Highly recommend C2. The best BBQ LA cut in the neighborhood. The sugar was caramelized and the meat was covered with the sauce. Their cut is relatively thin, which is easier to chew. Their side dishes are also very tasty, and not salty. Love their kimchi. They are very generous with ingredients in everything. Only 2 things to be aware of: (1) they refill side dishes no more than once, which is stated on the menu. (2) they charge $0.5 per to-go container, which is posted on the wall. They are very clear with the rules, and their service was fast and staff was nice. We enjoyed the dinner.

Food quality is great when it comes to price point. Combo meals are the best deals to feed large groups, and you'll have leftovers as well. The side dishes are okay, not amazing. However I do appreciate their excellent and friendly service, they make us feel so welcome!

An above average Korean BBQ spot. Their crispy fried rice was extremely good at the bottom of the piping hot bowl, as well as its accompanying bulgogi beef. Their buldak chicken was also amazing! I loved their seaweed salad and pickled cucumbers as well. Check this place out!

Authentic Korean food! I ordered Gejang( Seasoned Raw Crab) which is a specialty dish not all Korean restaurants offer, the last time I had that I was in Korea! I would like it to have more tomalley though! And of course they have the everyday Korean food like bulgogi, kimchi soup and galbi. The restaurant also offer lunch set menu for the popular items!
