Best WLM Reviews

Bull bbq is an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) Korean barbeque. Served for a reasonable price in LA, Bull bbq offers delicious, fresh, nicely seasoned, banchan, an abundant and versatile selection of meat, and thoughtful and heartwarming soups and sides. I am definitely missing some photos this time (Menu, steamed egg, soups, and some meats) but I can assure you that my experience at Bull bbq was exquisite, the service was swift and attentive with frequent grill changes, with each meat platter being a fresh and generous serving. I loved eating the pork belly (I ate maybe 6 plates ????), which had options of being seasoned with curry or spices, or being marinated with soy sauce (This one was exceptionally tender!), they had a taste which notified me of freshness with every bite. I can't eat beef, but my aunt says the Angus beef brisket was tender and very good. The steamed egg was the best I've eaten at any Korean bbq, it was creamy, moist, airy, and savory. Despite being an AYCE, their sides were so comforting and delicious with only a single criticism being that soybean paste stew was a bit too salty. Overall, I had an extremely good experience at Bull bbq and 100% plan to visit again to try the B menu and take photos of some things I missed.
Great experience overall!
We came on a Friday night, which might be the busiest time of the week for many restaurants.
The plaza is small, but we found parking right away.
We walked in asking for a table for two, waited less than 5 minutes.
They set up the table with a salad, silverware, and sides BEFORE you sit down. I felt like this is really efficient!
The menus are on the wall right next to every table.
We got AYCE set B. Was $35 per person and worth it!
The quality of the meat was very good, very fresh!
The waiter was very attentive and checked in with us multiple times to place orders, to change our grill, and refill sides.
10/10 on all fronts, even though we came at the busy hour.
Visit: 9/12/23, review: 9/14/23
3.5 stars but no option for a half star.
Would’ve been unfair for other 4-star rating places if this visit ranked 4.
Service improved compared to the last visit (a couple of months ago). They were more attentive and changed our grill timely.
Place remained clean. Early dinner time would allow you a spacious dining zone.
Plenty of parking spots in the lot on Tuesday around their opening time 17:00-17:30 ish.
The meat was disappointing some this time. Mainly the pork cheek. It was limited to one per table, you could choose small (5pc) or large (10pc). We asked for large with 9pc being served. Not really care about the # but the quality was not good this time. You could tell from the color, half of them were freshly pink and another half were dull. I did not think they would’ve been bad as it’s a BBQ place where the freshness of the meat is essential.
There was an unfresh taste of the dull-colored ones. Tasted like the meat was thawed for a prolonged period.
The brisket might look crazy with the super frozen presentation, but they tasted fine, had regular texture, and had good portions.
The rib eye was average. Would’ve loved more with better texture though.
We loved the marinated pork neck and LA galbi more than the marinated boneless short ribs. First time trying pork neck and loved the soft texture. Mildly sweetened and not salty. Favorite of the night! The LA galbi was fresh and well-seasoned. Loved the thick cut.
Also recommend the beef tongue and the fresh pork belly. They were fresh. The pork belly would require extra time to cook cuz of the thickness, but very satisfying when taking a bite of it.
The spicy baby octopus was good, too. Chewy but not hard to chew into pieces to swallow. Just wish the portion would be bigger.
Overall still a good experience with a reasonable price. Would’ve been 4 stars if not for the poor taste of the pork cheek.
I went here for a late Latino/Hispanic Mother’s Day as my grandma and mom wanted to try a Korean BBQ and I have never been either. After we were sat, we explained we had never been and what they recommended. They were excited to help us out with recommendations and brought a little of a lot of food. They were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back soon!
A LOT FOR YOUR MONEY ???????? A bit sketchy looking upon arrival (but my coworker promised us this was his go to spot) Really extensive meat menu, a lot of options. A lot of side options. We went with option A on the menu. Tried Soju for the first time, tastes like juice BUT IT PACKED A PUNCH! Dem intimate lighting. Complimentary lollipops. Good service, very attentive. NO PARKING, be prepared.
Love this place !!❤️ Service is great. Its Not like the other places where the servers are bothered that you're there or that you ask for more meat, etc. They are very attentive. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't a long wait at all. Recommend!
We always went to Pine Tree for meat nights because it was so close to home and everything there was delicious with amazingly nice workers. Kim’s BBQ up on PV was a joke. Koryujung was too dark.
With much hope, we finally visited this place and WE DID NOT REGRET!!! The taste was really good and workers there were super nice.
They had a really awesome touch on having a little side table next to your grill so that you can put your personal stuff as well as empty dish. With a child, this was super helpful!
However, the only downside was that they were very understaffed (I mean.. it’s Saturday dinner). It was pretty hard to get the server’s attention because they were so busy, 2~3 of them manning 20 BBQ tables all at the same time!
Our recommendation is to make sure you order meat as much as you can on the first round so that you don’t need to wait.
Other than that, GREAT place!!!!
Decided to dine in on a Saturday night. Wait time was about 1.5 hours, I’d definitely recommend making a reservation. Service was exceptional. Servers were accommodating, polite and attentive. Would definitely recommend.
