In Short – Sharply dressed patrons cook their heavily marinated dishes on sizzling grills at this contemporary Koreatown restaurant. The garden area's open walls give it an airy, outdoor feel with the added comfort of a roof cover. Inside, the simple and stylish industrial decor creates a more sterile feeling conducive to cooking. Classic dishes such as the short rib cubes and soy sauce-marinated beef bulgogi are all accompanied by a host of side dishes.

Unacceptably racist staff
by DanHalen
I visited with a friend of mine and his wife, who is Chinese. Service was okay until the waitstaff found out, at which point we went up to half an hour with no service. I don't care how fancy your restaurant is, that kind of conduct is unacceptable. Do not support this racist establishment.

Kae Jang: Simply the best!
by shirleymontgomery19
The restaurant's Kae Jang is the best I've ever tasted. As an avid fan of all things spicy, the raw crab is to die for an amazing.

Overrated
by jamesmb
The place is clean on the inside, but that's it. The food is mediocre and service is OK. But the price for all of this? Not worth it, there are many other places in Los Angeles that are better.

The worst Koren BBQ and service
by CC819
If anyone wants to experience RACISM, this is the place that you have to visit!!!! The waitress put all the meat in and started to grill in 10 minutes everything was done. You will have to finish by then because there are many more customers waiting outside and they want more money come in. The waitress will keep checking if you are ready to leave and made us very very uncomfortable. No respect for customer. You will regret if you visit this restaurant and very expensive especially a lousy service like this! They will start to clean the table and you know they want you to leave! Very very impolite! Never experienced anything like this!

Great Korean food and attentive service -- definitely try it out!
by freebie_grabber
You'll first see a well-lit, pristine, modern building with attractive landscaping and a valet parking service. No grafitti, trash or shopping carts here! Once you enter, you're greeted by several well-groomed staff members in suits and hanbok (Korean kimonos) -- you might even think you're in a hotel lobby. You're guided to your table and handed your menus -- try not to get overwhelmed with choices. I had the Yookgaejang ("spicy beef and scallion soup") ; my friend had the Galbee Dolsot Bibimbab ("sizzling rice hotpot with prime ribs and vegetables".) We were also given a variety of complimentary appetizers, ranging from pickled sprouts and kimchi to potato salad. Here's a quirk: they didn't have any authentic Korean beer on their menu, but they served me Kirin (Japanese) in a Hite (Korean) beer glass! A staff member stopped by our table every few minutes -- their service was incredibly attentive and polite. We were also given a complimentary cup of sujunggwa (a sweet drink made with persimmon, pine nuts, cinnamon, and ginger) for dessert. Given this great experience, I'll definitely come back again!
- Pros: Great food, attentive service, clean and spacious building.
- Cons: Free street parking is hard to find.
