Gangnam Korean BBQ: Reviews & Ratings

Good selection of food with fair pricing. The service is quick and attentive. It's very loud inside and there is loud music playing as well which makes conversations difficult while cooking your meat selections. Seating options include booths, half booths, and tables with chairs, so its very accomodating. Overall it's one of the better Korean BBQ places I've visited. Would definitely return and highly recommend.

Gangnam Korean BBQ is such a fun spot for a delicious and affordable all-you-can-eat meal! The vibe is lively, perfect for a family dinner or a casual night out with friends. The variety of meats really impressed me — galbi, prime flower, American wagyu beef belly, prime finger short rib, and enoki rolls — everything was fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. The service was excellent too; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure our grill was always ready for the next round. Great food, great value, and great service — I’ll definitely be coming back!

I wish i could give 4.5 stars but i’ll opt for four. super busy and fast pace placed, but after we were seated we didn’t have a server for about 15 minutes. The food came out quickly and the servers were on it after we took our initial order. ice cream at the end was a nice touch, not the best quality but hey it’s free so no complaints there

Came here for the first time & everything was amazing! Service was great. All the waiters were super sweet and attentive. The food was amazing! I like how the serving sizes for the meats were not too big as well! I love the playlist of music that was playing, the only complaint was that the music was a little loud. But overall I give it 10/10 !

The food was good, price was reasonable and service was spot on. Came here with me toddler and baby and our waitress was very accommodating and very quick to fill our orders. We ordered a ton of Galbi and the flavor was nice and marinated. The flaming hot corn cheese was a surprise treat!

Giving it 5 stars because I got more than expected. It's almost packed every weekend. Don't like waiting so I finally made time and went earlier during a Friday, it seems rush hourS we're barely starting as there were a lot of open and clean tables and we had to wait for almost 20mins. Once seated our servers were amazing. Menu was extense and prices are great. There's even free ice cream for dessert. It is smaller than other bbq places but it was a great experience, would definitely recommend it and most likely will go back, but beware of weekend nights, it gets really packed. Second visit, still good. Menu A and B do change only on price depending if lunch or dinner, but items remain the same

Meat selection and food is awesome. Staffed properly and easy to call for service help. The booths are just small for big groups or for bigger adults. The tables were ample size.

First time here, wasn't packed during the time I went which was around 3pm on a Saturday. Ambiance was nice I liked the music/vibe. Service was quick and very attentive. Meat quality was amazing. Would definitely come back here. Don't forget your free icecream at the end for the cherry on top!
