I've been trying out a few pool places recently as I get into it and I can say this is one i definitely wouldn't come back to. We came late on a Monday night and were treated extremely rudely, and based on past reviews I definitely believe it has something to do with us being a group of women. We were the only ones in there and the owner and his friends stared us down every time we played. He also started the timer as soon as we walked in and said we wanted to play before we even got the table. He came over to ask us to turn down our music (which was so low he didn't notice for 30+ mins) despite us being the only people in there with radio station ads playing. The tables were $15 an hour and cash only which I personally hate considering it's 2026 and I believe it's outdated. $15 an hour felt especially steep when there is no real music, no drinks, no snacks and no nothing but rude service. I've played pool at dive bars in nicer parts of LA at billaird places for $2 an hour. The owner and his friend mocked us as we played in front of them so I would not say it's beginner friendly. Also I previously came here on a Saturday night when it was packed and because there is zero ventilation there is a certain smell that sticks... Overall I would not recommend this place especially if you are a woman unless you are okay with unwelcoming service read more

Small but nice spot. Couple of Carom Billiard tables makes even more inviting. Manager/Owner has great disposition. Wish they had space for food and drinks. read more

Lost gem in LA. It's nothing fancy or special, if you want a place to play billiards, this is it. The rates are exceptionally cheap and parking is plentiful. You can bring in your own drinks. Business is family owned and they are quick when you need help. Fast service. read more

Seoul Billiard - a pool table and chairs - Pool Halls Near Me - Gardena, California

Owner can't manage his own business right we waited for a table and gave it to someone else just cuz he didn't see us waiting and people are drinking hard liquor when he should be pressing them not us read more

Cash only, $15 an hour. You get to choose which table to play on. All in all, you get what you pay for. No reason for a bad review, only good experiences here. read more

Came here to have a good time... left getting chewed out by the owner. A little context, we paid for two hours and as we are leaving the owner yelled at us for not paying despite paying. We understand that he probably forgot but it was quite embarrassing since it felt like a walk of shame. Everyone was just staring at us. I also want to add that the owner did apologize afterwards but just said okay as he doubled checked his screen. It almost felt like racial profiling. read more

I had an incredibly frustrating experience. I came here hoping to enjoy a night of pool, but left feeling dissatisfied. While I was waiting outside, the owner assured me he would secure a spot for us, but that promise was far from fulfilled. I ended up waiting for about an hour, only to find that someone else who had waited inside got the spot first. There's no indication anywhere that waiting inside is required, and if the owner agreed to hold a spot, why was it an issue? I hope this serves as a learning experience for the owner. There was a clear lack of respect, I Won't be coming back here. read more

Avoid this place. Owner will get you to wait by telling you a table will be open soon despite not being open. I asked him if it was cool to go grab some food and if he would still save my spot in line, I even offered to put money down to save my spot. He said he would. When I came back he said it would be another 30 minute wait, when a table finally opened he gave it to some customers who had been waiting a lot less longer than me, when I asked him why he said "oh they wait inside." Will take my business elsewhere from now on. read more

This guy lovingly cleans every table after every use. The tables are well loved and well taken care of. People were mostly wearing masks inside, I saw a few noses. Happy hour is still a thing, it's now 12-5. read more

me and a group of girls walked into here (bunch of guys inside the place) and when we chose a pool table to play the guy running the place said it was broken and grabbed the stick away from me. we tried to go to another pool table and the guy said they were all broken so we just left. dont come here if you're a girl read more

UPDATE: Owner no longer accepts credit cards. Cash only. $15 per hour. Go in, find an open table, push the yellow square button located on the stand/shelf/table to start your timer/session. Rack the balls when you're done. Go up to the guy and pay. He's just off in his corner. Just do your thing. Come here if you literally just want to shoot pool. Tables are well taken care of. No frills. Tons of mismatched chairs to sit on. He let's you bring your own drinks and food. Respect the space and clean up after yourselves. Bathroom can use a little help but other than that, it's a nice place and best of all, drama free place to shoot pool. @makeMePrettie after-work stress reliever when necessary! read more

I've been to this spot a couple of times. It's a really chill space and there's plenty of tables for the traffic that frequents this establishment. The rate is $15 per hour to play, there are individual timers per table that clearly display how much time has elapsed, and THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH (for the record, I'm not trynna yell. It's just if y'all read nothing else, I wanted you to know this) The atmosphere it self is a little stale. Like there's usually some kind of sports on the TVs but it's not like there's any atmospheric music, or even sports commentary.. but in my opinion, that makes great for just random conversation with your company. And it's BYOB, so if you're pulling up, don't forget you case of whatever. And if you do there's a CVS walking distance from the this location. Overall, I have enjoyed myself at this establishment. The man who runs the place is usually kicking it with his buddies that will pop in and play some rounds every now and then. Really chill people for the most part. But yea. I rock with them! read more

My friends and I were accused of not paying for the last hour of our game. After much back and forth and with proof we had paid the owner finally relented. However he never apologized and made a scene in front of everyone. It was extremely uncomfortable and we will not be returning. read more

My favorite spot. The owner is nice, remembers you when you come back, and always cleans up when people leave. He brushes the tables and wipes down the balls when a table clears up, which is why everything is so neat. Pros: - A lot (8 I think) of tables, for both 8/9 ball and 3 ball - Vending machines inside ($1-2) with snacks and drinks - Outside food/drinks are allowed - Prices are per $13 table, which makes it great for large parties - Restroom available - Parking is always available - Tables are pretty spaced out Cons: - N/A read more

Seoul Billiard - Good place to play after eating next door. Good price per hr. - Pool Halls Near Me - Gardena, California

If you are looking for an upscale club or social hangout, this is not the place. Seoul Billiard is as bare-bones, old school billiards as you can get. The fact that they have Carom tables tells you how legit this place is. The man running things seemed friendly enough, smiling. Language might be a barrier so people who think he's standoff-ish, give him a break. He takes great pride in cleaning the tables as soon as anyone is done. I loved playing Carom here. The only downside is there are no drinks. Not just alcohol, but no water or anything. It's all BYOB. The place is cash only too. If you are a serious pool player, give the place a chance. While small, it's the best atmosphere around. read more

Seoul Billiard - Carom tables. - Pool Halls Near Me - Gardena, California

Owner is Kinda strange, seen me and my friend walk in but didn't say anything until we were actively looking to pay. He actually didn't really speak either...he barked "$15 for one hour" then when I turned my music on ( he was playing the radio, old people stuff) he yelled at me to turn off my music. There's no water no beer no nothing inside. Play and go lol it's pretty lame, definitely my first and last time coming. If you're 50 and over you might like this place. If you're too young to get into a pool bar this might be the place for you also lol. The owner need to lighten up. Maybe get a younger staff to help him UNFUNK the place. read more

This billiards room is located in a small plaza, right next to a few restaurants, limited parking spots available. Bright and spacious inside, the server was very polite and cleaned the pool tables often. Took one star off because the credit card machine did not work. $12 dollar per hour, minimum charge $7 for 30 minutes, and happy hour rate is less. read more

I love Seoul Billiard! I don't know any other billiards around town and this one is very close to home. It's located in a plaza with lots of asian restaurants which is convenient. This place charges 12$ an hour with a minimum of 7$/30 min. I usually can squeeze several games including breaks for that hour. Speaking of hour, happy hour is couple bucks less before 5pm I believe. This place has great quality billiard equipment which are all well cleaned and polished. Chalk is provided for the pool cues. And lots of cues to choose from the rack for each table. There's a small vending machine but I'd rather just grab a bite to eat by just walking a couple feet outside. (Or go to Volcano Tea House next door) Along with lots of seating, there is also a well cleaned bathroom. I highly recommend this place and bring friends for great games of billiards. read more

Hung up on me after I asked if it was open and if they had regular pool tables wit pockets. Called bac and he sent me to voicemail.

Totally laid back place! This place has more than 2 pool tables (contrary to other "tips") and is not expensive at all! Whoever put the "$$$" as the rating was SO WRONG. This is definitely "$" inexpensive! This is a really casual place that has a lot of fun to offer. We were greeted when we walked in and offered a free non alcoholic beverage while we were playing a game of pool. When we mentioned that this was our first time, the associate let us know how the pricing and timing worked for the games. It was really simple and helpful to have someone greet us as we came in! We played about 4 games in one hour, which cost only $12. If you want to play for only half an hour, you can pay $7. Half an hour is the minimum. If I were with more people, we could have easily played longer and split the bill! Think about it, with four friends playing two hours; you're only paying six bucks each! Great deal! There is a TV with the game on, which is nice if you're into sports. The only suggestion I would have is to maybe have a little background music somewhere; however, this doesn't seem like a party type of atmosphere. It's pretty much just pool tables and great lighting. So music isn't really a must. Another small suggestion would be to get a few pictures of how to properly rack up the billiard balls. I probably didn't even say that right! Or maybe even some cool charts. It would be cool for newbies like me to learn a little bit of proper terminology and just to know that I'm doing it right. Even without that, it's still fun to just play casually. Street and private lot parking! Also, they take your card as payment; the minimum is $10 to charge to your card, though. Come here with a group of friends after dinner! They are open until 2am! I will definitely be back, either with my boyfriend again or a few friends! This is a great laid back hang out for sure! read more

I am new in town, and was looking for a good pool hall in the area. Saw the high yelp reviews here, and decided to give it a try. Let me start by saying that this is the cleanest pool hall I have ever been to. The staff cleans each table after use, and the balls and sticks are in great condition. The staff was super friendly, and you can't beat the prices! read more

Prices were $12/hr, they have a 30min/$7 minimum. They have happy hour from 12p-5p for $9/hr. They accept credit card as long as its a $10 minimum.

This is an awesome place! I come here pretty often. It's a great place to hang out with friends or practice by yourself. The tables are good and clean.

Really chill spot, owner is super laid back. The pool tables are clean along with the rest of the place. Dart machine is awesome, it's fancy and has a bunch of games with multiple players. Prices are decent for $12 an hour in the pool table ($10 from 10-5) Overall, glad i found this place and ill definitely be back wince it opens up so late. read more

I love this place so much. I would live here if I could. If I had to spend the rest of my life at only one place, I would choose Disneyland, but this place comes at a close second place. The discounts they give here are off the chain yo. Don't be a fool, namsayin', go play pool here. read more

Really $12 for an hour get the fuck out of here that's not enough time for pocket billiards. Second its to god damn bright here turn please dim the fucking light can't even concentrate right here non offense, but there some pretty hot A girls around there that are DTF, Have a nice day you Savage Mofus. read more

This is a cool lil hangout spot. You can take your own food and drinks. The owner keeps all the tables clean. Will definitely be going back. read more

Good experience...Place was very clean, nice atmosphere and very nice staff...They were very accommodating and will definitely be back...

This is the best spot to play on proper sized professional pool tables. Their felt is perfect, and there's enough light to see what and where you're shooting, for all those who are serious about practicing. The staff here are wonderful, courteous, and hospitable. There's also enough space in between tables so you're not bumping into other players. There are other games to play here as well, which is nice. I'm used to shooting at Hard Times, but it's not always easy to make the drive from Torrance to Bellflower!!! read more
