BBQ Rice - Venice: The Ultimate Korean Salad Experience in Los Angeles

Got the Black Pepper Chicken and Beef Bulgogi and thought both were very good. The atmosphere outside the restaurant was nice and eating at the outdoor tables was still pleasant after dark.

Absolutely amazing. Will go here again and again and again. And I’ll tell my friends to eat here. The way it tasted like I was in Korea, and it was only $12 something! Like ughhhh so good! I only wished they had a galbi bowl too.

This was an uber eats delivery. The food was amazing. It was flavorful and the portions are nice. The food is priced perfectly. I most definitely will be ordering from here again. Hopefully we can get some shrimp as an add on. Overall this hit my taste buds just right.

Let’s get one thing out of the way: in this economy, finding a heap of actual meat, veggies, and decent sauces for under $13 deserves applause. So yes, two thumbs up on value alone. But that’s the problem with star ratings: one number can't cover both “cheap and filling” and “culinary masterpiece.” If you’re hungry, frugal, and craving something vaguely healthy, this place is a solid 4.67 (hope you read that out loud). The meat is flavorful, the greens are basically Costco’s salad mix on sabbatical, and the sauce didn’t quite know where it belonged. The dumplings? Fantastic! Fresh and comforting. But where’s the rice when you really need it? The main event (bulgogi, in my case) lands squarely in “mall food court” territory. But service is friendly, lines are nonexistent, and it all lands in that sweet spot between “I deserve better” and “my budget needs more options like this one” Cheap, quick, and better than "edible": three boxes checked.

Had the spicy Mayo Chicken and it was delicious. Great individual portions of rice, chicken, and mixed greens. Chicken was fresh and spicy and the service was great. They were very helpful and patient with us as newcomers.

The food is fire! The service is mediocre, and the atmosphere is trash (literally). There was a city trash can right outside the restaurant door overfilled with garage and reeking of piss. As for inside of the restaurant, it is very small and crammed. You’re almost standing on top of other people as you wait in line to order or wait for your food to be ready. As for the food… wow!! 10 out of 10. I ordered the Koren fried chicken (sweet & spicy) and a side of steamed rice. I cannot wait to go back and order this again. I killed the entire meal and did not leave anything behind. My wife ordered the Spicy Mayo Chicken bowl and the Fried Chicken Dumplings. The portion size was huge! She could not finish it. The spicy sauce was too spicy and overpowered the flavor of the chicken, rice, and veggies. Rating this bowl a 4 out of 10 on the spicy overkill. The prices here are AMAZING! We only spent $25 for our food, drove to Manhattan beach, and enjoyed it while watching the sunset. Our food was still hot after the 35 min drive.

The spicy mayo with extra protein is my go-to dish—it never disappoints. The portion sizes are generous, with plenty of delicious, well-marinated meat. Every bite is flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommended!

This restaurant feels like a Korean-inspired restaurant and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The place was also well lit, clean and cozy . It might be harder to find parking but if you live nearby, you can always order it for to-go. The cashier was very friendly and patient in explaining the menu. The food was overall great, and reasonably priced as well ! The food: - Spicy Chicken (8/10): I thought the portion was generous! The rice texture was cooked to perfection (not watery). Meat was mildly chewy and the salad that came with the bowl was fresh . I think the only thing I didn't like was how spicier this dish is compared to the spicy pork. Which was supposedly having the same level of spiciness. - Spicy Pork (10/10): The spicy pork though, was delicious ! The meat was juicy and tender. One thing though, if you don't like onions, you better let them know ahead of time, because they put a lot of onions on my bowl and my mouth smelled like onion for hours . Overall, I totally recommend this restaurant! Great food, clean, convenient, reasonably priced and your food gets served pretty quickly. They have many branches throughout west LA. So, you can pick whichever is closest to you. I think they will still taste the same !
