Teriyaki chicken and beef bulgogi
Javier S.

This is good Korean BBQ, could be better. We ordered the All-You-Can Eat Korean BBQ for lunch. The teriyaki chicken was good, nice teriyaki marande. The beef bulgogi was tasty. With there was more sides available. The service was ok. The ambiance was traditional Korean BBQ style layout, tables with grills and well ventilated. For the price, I expected more, but it was in Los Angeles county.

There's nothing like Korean BBQ. I haven't encountered any bad choices and PZK is no exception. From the bulgogi to the short ribs, brisket and pork belly. It was delicious, affordable and a staple memory in our latest LA visit for sure! Stop by when you get some time. The place is fairly spacious, typical comfortable level of restaurant seating. The hosts were generous, accommodating and helpful making sure our drinks were refilled and that the service met standards. Would definitely visit again!

Pork belly
constance k.

We returned for a second time, like the first the service was great. We ordered option A this time of which we had the boneless short rib, both spicy and plain brisket, smoked and plain pork belly, spicy rice cake and vegetable gyoza. This time we got a little spice in the brisket and a little in the rice cake which was nice, it may not be the level of spice we are accustomed to but it was good. Our favorites this evening were definitely the pork belly, which we enjoyed with a requested side of sesame oil and the salt. We also enjoyed the marinated boneless short rib. I feel like we narrowed down the things we enjoy here and am happy we gave it another try. We will be back.

This kbbq was walking distance from our apartment (which is a huge plus) AND all you can eat!! It was $33.99 per person for option A which was such a good deal. We had sooo much meat. My fav was ofc the bulgogi but we also got short rib and brisket which I loved. The kimchi fried rice was yum too. My friend and I shared the soy bean paste soup which was one of my fav things. We also got pork belly and teriyaki chicken. I've never had teriyaki chicken at a kbbq place but it was actually really good. Loved all the banchan too and the service was great! They were always happy to bring us whatever we needed which I appreciated. It was a casual restaurant which was nice and fun with a big group (there were 6 of us). I definitely would come back!! Terra beer + sake also great combo

Although it states that single diners may eat here, it is not true. I was denied service when I walked in and they stated that they do not allow for single diners.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Previous reviews I read before coming in seemed a bit mixed, but I had an overall great experience. My friends and I showed up on a Friday night and it was actually pretty empty. The wait staff were all really nice and attentive, and also switched out our grill pretty frequently. The food was a steal. We went with option B so we could get filet mignon and short rib, and man were both of these so good. Their kimchi was also really tasty. Overall good vibes and good food, I would definitely come back if I lived in the area!

Food and service here are both amazing! Would highly recommend. Easy walk-in with no reservation. Great meat quality. Super happy with our experience :)

This is by far my favorite Korean BBQ in LA. It's rare to find a place this affordable to indulge in whatever you want! They have amazing steak (I recommend the prime steak and beef bulgogi), amazing chicken, amazing pork, and great sides! They are very generous with their sides, and the portions of the food are perfect. I am usually skeptical of the ramen served at places like these but I LOVE ordering their spicy Korean ramen on one of the rounds. If you're with like 2-3 people, expect to go to max 3 rounds if you're ordering 3-4 meats each round. It's the perfect time frame, perfect portions, perfect pricing, and perfect environment to get your moneys worth (and a full belly)! This is the only place I'll go to. I highly recommend. The staff is beyond kind as well and very attentive to your needs and changing out your hot plates every round. Also a great place to go to spontaneously, they always have a table open! Never too crowded.

Beef tongue

Great service! Best beer tounge cut in the area.Owner is nice and listens to feedback.

Decent spot for AYCE KBBQ outside of Ktown. We opted for the slightly pricier Option B, which is worth it for the inclusion of the galbi. The selection of banchan was okay - don't forget to ask for kimchi, which they do not serve automatically. The space is on the smaller side, and the smoke from the grill is not well-cleared from the table so sometimes the smoke blows into your face. Service was fine, they were quick to change our grill as needed.

spicy korean ramen
Diana M.

The food here was decent, but the service was honestly terrible and ruined the experience. We came in when the place wasn't even packed, but the servers were rude and clearly didn't care. They kept forgetting to bring out items we ordered and when we asked for more sides, they literally refused and said, "When you finish, you get more." Not exactly the all-you-can-eat vibe. To top it off, the young waiter man had the nerve to confront me about my tip at the end. I left $5 on a $116 bill (around $130 with tax) because the service was so mediocre and slow. He got mad and told me that's less than 10% and only for takeout orders, not dine-in. I told him he's lucky I even tipped at all given how bad the service was, and he still had an attitude like I owed him for forgetting half our stuff. Food was good but definitely not worth putting up with rude, entitled staff and sloppy service. There are plenty of better KBBQ spots in LA - I won't be back.

Amazing attentive service, convenient location for those farther away from K-town, especially for UCLA students. Even with the A-menu at the lowest price point, there are so many meat and side dish options! Love PZK and have for 3 years!!

Marinated boneless short rib... THE BEST

Back after 8 years with an extra star this time!…read more We stopped by Sunday at 11am and were seated immediately. I would recommend coming early because the line grew exponentially after that! The table shared a M bossam and two soups and it was plenty of food! I loved the clam kalguksu - the broth was lighter with a pepper-y kick and a generous portion of clams. The chicken kalguksu was more viscous and the soup was on the saltier side. Obviously the bossam was a table fav and we especially enjoyed the white kimchi! Overall, good food though service was a hit or miss. Definitely interested in trying the large $80 serving size for the noodle dishes lol! Street parking or valet

The lot is a little emptier now that Sun Nong Dan moved out, but I HATE that they've also started running effectively a parking valet scam as well (aka bring cash in your car and you must hand the keys over). Food is still banging though. Bossam was a little blander than I remember, but it's still perfectly tender, sliced uber thin, and great balance between lean and fatty cuts. Naengmyeon broth is peak with the depth from the beef bones and sweetness as well. Perfectly chewy noodles and the serving size is huge!

If you love classic, traditional Korean food, it's easy to be skeptical of fusion spots but wow,…read moreDanbi completely blows me away every time! They've mastered the art of keeping Korean flavors while dropping in modern twists that totally elevate every dish. The braised galbi served on a spread of mashed potatoes with various mushrooms is a total masterpiece. The zabuton is also one of my favorites if you like an asado and plenty of garlic. The golden chicken nuggets with seaweed powder on top are so perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. I have to admit the corn cheese egg rolls are probably my favorite thing on the menu, something as simple like a mozzarella stick type of appetizer just really hits it for me. And one of my favorite cocktails of all time. The staff is always so nice every time. They're attentive and honest with us if we are over-ordering. The ambiance is elite, even after renovation. Danbi is an absolute gem in Ktown. It's the perfect spot show off the city to out-of-town guests or for an incredible night out. 10/10 recommend!

tl;dr the delectable pork ribs overshadow the otherwise authentic but standard lineup at this…read morenow-shuttered Korean stalwart Los Angeles Koreatown is home to restaurants that specialize in every facet of Korean cuisine. If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.
