Oo-Kook Korean BBQ

My favorite KBBQ spot in La Easy to make a reservation Best meats And quick and friendly staffHighly recommend !

I came here on a Sunday with a party of 5. It was a slow Sunday around 4:30pm. Unfortunately we were placed at a table with a faulty grill. The grill kept turning off and the staff tried to keep us there. We had to request to be moved to a different grill as it was taking ridiculously long for the meats to cook. In that aspect I wish they would have offered the second time or even the third time for us to move. There is a call button that you press for the staff to come get your order which makes it a bit annoying for them I think ahaha. There was a Latino waiter who was extra accommodating and gave us great suggestions about cooking and she meats to choose props to him!!! Overall I would say that the service is okay. The meats were pretty well marinated. There are plenty of KBBQs in ktown but give this one a try if you have some down time.

AYCE for a decent price. Meat quality is ok but it's AYCE so that's expected. Meat variety is very good, they have multiple cuts of beef. Service is good too. The servers grill for you and have a good attitude. Parking is $4. Overall, is it as good as Hae Jang Chon? Probably not. But I still think this place deserves 4-5 stars considering all factors combined.

This is my usual AYCE spot and since my last visit here, I feel like it just doesn't hit the same. It's still a great spot, but their meats have changed in my opinion. The bulgogi has a different taste, the filet mignon and ribeye comes with butter and a sprig of thyme now? the pork belly is no bueno. The grill we had was bad-it would take forever to heat up and cook the meats. Also, they were blasting club type EDM music which was doing too much. I'm curious as to why they fell off. New management? No idea, but I will likely just stick to regular KBBQ restaurants that prioritize meat quality.

Came in on a late Friday when it just opened (5:00 pm). Used valet ($4) and was seated right away. Service was great and my friends & I understood we had to wait a bit to order later when it was super busy (starting 6:00 pm). Servers were kind and we could see some of then rushing around to accommodate multiple tables. Orders come out fairly quick. Servers sometimes help cut meat or cook a bit. Everything was delicious, from side dishes to meet to soup and noodles. My favorite was theur marinated dishes (spicy pork belly, bulgogi) and thin meat slices (brisket, pork belly thin). Ended up paying about $41-$42 per head (including tax but without tip). Apparently there's a 2nd floor! Bathroom cubicle can be small. Overall, definitely recommend and would like to return!

There are obviously a ton of Korean BBQ places in K Town. Of the ones we have been to Oo-Kook is hands down the best. Best food, best service, and while it might be a bit more expensive than the others, if is WAY worth it. No meat sitting out for hours that you serve yourself. They bring it freshly cut from the kitchen and it is super high quality. Tons of sides and sauces. Highly recommend!!

Oo Kook is a favorite staple of a couple of friends and mine when it comes to KBBQ in the heart of KTown, and there are several reasons for it:1. Its seating layout is so well-made that you're never in the way of anyone else.2. Nice aluminum chopsticks. Such a nice touch that you seldom see at these kind of places!3. AYCE KBBQ! But truly AYCE. To the point that, when first got here this time around, my friend asked the server for extra banchan from the get-go and the accommodated our request!4. Last time I came here, they did not have fishcakes, but they do now! Love having them expand and improve the menu on their own volition. 5. All of the cuts are fresh and of high quality. You never feel like you're eating 2nd-grade meat.6. They have valet parking (please bring cash) OR street parking nearby is also an option!These are just some of the reasons that keep us coming here. Top-notch service too!

Food was fantastic from the meat selection, marinades, and side dishes. The short ribs, ribeye, and jowl were my favorites that I had to keep reordering. I normally enjoy the pork belly but it just wasn't hitting. The sides were so good and complemented the meal. Service was friendly and fast. I wish there was more vents or they worked better or something because I chose the wrong seat and was covered in all the meat smells. Some items took long to come out but meats were always quick so it's fine. Parking can be a pain if you aren't lucky to find any street parking but they do offer valet.
