Yooksoo Boolgogi Lunch Combo
Sam M.

Came here for a heavy lunch and was completely satisfied! We got the Yooksoo Boolgogi Lunch and it was so filling.. come prepared with empty stomachs! We were super happy with our food! Servers are super helpful and hardworking! Support this business! Plenty of parking!

I happened upon this charming K-BBQ restaurant in La Cañada Flintridge. The place was clean, food (hot pot bibimbap, side dishes) was really good, and maybe it was because it wasn't busy when I went there (12-1pm-ish), but service was quick and efficient, despite there being only one server. If I'm in town again, I'll definitely make another visit. 정말 감사합니다!!!

Marinated Galbi (1 order)

Lots of tables. I don't think they ever get full. Service is good. - Dolpan Bibimbap 3.8/5 Lots of vegetables and it was pretty good. Just a normal bibimbap on a big stone plate. It's definitely shareable. - Marinated Galbi 2.1/5 One order for this small piece (picture is two pieces cut in half) and it's almost $80. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT. We complained about how small the galbi was so they gave a soybean soup and a steamed egg for free (they knew it was small). Next to market, free parking.

Food is great

The customer service was very good. Very nice workers that kept us entertained and having a good time. Would come back later down the road

I couldn't drive to Korea town for Cold noodles. So I came to a place much closer to me. The mool naeng myun (cold noodles) is good here, and I would come back.

Awesome place! My gf and I didn't know this place even existed until one day we just looked up KBBQ near us and this place popped up! We ordered the Beef Combo S ($129.99) and it was just enough for us both to get full but not "overly full" as you normally would get with your regular KBBQ places. They do NOT have an all you can eat/buffet special however the portioning was good and they constantly refill the sauces / rice paper / kimchi etc. The service was friendly & welcoming! The restaurant was clean and smelled like Good BBQ. We'll be back!!

I love this place not just for KBBQ, but for other Korean comfort foods. It was a cold day and I wanted to try their Budae-Jjigae (army stew), because I've seen other diners order it and it looks amazing. I came here on a Saturday evening and it was bustling. Luckily there was an open table for us so we got seated quickly. There were only two ladies working at the time, so they were busy running around, but we didn't mind waiting. I was busy snacking on the yummy banchan- their kimchi is addicting! We ordered the budae-jjigae and it was enough for at least four people. The stew was filled with cuts of sausage, spam, kimchi, onion, beef, tofu, and a block of ramen noodles. It was placed on the table stove-top so it was constantly boiling. The flavor was so tasty and I loved all the ingredients inside. I was very pleased with this dish and I will be returning just to get this again.

Kimchi tofu Jiggae

I have been eating at this restaurant for the past 8 years and I highly recommend them. This place is conveniently located in our town and there is absolutely no need to go all the way to K town for good Korean food. I have just had extensive dental implants put in and cannot eat anything besides soft foods like stews and soups. I went there for dinner and ordered the kimchi tofu soup with mushrooms and zucchini and the young lady Michelle was ever so kind to accommodate my request. She even brought me a side of potatoes that was soft and delicious. The soup as you can see in the picture is absolutely amazing delicious and fresh. They NEVER disappoint! Anyone looking for good quality Korean food this is the place to go.

Hamulpajeon - seafood pancake
Janelle L.

This was a surprisingly tasty Korean BBQ find on the border between La Crescenta and La Canada. The telltale sign of a good Asian restaurant is that there are Asians of that country eating there. I wasn't craving kbbq on this night. I just didn't feel like cooking. We ordered the galbitang, hamulpajeon and the bibimbap. The galbitang hit the spot, nice clear broth, plentiful chunks of short rib meat, lots of gristle. The hamulpajeon is one of my favorites. It is light batter with tons of octopus and green onions. Although we didn't order the kbbq, everyone else in the place did. Guess that means I have to come back and try it.

Tim H.

Easy parking since it's a shopping complex lot. BONUS: During peak Friday/weekend hours we just come here to avoid the LONG LONG wait at other k-bbq spots such as Gen Korean BBQ House in Glendale (1hr 45min wait). Decent banchan and good meat quality. Wouldn't say it's top choice but does the deed. No issues with customer service as others had mentioned. The Seoul Cham Soot BBQ team promptly changed the grill and brought items we need to re-up on.

The have a fantastic happy hour with half off some of their drinks and half off certain appetizers and entrees (check thier website!). Their corn bread is a must with thier iconic japelpeno jam spread (though its not included on thier happy hour). They have great sides and appetizers, and haven't had one I didn't like! Their baby back, spare ribs, and brisket are fantastic with sauces on the side if you wanted to more BBQ sauce to your BBQ meat! Though in my opinion, I don't need it usually, as the meats are already so flavorful as is! I'd say its great for groups, though a bit pricy, but boy is this good, hearty, fall of the bone, BBQ! The servers have always been great and kind and even when we were celebrating a birthday last visit, they brought out a icecream Sundae with a candle! Very sweet! I talked to a man at the South Pasadena museum and told us that Gus's is the oldest BBQ establishment in California, serving hungry patrons since 1946. They haven't been in business in over 70 years for nothing! Thought it's been a long time, the place is still well maintained and updated so it still is nice and clean, but still keeping its historic core. Come by this meaty institution for their renowned classic American barbaque, with great libations, great food and amazing service with tasty history!

The soda refills were flowing. The service was great. Everyone was super kind and helpful with ordering. :) There is a parking lot right next to the entrance. There's also plenty of parking around the area or neighborhood.

It also felt good supporting what appears to be a small business that clearly takes pride in both its food and customer service.

Upon entering the establishment, the ambience of the place embraces you as a guest. Small, but nicely decorates and with good music playing. It's a very comfortable environment for enjoying this stellar barbecue and sides. Smaller menu, but it's really all you need, especially when you do the one thing you do really well. Mashed potatoes are authentic handmade mashed potatoes with the taste of home. BBQ was perfect and tender and TASTY. Reminder 1: this is quality food, not fast food, so be prepared to wait a little bit, especially if you have a larger order. Reminder 2: BBQ it's not a cheap food to make, so you will not find any dollar menus here, but if you compare to Manny, the other barbecue restaurants in their location, you will find this is an extremely good value.

I didn't have anyone with me telling me that eating a four-pack of high calorie, high carb, and high cholesterol meals in less than 100 hours probably wasn't the smartest idea. But, holy hells, was it worth it. Sometimes you've just got to say eff it and go for the barbecue. Especially when the spare rib plates shine like a new pin like at Max City. I enjoyed the way this platter came out with all those half-dozen St. Louis ribs piled up like a stack of wood next to the pristine Mac and the even better baked beans. And, as a famous eater once said, I especially enjoyed the experience of getting them in my belly. I don't know if I've ever mentioned it before, but this unholy trinity is a serious contender for what I'd want as my last meal on Earth. Ribs. Mac. Beans. Simple. The service was great here. It was like cozying up to your local bbq joint and being greeted like you were a regular. Every word and smile was genuine, and they moved to get you your meal with purpose. The ambiance was grand. It was like you'd been let in on the secret of a great hole-in-the-wall bbq speakeasy and you were doing your best to soak it all in. It's not the biggest location and definitely not tye most upscale, but I'm of the belief the best barbecue spots aren't pretentious and aren't trying to wow you with pizazz. They just want to get a good meal in you and send you home happy. Max City does this in spades. I don't know how often I'll make it out this way to Eagle Rock before I die someday. But I've been thinking if my time should happen to expire eating a caseful of ribs, mac, and beans--that would be such a heavenly way to pass. At least I'd be doing something I love.

It was a little pricey, about $130 for two people excluding drinks, but we definitely overordered since it was our first time and we weren't familiar with the portions. My only complaint was that our order was mistakenly packaged as takeout, even though we planned to dine in. Everything came in containers instead of trays, which made sharing and eating a little awkward. We had to ask for an extra tray and didn't realize cardboard trays were available until later. I was literally eating off one of the container lids because I didn't know where else to put my food, lol! Other than that, great food, music, and atmosphere! Parking was easy to find behind the restaurant and cost around $2-$3. Would definitely come back!

It wasnt that busy at the time of our arrival. There were a lot of tables and the noise level was quiet. The host was nice and sat us not too long after we arrived. The table that we got sat at was extremely wobbly. My father-in-law noticed another table had napkins placed underneath to stabilize so he did the same to our table and it worked. Tara took our order and brought out the drinks. The food was 90% great! The 10% that fell short was a combination of things. 1) menu online and the physical menu said corn bread (which we were told no longer serves them). If its no longer available, update the menu because we were excited to try the corn bread. 2) a bbq place with no wet naps, that is really weird. However, they did bring me a stack of paper towels that were wet as if they were wet naps. 3) only 1 steak knife was provided in the platters. It was hard for a party of 6 to cut up meat with only 1 steak knife. 4) one of the sides came out cold, and hard. I bit into a macaroni and it felt raw because of how hard it was! I even dropped the macaroni on the plate and it rang! We brought it to the servers attention and we were able to get a fresh one free of charge. We loved the short ribs and the tomahawk steak! They were delicious. Baked potato as a side item was very large! During the whole time we were eating, no one came by to check on us, refills were not provided until after we were done eating. We never got one of the drinks that Tara wrote down and it showed up on the check. I was trying to get a staff members attention, and my hand was raised up, and there were hosts that saw my hand raised, but did nothing. There were other servers and runners that saw it too. Took a while for us to get any help. We eventually flagged down our server after what felt like 5 minutes. We brought the charge to our servers attention, and they corrected that too. Overall, the table service could have been a lot better, fix broken tables, and I suggest you bring your own wet naps or baby wipes because they dont supply any.
