This place is always consistent - and that's what you want.The meat is always good, the wait is never terrible, there is tons of street parking, and it's reasonably priced for the area. It's pretty large on the inside as well. If you go, you HAVE to get the Kimchi Rice Lunchbox, because you can't get it anywhere else (or at least anywhere I've gone to).

Servers were overloaded and therefore were inattentive -- took forever to flag one down just to get plates for the table.The place was super cold and the TV (which was only playing commercials) was a bit annoying and loud.The food was bad. The food, especially the garlic pork belly (but also most other meat dishes), tasted like rubber. Super dry and stiff. Normally, I can't actually tell the difference between different kbbq places (I'm the type who thinks all the meats taste the same), so if I'm noticing something like this, it must be really bad. This is the first time I've been to a kbbq place where I've found the meat to be downright inedible.Not sure if it was an off day, but I won't be coming back.

Went here with a large group of 10 (we reserved the day before), the overall service was a little slow but the restaurant was packed (it was on a Thursday near closing time). It took a little while for us to get our meats and longer for any sidesThe meats were really good! We all collectively decided to just repeatedly order bulgogi, brisket, and belly (the works haha). The banchan was pretty average and I was not a fan of the kimchi fried rice. It was nothing too special compared to other places in KTown. What sets meat love apart is their unlimited egg soup (most places I go to have a minimum) and their corn cheese!! Most places I go to don't really have too good of corn cheese but there was something about Meat Love that was really hitting the spot. I think I took out two egg soups on my own lol. There was just something about it that just amplified the meal!After just how good the corn cheese and egg soup was I took my family here over the weekend (it was Sunday during lunch time, less packed). We usually go to Gangnam station-- a family favorite, but I just could NOT stop thinking about the corn cheese and egg soup. The corn cheese was still just as good but for some reason the egg soup was just not tasting the same?? Not sure if it was just me but it had a stronger taste of tap water I would like to add that despite the fact that there were less people the service was not any faster. The tables weren't too spacious and we did not have room for anything which was not really ideal. My family and I still enjoyed the food tho!There is a gratuity charge for every party, so the $26 per person is actually went to be about $30 before taxes I've had a lot of kbbq spots in ktown, while it isn't THE best AYCE there are qualities of the restaurant I really enjoyed and will come back for!

Lots of delicious food options and was exciting to see lunch boxes on there too. Service is fast and lots of TVs to watch sports. Ample space in the restaurant and you can usually find street parking

When I visited LA with some friends Meat Love was the first spot we checked out after the airport, and it was a fantastic experience besides a few hiccups. There was a cap on the amount of galbi you could order and I accidentally burned my hand cooking the meat. That being said, the galbi was absolutely delicious, juicy, and perfectly marinated. The banchan was also super flavorful and varied and came with free refills! My favorite was the macaroni salad and the spiced vinagrette fish cakes with jalapeños. The MVP of the meal however was the Beef Tongue. It was incredibly juicy and scrumptious, so much so that we ended up ordering it three times! If you're a fan of melt-in-your-mouth meat, this is a must try! What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. They were super attentive throughout our visit, and when I foolishly burned my hand on the grill, they quickly brought out an entire first aid kit and some ice, helping me soak my hand and recover.All in all, Meat Love is a solid spot for Korean BBQ. The food is delicious, the service is amazing!

Meat Love Korean BBQ was a fantastic experience overall! The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly staff and the cozy, vibrant atmosphere. The selection of meats was impressive, with cuts ranging from marinated beef and pork belly to more adventurous options. Each was fresh and flavorful, and grilling right at the table added to the experience.The side dishes (banchan) were a highlight--especially the kimchi and pickled radish. They kept refilling them without us having to ask, which we appreciated. The dipping sauces added a nice variety, too, making each bite something new.Our server was attentive, guiding us through the menu and even helping with grilling tips. The only reason for the missing star is that it got a bit smoky inside, so ventilation could be improved. However, this didn't take away from the overall experience too much.

I love this place! We come pretty often and it's always delicious. The service is fast and they're very attentive. The ambience is nice and calm. They have two price tiers $26.99 and $31.99. We usually do the $26.99 and we love it. They do add 15% gratuity. Our favorite meat is the prime brisket.

I was only able to get one picture of the food because I was toooo busy stuffing my face!The meat was excellent quality, plenty of sides! Although there were many sides, kimchi wasn't included so had to pay extra for that side. There is valet parking, very affordable and makes coming here even smoother.I came here with 3 other friends, in total we spent around $140 and split evenly between us was $35 (the gratuity was automatically included)We went on a Tuesday around 7pm and it wasn't crowded at all and very quiet! It started getting packed around 8pm but still was really comfortable Would definitely come here again!

Great ayce kbbq that has indoor and outdoor seating and lots of tv screens to watch the games inside. What drew me in is that they have beef tongue in their regular menu and it's so good. Service is quick and they come around if it's not too busy and help cook and cut the meats for you. I've been here twice and both times the meal was so good and definitely hit the spot. Love their sides as well. Meat quality is good too!There's a small parking shared with other businesses or find street parking.

Meat was toughhhhh like you can't even chew it. We got the not premium version but no different. The server lady had some attitude whenever we ask for something. Also 15% gratuity is already included. The only thing good about this BBQ is the kimchi fried rice and steam egg. I would never come back here.
