Gangnam Station Korean BBQ

Affordable and delish AYCE KBBQ in Ktown! In today's economy I'm pretty impressed with their price point. The quality of the meats here is definitely one of the best that l've tried in LA that's in an AYCE setting! I really liked how fresh the meats here even the ones in the buffet section, none were frozen. Their wagyu beef belly will always be my fave. I highly recommend this spot if you want to experience authentic Korean bbq!

Gangnam Station is my favorite place to go for Korean BBQ. I don't drive, so I take the train, and being able to take the Blue Line to the 7th/Metro Station and then the Purple Line to Wilshire/Western, which is a 5-minute walk upstairs, is very convenient for me. What I like most about this restaurant is that the staff are always friendly and attentive; the food is always outstanding; and the temperature is always perfect, even now, when I'm wearing shorts. The only change I wish they would make, if they haven't already, is to put a diaper changing station in the men's room. My favorite item on the menu is the Prime Montreal Top Sirloin Steak. It has the perfect amount of pepper in its marinade, which makes it incredibly tasty. I also like the Premium Beef Brisket and the pork belly. I am including a picture of the steak I absolutely love. Because my review is more formal-sounding than I normally write, I have included my hand in the picture to prove that I am not an AI.

Had a really good experience here! The food was flavorful and cooked perfectly — especially the marinated meats that were juicy and tender. The staff was friendly and made sure everything was running smoothly at our table. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, great for dinner with friends. Definitely one of the better Korean BBQ spots around.

Gangnam Station is a great choice if you’re craving AYCE Korean BBQ in Koreatown. The experience is super easy and enjoyable, especially with their self-serve meat bar, which is always stocked and makes grabbing what you want really convenient. The meats were fresh and well-marinated — Everything cooked up tender and flavorful. The restaurant has that fun, lively KBBQ atmosphere with lots of energy, and the staff does a great job even when it’s busy. They were quick with grill changes, refills, and checking in, which made the whole meal go really smoothly. The space is clean and organized, and it’s a perfect spot for group dinners or late-night food since they stay open until 2 AM. For the price, the variety and quality make it absolutely worth it. You definitely leave full and satisfied. Overall, a really solid spot for Korean BBQ in K-town and a place I’d come back to again. Highly recommend! 🔥🥩

Love this place! First of all, there is a garage parking and the restaurant do validate parking for exactly 2 hours. After 2 hours is up, you pay. Second, get yourself on the waiting list asap as people keep coming. We waited about half hour for 2 people (not as accurate as the Yelp app would say but not complaining.) As soon as we got our table, it was just excitement and happiness taking over. Loved the fact that they have kimchi and cucumber kimchi out and ready in the buffet area and you can just go grab whenever. They have some sauces to go with the meat too. The buffet has great meat selection from beef, pork, and chicken. They were busy but the staff always make sure they come check and have the grill changed. All in all, amazing experience. Will definitely come back!
