According to yelp check in, I am a regular at this place I do agree with some of the reviews that the customer service could be better. I had some visits where the server and host came across as rude, and other times service was average (not exceptional by any means). My usual when I come with my family: - marinated short rib - rib eye - beef brisket - pork belly - shrimp - scallops I don't come to LA enough to try other Korean bbq places so this has been my go-to spot. It's a safe choice and I already know I like the food.

Great Korean BBQ spot. I've been wanting to try Quarters for a while now so booked a table for my sister's birthday. Came at opening on a weekday afternoon to avoid the crowd and lack of parking. There were 5 of us so we got the jumbo combo along with a couple orders of the kimchi fried rice. Everything tasted great - meat was good quality and I always love when you get staff to cook the meat for you. I'm always the designated griller at KBBQ so it's nice to sit back and let somebody else handle it once in a while. The beef belly and short ribs were my favorite. I also love that they give you a giant cheese fondue that lasts through all the meat. Kimchi fried rice was also killer (which is why we got a second order). The service was alright. Although everything came out quickly and we had people grilling for us, it seemed like it was all done begrudgingly. It was fine though. We had a good time and the food was equally good.

The food and drinks at Quarters KBBQ are still 10/10, but the service has been lacking for months. The restrooms keep getting closed when it's busy, which is frustrating and takes away from the experience. My ratings: Food: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10 Seating: 8/10 Service: 4/10 Atmosphere: 4/10 Overall: 7.2/10 The food keeps me coming back, but the service and restroom access need improvement.

Ooookay Quarters I see you! It's been a hot spot at Chapman Plaza for ages and when I say hot spot, I mean expect it to be packed, rowdy and loud at this KBBQ. There's a lot of good at Quarters, they have a full bar people can go up to while waiting for their table which is nice for people. They have TVs all over so if you want to see the World Cup or Dodgers game, they'll surely be playing it here. A great thing is they DO take reservations, a rarity in KBBQs in the city. Keep in mind that doesn't mean immediate seating, tables still need to turn so if you have kids, you could be waiting 20 minutes post ressie time like my group did last week. Now the food was great! I would put their eats squarely in the middle of the mid-price-range Korean BBQs in the city. A surprising highlight was their corn cheese which felt a bit more creamy than other spots! I enjoyed their marinades and meats for this price point and they cooked all our meat for us. Our server did get scolded at one point for letting our meat burn a bit, but it wasn't too bad and didn't effect things much. I was also surprised how much I loved their banchans! That broccoli and potato salad and I also love when a place has rice paper! My favvvvvvvv~! I was kind of surprised they didn't replace any of our banchans when we ran out, however when we asked they did give us more without issue. I think we might have had a new server helping us, so all good. Overall, enjoyed all the food and especially their banchans! If the loud and fun atmosphere is your style, you'll love Quarters! I'm sure I'll be back to this LA classic spot again soon!

Went to celebrate my birthday, and while it was fun having someone grill for us, the overall experience wasn't anything crazy. Given all the hype, I expected something mind-blowing. There's definitely a lot of clout around this place and it makes for a good "have you been to Quarters?" conversation starter. Beyond that, there's not much reason to visit as you can get an unlimited meat selection with comparable quality across the street. I live just around the corner and had been meaning to try it for a while. Glad I can finally cross it off the list, on to the next spot.

Been to Quarters a couple of times and it's a good change up from AYCE. There's free parking on the street if you can find a spot or else they have a paid parking in their lot. I feel like Quarters has been slowly dying in popularity as the last few times I've been there there hasn't been a wait. Although this may be due to a tough economy right now and this place isn't cheap. If there is a wait, there is a bar area you can order drinks from while you wait with a nice outdoor patio space. The banchan they have is all relatively good with a sweet mashed potato, green onion salad, kimchi (too sour for my liking), tofu with a spicy sauce, and broccoli with walnuts in a light dressing. The sauces they give you is a brisket sauce, chili sauce, pesto sauce, a sweeter brisket sauce, and salt. You need to order 3 meats minimum as their rule. The meal comes with raw vegetables that they grill and a side of melted cheese. Last time I went, I ordered the 1/4th lb of brisket, beef short rib, beef tongue, and pork jowl. My favorites were definitely the beef tongue which were thicker cuts than typical but tender. The pork jowl had a great texture that was slightly bouncy and great flavor. Wasn't a big fan of the short rib as I thought it lacked flavor but its marbling was nice. Overall, this isn't a place I will go to too frequently due to how expensive it is for what you get. I do recommend it for special occasions as the meat quality is a bit higher and they cook for you.

I've been coming to this Korean bbq spot for years now! Service is fast & I never really have to wait super long but I have waited an hour before because it's just that much worth it! Usually for 2 ppl and drinks we spend about $200 with tip and I never complain, it's definitely a treat. It's always super clean I can't just not recommend this place. Servers in the photo chefs kiss, cooked my food to my liking and cut fat just like I asked

We came here on a Saturday night after a baseball game. Parked in a pay lot and walked up around 10PM. The wait for 4 was 10-15 minutes. The service and staff was friendly. We had the short rib, bulgogi, shrimp, and pork belly. Everything was delicious- the best part was the short rib. The staff cooks everything for you, so that was nice. The prices were moderate. The side dishes were good. This place could be great if they had more side dish options (was missing the cucumber kimchi and fishcake) and if they had rice paper or radish to wrap the meet in. The meal needed a starch of some kind. A cool part was they had a wall with celebrity signatures by the bathrooms. Really cool to see the different celebs that have visited.

Really solid Korean bbq place. We came around 2:30 pm and the place was packed with people. You can make reservations on resy beforehand which is convenient. We did combo 2 which came with pork jowl, bulgogi, short rib, and beef belly. They threw in a bunch of complementary items as well which was nice. We got a kimchi pancake, tofu stew, and cheese fondue. Would definitely recommend coming by! Parking is a bit difficult, it's either $20 for parking near the restaurant, street parking, or free neighborhood parking. Staff were all efficient and nice. They grill your meat for you!

Quarters is a popular KBBQ spot in Koreatown that I've been hearing about and I finally visited for the first time. The quality of meat is great and I love the flavors and textures of the cuts! My party of 4 ordered a Large Combo which came with a variety of beef and pork options and a kimchi or soybean stew. The portions were smaller than I expected, but still filling, maybe more for a party of 3 than 4 people. The ribeye was tender and the marinated short rib was delicious! The cut of the pork belly and pork jowl made a difference for me, it was on thick side which I personally prefer. But I would have to say, I'm not a fan of the spicy pork jowl. Though the flavor was okay, the quality wasn't as good as the non-marinated version. The banchans were delicious, my party really liked the green onion salad, rice paper, and potato salad! The servers were attentive and kept checking in on our meats, making sure it was grilled properly, though our marinated beef short rib did get burned a little in the beginning. The sides were refilled when requested. The place was pretty busy so I recommend making a reservation

i've been wanting to come here forever since i was 15 after hearing so much hype about it. obviously the hype has died down but they're still part of the michelin guide. thoroughly enjoyed all the meats, though i found it a lil odd they served the marinated meats first (usually served last bc they're the yummiest parts), nonetheless i lovedddde the marinated short rib holy it was actually god tier. they even cut up the meat right on the bone for us after seeing tiff and i eye it LMAOOOOOO. the cheese fondue was a really nice westernized touch that ive never seen before but really enjoyed especially with the pork jowl, felt like i was filling the meat into fresh nacho cheese LMAO. the super westernized sauces kind of threw me off a bit, i would've rather had ssamjang and soy-based sauces over the chimichurri and what tasted like a version of gochujang mayo lol. stews and side dishes were nothing to write home about imo. Space is big inside and service is fine, they cook the meat for you.

The best in town. Every time we came here is a something special. Broccoli in that's sauce is insane. I really like service, they cook themselves in front of you. Music is a bit too loud but I guess is Asian style lol

Mara S.

Delicious food! The service was good, but the vibe was great. This is definitely more of a trendy spot in Koreatown, I've been in a couple times and have had good experiences each time. It's definitely on the pricier side, but it is very good if you decide to go.

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!

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.
