    Sides
    An P.

    I genuinely appreciated Rosa's service today. My brother and I both wanted to eat KBBQ after a long day of work. We ordered the 3P. The amount of meat we received was well worth the price! We had brisket, pork belly, and galbi. They put thought into how much food to provide for the price given. Rosa stopped by often to cook for us and changed our grill before we even asked. This place has been around for years. I've been coming here since my teens! Ambiance is mom and pop. I've recently moved back home for school, and I'm glad I have access to KBBQ just minutes away. I wish Hwang's many more years of success. A staple in Gardena.

    Grilled Mackerel & Small Soybean Paste Stew
    Benjamin N.

    This place was a great find on a Sunday night! The owner is so warm, friendly and accommodating. We felt right at home! It was perfect! I don't really eat beef, so came for the Soybean Stew and Mackerel! Both dishes were so good and the portion sizes were very large! Barley tea was a good pairing with this and we will definitely be back!

    Tofu Kimchi (and pork!)
    Alex C.

    I ordered the Tofu Kimchi and WOW, it was absolutely fantastic. Honestly, if I had to pick a last meal, this might be it. The portion was massive and lasted me three full meals and it tasted amazing every single time, even when reheated. What really blew me away was how much pork was packed in. So flavorful and satisfying, it completely exceeded my expectations. 5 stars!

    Yum!

    GOOD FOOD, DECENT SERVICE, AMAZING SALAD!! My bf and I went here before our movie date night, and I loved it. We literally whipped out yelp, and went to whatever Korean bbq that was closest! FOOD: 4/5 We ordered the 2 meats, and we picked the spicy pork, pork belly, and a few sides. My fav side was That friggin pancake thing, it was BOMB! It comes with 2 drinks, 2 rice, spicy cucumber, green salad, bean sprouts, and mashed potatoes. The only thing I didn't really like was potato salad- other than that, everything else was great! The meats were fresh and well seasoned, and I would definitely order the pork combo again! PRICE: 5/5 The price was $70.00 for two, including tax. It's about average, and I think it was decently priced. We had a lot of food, and it was really worth the price. CUSTOMER SERVICE: 2.5/5 Well, we did go during "hurricane Hillary" lol. So service was...well, not great, and not good either. It was my only negative feedback of our experience here, if I'm being honest. There was an older lady trying to serve the sides, and one guy seating, taking orders, ringing up, and trying to serve as well... as he was doing all of those things, us and other tables needed refills, napkins, to order other things...it's was just a mess. However, I know being short staffed must be the worst feeling for any business, so I try to give them grace. ALL AROUND: 4/5 I will definitely be coming back! After reading some of the other reviews, I see that people genuinely love this place, but the only complaint is the service. I know this place will continue to get better, and I hope when we go back it improves.

    Banchan. Love that they included pancake and potato salad.

    Home style Korean soup and dishes! Plus Korean BBQ with a burner on each (small) table which is great when there's just two of you. No need to wait to eat KBBQ with a large group, and because it's not AYCE they use higher quality meats than buffet style places. It's a family owned and run business that's been around for decades! Super friendly staff and the mom was cooking when we visited recently which was a huge plus for delicious authentic food. Portion sizes were excellent and they provided a lot of banchan side dishes including ones you don't always get at most Korean spots, yay. We ordered a bimbimbap and beef soup (galbi tang) and the soup really made me feel like I was eating homemade healthy comfort food. It had clear noodles and daikon and delicious meat on the bone. They're open late which is awesome. Just be aware that the last call is more than an hour before closing. When we ate recently we saw them turn away people 1 hour, 15 mins prior to the yelp listed close time.

    My new favorite Korean BBQ restaurant! It's not all you can eat but it's really good! So much flavor in all the meats and sides we ordered. We came in with a group of 8 and they say is right away and we're so accommodating and sweet with our kids. Our server even cut our kids some meat for them and played some kids music. It was so sweet of them and food was amazing! I highly recommend and will be back very soon!

    I'm not too picky when it comes to Korean BBQ, but I do prefer quality over quantity so I loved that Hwang's was no longer AYCE because the quality definitely showed in the meat selections we ordered. We ordered the Combo E which consisted of 5 meats of our choice (ok to double up) and either a soju or 5 sodas. We chose 2 brisket, 1 pork belly, 1 spicy bulgogi, and 1galbi. This was enough to feed our group of 7 adults and get us full, so you know Hwang's is not skimping on their portions. Also, 10/10 for service - the owner was SO sweet and personable. Looking forward to coming back the next time I am in the area.

    Oh my gosh! There is so many things to say about this place. My family and I have been coming here since 2016 and can never find something similar or better! I love getting their take out and even eating there! The food is always so flavorful and delicious!!! The customer service as well is so great and we love April so much she is so kind and welcoming!! Overall the best place to go to and eat with the family.

    Yummy brisket

    If you are looking for a place that is open late with great meats and friendly service, This is the place: Landed in LAX hungry after flying for 14.5 hours. Didn't get rental car until 10:30pmish. Was in search for Korean BBQ that is open late. Found this life saver. Walked in at 11:05pm. They close at midnight on Saturday. New management. The mom and son was Uber- friendly. Great service. Satifying bbq. We ordered Combo C for three people, choice of 3 meat and sides. Ordered Brisket, Bullogi, Boneless rib and pork belly. We couldn't eat them all, so we took the leftovers home. Definitely have to come back when in the area again.

    Jason L.

    In Gardena this is the best Kbbq option. No frills, just good food and service. The menu isn't overly complicated. They have a few combos fairly priced with all the sides you need to fill you up. The meats + sides offered were of good quality and tasty. Highly recommend.

    Lil sides & beef brisket being cooked

    The food we ordered was a bountiful plenty, the beautiful hostess at the stand kindly greeted us & sat us. Immediately other people started coming in & the restaurant was busy but gave me a nostalgia feeling. It was the first time taking my little sister out & treating her to Korean bbq. Oh yeah they also let you keep all the food you ordered unlike most Korean bbq places !! Would & will come again :)

    Side dishes for bbq aka banchan
    Jenny M.

    Arrived just before 11pm and they still allowed us in and to order as normal - did not feel rushed at all considering it was getting close to closing time. The staff were really friendly. Food was great, we ordered two meats and a soup to share. The meat and all side dishes came out and I was so overwhelmed I had to ask if the kitchen could prepare the soup for take away. The lady came over to help us cook our bbq meats after which was nice as we were hungry and wanted to eat and leave so they could get on with their closing. We asked if we could take everything we couldn't eat away and they packed it for us nicely. There were a few others in the restaurant but they were finishing up. I really enjoyed it here and was very satisfied with my meal considering I literally rolled out of a nap and went to eat some bbq before sleeping again like a beast. Thank you for making my belly happy. Would recommend!

Some parts of Japan might feed their wa-gyu herd beer and rice. Sakakiyama apparently puts their cows on a steady diet of rice straw, then cashew nut meal. I can tell you, the result is pretty damn good. While there is still that lovely, oily, marbled fat, it is leveled out in harmony with the beef content. I think those of you that have bought like, some $150/oz A5 Wagyu cut from a high end steak place know just how cloyingly rich a mere 2 or 3 ounces of beef can be. We tried out every top tier cut you could grill at this fabulous yakiniku. A5 ribeye, A5 short rib, A5 chuck flap, A5 ribeye sukiyaki style (the thinly sliced beef to dip into a beaten raw egg), A5 top round, A5 topround steak cut, A5 sirloin, A5 tenderloin... and even.... A5 Chateaubriand (that lovely tenderest part of the tenderloin that includes the filet mignon). They are all lovely and enjoyable in their own way, in their own way that they begin to grill, or even the way the wagyu kind of caramelizes into its Maillard reaction of cooking that lovingly marries that amino acid meatiness to the beef's inherent sugars. Your bite into heaven is merely the cost of Sakakiyama beef. And that glorious Chateaubriand, so beefy, yet lusciously tender, as that melted marbled fat boosts its power the way hollowfication boosts Kurosaki Ichigo's bankai to untold magnitudes of dominance!!! And don't skimp on the sides. Splurge on that demure bowl of shiso rice. The seasoning and sliced shiso leaves over white rice really brightens and freshens up the palate in a way that really complements rich fatty wagyu beef. The plate of seasonal vegetables are also the way to go. Just do it. Fresh, acidity, crisp vegetables brings harmony to the whole experience. And pair it all to a glass of red wine, or tall glass of Suntory The Premium Malts. It's what Ryo Saeba, the City Hunter would do. If you're splurging this much, might as well go all the way. Ne? Nyaa?! Victory must be absolute. Personal service might be slow, but they only had like 2 people on staff on the floor, running between only... EVERY table. But if you want to get their attention, use the electric bell on the table. But they're good people. Nice people. The greatest people. Serving some of the greatest food, the greatest beef. So some reviewers might think this yakiniku joint is among the worst. But I think it's one of the greatest! [Last note: we were lucky to grab a 50% off premium cuts weekend discount, normally this meal which heartily fed a party of 4 with drinks, would cost in the neighborhood of over $600. But even they do have a more accessible menu of US Prime cuts along with A5 and non-A5 wagyu.]

Cheese Pancake : Crispy outside, soft inside, with melted cheese wrapping around the green onions. Great texture between bites of meat. Kimchi Stew : The depth of aged kimchi comes through clearly -- not harsh, just clean and comforting. Steamed Egg : Soft, fluffy, and cloud‑like. Simple but perfect.

Every bite is a little adventure: chewy, creamy, and slightly dangerous if you underestimate the spice. * Kimchi fried rice, amazingly Smoky, tangy, and perfectly balanced, like the DJ of the meal, keeping everything vibing. The kimchi flavor hits that sweet spot between "I'm alive" and "I might need water." It's the kind of dish that makes you nod mid-bite like you just heard a good beat. * The chicken, super Crispy outside, juicy inside, the kind of crunch that could be used as a sound effect in movies. It's seasoned like it's trying to flirt with you, and honestly, it's working. Every piece feels like a small victory in the war against bland food. Second time back and still laughing between bites, not because anything's funny, but because the food's that good. It's the kind of meal that makes your stomach clap and your soul hum. If happiness had a flavor, it'd taste like this. "One bite at a time!" Miguel C.

    I've been eating here since it opened (30+ times). The chicken wings are much smaller than before…read moreand the crispy coating is now very thin. A 16 piece used to barely close in the box and now a 24 piece closes easily. As a result, since I believe they cook for the same amount of time, it is now very dry (smaller wings and much less batter). The portion of French fries has also shrunk by around 30% or more. This is a franchise so each one is independently ran, but I will likely choose another location if next time is the same.

    HELLO PEASANTS! I write to you from Heaven, for I have…read moretasted the goodness of God here at Wagyu Butcher, and I have transcended to a higher place. It starts with one of the chefs enthusiastically showing me and my wife some of the A5 Wagyu that he'd be using from Japan and I'm like, "sir. I know wagyu." I took my wife to The Cut on our first Valentines together (not compensating) and they had good Wagyu. I was wrong, dear readers. Dead wrong. This place knows Wagyu. Whichever tier you get, make sure it either comes with, or add on the A5 Wagyu Filet. They'll tell you to cook it 45 seconds each side (so 6 times), but here's a trick. do 45 seconds on four sides (the top, bottom, and the long sides), and then a bit of salt if you need it and some lemon slice. ADD THE LEMON JUICE!! BUT NOT TOO MUCH. That will take you out. You're welcome peasants. Think of me when you try it. Or don't. I might be pooping and I don't like the idea of people thinking of me while I poo. The server was awesome too. I didn't catch her name because I was too busy being a fatass.

    A really unique and authentic Japanese wagyu experience!

I chose the Wagyu Omakase, and it was definitely a big and filling meal. You cook each piece of wagyu one by one at the counter, so this is a great place if you want to slow down, enjoy the process, and really take your time with dinner. The meat was very good, although some pieces were more heavily marinated than I personally prefer, but overall it wasn't too much. The service was good, the atmosphere was nice, and the whole experience felt very Japanese and authentic. The surrounding area also has quite a few authentic Japanese restaurants, so it's a great neighborhood for Japanese food lovers. Definitely worth checking out if you love wagyu and want something a little different from the usual sushi omakase!
