Great place if you're in the Southbay and don't have time for a Koreatown trip! Friendly service and the quality is good. Gets a little busy though, so we showed up for an early dinner to get easier parking.
I visited Ko Ryo Jung with a group of friends and it was a great experience to try Korean BBQ. It was fun to cook your own meat. They have a large selection and they were all delicious. If you have never tried Korean BBQ I would suggest checking out Ko Ryo Jung.
The prices were definitely on the upper end of KBBQ but the variety for the all you can eat option A is really expansive and it's all delicious. There wasn't a single bit of meat that was disappointing. I appreciate that you can grab your own rice paper, but should you need to ask for something, the waiters are very attentive. I felt well treated and left very content with my meal and night out with friends. Worth every penny.
Update:It got so much more expensive, but then new choices of meat are delicious. Ptobably can't come as much but still definitely worth coming!
Only Kbbq place I will ever need to go to. My husband and I always love it here. They are so good to us all the time. So happy they opened up again for dine in.
The service we got was excellent. They were busy and still checked in on us often. The food was really good. They have kpop playing in the back so it was a great vibe. My date loved it

As a veteran enjoyer of KBBQ, I tend to judge places like this very harshly, especially when they are as expensive as this one! (Almost $30 per person, with a 2 person minimum.) However, Ko Ryo Jung checked all my boxes perfectly.
Firstly, the grills are top notch. I think they may be treated cast iron (as opposed to wire, aluminum, or stainless steel). The meat cooked quickly, evenly, and never stuck to the grill. Despite how quickly the meat cooked, my hand never felt hot while cooking, which tells me that heat was not wasted (again, as opposed to wire, aluminum, or stainless steel).
The selection of meat is stunning. Even on the limited menu (Menu A), you have exotic/non-standard choices, such as Baby Octopus. The meat is also of obvious quality, looking and tasting fresh from the time it arrives to the time you bite into it.
The establishment allows you to order up to 3 plates of meat at a time, reducing wait times between meats drastically. In addition, the waitstaff is incredibly attentive and prompt. I never felt like I was waiting.
I only have 2 minor complaints:
Selection of sides is limited, compared to other KBBQ establishments. The sides are also self-serve, put out like a buffet line. (This is a negative in my opinion, especially during COVID Times.)
Interior of restaurant is LOUD. I couldn't hear the music (Standard KPop fare, with the music videos playing on wall-mounted TVs) and I also couldn't hear my partner. This combined with the width of the tables made it near impossible to hold a conversation with her.
All in all, unless you are looking for a venue for a romantic date, I highly recommend this restaurant.
I love this place, i can honestly say they have a complete menu when it comes to food.
My only negative thing to say weekday lunch time serving 8 tables and when my friend was needed water i need to ask twice and felt bad that my friend needed it badly but wanst able to pay attention of urgency.
At night or late afternoon server (mexican or other race not asian) did a great job serving multiple table with no problem. All evening server are great no doubt about that.
The owner or manager is also very handowns to his customer (the asian man). He is alert of what the customer needed.
I recommend eating here most likely late afternoon to dinner. Lunch depends if server are picky who they serve more. Even i am asian i feel like some employee are chosing who they want to serve. Thank you Have a great day
