Soowon Galbi Korean BBQ - Los Alamitos

I'm a white boy who married a first born Korean American. Halmeoni is Korean for my wife's mom, a grandmother. She's shown me countless ways to embrace a culture and their food traditions. Soowon get's everything right!! YAY to banchan. Soowon is a winner!!! If it's hot outside, order their Naengmyeon Otherwise, Soowon is tops for K-BBQ

A good and warm restaurant in Koreatown in LA to have authentic Korean food. Highly recommend the short ribs. High quality ingredients and Korean expertise. The place needs a renovation for sure.Food: 5/5

A great choice for Korean BBQ. Excellent choice cuts of meat and good service. The decor is by no means jaw dropping but beyond that, you’ll have no regrets!Food: 5/5

The restaurant offers high-quality meats, attentive service, and a great variety of freshly made banchan. Valet parking is available for $4. I visited for lunch on a Saturday at 12:45pm and the restaurant was full, but we only had to wait about 5 minutes. We ordered kalbi, pork jowl, and bulgogi with lettuce for wrapping as a $7 add-on. We also tried the seafood pancake, which was crispy and delicious. The staff even gave us a complimentary soybean paste stew. Overall, the service and food were fantastic and I will definitely be returning. Valet parking is $4.

The side dishes are always neat and delicious, and it's worth noting that they do not use plastic at all. Due to the grilling, the odor may stick to your clothing but it's not too overpowering. I had a small incident during my visit, but the female manager handled it smoothly, for which I am grateful. I will definitely be returning with my loved ones.
