IMO and I think it's one shared by many that Parks BBQ is far and above the best KBBQ in Los Angeles, in all of California, and likely even beyond. It is ALWAYS crowded and they don't take reservations so the wait times can be quite long. I took the opportunity to go here on a random weekday at the start of the day, when they opened at 11am, so parking was easy in their small lot which is shared with other businesses in that strip mall. The entryway has their Celebrity Wall, which is filled with pictures with famous celebriities who have frequented this famous world-class establishment. The interior is modern and sleek. The built-in table grills were all very clean. The waitstaff were very professional and cooked everything for us tableside. The served a large assortment of the banchan which were all delicious. We ordered the chef's special for 2 and let me tell you it was a great deal and well-worth the price of $170.

Yummy KBBQ, meat was all great quality, but the banchan here is also really good (however I felt Park's cost alot more than I usually pay for KBBQ) Another standout here is the Galbi Tang, really hit the spot as a side dish and the meat was so tender Service was a little slow, we sat outside and had to keep trying to track down our waitress NOTE: they have valet parking in the plaza

A very popular kbbq restaurant, reservations are definitely recommended. Despite it being a day filled with crazy rain the place was packed when we went for dinner. We checked in and after waiting briefly we were led past a photo wall of celebrities who had dined here. The place is huge and can definitely host very large groups. We selected one of the tasting menus: P2 which includes ribeye and pork belly plus everything from P1. Our server recommended it for our group of 6. We also ordered a few other dishes like soondubu jjigae, steamed egg, and japchae. We wanted to drink some makgeolli but they were out that day so we just went without. They run a very tight ship here and everyone works together to make sure things go smoothly. Our server was the main person who tended to us and cooked our food. But other people came by to check on us and bring us anything else we needed. The food, unsurprisingly, was delicious! Everything tasted very good especially the ribeye. The quality of all the meat was definitely a step above the average kbbq place. And the banchan was varied but also delicious. We left feeling very full and very happy. While there are a ton of good choices for Korean food and kbbq here in LA, Park's BBQ is certainly a top choice.

Came here at 3pm for lunch which was perfect because no crowds or wait! I noticed there was seating inside and outside, so I know it can definitely get busy! When you enter you see all the pictures of the actors and actresses who have dined. I really enjoyed the food due to the quality of the meat selection. We ordered the Beef Brisket, Boneless Beef Short Rib, Galbi Tang, Ggot Sal, Marinated Galbi, Pork Belly, Rib Eye Steak, and Seafood Pancake Special. It was all so delicious! We are use to cooking our own Korean BBQ, but it was nice to have the waitress cook for us in which she would cut the meats so everyone at the table could have nice bite sized portions. Definitely recommend and we will be coming back!

Taste of Parks BBQ - Ggot Sal, Parks Gal-Bi, Bulgogi, Beef Brisket, Boneless Beef Short Rib I read this place is widely regarded as a reliable go-to spot and one of the best. I must agree. Every meat was high quality and cooked to perfection by the staff. Banchan was also good. No issues with service. Staff were friendly and do a good job of checking on your table. The prices are pricey so this would be a special occasion spot.

Potentially the best KBBQ restaurant in LA. Everything about it, including food, service, and ambience, exceeded expectations. This place is clearly popular for a reason. I had the P1 combo, which includes 5 various meats. Although all of them are very good, my favorites from this are Parks Gal-Bi and Boneless Beef Short Rib. Parks Gal-Bi is marinated in their award winning sauce - so delicious! The meats here are definitely high quality. Even the banchan is good. An employee cooked all of the food for us and his timing of everything was spot on. He was also quick to bring us refills of tea and water. Valet parking is only $4 - very reasonable price. Some may say this place is expensive, but for everything you get, it's completely worth it. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.

One of the best loved Korean BBQ restaurants in Los Angeles, for good reason. Park's BBQ was opened in 2003 by chef Jenee Kim, who is from Seoul. She incorporates inventive flavors into traditional Korean cuisine, and is dedicated to only using high quality ingredients. The ambience is upscale but casual, with spacious tables fitted with grill tops. Reservations are strongly recommended. My husband and I came here for a friend's birthday, and had a great time. Service was attentive and friendly, and the pacing of the meal was immaculate. We were quickly served beer, and an impressive selection of banchan: kimchi, spicy cucumber salad, seasoned radish, mac salad, even tteokbokki! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I do not eat meat, and still left stuffed. I loved the textural variation in the Seafood Pancake, which was packed with tender clams and baby octopus. The Kimchi Pancake was great as well, with a tangy flavor and perfect crisp on the exterior. As my main course, I had their Bibim Naengmyeon, a classic cold buckwheat noodle dish. It was one of the best renditions I have ever enjoyed. Everyone else in my group ordered a variety of meats, which were accompanied by fresh herbs, rice paper skins, and of course, the array of banchan. If you are in search of a Korean BBQ experience that is high quality but not overly fancy, Park's is a fantastic option.

For an inexperienced KBBQ eater, this was beyond fantastic ! We split the "P1. Ggot Sal, Parks Gal-Bi, Bulgogi, Beef Brisket, Boneless Beef Short Rib" , beef tartar, and veggie stone pot fried rice and it was more than enough for 3 people. Came to about $70 each, no drinks. Pretty good! We went around 4:30 on a Wednesday and there was no line! The waiters cooked the meat to perfection for us and were helpful in explaining what everything is. We also scarfed down the appetizers that came with the P1. My favorite was the mushrooms. Would definitely like to come back!
