Amazing food and service ! I am a consistent visitor and waiting is never an issue ! The service is spectacular and the food is delicious. Will definitely be returning soon !

We've been to most of the KBBQ in Torrance and Gardena, if not all of them. Ko Ryo Jung meat quality is definitely up there. They serve filet Mignon, ribeyes and thicker slices of thin sliced beef tongue. The restaurant tables are clean. The staff is attentive and kind. (David offered and brought over octopus headless because we asked). Enjoy the food, aromas and free flowing soju.

Food wash delicious and great customer service, great selection of food , and very clean

This was one of my favorite Korean bbq restaurants for sure, the selection and meats were super good, my favorite was the bulgogi. The service was great I think our servers name was Daniel and he was awesome. The salad too was definitely a great side.

Best Korean bbq I've tasted as of yet Food: 5/5 The options of meat varied depending on if you chose option a or b that night we chose a and it was still plenty of meat to choose from and bon chin were plenty as well when I say gas I mean fire I mean tasteful I mean flavor bomb of choices of meat and their sauce complimented the meats very well my son had kbbq for the first time as well and he loved it!!! Service : 5/5 The waiters were attentive and the were at our table every 5 minutes to make sure if we needed anything fast and polite appreciated their service fr!! Ambiance : 5/5 it was cozy romantic they were doing so renovations at the time so it was a bit tight but we had a big booth to enjoy our meal so we had plenty of room loved the decor gave me korea vibes like I was in Seoul but I was only the LA county enjoyed my experience I loved it 5/5 will come back again

If you are looking to get your Korean bbq fix, Ko Ryo Jung will do the job! We typically go to GEN but when the wait is too long, we try to find other places. My first time trying this place and it's decent! We called ahead to see if there was a wait and it was only 10min. They have a little buffet area to grab your sides and sauces which is nice so you don't have to wait for your waiter. They have rice paper, salad, kimchi, and other sides you would typically see at a kbbq spot. You get two options, A or B. Option A was perfect for my party, had all the meats, soups and egg that we wanted. The meat quality was pretty good, no complaints. The tofu soup had good flavor but didn't really like the meats they had in there, just liked the soup and tofu. Like I said, if you are craving kbbq and need a quick fix, this does the job!

This restaurant was perfect for our group of 8! Staff was very accommodating to large groups: frequently checking up on us and removing used plates. We enjoyed the variety of meat and self-serve side of veggies and fruits. I enjoyed dipping cooked brisket in sesame oil and wrapping it in pickled radish! In terms of music, I wished they had more songs to their playlist. Maybe I zoned out while eating, but I heard songs play a second time in the hour that we were there. That's just me though, and it didn't take away from the food experience. Would come back again!

[Review #755] 2023-041 Food Order: BEEF BRISKET, BEEF BULGOGI, SPICY PORK BULGOGI, PORK JOWL, PORK BELLY, BIBIM BAP, SALAD, PICKLED RADISHES & CUCUMBERS, BEAN SPROUTS, RICE NOODLES, WATERMELON Ko Ryo Jung Restaurant is located on the west side of Victory Center, a busy plaza filled with restaurants & other businesses. Parking may seem plentiful, spaces are hard to come by during lunch & dinner rush, especially dinner. It doesn't help that curbside parking is limited to 30-mins. (I think?), but the regular spaces are equally hard to spot. It doesn't help the matter when there's a 24/7 tow warning for unauthorized or illegally parked cars. My g/f says don't worry since parking is so difficult, everyone does it (takes the curbside longer than the limit). Ummm... I don't want to pay for the tow or the hassle of waiting to retrieve my car. I haven't been to Korean BBQ in awhile, so this is a treat (aka food coma calling... LOL). My kids are too young & not used to this kind of eating to take advantage of AYCE, & my husband will just eat a normal serving so I'm unable take advantage of an AYCE menu. Also, you will come out smelling BBQ-ey due to the smokiness from grilling your own meats. A very belated dinner that initially reserved for a French restaurant that didn't have availability on a Friday night (surprise, surprise... told my g/f to make reservations), we ended up here -- a go-to for AYCE. The wait was quick, only 10-mins. before we're led to a cozy corner booth. After picking our initial set of meats, we set off to the AYCE banchan buffet filled with over a dozen sides: bacon & butter (not as a side, it's for greasing the grill & added flavor/seasoning... doesn't everything taste better with bacon?), salads, fruits (watermelon was particularly sweet & juicy, but ran out on round 2; only oranges were left, & they were also sweet & juicy), pickled radishes & cucumbers, veggies, mushrooms, greens, potato salad, rice noodles, various sauces for dipping or as a dressing. While I like the self-service so I'm not making obscene, repeated requests for more banchan, I'm a little worried about the cleanliness of the station as I watched some diners dropping/mixing ingredients, particularly the bacon which is raw. The meats came promptly, & looked fresh. The brisket cooked the quickest. The dipping sauce, usually consist of a pepper-salt mix in sesame oil, seemed mute. I've had some dippers with a bit of citrus or smoked salt. Between the bacon, butter, & mixed meats, the pan was eventually seasoned that I didn't need to dip the meats. The spicy pork bulgogi took the longest to cook; I'd probably skip that next time. Instead of filling up with bibim bap (carbs), I would like to try their tofu soup & spicy ramen (yeah, I know it's carbs, but wondered if that works to offset some of the heaviness from the protein). I'm surprised they don't have a cold noodle offering; I would prefer this contrast to all that BBQ vs. rice or bibim bap. We were quick with round 1 & ordered 1 more round with a grill change (it was quite charred so I didn't need that seasoning... LOL), stuffing ourselves; I think we ate 3 plates/person. Service was friendly & mostly great, though nowhere to be found when I needed a water refill. Servers were bustling & may mow you over near the kitchen entrance/exit, which was on our path to the banchan station. It felt like playing dodgeball. Yikes! The basic AYCE menu currently runs at $30.99 with 21 protein & side items, still a good deal since it offers lots of protein choices. The upgraded menu offer 25% more proteins & sides for a 30% mark-up. For the price difference, there wasn't anything that I absolutely must have so I'm ok with the standard options. Can you believe you can get all this freshness for $21.99 before COVID-19 lockdown? Now that was a bargain menu. Definitely will be back with friends, not my family, as they're not a glutton like me. Hahaha... Recommended: beef brisket & bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi (takes awhile to cook), pork jowl & belly, bibim bap, rice noodles, watermelon, banchans.
