   I had an amazing dining experience at Antoya BBQ! The premium platter, japchae, mandoo, and flavorful ban chan, especially the kimchi, were all fantastic. The highlight was the perfectly cooked Galbi—tender and juicy. A big shoutout to Johnny, who went above and beyond, helping us cook and explaining each dish with great care. Antoya BBQ offers incredible food and service, making it totally worth it!

   For one of our first experiences in a Korean BBQ restaurant, I think this was a great place to start. The restaurant is quite cosy and the service was excellent. The waitstaff explained what everything was and how to eat it. The extensive menu is filled with pictures, so no guessing about the food. Everything was really tasty and plentiful (actually, we ordered too much!). The unique cooking elements at every table were very efficient and effective. We will definitely return to enjoy this good value (Michelin recommended) restaurant in Koreatown.

   Having visited countless K-Town spots in both New York and LA, I can confidently say this restaurant stands out as one of the best. The food is absolutely delicious, with vibrant flavors that truly hit the spot. The side dishes are a standout, offering the perfect balance and complement to the main courses. What really sets this place apart from other places, is the exceptional service. The staff is not only friendly but also creates a warm, homely vibe that makes every visit feel comfortable and welcoming. It’s clear that the workers genuinely enjoy what they do, and their teamwork and care for customers elevate the entire dining experience. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, you’ll leave feeling at ease and satisfied.

   For $48 the galbi was not worth it. I ordered the Galbi for just myself, and it was a meager portion. A $48 order of beef should be sufficient for one person to eat.

   Had a great experience here, got the beef platter, it says it's for 2-3 but it fed 4 comfortably which I was very happy with. My guests were so happy with the dinner, it had great value and the meat quality was very good. Kimchi was also so good. Good vibe and ambiance, upbeat and a great place to take guests on a Saturday night.
