We got the premium beef combo, and it came with a seafood soup as well as a huge variety of side dishes. The meat was alright, but compared to other KBBQ restaurants in Ktown LA, it is definitely lower in quality.
Best AYCE KBBQ I've had in the states. Quality of the meat is amazing, the kimchi jjigae hits the spot, and they also have All-you-can-drink Soju/beer/etc. for only $9 on top. Highly recommended.
One of the best pork belly in K-town! A lot of food and you are enjoying their different flavors of pork belly, such as salty, spicy, curry, and more. They serve your meats and you cook with your grill. Very entertaining. Satisfied!
I went here after going to the location in Buena Park SEVERAL times. It was my favorite restaurant and now that we were in the area, we stopped by. We ordered the combo with 8 flavors of pork belly and they were really really good. One thing I noticed was they don't make the fried rice the same as Buena Park. In BP, they used the soup base of the seafood stew to make the fried rice. Here, they didn't, and we weren't a fan of the fried rice. It felt cheap and mushy. Other than that, we enjoyed it so much. I wish the BP location didn't close but I will come here again when I am in the area!! ALSO!!! the corn cheese was so so so good!!!!
Heads up, pork belly fans! Eight Korean BBQ now offers all-you-can-eat pork belly with 8 flavorful options and tasty kimchi stew. The pork has a deliciously different texture and flavor, hitting the spot every time. Shoutout to the attentive servers who ensure your grilling game is on point. However, the water has a strange metallic taste that's a bit off-putting. One round of pork belly is plenty to satisfy your hunger. If you're craving pork belly, this is definitely the spot to check out! 🍖
There wasn’t a wait on a Friday night for our group. The server was great despite our large group. He was quick, to take orders and cooking at our two grills.
However the meat quality was disappointing and the meat tasted frozen and lacked flavor slightly better than the meat quality at Gen. It definitely looks good but unfortunately the meat flavor wasn’t there.
The chairs were stools with no backing which was not comfortable. Completely okay for the authentic experience but wished the meat quality was better as I had high hopes for this place.

I really enjoy this place. Been coming here for 10 years, even when I lived in Westwood and even Orange County.
If your new to Korean BBQ, talk to your server. Ask questions and they engage. They really hired good folks here and I've learned alot.
I grew up in Koreatown, and this is likely one of the great original standing KBBQ joints.
Huge free parking lot, right across the street from the Ktown Plaza, our beloved mall. You can find all the BTS albums, Korean skincare and clothes, and a taste of old Ktown.
Eight Korean BBQ has friendly service. Great food.
Be loud, have fun, enjoy life. Perfect place to laugh and hang out with friends and family. Much smaller than the modern kbbq joints, but with so much to give.
Thanks Eight Korean BBQ!

Great spot for Korean bbq. We ordered the pork belly combo for 3-4 people and there was plenty of food/we had leftovers. Ask for the spicy sauce-it’s not too spicy and it adds good flavor. We had great service-They cook it for you, which was nice. Overall score 4.5/5.
