Man oh man... if I could give this place 8 stars I would. My mom and I stopped by for dinner today because she told me that she went here with her church members a few weeks ago and had a fantastic experience that she could not forget (and also could not stop talking and raving about... she told me THREE times within a span of 30 min about how good this restaurant was...). We got seated right away even though it was a Sunday night so I was a little surprised because the restaurant was really busy. We ordered two orders of the seng bulgogi and the thistle dolsot bibimbop. The side dishes were also so yummy and seasoned very well. Everything was fantastic and I was also blown away by the friendly and attentive service. I always love it when the service matches the quality of the food, it definitely creates a synergistic impression in my mind (and palate...) My mom kept complimenting the employees about the food and service so they even brought out a few side dishes that they usually only serve to their special customers or the "dangol"s which means regular customers in Korean. I promised them that I would leave them a great review since we had a wonderful time and I am happy to do so today. Will be back! But next time we will definitely bring a crowd to share and enjoy all together :)))

This has been my favorite Korean restaurant ever since my Korean friend introduced me to it. All the banchan are made in house and are awesome. Their signature dish, Seng Bulgogi, is always sooo good!! It's perfect for sharing with friends or family. This time, I tried their grilled Atka mackerel for the first time, and it was so fluffy and delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant

Came here when I was young and I came here once again only to realize how good this place is! We got the Seng bulgogi together which was pretty pricey, but we enjoyed ourselves so much. Probably one of my most favorite meals of all time. 10/10 easily. As a disclaimer, this place sometimes has a bit of a more old-school Korean restaurant vibe and feel, with servers who are more catered to an old-school Korean crowd. Which personally I actually really like, purely because of the nostalgia and homey environment. But it might require some of the more non-Koreans and westerners to just be more understanding. Great for parties of 2 or more, or even larger groups! Highly recommended. Might even come here to enjoy the last meal of my life ahahaha. Plenty of parking!

Great value and service. I went with a large group and they were really good about bringing items and preparing and cutting meat.

This place is well known amongst our parents generation but because of social media, more foreigners are dining here and ordering the bulgogi casserole. I am not a fan of that dish so I come here for the bbq and cold noodles. They have good Eundaegu fish jorim and other Korean comfort foods. If you are looking authentic Korean restaurant, this is the place to be!

I discovered something new in something old. Growing up with Korean food and having lived in Korea, Hong Kong, Boston, New York, and LA, I thought I knew it all. But then my cousins brought me to Ong Ga Nae BBQ, and my mind was blown. This place has apparently been around for many years, yet I only stumbled upon it a few days ago. I'd never heard of Ong Ga Nae, nor had I ever tried this traditional style of "seng bulgogi". The restaurant itself is casual and no-frills, reminiscent of eateries I've found in Korea. But when they brought out a towering mound of seng bulgogi--thinly sliced beef mixed with vegetables, enoki mushrooms, and green onions--I knew this wouldn't be a typical meal. Unlike other bulgogi spots where you get a plate of marinated meat and some onion slices, this dish arrived as a mountain of ingredients ready to be cooked at the table. Even my daughter, who's not a veggie fan, marveled at this creation! The friendly service and family atmosphere make it well worth the drive from Marina del Rey, and I'll definitely be back for this dish alone. If you haven't been, I highly recommend making the trip to Ong Ga Nae BBQ!

One of the best KBBQ spots I've been too. I came here after getting a haircut next door and the hair stylist said you should try the spot next door. I was leaning towards something else since it wasn't in koreatown. I walked in there with no expectations. The whole place was packed and busy with Koreans. You know it's good when the waiters and the clientele are just people of their catering too. I got their seng bulgogi which is bulgogi soup where they pour it over the meat to get it tender. Very interesting concept and was glad at how everything turned out. 10/10

The first time I came here the service was almost non-existent and today was entirely the opposite. It was almost too fast that I felt I was being rushed to eat. It is the better of the two ends though so I won't complain. We ordered the infamous seng bulgogi and and dolsot (hot stone) bibimbap to share between two people and it was plenty enough. I've never had bulgogi served this way so it was a fun overall experience seeing it unfold. The waitress brought over the mountain of meat, placed it on the grill, and poured cold broth all over it. Once the meat was all cooked, she kindly taught us how to eat it: as a soup or ssam (wrap). She placed the rice paper (or daikon radish which I like better), meat with mushrooms and veggies, cilantro, and red sauce to create the perfect bite. It was a great meal because you could eat it in whichever way sounded better and the broth was always piping hot. She also mixed the bibimbap for us but I wish it stayed in the hot stone pot for longer so the rice could be more crispy and scorched. There were hardly any hot pieces and there wasn't enough sauce. It was missing some texture and spice but otherwise a good filling dish to have on the side. We got full before we could finish and we received a cup of cinnamon ginger tea which was surprisingly really sweet. It was almost like a dessert but a nice palette cleanser nonetheless. We went on a Friday night and we were seated right away but I know it can get busy on weekends from past experience.
