Soo Ra Sang Korean BBQ

Mean and bad attitude waitress ladies
Do they really deserve our tips when they provide such rude attitude services?

Great food and service! It’s a small & cozy place. No wait! Family style! Must try the seafood pancake!

This is a great place for quality Korean BBQ. Their soup dishes with fish are also very tasty. The ingredients are all very fresh and favors are fantastic!
We typically go in a big group so we can order different meats and fish dishes. Every meal has been delicious! Two thumbs up!

great food and service. small space with a little outdated interior compared to other Korean restaurants but the food makes up for it. nice find from Unilocal :)

This place is more of tofu soup /​or soup dishes, and BBQ styles of Korean food.
So if you love BBQ, they do have great BBQ and soup dishes !
Food are great with free side (most of Korean restaurant they give you little side to go with what you order)
First time take out week ago. Place and clean, it’s nice to go with friends /​small group. (I went in around 4 pm so it’s not a lot of people)

This Korean is telling you that soo ra sang is the jam! Everything was so delicious! The ban chan was on point and the service was off the charts. All the ban chan refills you want without any attitude. Go to Diamond Health Spa and soak and get a scrub then head over here for an amazing meal. Although I do t eat meat you have to get the kalbi, don’t order the LA kalbi get the regular one.

I came in with my boyfriend and my nephew because we heard good ratings of this place. Honestly it was horrible. It was very hard to understand our waiter cause of the thick accent. We wanted to order one briskest but she said that we needed to order two to use the bbq, so we did. The portion was size was absolutely small. My boyfriend got the bibimbap and my nephew and I got the two briskest. After we were done eating, we got our check and it totaled to $ 75. I was confused as to why it was so expensive when we ordered only three things. Turned out she charged the brisket for the three of us. We asked her about it and she said that the first order of the brisket was for two people (and the plate was so small) and the second plate was for the third person (which was even smaller). She said she asked us if we wanted it, but we we told her that she said we can only use the bbq if we ordered two which is why we agreed. We ended up paying for it because we were just tired of the place. And honestly the food was not that great. It’s way too expensive as well. I’ve been to many kkbq and this one is by far the worse.

Horrible place. I had a party of 3 eat here and we were totally new to the place and area. When we entered it was empty but we gave it the benefit of the doubt because we were hungry. Unfortunately we were completely dissapointed by our meal and service.
Prices are ridiculous and food taste fell short compared to other places. On top of that our server charged us extra for an extra plate of brisket which we thought was our 2^nd plate of meat. Turns out she combined our 2 orders of brisket together into our first plate and didn’t make it clear to us that she did so.
My friends and I have eaten at plenty of kbbq places but this one is by far the worst. Take it from someone who doesn’t usually write these reviews unless there is a very compelling reason. Save your money and eat somewhere else unless you want subpar food, expensive prices, and less than competent service.

After many visits it’s still great and it’s our go-​to for Korean BBQ. The language barrier occasionally leads to a mistake, but they always take great care of us. We have out of town friends and family who request (aka demand) going there every time they visit.

The lady waitress here is very sweet and friendly.
Food is great! And the side dishes too! Very authentic Korean. Whenever me and my husband would crave for beef brisket, this place is our only choice.

Came to Soo Ra Sang for dinner last night. I was a little hesitant to come in because the restaurant was empty. I decided to give it a try since a lot of my favorite restaurants are «mom & pops» anyway. I ordered the Kalbi & Soon Tofu (beef). Both were delicious! I like how the soup had a lot of tofu compared to other Korean BBQ restaurants that I go to. The entrees are a little pricey; however, worth every penny.

This place was simply phenomenal. Just go. Don’t think about it, just do it.
We were there twice with a group of four people, and got slightly different meals. The big meat combo that has a little bit of everything is the best way to experience this place. The staff was helpful and although I had experience with Korean table grilling, she helped and made sure I did it right, without being pushy or condescending about it. Some of the sauces were just amazing.
The appetizers/​sides were plentiful and they kept them coming. Oh yeah, we all agreed this was the best kimchi ever. And they kept bringing it to us, no limit.
Tip: If you’re getting beer, order one at a time, they are huge. Otherwise the grill makes them warm up pretty quickly.
Did I mention you need to try this place? Do it.

I haven’t been here in a while but I live right by this place and when I’m craving Korean, I go somewhere else…
The service is good, but why is this place always empty? Not only that but the ambiance is just all bad, really boring, there’s almost an old feeling to this place. Theyre definitely in need of a renovation. I’ve been here in the late afternoon and the evening and it’s always dead .
The food is great. I love the ban chan because they always have a good variety. Other Korean places give you like 3 different kimchi, this place doesn’t. It’s great. All the flavors are on point.
Unfortunately when a place is always empty I get the feeling that the food isn’t fresh which is why I no longer come here. If they revamp this place and get more customers, I would be a regular here.

Time to eat
Love the bulgoki here… It’s amazing!
So fresh and I drive thirty minutes from downtown La.
… Meat is juicy tender and fresh !
Banchans are tasty too!
Sure they have other great listing of dishes but this one is my favorite

I feel like the bad reviews are from non-​Koreans who don’t know good Korean food when they taste it. This place should have a higher rating. I had their goat moo chim, and it was delicious. It was just the right amount of spicy. Their side dishes were also excellent. It’s a great place to eat!

Traditional Korean restaurant near my office. I like the kimchi soup they have there. Decent price for the lunch special and portion is pretty big. Tried their kbbq before with colleague for dinner it’s good but quite pricey compare to their lunch.

Food is pretty decent. We used to order from here every now and then, back when they would deliver to us. Unfortunately they have changed their delivery options and only do delivery of 10 or more orders.
I ordered the Kalbi and Sun Du Bu #7 for about $ 13. It consist of BBQ short ribs and soft tofu soup of your choice. I decided to do my tofu soup spicy and with beef. The soup is a large portion and more than enough for lunch. That was my favorite part. I do wish it had more meat though. It had only a few pieces of beef mixed in somewhere around with the tofu. The level of spiciness was just right. The short ribs are sitting on top of a lot of grilled onions that are just as tasty. The beef is tender and tasty, decent I would say. It is also packaged very well, wrapped in aluminum foil so it doesn’t get cold on the way to the office.

I’m not sure what we ordered, but it was really good. I’m not a fan of the chop chae (I just don’t like the texture of the noodle), but the spicy bulgogi is fantastic! I’d definitely go again!!!

Make sure your food is cooked well. The staff actually cooked our food at our table and used the same tongs for raw and cooked food. Within a few hours, abdominal pain, the shits, and guess what? Lasted 4 days. Look it up, Norovirus. Won’t be returning.

Clean interior and great service from the get go. The meat selections were hella pricey for a Korean BBQ so that was a bit of a turn off. Other food prices were okay. The kimchi stew was super good and hella spicy. They had metal rice bowls which I thought were neat.
I’d recommend this place for dinner.
