KOW BBQ

AYCE KBBQ for $ 20… I ate about a month’s worth of meat.
I really wanted to give a 3.5 star rating but since that’s not an option, I’d feel better giving this place 3 stars instead of 4.
The quality of meat is pretty fair with beef tongue, brisket, and spicy pork jowl being my favorites. A wide assortment of meats to choose from. The side dishes are also good including the ramen, steamed egg, and the stone pot bibimbap. The banchan is decent in quality and variety.
My only qualms include: not having any lettuce to make any wraps, mixing bean sprouts into their green onion salad, and what seems like judging from the cover job on the menu… they no longer serve any type of alcohol.
What’s up with that?!

One of my favorite AYCE BBQ place in k-​town.
Clean, varieties of option (37 items plus 10 add-​on option) for $ 20 per head.
You must try
–Hot Stone Bibimbab (with eggs & meat on top with delicious korean spicy sauce)
–LA galbi (sweet marinated sauce)
–Galbi pork belly (super juicy & yummy)
–baby octopus (fun watching octopus moving while cooking)
Be wary the portion can be big, so request small portion for each item so you can try varieties of option.
This BBQ place will be my next hot destination for pleasure in my mouth. Definitely recommend this place!

My friends and I wanted to get KBBQ that was all you can eat and due to the proximity of our airbnb we decided to come here because the reviews seemed pretty decent. They have a wide selection of meat to choose from but we got the pork belly (thick and juicy), la galbi (the marinade was good but the meat wasn’t superr great quality– considering the price point we still thought it was worth it). We also tried the garlic pork belly which was tasty but bc of the sauce on it, it couldn’t get as crispy as the regular pork belly.
So basically you can order 3 types of meat and you tell them the portion amount. After you finish eating it you can order another round. I think this is to prevent you from over ordering. Note: if you don’t finish your food it’s an extra $ 15 so order in small portions.
They also give you a wide variety of Korean side dishes you can ask for at no extra cost.
I thought the meat quality was really good and the service was excellent. We didn’t try to the seafood so we’re not sure how it would taste. Our waiter was very attentive and fast.

My fiancé and I loved it! Te meat quality was amazing. The fact that you have 37 items to choose from is even amazing! The place is super clean, nice setting, great service. We will return for more.

the service is good. meats are good. for $ 20. you get 37 choices of items and thats a lot. too bad the time we ate here. they dont have beer. other than that. its a must try!
happy food hunting guys!

Meat quality was SO BAD.
The brisket and tongue (?!?) were SO chewy. They were very obviously SUPER frozen. To the point where they tasted like the freezer…
We also ordered shrimp, and it was taking an abnormally long time to cook. Smelled it, and no joke, it actually smelled rancid. But, because it was marinated, we thought that it might have just been a funky marinade… But the shrimp was super mushy. Like it was disintegrating while cooking. We gave it back to our server and told her it obviously went bad, so hopefully they threw those away…
The garlic samgyupsal was good, but seriously the quality of the meat is not worth the price. I’ve had better meat at bud namu for half the price. And the quality at bud namu isn’t even good!
They also don’t serve alcohol… What kind of gogi jip doesnt serve beer?!?

I was here last night with my sister
I shouldn’t complain of the meat quality cuz it’s ayce and it’s only 19.99 per person for almost 40 meats.
the interior is very clean and fancy that’s a plus there isn’t much clean bbq places in k town. It wasn’t too crowd service was fantastic.
Just minus star for quality…

I need to start off by saying I was very impressed with this restaurant.
My boyfriend and I live close by and have been meaning to check this place out. Finally came for dinner on a Friday night and immediately got seated. No wait on a Friday usually looks bad, but given the fact that this place hasn’t been open very long and they don’t have their liquor license yet makes it an exception, I guess.
The restaurant was nice and clean. Had a very welcoming «chill» vibe. I usually feel really greasy and gross in kbbq restaurants but it wasn’t bad at all here. It wasn’t smokey or anything and most importantly, it didn’t make my hair or clothes smell that bad! They keep these two large doors open in the back side of the restaurant to air it out.
They offer 37 meat choices. 37!!! For an AYCE kbbq that’s priced at only $ 19.99, that’s pretty impressive. Their meat definitely had quality and side dishes were tasty as well.
Their list of special side dishes had good variety. They offered the usual soy bean soup, steamed egg, etc. But they also had ramen, fried rice, and other interesting options. I didn’t get to try the ramen but definitely will next time. Their steamed egg really caught my attention. It came out plump and they topped it with cheese! Genius. The fried rice was sooooooo good. My boyfriend cooked up some baby octopus to cut up and throw into the fried rice. Highly recommend everyone to do the same.
My experience here was great. Servers were friendly and fast. Food was good and presentation was perfect. The only negative thing is that they don’t offer rice paper. This is a HUGE thing for me. But the tasteful quality of the meat and their other dishes made up for it. I’ll definitely be coming back.

great service, hi quality meet, very kind staffs. even just $ 19.99 for all you can eat!
I want to keep this restaurant forever! :)

For $ 20 all you can eat, you can’t ask for more. Great service, quality meat, and very clean. It’s still fairly new so not a lot of people know about this place. They don’t serve alcohol yet, but I’d still come back for the food!

Had the ayce didnt realize the qualiru was so bad. Nothing premium about it. They give you one slice of la galbee each time u ask them… 1 slice? Not only that… both me and my friend ended up with diarrhea. Never coming back here. Should have went to the other 100 real premium bbq places in ktown that actually serve premium meat. O yeah THEY DON’T SELL ALCOHOL WTH…

I was told that they started ALL YOU CAN EAT just two days ago. Good price, and quality was as good as other restaurant’s regular menu. Personally tong sam gyup pork was really good. Free dol sot bab comes along, so so so delicious, their 4 different dipping sauce were all very different and unique, loved them. Clean place, you don’t have to yell to talk because this place is not noisy.

Kow has good galbi. They know how to grill their meats well and the side dishes are good. My favorite part of the meal other than the galbi was the egg soup. It comes out as a soufflé and is delicious! The place is not that busy but I’m thinking it’s because of the price. The 3 of us ate for 90 dollars and we ordered the combo A and 3 macaron ice cream.

The meats are on the pricier side but well worth it. You can really tell the quality in the meat. The meats were lean and very tender. They have a lot of veggies accompanying your meal too. The server was really attentive and cooked our entire meal making sure that it wasn’t burnt. I will definitely come again:) my favorites were the brisket, some type of marinated beef, and the soybean soup.

My friend and I came here for dinner while renting through Airbnb for the LA Fit Expo. Staff is nice and price isn’t that bad. Portions are small but food tasted great.

The meat quality is by far one of the best places I’ve had for kbbq. What makes this kbbq distinguishable from the rest is that KOW goes to the full extent of providing the full 9-​yards of veggie platter, onion boochoo mix, salad mix, radish wrap – all at once so you’re able to choose or mix and match how you want to wrap your meat, instead of being limited to only a salad mix.
I had the Wagyu Flower Boneless Short Rib and Boneless Marinated Short Rob, which both are super tender and great quality! I saw that they have an extensive list of other Korean dishes as well.
Definitely coming back for the Wagyu Flower Boneless Short Rib and try other dishes here!

Very clean, fancy environment with nice service.
The quality of meat is top, it melts in your mouth. Side dishes are very tasty, too ! I will definitely come again and eat here. If you want to have a great time and food, I highly recommend KOW !

Wanted to try this place and finally got to for a friends bday. The three of us went and ordered Combo A + prime rib () since we wanted pork & beef. I personally hate it when the choices in Combos are lacking in selection or its either ALL pork or beef. the table was set fairly fast. They had variety of veggie wraps & pickeled veggies to wrap with the meat. ** one thing I disliked was their salad… The dressing was off and tasted like blended carrots to me and didn’t have much flavor. I did like how they gave SALSA.
The service was good and the meat quality was great as well. On the pricey side for what you get. Average NOT AYCE place nothing too special.
TIP: didn’t serve rice paper but not sure if it’s because we didn’t ask…

Great quality and nice atmosphere.
I ordered combo 2, portion was large for two people. It looked enough portion to 3 people. The marbling and texture were to die for. The side dishes were all fresh too.
Will be back consistently!

My brother actually lives right across the street from this place and we decided to give it a try before he loved away. We didn’t know it was the grand opening when we arrived. The place was packed. Luckily we got there before the dinner rush.
We ordered the combo for 3 – 4 people. The quality of the meat was pretty good. I would give it a B. But I felt the price didn’t match the value of the meal.
The server was also very friendly and engaging.
