Husband and wife team, Fred & Nyesha, are personable and great people! Now, here's are my favorites: pork ribs, brisket and OMG! The Beef Rib is AMAZING when it's available! (I think the beef rib is most available on weekends but I keep hope alive during the week. You might get lucky. LOL). Tender meats and never dry. The rub they use (Fred's own recipe) is perfect. I always get my bbq sauce on the side because I don't like my meats drenched or swimming in sauce. The sauce is their own and it's good too but the thing for me with BBQ is when it's REALLY good, you don't need any sauce. This BBQ is THAT BBQ if you feel me. lol. My favorite sides are the greens, beans and Mac and cheese. Oh yeah! And the peach cobbler is a TASTY treat! All homemade delectables! Also, their daughter's Hibiscus Punch is good too! The only drawback is when you are fiendin' like an addict for their food, you have to wait until one of their business days to get it. lol. They are in different locations during the week (but the upside is that they are regularly at their weekly locations - UCLA, Westchester, and USC and usually a Saturday in View Park). But they are only at the locations from 12 noon to 2pm (lunch). Makes me crazy when I forget the day that's most convenient for me or I get busy and not gonna get there in time. Saturday hours are a little longer (till 4pm OR until they run out). Check them out on their IG page @RibsinLA for their schedule. My dream for them is to have a Brick and Mortar store so I can get it anytime the mood of my tastebuds hit me! Try it. You will not be disappointed. Ribs in LA is a Chef's Kiss!

Came upon Gochu Gang while wandering the Global Grill Festival in Northridge, and was very glad to…read moretake a brief detour away from the American-style BBQ that was surrounding them on the midway. The small menu of Korean BBQ items was as appealing as the staff was friendly, quickly serving up their signature Bulgogi taco, topped with fresh onions and cilantro, and accompanied by a cup of mango habañero salsa. Yes, please! The beef was tender and rich, with a mild, Korean BBQ flavor. The spices and BBQ sauce were cleverly cooked into the meat rather than sitting atop it, and so the taco itself had a very simple, "clean" appearance -- but the flavor popped as soon as you bit into it. That said, one had to try the salsa, and I really did love the extra smack of sweet heat that it gave. Yes, there are a bunch of KBBQ trucks and stands to be found in the area, but this was some of the best bulgogi I've had -- and if they've also got friendly folks to chat with, then Gochu Gang has to sit near the top of the list. You should seek them out.

It's in a little plaza with shared parking so you just have to find some parking in the back. They have a great range of options on the menu and the price is absolutely fair for the amount of food you get + the current market. This restaurant is also halal! Huge plus. I always get the shrimp and chicken combo which NEVER disappoints. The food is ready is about 15 minutes and if you call ahead of time they can have it ready by the time you show up which is great. Majority of the frying and cooking happens behind the register so you see everything, they are very clean and I've see the employees switching gloves multiple times as they move around. The decor inside is awesome with blues and a nice ocean-line scenery. I highly recommend this place too all my friends and anyone who wants to grab a great bite for a good price!!!

The restaurant is cozy, service is superb and very friendly. The prices hit just above $$. The Serving Spoon is billed as an urban eatery and that is the vide fo sho! Parking is limited because it's shared, but some spaces are generous in size. There are a couple of handicap stalls. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there with my wife and our daughter.

We all agreed that The Serving Spoon is worthy to be elevated to our favorite breakfast spot.

What an amazing way to enjoy a nice weekend. The bbq was awesome. Tender, smoky, and tasty. We got to try these items. Lamb rack - very tender not gamey at all.

Short ribs - super beefy and tender Pork ribs - Smokey and tender Corn bread - soft, crumbly, and sweet. Yums had like 3 pieces. Baguette - crispy crust, soft airy interior with a nice chew (reminds me of sour dough) Paired the bbq with some beer and cocktails. Super fun dining experience. So close to the beach so we got to check that out as well. Heads up the lot next door is $20. Should Carpool.

My wife and I went with friends and had NO idea what we were walking into. We got there early and ended up waiting almost two hours before they even opened. I was hungry hungry and getting close to hangry... but the wild part? Everyone in line was in a good mood. People were excited. You could tell we were all about to experience something special. When the doors finally opened and we walked in, it felt like a show. You've got Adam at this huge cutting board, chopping smoked meat right in front of everyone. The smell, the energy, the sound of the knife hitting the board -- it's dinner and entertainment. We had the pork belly and ribs. Each plate came with a solid handful of pickles and peppers that cut through the richness perfectly. The pork belly had insane texture -- tender, flavorful, with that little bit of crunch that takes it over the top. Then he drips that mop sauce over it... I was in heaven. The two pieces of Texas toast underneath just soak everything up like a blanket for the meat. No joke, my whole group went quiet while eating. That's how good it was. That meal actually inspired me to buy a smoker and start trying to smoke meat myself. I try... but Adam is out here making magic. Second time was in Venice at Gin Rummy Bar. This time we had ribs again and the Dino beef ribs. Those Dino ribs? Ridiculous. So tender, so rich -- straight meat heaven. The kind of food that makes you close your eyes for a second. Now I literally look for excuses to be near Venice just to see if I can catch the pop-up, even though he sells out all the time. Big thank you to Adam and the crew. This isn't just great BBQ -- it's an experience.
