My new favorite Korean BBQ restaurant! It's not all you can eat but it's really good! So much flavor in all the meats and sides we ordered. We came in with a group of 8 and they say is right away and we're so accommodating and sweet with our kids. Our server even cut our kids some meat for them and played some kids music. It was so sweet of them and food was amazing! I highly recommend and will be back very soon!

Hwangs is our go to KBBQ restaurant! Family owned and the best service you will experience. The quality and quantity of meats/side dishes justify the cost.

I went in yesterday for the first time and got the spicy beef soup. I didn't think it would come with as many sides as it did and an extra bowl of the noodles the food quality there is really good. I definitely recommend. Not only is the food but the service is really great everyone is so friendly and welcoming.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IF YOURE LOOKING FOR KOREAN BBQ. Unfortunately I didn't think to take pictures earlier. From the sides to the main dishes the flavor is fully there!! We had the spicy pork, bulgogi, and galbi The service was great. It was a raining day and we didn't feel like cooking. So decided to bring my family here for dinner. Ambiance was very relaxing again I highly recommend

I'm not too picky when it comes to Korean BBQ, but I do prefer quality over quantity so I loved that Hwang's was no longer AYCE because the quality definitely showed in the meat selections we ordered. We ordered the Combo E which consisted of 5 meats of our choice (ok to double up) and either a soju or 5 sodas. We chose 2 brisket, 1 pork belly, 1 spicy bulgogi, and 1galbi. This was enough to feed our group of 7 adults and get us full, so you know Hwang's is not skimping on their portions. Also, 10/10 for service - the owner was SO sweet and personable. Looking forward to coming back the next time I am in the area.

The owner of this place was super friendly and welcoming . Our son was a little fussy during our visit , and she kept checking on us to see of we were ok . She even brought him some candy to calm him down . We were a little embarrassed and she ensured us that it was ok , and definitely a family friendly business. I appreciate her kindness so much ! The food was amazing ! The service was so fast ! I would recommended the spicy beef soup !

GOOD FOOD, DECENT SERVICE, AMAZING SALAD!! My bf and I went here before our movie date night, and I loved it. We literally whipped out yelp, and went to whatever Korean bbq that was closest! FOOD: 4/5 We ordered the 2 meats, and we picked the spicy pork, pork belly, and a few sides. My fav side was That friggin pancake thing, it was BOMB! It comes with 2 drinks, 2 rice, spicy cucumber, green salad, bean sprouts, and mashed potatoes. The only thing I didn't really like was potato salad- other than that, everything else was great! The meats were fresh and well seasoned, and I would definitely order the pork combo again! PRICE: 5/5 The price was $70.00 for two, including tax. It's about average, and I think it was decently priced. We had a lot of food, and it was really worth the price. CUSTOMER SERVICE: 2.5/5 Well, we did go during "hurricane Hillary" lol. So service was...well, not great, and not good either. It was my only negative feedback of our experience here, if I'm being honest. There was an older lady trying to serve the sides, and one guy seating, taking orders, ringing up, and trying to serve as well... as he was doing all of those things, us and other tables needed refills, napkins, to order other things...it's was just a mess. However, I know being short staffed must be the worst feeling for any business, so I try to give them grace. ALL AROUND: 4/5 I will definitely be coming back! After reading some of the other reviews, I see that people genuinely love this place, but the only complaint is the service. I know this place will continue to get better, and I hope when we go back it improves.

Home style Korean soup and dishes! Plus Korean BBQ with a burner on each (small) table which is great when there's just two of you. No need to wait to eat KBBQ with a large group, and because it's not AYCE they use higher quality meats than buffet style places. It's a family owned and run business that's been around for decades! Super friendly staff and the mom was cooking when we visited recently which was a huge plus for delicious authentic food. Portion sizes were excellent and they provided a lot of banchan side dishes including ones you don't always get at most Korean spots, yay. We ordered a bimbimbap and beef soup (galbi tang) and the soup really made me feel like I was eating homemade healthy comfort food. It had clear noodles and daikon and delicious meat on the bone. They're open late which is awesome. Just be aware that the last call is more than an hour before closing. When we ate recently we saw them turn away people 1 hour, 15 mins prior to the yelp listed close time.

The food we ordered was a bountiful plenty, the beautiful hostess at the stand kindly greeted us & sat us. Immediately other people started coming in & the restaurant was busy but gave me a nostalgia feeling. It was the first time taking my little sister out & treating her to Korean bbq. Oh yeah they also let you keep all the food you ordered unlike most Korean bbq places !! Would & will come again :)

If you are looking for a place that is open late with great meats and friendly service, This is the place: Landed in LAX hungry after flying for 14.5 hours. Didn't get rental car until 10:30pmish. Was in search for Korean BBQ that is open late. Found this life saver. Walked in at 11:05pm. They close at midnight on Saturday. New management. The mom and son was Uber- friendly. Great service. Satifying bbq. We ordered Combo C for three people, choice of 3 meat and sides. Ordered Brisket, Bullogi, Boneless rib and pork belly. We couldn't eat them all, so we took the leftovers home. Definitely have to come back when in the area again.
