From the moment we sat down, we were treated so kindly and efficiently! The food was delicious and they took their time to also help us cook while we finished the rest of our plates. The entire staff was helpful and accommodating. Shout out to the staff who helped us use chopsticks the best way

Truly love this kbbq place!!! Consistent good food quality and customer service--- actually it just keeps getting better and better!!! Plus a variety of banchan (appetizers!) In terms of overall experience, it is great from: fresh, quality meat to value for money (they offer different menu options from A-D or even E). The ambiance is very friendly, homy, and welcoming. The surroundings include picture of their customers dining or celebrating special occasions and some KPop posters. In terms of service, the waiters/waitresses are attentive and quick in refilling orders or banchan. We also appreciate their assistance in grilling. Customer service is good: friendly, warm, and courteous! The owner, Yorran, is friendly and welcoming. Yorran really takes time to greet and welcome Wi's customers warmly. Try this great KBBQ place! The likelihood of being a repeat customer is high! Our family loves this place!

High meat quality AYCE Korean BBQ spot in Ktown! I visited this spot with some co-workers for lunch on a Monday and it was almost empty, but the atmosphere was still great. The interior felt fun and I liked the pop culture decor. I also like how they take a Polaroid picture of your party if you dine in on your birthday. My group ordered the C set for lunch and it was great since we could order anything from the menu that we wanted. Starting with the banchan, everything was solid. From the creamy potato salad to the crunchy radishes, everything complimented the meat dishes well. For meats, we got pork belly, beef bulgolgi, the tomahawk steak, Wagyu beef belly, spicy octopus, intestines etc. Everything was tasty and the meat quality was very good. I especially loved the tomahawk steak which was juicy and tender. The other side dishes were great as well such as the soup and salad. I really liked the corn cheese which was super cheesy. For price with service charge for lunch, it was about $60 per person. The service here was good and our servers were nice and attentive. For parking, there's a free lot outside that can get full and is a bit tight. Overall, I had a great experience here! I would definitely come back and might want to have my birthday here!

I can see why this place is popular (lots of tiered options, reasonably priced, good service), but I didn't find it great. I tend to go to AYCE kbbq spots so I'm familiar that the quality is never anything to write home about. However, I found most of the meats dry. We got the second tier and ordered the following: Brisket: DRY!!! My husband usually eats so much brisket but he didn't even want to finish the one portion we had. Pork belly: We got both the thick and thin cuts and it was good! Rib finger: This is usually my favorite cut, but the marinated one was so salty. The meat itself was good though. Overall, the service and ambiance was great, but I wouldn't go back. Loved that there was a parking lot though!

I liked this little place. It was definitely worth the price. I came with some friends and got the All You Can Eat, combo A. I really enjoyed the beef bulgogi, spicy chicken, and pork steak, as they were very flavorful and pre marinated. The service was good. Our hot plate got changed and switched out every time it was necessary, without us even having to ask. I came on a Tuesday afternoon, and it was plenty of space, wasn't crowded at all, and we were seated fairly quick. There is a parking lot with free parking available.

We arrived on a Saturday night around 7:45 PM with a party of seven. There was a short wait, but we were seated quickly. Our host, Dani, was incredible! She walked us through the different cuts of premium meats and gave great recommendations. Every single dish that came out was phenomenal! On behalf of our group, I can confidently say this is one of the best AYCE spots around. Great food. Great service. Great times! Huge thanks to Dani and the entire Wi KBBQ team!

Banchan

Located in a plaza, there is some parking, but we ended up parking in the side street. Upon entering, it was somewhat busy but we were seated right away. We opted for lunch menu set B. We only ended up ordering 3 different meats because we got full off the portions and banchans and sides. All the meats were good quality. Brisket was nice and marbled. Loved the corn cheese and egg soufflé. My favorite banchans were the pickled onion and thinly cut daikon. It does get pretty loud as you are seated pretty closely to other parties. Overall a solid place for AYCE KBBQ.

Tomahawk steak

Fell in love with this place! They had everything we wanted so many meats we got menu C during lunch. Server was so attentive and kind, everyone was doing their best to make our experience so great. We will definitely come back with a bigger group so we can try all that they have. Loved all the details they had to their decorations and their plates they served.

Wi KBBQ was surprisingly a really good kbbq place. One of the first I've tried in ktown but the food and service was top notch. I think tbh most kbbq meat tastes the same but they do make thier meat taste really good [B special - $37.99/person]. Parking was OK, there was a lot outside that always seems full but its free (i think haha). What differentiates Wi with other spots I feel is the AMAZING service they provided for our group of 8. We reserved for my friends bday and the entire experience was very fun. From them consistently cleaning up our tables / changing grills, offering things when we need, it was clear that they care about our experience. For the bday, they came out with a crazy setup, dimmed the lights, and sang happy bday with the entire restaurant. They then gifted him a mug. They also gave us a polaroid picture which was very cute and now our faces are on the walls!

Love this place!!!

If we are coming in for a party of 7 or more, and get the unli meat and drinks, would it possible for us to pay separately?

We accept 3 credit cards per group, so It is possible to pay separately but not individually

If we choose to do the all you can drink option, does everyone at the table have to do it? My BF is sober but a few of us would still like to get the AYC drink option.

At least most people have to get the All you can drink! But if that person is the designated driver, he is not required to do so

Is it possible that we could use the refrigerator to store a birthday cake while having dinner?

Of course! It would be our pleasure to have you guys celebrate your birthday here! We can store your cake in the refrigerator! Don't worry! ^^

How is parking in the location? Is it fairly busy week nights, self parking/valet only, is street parking available?

Wi do have parking at the location. The restaurant is located inside a plaza, there is a fairly good amount of parking spots but they are taken fairly fast during weekends. During weekdays most of the time they are available, also I think there is… Read more

Is she doesn't eat anything(including our side dishes, meat or rice) then she won't be charged for it

Reservations for large parties?

It is possible but we accept for parties of 7 people or more, also It depends on the time frame since another party could have made the reservation at that time

This is definitely one of the best BBQ spots in LA. I'm torn between this and Moo's...not sure who…read moregets the crown. Probably 1a and 1b. That aside, onto the review... Bludso's brisket is tender and marinated just right. While some briskets are too salty, Bludso's maintains a light and balanced flavor profile, which lets me enjoy the flavor of the beef. However, be warned that some leaner cuts might be a tad bit dry. The pork ribs were also great. although they weren't "fall off the bone" soft, it's still one of the best ones I've had in LA. The sides were also good. They weren't mind blowing but they were definitely comforting. Overall, Bludso's is a great BBQ spot that I would come to again and again. Definitely one of the best in LA. Note: I do have to say that if you're from Texas, you might not be "wow'd". Franklin BBQ in Austin is leagues above both Bludso's and Moo's (first time in my life having brisket melt in my mouth!!). But if you've never left LA, Bludso's will probably be the some of the best BBQ you've had in your life!

Bludso's BBQ has become one of my more reliable go-to spots for BBQ in Los Angeles. While portions…read morehave gradually gotten smaller as prices continue to rise, I want to focus mainly on the food quality itself. And overall, Bludso's is still a solid BBQ joint that I'll continue coming back to. Brisket - 4.5/5, Lean Brisket - 3.5/5. The standout here is definitely the beef brisket. They offer two versions: regular brisket and lean brisket. The regular brisket is well-smoked, with tender, moist meat that pulls apart nicely. The dry rub has a great balance of seasoning and flavor without overpowering the beef. My only complaint is that the brisket can be a little fattier than I'd prefer. On the other hand, the lean brisket swings too far in the opposite direction; it has too much lean meat. It loses too much moisture and ends up noticeably dry. Honestly, I wish they offered something right in between the two cuts because the flavor itself is excellent. Even so, the brisket remains the reason I keep returning. Pork Ribs - 3.5/5. The pork ribs are good, though not particularly memorable compared to some of the better BBQ spots around. The flavor is there, but the ribs were slightly dry and lacked the tenderness I was hoping for. The taste and texture just didn't fully come together for me. BBQ Chicken - 2.5/5. The BBQ chicken was probably the weakest meat option I tried. The chicken was properly smoked, but the smokiness completely dominated everything else. I couldn't really pick up much seasoning or flavor beyond the smoke, which made it feel one-dimensional and less interesting overall. As for the sides, the cornbread and baked beans were both above average. The cornbread had a good texture and flavor, while the baked beans had a nice depth and complexity that complemented the BBQ well. The mac and cheese, however, was a letdown for me since it tasted a bit dry. Overall, Bludso's BBQ is still a dependable place for BBQ in LA, especially if you're craving brisket. It may not be perfect across the board. Still, the quality of the smoked meats - particularly the brisket - keeps it firmly in my regular rotation.

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.

Poor quality food! Glad I tried it, so I know to not come back again!

In all my visits, I've never once seen her or the staff handle anything with anything less than professionalism and kindness. As a patron, one of the main reasons I keep coming back to Maple Block is because of the people. The staff creates such a welcoming, positive atmosphere, which really stands out--especially in an area where you can occasionally encounter challenging situations.

I saw a few YouTubers eating food from moo's Craft so knew I had to have it on my list of places to try when visiting socal. My group and I decided to stop here for our lunch before going to universal studios since it was along the way. Parking is pretty confusing for us. They state there's a lot behind the building to park at, but it looks liked you have to pay and we weren't sure which lot. So we just did street parking. We did go around 1:30 pm on a Thursday, so did not have much of an issue with finding street parking. Inside the restaurant, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. There's no wait staff, so you go to the counter and order and once it's ready, they call your name/number and you pick up your tray of food from the counter. We ordered the El trio platter, which comes with 1 lbs of brisket, 1 lbs of pork ribs, 2 sausages (chili relleno and cheddar jalapeno) and 2 sides (which we chose Mac and cheese and red potato salad). We also saw the burgers from YouTube so got 2 of the Thicc burgers to share among everyone. We got a sides of the Texas chili to try. Everything was great. Our group really enjoyed the food and everyone said the BBQ was some of the best they've had. The brisket was really tender and seasoned well. Everything was seasoned well actually. The burger was great. It was soft, great flavor and was just really solid. One of the best burgers I've had. The ribs were everyone's least favorite, but that just means the other food tasted better. Ribs were still good. All the sides were delicious as well. The Texas chili was great, the Mac and cheese was creamy and the potato salad tasted homemade. We could tell it was made in house. The sweet iced tea was refreshing, not overly sweet b Overall, I'll have to come back here to try their desserts and other items. I'll for sure be getting the burger and brisket again.
