This place has improved tremendously since they opened a couple of years ago. There are a lot of choices of dish to get. Their marinated shrimp is amazing. Service is great too and servers are on top of everything and bring our requests quickly. It does get smokey inside and you so smell like good food after.

House of Galbi on Ventura Boulevard is one of the most enjoyable all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ experiences I’ve had in the Valley. The restaurant offers several levels to choose from: the weekend lunch buffet at $32.99, an upgrade to the dinner menu at $48.99, and a premium option at $69.99 that opens up even more selections. I decided to upgrade, and it was well worth it. The variety of meats and seafood was impressive, and I liked being able to cook everything myself right at the table. The marinated beef grilled up tender and flavorful, while the grilled salmon was fresh, tasty, and a nice surprise on an AYCE menu. The service was another highlight. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and fast, always making sure we had plenty of meat, sauces, and side dishes without having to wait. The flow of food came at a comfortable pace, and it never felt rushed or disorganized. Banchan and sides were plentiful, adding balance to the heavier BBQ items, and the staff checked in often to see if we needed anything else. Another big plus is the parking situation. The restaurant has a large lot right off Ventura Boulevard that can easily fit around 50 to 70 cars, so parking is never an issue — something you don’t take for granted in this part of L.A. Between the food, the service, and the ease of access, the whole experience felt smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, House of Galbi delivers exactly what you want from an AYCE Korean BBQ spot: generous portions, fresh selections, flavorful marinades, and a relaxed environment where you can enjoy cooking at your own pace. It’s a great choice for both small groups and larger gatherings, and I’ll definitely be coming back.
