100% does. It tastes fresh. As for sides, you get kimchi, white rice, and a couple other things but there's also cilantro & onion mixed together which I thought was different. You get a salad and the assortment of sauce they provide was delicious. Their beer selection is mid but they offer soju too. I'm not very picky with beer. I enjoyed cass with my dinner. The brisket was great and if you like beef bulgogi, you would select their sirloin which is the same. The workers are incredibly friendly. They will change your grill, help put your food on the grill for you, clear out your table, etc etc. They all are very attentive. The tables are circular which is odd and then there's one big table in the back which is kind of in its own little room. I came on a Wednesday night and it was slightly busy so I can only imagine what a weekend night is like here. The music is fun & the food truly is 5 stars. I love Moon bbq. I will be back!

I had seen some social media posts raving about this place & with this being located in the South Bay area, I knew it was going to be worth the drive. There are 3 different courses to choose from, Tenma Omakase $50 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, 5 varieties of wagyu meat, curry rice, today's dessert. Butcher Omakase $75 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, US Wagyu sashimi, 7 varieties of meat, curry rice, today's dessert. Wagyu Omakase $90 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, US Wagyu sashimi, 7 varieties of meat, curry rice, Chef's special dessert. You have a choice of beef curry or upgrading for A5 Wagyu sushi $10 & adding uni for another $10. I got the Butcher Omakase with the A5 Wagyu sushi topped with uni. They bring the big slab of wagyu sushi & literally torch it to give it an added flavor. It was definitely good but I would actually skip the uni as the creamy flavor of uni & the fatty wagyu flavor cancel each other out. It diminishes the greatness of 2 amazing ingredients. The beef soup is a consommé made from the wagyu bones/trimmings & it has such a richness, the bold umami flavor really leaves you speechless. The pickled vegetables and kimchi were okay. I would have preferred spinach goma-ae or something like a small cucumber & wakame salad. Each course of meat was slightly different. There were 3 different cuts of tongue, all good but the cut from the underside of the tongue was a bit chewy. As each course came, the meat quality & flavor kept getting better! All of us agreed that the best & the star of the Omakase is/was the Wagyu Sukiyaki!! The sweet smell of the sukiyaki sauce drizzled over the wagyu as it sizzled on the grill was drool-worthy. Once it was quickly cooked, the wagyu is dipped into the whipped sukiyaki cream! It looked so weird but it was absolutely heavenly!! You can order small bowl of ramen or extra cuts of different wagyu but the Sukiyaki Wagyu is not available a la carte or as an extra serving. Darn it! The dessert was a Hoji-cha purin (pudding or more like flan). I've never had Hoji-cha purin & it was actually as good if not better than matcha to end the scrumptious meal. The service there was top notch, each dish was explained well and they cooked the meat quickly with attention to detail, good presentation. Our waitress even came out from behind the counter to take pictures of our extended family by the wall sign next to the front door! Wagyu Butcher has a wrap around rectangular counter seating only so it is a bit tricky to seat in a big group. We had 6 of us and it was hard to have a conversation with everyone. The only problem I saw with this seating arrangement was how they accommodate guests in wheelchairs or special mobility devices. Maybe they have a table in the back corner that I didn't see from where I sat. We all want to go back again for the next special occasion dinner! It was worth every minute of the drove down & more!!

    My date and I were craving some long overdue Korean BBQ and we were in the perfect area to grab…read moresome. We gave this place a try because we were excited to see they have Rice Wine here (since most of the mainstream KBBQ places didn't have this), and we were satisfied beyond our expectations. Parking: A very small dim lot next to the restaurant. Right below the small sign that sits above it. Ambience: We came on a Saturday night (7:00pm) expecting busy wait times but we called in and there was no wait! We were immediately seated. It's a very small restaurant, the booths are big enough to fit a family but bigger parties may need to call in to see if space is available. The vibes are especially different from most bigger and popular places but this qualifies as a hidden gem for sure. Service: Quick and nice! Second time coming to a place where they cook it for you at some points and serve you. They check on you often enough and were quick to see you get all that you ordered. Food: Absolutely nothing I've never had before, we knew we wanted brisket and pork belly, we skipped out on the combos + intestine sections bc of this. Luckily our two meat combo qualified us to also receive a soybean paste soup, steamed egg, and corn cheese for free! We additionally added rice paper to our order for a small charge. The menu is vast and I would like to come back here to try their different meats. I have never had a more flavorful brisket in my KBBQ experience before and the pork belly was thick enough and had that chewiness texture that made it so enjoyable. Employee was nice enough to inform us that the soup + steamed egg are carefully cooked with real flavorful ingredients, so expect high-quality. We didn't go into this place expecting AYCE since we believe places that offer à la carte specializes in quality, so please come with the same idea if you choose to go here! Regardless, our small bodies were filled by how much food we received! Overall, I gave this place a chance despite its smaller reviews, smaller atmosphere, and a generally smaller presence this had in comparison to its competitors. I would suggest you do the same too!
