Seoul BBQ Restaurant - Korean barbecue restaurant in La Cañada Flintridge - 2139 Foothill Blvd, USA

LA county Food Establishment Health Code is A. No reservation was needed to dine here; parking which is shared with other businesses is ample and free. Front desk customer service is not 5 star but you don't expect it in a small kitchen like this where all staff are busy; we came here for dinner and we were seated immediately; side sauces are clean and filled up; the ambience is fair, spacing is a bit condensed; cutlery, table and floor are clean; decor and styling is fair; noise level average is 71 decibels; close to other Korean businesses and Ross. 2 to 3 pages of menu items with separate listing for lunch. Wait time to be served is a blistering 2 minutes and 30 seconds. We ordered a beef meat combo that is good for 4 person. Presentation is fair to good with good portion sizes; the aroma is the best, your food is being grilled in front of you so this takes the trophy. The hotness and doneness will be decided by you so don't blame anyone for this. They have a lot of side dishes with different levels of saltiness, sweetness, umami, spiciness, texture and balance. Overall, the food is excellent with good price-to-value ratio; I highly recommend the food and this restaurant. On a side note, if they see you struggle with grilling (or you don't look Korean enough 😄) they would stop by every 2 -3 minutes to grill the meat for you; this alone is a 5-star service in my book.

As a Korean born and raised in Korea, the food is pretty good. However, foods are a bit too sweet overall. Especially dweijibulgogi (port bulgogi) and bibim nangmyeon. Only ate in store once, but had food delivered over 20 times. My all time favorites are dooroochigi and rice cake soup with mandoo.

Easy parking since it’s a shopping complex lot. BONUS: During peak Friday/weekend hours we just come here to avoid the LONG LONG wait at other k-bbq spots such as Gen Korean BBQ House in Glendale (1hr 45min wait). Decent banchan and good meat quality. Wouldn't say it's top choice but does the deed. No issues with customer service as others had mentioned. The Seoul Cham Soot BBQ team promptly changed the grill and brought items we need to re-up on.

If you love Korean food this is the place, the buss-boy was so nice explaining and helping us, we got our order fast we didn't wait too long, wow this extraordinary aroma, fantastic flavor, and service, the waitress (I think was the owner) she cooks the meat wow love it, are drink was good, the bathroom was cleaned, good price, We got Korean barbecue, shrimp 🦐 and chicken, I got spice tofu oh Mother Earth what a flavor, delicious and great time

I did enjoy their chicken soup. The combination of food B fits our taste. The large combo is good enough for five people.

Some premium menu items can be expensive but regular meats like bulgogi, pork belly are reasonably priced. If not busy, they will happily grill meats for you. Number of side dishes is okay for a Korean restaurant. Decent Korean BBQ place outside of K-town LA. This is a tiny restaurant so be prepared to wait in line during busy time.

I went here with my boyfriend today and the menu was really confusing. I thought that it was a Korean BBQ where you can eat unlimited meat . But the waitress said they weren't KOREAN BBQ . So there menu was just literally a order of plate food that was already cooked. 😐😐😐 overall this was a disappointment visit.

Ordered the Bibimbap and the stone plate bibimbap it was bland. We asked for more tea and never came. And there was a draft where we sat. Safe to say we’re not going back. The redeeming factor was the dumplings.
