Park's BBQ

Well deserving of its Michelin Guide recognition. Both pork and beef were high quality, beautifully marbled and cooked to perfection. The flavors were clean, rich, and exactly what great Korean BBQ should be — excellent food all around. Service was really good as well: attentive, professional, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. A must-visit Korean BBQ spot in LA. Would definitely come back next time I’m in town.

Park's BBQ delivers an outstanding Korean barbecue experience with exceptional food, attentive service, and a lively atmosphere. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, professional, and always ready to assist. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and every dish was prepared with great attention to detail. The flavors were rich, authentic, and consistently impressive throughout the meal. The restaurant was clean, well organized, and comfortable, creating a great environment for both small gatherings and larger groups. I especially appreciated the efficiency of the service and the overall hospitality. Park's BBQ is a place that truly stands out for its quality and consistency, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent Korean dining experience.

Visited Parks BBQ — had high expectations since it’s Michelin-recommended. The meat quality is good, but some pieces were overcooked as the grill wasn’t really managed toward the end. Service was okay, but for the price, I expected more. Overall solid, but a bit overpriced for the experience.

For years we’ve dined at countless Korean BBQ restaurants across Los Angeles, and for some unknown reason, we somehow managed to skip Park’s BBQ — until now. Maybe it took a special occasion like my brother’s 60th birthday to finally make it happen, and now I’m kicking myself for not taking him here on his 50th! My wife and I aren’t experts in Korean cuisine, but after many years of dining — including some incredible meals in South Korea — we’re definitely more than casual fans. In our opinion, Park’s just edged out our long-time favorite, Genwa, as the best Korean BBQ in LA. What sets Park’s apart is the slightly elevated quality of both the meat and the vegetables. And if the measure of great food is how long it lingers in your mind after the meal, Park’s wins by a mile. The tofu soup had a deep, distinctive flavor with a stronger tofu presence. The steamed egg was thick, silky, and almost tofu-like in texture. Every cut of meat was tender with no aftertaste, and the banchan was flavorful yet surprisingly less salty — I didn’t experience the usual thirst that follows most KBBQ meals. Reservations? Absolutely essential. Don’t even think about walking in — at 5 p.m. the place was already full. We’re already planning our return visit, debating what to try next time. But one thing’s for sure: I’m ordering the grilled veggies wrapped in shiso leaf and pickled radish, topped with spicy kimchi — the perfect vegan bite in a meat lover’s paradise.

This restaurant is best known for its meat dishes, but I came by during lunch to try their lunch combo and burger specials. Normally, when we come here for barbecue, it’s a serious commitment. The last time five of us ate here and really went all out on the meat, the bill was close to $1,000. This time, though, my friend and I stopped by for a lighter lunch. The cold noodles were delicious, and the meat was excellent as always. We also ordered dessert afterward. It was really good, but the price definitely made me do a double take—and it disappeared in just a few bites! The restaurant was packed, so it was quite noisy throughout the meal. Still, I can’t complain too much because the food was genuinely satisfying. Overall, despite the crowds and the premium prices, we had a very enjoyable meal and left in a good mood.
