Park's BBQ

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.

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.

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.

Authentic Korean BBQ! 🇰🇷🇰🇷 You can't miss this one. There are a lot of delicious free sides. Beef is very good. But service is amazing!! I really enjoy to spend my eating time here. I will definitely come again if I have a chance. Really impressed. 😊

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.

I would have given 5 stars based on previous visits but this last time I felt like we were rushed a lot. Banchan came after the server started cooking the meat and he rushed putting different type of meat back to back and wouldn’t even let us finish one before starting the other one. We ordered P1 which is 5 different type of meats and they were all cooked in less than 20 minutes. We also ordered the soft tofu soup which is usually amazing but today it was cold.

The staff were simply brilliant! We received wonderful service, enjoyed a delicious meal, and were extremely satisfied. They even allowed us to bring in our own celebration cake and provided us with plates, a knife, and forks. Simply superb.

Best Korean BBQ hands down. I always go there favorite spot for Korean BBQ however the service is horrible basically if you are not Korean you don't matter. The staff is rude, none responsive, and they ignore you or give you attitude if you ask for utensils or anything else. The only attention you get is from the boss boys and the Valet parking attendants who really deserve the tips. Such a shame wish management would do something about it but I keep going back and no improvement. The atmosphere is ok but they would benefit from some relaxing music. Besides the bad service it's a great spot and the meat quality is the best .
