Late night KBBQ after a concert?? Say less!! Starving? Don't want to deal with annoying LA pay parking? STE101 is the place to go!! We came here after a show & I've never been so grateful for a grill in front of me. Their basic tier is only $27 & includes all the essentials: Brisket (my fave!) Ramen Steamed egg Soybean & kimchi soup Like... hello? SUCH a good deal. The brisket hits, the sides are fresh, & the service was quick + friendly. Plus, NO need to pay for parking?! This spot checks all my boxes. Will definitely be back for another post-concert kbbq! Such chill vibes. read more

We came here after a Blackpink concert around 12:30 AM, and there were only one or two tables occupied. By 1:30 AM, the place was PACKED, with a bunch of people waiting outside. I love that this KBBQ spot stays open until 4 AM which is perfect if you're craving Korean food after a night out. Coming from the Bay Area, I'm used to KBBQ being expensive, so I was surprised to find that it's only $27.99 per person here. Everything was pretty good and tastes like your average KBBQ place! They have a variety of sides and appetizers like cheese corn, steamed egg, japchae, ramen, soup, and more! My only complaint is the service. It was difficult to communicate with the servers and get our questions answered. It also took a while to flag someone down when we were ready to order more meat or sides. read more

It was 1 am, my boyfriend & I were craving yummy kbbq. The usual spot we go to was closed so we came here instead. We walked in & were seated right away. Meats - We chose the AYCE B menu since A didn't have beef tongue & large intestines which are my faves! Verdict: they were ok. Their Marinated Short Rib was good! Pork belly & brisket were decent. Side dishes - ok / a lil bland, except the kimchi. The kimchi had a nice kick. Also saw that it's an extra charge if you refill the sides & rice more than 2 times which is not what we're used to. Parking - free parking lot & street parking available. Overall, I didn't love it but it's a good pick for late night cravings since most of the other AYCE restaurants closes earlier. Price is comparable in the area but I've had much better quality meats. read more

I have been to this restaurant a couple times and I think it may be under new ownership or management. Nonetheless still a good experience! We did the 27.99 and you get a lot of different meats with it. The staff switched out the plates with good timing and also helped cut some of the meat during their down time. A downside we faced with the experience was that we were told their credit card systems weren't working so it was cash or Zelle. I hope this was just a coincidence and not a frequent thing that happens. Overall it was still a great experience with friendly staff. Parking is $5 if you eat in the complex too. Definitely worth giving a try! read more

STE 101 - Goodness - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great service great food great atmosphere plus they the only place I can find with large intestines

Pretty disappointing considering we walked in with little expectations.. one star for the quick set up and another for no wait on Xmas while all the other kbbq spots in the area were an hour wait. It was pretty much all down hill from there..the menu is very limited, meat is very plain with basic dipping sauces and anytime you ask for assistance or a refill the servers would literally run from you before you could finish your sentence and half the time they forget what you asked for.. The ventilation is also terrible. Granted for the price I'm not expecting top tier quality or service, I just wish they didn't treat us like anytime we needed something we were such a burden. I'd personally save my money next time around considering they also add an 18% gratuity even for a party of 2 read more

STE 101 - Short rib - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is good because its open late. The food is ok. They have good service and the atmosphere inside is ok as well. Outside not much parking. read more

They are very short staffed and unorganized. You're lucky to get a seat. The staff is not aware on how to serve. We wanted to start off with 3 orders of the same meat (3 orders to start). The waiter said ok. Next thing we know the manager came up to and was telling us we were ordering wrong and rudely educates us that only 1 type of meat allowed. Wish we were told by the waiter.. The side dishes were ok. There was some hair in the potatoes. Yikes! The meats were fine but frozen. The bulgogi is not bulgogi! It looks so gross. Feels like it was frozen as well. The place was VERY loud. It was so hard to talk to each other. If the music was a bit lower it could've been better. Overall, this place has change. From their staff to the rules and it's so so disorganized. Keep away! read more

The KBBQ is very good. The service is quick and efficient. They helped me cook and cut the various proteins. My favorite was the Beef Bulgogi, beef belly and boneless short ribs. The ambiance is simple and clean. Open til 4am. Great for a late night spot. Parking is tricky but it's like that at most places in Ktown. I came on a Sunday so I found a free parking meter. read more

I went to try the all you can eat KBBQ and this is a solid place while affordable. The service was quick and helpful. They continued to check on us and help out when needed. The food was great, I wasn't a fan of the brisket (usually am), but the short rib was delicious! The seating set up is organized and quite spacious! read more

Open late and have a lot of choices. Good customer service. Amazing vibe for being open late.

It was my first time, me and siblings wanted some Korea bbq around the neighborhood and we decided to try this place out but we were really disappointed. We ordered meat and some rice but the rice looked a bit yellowish, had sour smell and taste. We told the server about it she kept insisting that the rice was cooked that day, we told that we understand but we did not want eat spoiled rice especially with 2 little kids with us. She said that the new rice will take about 15-20 mins so we waited but it's been almost an hour and they haven't served us but seen other customers were given freshly cooked rice. So followed up and she said another 20 mins. Pretty much we were served rice when we finished already. We kept calling for help but we were ignored for awhile. I won't be coming back here anytime soon, maybe I can give it another shot next time but for now no. read more

Another day in Korea Town, and another new dinning establishment with great food and ambience. Food: They offer AYCE - all you can eat menu with 3 levels of different meat with affordable prices, A, B and C. The meats are well seasoned Service: the lady manager is really nice and friendly and attentive. Ambiance: the restaurant is a well lit room and also enough to have a nice, sweet dinner with someone you fancy. I definitely rate it 4 out of 5 Stars. Thank you for the wonderful food, service and space to have a special dinner with my friends. read more

Discovered an out-of-this-world, all-you-can-eat authentic Korean BBQ in LA's Koreatown! The food and service were absolutely incredible.

"Annyeonghaseyo" (Hello) to all fellow BBQ and Samgyeopsal lovers like me! STE 101 in Koreatown, LA offers a grillin' and sizzlin' fun dining experience. Cooking your own food on the Korean-style grill felt nostalgic, as it has been one of my cherished bonding moments with my daughter. It also transported me back to the time when we explored Korean culture during our travels to South Korea years ago, including eating authentic Korean cuisine. My LA native friend recommended this place. I like their selection of lean meats. From placing that first slice on the grill to the moment it melts in your mouth, the burst of flavors leaves you craving for more. The addition of the veggies and the sauces plus the kimchi make it more delish. Take note: There's a correct way to enjoy the meat with veggies. Take a leaf of green lettuce, add a piece of grilled meat, kimchi, and a bit of rice. Fold it like a pocket, dip it in sauce, then pop it in your mouth to savor the mix of flavors. The customer service was great, and the prices are budget-friendly. The place is casual. Make STE 101 your top choice when you find yourself in Koreatown, Los Angeles. It is indeed "Mashisoyo!" (delicious) read more

First things first: This place offers a "Review us and get a free bottle of soju" deal. While generous, I'm not a shill and didn't undermine my integrity as a reviewer (at least not today ... mostly because I was DD tonight). So you can rest assured my review is genuine. ;) Anyway, for a $27.99 AYCE (option A) per person, it was a steal. However, you do pay for what you get. The place wasn't the cleanest and while our servers were very responsive and helpful, our hostess was a bit rude, as she avoided our gazes/signals constantly and her demeanor was overall dismissive and impatient. I wrote this review in essentially the amount of time it took to get her attention to order more food. Our favorites were the pork/beef belly and spicy bulgogi. You also should order the steamed egg and soybean soup (1 order per 2 people). They're also fairly generous with their banchan, which was a plus. They do NOT honor their "free soda for a checkin" offer on Yelp. Not sure if we'd return, but it is fairly cheap for typical AYCE KBBQ. One last thing: they include a mandatory 18% "service fee", which is basically their tip, regardless of party size. That does inflate your overall cost. read more

Awesome banchan, got all my favorites plus rice paper. Great meat selection, excellent quick service and solid price. The banner outside the restaurant advertises $22.99 All day special, what they do not include is that's for lunch only. Dinner is $27.99 so not a terrible difference. Definitely worth it! read more

STE 101 - Beef Brisket and full Banchan - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

5 of us went last night for dinner and ordered the AYCE A. We ordered brisket, short ribs and bulgogi. The meats were poor quality and full of fat. It was pretty gross. The service was mediocre and gave us attitude when we ordered more meat, asked for more banchan or asked for the grill to be changed. Without even letting us know, she charged us 18 percent gratuity. We would not go back. read more

Okay... so where do I start... The banchan is good, a lot of the same marinades for different veggies but still good taste and options. The food is good overall, meats were simple for the combo we bought (A) but overall good and only slightly chewy. The ambiance is casual. Great spot for friends and large groups. Music is loud, kinda couldn't even hear the person in front of me.. so loud, but again it's a good hang out spot. Now the bad, SERVICE. IS. TERRIBLE. Slow return times and overall lack of attendance led to us calling it early, meaning we left hungry. FROM AM AYCE KBBQ. Unacceptable. Anyways, 80$ later we're going to get boba P.s. there is an unavoidable 10$ "service charge" added to your bill, enjoy read more

Bad service, workers sitting around not attending, on the phone and exiting while on the job, grill was black and super Smokey and didn't get changed till we asked,fake promotion, "free bottle of Soju" once you review on yelp showed proof and didn't get it, save your time and money not worth it read more

Valet parking is $6 for reference but it is what it is for k town. Disclaimer* Also received a bottle of soju for writing this review per their marketing promo. There's a sign above the restaurant that advertises a 22.99 mon-Thursday special which conveniently was cancelled when we asked about it. ($hit. Red flag. Should have walked up and left but already paid for parking.) Heads up: there is a $10.00 service charge that will be added to your bill!!!! (Im sure it is posted on their menu but hey I'll give you guys a heads up if you choose to go here.) We were the only two tables in the restaurant. Red flag #2 during peak dining hours of 6-7:20pm. (K-town is usually busy on Thursdays and onwards I know). To be fair, we went on a random Wednesday.... Music was older 2000-2010 music and seemed a little loud. The host was helpful cooking the meat for us even though we didn't need/ask for it. All in all 2/5 experience. Misleading banner but I'll still give the owner credit for being a one woman show. I just won't be back since there are so many other restaurants to try in the area. read more

Odd service fee when they charge by bank account (Zelle)- what's the charge for? Food was ok, not worth price tho

Just found this place after attending a game around the area. Fortunately, parking was easy tonight but it does look like it would get full pretty quickly. This is the perfect sit down - it's open late night! Service was great, everyone was so kind and gave recommendations. Food is also amazing, I recommend getting brisket, pork belly and also the marinated beef short rib. Will return. read more
