Great food! The standard meal is $21.99 and comes with 21 choices. The meal comes with the buffet. The meat was flavorful, the salads crisp. My favorite is the beef bulgogi and cucumber kimchee. We only waited about 5 minutes to be seated. The waiter was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is hip and casual. There are TVs everywhere and plenty of seating. You could fit a wedding in there nicely.

I love this spot! It's got a great atmosphere, friendly & attentive staff, and great prices. Definitely the new go-to for me. On weekdays it's moderately busy, but it's packed on the weekends (expect to wait about an hour). The tables are long with multiple grills, so you may be sitting next to another party, rather than having your own space (you have your own grill of course).

We came here on a Friday night with a reservation. Even though it was packed, we got our table right away. Price and quality were good. Not sure if it's just a weekend thing, but the music was extremely loud, it felt like a club. Service was really great though.

very disappointed with this place and their costumer service. Had dinner with the family on Sunday and their SIRLOIN WAS ROTTEN. smelled and tasted terrible. when i complained they tried to explain to me that the seasoning was with Sake and therefore the taste. i have tasted and eating this meat before. it was bad. Will not return. I payed the bill and told them i will bot return. lost a local costumer and my families business.

Yesterday was our first time we came to that magnificent restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening very much with the courteous service, with the excellent meal and wine and with the comfortable charge. We will no doubt go back there in a short time.

Definitely my go to AYCE KBBQ joint. They a good variety of quality meat and seafood. Service is spot on. Pricier than some of the other joints, but worth the extra couple dollars. There's a parking lot in the back that's free when it's not busy, so you can avoid the valet parking on the Western lot.

This is one of the best places to go have some Korean BBQ. I would always sit in traffic just to come to this place. The staff is friendly and always asking you if you need more food. They change the grill top often! The price is worth it !Please come early or give yourself some extra time for parking or the wait for a table. They do not rush out even when it super busy!!

Stopped by based on good reviews. Clean establishment, quick and good service, and their lunch special is absolutely worth it! For an AYCE KBBQ spot, this one it definitely worth it. Quality of meat tastes great. The service really stuck out. They always came by to make sure grills were changed out and management also stopped by the table plenty of times. Definitely recommended!

I've been going here for over a decade and seen the changes. Today was all great except for the girl server at the end who had a way that changed my visit today. Instead of being courteous she had a bit of an attitude giving us the change. That counts for the service tip on my end. I was a general manager of an AYCE korean BBQ restuarant so I know what is the experience then customer should be. Other then that all great male servers were excellent.

Service can be slow but quality of meats and friendliness of servers r great. I think they raised their prices. Package 1 use to be $20/person. I gave a 4 rating because my family and I had to wait around for quite some time before the meats would come. We were there for 2 hours but wasn't full because a lot of lag time waiting for the meats to come, instead of eating.

How have I lived in LA for 20 years and never experienced this place! Festive atmosphere, fantastic service and absolutely delicious food. All you can eat meat from $23 to $32 a person, depending on which deal you do. We did the middle for $25, had a great variety to choose from and left fat and happy. Can't wait to go back!

The good quality here was top-notch. We had several cuts of beef, chicken, and pork as well as the seafood pancake, steamed egg and spicy soup. I came here with some co-workers for lunch and had a great time. The server was very attentive and would stop by often to make sure we had enough hot sauce, rice paper and water.Would have had an extra star but the parking here was pretty bad. If you stop by for lunch save yourself a headache and take an Uber.

Friendly, clean, courteous, PLENTY to choose from, great location, not far from ABC Mall, right in Korea Town. Meat and seafood is fresh! The dessert was great. The soft tofu stew was like no other. We highly recommend this location.

TERRIBLE SERVICE, wouldn't recommend it, the food is decent, but the service is terrible, all of the waiters had a bad attitude, we had to ask 3 of them for an order and it never came, until finally a fourth waitress listened to us and brought our order... double! Wich affected our check since as we most know you are penalized at an all you can eat corean BBQ for the items you don't eat. DON'T GO HERE.

Have been coming here for a while with the same couple of groups. Love the fast paced service and amazing food. Went pretty easy for a Late Sunday Night Dinner at 9:00 at night. Was approached by a semi new girl who served us. Always gave us a smile when she approached our table. Had lovely service from her. Food was Amazing as always. Always given to us fresh. Glad we left room for desert. There 4 MacAroon flavors were Amazing Cappuchino Flavor was so Amazing I probably could have ate it in one bite.❤️♥️

I'm a fan of Korean BBQ and I decided to take my family to Road to Seoul in LA. The restaurant is in the heart of Koreatown and it was highly recommended online. Although, this part of town has Korean BBQ restaurants all over the place. So how does this place stack up? Overall, fairly good. The place was packed. Street parking only. There was a huge crowd leading up to New Year's Day. My only two criticisms are their table reservation system (other customers made online reservations for this place which was out of service on the restaurant's end so they had to get on the waiting list like the rest of us) and the waiter staff were hard to get a hold of. Our grill was very burnt after our first meal. Typically the staff change the grills often. But nonetheless, the food was very delicious.

This is one of the best AYCE kbbq spots in which the quality of meat to price ratio is really good. They have all the tried and true favorites and their marinated meats are tender and tasty. Stick with the beef cuts and the bone-in pork chop on the Option A menu and you will be quite pleased. During the evening the music can be quite loud (electronic dance music or rap mostly) and the frequent Birthday parties do not make this chat friendly but is a celebratory atmosphere that is quite fun with a bunch of friends.

Enjoyed a lunch visit here. Starters and mains were all good. Starters a little expensive for what you get but the mains are great value. Definitely a place for the meat lovers, but there are a good selection of veggie options too.

Worst customer service I’ve ever had. We showed up 1.5 hour before closing and as we started eating we were told that we had to pay on the spot because they were closing the registers. So I’m suppose to touch money In the middle of a meal and than continue to eat? I told the server I’ll pay when I’m done. She would not leave the table until we paid. So rude and disrespectful. If you are going to be rushing people to eat best thing to do is say you are no longer taking any more customers.

This is me and my husband's favorite korean bbq places out of all the ones in k town. Quality is great! Service is good! And reasonably priced. Dinner is around $24. Valet parking is available, but you can usually find street parking.

This place easily deserves all the praise it gets. You have to prepare to wait through the line to order for dine-in, and numerous people called in to take their orders to go, which might be the right choice given the small confines of the restaurant. The brisket was some of the most delicious I have ever had. You cannot go wrong here.

First of all I'm Korean so I'd say this is the farthest place from the BEST Korean BBQ place, but we're not reviewing just for the food only. It's about environment, service, and overall feel. I've been coming to this place since college over 10 years ago. I've celebrated more birthdays here than any other place in the world. The food is given in heaps and the service is very fast. You ask and turn to talk to a friend, turn your head back, and it's somehow there. Environment wise, also very good if you're trying to get a club atmosphere and dinner or this is your first stop in a night of Ludacris clubbing. As I said earlier about celebrating birthdays, I guarantee you'll hear/see a birthday being celebrated while there. I gave it 4 stars because although a lot of things make up a review, I'm Korean and food makes up a bit percentage of my review.

Wow, not sure where to begin. Valet parking is a plus. Wait time was about 25 minutes. Very popular place. Menu was easy to understand. The food was delicious. I love eating meat right off the grill. Staff was friendly. I did feel rushed, but I understand they need to get people in and out.

This place is pretty good! Not my favorite kbbq place. For $27, the food was pretty good and the service staff did not hesitate to help us.There were quite a few times we had to flag people down to help us, but they were very nice and helpful when we did. I'm not a huge fan of the design of their grills. It's a rectangle with a lot of openings, this allows a lot of meat and grease to fall into the fire. The hood vent was either too far from the table or not on a high setting because it did very little to stop smoke from getting in our eyes and faces the entire meal.There are other places I prefer before this one, but this one had zero wait time, versus an hour wait at my favorite place. I would go again if I'm looking for a quick place.

Didn't seem like they wanted to seat single diners. Was recommended to me, so I may come with a group but it is rather discouraging that. They just didn't seem to care enough to explain how things worked and it felt like they were brushing me off because they closed in an hour and I was on my own. Too bad because I probably would've been done well before closing. May come back here with friends but can't recommend if you are the kind of person that strikes out on your own. Not really friendly to the single diner.

Questions & Answers

Assuming you meant bday, yes you can. They'll play music and hit the lights too.

You can call the restaurant!! :)

They have some tofu side dishes but it's mostly all you can eat meat

They have both - shrimp, baby octopus and squid

Its best to give them a call.

There is free Parking for Road to Seoul , it's on the same block but on a side street , you may want to circle the block and keep and eye for the "Road to Seoul parking" the parking in front of the restaurant is mostly Valet , unless you go there before popular times/nightime and on a weekday , then it's free .
