Quarters Korean BBQ

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Quarters Korean BBQ offers a great ambiance and an overall enjoyable dining experience. The atmosphere is stylish and lively, making it a nice place to dine out. While the food and service are good, for a price point of $80+ per person, it didn’t fully feel like I got my money’s worth. I couldn’t quite pinpoint what was missing—perhaps a bit more variety in the dipping sauces or a more interactive grilling experience. Parking can also be challenging during evenings or weekends. Still, it’s a solid spot and worth trying, especially for the atmosphere.

This is the best kbbq in America and nothing else compares. I am Korean too and I’ve had a lot of KBBQ in Seoul and this compares with those spots as well. The meat here is top notch, the quality is amazing and even without getting the wagyu menu it still melts in your mouth. The service here is also phenomenal, the waiters cook everything here for you. Although the wait time can be long the line moves pretty fast and there is an outdoor bar in the waiting area so you can order drinks while you wait for your table which is also nice. Whenever I am in LA I always stop by here despite being out in South Bay.

If you know, you know. Many Ktown restaurants are open on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. I went to Quarter’s KBBQ on New Year’s Day, and wow, it was packed! Thank goodness I made a reservation. I ordered the ribeye and marinated beef short rib, and everything was absolutely delicious. Since it’s a full-service Korean BBQ restaurant, the server grilled and cut the meat for us. All I had to do was pick up my chopsticks and enjoy. I’ll definitely be back. Watch full experience at @mytopthingsss

This was my first time at Quarters (9/27/25 at 7:15pm). We were seated at table #13 in the corner, and the smoke constantly blew straight into our faces and eyes, making it hard to breathe and leaving our eyes burning. It was uncomfortable and distracting throughout the meal. The food itself was the highlight. The beef combo and marinated beef short rib were both juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed the quality of the meat. Unfortunately, the service was a big letdown. Daniel rolled his eyes multiple times from the moment he took our order. Yes, the restaurant was loud, but instead of clarifying, he gave us nothing but attitude when one of my friends asked a simple question. Yomi wasn't any better--she kept a blank, unfriendly expression the whole time and stepped on my partner's foot twice without a word of apology. The lack of basic courtesy from both of them made the experience frustrating and unpleasant. The only person who stood out was the manager. He was professional, warm, and checked on our table more than our own servers did. Honestly, if not for him, the service would have been a complete disaster. Overall: good food, terrible service. The management deserves credit, but the staff's attitude ruined what could have been a great experience.

Wow… this place absolutely melts me. I’m a big fan of Korean cuisine, and this spot truly takes the prize. The food is incredibly flavorful, the service is amazing, and the drinks are great. Everything tastes fresh and high-quality. Definitely a place to try with friends and family.

I’ve been to Quarters Korean BBQ multiple times over the years, and I keep hoping it’ll improve. It hasn’t. The biggest issue is consistency. Every visit follows the same pattern: a 20 to 40 minute wait minimum, even with the constant turnover. Once seated, the service feels rushed and indifferent. It doesn’t feel like anyone is invested in the experience. As for the food, the quality of the meat just isn’t where it should be for Koreatown. The cuts lack the depth of flavor and marbling you expect at this price point. Compared to other KBBQ spots nearby, especially Parks BBQ or Mun, it’s not even close. The difference in meat quality is noticeable immediately. Quarters does have one thing going for it: the energy. The plaza vibe is lively, loud, and great if you’re looking to drink and hang out with a group. If your priority is atmosphere over food, you’ll probably enjoy it. But if you’re going for high-quality Korean BBQ, there are better options within walking distance. Parks delivers stronger meat quality, and Mun has both better service and a more refined overall experience. It feels like as Quarters has grown more popular, the focus has shifted away from the product itself. When there’s always a line out the door, quality control tends to slip. That’s what it feels like here.

We love coming here because you don't have to cook the meat yourself. Who wants to cook when you're eating out?! The Kimchi soup is so yummy and so are the sauces that you can dip the meat in. Everything always tastes great and they serve mixed drinks, which is a huge plus!! Don't skip this place.
