About us

took my three kids out to eat alone and had a fantastic experience at Mountain San KBBQ. No wonder this place has been popular in LA for over 50 years — it truly exceeded my expectations! 🥩 The meat was super fresh and generously portioned — great value, especially for families. 🔥 The best part? They do all the grilling for you! As a mom dining alone with three kids, this made everything so much easier. 🥗 The side dishes and salad bar were diverse and refillable. 🅿️ Free parking is available (park at P4). Just bring your parking ticket and scan it at the front desk after your meal. We ordered the Stone Grill Combo for $99 — the portion was huge, more than enough for one adult and three kids! Here’s what we got: 🐮 Thinly sliced brisket – super tender, melts in your mouth 🐮 Beef belly – beautifully marbled with a hint of milky aroma 🐷 Pork belly – grilled to a perfect crisp, so flavorful 🐷 Pork jowl – chewy and bouncy, with great texture Plus, we got free steamed egg and rice! My kids loved the egg so much they finished the broth too. The staff was incredibly attentive, the service was excellent, and the whole experience was stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone — especially parents dining with kids! ‼️ Tip: This place is super popular, so go early or make a reservation in advance. 📍 Address: 928 S Western Ave, Fl 3, Los Angeles, CA 90006 (Restaurant is on the 3rd floor; parking is at P4.)

I had an amazing experience here and would definitely come back when I’m back in LA. I’m honestly surprised this place doesn’t have much reviews. It really deserves more attention. The meat was incredibly fresh and delicious. They have different types of combo for meat. They also offer a variety of dipping sauces, including special salts for beef and pork, which added a nice touch. If you’re not sure how things work, just ask. The server is very friendly and more than happy to help. Our server was taking care of 3 or 4 tables at the same time, but still managed to cook our meat perfectly. One thing we noticed was that most of the customers were Korean, which gave us even more confidence that the food would be authentic and high quality. Highly recommend trying this place.

When I heard this spot had relocated and added BBQ grills, I knew I had to try their BBQ, especially given the consistent excellence of their abalone porridge—a dish I’ve always turned to when I’m sick or craving something comforting. Their service was truly next level. We had kids and elders with us, and the waiter went above and beyond. While serving water around the table, he immediately asked if the elders preferred hot water, as that’s something they always request when dining out. For the kids, he carefully pointed out ingredients in the side dishes to ensure there were no allergy concerns. We ordered the premium beef combo, Korean beef tartare, abalone porridge, premium pork tenderloin katsu, noodles in cold broth, and Korean bean paste soup. Everything was absolutely delicious, with the quality of the beef standing out as exceptional. It was so good that I returned the very next day with a friend. This time, we tried the stone grill combo along with, of course, the premium beef combo. If you have to choose, I’d recommend sticking with the premium beef combo, but the quality was consistently excellent across the board. On this visit, it was less busy since it was a weekday, and we noticed a food blogger dining nearby, which seemed to draw much of the staff’s attention. However, this didn’t detract from how incredible the food was. A must-visit spot for excellent BBQ, thoughtful service and of course their abalone porridge :)

I had a great experience at Mountain San BBQ. The meat quality was honestly so impressive, and all the side dishes (banchan) were just as good. We got the premium beef combo for three people. Rib eye, marbled beef, marinated galbi, and short rib quality was pretty good. Everyone working there was really attentive and kind the whole time. Service was fast, friendly, and they were super generous with banchan refills, which I always appreciate. They just opened a month ago, and already the whole experience felt solid and well-run. 10/10 from me. Would absolutely go back!

place just opened a month ago but the entire experience was 10/10. beef was all super tender and staff were extremely attentive and sweet the entire time. also super generous with banchan refills and free parking with validation !!!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious—perfectly marinated meats, fresh sides, and a great selection of sauces and banchan. But what truly made our visit exceptional was the service. Amy went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was attentive, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She helped us grill our meat to perfection and checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. Truly elevated our dining experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back—and recommending this place to everyone we know! Thank you for a fantastic night!

I can confidently say this is one of the best kbbq spots in LA!!! The meat quality and quality for all dishes (including the salads and side dishes) are all so amazing. It's actually crazy the price is beyond worth the quality you're getting. I genuinely have no bad things to say about this restaurant. I would describe more but I'd recommend you to go try it yourself and you'll understand. All the servers and employees were so friendly as well :)
