I ordered the Soowon galbi and the spicy pork bulgogi and both were great. The service was quick and efficient. I highly recommended this place.

Soowon Galbi is a solid spot for KBBQ, although I would prefer other spots. I ordered a serving each of chadol and yangnyeom galbi, labelled soowon galbi. The marinade flavour isn't the best ever but is solid. The meat quality was okay - there are quite a bit of fatty bits that are hard to chew through. Considering this is the most expensive yangnyeom galbi I've gotten to date, I expected a little better. Chadol was good, fatty but still delightful. One stand out feature is the indoor tables use a bit of charcoal in the grill! Despite ordering a la carte, we received a doenjang jjigae with a lot of little tender pieces of meat. There were 10 different banchan and a salad. Servers cook the meat for you at the table and are fast. The restaurant is located in a tiny strip mall with a small parking lot but every spot is coned off, seems valet is the only option. It costs $4.

I've eaten at other Korean BBQ places with other Koreans, but this was the best quality of meat and variety of banchan I've ever had in Los Angeles. My friend who invited me to join her for lunch, has been a regular here for years, so we were greeted warmly and by name as we entered. She is from Korea, so she placed our order in Korean and asked for an extra portion of rib to the marinated Galbi. This worked out perfectly for us since 2 orders would have been too much food and one order would not have been enough. You may of course also order 2 orders and just take home the leftovers... Yes the prices are a bit high but as I said the quality of the beef makes it worth the price. They write in the latest price but when we went last month it was about $62. All the 10 banchan are refilled constantly and a refreshing bowl of salad was also replenished several times. My favorites were the kim Che, bean sprouts, asparagus, and pickled radish, but I even liked the omelet, and green beans. Her favorite was the broccoli, which they refilled 4 times! They cook everything for you and they cut it up to stay warm on the edge of the grill. They grilled the bones last so that we could enjoy the chewy cartilage too. At the end of the meal we also got bowls of broth with crispy rice at the end to help us digest our 2 hour meal before we left. They have a small parking lot with valet, and if you don't mind a bit of a walk, there is street and metered parking nearby.

Came here on a lazy Sunday to no wait and plentiful parking (valet for $4). We opted for the Combo B ($160) and added on a small cold noodle ($9). There's not much of an ambiance at Soowon Galbi - It's a very standard KBBQ joint. Server was attentive and checked in on us often. He cooked the meat and walked off, so we never knew when it was ready to eat lol. I also noticed that some meats were a bit overcooked. Again, probably just us not knowing that server was done cooking minutes ago. Regardless, the different cuts of beef were all pretty good. No complaints on the quality. Banchans were really tasty - I appreciated the different varieties and had a blast trying them. I think the cold noodles might be better than Yuchun since the flavor was on point. Soowon Galbi is pricey, but definitely worth trying! We had so much food left for the next day and it still tasted delicious after heating up.

Went there again. The salwoon galbi beef is really incredible! I feel the portion is a bit small for $63. But I would definitely get it again. The banchan is incredible too. What was disappointing which i wouldn't order again is japchae. Tasteless and really not great. The cold noodles without me red sauce taste not good. If you order it, make sure to get it with the red sweet hot sauce. The noodles were nice and firm. It was a 7/10 dish. Wouldn't necessarily order again and rather try something new.

This review is from a visit in February of 2024. Soowon Galbi never disappoints!! Juicy, flavorful meat with incredible service and great banchan selection. Parking is valet and not too bad- make sure to order Galbi with 된장찌개 as it's so freaking good! A bit pricey but the quality of the meat is apparent for what it is. Nothing significant to complain about except it seems the first server slightly burnt our meat by leaving it on a little too long (they were very busy), but they recovered well and cut off the burnt parts quickly for us. Flavor profile is perfect and full of that umami sweetness, and onion stems were truly delicious. There's a reason there's so much popularity for this restaurant, and I have to say that the hype holds up in this case!
