ABSteak by Chef Akira Back delivered one of the best Korean BBQ experiences I've had in Los Angeles. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming throughout the evening. When we asked for recommendations, the team confidently guided us through the menu and suggested several of the dishes we ultimately ordered. Every recommendation turned out to be a hit, which immediately gave us confidence that we were in good hands. The tableside grilling service was a highlight of the experience. The team cooked every item perfectly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the meal while knowing everything would be prepared exactly as intended. Their attention to detail and expertise elevated the entire dining experience. The meal began with an impressive assortment of banchan and a fresh house salad. Every accompaniment felt thoughtfully prepared, from the kimchi and seasoned vegetables to the pickled sides and sauces. The variety added depth to every bite without overwhelming the main attraction. Based on their recommendations, we ordered the Marinated Galbi, Australian Wagyu Ribeye (Deung Shim), and Black Tiger Shrimp. The

This place is great! It provides a high-end KBBQ experience where the staff will prepare and present food. Our interaction with the staff was entirely pleasant. We had ordered the set menu, which provided a good experience of what the restaurant had to offer. Everything was good. I can't point to a singular thing that was bad that we ate. With that said, there just didn't feel like there was a show stopper. Everything was quality and delicious, but there wasn't an item that had me feeling that I needed to eat more of. I would say that if you're looking to go enjoy a celebratory experience or want to bring someone who has never experienced KBBQ before, this place is what you should look for! Definitely designed for large parties to come and enjoy food together.

We visited on a rainy day, so it was quiet and relaxed. The food was wonderful—high-quality steak cooked perfectly to our preference. The staff were very professional and attentive. The side dishes were especially delicious and refreshingly different from those at other Korean restaurants. Just a note: the pizza contains uncooked meat, so be aware of that when ordering.

The best Korean restaurant in LA. You can truly experience the highest quality of Korean cuisine here. Every dish reflects authenticity and craftsmanship — from the perfectly seasoned dishes made with their own house-fermented doenjang to the deep, balanced flavors that stay true to the basics. The meat was exceptional — aged and grilled to perfection, simply outstanding. And the naengmyeon (cold noodles) was the best I’ve had in the U.S. The handmade broth and the perfectly matched noodles are still unforgettable. My deepest respect to Chef Akira Back and sincere gratitude to all the chefs and staff at this incredible restaurant.

ABSteak is hands down one of the best Korean-inspired steakhouses by Beverly Hills. The quality of the meat is unmatched. Everything from the dry-aged ribeye to the Aussie Wagyu was incredibly tender and flavorful. I loved the upscale yet inviting vibe of the space, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff grilled the meat perfectly right at our table, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The quality and presentation make it well worth it. Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion.
