10:30 PM on a Wednesday night and this place is still buzzing! Great late-night atmosphere, good energy, and the place was clean and well kept. Our server, Faye, was super helpful and took great care of us. I got the pork belly combo to go. One of the best parts is that they're open late, so when that late-night craving hits, you've actually got somewhere good to go. Definitely hit the spot. read more

Best gopchang around the area!!! We got the mala and regular large intestine and they were so good! The sauces are so flavorful and went well with the intestine! Normally I like my intestine to be more crispy than chewy- but here its more chewy, in a way that melts in your mouth! We did pop it in the airfryer to get it crispy but I kinda liked it as is! All their banchans were good and flavorful! The mala intestine had a good spice, but it wasnt too spicy! I loved getting their rice cakes to give another chewy texture! Although we got it togo, the restaurant was classic and seemed like a good place to grab drinks! The service was super nice and fast with our order! Would def try this place again! read more

I've been really craving large intestine bbq and this place really hit the spot without having to go all the way to Ktown. Their large intestines are incredibly fatty and juicy. When it gets charred on the grill the caramelization adds the perfect amount of sweetness and smokiness. Each bite feels like it's bursting with flavor and the inside of my mouth is coated with a layer of oil. Here the intestines are precooked, but they heat it up and cut it in front of you on a grill. It comes with mushrooms, onions, peppers and some rice cakes. We ordered the meat combo with 1 portion of spicy large intestines and 1 portion of mala large intestines. When they're mixed together it is kind of hard to tell the flavors apart, but the mala was slightly more sweet. The combo comes with a small steamed egg, spicy rice cakes, cheesy corn and a soy bean soup in addition to the normal banchans. I will say that the banchan and sides it comes with are just okay. The kimchi is pretty sour and fermented. The egg was a little bit over cooked. The soy bean soup was on the saltier side, but you know I'm willing to overlook all of that because of the intestines were just that good. It might be on the pricier side for the combo, but I think it can probably feed 3 ppl easily. There's some parking in the back of the restaurant and along the side streets but it did get filled pretty quickly on a Friday. Would recommend coming early. Service was good and the ambiance is pretty lively. read more

Seoul Belly - Beef combo with soybean soup, tteokboki, corn, salad, and sides - Barbeque Near Me - Artesia, California

We usually go to King Chang whenever we're craving gopchang, but Seoul Belly might just be tied as my new favorite spot; especially for their large beef intestines. We stopped by for dinner on the Fourth of July after landing at LAX and gopchang was the only thing on our minds. Since it was just the two of us, the service was impeccable. Huge shoutout to Daniel and Suhyeon for their warm hospitality and attentiveness throughout the meal. The ambiance is cozy and homey, with that classic hole-in-the-wall charm and a lively late-night vibe, complete with K-pop playing on the big screen. We ordered the large beef intestines combo, split half regular and half spicy, which ended up being the perfect combination. We also added an order of brisket and the spicy cold noodles. The noodles were incredible; perfectly chewy with just the right amount of spice, and they paired so well with everything else. The banchan was also fresh, plentiful and thoughtfully prepared. We'll definitely be back the next time a gopchang craving hits! read more

Saw this restaurant online & had to check it out for myself! The mala large intestines were so delicious and all the sides were delicious - especially enjoyed how they offered lettuce and perilla leaves to make a ssam. The meat melted in your mouth and the sauce was sweet, savory, and had a touch of mala numbing spice. Cold noodles were great as well and helped to cut through the rich meat! It's a small and quaint and the music and vibes are good - not too loud & the service was awesome. Can't wait to come back! read more

This was a great dinner! We got 2 combo plates - bulgogi and pork belly with 2 sides of rice. It was enough for 2 adults and 2 kids! We left full! We were the first ones in when they opened for dinner and service was quick. World cup was on in the background while we were eating. There's restaurant parking and also some street parking! Will definitely be back with friends to try other food on the menu! read more

If you're a fan of gopchang, Seoul Belly is definitely worth checking out. The gopchang was some of the fattiest and juiciest I've had, with a great smoky flavor from the grill and the perfect chewy texture. The pork belly was also cooked beautifully and paired well with all the banchan. One of my favorite parts of the meal was the spicy bibim naengmyeon. The cold noodles were refreshing and balanced out all the rich grilled meats perfectly. Add a shot of soju, and it's a combination that's hard to beat. The portions were generous, the food came out fresh, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. If you're looking for a spot for Korean BBQ, gopchang, and Korean comfort food in Artesia, Seoul Belly is definitely worth a visit. read more

Discovered this place through social media and am happy to report it is 100% worth the hype. Came on a Friday at opening and was seated right away. The parking lot is small so some of us parked on the street. The inside is cozy, cool (temperature wise), and was playing old school Korean music. Service was attentive too. Got 3 combo orders (large intestine (half mala and half regular), beef brisket, and pork belly). The combos also come with spicy rice cake, corn cheese, soybean stew, and steamed egg. What we loved is that everything that comes with the meal was delicious! The mala flavor of the intestine isn't that spicy but has a delicious flavor and slight numbing. Price is super reasonable as well. Everyone in the party all agree we would come back. read more

I used to be a frequent visitor of Songhak, so when I found out that Seoul Belly was opening and also have intestines, I knew I have to check them out! We ordered a medium combo of large intestines half spicy and half regular. We also added an order of spicy pork belly. Everything was so good and you can tell they use high quality intestines/meat. Next time though, I will stick to the regular, as the spicy sauce makes the meat a bit too sweet and greasy. Their cold noodle was so good and refreshing! It paired super well with the intestines/meat. The staff were super attentive and kept checking up on us! Their set up is really cool, as they have the chairs with the compartment where you can put your belongings inside to prevent the smell. read more

So I thought this place was definitely clean and thankfully we were the first ones there at opening on a Sunday so not too many people. I only see this place really with a line later in the night. We ordered half small and large with a side of pork belly. I was anticipating the side of pork belly to be more than one piece of Pork belly since the bill came and we were charged $21.99 and the waiter told us that it would be around $70 for the entire thing. Since I did ask him that I didn't want the $21.99 cause I figured that was definitely More than what we got usually right? I just told him k wanted a little bit and he said others do that too but the price for that is not on the menu u but they work it out with their customers. So I was confused about that. We got billed $90+ for half and half and a side of pork belly which I know was one piece only since I saw 6 one inch cut pieces. Nothing more. That annoyed me. But it's not bad food. I think it's good. The best? No.... The price? I mean where is it cheap nowadays. Just bummed that we got charged more than I was told. If that is the $21.99 that's on the menu for pork belly then don't order that since that's only 6 cut pieces of pork belly for $22. That's highway robbery already. You guys need to clarify this stuff better to your customers cause money doesn't come easy. read more

Ordered the medium intestine platter with half spicy and half regular. Easy 5/5. It had been a while since having intestines, so this really hit the spot. Everything was cooked well and full of flavor. Service was also 5/5. Our server gave solid recommendations and kept things running smoothly. No complaints. Ambiance gets another 5/5.

Food- excellent. I normally am not a fan of intestines, but the sauce kept me coming back for more. I guess it's a love hate dish for me. The thinly slices porkbelly was like a roller coaster of fat and spicies taking me on a trip to flavor town. All of it went down the hatch with a crisp glass of cold Cass beer. Very nice meal on a cold night. Service- good and attentive to.our needs. Ambiance.- small and cozy. Great place to meet up with a small group Cleanliness- i would eat here. Bathroom- clean , one for men and one women. Parking - decent more than 10 spots, but tight. Cost- reasonable read more

First time going to Seoul Belly! Went there for dinner last night, it was better than I had thought. The vibe is great, perfect amount of people inside with no wait. Our server was kind, professional, and comfortable to interact with. He recommended the main a little bit of everything entree with one of the belly sides. KBBQ is in my top 3 all time meals along with Italian and Japanese, so very excited to see what this is all about. The best part of the experience is all of the items were home style. The sauces, salad, dips, and sides were uniquely flavorful compared to some of the other chain bbq establishments. My favorite was the large or small intestine, delicious! Definitely looking forward to coming back for the thin sliced spicy belly and one of the soups. Saw other people ordering them, it all looked worth it. read more

Second time coming here and my fiance and I love the place. Both times we got thin pork belly (we love pork belly). I love the mix you get on the meat platter and its perfect amount for both of us. It comes with side dishes and on the platter is bean sprouts, corn cheese, egg, onions, garlic and mushroom mixed. Then there is one item on there that we are not too sure what it is, but it seems like white kimchi. The service was very quick and the staff was very attentive to make sure all of our needs were being met. I would definitely recommend this place. If you are craving something korean bbq style but not too hungry and dont want ayce, definitely try the place out! read more

This location previously had a similar menu but closed during the pandemic. It had an old school vibe, definitely quieter. This reopened spot is geared towards a younger crowd of barflies pocha eats spot. Music is quite loud but I hear that makes patrons eat more or faster. Our family came here for dinner, and it was quite busy and loud. Not the typical AYCE Korean bbq, but the kind where your server also cooks your food on the tabletop grill. Food menu features pre grilled meats that get a final sear on an iron grill heated by sterno packs. We got a mixture of snowflake pork belly (it's pre-scored to tenderize) , thin sliced beef and a side of small intestines. The server brought out the raw beef and the pork and intestine half done , to finish cooking on the grill. The dumplings with beef stew is brought out arranged very carefully on a round metal plate, then hot broth poured over all to keep cooking, also using sterno packs to heat. Delicious. The table shared a cabbage stew, and a cold noodle soup. The meal included steamed egg that had some fish roe and seaweed. Side dishes of white kimchi, sliced onions with bean sprouts & potato salad. Very satisfying meal. Parking is shared with apartments in the rear, so watch where you are parked - some spaces are designated tenant only. Be prepared for a smoky experience, recommend very casual wear (translation: check your hamper for cleanish clothing, lol). read more

This brand new Korean restaurant really set the bar high when it comes to BBQ. Seoul Belly just opened in Artesia and already this small but mighty restaurant is filling up fast with patrons. They start you off with jiggly steamed egg and cabbage soup before they bring out a beautiful plate of your choice of meats to cook on a stone grill. The staff here cooks the meat for you tableside to utter perfection. All the cuts of meat are so high quality, but my favorite had to be the thick-cut pork belly that you can get mala spicy. It was not too spicy at all and the marinade was a 10/10. They also have everything from spicy cold noodles to volcano mala intestine stew that has intestines, pork belly, thin rice noodles--what a flavor bomb. And don't forget to leave some meat and veggies for the best part: order the cheese fried rice and they cook everything together at the end of your meal right on your stone grill! Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

Seoul Belly - Volcano mala intestine stew / Brisket bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Artesia, California

This place took over Songhak, which also served intestines. It was the favorite restaurant my friends and I loved to go to every so often. We were very sad to hear Songhak closed but were ecstatic to see that it was replaced by another intestine restaurant. The inside didn't change very much, if at all. I think the tables were switched out and that was it. The restaurant itself is not very spacious and can seem crowded if it is full. There are many small tables and only one table for a large group of 8 (adding more chairs to this table would make it overcrowded). Service is fast, but the restaurant wasn't too busy when we went on a Saturday night. We got an order of the spicy small/large intestines, thin pork belly, and then added on an order of regular large intestines. At the end we ordered fried rice to finish what was left. I would say the spicy intestines is very saucy with a medium level of spice (probably very spicy to those that don't normally eat spicy). It's actually pretty delicious, but it's definitely drenched in sauce. The regular intestines didn't stand out to me unfortunately, and that's odd because I LOVED the regular intestines from this restaurant's predecessor Songhak. I don't think I would order the pork belly again, but it was a good "filler meal" if you got tired of eating only intestine. It came with some corn cheese, grilled onions, kimchi, egg, and some bean sprout banchan-style. Anyway, this is a close contender for Songhak and I hope as time goes on, they can improve even more with their delicious intestine dishes! read more

Okay - at this point - I have been here 4 times since its opened in the span of 6 weeks. I am going to be honest, this is one of the best kbbq place that isnt an AYCE. I don't get the intestines and I just get the pork belly lol. Its so good and the portions are amazing at the right price. The service is a little bit slow but I get it since its a small shop and they are trying their best. Quality is there and the ambiance is there. It helps that I am Korean and i am unsure if non-Koreans would enjoy it as much as I do. As someone originally from Seoul, this place was amazing and reminded me of true Korean bbq than all the fake ones rampant in OC right now that claim to be KBBQ but it really isn't. read more

I found out that this became a new kbbq place specializing in large intestines, and I was super excited to check it out. Warning parking is limited. Inside, they set up the interior Korean pocha style with metal round tables. We ordered the large intestines set doing half regular half spicy and large pork belly set (choosing thick cut). The food came out already cooked which was nice. It's not on an actual grill but over a fire, so I thought I wouldn't like it. But because it comes already cooked, I didn't mind. Everything was good but I enjoyed the spicy large intestine the most. When we go back, we said we would only do the spicy. They also have fried rice at the end and that was nice too. Highly recommend if you like intestines! read more

If you're looking for a spot that nails both the food and the vibes, this is it. I came specifically for the pork belly and the small & medium intestines--which they are famous for--and they did not disappoint. Absolutely delicious and lived up to the hype! The Vibe: The interior is the perfect blend of cozy and modern. It feels upscale but comfortable. A huge plus for me was the music volume; it's kept at "just right" levels, so you can actually have a conversation without shouting. It's an ideal setting for a girls' night out or a big group gathering. The Details: * Family-Friendly Perks: The bathrooms are spotless and--importantly--separate for men and women. As a parent with a daughter, I really appreciated that extra level of comfort and cleanliness. * Service: The staff is impressively fast and incredibly polite. We never felt neglected even though the place was buzzing. * Parking: We visited at night and had zero issues. There is plenty of parking available, which is a rare find! Bottom line: Great food, professional service, and a thoughtful layout. I'll definitely be bringing my friends back here soon! read more

Came to this restaurant as soon as it opened and it quickly filled up and by the time we left there was a line out the door for good reason! This place was delicious! Employees are super nice and come around to help cook and cut your meat. When your food comes out, they lay it out of the grill for you. The banchan was super good. We did the two meat combo w the cabbage soup and steamed egg. Cabbage soup, don't let it sound boring, because this was actually really good. Their steamed egg was perfect seasoned, and did not disappoint either. For our two meats, we chose pork belly and bulgogi. For the pork belly you can choose thin and thick cut. We chose thick. They precook the meat before they send it out to make the cooking go faster. Super smart in my opinion. Everything we ate was really good. We also had two bottles of saero. Place is kind of small, but they have table extenders to help with space on the table. They play great music here too! Highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again! read more

We discovered Seoul Belly on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Great service, delicious food, pretty clean, and in a hidden little area, with the exterior being decorated by some cute fairy lights. There were about 9 tables, but this place is pretty new so it wasn't that busy around 9 pm. PRO TIP that took us a few minutes to realize: the chopsticks, spoons, and napkins are in a little drawer on one side of the table. We had the spicy pork belly (which you have the option of getting either thinly or thickly sliced). Although there was banchan with free refills like most Korean restaurants, the pork belly was generously accompanied with even more banchan--yum. It had bean sprouts, corn cheese, soft scrambled eggs, and an onion-green onion-mushroom mix on the metal tray. I usually don't really care for scrambled eggs, but the way they cooked it was so soft, silky, and satisfying. The actual banchan in little side dishes consisted of kimchi, a salad with chili-sesame oil dressing, some kind of green tubed vegetable, bean sprouts, marinated onions, pickled vegetables, and potato salad. The servers were very warm and informative while they were cutting and cooking our meat. Although some of the dishes had red pepper, the heat was pretty low. I can handle spice but my boyfriend can't; however, nothing was overly spicy for him. The server also recommended us the lemon soju because it was a newer flavor, and the taste of alcohol was less noticeable than other sojus. Both of us are definitely fruity cocktails type of people so that was surprising. We were thinking of ordering more in the beginning, but just one order of thinly sliced pork belly was enough to feed the both of us until we had bulging stomachs! Once this spot inevitably becomes more popular, I would recommend carpooling due to the limited parking. Would totally come back here. My boyfriend is kind of picky sometimes but he agreed this place exceeded our expectations. Apparently the owners of Seoul Belly also own DPot, so i'm definitely going to have to give it a try, too :)) read more

Had such a great experience at Seoul Belly! The food was honestly so good -- everything we tried was flavorful and cooked perfectly. I really appreciated that even though it's not AYCE, the prices are still very reasonable for the quality you're getting. Our server really made the experience stand out. He was super personable and friendly, and even recommended we try the bean paste with our pork belly -- which ended up being SO good and something I wouldn't have tried otherwise. We ended up chatting about EDC and Coachella, and he just made the whole vibe feel really welcoming and fun. Also love that they're open late because it's such a solid spot for late night cravings.

If you're looking for a spot that absolutely delivers on flavor, vibe, and portion size, Seoul Belly is a MUST. Came here with some friends and we ordered a mix of dishes to share, and everything that hit the table was . The standout for me was the sizzling spicy platter--perfectly cooked, coated in a rich, bold sauce that had just the right balance of heat and sweetness. The meat was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can literally hear it sizzling as it arrives, which just adds to the whole experience. We also tried a combo platter with grilled meats and crispy pieces that were insanely good--smoky, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with fresh greens, garlic, and dipping sauces. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the portions were super generous--definitely great for sharing. The atmosphere was lively and fun, perfect for a night out with friends.

The banchan served included a steamed egg, soup, kimchi along with radish and sauces as well. Food was delicious and portions were generous. The service was top tier.

So, I sat down thinking I'd be waiting for my food to cook--surprise! The marinated pork and small intestines came pre-grilled, saving me precious minutes of staring at the flame. But here's the kicker: you can crisp them up even more on the tabletop grill. I almost ate too early--rookie mistake! The banchan was plentiful, and that tangy salad sauce? It had just the right zing. Service was smooth, and even though it's a cozy joint, I didn't need to elbow anyone out of the way on a weekday. All in all, it's got that fun DIY crisp factor--and trust me, let it sizzle! read more

This has been my go to place for gopchang and pork belly for a while. But, idk if they've changed things up. This last visit I ordered small/large intestines & an extra order of pork belly. My pork belly was shredded & im almost positive they gave me beef bulgogi. Because it wasn't the usual marinade I've had before. The service here has always been a little slow, but never enough for me to complain. I didn't notice different staff members than before from my prior visits. But this day. I didn't get my steamed egg, rice cakes or the correct order of pork belly. I was really disappointed because on this visit, I was most looking forward to it. Most places the pork is really tough but Seoul belly is really good. I hope they work things out because this is my fav spot. read more
