JJUKKU JJUKKU BBQ

Jjukku Jjukku BBQ is a great spot for KBBQ, especially if you're looking for quality meats and a solid dining experience. The pork belly was rich and perfectly crisped on the grill, and the beef brisket and beef belly were flavorful without being too heavy. The steamed egg was a nice addition, light and fluffy, balancing out all the grilled meats.Service was attentive, with the staff checking in often to help with the grill and refill banchan. Even during peak hours, they kept things moving efficiently without feeling rushed.The ambience is lively but comfortable. It's a fun place for a casual dinner or a group outing, with enough space to enjoy your meal without feeling cramped. The ventilation is decent too, so you don't leave smelling too smoky. Definitely a great spot if you're craving KBBQ.

Jjukku Jjukku is my go-to spot for AYCE KBBQ, hands down. Anywhere from 2-20 people, as long as you call a week a head for a reservation, staff is very accommodating!The inside is spacious, but also still maintains that "local spot" charm that gets people comfortable immediately upon sitting down. The waiters are busy and friendly, though you may need to flag them down more often than they check in. The banchan is pretty standard- unlimited of course- and no rice paper is my only issue! The onions, salad, 3 different types of kimchi (cucumber, radish, cabbage), mashed potato salad, etc were all tasty and nicely seasoned. At $37, Combo A is very affordable and comes with my favorite meat - brisket! The bigger pieces of meat and marinated meats in Combo B and C are also quite tasty, though I come here primarily for the bargain that is Combo A. The meats are all pretty solid quality, with good texture without being overly fatty across the board, and the dipping sauces included the standard doenjang (fermented soybean dip), salt, sesame oil, a thinner soy-based sauce, and milky ranch-like sauce that acts as a nice contrast to cool down spicy meats. Definitely recommend also getting steamed egg and/or cold noodles. Perfect consistency and flavoring for both; the cold noodles add a welcome chewy consistency that counteracts the endless meat. Overall a great spot for AYCE KBBQ, and consistently a good experience!

Loved this place. We came on a Sunday around 5:30 before most people started trickling in. Seated immediately and the waiters were all helpful. They showed up exactly when we needed them to replace the grill and for other miscellaneous needs. Some advice, we ordered from the B menu and also ordered a bulgogi from the A menu, which was not nearly as good as the meats from the B menu. The waiter not only helped which menu to choose but also helped describe the cuts to help us choose . The meats were delicious. We weren't rushed at all the entire time, as I've seen that as a critique for some AYCE places. What I also like is that it's in a tiny corner mall and afterwards the area was busy with patrons of the other restaurants there. There was a drink place right next door that looked amazing but I was too full. No complaints from me personally but a friend who accompanied me would have liked the seats to have backings so we could recline in our seats . I did love that you can store your clothes in the seat while you dine, which I learned from the other reviews . Thanks Jjuku Jjuku I would love to come back again!

Food was absolutely fantastic!! Pricing was great for the basic package but the 2 premium options were very expensive and everyone at your table had to order them that it seemed super pricy.Service was super friendly and beyond super fast. If you asked for something within 1 minute including a drink it was at your table.They had exhaust fans that you could bring down and adjust to help with any smoke.Atmosphere was not too loud. You felt a little rushed that there was a large line outside and the second your plate was empty they took it away, but we were able to get a table innately without a wait at 6:30 on a Saturday.Drink Selection was nice too they had a few beers, wine, and soju to choose from.They bring you a lot of sides, rice and salad all included. The macaroni salad was amazing!

Food was really great quality!! Flavor was excellent. We walked in on a Saturday night which was amazing, and the service was fantastic as well. I think the deluxe was probably only worth it if you're super hungry, but I think the quality was worth it. My only reason for doing 4 instead of 5 stars is because the charcoal smoke at our table was not venting right and often got right in my eyes. It was a little uncomfortable!! But other than that, great experience.

I got the All You Can Eat $34.99 with my boyfriend and I think it was well worth it! We ordered beef bulgogi, kimchi soup, beef tongue, brisket, pork belly, steamed egg, and teriyaki chicken with a side of lettuce. We left extremely full! My only complaint was that it was really smoky and hot in there because of the BBQ. So be prepared to smell like BBQ for a while after you step out of the restaurant. There's also parking below the restaurant but it is valet.

A higher end AYCE KBBQ spot in K-town! We did the Deluxe (Menu B) which was $46.99 and it came with a huge selection!We didn't try every thing on that menu since it was only two of us but we got the:-Beef Belly -Beef Brisket -Large Intestine -Thick Cut Pork Belly-Pork Ribs -Marinated Short Ribs -Marinated Black Pepper Beef-Steamed EggFor the amount of things we got, I think it was really worth the price. The cuts were high quality as well, and that thick pork belly cut was HUGE. Limited sides though, they didn't even have rice paper which is my favorite, but the unique sauces were different from a lot of places! I don't know what salt they gave to us too but it was a pretty high quality salt I want to take home for myself. Would come back here on an emptier stomach!!

Korean barbecue is always fun with friends! It's also fun when you're the eater and your friends like to cook and be in charge of the meats and grill! Lol! We ordered a bunch of meats; we ordered pork belly, pork jowl, brisket, intestine, large and small (it was my first time!) and I left that place so full of meat, I was sweating it! Service was amazing and fast. Atmosphere was smoky and just hella people out on a Saturday night. They have seats where they double as storage and you can put your belongings inside so it doesn't smell smoky like the rest of you! Best time ever but also because I have the bestest friends ever to party and eat with for the rest of my life!

JJUKKU JJUKKU is my favorite ayce Korean bbq restaurant in Ktown!Korean bbq is my favorite food, and I really enjoy all the quality proteins here. They have 3 menu options, A, B, and C. Today my gf and I went with C, where they have their premium cuts and cold noodles, in addition to everything on menu B and A. The reason why JJUKKU is my favorite are the quality options of protein, amount of sides, sauces, and atmosphere.For ayce, the quality of meats is the best I have had in LA, and they have unique options like the lunch box which is a fried rice mixture to accompany the meats. All the sauces add an extra kick to every bite. The sides are refreshing and unlimited. My go to meats are the prime steaks, Marinated LA Kalbi, brisket, beef belly, and pork jowl. Everything on the menu is so good, depending on the day I go heavier on certain proteins. The tops of the seats come off so you can store your jackets so they do not smell like kbbq. The ambiance is fun and vibrant with a more casual vibe. The servers all are fast to assist and very attentive. Rule of thumb, most ayce restaurants you will grill, and now most non-ayce restaurants in Ktown the servers will grill for you. The servers here do a great job of getting your grill started and occasionally cooking, but understand ayce serving is demanding and usually they don't grill for you. The servers are fast and attentive, and I always have a great time here.As someone that enjoys kbbq so much, JJUKKU JJUKKU really is an incredible restaurant! the quality is prime, amount of options are ridiculous, and atmosphere of the restaurant make for an amazing meal. Enjoy!

In a crowded plaza in Ktown 1) there's garage parking that ended up charging us $7 after validation or 2) street meter parking *smhCame here because our cousin recommended and because my wife wanted beef tongue we order option B. We were blessed that we came at a very odd hour (3:10pm) and it wasn't too packed so instead of squeezing 5 people into one tiny booth they allowed us to switch to two tables and fired up both grills :) Honestly I think I'm still catching up w inflation for the price we had to pay $46.99 per person I thought the food was just okay. I really expected more but no complaints because everyone else in the party was happy...I'm just bias because compared to the spot I really like, this place missed the mark for me.What I didn't like about this place: the grill - the hot oil kept splashing out and hitting us and it burns lol and the waiter kept turning the fire down (we had it on a 3 setting and it keeps going to a one setting) and everything just took FOREVER to cook. You have to have a lot of patient to eat here. Also I noticed when you wait a long time, you can't eat as much. (Probably a good thing for me lol) The service was awesome and the workers really hustle a lot as they're constantly switching the grills that's why I decided to up the rating to three stars.Overall: I wouldn't come back here again as there are so many other choices and I prefer eating lots and quick and this is def not the place to do so. And paying extra for parking on top was no bueno for me.
