Gangnam Korean BBQ: Experience Authentic Korean Barbecue in Lakewood

Solid kbbq for a good price and solid service. They have great cocktails too! The price is super affordable when it comes to AYCE so it's definitely the go-to spot for me when I'm in the Lakewood/La Palma area.

Ahh yes, Gangnam Korean BBQ, the only AYCE kbbq I go to. Gangnam Korean BBQ is literally a VIBE. If you wanted to go to the club but eat kbbq, this is the place to go. You'll literally be dancing in your seat while listening to music you normally listen to at the clubs. I LOVE IT. Service is amazing as always. You would think it's hard to get your server when it's packed. However, you'll notice that servers will always help each other out. Multiple people will come up to your table to make sure you have everything that you need. If you need something replaced or new meat, the will get it to you right away. I would recommend getting there a bit early to put your name down. The parking lot gets full and the waitlist gets long pretty quickly.

I have been coming to this place since I was a child and still continue to come even after moving. The food here is addicting! Everything is so well seasoned and the sauces they give on the side are amazing. Their salad dressing is so good and they have so many choices of sides and meat cuts. Workers are always friendly and it's usually very busy during dinner time. Perfect for large groups and pretty spacious! My favorite AYCE Korean BBQ place!

By far the most valuable KBBQ around town these days. For $25/pp for dinner, you can't beat the quality even with just the A Menu (no corn cheese, steamed egg, intestine for example). We asked our server for extra mac and potato since we love it and she DELIVERED! We felt very cared for and heard. The Soju Pitcher is like a big mix cocktail but very worth it! The bulgogi and brisket are our favorite. Parking was very difficult on a Saturday night, and the wait is about 35min+. It's quite loud inside, very night vibe, but was still able to have a good time. Wouldn't come here for a quiet family dinner or date. Will be back!!

Order their flaming corn cheese. It's the bomb. Don't like us order at the end. No space for it.

I have been coming here for years! This place has always been the spot for good Korean BBQ. There's days when you have to wait 30 min - 2 hrs for seating. Well worth it. Today was a breeze, less than 5 minutes wait. Moderate foot traffic is just the way I like. This way, you get pretty much the center of attention, lol. I was greeted by MICHELLE. Was so welcoming. She did not hesitate and was eager to sit you down so you could have the best experience possible. She explained about the digital menu by scanning the QR Code and breaking down the choices available since there's few options to choose from. She made sure you're comfortable and gave you enough time to get ready before taking orders. Talking about hospitality, A+! Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Drink: 1. Jinro Chamisul Peach Soju The light, soft flavor profile of peach adds just the right amount of fruit savor to negate any leftover sharpness from the soju. AYCE - MEATS: 1. PRIME BEEF BRISKET x6 2. MARINATED BEEF BULGOGI x1 3. SPICY CHICKEN x1 AYCE - SIDES: 1. MACARONI SALAD X2 2. POTATO SALAD 3. CUCUMBERS X2 4. KIMCHI 5. RADISH PAPER 6. BEAN SPROUTS 7. RICE PAPER X2 8. RICE X3 9. KIMCHI PANCAKE Quality is in the name of Gangnam Korean BBQ. From the side to the AYCE Meats, it is very fresh and delicious. From the colors and well displayed per item. You are more than satisfied. The atmosphere and vibe from the music and the staff gives you that extra-special experience desired. I definitely recommend this location due to their outstanding customer service experience. Very clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is spacious and easy access. They have a restroom for your convenience. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

First time trying Gangnam and really enjoyed my experience. We got the B menu which is only $3 than the A menu for a bunch of extra meat options. Ordered an array of beef, pork, chicken all of which were amazing and had so much flavor. The portions were generous. I loved all of the side dishes, especially the kimchi and macaroni salad. We also got a pitcher which was a great price and ended up being about four and a half glasses for only $17. The servers were kind and attentive, making sure to get our orders before the last plates emptied and filled up our sauces when they were low. They also changed our grill out frequently which was appreciated. We also loved the music choice and atmosphere. Went on a Tuesday night and still had a great show up. Would highly recommend for a good Korean BBQ joint!!
