Ktown BBQ Old Favorite|This isn’t a new discovery—it’s a spot I’ve revisited many times and truly love. Even Kpop Demon Hunters Director Maggie K. and BLACKPINK’s Lisa have been here! (Instantly felt like I was eating the same menu haha)

This time we ordered the Origin Special Set Large (for 4 people). The portion was great, and honestly their meat quality is consistently solid—never disappointing. With how busy they always are, the meat is definitely fresh.

MEATS
• Prime Boneless Short Rib: Beautiful marbling—my personal No.1
• Brisket: Thin-sliced, edges get slightly crispy on the grill—so good
• Garlic Seasoned Short Rib: The garlic seasoning is chef’s kiss—king of kings
• Pork Belly: Best paired with kimchi (the ultimate combo)
• Marinated Prime Bulgogi: We even ordered an extra plate after finishing the set!

Their staff grills everything table-side, so you don’t need to lift a finger. They control the heat perfectly —no stress, no risk of burning your precious meat.

Side dishes & hot items were comforting too:
• Cheese corn: Loved by both adults and kids
• Kimchi & Salad: Keeps everything balanced
• Doenjang beef noodle army stew: Slightly spicy, flavorful broth, and quite a large portion—perfect after eating all the meat, that satisfying soup + noodle combo!

Secret little trick:
Say this to your server:
“show me the origin”
and you’ll get a hidden Japchae (beef glass noodles)! It comes loaded with ingredients—our table finished it in 10 seconds.

We came on a Monday night—after around 7:30 PM it started getting busy and tables filled up quickly. The restaurant has a lively vibe, and parking is $10.

First time visiting and we ordered the Combo Special for two.

The food was really good — everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the quality of the meat stood out. I especially loved the pork belly here. The server helped cook the meat on the grill, so you can just relax and enjoy the meal instead of constantly flipping everything.

The place itself is clean and modern. However, parking in the area can be difficult

Also, the noodle soup — was way too salty for my taste

Overall though, we had a great experience. Not a cheap spot, but the quality of the food and service make it worth it.

We’ve been to Origin Korean BBQ several times now and it never disappoints, but this time our main server was Eun Ho. K. He’s just awesome! He was quick and intentional in his usual busy workflow, but he also remained very warm and personable. Best dining experience so far at Origin.

Reservations are recommended ahead of time when possible. It’s located at Chapman Plaza. There’s a small parking lot – $10 for 2hrs when it’s not full.

Our favorite dishes were:
~ Marinated prime bone-in Galbi 5⭐️
~ Prime Ribeye steak 5⭐️
~ Corn with cheese 5⭐️
~ Premium pork jowl 4⭐️
~ Premium thin pork belly 3⭐️

Stopped by Origin in Chapman Plaza for some premium KBBQ and went with the Origin set for two. It came with brisket, pork belly, boneless short rib, and bulgogi, plus cheese corn and a big ramen soup with brisket at the end. We also added a cold naengmyeon to share. Portion-wise, it’s fair. If you’re used to AYCE and going all in, it might feel a little lighter, but we still left full. The quality of the meat is really the point here. Everything had nice marbling and tasted fresh. They cook it all for you at the table and pace it well. My favorite was the thin, round pork belly slices. The boneless short rib also stood out and had great flavor and texture. The cold naengmyeon at the end was perfect to cap it all off and balance everything out. Overall it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for good quality cuts and a more relaxed KBBQ dinner.

Yesterday I came here with a friend to try this place out.
The atmosphere was really nice — perfect for chatting and enjoying some BBQ.

We ordered the couple’s set.
Both the short ribs and the marinated short ribs were delicious, and the meat was super tender.
The steamed egg was also really good — it practically melted in your mouth.

We also added:
• Dumplings: the wrapper was nice and crispy
• Seafood pancake: loaded with ingredients
• Kimchi fried rice: very flavorful and super satisfying

The staff helped grill everything for us, so we didn’t have to do it ourselves the whole time.
Overall, it was a great experience and we had a really enjoyable meal.

Bonus tip: if you tell the server “Show me the origin,” you’ll get a free plate of beef trimmings and mixed veggies

The food here is good! We ordered the two-person combo, but the portions were huge, easily enough for three people. Everything was flavorful and fresh. The quality of the meat was great. The server will help you cook the meat on the grill, that’s good as you don’t need to be busy with flipping the meat Simply enjoy the food!

The only downside was that the soup noodles (or hotpot) were way too salty for my taste, definitely on the high-sodium side, which isn’t the healthiest.

This Korean BBQ spot totally blew me away! Every cut of meat was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the quality — super tender and fresh. The portions are huge, so come hungry! The side dishes were amazing too, and the staff made sure our grill was always just right. I’ve tried many KBBQ places in LA, but this one stands out as the best by far. Can’t wait to come back with friends!

Amazing experience at ORIGIN Korean BBQ! The food quality was excellent — fresh, tender meats with great flavor, and a wide variety of banchan that you can refill.

The service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, changed the grill regularly, and made sure everything went smoothly. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and perfect for dining with friends or family.

Overall, great value for the price. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Korean BBQ. Will definitely come back!

We came with just the two of us and ordered the Small Origin Special Set, which comes with prime short rib, beef brisket, pork belly, and bulgogi. The set also includes steamed egg and a beef hot pot ramen, super filling and totally worth it! All the meats were excellent, and the server grilled everything for us with perfect timing. Every bite was tender and juicy,definitely will come back!

Used the Amex Resy search to use up our $100 quarterly spend and found this place, surprisingly good.

Fun spot in the old Baekjeong location in Chapman plaza. Parking is still outrageous but still easy access lots of locations in the plaza. Original Korean BBQ is such a generic name I was very hesitant to even try. There’s no Korean phonetic sounds or familiar romanization of Korean words.
But it felt like an upscale Korean BBQ joint with modern decor and decent selection of meats and Banchan. My wife and I got the Duo set and came with ramen noodles at the end which help digest all the meats.
Fun place, definitely recommend and will come back
