Visited KTeam BBQ and had a fantastic meal. The brisket was tender, smoky, and full of flavor. The galbi was equally impressive, perfectly marinated and cooked just right. The banchan complemented everything well and added variety to the meal without overpowering the main dishes. Each bite was satisfying and left me completely happy with the spread. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the food. Definitely a spot I would come back to again and again. read more

Got treated to K Team for my birthday! I don't eat beef so I'm always on the prowl for kbbq places with solid pork options and this place doesn't disappoint. Jowl and pork belly are stellar! The side of eggs and rice cake also came as a pleasant surprise so we over ordered a little. The meat got cooked alongside some of the kimchi so it absorbed the fat and was extra flavorful! One of my favorites was the kimchi pancake because it was so thin and crispy. Most restaurants have thicker slices, but it was just perfect here. Parking is "valet" (there's basically someone managing parking in the plaza) so helps to have cash for that. It's a bit small on the inside, but we somehow didn't have a wait. It can get pretty loud in there, but nothing too crazy. Can't wait to come back! read more

Finally got around to trying this place after it was heavily recommended by some friends and I think I've found my new favorite kbbq spot. Although it is a bit of a trek to get to ktown, I think if anything brings us in the area, we will be torn between here and Han Baht. (Yes, it's that good). First, service is insane. The most attentive servers that really check your table to see if anything needs topping up before you have to ask. They also cook the food for you. Meat quality is good but everything that it comes with is even more impressive (see pictures). We also added a Kimchi stew, foolishly thinking we might need more food, it was probably the best Kimchi stew we've had in a while! Mind you, we came for lunch on a Saturday and were one of two tables. Valet parking for $3 (cash only). read more

The pork belly KBBQ was really good,flavorful and well cooked. I also loved the variety of side dishes, and the kimchi fried rice was delicious and satisfying. The service could be better,we had to get the waiter's attention a couple of times,which took away a bit from the overall experience, but the food itself makes it worth trying. read more

Disappointing. Arrived, and their chairs are so small, two of the members of our party could not use them. Weird plastic bucket things. As we left, the host shrugged unapologetically. It doesn't matter how good the food is if your restaurant is not welcoming to all people. read more

Much more intimate than Parks across the street and yes they do cook for you too. I would suggest making reservations at least a day ahead if you want to eat here. It's usually crowded and getting a table for four can be difficult. The quality and service is exceptional. The kimchi fried rice (see pictures) was my favorite and was as good as it looks. Parking is impossible unless you valet or get lucky on the street. read more

I've been looking for a new KBBQ place to take my family and I came across this online. I saw someone posted a photo of the checker pattern tables and I thought it was different from other KBBQ place. I called and surprisingly they take reservation! I was so happy because I hate waiting in line. Imagine waiting on a Friday for dinner. It was for a party of 4 and I arrived 20 mins early . They were able to seat us right away. The menu is simple and easy to read. Here's what we got for the table: Steamed egg Spicy rice cake Beef tongue Beef brisket Thin frozen pork belly x 2 Spicy acorn noodle Kimchi fried rice Terra x 2 Diet Coke Service was great! The ladies are so nice and they cook for you. Looking around I think this restaurant is best for a group of 4 or a group of 6. I loved everything we ate here and if I did not mention this already, it is not AYCE. I miss having potato as a side dish and would have loved to see it offered here. They do offer more condiments than other places and my family wants to go back again next week. Parking was not difficult since it's valet. I believe it was $3, very reasonable. read more

This place is great for non ayce kbbq. The atmosphere is lively. It's loud but not loud enough to where you can't converse with your friends and the servers and service is very good and easy to get ahold of. Almost all the meats we got were excellent. The only one we were ok with was the short rib. The pork jowl was amazing. Same for the beef tongue and brisket. The pork belly was also very flavorful! The banchan was pretty good though it seemed to be missing a few of what I'm use to. However the banchan itself was very high quality. At the end you can ask for the fried rice with egg after the grilling is done and all that's left is veggies. The steamed egg and kimchi Jjigae is a must for sides. This place takes reservations thankfully. Parking is going to be valet only unless you find street parking which is a whole mission in and of itself. Pricing wise. I didn't end up spending more than 60 surprisingly when with alcohol and a large group. Highly recommend this place for high quality mid-range kbbq. read more

This was our first time here, and we enjoyed it! The vibe is casual and welcoming. We ordered a variety of meats, including both thin and thick cuts of pork, as well as skirt meat. The quality of meat did not disappoint. I appreciated that they brought out different types of kimchi to cook alongside the meat. They provided ssam (assorted lettuce, perilla leaves, and my favorite, rice cakes) which was a nice touch. We also ordered dwaenjangjjigae, which was flavorful. As complimentary service, they gave us ddukbokki and gaeranjjim (thank you, K team BBQ!). The ddukbokki was surprisingly good, with a kick of spice and a peppery flavor. To top it off, we ordered bokeumbap with the left over pork oil and it tasted great with the rice being crispy on the bottom. I think our family has found our new go-to Korean BBQ place. Overall, I'd rate food as a 4.3, but because of service I'm rounding it to 5!! read more

Very high quality meats for a slightly more affordable price, they are affiliated with Parks BBQ which is my favorite spot in all of LA. Really enjoyed the steamed egg, ssam spread, and the grilled kimchi and banchan that accompanied our order. They have Parks Beer here too, which we loved at Parks BBQ, and is definitely a must try. The vibes were young and clean and nice, and I'd definitely come again. read more

everything about this meal and bbq place was so good. we tried the brisket, marinated boneless short rib and bone-in short rib and they were all delicious. the short rib was served w a garlic butter sauce on the side that was so good. the banchan were all great too, all of the classics done so well and i love how it included raw garlic and the green onion salad. the meat order also came either tteok bokki and a steamed egg. the kimchi jjigae was a generous portion and delicious too. the servers were so attentive and nice, they cooked everything for us too. parking was also very convenient, $3 cash or $4 venmo/zelle valet. read more

One of the best k-BBQ places! They don't take reservations and it is a wait but worth it! They give you bonchon galore and of course it's unlimited - you just have to ask for more. Even the rice and perilla leaves are free! For those of you who like to cook it yourself, this is not the place for you but if you're willing to let someone else pamper you, you'll definitely want to try it! The bone in kalbi is a must! Melts in your mouth! Don't forget to gnaw on the bone and get your inner caveman on hehehe I only put one star less because there's a wait and you can't make reservations. read more

We come to K Team BBQ all the time, and our must-orders never change: the flash-frozen pork belly and the pork jowl (pre-grilled), plus the minari veggie platter. It's our go-to combo every time. They always start you off with steamed egg and tteokbokki, and honestly the tteokbokki is so good. I also love how they grill the green onion kimchi together with the meat--perfect pairing. And if you wrap the meat with minari, the aroma is amazing. At the end, they grill the potatoes from the veggie platter on the hot plate. Lots of black pepper, super flavorful--wanted to eat more but we were already too full. We still need to come back just to try the kimchi fried rice and noodles because we never have space left. Finished the meal with the Korean-style ice cream for dessert. Perfect ending. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This used to be one of my go-to spots, but tonight was unacceptable. I made a reservation and they gave our table away, then made us wait while open tables sat empty. Strike one. Ordering was confusing, and when I tried to clarify, the server insisted everything was fine and refused to adjust anything. Later, when I questioned the order, he raised his voice at me in front of my daughter and told me I was wrong. Completely unprofessional. Never in my life you have I have a server raise their voice at me publicly!!! To make it worse, when I asked for a manager, they refused to provide one or give any contact info. $150 bill for rude service, poor management, and a frustrating experience. I won't be coming back. read more

Came here based on a friend's suggestion. We went with their specialty, frozen pork and pork jowl. The banchan was plentiful and delicious. And we ordered the Kim chee fried rice as a finisher for dinner. A must get! The service was great! And we were able to walk right in to a table on a Friday night. We got lucky. We also got popsicles to end the meal. read more

This might be my new favorite Kbbq spot in Ktown. Arrived at a tiny parking lot (they do valet for $3) and a packed restaurant but luckily we made reservations (highly recommended). Ordered brisket, thick pork belly, rib eye, and Galbi and ohhhhh man they were all so good. The quality of the meats here is just different - everything was mouth watering and paired perfectly with the banchan. The servers cooked for us which was fire as they were very attentive. Also ordered a steam egg and kimchi fried rice which was overkill as we were stuffed. Overall pretty small place compared to other Kbbq spots, but better quality than most. Definitely coming back for more! read more

* valet parking $3 * amazing service * good quality meat * clean space * reservations We made reservations for a party of 8 and the tables were ready before we were ready. It's one of the few places that took reservations in Korea town for a party so big. We thoroughly enjoyed everything on the menu. We ordered - beef tongue - beef brisket - pork neck - pork belly - pork jowl - cold buckwheat noodles It was all so delicious. Our favorite two meat was the PORK NECK MEAT and PORK JOWL. They were greatly served with the spicy kimchi that was being grilled on the bottom with all the meat oil. One thing I didn't really like about their menu was that I don't think their menu was kid friendly at all. Most of the food were geared towards adults. For my child, he only ate the meat + rice + steamed egg. There wasn't anything else that he could eat since it was all spicy read more

K Team BBQ is one of my favorite KBBQ spots, hands down. If you go right when they open for dinner, the service is super attentive and everything moves smoothly. Once it gets busy, it slows down a bit--but honestly, their service is still better than most KBBQ places I've been to. Food-wise, everything hits. The frozen thin pork belly is a classic and always delivers. There's something about that small cast iron grill they use--it just makes everything taste better. Definitely recommend grilling up some extra kimchi and green onion kimchi too, it adds so much flavor. We usually go all in and get a mix of things--ribeye, brisket, thick and thin pork belly, kimchi jjigae--all solid. And don't skip the fried rice at the end. They mix in perilla leaves, which adds a nice herby finish. The steamed egg is also surprisingly good--really well-seasoned, soft, and comforting. It's a spot I keep coming back to. Great food, solid service (especially early on), and a cozy setup that makes everything taste even better. read more

New kbbq spot so we gave it a try. A very solid restaurant and I loved the interior. Talk about value..we got a combo I forget, but it came with all the vegetables and side items that you'd traditionally order separately! The meat was very good and my friend loved it as well. Solid choice! Service was good..but almost too attentive. I'd recommend go away for a bit so that the party can hold a conversation without the staff lingering over and flipping frequently. I love it! But please give some space, haha. All in all 5 star service. If you're thinking about this place give it a try! I recommend as I'd come back myself. read more

Extremely rude and non-professional waiter (probably missed his weight lifting gym time). We tried to order but the waiter didn't understand English. Being a regular customer, we had to keep on reminding the waiter that he missed putting kimchi on the hot plate, we had to put the meat away because they were overcooked already, and so forth. Our additional orders were extremely slow or never came. The waiter seemed extremely in a hurry! I was in shock when he grabbed the credit card machine off my friend's hand before my friend could even sign on the machine. What a terrible experience taking my friends to a place we had eaten many times. Our previous dining experience with a lady waitress was extremely nice. We were so dissapointed for not seating at her table and got to deal with this waiter. Will not be going for a while! read more

Wait Time: Visited on a Sunday night, and the wait was less than 5 minutes. We were seated very quickly, which was a great start. Parking: There's very limited parking space, so be prepared to park on the street. Food: We ordered beef brisket, thin-sliced pork belly, and the veggie combo. The food came out quickly, and the meat was fresh and flavorful. They also served steamed egg and rice cake soup, which were nice additions. Customer Service: The staff assisted with cooking, which made our dining experience much more enjoyable. K team BBQ is a clean restaurant with chic tile tabletop. Overall, I had a great experience and enjoyed the food and service at K-team BBQ. read more

Thinly sliced pork belly -- every single time. There's just something unbeatable about wrapping up a long day with some sizzling samgyeopsal and a cold shot of soju. For Koreans, it's more than a meal -- it's a daily ritual. We grew up watching our parents do the same. Back in the day, coal miners would come home after a long shift and wash down the dust and fatigue with fatty pork and soju. That tradition stuck with us. Anytime we've put in hard work, our minds go straight to samgyeopsal and soju. That's why K Team is such a gem in Koreatown. Opened by seasoned pros who really know the ins and outs of the K-town dining scene, this spot just gets it. The retro vibes, nostalgic music, attentive service, and consistently fresh meat and banchan (side dishes) -- everything is on point. And let's talk about their thinly sliced pork belly -- it's their signature dish for a reason. It's always fresh, perfectly cooked, and insanely satisfying. Because of how well they run things, the turnover here is super fast -- meaning shorter wait times than most other Korean BBQ spots in the area. If you're craving quality Korean BBQ with no fuss and all the flavor -- this is the place. Highly recommend. Gunbae! read more

Parks, but Pork Centric. In a see of the new pork centric kbbq spots popping up around ktown Kteam from Parks stands out. Not only are you going to get the signature banchan you might know or love from Parks themselves you're getting some solid pork on top of that. Came in and grabbed one of the combos midweek and man this place is still poppin. The place was full around 8pm and we got a seat after a short 15 minute wait. The thin pork belly here was really nice, and as always the servers know what theyre doing when they cook for you. When you pair up the pork with the banchan and wrap them up in that ssam every bite is really enjoyable! We got the bokkeumbap at the end which was a little addition but honestly its worth it for sure. High quality meat, even better banchan, and servers that know how to grill up the meat just right, and we have a welcome addition to the neighborhood. If you've been thinking about checking this spot out definitely do! read more

This is a solid casual Korean BBQ spot. We came for a weekend lunch, and it wasn't too busy--only about three other tables, which made for a relaxed experience. We ordered the brisket and boneless short rib, both of which were better than average in quality--fresh, flavorful, and cooked beautifully. However, my boyfriend was disappointed by the lack of banchan. At most Korean restaurants, complimentary side dishes are part of the experience, but here, everything was a la carte, which took away from the usual KBBQ vibe. That said, the ambience feels new and clean, and it's still a great spot for a casual, no-fuss KBBQ meal. Worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

When I heard a new Korean BBQ restaurant had opened, I was so excited to try it. I heard that it was opened by the same owner at Park's BBQ, just a couple blocks away, so my expectations were high. I could be wrong though.   However, I was let down. The service was mediocre, and the food was very disappointing. For the price I paid, it really wasn't worth it at all. The whole concept of frozen pork belly in Korea is supposed to be relatively cheap, but it is more expensive than just regular thick pork belly. Some of the veggies that complement pork belly, like Minari, were all extra cost, like every single thing.   Fried rice at the end wasn't impressive either. I just did not enjoy the food here at all. It was a one-time thing for me, surely. I have my go-to for pork belly, and it is not frozen pork belly where it is thinly sliced and cooked on aluminum foil, but I would rather have real thick pork belly if I am going to be overcharged for such a small portion for the price. It is quite funny because we were going to order more in the beginning, and the server assured us that it was too much food, so we listened and ordered less than we intended to. We should not have listened, because it was not enough, even for just one person. Trust me, I have a small appetite too. read more

Best KBBQ IN LA! This place has the best service and menu and is my go to spot in La. I can't recommend it enough.

Visiting LA on weekends are so hard... I have to pick and choose 2-3 restaurants to go to ... I wish I had unlimited funds and unlimited stomach space to visit at least 10 HAHAHA One of places on my "must try" was KTEAM BBQ; after hearing this establishment was created by the founders of Parks BBQ, I was borderline obsessed over it and kept checking their social media pages to look at photos HAHAHA The casual and retro vibes inside draw you in instantly as you walk in. Some Korean-born or raised individuals might understand the retro vibes of this place... it weirdly reminds you of Korea, like you've been here when you were a kid. Some of you may know, because I repeatedly have announced it, I am not a fan of pork... but I had to try Kteam...so here is my opinion about it! Their most popular menu is the thinly frozen pork belly, I never thought I'd voluntarily order pork ever in my life but I did it and it wasn't bad. Because it was thinly sliced and there were many condiments, I didn't taste any "porkiness" and it was delicious actually! I thought I was brave but when the pork jowl came out... I had to take two steps back... it just looked so intimidating! My ... chicken ass couldn't do it... and let the others in my party enjoy it without me. I ordered the brisket for myself HAHAHA and of course it was excellent. I highly recommend you order the sides; pollack roe, water parsley and veggies. These seemingly "nothing-really-special" sides amplified the experience! The pollack roe was a gem with the fried rice we ordered at the end of the meal! Okay, this probably push my stomach's limits but their tteokbokki is FREAKISHLY delicious too-- yeah why order tteokbokki at a kbbq place? I don't know I just had to and I don't regret it one bit! I am very happy that I got to try Kteam while I was on a short trip to LA and I absolutely plan on being back. read more

Taking a friend out for duck but they sold out so we ended up here. I saw the prices but my brain... failed me lol. I'm used to ayce k bbq and I'm sorry it's just not worth it for this price. I can appreciate that it's a cultural experience and what goes along with that, it's not bad by any means, just a better value at ayce. I like the way they have the seats so you can store your things, since seating is tight. It was raining the day we went. I had my coat on the back of the chair but it was basically on the floor lol. We did brisket and thick pork belly. I guess the quality was supposed to be better? No way it was $80 worth of food tho. They kinda cook it for you. Nice platter it comes with. I was putting I believe it was sesame leaves with my rice wrap roll ups, I wanted to order more, $4! It's just principle at this point. W tip I spent $100 for two meats. I don't feel it was worth it when I could've gotten ayce for two for less. Again I take responsibility bc I looked at the menu before going. I read a write up in the Times. The place itself is cute. We ended up in a corner, but I appreciated that, no one was next to us. The seats are very cute, just low. I put my coat on the "back" of mine and it was basically on the floor lol. But the innovation behind the design was undeniably cool. Service was good, they overcharged my sparkling water but quickly fixed it. The food was good but no different from a less spendy ayce. If it's cultural and nostalgic I understand, otherwise I'd try something different, especially if it's your first k bbq experience. read more

K Team BBQ is truly the BEST in authentic Korean fine dining. The service and the ambiance are top-notch! My colleagues and I (girls night out) went there after work, and there was no wait time; we were immediately served, and we stuffed ourselves like crazy! Not a single bad dish was brought to the table. We just couldn't seem to get enough. A beautiful experience to have with fellow foodies, friends, and family. They'll see us again soon! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! I loved the thin pork belly and the marinated premium bone-in short rib; it was flavorful, thick, and juicy. All of the sides were unbelievably delicious! read more

What we ordered: beef brisket, thinly sliced pork belly, pork jowl, spicy rice cakes, bean paste stew, kimchi fried rice, steamed egg, the minari/potato/mushroom side, the pollack roe ssamjang, the spicy acorn noodles. Didn't expect anything less given its Parks BBQs sister store across the street. Everything was amazing. People may think it's pricey but I think the quality of the food and the taste is not comparable to AYCE. The side menu is so delicious on its own and it complements the bbq sooo well. If you don't get all the extras, thats fine. Servers help cook the kimchi, bean sprouts, and green onion salad on the side. They give you a whole bowl full of garlic and jalapeño for that extra kick. And of course they have lettuce wraps, perilla leaves, and rice paper for that perfect bite. Servers help cook all the meats so everyone in your party can just focus on eating good food! Interior is more of a chill casual vibe, great lighting to take insta pics, and seats have storage for your stuff. Parking is $3 valet. read more

I've been waiting to write a review and been here a few times now. Open almost 2 months now, The secret is out - Park's has opened a new, more pork centric restaurant - Kteam! Service is excellent and so attentive here. Really great staff throughout the entire meal every time I've gone. Plus, they play a mix of music. An easy way to my heart is by playing old kpop and they played one of my fav songs of all time by G.O.D. ~ 거짓말 ~ forcing me to nohraebang it up at my table. iykyk. And I think they have a soundtrack on repeat because the song has played every time I've been there, lol. Alright now, the eats! So pork is what you should be getting here and Naeng Sam is their specialty - a thin frozen pork belly. You must get this cut. It's delicious, so darn good, makes my mouth water thinking about it. $30 and beyond worth it. I've also had the pork jowl ($35), thick pork belly ($37), pork collar steak ($35), beef briskey $36), thin rib eye ($42) - so as you can see, most of the menu. It's all very solid but that Naeng Sam wins the world. They have the softest steamed egg ($5) with fish roe on top! Fun touch for a burst of saltiness. The spicy rice cake ($5) had the softest dduk the first time we went. Oh my goodness, perfection. If you like beer, try the special Parks BBQ lager! So cool they have their own beer. Unlike Park's no reservations can be made here and it's popular. So prepare to wait. Valet parking in the lot is a few dollars. They're only open for dinner right now, but who knows how that will change in the future! read more
