Magal BBQ, Los Angeles CA

Favorite Korean BBQ place Ive tried in LA so far. If you go, get the corn pancake, its to die for

Friendly service, good quality meat
Large combo for 3-4 is an underestimate!
$5 valet (don’t forget tip)

Great food! Really busy on a Friday night, so definitely call ahead for a reservation if you have a big group. Despite the reservation, we still had to wait almost an hour for our table. Parking is also inconvenient-street only. A couple of dishes I hadn't seen before. Definitely get the cheesy popping corn pancake and volcano fried rice. The food was worth the wait.

Service was great, easy to get a table, and there’s a parking lot. But the food was bland. Except the marinated beef. That was delicious.

First time at this location. Celebrated my wife's birthday. We were greeted by a Korean gentleman, who was very attentive to our needs. Really enjoyed the meats we shared; the sides were also delicious. We will definitely be back!

This spot is a bit of a hidden gem in K-Town. We came here on a Thursday night around 9 pm, and it was pretty quiet inside. Google says they close at 11 pm, but they actually close at 10 and last call was at 9: 30, so we were in a bit of a time crunch. Would advise coming a bit earlier so you can enjoy the full experience.

The interior is well-ventilated with lots of space and large tables. We ordered their beef combo ($99 USD), which came with _. Our waiter was attentive and cooked all the meats to perfection. The meal was on the pricier side, but all of the meat was super tasty, tender, juicy, and well-marinated. Portions were also huge, you definitely get your money’s worth here! All in all, a great KBBQ experience.

Higher end kbbq, not like those all you can eat spots. The meat quality was fantastic and someone even helped cook it all to make sure we didn’t burn or undercook it. It was great for a group of 7, though the combos are geared towards 2-4 people. The banchan were great as well.

Valet parking is 3 dollars, parking in the area may be difficult during peak times

Megal is amazing, the meats are fresh and there are so many choices to choose from. The best is the sides, usually you get some tini plates of a few uninteresting things, but Magal has lots and plenty of them all amazing and different as well as a salad with a black Sesame seed dressing that I want everyday on everything. Also they come and cook for you which is nice so you can
concentrate on eating and drinking. I give it ten thumbs up, very happy, very good lots of fun and prices are fair.

Phenomenal KBBQ place! First off, we tried going to Baek Jeong on a Friday night about 8pm. Bad idea. Parking was trash and looked like a long wait anyway. I had this spot marked as back up so Magal here we come. First off, parking was really easy. Private parking in back. Had valet, but only $3 service charge.

Place was busy, but able to seat us right away. Meat quality and service was spectacular. They do cook for you here again. Heard they stopped for a while. They work as a team, so meat is cooked and served very efficiently. Our first sever Tae Woo was awesome. He was hustling and very friendly. When we had a few other servers come by, they were good, but not as friendly.

Anyway, found our alternative for quality Kbbq in the KTown area, especially if you don’t want to waste time waiting at the other over hyped places.

I am getting hungry just thinking about Magal again. If you've had Korean BBQ before, you know the level of addiction I'm talking about. The side dishes were yummy as well as the beef combo and pork belly.

Been going to the same store in Vegas for years but this one is not at the same level. Poor service and average quality of food. Wouldn’t recommend anyone going there

We had the beef combo. The service and beef quality is great. Come with a lot of small sides and a soup. The cold tea was refreshing. A bit pricey but they cook it for you.

They only serve Prime USDA or more premium meats here and you can really taste it. The meat is really tender if cooked right. Make sure to eat the meat with the salads and sauces that come with the side dishes, I'm sure y'all know about those.

Magal is NOT an AYCE KBBQ! However I would recommend the combo deals. Comes with around 3 to 4 plates of meat. We got the Large Combo and it was plenty of meat for 3 ppl.

The soy bean paste soup is phenomenal may bea tad bit spicy for some. They add little pieces of chadol in the soup. The grills come with steamed egg and corn on the side.

They cook the meat for you usually. Service is great. Fast service, they gave us the extra dishes we asked for right away.

The parking is valet right behind the restaurant for $3 may change over time.

Would def come again. The meat is worth the price. Although prices have gone up all around ktown if not the world. A+ from me!

Great place for Korean BBQ! Came here Sunday night and it was fairly empty so we got a table right away. Ordered the Beef Combo $84.99 (for 2 people) which comes with 4 beef selections, including marinated galbi and beef brisket—also comes with soybean paste soup. Their portions were perfect for 2 ppl, we didn’t even finish some of it because we were too full. The banchans (complimentary sides) were really good too. In the outside rim of the grill, they add the egg soup and cheese corn so it cooks while your meats are cooking—they were delicious!

Service was great—since there weren’t a lot of people, the staff were attentive.

Great service but the meat quality is not good unfortunately. Way too overpriced for what you got. We ordered a beef combo set but the quality is exactly what you will get from any cheap AYCE bbq restaurant.
