Authentic Korean BBQ that transcends the plate. Inspired by 1960s Seoul during a turbulent but audacious period, ORIGIN Korean BBQ gives you the bold and hearty flavors of garlic seasoned short ribs, prime thin pork belly, marinated beef bulgogi, and more (shh, soybean paste hotpot ramen and house-special buckwheat noodle).
“What can I say? Absolutely delicious. Everything was perfect! Banchan, corn cheese, ramen, cold noodle! Staff cooks for you, while you stuff your face. We ordered the set for two. The marinated bulgogi is delicious and was my favorite. But I’m a sucker for corn cheese too. The kimchi was also top notch. Could have gone with a tiny bit more funk, but really was good. The staff was really kind and let us store our luggage. It is a tad loud but not too smoky. I’d definitely return. I can’t speak to parking as we used a ride share service.”
“One of the best Korean BBQ experiences I’ve had in Los Angeles. The quality of the meat was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly over the grill. The marinated beef was incredibly tender, and every bite had amazing flavor. The hot pot ramen was a perfect addition and packed with rich, comforting taste. The banchan selection was fresh and constantly replenished, and the service was attentive throughout the entire meal. The atmosphere is modern, lively, and perfect for a night out with friends or family. Everything felt high quality, from the ingredients to the presentation. If you’re looking for premium Korean BBQ in Koreatown, this place is definitely worth visiting. I’ll absolutely be coming back. 🔥🥩🍜”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
