Choeng Wun BBQ Buffet Restaurant

Best Korean AYCE I’ve had in LA because it’s authenticity and great traditional dishes. Everything is self service. The seating was there since the 80s. Ribs are super good. The meat quality was good too. The best thing was the pumpkin soup and the rice dessert. The texture was just right. The real "comfort food". I’ll be back. Love this place!

Decided to hit up this OG family-owned spot, and got a $10 discount just for following their Insta. Walked in, and the sweet Korean lady (아줌마 ajumma) greeted me right away. Got seated in this vintage booth, and the whole place had that old-school vibe going strong, even the BBQ grills! On one side, you've got all the Korean hot dishes and meats, and on the other, banchan (반찬 small side dishes) and salads. Let me tell you, the banchan and hot foods sold me. And the short ribs (갈비 galbi) and beef tongue? Out of this world, way better than your typical all-you-can-eat joints. Plus, they even grill for you...who does that anymore? Super attentive service, and the owner was so friendly in that respectful Korean way. Don't sleep on the 냉면 (naengmyeon, cold noodles) at the end...hits just right. This spot is a hidden gem, for real. Must-visit!

Homemade kimchi, homemade stews, unlimited banchan stations ala Sizzler style, warm and sincere and attentive service, big comfy booths, and headache-free to park at (it's in a strip mall!) and get to compared to the dense traffic of neighboring Koreatown. Apparently this is an original, history-making spot way ahead of its time. And people may come for the all you can eat KBBQ, but straight up I come for the AYCE banchan and Korean dishes that feel like I'm back at home with mom.

I believe it was a Friday lunchtime when we visited this buffet. The lady with black, medium-length hair who served our table was amazing and made us feel very comfortable throughout the meal. I really hope she can serve our table again the next time we visit.

Been coming to this place for over 15 years. The meats are prime and the service is amazing. Don't be shy if you don't know how to prepare items, the owners are more than willing to help. They will give you all the help you need. The good is well worth the price. As someone who always gets their money's worth, do not fill up on fried food or rice, wait for the meat. There's no time limit so take your time, enjoy the experience cooking, talking, and eating. Nothing better than that. When you come down take a look at the price breakdown and choose what you want. They also have imported beer. Enjoy!!!

I wish I knew about this when I was younger and I could eat way more! I don't think there's another buffet style all-you-can-eat (AYCE) restaurant in ktown. It's kind of crazy to have this business model since you can literally get as much meat as you want. Considering that this is an AYCE, the quality of the meat is pretty solid and they have a huge variety as well. There are plenty of side dishes (banchans), and lots of veggies to eat along with the meat. They even have self-serve naengmyun that I had 3 bowls of. The vibe of the restaurant is very 90's with the booth style seats and old korean music playing in the background, but everything is clean and service is great as well. Parking is free, but somewhat limited, so you'll probably have to park on the street during busy times. All in all, I stuffed my face for over two hours, so would definitely come back.

All you can eat meat, banchans, cold noodles. Better service than any other AYCE k bbq places. I can’t believe I forgot about this place. Came today after funeral for lunch and we were so touched by the extra fast and caring services. We especially loved the pork jowl, marinated short ribs (galbi) and beef tongue. We were surprised how fresh the meat selections were. I don’t know why I stopped coming to this place for this long. Last time I visited was probably 12 years ago. We liked finishing our meal with Nengmyeon and red bean porridge. Such an awesome place with excellent service-which is hard to come by these days. They marinaded the thinly sliced green onion and put special sauce and cilantro on the raw onion to go with our meat. I also asked for coffee on my way out and he poured me some from the carafe but it was actually quite good! Will be back next month with out of town guests!
