Had a great experience at Kingchang LA today! We ordered the Small Pork Combo and added a half order of pork skin. Everything was delicious, and all the side dishes were really good too. The service was excellent. The staff was very attentive and grilled the meat for us, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, great food and great service. I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely be coming back. I think this might become one of my regular spots!

Small beef combo
Angelie P.

I'm so glad we decided to try King Chang in LA's Koreatown! It's not AYCE, but honestly, the portions were just right for the three of us. We ordered the Small Beef Combo, which comes with prime thinly sliced brisket, prime boneless short ribs, and a choice of a third meat, we chose the bulgogi. The combo also comes with a choice of spicy paste stew, soybean paste stew, or ramen, and we chose the ramen and loved it! We also ordered the large beef intestines, and they were SO good! Definitely one of our favorites. I also love that they cook the meat for you, so you can just sit back, eat, talk, and enjoy. Our server Alvin was amazing, so kind, friendly, and attentive. The other staff were just as welcoming. I was with my dog, Jimin (Toby), and they all instantly loved him, which made our experience even better. The restaurant is definitely loud and lively, but I didn't mind at all. Everyone was eating, talking, laughing, and just having a good time. It gave the place such a fun and energetic KBBQ atmosphere. Great food, great portions, amazing service, and a really fun experience. We'll definitely be back!

Came for an early dinner with the family and it was a great choice! We were able to join the waitlist and be seated right away. Our server Jay is awesome! He's very attentive and gave us an idea of what would be best for our table. We got the beef combos for our table and the seafood pancakes. Really loved that they helped cook the meat! The sides were also very good! Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a kbbq spot.

The BBQ was so delicious! The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I really enjoyed it and would definitely come back!

Loved our dinner at King Chang-La! Authentic Korean BBQ. The gut combo was incredible. Staff was nice, food came out quickly. Highly recommend for Ktown food lovers.

This place was open late and we ended up here after a concert. They were not busy and our server was really funny. They cook here for you so that was a plus for us ladies.

Food is good ,Service is good,we came here many times,we love this place,we will come again

Banchan
Ann T.

It's located in the same "alleyway" business spot as Ahgassi Gopchang, both can be prone to be super busy, so keep that in mind. There is a seating/waiting area outside which is nice. We came here on the last day of Anime Expo and we were seated immediately. There's a good amount of tables and seating inside. Perfect. Apparently my boyfriend went here before and ran into Tablo from Epik High. Neat! Service was efficient and they get the food out to you ASAP. Even though there's a place that specializes in intestines next door, my boyfriend can't help but to order it here too, but who can blame him since it's a deliciously crispy and yummy meat and not THAT common, I suppose. We got the medium spicy intestine combo and when we asked how spicy it was, we confirmed that it was around as spicy as Buldak. I've been eating other Buldak variants lately and not the original, so this kind of hit me on the back of the head like a baseball bat. Definitely is an additive spiciness that builds throughout the meal. Somewhat destroyed our less spice tolerant Cantonese friend and we had a lot of food left over. Each combo comes with a stew (we bot the soybean paste one) a steamed egg, aged kimchi, cheese fondue (it's a small tinfoil bowl of cheese you cook on the grill), jalapenos and onions, as well as all of the banchan. There's also the option to choose 3 items and you can duplicate up to 2 items, but I think we just got one of each (small/large intestine and the abomasum). Due to underestimating the spice and being dehydrated after technically 5 days of AX, we were not able to finish all of our food and had to take it to go. This is definitely something you need a drink to cool down with or rice to mitigate the spice. But overall, not bad!

Galbi Jjim Cheese Spicy Beef Back Ribs
Alex B.

This place is all about the the Korean beef back rib. I was hunting for a Galbi Jjim beef rib one night and this place popped up on my Yelp. They are open late. Most nights they are open to Midnight and on weekends they are open even later. They have really good cold noodle soup and this incredibly tasty potato hash brown and cheese thing. I'll post a picture of it. The beef back ribs are giant and served on the bone. They come out in a big steaming hot stone cauldron and the waiter will cut them off the bone for you and he mixes them into this delicious brown sauce, onion, and potato bowl. The small Korean sides of Kimchi and radish are incredibly refreshing. The Korean cold noodle soup here is very good. They have both kinds - the one in the red sauce and the one in the clear vinegar based broth. Both have good chewy noodles. This place is absolutely awesome. My favorite new Korean restaurants, if not my absolute favorite overall Korean restaurant. It's tucked away in a pretty well known Korean food plaza in the back corner. The inside is lively Korean vibes. The ambience is fun and feels like a transport into some type of cool drinking Korean food spot (as it should) It's not KBBQ style where you need to cook it yourself, and I love this. The older I get, the more I don't want to have to cook my food at a restaurant. I like showing up, sitting down, and delicious prepared food is brought to me! Just thinking about that beef rib has me hungry! These photos are from two different visits a few months apart!!

LOVEEEEEEE And they're open late! Ordered good food and ate good food, enjoyed the evening

One of the best liquor shops in LA because they have so many top shelf items, large selection, &…read moreit's reasonably priced. I'm glad this is so local to me, even if it wasn't I would come back here because THEY HAVE EVERYTHING... from wine to beers. To all sorts of specialty liquor as well(: Pro Tip: Browse the Harry Potter wall of liquor and KNOW what you want BEFORE you get in line!(: Guys are pretty friendly and prompt with service here I'm not sure why some people had issues? I usually do browse what I want BEFORE getting in line to not hold anyone up as the lines can get REALLY LONG during the end of the week at night. So maybe that's why some people had issues? Love the Harry Potter bookshelf wall with service Rollie ladder of top shelf liquor it's a whole mood. Modern and clean vibes here and the exterior is cool too as it's huge pieces of glass. It looks cool and nice at night especially! Place is packed to the brim on Fridays, Saturdays, and holidays.

UPDATE: I am updating my rating to 3 stars purely based on how management handled my situation…read more Shortly after my initial negative experience, Amar reached out to me directly. He was highly professional, apologized for the unacceptable service, assured me he had spoken to the staff so it wouldn't happen again, and went out of his way to completely cover the cost of my order. It takes a lot for a business to own their mistakes and make it right, and I really appreciate that ownership actually cares about their customers. ORIGINAL EXPERIENCE: Do not order delivery directly from their website. I originally placed an order online for a couple beers and two bottles of liquor, and despite living only 2.8 miles away, I was called by an employee named Angelo who told me it would take 4 hours to deliver. When I expressed frustration, he offered zero compensation or alternative solutions. He claimed there was "no manager" to speak to, and told me to just go use DoorDash or Grubhub instead because nobody wanted to drive a moped less than 3 miles. It is incredibly frustrating when a business takes your money for an advertised service, refuses to fulfill it, and then tells you to go pay extra fees on a third-party app. Overall, I'm giving 3 stars because Amar's excellent response and accountability balanced out Angelo's initial terrible service.

Naturally, we followed the music... and wow, what a vibe! This place is such a vibe-y outdoor hangout spot. Super cute, super chill. The first thing you see? A full bar built into a refurbished 1954 Spartan Trailercoach and yes, it's as cool as it sounds, serving beer and craft cocktails. The music was bumpin', the energy was up, but it still had this cozy, intimate feel. Perfect combo. My boyfriend and I both got the Paloma and we snagged a spot in the back to catch the DJ doing his thing. Our table was a little wobbly and my cocktail tipped! Such a bummer but the bartender didn't miss a beat. She sent someone to clean it up immediately and replaced my drink with a fresh one. Didn't catch her name but shoutout to her for the amazing service! There was a big group nearby just vibing, laughing, and living their best life. The whole place felt like a spontaneous backyard party you never want to leave. So glad we wandered in this is definitely a new fave.

They also had a good option this year! Yummy tacos, quesadillas and nachos were available for purchase. The staff was really on it, always making rounds to clear empty glasses outside. Fun 90's and 2000's music going all night. There were plenty of tables outside and quite a few heaters to keep you warm! This is a fun place to go in general but also definitely a fun and chill vibe for new years eve!

I come there to work from my iPad frequently and one day, I needed to take a ZOOM call. The ONE umbrella was taken so I pulled a chair over into a shaded area. The security guard came over to tell me that I was not allowed to pull a chair into the area and that I had to put it back. He did this as my ZOOM call was starting so I hurriedly got up to move and my iPad fell and cracked. I stopped coming as much for awhile because I have seen other people move their chairs to find more shade in the past. Well PLEASE explain why I am here right now and this Asian man is not only allowed to move one chair into that same area but they HELPED him move several chairs and a TABLE to sit in the area that I was asked to move from. I have seen him here on several occasions and maybe he has closer ties? Who knows? What I do know is that what is good for the goose should be good enough for the gander. So if this area is prohibited to sit in, that should be applied to EVERYONE. And then when I tried to address with the woman who works in the office, she snapped at me after I asked if I could ask her a question. Her exact words: "About WHAT??" Once she led with that energy, I asked was she an employee (I have already been told in the past that she is) and she replied, "No, I don't work here." SO i left her alone even after she tried to clean it up by asking if I wanted to speak with the other security guards. I walked away and sat down to write this. But I also asked the security guard (DAVID) who originally told me that I could not pull a chair into the area why it was okay for the person that is sitting there now and he told me that it is because they are employees. He told ME that that are could not be blocked by the ONE chair that I pulled over into a CORNER but they have a whole table and several chairs set up as I type this. The woman who swears she is not an employee (SHE IS) came over to me trying to ask what I needed and I told her I was good and that I was leaving. She said, "Well you're complaining so..." and I cut her right TF off and told her that I was not COMPLAINING; I was asking a VALID question. She then starts talking sh*t telling me that I come there all the time to sit in the courtyard while purchasing nothing. MIND YOU, the local businesses at this location know me by name and/or face (Escala, Silverlake Ramen, Cap't Loui, Starbucks, etc...). This is also a place where transient/unhoused individuals come all the time to sit and rest so imagine saying something so insensitive not knowing what the situation may be. It is a public area and nobody is OBLIGATED to purchase anything. But I DO on a WEEKLY basis so perhaps Miss Girl can get her facts straight. But it's okay. I will be contacting management asap.
