Love this late night kbbq spot, the only one in the valley under $50. The meat is great, balanced lean meat, perfect if you're trying to bulk. Lol so plain but flavorful. Ask for onions, jalapeños, and garlic! The service is awesome, I think it's always been the same 3 people and then other people who are friendly and efficient. My husband and I come here often to get our kbbq fix without spending a lot and not losing the quality of the experience. It's perfect for a late night kbbq craving, they're open til 1. Can get pretty busy but lately the latest we've had to wait is 20 minutes! read more

This isn't my usual Korean barbecue spot. I normally stick to a location I trust, but a friend suggested I try this one. Honestly, I didn't care for it at all. I came for the all-you-can-eat buffet, but the moment I walked in I was hit with extreme heat. With so many tabletop grills running, small restaurants like this heat up fast--but the problem here was that there was no real A/C. Just two blowers pointed toward the door, and one of them was blowing hot air directly onto me and my food. It wasn't cooling anything down. The whole place felt rundown. The meat cuts were terrible, the selection was limited, and nothing about the buffet felt worth the price. The servers were okay, but there wasn't much they could do to make up for the overall experience. Usually, when I go to a buffet, I want to sit, relax, and eat until I'm stuffed or the time runs out. Here, I just wanted to finish quickly and leave. It wasn't enjoyable, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Wangdoyaji - Beef (a) - Korean Near Me - Reseda, California

If you're looking for affordable, flavorful Korean BBQ with top-notch service, Wangdoyaji is the spot! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly and made sure our table was taken care of the entire night. The servers were attentive, quick to refill side dishes, and happily explained the menu. The meat quality was excellent--fresh, tender, and seasoned just right. I really love the brisket and pork belly; every bite was packed with flavor. I also love the shoestring cut onions and jalapeños provided automatically. Our server was generous and constantly replenishing our orders, making the meal feel like a true feast. The atmosphere is comfortable, perfect for family dinners, casual hangouts, or celebrating with friends. For the price, quality, and service, Wangdoyaji is honestly one of the best KBBQ places around. Highly recommend if you want great taste and value all in one place! read more

Wangdoyaji - Korean Near Me - Reseda, California

This was my first time eating here. When we walked in, no one greeted us, and we were left standing there trying to figure out whether it was self-seating or if we needed to wait to be seated. There weren't any signs to guide us, which made the start of the experience a little awkward. After we sat down, they brought out a meat dish with sides right away (a seasoned salad with jalapeños and onions). The sides were flavorful and enjoyable, but the meat itself wasn't seasoned -- it tasted very plain. It wasn't bad, just a bit boring compared to the sides. I personally would have preferred more seasoning. The biggest concern was the grills. Several of them were noticeably slanted, causing oil from the meat to spill out. That feels like a safety hazard and something that should definitely be fixed. Another downside was that tables didn't seem to get cleaned until new customers were waiting, and the payment process was confusing. It's not like a typical restaurant where a server brings the check -- we had to figure out on our own where to go to pay. Overall, once we were seated, the staff did check in and were attentive. With better organization, clearer signage, and some safety improvements, the experience could be much better. read more

Wangdoyaji - Korean Near Me - Reseda, California

Came here expecting a traditional Korean BBQ experience and left completely disappointed. Right off the bat, I asked for banchan and was told they only had kimchi, sliced onions, and jalapeños... that's honestly ridiculous for the price they're charging. The meat? Bland, tasted like it was straight-up frozen, and had zero flavor. On top of that, the oil was splashing everywhere while cooking, making the whole experience uncomfortable and messy. If you're looking for a legit KBBQ spot, this is NOT it. Overpriced, underwhelming, and nowhere near authentic. If you want a shitty experience, come here. read more

Ambiance today seemed steady busy as I waited to be seated. Once the staff cleaned and got my table ready, I was seated. I like basic and I usually come for brisket and salad, no rice, and my Sapporo. The staff was a bit busier today, it had to take me a few times to flag them down. They even forgot to offer me or even bring me a cup of water, but its ok, the beer did it. The salad is what keeps me coming back here, no other k-bbq spot makes their salad like here! overall, I like coming here because staff already knows me and I get what I pay for. read more

This used to be my favorite Korean bbq spot for years. Yesterday since I was in the area with my gf we decided to go and we arrived at 11:30pm (They close at 1am) and the moment we went inside we were ignored then a worker came and told us that we only had 20 minutes to dine in , meaning it would be 10 minutes til 12am , but they close at 1am ? I dont recommend this place at all. The service sucks the worker with the hat on the side is rude as well . Save your time and money and go to another Korean bbq read more

Service was great and lot of people there early in-line. Tells me it's great food! Parking is not great since Denny's is also packed.

Te hacen cobros de más no es la primera vez que me pasa y cuando reclamas el personal se molesta tengan cuidado revisen su ticket

Honestly, the only reason why I can see this business staying open is because of how cheap the prices are and how late they stay open. With minimal options you can get all you can eat for $22.99 or $26.99, I mean you can't really go wrong with cheap eats and for a lot of food. But the quality of the food and the cuts of the meat, to me are definitely subpar. I mean I guess it is local, to the San Fernando valley and don't need to drive far. The service was honestly not the best either. I honestly don't like the fact that they don't tell you that one of their sauces is a peanut sauce and they don't care about cross contamination especially with people who have severe allergies to nuts. The ambiance of the place gives off a hole in the wall and nothing too crazy about it. Overall, people go here because it's a cheap all you can eat restaurant. I highly don't recommend going here if you have a nut allergy read more

Ive been coming here for the past few years and this remains my favorite kbbq spot. I usually come at opening time and never have to worry about waiting for a seat. They start you off with brisket, a salad, a sauce, and onions and jalapeños, all which taste amazing! I also ask for salt and pepper, rice, and shoulder. The price is reasonable and food is great. Only downside is in the summer it can get pretty hot inside and parking lot is a bit small. read more

This is my go to kbbq place. Forget all the other ones with the extra and fancy things like premium menus that cost an arm and a leg. They have the main meats most people care about like brisket and bulgogi which is all you need in my opinion. The owner is amazing him and his staff always take care of me and my family and they always remember us which really makes a difference in the dining experience. The main thing that keeps me coming back here is their brisket sauce!! If i could drink it by the gallon i would read more

This is my fifth and final visit, and it was the worst. Throughout the entire process, no one came to greet us. They just stood motionless in front of the cash register. We had to raise our hands to get water or order more food. We understand that service might be slow when they're busy, but we were the only table there. Previously, there was no mandatory service charge, but now they're forcing an 18% tip. I'm willing to pay, but they didn't provide the service expected of a waiter. Then, when it came time to pay, they overcharged us by $20, and there was another option to add a tip. I don't understand this at all. The waiter didn't even mention that the tip was already included before we ordered. Anyone planning to eat here should be very careful. The service used to be excellent. read more

My boyfriend and I paid the same price we would have paid for a place that had a bigger selection of meats and various sides. The meat tasted like nothing and the only sides we got were salad and rice. I assumed the rice would be included in the "all you can eat" dinner price but it wasn't. There was no air conditioning and lastly the water tasted like sink water. read more

Adolfo was super cool and top tier A ++++ customer service. This was our first time doing Korean BBQ and he walked us through it and made us feel so welcomed. The food was delicious!! I totally recommend. read more

Don't come at 11pm-1am they are already getting ready to close and will give minimal service to customers who come around that time. I came around 11:30pm not too busy and the waiters kept ignoring me when I asked for more, mind you I only had a couple plates of brisket by 12 and they refused to give me more because they were closing. THEY CLOSE AT 1 AM!!!!! I definitely didn't feel like I didn't get an all you can eat bbq at an all you can eat bbq!!!! read more

Dude, this was straight-up the strangest KBBQ establishment I've ever visited. First, before they even bring you a menu, the staff will deliver a massive plate of beef brisket to your table. Not knowing this, I initially thought the plate was misdelivered to our table and intended for a different table (until one of the staff members explained that they start EVERY table off with a plate of brisket). The next thing that surprised me - no banchan! No fish cake, no rice paper, no kimchi, no cucumbers, no potato salad, no seaweed, no bean sprouts, no jeon, no fish, no japchae. Instead, each diner gets an extremely large bowl of salad (which honestly wasn't bad) and a (thankfully) large dish of dipping sauce. Each table also gets a plate of sliced white onions and jalapenos. That's it - oddly, rice will incur extra charges (an extremely strange business decision, since getting people to fill up with rice *has to* be cheaper for the restaurant than filling them up with meat). Given that the demographics of the clientele present during my visit were decidedly non-Asian, something tells me that is why the banchan was non-existent. The lower-tier AYCE fee is currently $17.99/person (the upper-tier AYCE fee is $19.99/person). This compares very favorably with other KBBQ AYCE eateries I have been to, all of which have charged $20-30/person (or more) for their bottom tier (or just in general, in the cases of the restaurants with tierless-menus). Their menu has the least amount of variety of any KBBQ eatery I have visited - if I recall correctly, you only have about a half-dozen meat options available - and I think they were all beef or pork - no baby octopus, shrimp, etc. If you are craving chicken or seafood, this is probably not the place for you. They *really* could have done a better job of pre-greasing/oiling the metal grilling plate - our meat was sticking onto the plate a lot more than it should have (compared to my experiences at other KBBQ eateries). The service was pretty good overall (in fact, I will say it's probably better than most KBBQ places I have been to), and I have no complaints about it. The menu appeared to have specified a penalty fee for any leftover meat. However, the staff here seems to apply common sense about it - my dining companion and I only had the "complimentary" (or perhaps "introductory" is a more appropriate adjective) plate of Beef Brisket and an order of Pork Belly. Given how massive said plate of brisket was, we were unable to finish it, and I asked a staff member for a to-go box for the brisket (so it would not go to waste). He seemed to have to think about it for a few seconds, but he brought me a box for it, and the receipt confirmed that we were not charged a "leftover meat" fee (given that the two of were only served 2 plates of meat total, I hardly think said fee would have been justified). The restaurant is currently offering both indoor dining and ad-hoc outdoor patio dining as well. If you can, I recommend trying to get a table inside, as the bootleg tables outside are very wonky and unstable, which I found to not be such a great thing on its own, and much worse with a gas grill placed on top. I will close out this review with the following observation: if you plan to eat around here a little before midnight and mostly just want to fill yourself up with AYCE beef and pork for less than $20/person, this is honestly not a bad spot given the lack of KBBQ alternatives open late in the area (that I was able to observe, at least). read more

Wangdoyaji - Every table gets started off with a heaping pile of brisket, salad, jalapenos, onions, and dipping sauce. - Korean Near Me - Reseda, California

This place use to be $9.99 for ayce. I get it times has changed but at least have more of a selection if you're going to charge more. I don't like that you're paying $20 + and that doesn't come with rice or any of the stews or egg. I'm sorry I think it will be my last time coming here. For the price I would suggest going somewhere else with more variety. The selection is very basic and bland. The meat has more fat than actual meat. Only one server was good. I think he was the only asian one. The other servers were pretty rude & terrible. read more

Wangdoyaji - Updated price not 12.99 anymore - Korean Near Me - Reseda, California

Used to be a go to spot for me and my friends, was a cheaper lowkey kbbq spot. Lately I've been going and noticed the rise of people which is good but also seems as service is going down. There's a specific dude who always looks hammered, always has some sort of attitude. I used to go maybe once a month, and everyone was pretty attentive till these last few visits. Lately they would bring you a round then disappear til you flag someone down, -even not during a rush time. The prices have risen which is understandable but at times I feel like that specific server is trying to upcharge for any little thing I wouldn't really care but apparently he's the only one charging people. Like I said it's a cool little hole in the wall spot but watch out for dude. Meats are good but also not as many options like Ayce or gen which made it understandable that it was on the cheaper side. Probably best to not go back for a while till the hype dies down or dude leaves. Side note they tax the hell out of you. read more

Best Korean Bbq around! My only issue with this place is they are getting expensive for what you get, used to be $13 when I first started coming here 10 years ago, now $25, with no rice or drink... a lot less customers now, so you dont have to wait anymore is tge side effect..Price should be $20 for what you get... or at least thow in some rice and a soda for $25... read more

Really friendly and fast service! Meets were delicious and the salad that comes when you order is so good. Would come back for sure

Had a party of 6 and they only let us change our grill twice before refusing to give us a clean grill to cook with. If you like cooking on a burnt stove, definitely come here read more

We got there @12am, the worker kicked us out, saying they are closing up already. Why advertise open till 1am if you aren't going to stay open. Lame, false advertising and a waste of time. read more

The few times I have been brought here, it's been late at night after the rush for dinner. We get served almost instantly. And the wait staff is very quick to bring everything you order and need out. Then cook for yourself It's reasonably priced. And I love their little piggy mascot painted on the wall. It cute haha. But it's quite comfortable here. Always welcome another trip here read more

Look, you need to stop in here, knowing it's a no frills basic place. No fancy decor or crazy menu items, just a solid place to bbq some meats! One of my top KBBQ spots when I am hankering for 10pm KBBQ and am working with a budget. The perfect combination of good eats at a good price. FOOD: Normally you would be paying $40+ for AYCE, here offers a $20 AYCE, no frills, straight forward experience. Nothing fancy, you won't find any of the different meats like octopus, lengua or shrimp. The menu is Brisket, Marinated Beef (Bulgogi), Clout, Pork Cushion & Spicy Pork. Comes with jalapeños and onions to throw on the grill. Their salad is the best! So delicious and fresh. Also they have a delicious lemon soju. They don't offer any of the traditional Kbbq sides like kimchi, but rice is provided. PARKING: Parking is a plenty, being in a decent size Plaza. The wait can be a bit when going during peak hours. Anytime after 10pm there is no wait. The best part....THEY ARE OPEN TILL 12AM! So when those meat cravings hit at midnight, it's a go to spot. SEATING: They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which I love being able to BBQ outside. SERVICE: Friendly attentive staff, and you leave feeling full in your tummy and your wallet. It's a basic spot, very understated but gives you great food for an even better price! Can't go wrong with that. read more

If your from the SFV and you're tired of waiting at GEN for 2+hrs for a table and you're looking for a fast and simple kbbq spot this is the place for you. I've been here twice and both times I was blown away by the service. It's not in a good part of town and the name on Google maps isn't even English but if you go here you'll leave satisfied. Important thing to know is they ONLY have pork belly, bulgogi and brisket. They lack certain sides like rice paper and appetizers that you would find at other kbbq places. Their salad is a sesame vinegar base salad that addicting. They have soybean paste that pairs perfectly with the brisket and on top of that their service is unmatched. Anything you need at anytime there's always some around to service you. read more

Omgggg there is no works to xplain how dirty DISGUSTING is their restrooms, you have more than 10 people working for you, how can any of them can clean it, There is everywhere, looks worse than homeless living's Someone relay wiring need to call state health department Maybe I will, Just have some one clean it Tha food is good But can't imaging how the kitchen must be look read more

There is no air. Horrible. Hope they fix it or its not good to come here. . Its impossible. It is health hazard with this heat.

BEWARE: THE ACTUAL WORST KBBQ place I've ever been to. I've been to places in ktown with cheaper price and better selection and taste. The restaurant was dirty and they had random kitchen stuff in the middle of the restaurant. They had 1 side which was salad Overall, a horrendous horrendous experience!! Please don't come here. There are better surrounding places if you're looking quality. Also side note, I'm not sure how realistic the other reviews are because they claim this place is REALLY good but there was no hint of anything being good at all. read more

Still loving this place! Love it! Love it! Love it! Now that you can dine inside it's much easier to catch a table. (Of course depending on time) But I normally never wait too long and I love that they check on us and I don't have to keep flagging the waiter down for assistance. (Like other KNBQ places) This is definitely one of our usual dinner spots! read more

I can't get enough of this place. I frequent this spot once every five weeks or so. What I love more than the food is the environment and the boys! I call them the boys but they are the ones really running this joint. Always smiling, always welcoming and it's always nice to chat it up with them. Super affordable and family friendly. read more

Been here a FEW times before COVID-19 and came for the first time during COVID-19. This is the place for when you're craving KBBQ and you are not willing to wait for long lines at other KBBQ places. The quality of the meat isn't the best, but is good enough to eat. The brisket is a hit or miss: it can be really good and can be really dry. During my experience eating dine-out, it was really dry. Plus, the menu selection is very small. The price is fairly cheap! I think it was about $18 per person (without tip). We got seated in an area with very little light (the lightbulb was broken), so the photo quality is bad. In general, from past experience and dining out, their service has always been so-so. But I am assuming that during my dine-out experience, it was much slower because they only had 3 people out in the front. Overall, this isn't my go to place but it's still okay to eat if I'm really craving and don't want to wait for other KBBQ places. read more
