Eight Korean Bbq

There wasn’t a wait on a Friday night for our group. The server was great despite our large group. He was quick, to take orders and cooking at our two grills. However the meat quality was disappointing and the meat tasted frozen and lacked flavor slightly better than the meat quality at Gen. It definitely looks good but unfortunately the meat flavor wasn’t there. The chairs were stools with no backing which was not comfortable. Completely okay for the authentic experience but wished the meat quality was better as I had high hopes for this place.

This place feels just like the Korean BBQ spots in Seoul! The banchan and meat are premium, and the added soup with the combos make it a perfect meal. The prices are great considering the meat quality, and they even have an all you can drink for super cheap. Additionally, the servers are very helpful! Will definitely be coming back!

I really enjoy this place. Been coming here for 10 years, even when I lived in Westwood and even Orange County. If your new to Korean BBQ, talk to your server. Ask questions and they engage. They really hired good folks here and I've learned alot. I grew up in Koreatown, and this is likely one of the great original standing KBBQ joints. Huge free parking lot, right across the street from the Ktown Plaza, our beloved mall. You can find all the BTS albums, Korean skincare and clothes, and a taste of old Ktown. Eight Korean BBQ has friendly service. Great food. Be loud, have fun, enjoy life. Perfect place to laugh and hang out with friends and family. Much smaller than the modern kbbq joints, but with so much to give. Thanks Eight Korean BBQ!

Decent option for kbbq (AYCE offered on Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday). The interior of the restaurant is nice, but the ventilation isn’t great. It got a little smoky while cooking the meats. Beef tongue is on the menu, but the quality wasn’t too great. Favorites were the thinly sliced beef brisket and thinly sliced pork belly.
