Brothers BBQ

I really hate it when bbq places put all these cuts on the meat. It takes away the chew on the good quality nicely marbled meat. Because of all the slices on the meat (front and back it seems) was wayy too tender. It seems like brothers bbq is not confident enough with the quality of their meats.

I’ve been to quite a few non-​all-​you-​can-​eat kbbq places in K-​town since moving out here and I think I found my all-​time favorite non-​AYCE place here. My dad was in town and we decided to get dinner together tonight. My dad asked his friends to recommend a good kbbq place other than Chosun or Park’s and they all came to a consensus that we try Brother’s.
The ambiance is nice and quiet (probably because they don’t sell alcohol) and not too dark. They have amazing, colorful side dishes (all which are delicious) and their meat great quality. Even the salad was fresh and crunchy! Also, they give you PURPLE RICE. I love japgokbap and was pleasantly surprised when they brought out the rice. The staff is really friendly and speak both English and Korean.
The place is lacking a star because of the fact that they don’t offer both the steamed egg and soybean paste soup AND because it’s pretty pricey.
Overall my experience here was positive and would definitely come here again!

Very good quality meat. A little pricey, but you get good quality food, service, and the décor has been modernized. They have valet parking, since parking is difficult. You get what you pay for.

This place is all about quality. If you are looking for an all you can eat joint then this is not it for you. Brothers BBQ treats theireat with love and respect. The quality of these meats will melt in your mouth. Now you know that’s great quality if it melts in your mouth. All thewats they give here are good and non frozen. It’s all ready like plus 100 points of theeat does not come out frozen. But seriously the quality here is bomb and they use wood charcoal for the grill! That’s classic man that’s classic. I also love the ambiance of this place so chill and quiet. We downed about a 140 bucks but it was worth every dollar. For good cuts of meat they did a generous amount, so bonus points for that. So you want the good stuff then come here.

Went in to get a galbi tang to go tonight. The owner told me they are too busy tonight to do takeout. Wow, really? The place was only 80% full. You either do takeout or not, never heard it was conditional. They just lost a customer forever.

The food here is amazing. Best Korean BBQ I have ever been too. It’s not all you can eat, but you will leave as full as an AYCE. They give you so much Korean side dishes. Each one better than the other. You can fill up on just the side dishes alone. Then when the meat comes, it’s the best quality meat you can find, and they cook it for you. Yes, they cook everything for you. This place blows Honey Pig out of the water. Everything is served on expensive looking plates, it looks like silver. This place is pricey, but worth every penny. It will ruin you for all other KBBQs. No other place compares after coming here once.

This restaurant is a vast improvement over the KBBQ restaurant it replaced. They do charcoal BBQ and the quality of meat is really top notch. Definitely on par with the other quality KBBQ places in town (like Park’s, Chosun, etc.). The meat is so tender and flavorful. They also serve a good selection of banchan (side dishes) and will refill whatever you need. They don’t do anything gimmicky like cheese corn or anything like that. Their stuff is more traditional Korean dishes. The only thing that I think wouldn’t rate as highly as other top KBBQ joints would be their neng myun (buckwheat cold noodle). It’s not bad but it’s just not as good as others I’ve had. The service so far has been amazing. The staff are all young guys, bilingual so you don’t need your Korean friend to go with you. ;) They are friendly and efficient. And due to the fact that they don’t have their liquor license yet (as of early December 2015) they are not too busy in the evenings. I suspect that will change once they get their license. There is valet parking (I think $ 2?). This place is definitely a favorite of my family’s. Whenever we come here my 6yo eats an entire serving of marinated galbi by himself! Then asks us if we can come here everyday. ;)
Kiddo tip: If you kids like meat + rice, they will love this place! My kids love this restaurant. So far it’s never been too crowded so there’s no wait to deal with. And without a liquor license, no loud drunk people to deal with either! There is no changing table in the bathroom so plan according.

They don’t have liquor license yet, come back in Jan 2016 if you want liquor with your korean bbq.

Brothers BBQ is located where Chilbo was. Chilbo had the best kalbi jjim, in my opinion so I was hoping for a dining experience just as delicious. But Brothers was average for kbbq. We were hesitant to initially dine here because valet informed us that there is no alcohol license yet, but the 4-​star Unilocal status had us staying.
There is a special on a la carte BBQ meats: non-​marinated short rib, marinated short rib, and pork neck are buy 2, get one free. We got the short ribs and the meat was tender and fatty! There was also a special on stews, which was $ 7.99 for soybean stew and kimchi chiggae.
We also got both cold noodles, water and spicy, but those were nothing special. The water cold noodles (mul naengmyun) broth wasn’t very flavorful, and the spicy was too sweet.
The banchan wasn’t bad, my favorite was the kimchi. We also had a dried squid, raw onions, salad, potato salad, and dongchimi. I also liked the dipping sauce for the kalbi, which was a pickled jalapeño soy sauce with wasabi.
Service was a little sloppy. We had to ask different people to refill banchan and would eventually get two of everything because it took so long. We also had to ask for steamed egg. The servers were so quick in cooking the meats that they dropped onions and meat under the grill, wasting some of our food. I’m glad I tried Brothers, but I probably won’t return.

We arrived in to LA pretty late and stumbled upon this amazing Korean BBQ place! The food was on point, service was good with multiple waiters coming and turning the meat to keep from over cooking and the sides were all you could eat! I was really impressed with all the blending of different flavors from sweet to salty to tangy… It was so good I didn’t want it to end. The meat is cooked in stages starting with the thinnest of meats that cooked up quickly to the slow cooking of the pork belly and finishing with the chicken. I would recommend this spot to anyone visiting LA «Korean Town»

Ehh. Really NOT impressed.
Came here for dinner on a Saturday.
Ordered beef brisket, marinated galbi and some naengmyun. Their price is about the same as Genwa. $$$
They didn’t have any cabbage or sesame leaves. Didn’t have rice paper or the radish. The meat was good quality however the naengmyun was pretty bland.
I could hear everything coming from the kitchen area. The servers were hanging out there because it was pretty empty on a Saturday night. I thought they could use some more training because our server kept forgetting things we asked for because he was just chitchatting/​chilling with other servers where I could see them. I wasn’t too happy about that as a customer.
They do not have alcohol license so they do not carry alcohol.
Plenty of great Korean BBQ places in Koreatown. I feel like Brother’s bbq needs something that they can represent themselves better.
I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon.

I love cold noodles and it tastes almost the same as the one I used to like in korea. they have the best banchan and absolutely best service.

This review is just for the lunch menu. I tried the bibim cold noodles combo with la galbi. I can say it was just alright. Not bad… not too sweet and had decent flavor. Pretty typical. My mom thought a lot of their dishes were too sweet (like her yookgae jang). Branchan was just okay too. My family wasn’t too impressed (and were Korean). I think Brothers BBQ needs to step it up since they’re a new business. Overall, nothing was a wow factor.

My husband and I had a craving for korean bbq so we decided to go to korea town. All of our favorite places was crowded so we decided to try something new.
We’ve been here before but we noticed that it was under new management. They still have the valet parking for $ 2 but the inside was beautifully renovated.
The food was great as well, very tasty and the staff was very friendly. The price was a little expensive compare to other korean bbq establishment but the food was well worth it. We don’t even need to do anything, they will cook the meat in front of you so you can enjoy your food.
Will be definitely going back again when we are in the area.

Brothers BBQ on 6^th and Kingsley is definitely one of the best places for Korean BBQ right here in Koreatown. The quality of rib eye and pork belly meat that I enjoyed was outstanding. Along with an array of at least nine side dishes, the two of us also ordered some cold noodles and our entire bill came up to about $ 70. The price was definitely worth the value of the food and I am very happy to recommend this place to anyone looking for a good quality BBQ place.

This is NOT the Brother’s BBQ from SF, nor are they affiliated with other Brother’s bbq in SF or Seoul.
First, Banchan is served in goldwear/​A.K.A Silverwear. It’s nothing Id really rave. Just bunch of dishes but nothing really that good.
Meat– meat quality is good, dont get me wrong. Portions were small but, good quality. $$$ More on the pricier side.
As for the combo options, neither the waiter or I, would recommend the combo. The waiter said combo platters are just OK. His hesitation meant dont get it. They give you pineapple to grill. That was great!
If you order few orders of the meat, they give you a small side of Miso Stew (DwengJang cchigae)
Service was slow because they only had 2 waiter/​server to handle the restaurant.

One of the pricier KBBQ places in K-​Town as it is not All-​You-​Can-​Eat, but you get what you paid for! The quality of meat is perfect for its price range.
For lunch, their cold nengmyun is great for the hot weather and unlike other places give you enough side dishes to keep you satisfied!
The servers are attentive and get you whatever you need in a timely manner.

Came for lunch so didn’t get a chance to grill bbq yet.
Their nengmyuns were pretty good. I got the spicy one, my mom got the regular one. They were both really good.
We also got a lunch bbq combo special.
They give a lot of side dishes and lemonade at the end of the meal.
I forgot to take pictures. Lol
It isn’t AYCE and I wonder if they are the same owners from the brother bbq in OC because their meat is really good

Hot and New!
Just opened. Under new management and ownership.
Excellent kalbie and cold noodle combo. Highly recommended!!! Everything on the menu is prepared by the Owner’s wife.
High quality and tasty meal. Price is on the higher range and not ACYE but quality is totally worth it. Long line so make sure to get there early and have enough small bills for valet.

Chilbo Myun Ok closed when I arrived in CA in February.
Everyone said it was so good and it is sad they closed down.
Few weeks later, they started to do some fixing inside, then the sign came down
and changed to Brother BBQ (Hyung Jae Gal Bi).
The BBQ grill is mixed with Gas & charcoal and meat is fresh!
Bit on the pricier side, but quality meets the standard.
Side dishes are clean and tastes just right.
Naeng Meun regular size is huge, so for people like me who can eat so much, order mat-​bo-​gi size, which is the smaller version.
Quiet, clean and nice food. I love it!
