We were driving by and noticed this spot, and since they serve traditional Korean-style pork, we decided to give it a try. Even the side dishes were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The meat was tender, juicy, and paired perfectly with the banchan -- it felt like something I would eat back in Korea. Everything tasted authentic, well-seasoned, and honestly way better than I expected for a random stop. If you're craving real Korean flavors, this place is definitely worth trying. I'll be back for sure!

Pork belly

Attention! This is your Korean grandma owned restaurant! Do not expect the fancy services you receive at the social media famous bbq spots in ktwon! She won't cook the meat for you, but you wouldn't mind it over the juicy pork bellies along with the heaping portions of the kimchi that you grill on the stove too! Ofcourse the Grandma's house tasting side dishes (tofu and the mook) can be replenished! Over all the food will not disappoint!

Pork Belly

This place is like a secret garden of Korean pork belly BBQ place. You probably never heard of it, and it's not easy to find. However, this place has been the same place for over 20 years, and people still eat pork belly and "gochujang jjigae." Service got better since the owners son started to run the business.

Bean sprout
Dokgotak N.

Samgyupsal with best sour kimchi, sour green onion kimchi and marinated bean sprout....near perfect in K-town that I 've ever tasted. A little cozy inside restaurant but not too crowded during the weekdays around 6-8PM. Bibimmyun with meat is a best fit.

The kind of place you eat at and then think about 4-5x throughout the next day. I can't wait to go back. Insane food.

If you're not into the glitz and glamour but purely appreciate food for what it is, you'll be in agreement with me on this. The perfect example of a mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall, anything-you-want-to-name-it, it's all of it! To cut straight to the point: the interior is outdated, your spidey sense might alert that you're entering a slaughterhouse, less than 10 tables, and did I already mention that the interior is outdated? You're greeted by an elderly Korean lady that's not the friendliest but knows she's a baddie because the food says so. Her sidekick is the disguise behind the kitchen that's even more of a bad ass because she's older and just really doesn't give a f***. The only meat that should be cooked on a Korean traditional cauldron lid shape grill is pork belly. Don't come at me. Although it wasn't the best pork belly I've had, the side dishes and the soybean paste soup was. They serve marinated bean sprouts and spring green onion kimchi to grill alongside the meat .. and for all my Koreans out there, you know this means business. Our whole meal came hand in hand and it didn't feel any different than eating at home or with your in-laws (only the good aspect of it). TIP: spacious parking lot with no valet I hear their kimchi stew is to die for but considering the size and cost, it's probably best for a group of 3 or more

Pork belly & chadol bisket
Dee C.

This place is the hidden gem of ktown. So good! Pork belly & brisket was fire. Best kbbq ive had in a while. If youre looking to get korean bbq, come here.

spicy pork

Toad the wet sprocket is what comes to mind when I see the name Toad. Then again, I drove right past this place because I was looking for the name Toad. Thanks to Soy Y., this place is awesome. Outdoor seating but my clothes still smell like KBBQ. The bacon is awesome. First time I've had this that actually tastes like it was marinated. After all the places I've been to. Imagine that. I usually don't eat fatty meats either but I did this evening we were there. The kim chee is good like Soy said and everything is good. I actually ate some spicy but the last dish just about kicked my ass. Let's come back here again.

Best black pork belly BBQ in Los Angeles. Excellent service along with an outside covered patio make it a fine place to eat Korean BBQ.

What I appreciated most was the balance. The service never felt overbearing, so we could relax, enjoy our dinner, and have our own space, while still feeling completely taken care of.

Everyone we encountered throughout the evening was pleasant, welcoming, and accommodating, which made the entire experience feel effortless. I left genuinely impressed with the level of service and will definitely be back. Trevor and the rest of the team made an already great dinner that much better.

Luckily, my younger brother turned me on to Bludso's recently and we just finished a family lunch there. Since they only serve their sandwiches on weekdays, we opted for Fried Okra, "2 Meats 2 Sides"(chicken and brisket), two sandwich buns. At the suggestion of our server, Beto, we added an extra quarter pound of sliced brisket. Beto really knows what he's doing... and because of him it was a perfectly satisfying amount of food for the three of us. He definitely went above and beyond. We're looking forward to heading there on one of the next weekdays our teenager has off to try their sandwiches.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!…read more When the employee lured us in, she said to go to the counter inside and wait for someone to seat us. There were several employees that saw us just standing there, but we still waited there for 5 mins before someone told the girl from outside to take us to our table. We were finally seated. Then guy who told the girl to seat us was just standing around d chit chatting with another employees for about 15 minutes before he even came to our table. He never even introduce himself. He just took our order. Another 20 mins came by before our food was served. OUR FOOD WAS ROOM TEMPERATURE. Short Rib was ok. The macaroni was stale and OLD! It was dry and not fresh! We asked for extra BBQ sauce and that didn't arrive for another 15 mins. We had to wave down another employee to try to get the sauce to us. I wouldn't recommend this place! Horrible service. Didn't even come around to see if we needed anything or if everything was good or not. We came here around 1:30pm on 3/16. The restroom was also out of paper towels and soap from the soda dispenser. Poor quality food! Glad I tried it, so I know to not come back again!

So, relatives came to town specifically asking for ribs and brisket so I rolled over there. There were about six people waiting and I saw it was cash only, so I decided to be efficient rather than perturbed. I went to the ATM, came back and placed and paid for my small tray, ran an errand for my upcoming guests and came back. Perfect timing - when I got back my order was hot and steamy. As were those hot links! Whew! Everything was succulent, except that I found the chicken to be a touch dry. And for a tray for 6-8 people, how about containers of potato salad and beans? Those were about 2 cups each. You know y'all just got those sides in bulk at Costco. Anyways the sauce had the complexity of a family recipe covering the smoked meats to perfection. More than enough meat! That young girl who served me was a sweetheart. Keep doing you, Woody's. Never change.

Our favorites are the chicken sausage, beef ribs, sliced beef, and corn on the cob. I always get the medium-hot sauce on the side--the food is good! I'm giving them four stars because they only accept cash and don't take phone orders. During the holidays, you have to wait outside in a very long line, and I'm not a fan of that process. One more thing: Be careful when parking in front because cars fly down Slauson! If you stop by, tell them Christine the Realtor sent you!

The brisket and pork belly burnt ends were both 10/10, and the sausage was a solid 9/10. The mac and cheese was to die for, and the potato salad and coleslaw were delicious. We also had hazy IPAs, which were 10/10! 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!
