I did a bit of research to find a place that had all of the elements I was looking for in a KBBQ and decided on Maru. So very glad I did because everything was better than I expected. They have the call buttons to have a server come over which is awesome and they have a really great selection of banchan. Their meat quality is excellent as well (we had kkotsal, galbi, chadol & deungshim) all were great. They actually take care of the grilling for you which is nice because you get the experience of the grill at your table without the stress and smoking your hands. I can't wait to come back to try some of the other traditional dishes, especially the eindaegu jorim!!

Lots of fresh sides

Korean here! I came here to celebrate my birthday with family and came here on a whim. It just opened 5 months ago, and I felt like I needed to get the word out. FYI, they don't have good kbbq in Torrance. The meat is extremely high quality, even the marinated short ribs, and that's saying a lot. The meat was tender, juicy and super-fresh. The side dishes were fresh and tasty as well. The owner was warm, and the staff was welcoming. You must try this place. Excellent meal.

naengmyeon

This place is similar to what it replaced in this location. Definitely not on the cheaper side, but it's high quality. We gave this place a try because we were really close by. It was mid-afternoon, so there were almost no other customers. Wife got the galbi/naengmyeon lunch. For some reason they wouldn't let me order the bento lunch I wanted (I don't speak Korean and didn't feel like fumbling through trying to get an explanation), so I just got the LA galbi. The banchan and entrees all tasted very good. My wife thought the naengmyeon was much better than at other Korean restaurants nearby. Very clean spot; plenty of parking.

Bbq and banchan

Was hesitant to come in because there were hardly. But so glad that didn't deter. The food and service was very good. The quality is authentic.

Come for lunch specials or their super fresh kbbq. They have the best banchan and incredible price to fresh meats ratio. A classic for sure and hopefully not a hole in the wall for long. The owner is super sweet; Susie will greet you and treat you like family! Please say hi and ask for extra of their tomato cilantro kimchi, my fave! Will be coming back weekly! Look out for their future upcoming specials and late night pocha/izakaya late night availabilities! Only a month and half from opening and already a local fave.

Is it all you can it bbq?

It is not 'AYCE', but the portions are generous enough that it might as well be.

We love this place because the service is always fast and efficient, and the food is consistently good. You can have a drink or two if you'd like, but since we were driving, we decided to skip the drinks this time. After they sat us, we ordered our food immediately on the kiosk that was on the table. It really made it super easy. We ordered the steak, which is always super tender and flavorful. The beef tofu soup and of course my Coke! One order is honestly more than enough for the two of us, especially because we definitely eat differently now than we did when we were younger. Lol We shared our meal, and it was the perfect amount for both of us. Sometimes you just want a place that's easy, delicious, and gets the job done without any fuss and this place definitely does that for us! We love dinning here especially during the summer as the ac is always on blast! We'll definitely be back soon!

I have been wanting to try this place but I was really disappointed with the quality and flavor…read more The flavor was definitely lacking. I did, however, enjoy the complimentary side dishes - in particular the fish cake. That was yummy! Tell me why I wanted/ ordered soup when it was literally nearly triple digits. We also got an order of the Galbi, which also lacked flavor. Service was fine. They close from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m., which we did not know but that was our fault. We went back at 4, and it wasn't busy. Nice size parking lot but it is on a busy street. Finding parking is not difficult though.

Hansol is located inside the Torrance H Mart, and I think it's a great place to grab a meal after…read moredoing some grocery shopping. Grocery shopping always seems to make me hungry anyway, so it's nice having a food option right there. One tip: I'd grab a drink from inside H Mart before ordering at Hansol, since there a lot of cool and different drink options in the grocery section. I usually get the pork cutlet, which comes with two pork cutlets, rice, several sides, a small broth, and a salad. It's a really good-sized meal and something I always enjoy getting. The pork katsu is crunchy on the outside while still being juicy inside, and the sauce has a refreshing flavor that pairs really well with it. The sides complement the meal nicely, and they also give you some fruit. I like saving that for the end since it's a refreshing way to end the meal. Ordering is pretty straightforward: just go up to the cashier and give them the letter and number for the item you want. I also like that there's a picture for each menu item, so you can easily see what you're ordering. The seating area is basically a food court, so the ambiance isn't anything special, but there are plenty of seats, which is nice. I always look forward to coming to this H Mart knowing I can also get a great meal if I'm hungry after shopping. It's definitely one of those convenient spots that makes the grocery trip even better.

Really enjoyed our meal at Hansol inside H Mart in Torrance! We had the squid with bean sprouts and…read moreudon noodle soul. Both were really good, flavorful, and satisfying. The typical Korean banchan (side dishes) that came with the meal made everything even better. It's located inside the supermarket, so the dining area can get very crowded and busy, but the food came out fairly quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. You order your food, find yourself a table, and they call your number when your order is ready. Nothing fancy in terms of atmosphere but a busy H Mart food-court setting for that is tasty, comforting, and worth the wait. I'd definitely come back, especially when I'm craving a hot bowl of Korean soup!

Wow, back again, and once again, a great experience!…read more We had a party of nine and were seated at a great table along the back wall on the left side when you walk in. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the meal. The service was excellent all night. Russell was outstanding and truly an asset to this establishment. He was quick, friendly, attentive, and always on top of things, making sure his table (my table!) was happy and well taken care of throughout the evening. No issues whatsoever. The food kept coming, and the buffet bar offers a great variety of extras and side dishes that you don't have to cook yourself. Everything was well-stocked and fresh. Since I was paying the bill and taking the time to write this review, I wanted to make sure a well-deserved update was shared. No complaints, great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Stop in, give them a try, and enjoy a great meal with friends, family, and loved ones! Highly recommended!

We chose 92kbbq for a celebratory work lunch- "all you can eat" korean bbq? count me in!…read more The restaurant was modern, comfortable and our table had 2 grills for 8 people which you won't get everywhere and really helps keep the food flowing. The "salad bar" of special/side items was a neat touch and from what I sampled there everything was good (potato salad, kimchi fried rice, glass noodles and some wonton type thing, sorry I'm not great at remembering the Korean names) For meats we mostly stuck to basics like brisket, which came out fresh every time. We also ventured out with some octopus, squid and shrimp- no complaints from those who tried. Pork belly wasn't my favorite although the pork jowls (which I'd never had before) were actually delicious. Everyone was a big fan of the noodle bowls- I'm not a big noodle guy so I stuck to meats. Service was attentive, friendly and quick to bring out your food. The robot cat servers are a fun and neat addition, just make sure you grab the food labeled for your table. I knock one star for 2 minor reasons- 1) I think some instruction on the robot server should happen, one table accidentally grabbed our food unknowingly. 2) the stainless steel water cups they brought us gave off a filmy or oily layer when filled with water- not sure what that was, maybe some leftover detergent. All in all, I'd consider coming back, the food was great and I really don't mind a soft drink.
