Loved the experience here omg and the food was 10/10 they had soo many options to choose from including sides, the service was amazing the staff helped us grill and chop up the meat from time to time. I was shocked at how affordable it was for the All you can eat experience, the meat is good quality and my favorite was the bulgogi. 10/10 recommend this place for any foodies and they have a large parking space and wheelchair entrance.

Another good AYCE Korean BBQ in Korea town LA. We picked Option A during lunch and it was worth it. Got good thick pork bacon style here. Recommended. The restaurant has its own parking lot behind the restaurant.

Solid spot and one of the better places for premium AYCE KBBQ in K-town. The meat quality is solid, and they have a good variety as well as unique side items like Buldak Corn Cheese. They’ve got three AYCE tiers starting around $31.99, and the premium option runs about $57.99 if you want the top cuts. The Woodae Galbi was easily the standout and the seasoned beef oxtail you don't see anywhere else doing this cut. They also serve a lunch special during the week for $25.99, which is a nice deal if you’re around during the day. The cold buckwheat noodles at the end was also a nice way to wrap things up. Overall, it’s a reliable, consistent spot for KBBQ — I'd probably go back just for the Woodae Galbi and beef oxtail alone.

We had a small road-trip to LA and we wanted to try really good Korean BBQ. Around 6pm it was not so crowded, we went over with Option C for the both of us. The portions are quite substantial for two people, so be mindful about which type of protein you will order. Service is great, your grill gets attended every once in a while so your meat can cook evenly and they are very friendly.

Having visited this establishment on three occasions and residing in Orange County, I can confidently recommend this dining experience. Ki and Joi are integral to the exceptional service and culinary offerings, with option THREE being a standout choice. A visit to this location is highly recommended for anyone in the vicinity, offering an opportunity to engage with the staff and savor what is arguably the finest Korean barbecue available.

Soulful Seoul full? What’s in a name when a place can taste better than imagined. KTown Heat dozens of All You Can Eat (AYCE) Korean BBQ. They’re not so the same. From places using portable heat to the size and shape of the grilling plate, it can become difficult to stand out. Names are often the easiest and most effective distinction. After all, Seoul Soul is both fun to say and catchy. Let’s be honest, this is grilling, not bbq (bar be que is smoked meat). I’m sure there’s some place that goes eclectic but that not what AYCE is all about. 90 minutes (don’t quote me) to order up, grill, and feast on as much as you want, belly limitation notwithstanding. Cheese corn, various soups, even side dishes normally offered at a hot pot shop are all available. As is salad and a few other staples. The heroes of the grill is the meat. Brisket thinly shaved, short ribs marinated and bone removed, even the thicker sirloin was exquisite, cut down to size obv. Love this place above all other AYCE - and I’ve visited dozens these past few years myself.

Great place to pig out. Very generous portions. Highly recommend the beef tongue, short plate and sirloin. Green onion panck is very well made. Great ventilation and frequently grill plate change to greatly enhance dinning experience. Very generous portions, good option to order a half order if unsure.
