Seriously a hidden gem. I'm honestly surprised more people don't talk about this place because it's one of the most decent priced AYCE option with endless kalbi. That alone deserves recognition because more and more KBBQ places are limiting that to 2 max per person. The host was attentive, service was quick, and we never had to wait long for anything. Well, minus the additional rice paper and radish dishes here and there nudging them to remind them for a refill. To end the meal, they include ice cream which doesn't happen often. If you ask nicely, they'll even let you get more. A great random find and can't wait to return. read more

One of the friendliest, greatest bang-for-your-buck kbbq places I've had in recent memory! Went on the weekdays for the $21.99 lunch special, and the servers set up our tables promptly and with a smile, being very receptive and accommodating to our orders. Plenty of condiments, with ssamjang and garlic and their own sour sauce too. The meat comes out in huge slices and plates, and the meat is thinly slices and tender with our brisket and beef belly. The bulgogi is also cut in slices rather than strips, which I prefer. They were very attentive with ordering so you are comfortable throughout the meal. It's a nice and clean spot with window light and bar space. They have blinds as well, so you are comfortable however you want it. There were TVs showing sports, so it was very homely. This place felt like home away from home and I look forward to dining with them again! read more

Tucked away in LA Crescenta, it's a hidden AYCE KBBQ spot that is pretty affordable for lunch! We were seated right away for a group of 4. We came around 3 and were able to get the lunch special. The servers were attentive and great about refilling the salads and banchan. The egg souffle was tasty as well! The selection isn't huge but the meats were still good. The boneless rib was our favorite as it was tender and flavorful. If you're in the area, I recommend coming here for KBBQ instead of heading down to KTown for lunch! read more

For an AYCE restaurant in the valley, it's okay, but when you compare it to places in Glendale/LA 20-30 minutes away, the quality of the meat is by far sublime and not fresh. You can pretty much see the terrible quality visually before you smell or taste it. Meats are served all stuck to each other like a frozen slabs and extremely thin. The best food I had was the steamed eggs & the ice cream. I'd just recommend getting the brisket meat-wise. Workers were all nice regardless, just that the quality doesn't fit the price. read more

I eat here once a week. For $22 AYCE kbbq lunch this is a great deal. This is all about quantity. Though quality is not bad. You get all the meats you want. Banchan is a bit light but that's fine. I'm here for the meat. One thing notable. The service is remarkable. They will get your food fast and they are friendly. Very attentive staff makes sure you are taken care of. Ambience is fine. Clean and organized. I will keep coming back every week. read more

Friendly staff, reasonable prices, good value. A solid spot for AYCE KBBQ especially in this part of town. They do have high chairs in case you were searching. The menu is quite extensive for the price, but my favorites are the marinated boneless ribs and the bulgogi. The ribs come out super tender and their bulgogi isn't overly sweet, which is what I prefer. While I wish the brisket was a little more marbled/fatty, it may not be realistic for the price, which is fine by me. The ice cream at the end is always a nice touch! read more

Cham Sut Gol - Bulgogi and short rib - Korean Near Me - Glendale, California

If you're looking for AYCE KBBQ in LA, this spot might be THE ONE. I came for weekday lunch (so I can't speak on dinner/weekends), but everything was on point. It's in a plaza with easy parking, and the vibe inside is clean and comfortable with booths, big tables, TVs, and space that doesn't feel cramped. Now let's talk about the REAL reason you come here: THE MEAT. The cuts are thicker than most AYCE places, and the quality is seriously next level. It might be the best AYCE meat I've had in LA. Service was fast, staff was friendly, and it wasn't overly crowded. The playlist was on point too, straight R&B which made the whole experience even better. Bathrooms on-site and the layout is flat + accessible, so anyone with mobility needs will be comfortable. Overall, this is easily one of my favorite KBBQ spots right now. 10/10 would come back. read more

Cham Sut Gol - Brisket, pork belly, and bulgogi! - Korean Near Me - Glendale, California

We were a party of 6, with 4 kids and I think we had the best service I've had at a restaurant in awhile. Wait staff was very quick to bring out our orders of meat (our first platters of meat showed up before we even finished giving them our order!), friendly to swap out grills, and receptive even to our kids placing orders. We stuck mostly to the beef, but we did also try the octopus and an order of pork ribs. Our favorite was hands down the marinated boneless short rib - unreal how tender the meat was. My son's favorite (as always) is the beef brisket (the one without marinade) and he and the other kids basically kept ordering sushi the whole time. The restaurant is pretty sizable, clean and well lit. Really great find for Korean food outside of Koreatown. Price is very reasonable. Would definitely come back! read more

Came for dinner with Johann and the kids, while the moms went out elsewhere. I am not sure where the moms went, but we may have gotten the better choice! The food quality was excellent, and he favorites were the boneless ribs, the bulgogi, and the bone in short ribs. Service was great, and the location was even better (very close to my house!) AYCE is about $35 for adults and $17 for kids 6 to 9. It was not overly crowded on a Saturday, so we were able to get in quickly at 7:30pm. I've had my eye on this place for a while, so glad that we finally gave it a try. I'm happy to make this my new "go-to" korean bbq spot that is local to me. Would rather save the drive to K-town and eat here! It did have ventilation that was fine, but I def smelled like korean bbq after. That is expected though! Overall fun night!! read more

When and while living in Glendale, we considered ourselves regulars as my wife and I were practically here 3-4 times a month and have recommended this place to all our family and friends in the area. As many AYCE kbbq spots as we've been to within the LA country, this one is by far the BEST. Now residing in the South Bay, we extremely miss this restaurant for their outstanding hospitable and attentive service, alongside the premium quality of meat cuts they offer within their fair price points. Also to mention as a bonus -- one scoop of ice cream to end your meal. No matter what day or time during the week, and no matter how busy it can get -- you will leave this place satisfied! We hope to be back soon! read more

Cham Sut Gol - Korean Near Me - Glendale, California

Food quality: 4.5/5, surprisingly good meat quality for price Presentation: 5/5, well... Attention to detail: Not really applicable... it is KBBQ... Service: 5/5, attentive! Vibes: It's nice! Pretty open and spacious for a KBBQ place Value: 4.5/5, you don't feel scammed but I wish the lunch option was available on weekends Times been: 2 Return? Yes I don't have a lot to say, since you more or less just pay for meat quality + service, both of which are good. There are good options for the meats, they change your grill out often (incase of burning), and they were not strict about the 90 minute time limit either time I've been. Overall, good KBBQ place to stop at that will not break the bank (that is, if you are hungry, duh). read more

Consistently wonderful service and great food! The staff and just lovely, and so helpful. Clean and open restaurant.

I was looking for a new ayce bbq spot in LA. When arrived, there was no wait time on a Saturday night and also public parking available. Possibly bc the home game World Series was on lol. Go Dodgers! They allow 3 orders per round and extra charge if you don't finish your meats. The following meats and seafood ordered: Pork belly Spicy marinated pork Beef brisket Squid Short ribs Beef belly My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and the staff did an amazing job for a memorable dinner date! read more

My daughters live in Glendale so glad there is this restaurant nearby! Just like Cham Soot Gol in Buena Park! But this is much closer and opens for LUNCH! Lunch is only $19.99 so even better!!!! Restaurant is big, spacious and clean! We went on a Tuesday so not too busy and servers were very attentive! Please look at my pictures to see how much we ate for the 5 of us!!! The brisket is nicely thinly shaved so easy to cook! The Buloggi is marinated so very tasty! We always need to order the Pork Belly too! Generous servings size didn't need to order any more meat! The Korean sides: Kim chee, cucumbers, fish cake, potato salad and my favorite chop chae (long rice). We took a couple visiting from Honolulu and showed them how to use the square rice paper because they have never had it! The thin rice paper is so delicious when you have your meat and crunchy salad rolled up! Remember to get the dessert: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or green tea ice cream!! 5 Stars: close by, good food and good service! Will be back!!! read more

There are times when we don't feel like going to KTown and still want decent KBBQ. Cham Sut Gol is our go-to. It's all-you-can-eat KBBQ which we generally avoid but the meat quality is good here, and the servers are attentive and prices reasonable. Free parking is abundant and we've never had to wait too long to be seated. Definitely go check it out! read more

closest ayce kbbq spot where i'm from! if you're a solo diner during happy hour its $21.99 for 4 servings of meat + a choice of either tofu soup or steamed egg love the staff, cuts of meats is decent, i'd say though the tofu soup could be better. i'm a normal customer here and my go-to order would be the pork belly w/ sauce (ask for salt on the side) + beef belly along w/ steamed egg. love how they give us one mini free scoop of ice cream. i also love that there's a lot of space. compared to most kbbqs, the tables here are big w/ lots of seating space. service is also great, again i love the staff read more

We walked in on a weekday. Never been here before, so this is our first impression review. The place was large and it was not packed, which was a plus. Most Korean bbq locations have at least an hour wait. It's nice to walk in and be seated right away. The servers were really nice and food was coming out in a fast manner. Good selection of meats. Now you might ask: if all is good, why the 3 stars? Well this is where it gets a bit interesting. On the menu they have a selection of meat and sushi. My husband starts ordering tuna sushi. Each order comes with 2 pieces. That is my husband's favorite. So he tells the server, instead of going back and forth, can you please bring us an order of 10 pieces. The server says it's their policy to do one order at a time. We understood. So we started to ordering one at a time. After the 3rd order of sushi, the server starts arriving slower and slower. 5 minutes became 10 minutes, 10 minutes became 15 minutes. Mind you it was only 2 tables they are serving and we are the only one ordering sushi. The server tells us that the reason why our sushi is coming out slowly is because no one orders this small sushi and the sushi they have is a side, only which I'm not sure what that means. Is it not part of the all-you-can-eat menu? So anytime we ordered the sushi the server said it's difficult cutting the sushi. That is whats taking so long. Then they said the machine is closed, so we got the feeling that they are trying to cut us off from ordering sushi. If the sushi isn't all you can eat, why put it on the menu. They didn't charge us extra, but they do cut you off if you ordered too much, which was interesting. Not many all you can eat places come with dessert included, but they do. It comes in little to go cups with one scoop, but that's not all you can eat either. It's one per customer. Overall, the food is good, but they need to be more specific on the menu. We did feel awkward when they started cutting us off on certain things from the menu. Would we come back? I don't know, maybe not. It's too bad because we got a Korean barbecue all the time. Maybe if they improve will come back. read more

Guys this pumps me up. I went to the one over in the Rowland heights area for the longest time. And it makes me happy that they have one in Glendale now. Their brisket, beef belly, and jumuluk is incredible. But there's no other Korean bbq that does a steamed egg like Cham sut gol. Literally the steamed egg is so good, you would think it's a kiss from God himself. read more

This establishment is truly a standout choice for dining. The staff members are exceptionally friendly and efficient, ensuring that orders are delivered promptly and that refills are handled without hesitation. if you leave a little food uneaten, they do not charge extra, which is a thoughtful policy. The menu boasts a wide array of beloved dishes, complemented by a selection of delicious sides that pair well with the main offerings For those looking to secure a dining experience without the wait, calling in advance is a great option, as they will prepare a table for you upon arrival. Additionally, the restaurant is very accommodating for families, making it a kid-friendly environment. Overall, this place comes highly recommended for anyone seeking a pleasant dining experience. read more

Where do I start? Hubby walked in Thursday before Valentine's Day to make reservations for dinner. We get there a couple minutes early. At least 6 employees walked by us without a word. Finally the bus person approached and we said we had reservations at 6 for two people. Blank stare before he walks away. Huh?? Comes back and says there aren't tables do we want to eat at the bar. HUH?!! Round and round finally get a table 15 min later. ***** IMPORTANT: this place is so unbelievably LOUD with about 15 young children and a couple tables with super loud drunks being outrageously obnoxious. Tell our server we've never had Korean bbq but are looking forward to it and please explain how it works. She only tells us we can order 3 meats at a time. Ummmm ok....can I order the salad, rice, etc? Yes, she says and then asked what kind of soup? I said salad, and she answers "ohhhhh". Rice came out when we were nearly finished, salad came out with such huge pieces of lettuce you couldn't eat it and didn't arrive til half way through the meal. Scissors to cut meat were dull, and grill changed only after we had cooked all but one of our meats. We only put it in TWO orders of meat and I was so beyond PISSED OFF at this point that I wanted out never to return. Food was not good, ambiance is like a McDonald's play yard and service was HORRIBLE. read more

Date of visit: March 13, 2024 Selections: (Came at dinner time) - Brisket - Bulgogi - Beef Belly - Marinated Beef - Sliced Beef Short Rib - Salad - California Rolls Experience: Came here with another couple, so it became a spontaneous double date. My husband and I were pretty sure that we had come to this location before a while back, but never remembered the location. So it was a nice surprise when our friends had suggested this place for dinner after our meeting. We arrived at the restaurant a bit after 8:00pm. It took a bit for us to be seated since half of the tables were filled and a fourth of the tables still needed to be cleaned. Once seated, we found little side dishes, such as noodles, kimchi, and fish cakes, and a little foil container of cheese corn on top of the unlit grill. There were also chili sauce and a brisket type sauce containers set up for each of us. We immediately placed our meat orders and the server lit up our grill. We were able to put in four meat orders at a time and they were good about replacing our little water jug. My friend asked for salad for the table and two side orders of rice for our significant others. I was excited that they had a few sushi options to pick from, but we just stuck to California Rolls. I do like how quick we got meat to our table and extra orders of rice paper and refills on things. The meat quality was pretty good and we ate to our full without feeling too sick from eating about 4 rounds of meat between the four of us. My favorites were the brisket as well as the marinated beef. We kept calling the beef belly beef bacon instead amongst ourselves and it did crisp up nicely. I really liked having the fresh, crisp salad as an in between palate cleanser as we continued to eat dinner. I do wish the rice paper was a little bit more floppy, for lack of a better word, because some pieces ended up being a little dried out, but still good. We were told last call would be 9:45pm by one of the waiters, but it ended up being a little earlier than that but we were able to squeeze in our last round of brisket and beef belly. We were offered a little container of ice cream to end the meal that was complimentary and they were nice to not rush us as we finished our meal about 10:00pm, which was closing time for them. I am so excited to come back here again and made sure to bookmark the place so we won't forget for future visits hehe read more

My sister and I decided to visit Cham Sut Gol to see if we can find a new KBBQ spot to frequent in the La Crescenta area. The restaurant appeared to be very clean and the wait staff were super attentive. We ordered the brisket, beef bulgogi, and the short-rib. The portion sizes were big and the meat did not come frozen. The meat was plated very nicely and we were blown away by how delicious everything was, especially the short rib! At the end of our meal, our waitress asked us if we wanted complimentary dessert (one scoop of ice cream per guest). She gave us an extra scoop of ice cream so that we could try an additional flavor! We were very happy with the warm, welcoming service and the amazing food. We will definitely be visiting again! read more

Hooray for the return of kbbq to the La Crescenta/Tujunga/La Canada area! This little kbbq joint is clean, reasonably priced, and has very kind and attentive staff. The meat offering is nice and varied~ It's not as much as other kbbq places in ktown, but I'm not complaining so long as we have an AYCE kbbq restaurant in this area. Also, the steamed egg is super fluffy and very pleasing to the eye! Lol! As far as we can see, they don't have their alcohol license yet, but it looks like they're in the works to get one. Parking is free and easy to obtain. So far, we've gone twice and haven't had to wait to be seated. We'll be coming back! :) read more

Let me begin this by saying Thank you to Sapriani! I called other KBBQ places in the area like Jincook etc and tbh they were rude and not accommodating whatsoever.

Came here Sunday lunch and there was no wait! This was my first time here and I was pretty impressed with the quality of meat. The meats were tender and they had a very good selection. The side dishes were decent as well! This place is AYCE so come hungry! They also have ice cream (matcha or vanilla), which I always love at kbbq! The place is casual and it does get pretty smoky inside so don't wear your favorite coat here. Overall, I'd say it's not the best compared to places in ktown but it's nonetheless pretty good!! read more

Solid all-you-can-eat option with great meat quality for the price point. Parking in the private lot can be a little tight during peak hours, but it's much better than trying to find a spot on the street read more

Tried this place for the first time last night and it was well worth the $35 for dinner. The food was good, especially the brisket it was good quality and they always gave us big amounts per serving unlike other spots that barely fill up a plate each round. Service was top notch as well, they were constantly checking in on us and helping whenever we needed anything. Noise level can get loud due to music and if it's a crowded night, but it's not too big of a deal as everyone is just there to eat and have a good time. Will for sure come back again! read more

I used to love coming here for lunch, So we came again at 2 o'clock for lunch on a Sunday. On the menu it says lunch prices are 26.99 ( there is a weekday special for 19.99). They stay 11 to 4 is lunchtime. But then they told us it was 35 .99 which is the dinner price. When I pressed her that it's 2 o'clock and not dinner time she said they charge the dinner time price. But I pointed to the menu that said from 11 to 4 is lunchtime - she said that's only on holidays and today is a holiday - so i don't get special pricing on a holiday. I explained to her that Sunday - it is not a holiday. It's just Sunday. She said no Sunday is a holiday - weekends are a holiday. At that point, my kids were frustrated and just wanted to eat. So I went ahead and paid the dinner price at 2 o'clock. Part of the reason why we go for lunch, is we need to reduce price because we do not eat that much. So we stuffed ourselves trying to make the $36 per person and we left all feeling sick. And we actually only 4 orders of meat between all of us . One of the ladies , who was passed off to us because I was clearly irritated with being forced to concede today was a holiday and it was dinner time at 2- was very kind and tried to explain that she does know people get frustrated with this. I explained they shouldn't advertise a lunch price on their menu next to the dinner place because 2 o'clock and is not dinner time. 2 o'clock is not even dinner time for my parents who are in their 80s. So we won't be going back. It is too bad. I think that they could probably bring a lot more clients if they did have a good lunch price because that is a really good deal. but I cannot justify paying dinner prices at lunchtime for being told Sunday is a holiday to justify. Even the 35 price is not horrendous, but it's just also not in our budget but more importantly don't advertise a lunch and try to tell me we have to pay more because of dinner or because it's a holiday when it's not. Just say the truth, this is the price all day now, we should change our menu and we need to charge more to cover the staff. I do appreciate the Second Lady's, she was kind . read more

My son and I decided to give this place a try one afternoon and to be honest it did not disappoint us. The seating area is pretty big and roomy great for a group dinner.

Service was great and I love that we don't have to wait too long for our server to ask for things. I have returned already twice and will com to visit. read more
